the end of it. It sounds so good. Twenty five we
have here on Matt Connorton Unleashed. We've got October Suns
here with us, live in studio, and it's wonderful to

Speaker 1: Us, uh genetics. My dad has really good skin and
clean living, no drugs, no alcohol, massive amounts of caffeine.

uh so we have who was in the band originally
because it wasn't it was was it all?
Speaker 4: It was?
Speaker 1: It was all four of you originally.
Speaker 2: So Jason christ and I started and we were we
always knew Day was going to be there, but he
was off doing some acting stuff. Yeah, we just played
as a trio until he got back. Yeah.
Speaker 13: And what's crazy We were just talking about this yesterday's
I don't think we've played a show the four of
Us since like two well not not a full real
October Sun show the four of Us, it's two thousand
and three.
Speaker 4: Had some shows, you know, Dave's jump jumped up with us,
and we've had some other shows. Kurt wasn't there, you know,
So this is the first time I think this is
the four of us in a long time.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 13: Yeah, Wow, It is pretty wild that we can just
like get together and it's like it's still still kind
of there. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so no, you gotta sound great, like I said,
I mean, you know, the harmonies are tight, and uh
so have you had a chance, like have the four
of you rehearsed for tonight.
Speaker 4: Or Thursday night?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, like a lot or or or does it
all just kind of come back.
Speaker 4: We've all been kind of working on stuff. You know.
Speaker 13: So the show we're back in June is when when
we kind of booked this and we're all right, we're
doing this, so everyone kind of on their own, what's
kind of brushing up on stuff, and then Jason and
I got together a few times and then Jason, me, Jason,
Kurt and then Dave kind of we were all ready
kind of one with the four of us got together,
you know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, back in the day we played these songs.
We played them a lot. Yeah. I think we're well
and great.
Speaker 4: They're in our DNA.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's like riding a bike. It's uh a
little bit, yeah, because you yeah, I remember, like you guys.
Speaker 2: Played a lot of shows back again back and then
we were so busy.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, so when was so when was the last
time you guys played a show together prior to the
one You're like what was the most recent show that
you guys did together.
Speaker 4: Well, we did.
Speaker 13: We did something in twenty fifteen, you did it was
like kind of a full Octobers and show, but Kurt
wasn't around for that one, or I think you jumped
up for a few songs.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like that late.
Speaker 13: So it was the four of us really, but yeah,
so and then we did when in twenty seventeen too,
I think so.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we did a couple of market days, a couple
of market days.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 2: The other thing I would like to note too, which
is awesome about this show is that after Dave left,
we were doing probably more covers than original songs, and
now that Dave is here, we're doing probably mostly almost
all originals.
Speaker 4: Yeah, oh that's cool.
Speaker 13: We're playing pretty much everything we ever recorded, and yeah,
it's gonna be most mostly all originals and any covers
that we do play and stuff we just really want
to play, or that anyone begs us to play.
Speaker 1: Right right? That track that we played twenty five when
was that done originally?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 13: Okay, yep, Paint the Town October is our second CD.
Speaker 4: There, and yeah, so is that one?
Speaker 1: Okay?
Speaker 2: Okay?
Speaker 4: That was two thousand and one.
Speaker 2: Two thousand.
Speaker 1: Now, what what is everybody doing away from October Sun?
So obviously, Dave, you have Satellite Union, which which I love.
I don't know if you even heard it because you
guys were setting up. But uh, at the end of
the last segment, I put on like a War. I
still love that song, and it's and it's mud and
it's only increased in relevance, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: We've got another one we're playing tonight and putting on
our next album, like, oh, okay, same theme, a little
bit more come on people.
Speaker 1: Right right? Oh, very cool, very cool. So so Satellite Union,
you're still doing a lot with that, right And then
do you have anything else going musically in Chicago or no?
Speaker 4: Just kind of writing and performing with them?
Speaker 1: Yeah, And Chris, you do a lot of solo stuff, right.
