00:00:09,759 --> 00:00:11,800
Speaker 1: We asked, Legion of Solace. Yes they are.

7
00:00:12,199 --> 00:00:17,760
Speaker 4: They are, which very much says support local music, and

8
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:21,879
I love it and it has this beautiful phoenix on it. Yes,

9
00:00:22,039 --> 00:00:25,120
so it's it's like dually awesome of a T shirt.

10
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:29,199
Speaker 1: And uh, Bruce, I'll let you introduce your your comrades.

Speaker 3: Rebecca welcome, thank you. Yeah.

16
00:00:40,079 --> 00:00:42,119
Speaker 1: Well, let me turn that mic up a little bit. Yeah,

17
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:44,119
that Mike, that's my least favorite mic in the room.

18
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 3: You notice that that one's the one that gives us.

19
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 1: If there's one that gives us trouble, it's always that one.

20
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 4: Say hi to me so I can see if you're

21
00:00:51,679 --> 00:00:53,200

22
00:00:53,679 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: That's that's good. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I just got to

23
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:56,240
talk right into it.

24
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:56,439
Speaker 3: Yeah.

25
00:00:56,479 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 1: These mics are very very unidirectional. Uh so, yeah, so welcome.

26
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:02,880
So for the uninitiated, for those who don't know what

27
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:05,359
is Legion of Solace, because and I think I even

28
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:07,519
might have said this, you bers, when I first heard

29
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:09,680
the name Legion of Solace, I assumed it was a band.

30
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,359
Speaker 3: A lot of people do. Yeah, yeah, I'm not gonna

31
00:01:12,359 --> 00:01:14,640
even lie to you. A lot of people do. So

32
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:16,280
what is Legion of Solace? Exactly?

33
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 5: Well, the founder Tuesday, she shout out to Tuesday. She's

34
00:01:21,359 --> 00:01:23,799
thinks she's watching right now, sutt to Tuesday. She's our

35
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:27,079
founder and we're the co founders. But also Legion of Solace.

36
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,519
That what we do is to help promote anything in everything

37
00:01:29,519 --> 00:01:32,439
we can put our helping hand into, Okay, whether it's

38
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:36,920
a band, a venue, or anything else beneficial wise that

39
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:41,040
will help better the community, whether it's music wise, benu

40
00:01:41,079 --> 00:01:44,760
wise that says helping that helps the music world to

41
00:01:45,519 --> 00:01:49,000
anybody who is backing and trying to have more local

00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:52,519
and up and coming bands shows, that's.

43
00:01:52,359 --> 00:01:53,719
Speaker 3: What we're for, okay.

44
00:01:54,319 --> 00:01:57,439
Speaker 5: And we're trying to eventually get to the point where

45
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,959
we be like a big hub of like, hey, well

46
00:02:01,079 --> 00:02:03,680
we had a show that didn't it fell through? You know,

47
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:05,359
is there anything that we can pick up along the

48
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,799
way we're going to be traveling through Virginia here and

49
00:02:07,879 --> 00:02:10,039
such a well, yes, let me call such such such

50
00:02:10,039 --> 00:02:12,400
such a this venue and we'll try to light something up,

51
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,120
you know, or just even like I said, we we

52
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,960
sponsored No Boy too back called No Boy and we

53
00:02:19,039 --> 00:02:21,639
followed them on their mission of going to glory, you know,

54
00:02:21,759 --> 00:02:24,400
and helping promote them like on the radio shows that

55
00:02:24,439 --> 00:02:26,840
we have. Dark Mistress has a radio show and I

56
00:02:26,879 --> 00:02:30,800
have a radio show Quarantine Malaca that we do music

57
00:02:30,879 --> 00:02:33,960
videos and have anybody come in mind is more requests

58
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:35,879
form you would come in.

59
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,039
Speaker 3: And we'll just have fun and feel the vibe of

60
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:39,400
the room for the day. Yeah.

61
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 1: So now the how how long have all three of

62
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,560
you been involved in Legion of Solas?

63
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 2: Malcolm and Rebecca were involved before I was.

64
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 3: Oh okay.

65
00:02:53,879 --> 00:02:56,639
Speaker 6: It started as more of like a social club mosh

66
00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:01,120
pit team, and in two thousand twenty one we moved

67
00:03:01,159 --> 00:03:04,400
into the realm of event sponsorship with Blue Ridge Rock

68
00:03:04,439 --> 00:03:08,360
Festival that year's iteration okay, And after the event, we

69
00:03:08,439 --> 00:03:13,280
decided to move from event sponsorship directly into involvement with

70
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:17,199
the smaller bands just because of we're not going in

71
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,159
when we're not going into too many details, just some

72
00:03:20,199 --> 00:03:22,240
of the things we saw that we thought we could

73
00:03:22,719 --> 00:03:27,520
change and handle better. Yeah, direct relationships and that that's.

