not really that old. You know, I just got the
album came out in November.
Speaker 8: Okay, Yeah, I was gonna say Earning the Arnauts. Yeah,
not that not that long ago. So when you is it?
Is it hard?
Speaker 9: I mean again, I I know we talked about this
last time you're here, but it's so impressive to me
that you're able to set all that up and and
be the self contained. You know, they used to call
that a one man band, right, right, it's completely self contained.
Speaker 3: You look up a drum to one one heel and
the other.
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's all they used to do at old school. Yeah,
I mean, is that challenging.
Speaker 3: Yes, it's tough.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 3: I'm always on the search for a drummer or uh
and a keyboard player. Yeah, and it's hired. I've been
trying to put together a a three piece for a
few years now. I played with people. I have a
couple of drummers. I brought a drummer in last time.
He he played on All Aaron and the Argonauts, okay,
the whole album. But he doesn't you know, he doesn't
play out.
Speaker 8: Oh so who is it?
Speaker 3: Jason Staples? Okay, you know that's the guy I brought
in last time.
Speaker 8: Oh gotcha? I was gonna say the name is familiar.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, gotcha. I mean, if you want to find him,
he at Jason Staples drum Lessons online. Yeah, it's pretty
easy just to look on YouTube.
Speaker 8: But he doesn't play out at all.
Speaker 3: No, he doesn't leave the house, but he gives lessons
at his house.
Speaker 8: Gotcha?
Speaker 3: And uh, yeah, I worked with him for a good
like eight months or so, and right before my surgery
was coming up, and right right right before the surgery,
it was like a big sprint to get all his
drums recorded. So you know, I got everything together and
we set it all up at his house and we
spent a few days on it and it was pretty good. Yeah,
you know you're hearing what we got from it.
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, absolutely. So what's what's the plan for the
new material as far as recording or maybe have you
already started recording.
Speaker 3: It or oh yeah, yeah, I mean, uh, you're kind
of hearing a little of the backing tracks, you know,
minus my my vocals and the base, but the base
and vocals, like, I've got the scratch tracks recorded for
all of it, okay, you know so far.
Speaker 8: Yeah, and.
Speaker 3: I'll get to it. Like I put my albums out
every fall, usually about October and November is when I
put them out, so I get some time. I actually,
like way ahead of schedule.
Speaker 8: Yeah, so that's good. Yeah, it will be a full
album or an EP.
Speaker 3: Or probably Yeah, I put out full albums. Yeah, I've
put out singles before, but uh, yeah, you know, I
don't I don't make any money so I'm just gonna
I'm gonna do it the way I remember. You know,
I grew up in the in the nineties, you know,
and it was all CDs and stuff.
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, Yeah.
Speaker 3: I can't stop writing. And it never it never ends
for me. Yeah, my brain's alway going. It wakes me
up at three in the morning and then I'm downstairs
working on ideas.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So so so it just it just never stopped. So
I put out an album a year I've been putting out.
I put out kind of like this weird techno album
called Drifting Signals a couple of months ago you did, Yeah,
and that was a YouTube project where every week I
did free form synth exploration is what I called it, Okay,
And I set up all my stuff, usually like in
the middle of the night. Yeah, and I put like
a GoPro my forehead, and I put a bunch of
cameras at all the synthesizers and stuff this out. Yeah,
and they're all about fifteen minutes long.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 3: And uh, you know, when I once I was done,
I did six weeks in a row of this and
I was like, man, I could just put this out.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 3: There's a few of the episodes like episode five is
like my underwater episode where a tribute to my fish. Yeah,
it's like my favorite one out of it. So I
put it out so basically I can listen to it.
Speaker 8: Oh wow, that's cool.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that was cool.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I've been doing a weekly YouTube show every single week. Yeah,
where I put h I produced like a song a week, yeah,
of all my old material okay, because you know, you
know what is it was it like fifty two weeks
in a year and I got over fifty two songs. Yeah,
you know, so I figured, you know, what a great
way to you know, I got plenty of I got
plenty of material, and I started doing that. I was
putting out all these like uh these fun videos, all
like creative different videos, and the I've you started stacking up,
started stacking I'm getting like two thousand views on my
shorts now, which which is a lot for like a
middle aged man.