Speaker 13: Yeah, primarily just solo stuff now. So I'm just you know,
out playing restaurants and bars and all the millions of
breweries that we have. Yeah, great and uh but yeah,
and I feel like it's changed a little bit in
terms of, like, you know, I could play a ton
of originals at that at those kind of kind of
gigs still and get away with it.
Speaker 4: So yeah, so it's good.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Do you play any of the October Sun's songs?
Speaker 4: It's funny, not really, not really.
Speaker 13: And and then as we've been kind of getting back
into it, I'm like I've kind of mixing them back
in a little bit and kind of rediscovering them.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 13: But yeah, it's kind of like a these songs were
kind of like another era just kind of like put
it down.
Speaker 4: And moved on.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: You know, there's a couple that I think we always
regularly play.
Speaker 2: Actually find ironic the song twenty five because you're talking
about well, now.
Speaker 4: We're not right, it's a quarter life crisis. I wish
we were still in a quarter life crisis.
Speaker 2: Songs that you wrote, you know, yeah, twenty five years ago, right.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, ten lifetimes ago.
Speaker 2: Right Yeah.
Speaker 1: Now what about you, Kurt?
Speaker 2: What what do you have music? Like? A couple of
couple of different bands.
Speaker 1: Of course you do. You're a drummer.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: This is a consistent theme on the show. Every drummer
we talked to is in like ten different bands.
Speaker 2: I'm getting, well, you're you're being humble.
Speaker 1: You're in You're in ten bands, aren't you?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 2: No, No, It's like it's like two different ones.
Speaker 1: Okay, except for the secret ones.
Speaker 2: You're not you're a drummer, I will take I will
take random, you know, like drummer. Hey, are you busy
this night or whatever?
Speaker 12: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, why what what are the bands that you're playing?
Speaker 2: One of them is buzz Blocks have been playing with
oh yeah, yeah, with Joe Perrow. Yeah, I've been been.
You know, we've filled each other since we're like sixteen,
and so it's off and on and then.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 2: The other one is five piece cover band called Neilon Rodeo,
So we do a lot of rock and country covers
and that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1: And yeah, yeah, Joe's been on the show a couple
of times with his band, uh stand Upon You Santa Paudio. Yeah,
Jenny and I went to see them and they were
they were incredible.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: I tell people, you know, when I uh, when I
knew Joe when we were teenagers, he had gray hair.
Speaker 14: Like.
Speaker 2: In his twenties.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was no, he had gray hair when we
were in high school. Dude, even earlier it was wild.
Speaker 2: I remember it was black when I when it was sixteen.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, but he was yeah, he's he's uh so fuzzbox.
Tom Serabia wasn't fuzzy, he was he was.
Speaker 2: In for a bit and uh, and so he's actually
been playing a little bit with his son doing a band.
Speaker 1: Oh I didn't realize that. Oh that's cool, Oh very cool.
Yeah yeah, and uh, Jason, what have you been doing?
Speaker 15: I turned to the dark side about five years ago,
became mostly a bass player.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, yeah, well well from another dark side.
Speaker 15: Went from bass to being a frontman guitar player, from
being a guitar player to being.
Speaker 4: A bass player.
Speaker 15: But I'm mostly working in a band called Miles to
Memphis and and they'll actually be joining us tonight as
well at Panucci Cool short set.

Speaker 15: It's similar to like Neon Roadude, a lot of a
lot of modern country and just good classic rock.

want to play another song I love?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: If you are just joining us, we have October Sons

Speaker 6: You see how call on.
Speaker 17: Me install han see try some dogs master seven man.
Speaker 1: M hmm, amazing, amazing. October Sun's here with us alive
in studio on this Saturday morning. I can't get over
those harmonies? Is that the hardest thing to work out
when you're rehearsing? Or does it? Does even that just
kind of come?
Speaker 13: Is it?
Speaker 2: Muscle find rolls with it? So we're kind of go
where we all sit?
Speaker 15: Yeah, Chris, I think Chris and Dave naturally sing harmony together,
you know, very instinctively.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 15: I need to like write apart and figure it out
and played on the guitar and like memorize it because
I don't have the air force really.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Kurt tells me what the things?