74
00:03:27,319 --> 00:03:28,719
Speaker 2: Worked out quite well for us.

75
00:03:28,759 --> 00:03:35,319
Speaker 6: We actually this September celebrated three years converting to a

76
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:42,639
more involved entity in the music scene, and it's worked

77
00:03:42,639 --> 00:03:45,680
out really well. We call ourselves full service. We can

78
00:03:45,759 --> 00:03:48,599
do everything but book the show itself. But like we

79
00:03:48,639 --> 00:03:52,479
even catered the pre party last night. When we're not

80
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,759
doing this, I cook for a living. Malcolm also cooks

81
00:03:54,759 --> 00:03:56,240
for a living, So when you put us both in

82
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,039
the same room, it's like a chop challenge working.

83
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:03,319
Speaker 5: Yeah, And plus we just wanted to kind of find

84
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,840
some way to up the annie of what we did

85
00:04:06,919 --> 00:04:09,680
last year of just coming over and hanging out and

86
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,199
just being a presence. We were trying to be involved

87
00:04:12,199 --> 00:04:14,639
as much as possibly can. And like I said, you know,

88
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,839
when we say we come at you full service, it's

89
00:04:17,879 --> 00:04:20,839
even to the point where I'm an ordained minister, like

90
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,839
I can literally marry in every state of Virginia.

91
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 1: Would you be performing any wedding tonight at Swermyfest.

92
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,319
Speaker 5: I mean, I can throw one down for you real quickly,

93
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:31,879
no problem, it needs to be done. It needs to

94
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:33,879
be done. I'm there for the service of it as

95
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:37,120
well as we need more. We're trying to change it

96
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,360
up in the world more now, you know, like we

97
00:04:39,399 --> 00:04:40,879
need more different ways of doing it instead of like,

98
00:04:40,879 --> 00:04:44,040
don't get me twisted. Traditional weddings are beautiful, it's very

99
00:04:44,079 --> 00:04:47,040
eclectic and everything else like that, But what why can't

100
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,439
we be more you know, unique. So if you're a

101
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,079
metal hit and you don't want to go to the

102
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,079
traditional ways, come find me.

103
00:04:53,439 --> 00:04:55,519
Speaker 3: Yeah, because I'm a metal hit too. I love metal hit.

104
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:56,519
I don't care, I'll sing it.

105
00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:02,519
Speaker 5: You're comes sobody, you know, whatever gets it done. The

106
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,120
whole point about it is is just we're here at

107
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,800
full service for the music because we love music.

108
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 3: I come from both sides of the spectrum.

109
00:05:09,879 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 5: I used to be in a well known band that's

110
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:15,399
been around Lensburg, Virginia for over twenty years. But even

111
00:05:15,759 --> 00:05:18,360
me growing up following that band before I joined them,

112
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:20,839
and they were called hateful Bones. You see what I'm saying.

113
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,639
And so I know the whole thing, like all of

114
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,360
what Will is preaching the same thing. The Will was

115
00:05:26,399 --> 00:05:28,040
preaching about trying to be there for the music and

116
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,879
helping there. That's my band down did the same thing

117
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,240
down where we were at, like we were even getting

118
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,680
peeped trying to help get people even to go on

119
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,560
to Blue Red Rock Festival when we want our showcase

120
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:40,839
of going to do in the after show at Blue

121
00:05:40,879 --> 00:05:43,079
Red Rock Festival. So you see what I'm saying, Like

122
00:05:43,319 --> 00:05:46,079
me following that band is what it eventually got me to.

123
00:05:46,079 --> 00:05:48,560
Where I'm at now is where I want to be

124
00:05:48,879 --> 00:05:52,560
a pretty much hub like you or a spot where

125
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,360
you can come and put your music at where you

126
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,600
can spend your blood, sweat and tears into it. You

127
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:58,759
don't have to sit there and go through the cesspool

128
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,120
that is the music indust have it done, because I mean,

129
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,800
if you think about it, legitly, it's here.

130
00:06:04,959 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 3: That's what it is. It's successful.

131
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,079
Speaker 5: I mean, it's just poison after poison, have to poison.

132
00:06:10,759 --> 00:06:13,399
So I mean, the better make it easier for everybody

133
00:06:13,399 --> 00:06:15,360
as well as the more people who help share it.