Speaker 8: Sure sure yeah.
Speaker 3: And it took a while, and I've I've been having
guests lately, yeah, coming and perform. Yeah, I had six
minds combined. Okay, he came over and he did a song. Uh,
I got I got everybody on here. Let's see here
I had, Oh, I had Michael Mandonka from a Land
of Corvette, the bass player, and we did it like
a duet together like a bass Uh.
Speaker 8: I have to check that out.
Speaker 3: For Adam, Jocelyn from Able Blood came and he he
did a song. Oh cool, this guy, uh George Daher
and he played keyboards and he goes by the Trypto
Phantom and he did an episode. So like I'm always
looking for guests, I got some people lined up coming up.
I'm gonna I'm gonna start focusing on bass players, I think. Yeah,
you know, so I've been reaching out to bass players
that have their own their own solo thing, and I
got a couple of guys lined up, and I'm gonna
be reaching out to more.
Speaker 8: Very cool.
Speaker 4: Oh.
Speaker 3: I mean, if you're a bass player and you're listening
and you know me, I'm probably gonna I'm probably gonna
end up.
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's awesome. What's the Chateau bill.
Speaker 3: That I So that's just uh just the name of
the show that I call it. So I call it
Live from Chateau and uh that that's the song A
week Yeah.
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, that's awesome.
Speaker 3: Yeah, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 9: Well's cool too that you're you know, you're you're doing
unique things that you know trying. I mean, it's not
like you're you're just doing a concept that everybody else
is already doing, you know what.
Speaker 3: I mean, right right? Yeah, Well, I mean it's like
the thing is, like, uh, booking shows for my act
is hard, really hard. Yeah, I know, especially like I'm
not that kind of guy. I'm not really good at it.
Speaker 8: Well yeah I try, but what you're doing is unique. Yeah,
but I'm good at that. Yeah.
Speaker 3: You know, booking has been really hard for me. So
I figured, you know, I could just get to more
people online than at a club on a Monday, right,
you know, So like I'm trying to book less shows.
So right now, I got like every other month, Yeah,
I got a gig, put more effort into those instead
of a lot of little gigs. Yeah, and then put
like most of my effort into online, you know. And
I'm hoping for a good turnout tonight.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll see.
Speaker 8: No, that's a strong that's a strong lineup. And of
course Terminus is wonderful.
Speaker 3: Oh I love that place. I played their charity show
back in December.
Speaker 8: Oh, very cool. Yeah, I was gonna say, I know
you've played there, befo, how many fames have you played there?
Speaker 3: Just one? So fun?
Speaker 8: Just one other time.
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, No, I always tell everybody who hasn't been
there before. It's like when you walk into that room,
it's like walking into another world.
Speaker 3: Right right, it was. It's it's like Halloween all year round.
Speaker 9: Yeah yeah yeah. And they, you know, obviously, are doing
a lot for the scene, which is wonderful. Yeah, we
need more of that.
Speaker 3: It's nice. It's nice. It's clean in there. You know,
they don't they don't serve alcohol, so so you don't
have that environment.
Speaker 9: Well that's true too, yeah, which is good, Which is good.
And then oh I should I'm gonna for people watching online.
I'm gonna put the camera on me for a second
because I want to hold up this wonderful shirt. And
you brought one for Jenny as well, so very cool.
And Amy designed this isume. Oh you did, okay, because
I know she, I know she does that kind of stuff,
but she did.
Speaker 3: She does all my photography work. Oh right, right, okay,
So you say anytime you see anything I put up,
that's a photograph, it is from her.
Speaker 8: Oh I got you okay, and this cool sticker too.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll have these for sale tonight at the Terminus Show.
Speaker 9: I like the QR code attached to the sticker, and
that's that's cool. I don't know if I don't know
if people can see it well enough on camera, but
I'll take a picture of it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it sends, it sends people right to my
link tree. Perfect link tree has everything.
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, you know, yeah, that's excellent. Excellent.