Speaker 4: I think. Kurt usually tells me what the thing?
Speaker 6: Now?
Speaker 1: Do you guys have any plans to record anything new?
I mean, obviously you know you're not all together geographically
on a consistent basis. But we live in an era
where you can, you know, it's easier than ever to
kind of you know, send files back and forth.
Speaker 2: And I've actually been doing some home recording and Jason
does some home recordings. Really we've been passing some stuff around.
But yeah, everybody's just gonna line up the schedules.
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, it's kind of no excuse. Probably not like
it would.
Speaker 2: Be fun to do it. I mean it really doesn't.
You know, the technology just look a thousand times different
than it was when we did those things. Oh yeah,
oh yeah, I mean even then, you know, the technology
was different. But the guy that recorded as Markle of
Role was using a two inch tape, which is kind
of old school, which is was kind of fun. But
at the same time, like we can easily pass files
around it.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's easier than ever. Not to put you
on the spot.
Speaker 4: Yeah no, no, something we've been talking about for a
long time. Yeah, it's funny.
Speaker 13: We were joking saying that, like we fell between like
the period between like really difficult technology and really easy technology. Right,
So tell everybody tonight, like pull out your phones and
take some video, because there's no video that exists.
Speaker 4: We predate YouTube.
Speaker 15: Yeah, yeah, yeah, thats how people promote it and we
almost know actually predate most social media.
Speaker 4: We had a Facebook page.
Speaker 1: Well, actually, if you had a MySpace page, you still do?
Speaker 2: You know that, right?
Speaker 1: Like you can't get MySpace page is like roaches. You can't.
You can't kill it, like like people try to. I've
even tried. Like if you go on MySpace and find
like an old page of yours, there's no way to
deactivate it. There literally is not. It will exist forever. Yeah,
or like if you have anything embarrassing on MySpace from
back in the day, it's still there. So but yeah, no,
it'd be great here some new some new stuff from
you guys. Is anyone recording the show tonight, like recording
the audio of it or anything.
Speaker 4: I'm trying to work out a way to do it.
Speaker 15: I've get the technology, but I'm also bringing a lot
of other equipment on the sound guy and the bass tech,
the guitar.
Speaker 4: So the last thing I'm gonna be doing just plug
in a computer.
Speaker 2: Right right, but as possible.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, very cool, very cool. Do you guys have
anything You probably haven't written anything new, right because you
haven't really been together.
Speaker 2: They they've sent me there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's one song that kind of fell out of
my head. Has a lot to do with New Hampshire
and I was a lot with these guys. So I
will one day record it and hopefully with these guys.
Speaker 1: Oh cool, very cool, Yeah, yeah, excellent.
Speaker 2: Chris is always good, always good.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's just a matter of focusing on it and
you know.
Speaker 6: Right right right.
Speaker 2: So I don't know if you could ever like probably
just always. You never get rid of it. It doesn't
go away.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like a good idea, you'll you'll remember it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it comes and goes Sometimes it feels like it
goes away. Where are you today, I've got ten minutes?
Speaker 1: Well where does the name come from? By the way,
October Suns. I think I remember, but I'm not sure.
Speaker 4: So yeah, that's a good question. So I don't know.
Speaker 13: Like when the band was first coming together, I just
you know, New Hampshire Fall, it was like, you know,
most awesome time of year, and just wanted that kind
of imagery in my That's why I wanted that.
Speaker 4: So I just had a first settle on October. Yeah,
we need something with October in it. And then we
couldn't come up with anything.
Speaker 13: And then it was actually my brother Chuck, my older brother,
who I was like, man, we can't think of a
name where we got all these names, you know, yeah,
And one day he he called me.
Speaker 4: I was like, I got it. October Suns. It's like,
no way. And I told these guys and we're like, yeah,
that's that's the best of all the crop that we have.
Speaker 2: So yeah, we do have to you know, because we
r Yeah, and then that thing you do, it's not
the right right.
Speaker 4: Literally, everyone's like, well, you guys are all born in October.
That's awesome. It's like, actually none of us are, none
of us.