134
00:06:15,439 --> 00:06:18,319
And not only not so you're amusing being heard, but

135
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,279
it helps us to push more across, whether it be

136
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:25,439
America or internationally, because that's what our initial goal is.

137
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:26,839
We want to be able to be hit up from

138
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:30,759
people and you know, Australia, you know it les you

139
00:06:30,759 --> 00:06:32,600
know what I'm saying, England and be like hey, we're

140
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,240
coming to America and you know this gig fell through.

141
00:06:35,879 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 3: Can you hook us up? Yeah?

142
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:40,079
Speaker 5: But if not already have our own you know, eventually

143
00:06:40,079 --> 00:06:43,360
in due time land space property where we can throw

144
00:06:43,399 --> 00:06:46,639
on our own leaders and solves of it. And it's

145
00:06:46,639 --> 00:06:49,439
not paid to play. It's you come in and you

146
00:06:49,519 --> 00:06:52,680
get paid and you play. You see what I'm saying, Like,

147
00:06:53,079 --> 00:06:56,439
not you paying and sell tickets? I mean yes, obviously, yes,

148
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,399
we want you to promote and try to help push

149
00:06:58,399 --> 00:06:58,879
to where.

150
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:00,959
Speaker 3: Some of your people will buy tickets. But it's not

151
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:01,920
going to be a guarantee.

152
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:03,199
Speaker 5: Like how you got to go play on these big

153
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,519
festivals and like Sonic Temple whatever. You know what I'm saying,

154
00:07:06,519 --> 00:07:08,199
like you gotta you gotta go out there and put

155
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,199
in some extra work to do so.

156
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 3: But we don't want that.

157
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 5: We want you to be able to come in and

158
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,480
have as much fun as you can, enjoy the full experience,

159
00:07:16,519 --> 00:07:18,920
because that's what that's what happened back in the day,

160
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,879
you know Woodstock. You know people they were just coming

161
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,160
and having a ball. You know, it wasn't like pay

162
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,199
to play. They probably would looked at you, stupid with

163
00:07:27,279 --> 00:07:31,920
a guitar case. Of course, it's crazy.

164
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:33,199
Speaker 3: Now what about you were back at how did you

165
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:34,000
get involved in this?

166
00:07:34,519 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 7: So I actually met Malcolm back Blue Ridge when he

167
00:07:37,199 --> 00:07:40,399
was working for Hafel Bones, Okay, and I was just

168
00:07:40,439 --> 00:07:45,240
a bubbly, bouncy little child. So I was like, what

169
00:07:45,279 --> 00:07:47,000
can I do to help? And he was like, here's

170
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,759
a ticket or backstage pass. You can go ahead and

171
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,160
help us with pictures and a whole bunch of other things.

172
00:07:52,199 --> 00:07:54,279
And so I just kind of picked up and followed

173
00:07:54,319 --> 00:07:57,079
him around. And it's always been a big part of

174
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,800
my life to just help bands. I've got tons of

175
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,720
friends down in Radford and Roanoke area that are bands.

176
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,360
I've got friends down in Woodbridge, Virginia that are also

177
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,360
bands trying to get big. And so when he was like, yeah,

178
00:08:08,399 --> 00:08:10,959
we're actually converting it from just this group that we

179
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,160
hang out with. We're going to go big and we

180
00:08:13,199 --> 00:08:15,079
want to do stuff with it, I'm like helping people.

181
00:08:15,199 --> 00:08:16,160
I'm in what can I do?

182
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:16,639
Speaker 3: Yeah?

183
00:08:17,079 --> 00:08:20,199
Speaker 1: Oh, excellent, excellent? And so how long I may have

184
00:08:20,199 --> 00:08:22,519
asked this before, but how long has this? How long

185
00:08:22,519 --> 00:08:25,000
has this existed? It's been a number of years now, right.

186
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:28,279
Speaker 5: Right, Well, to give the backstory, and I'm not going

187
00:08:28,279 --> 00:08:30,639
to stay in the other club. It initially started off

188
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:34,480
where we all met in a whole other music club.