Speaker 9: Now are you are you entirely focused on the solo well,
I mean you did mention, you know, trying to get
other people involved in it, But I mean is that
your primary focus? Are you playing in a band as
well or anything?
Speaker 3: Or no, No, I'm not playing in a band of
I'm just focused on my solo stuff. And if I
can put together a three piece that you know, that's
the ultimate goal in the end. But until then, I'm
not going to stop.
Speaker 8: Yeah. No, that's that's good.
Speaker 9: I mean, you know this gives you the way you're
doing this, It gives you total control over what you're
doing right, right, and and how you do it, and
you know you don't have to argue with band band members.
Speaker 3: And right, but everything lands on you, and your failure
or success all all lands on you.
Speaker 9: It's all your Oh something too funny that happened off air.
So in the last hour we had the Murphy Clark band,
right right. So so you were here getting ready to
come in for hour three and in the hallway you
you said to Mike Clark, you said, I recorded with
you twenty years ago.
Speaker 3: Yes, Yeah, his studio, his story is gorgeous. It's got
it's got like this like an old barn field, but
then it was all redone inside. Yeah, it's really nice.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 3: And then he's got this like almost like an apartment
in the back u for for for the band to relax,
and it's I mean when I was there twenty years ago,
you know, they had the Nintendo and a big TV.
I'm sure he's upgraded since then. I would imagine, yeah,
the new stuff, but it was all brand new, top
of the line back then.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that was a change of season.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 3: The metal band, yep, that's that's really like kind of
I think that's like a more folk centric type of
music that he studies focuses on. Yeah, you know, most
of most of his people, I think I like folk music,
so I feel like we were kind of the odds
going in there.
Speaker 8: Now, I'm curious, did he remember, like when you said
change of season, did he remember? Yeah, no, clue, Yeah,
it was twenty years ago. And plus he's had a
lot of people in it now. He sounds like he's
pretty busy there.
Speaker 3: So yeah, yeah, yeah, he's he's uh he does very
good work.
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, no, it sounds I wish I could afford him. Yeah,
you know, but uh, it is what it is.
Speaker 3: And like I said, you know, the money's not going
to stop me either.
Speaker 9: Right right.
Speaker 8: What is your recording process, because you do it all
like you're not working with a studio at all, right,
all in.
Speaker 3: It's all in house. Yeah yeah, yeah, it's just it's
on a laptop through ableton yep, you know. And uh,
you know, I got I got a real drummer for
the first time for the last album. All my other
stuff has been a drum machines, you know. So that
was really interesting. That was like that was the first
time I felt like I was actually like starting to
do something professional or not even professional, but like, yeah,
I know, I felt like I was doing real work
recording a drum set with all the mics and everything. Yeah,
but yeah, I mean my setup right now is pretty
much me at home smoking weed and playing with my
keyboard and playing with my bass and coming up with
all this weird stuff.
Speaker 8: Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 9: Do you uh in terms of these songs, so do
you have any oh you said the fall, right, do
you plan to do any videos for these?
Speaker 3: Yeah? I uh, I'm thinking about one right now, but
I usually do about two, like like like scripted videos. Yeah,
because our albums.
Speaker 8: The last album I remember you had a video for
Brian yeah.
Speaker 3: Right, and the End of Time I did. I did
as well, right right, and that that featured Gary Smith.
Mister Gary Smith the hardest working musician in New Hampshire.
Speaker 8: I say that all the time because his name comes
up constantly on the show. I always say, yeah, he's
the busiest musician I know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, he's he's he's like in seven bands and
uh then he does all his like other stuff like
studio work and whatnot. Yep, yep, oh, man, I don't
know how he does it. He's everywhere.
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, he really is.
Speaker 3: But he was he he came up to my house
like he recorded. He sent everything over over the internet.
But when it came time to do the video, he
came to my house. Yeah, and that was the first
time we met in person. I asked him to climb
up into my attic through a little hole, right, So
the whole video is filmed in the attic with these old,
like square nails sticking out out of the ceiling right
in the head. Yeah, and he did it. He went
up there and like a champ. Yeah, and uh we
filmed that video. So that video is awesome. Yeah, I
think I think it's one of my best videos.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 3: And then we did Grind with my wife and that
was like a whole cast of characters on that one.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 8: Yeah, So you plan on doing more?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, new material. I have no idea what
I'm gonna do yet, but I've been like, I've been
tossing ideas around.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 3: You know, I'm only like halfway through the writing process,
so I get a little ways to go.