Speaker 1: We love Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's funny.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I I think that.
Speaker 1: I so I was wrong because I was thinking you
were all born in October.
Speaker 4: Just tell everyone, that would be a good thing.
Speaker 1: You just said, just tell people, yeah, we're all born.
It's like faith that we all met and formed a band.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Now, how long of a set are you play tonight?
Speaker 2: Are you are you doing like we have two sets?
Speaker 4: Probably two sets probably close to you know, a couple
of hours, okay, you know, okay, and literally are playing
every original we have and then you know, yeah, just
select covers.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then and then how long is Satellite Union plan?
Speaker 4: We'll see.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm gonna play by.
Speaker 4: Ear now we're starting the show. We might come back.
Who knows?
Speaker 1: Is it the full band?
Speaker 4: Ah? Yeah, they're all coming out.
Speaker 1: That's really cool. That's awesome that that they were able
to work that out and do that.
Speaker 4: I know, I think they like me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it sounds like, yeah, yeah, have they been to
New Like, have you like a Satellite Union played New Hampshire?
Speaker 13: No?
Speaker 4: Never, the drummers from New Jersey, so he's the other
East Coaster. And then oh, okay they're Midwesterners.
Speaker 1: So yeah, are you guys playing a lot Satellite Union?
Speaker 4: We've always been once a month. You know.
Speaker 3: It's kind of like, we don't want to overstay, are welcome.
We want our crowds to come out, and now that
our crowds are basically over fifty, it's hard to get
them out. But yeah, so we do once a month,
and we're really fine with that. We're going to focus
on a new album and just keep doing what we're doing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, excellent, excellent. Why now Panucci's I think Dave
you had said in a Facebook post something about Panucci's
a special toy. It sounds like it is.
Speaker 3: Because we when we were cutting our teeth and trying
to figure out what our sound was, we were doing
open mics down there every now and then, and then
I think our first shows were down there, and my
very last show was August.
Speaker 1: Okay, your last show before moving. Okay.
Speaker 3: So she lived across the street and I lived across
the street, for got a lot of nights.
Speaker 1: So it really all started there for you, for you,
for you. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Actually my first ever playing gig ever as the drummer
was thumbs thumbs.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, I forgot about that.
Speaker 2: It's it's kind of our it's our cavern club. Yeah, yeah,
literally a great way.
Speaker 13: Yeah, we used to play the open mic eve before
Dave came on board. We were playing the open mic
there every Sunday.
Speaker 4: The Steve Nail, the famous Steve Naylor open mic. So yeah,
we go way back.
Speaker 1: Who was Steve Naylor?
Speaker 15: I don't I don't recognize that he he hosted the
open mic, played around for ye.
Speaker 4: Cool different bass player. He moved over to the Barley House.
Speaker 1: Yeah, is is he still around Steve?
Speaker 6: Now? Yeah?
Speaker 2: I actually ran into him.
Speaker 15: He played on the market aage stage not this past summer,
but before so, yeah, it was.
Speaker 2: It was nice to catch up with him.
Speaker 4: Been a long time. He always wore good hats.
Speaker 2: I learned all my Beatles trivia.
Speaker 1: Huh yeah, I never even met this guy. We'll have
to get him on. He sounds interesting, Steve Naylor, Do
you guys wanna? Do you want to play one more
before we?
Speaker 4: Uh we know anything else?
Speaker 2: I think we know?
Speaker 4: Do of yours? What should we do?
Speaker 10: Bro?
Speaker 2: I kind of put you on the spot.
Speaker 4: Yeah, let's attention. When I do attention.
Speaker 1: If he was a jooning us, we have October Suns
live in studio on this Saturday morning.
Speaker 6: Yeah, there we go.
Speaker 4: Capos. All right, that's what's called atention.
Speaker 14: Ready, It's when the day he starts rending me speechless,
that's when that turned to you.
Speaker 6: And the side of the.
Speaker 17: Him ram book, you will road and the bill were
touched the page. And it's not the way your words
flow from there and grabs or them pageches to the
pageches the pictures that sets you.
Speaker 6: It's the way you you hard mind down the hill away.