189
00:08:35,919 --> 00:08:38,159
Like we was even to the point where when we

190
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:42,159
says the club experience, meaning is like most people thought

191
00:08:42,159 --> 00:08:45,360
we were MC's Yeah, because we were, because we were

192
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,559
the whole battle vest. We had our heart patch, we

193
00:08:48,639 --> 00:08:50,679
had our you know, but we didn't have the three

194
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:52,759
piece on the back, like it literally says leads to

195
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:56,879
solid music promotion because we want to, you know, separate

196
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,320
ourselves from that look. But we love that look because

197
00:08:59,399 --> 00:09:01,919
that's what's in rock and roll. That's what's always You

198
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,279
always wears your battle vest to a festival. You've always

199
00:09:04,279 --> 00:09:06,759
wears your battle vest to a monspit. You've always done

200
00:09:06,799 --> 00:09:08,840
you know, you've always had your stuff where Hey, this

201
00:09:08,919 --> 00:09:11,360
man I saw back in nineteen eighty seven, and uh,

202
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:13,120
they rocked my world and I had to get some

203
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:14,360
kind of memory, you know what I'm saying.

204
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:16,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, you gotta you have that jacket.

205
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 5: Where it has those war wounds where you know, like

206
00:09:18,799 --> 00:09:21,799
I was in that modspit of you know, Metallica where

207
00:09:21,879 --> 00:09:23,440
that dude almost got his neck burk.

208
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:28,159
Speaker 6: You know, even even before the age of the battle vest,

209
00:09:28,279 --> 00:09:31,840
it was the washed out, acid washed denim jacket the

210
00:09:31,879 --> 00:09:34,600
eighties with with your your old favorite band T shirt

211
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:36,240
that you've worn one too many times, so you cut

212
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:37,639
the front of it off and iron it onto the

213
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:39,440
back of the jacket. Now it's totally aware.

214
00:09:40,159 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 5: But yeah, so that's initially what it was, and it

215
00:09:42,039 --> 00:09:45,039
was the club experience. But and we were doing both simultaneously.

216
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:50,000
But to uh, to get ourselves more format and structured

217
00:09:50,039 --> 00:09:52,879
and stable within the music community, to know that we

218
00:09:52,919 --> 00:09:55,840
are dead serious about this, we took away the club

219
00:09:55,879 --> 00:09:59,759
aspect for a little while and then uh just focused

220
00:09:59,759 --> 00:10:00,960
and so focus on just.

221
00:10:01,399 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 3: Fine bands, fine bands, fine bands.

222
00:10:03,639 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 5: Like I said, I wanted to do my radio show because,

223
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:07,519
like I said, I've always wanted to be on radio

224
00:10:07,519 --> 00:10:08,519
show earlier to you.

225
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,919
Speaker 3: You've got the voice for it. Yeah, I try. I'll

226
00:10:11,919 --> 00:10:13,120
show you a little skin of what I do.

227
00:10:13,159 --> 00:10:15,639
Speaker 5: But like, if you like, if you wanted to listen

228
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:17,360
to it on fing radio, cool, I would like to

229
00:10:17,399 --> 00:10:19,679
do that also. But my thing was is I wanted

230
00:10:19,759 --> 00:10:22,399
to be the visual one because I've always entertained being

231
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,480
on some kind of stage. So, you know, in order,

232
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:27,919
especially when I'm not doing my music, I miss music

233
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:31,480
so much that I would rather you know, start a

234
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,320
radio show where I can have the music video up

235
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,039
and me sitting in the corner like showing all right

236
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,039
and just going at it, you know what I'm saying,

237
00:10:39,039 --> 00:10:43,320
Just having fun and banging, getting the crowd wrapped up,

238
00:10:43,399 --> 00:10:46,720
rilled up, and have an entertainment, just pretty much purely

239
00:10:46,759 --> 00:10:51,559
bringing as much true passion to this thing. Because when

240
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:53,919
I grew up, it was you know, it was rebel radio.

241
00:10:54,159 --> 00:10:56,080
Say oh, you don't want me to play that? Screw

242
00:10:56,159 --> 00:10:59,639
you d You know what I'm saying, It's done, it's on.

243
00:11:00,279 --> 00:11:01,840
So that's what I mean. I grew up in that

244
00:11:01,879 --> 00:11:03,639
area and I would love to get that back because

245
00:11:03,639 --> 00:11:06,559
it's some of the things that we grew up on

246
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,679
in rock and roll and how it went it should

247
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:10,279
have never changed.

248
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 3: It wasn't broken. Let's not break it again, you know

249
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:13,360
what I'm saying.

250
00:11:13,759 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 5: Let's fix it and put it back the way it was,

251
00:11:15,519 --> 00:11:17,399
because obviously it was going better that way than it

252
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,320
was you breaking it and trying to sell it, you

253
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:20,879
know what I'm saying.

254
00:11:20,919 --> 00:11:22,919
Speaker 3: So I'm all about rubber radio.

255
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:24,799
Speaker 5: I'm all about, you know, just going out there and

256
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:28,159
having fun, just enjoying music, like how anybody would do.