Speaker 8: Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 9: It's funny how sometimes some people who are not I
don't know, social media savvy or whatever, some people have
this perception that that music videos are like a dead medium,
you know what I mean, Right, Because MTV obviously hasn't
for a couple of decades now, really been.
Speaker 3: But really still making them.
Speaker 8: And there's more more videos than ever really, right, they're.
Speaker 3: Still pomping money and do these big videos millions of dollars,
so they must be doing something.
Speaker 9: Yeah, and the technology is advanced now where you know,
anybody can do it.
Speaker 3: And the new U what is it the vo three
or whatever is the Google? The new Google? Oh ay
that making making the sasquash of logs and all them.
Oh my god, they're so good. Yeah, all these things.
It's it's blowing my mind.
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's a lot to keep up with.
Speaker 3: I can't do it, you know what. I'm actually like,
I'm trying to, like uh uh uh do everything as
practical as possible lately, you know, like like I don't
care if it looks cheesy. That's almost the point. Sure, sure,
you know, uh man, because it's scary because you can
make like beautiful, polished videos now with with just prompts.
Oh yeah, oh yeah, you just tell it what you
want and I'll do it.
Speaker 8: Same with music.
Speaker 9: We're actually we're talking about that with the Murphy Clark
guys like Souno dot com and these we've done it
live on the show. Is just an experiment and the
stuff it spits out is really good.
Speaker 3: I've I've used I've used it to separate tracks from
old recordings of mine so that I can perform on
live No kidding, right right, I've done that. Like uh
Me and Huey the Gecko put out an album a
few years ago called Pink Chicken, and yeah, I wanted
to do some stuff off of that with him, but
I didn't have anything.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I didn't like like that.
Speaker 3: That was a lot of sending back and forth, and
he's like, so he had most of uh uh, like
the drums and stuff. I didn't have any of it.
So so I used a eye to separate it all
and it worked, No kidding. It blows my mind, but
I mean, uh I U. I use it to like
describe my videos online.
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know.
Speaker 3: It just it gets you through all the writing process instantly.
I don't mind that, Yeah, I don't mind. I use
it a little bit to help me design for flyers.
Uh and that's about it. Yeah, you know, but I
do use it.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's scary how like how it can write hit
songs and pop songs and they sound so good. I know,
it's just putting everybody out of business.
Speaker 9: Some of the things that Suno has generated actually get
stuck in my head and it's like, oh.
Speaker 3: No, because it's got an algorithm for you.
Speaker 9: Yeah, exactly exactly, it's it's it's incredible. Of course, the
sharks are already circling on that too, like Suno and Udio.
There's a lot of people who want to see those
go away. But I don't think you can put that
genie back.
Speaker 3: No, No, it's it's out there. It's like Napster.
Speaker 9: You can't stop right right, Yeah, you got to adapt,
and you know, the music industry figure out how.
Speaker 3: To you know, after after Napster, everybody I learned that,
all the all the artists learned that if you just
give your music away, you can put the butts in
the seats and I sell the tickets, and that's how
that's how they got to make money moving forward.
Speaker 9: Right right, which was really kind of the business model anyway.
Just I mean, you always made more money, you know,
big big By.
Speaker 3: The artists never made money off the album exactly. It
was always off merch and seats at the shows.
Speaker 9: Oh yeah, exactly. I remember when I was a kid
reading this was when I first kind of realized this.
I was reading an inter you with meat Loaf and
he was talking about how, you know, people think that
people assume that bad Out of Hell, which sold you know,
how many ever gazillion copies, made him rich.
Speaker 8: And he's like, no, right, yeah, yeah, I mean that's
what he said.
Speaker 9: That and touring and he said he's the said he
made he would get something like a quarter, like like
literally twenty five cents per unit right for for albums sold.
Speaker 16: You know.