Speaker 4: You do things so well.
Speaker 14: And with each pay Jim turn unto the calm.
Speaker 6: Up, lifting words.
Speaker 14: Carping made through.
Speaker 18: And with each cul close novo and there's enother on
the shelf. And it's not the way the stories that flow.
Speaker 6: Into the.
Speaker 14: Wo hown next o kim.
Speaker 6: Bass them down.
Speaker 16: It's no way you you hold myan t.
Speaker 6: You you do the things so well.
Speaker 16: It's no way you you hold myan tawn with.
Speaker 6: You you do think so well.
Speaker 14: And when this talk again, it pushes me into corners
and pushes me around.
Speaker 4: Oh that's when answer.
Speaker 14: To allest things you tell me.
Speaker 6: About ride and room. Not way that I watch you
from far. Oh, it's the way that the way that
I still do.
Speaker 16: It's the way you hard by say si, way you
you do things so well. It's the way you you
hold by its side now way you you do things
so well so well?
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, h m hmm.
Speaker 2: I'm always terrified of that rip at the end.
Speaker 4: I was in a base player.
Speaker 15: These days, my fingers don't have to work that fast
right rightly. And I'm sitting here, you know, a fifty
one year old guy trying to learn stuff that a
really ambitious twenty six year old guitar player recorded.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh that's funny.
Speaker 2: That's funny.
Speaker 1: If you are just doing us. We have October suns
here with us live and studio. These guys are playing
tonight at Panucci's and Conquered with a satellite Union and
miles to Memphis, and uh, that's you probably expecting a
lot of people, right, it's home, kind of a hometown homecoming.
Should be a lot.
Speaker 4: Of chatter, a lot of likes out there, so hopefully.
Speaker 1: It should be a good night. I would think you yeah, yeah,
very good. Yeah, you guys sound you guys sound incredible.
Speaker 4: You don't.
Speaker 1: You don't sound like a band that doesn't spend a
lot of time together. You know, you sound like a
band that's you know, tight, and but you know, like
like you were saying, it's kind of a muscle memory
thing with these songs, right.
Speaker 11: You know.
Speaker 7: And it's rare that we have four singers harmonize it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true too. Yeah, and that that.
Speaker 5: Really adds such as I think that's so cool to
listen to your harmonies.
Speaker 15: That's kind of what separated us from a lot of
the other bands at the time. Well, actually the fact
that we had four part harmonies. Three of us were songwriters,
but also we weren't a jam band, and almost all
the other bands were jam bands at the time.
Speaker 2: We were songwriters.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, oh yeah, conquered at that time, jam bands everywhere,
and some really good ones friends with those cats, yes,
of course.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 13: We were one of the only real rock bands, I think,
And I think that's what might make tonight kind of unique,
I think, because yeah, I think we're still only one
of the only ones.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, yeah, and and and a legit just
rock band, not a metal band, not a hard rock band,
but just here's rock and roll?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, is it because of that just being that?
Speaker 2: Is it?
Speaker 1: If any of you ever found it hard to describe
your music to people, because it's almost like if you're
if you're something more specialized, so to speak, instead of
just a straight aed rock and roll band, it's it's
kind of that creates a challenge trying.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I always have a hard time with that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what do you play?
Speaker 2: Rock?
Speaker 4: Yeah, alternative rock somebody of the early nineties all rock.
Speaker 2: Somebody told me once that reminded of like Totally White's
Rocket or something.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we get, we get, what do we get? We get?
Speaker 1: You get r E M I bet right, and we get.
Speaker 15: But we're definitely all influenced by Yeah, yeah, say what's
the band?
Speaker 4: Why can I think of it? I saw them with
toad yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: We used to hear that of it.
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, Which when I hear Jim Blossoms, I don't
get I don't know.
Speaker 1: Okay, good, I love I get the comparison. But I
think what you guys do is more sophisticated than Jim Blossoms.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, thank you.
Speaker 1: I don't think they have the harmonies, certainly.
Speaker 7: Know your vocals definitely make you unique.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's wonderful to hear.