Speaker 8: It's like it kind of opened my eyes. So so
that's how that works.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, the record company get recoups all that money yep, yep,
you know, forever, and they make you a big name
for that. You can make your own money somewhere else.
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, which is that there's value in that, right,
But but yeah, it's a it's an interesting time to
be alive, that's for sure.
Speaker 8: That's for sure. So you now, do you know when
your next show is? After after the show tonight or you?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 8: Just kind of okay.
Speaker 3: So so I got like three more shows after this.
I got August twentieth, the sand Down Farmers Market, yeah,
play in the apartments market, and August thirtieth, I am
playing the Keen Music Festival.
Speaker 8: Oh, very cool.
Speaker 3: I'm excited about that. I've I've been trying for like
three years now, and so I got in this year.
Speaker 5: Nice.
Speaker 4: Good.
Speaker 3: And then October twenty fifth, I'm playing Grafton Palooza.
Speaker 8: Okay, which is a new festival show. Oh that's new okay.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, but you know it seems like he's gathering
up a bunch of names. So yeah, sweet, excited for
that one as well. I'm excited.
Speaker 8: No, that's good. That's good. Yeah, because you mentioned it,
it's hard to find find venues to play, right, Yeah,
I would. I would think you'd be kind of a dream.
Speaker 9: A dream performer for a lot of venues because you're
because you are self contained, right, right?
Speaker 8: Is it that they just don't get it? They just
don't get what you're doing.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 4: I have no idea.
Speaker 3: Like, honestly, if I knew what it was, then i'd
be able to.
Speaker 9: Fix it, because I'm sure that happens too, especially if
you're dealing with somebody who maybe as a club owner,
but they're you know, maybe they're.
Speaker 3: Just they just don't get it.
Speaker 8: They're just older and they don't you know, you explained
to them.
Speaker 3: Most solo guys have a guitar, or exactly most most
of the time they have an acoustic guitar.
Speaker 8: Mm hmm, yeah exactly. So you tell them or you
show them what you're doing, and they're like.
Speaker 3: Right, when I decided I was going to start doing this,
I wanted to be different. Everybody out there goes out
of your guests that play music, they play on acoustic guitar.
And anytime you have somebody like like ce Bbie when
she came in on a keyboard or an electric guitar,
or if I see a bass player come into your show,
I'm on it.
Speaker 8: Yep.
Speaker 3: But you know a lot of times when once the
acoustics starts strumming, I'm I'm I'm out.
Speaker 8: Yeah a little bit, you know, you know what you're getting. Yeah, yeah, yeah, so.
Speaker 3: I'm you know, I wanted to I wanted to be
something different that I enjoyed. I wanted to see someone
do No.
Speaker 8: I love it. I love it. I think it's awesome
than you do.
Speaker 9: You get people who when you when you do play live,
like do people come up to you afterward and they're
like kind of surprised, like like does it end up
being something different than what they were expecting maybe.
Speaker 3: Or yeah, I mean if there's people there, like I've
played the empty houses before, you know, and you just
play it like a practice.
Speaker 8: Sure, yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I usually get really really good reception yeah, from people
to play live because they've never seen anything like.
Speaker 8: It, right exactly?
Speaker 9: Yeah, who, like, is there somebody out there who does
something even remotely close to what you do that you
can think of, or.
Speaker 3: There's a bunch of busking people like, oh yeah, you
use like like pedals, use a loop stations?
Speaker 8: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, I've seen that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but that's that's about it. I haven't really seen
any like that I know of that I can think
about the top of my head bass players that do
anything like this.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 9: I was curious partly because I wondered if if there
was someone you kind of tried to pattern your process after.
Speaker 3: Or like it stole from everybody? Yeah, a little bit
from everybody.
Speaker 8: Yeah No, but you've.
Speaker 9: Made it your own and it's it's really unique. So
I think that's I think that's amazing everything that you've recorded,
because you have recorded all the time goes so quick,
but you have recorded a lot of music.
Speaker 3: Is it all seven albums I've put out and.
Speaker 8: It's all online, it's all it's all in band camp,
it's everywhere.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, the old disttro Kid they give it to everybody.