257
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:29,960
I would love to be able to have somebody call

258
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,000
in and say, hey, man, that last song you play

259
00:11:32,039 --> 00:11:34,120
we're on a road trip, but it set the moment

260
00:11:34,639 --> 00:11:36,279
for our you know, our thing.

261
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 3: And it's not even a band. I know who is

262
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:39,559
that band? You see what I'm saying.

263
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 5: We want to get everybody passionate and loving music again

264
00:11:43,159 --> 00:11:44,960
instead of just being like, well, I listened to Slip

265
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,639
Night from nineteen ninety eight for you know, the past

266
00:11:47,639 --> 00:11:50,759
twenty five years and Creed the Farms wide open, you know,

267
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,399
some Lincoln Park from back in the day, and you know,

268
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:55,039
we want you to be able to still open your

269
00:11:55,039 --> 00:11:57,840
mind and be collected to new stuff and not just

270
00:11:57,840 --> 00:11:59,039
to be stuck in the same world.

271
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:03,039
Speaker 1: Right, It's hard to get a lot of people, it's

272
00:12:03,039 --> 00:12:04,759
hard to even get them into new stuff. This is

273
00:12:04,759 --> 00:12:06,440
a subject that comes up a lot on the show

274
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:08,799
because a lot of people they get to a certain

275
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:10,720
age and it's like, I mean, if I had to

276
00:12:10,759 --> 00:12:13,559
guess what the averages, I would guess thirty. But I

277
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:15,799
think for some people it's like when they graduate high

278
00:12:15,799 --> 00:12:18,440
school where they just kind of go, Okay, I've heard

279
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:20,559
all the music I ever need to hear. I'm only

280
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,519
going to like music up to this point, and anything

281
00:12:23,639 --> 00:12:26,759
after this I don't like because all the good music

282
00:12:26,799 --> 00:12:29,720
has already been made and people just get locked in.

283
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:34,039
And I like to bring up my father is a

284
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,840
great exception to that. My dad's in his seventies. He

285
00:12:36,879 --> 00:12:40,000
lives on the seacoast and he listens to WUNH, the

286
00:12:40,039 --> 00:12:43,360
great college station there because he loves to hear new stuff.

287
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:45,000
He's always listening.

288
00:12:44,799 --> 00:12:45,399
Speaker 3: To new music.

289
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 1: Like you wouldn't get into You wouldn't get into a

290
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:49,279
car with my dad and you're the oldies station on

291
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,279
the radio. This is not gonna happen. He loves hearing

292
00:12:51,279 --> 00:12:54,639
new stuff and he's always been like that. But that's rare.

293
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:56,600
I feel like a lot of people they just get

294
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:58,440
to a certain point and they go, oh, that's it.

295
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:00,279
Everything after this I just don't.

296
00:13:00,399 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 3: I just don't like right.

297
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:03,159
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm thirty seven and I still want to go

298
00:13:03,399 --> 00:13:06,039
find newer things. That's the whole reason for this, as

299
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:09,639
well as how can you say call this work like

300
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,200
this is I literally do cooking, but when this is

301
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:14,600
supposed to be a second job too, Yeah, it's not.

302
00:13:14,639 --> 00:13:16,960
Because we have so much passion and love for it. Yeah,

303
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,720
it's a vacation. Yeah, yeah, I mean the whole entire

304
00:13:19,759 --> 00:13:21,279
time me and Becka was on the way up here.

305
00:13:21,399 --> 00:13:24,519
We have not been able to decompress from our years

306
00:13:24,519 --> 00:13:27,399
of stress because the whole incident Blue and Rock Festival happened,

307
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:30,440
and you know a few other places just disappearing, like

308
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,240
Epics Center only coming around for one year.

309
00:13:32,519 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 3: We have not been able to find, you know, affordable.

310
00:13:37,159 --> 00:13:39,080
Speaker 5: Festival to go to, you know what I'm saying, to

311
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:42,000
decpress and enjoy what we love and hearing new bands

312
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:45,320
and finding new bands or whatever, yeah, around my area.

313
00:13:45,399 --> 00:13:49,399
So it's like coming up here is our decompression to

314
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:51,320
reset our minds to be able to deal with the

315
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,480
rest of distress of the year that's going to come

316
00:13:53,519 --> 00:13:53,840
to us.

317
00:13:53,919 --> 00:13:56,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, you see what I'm saying. Oh yeah, absolutely, So,

318
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:56,919
like that's how.

319
00:13:56,879 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 5: Much we love music, is that it helps us in

320
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,200
more ways in one yeah, you know, other than just

321
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,480
passing time, Like oh that was just that was just

322
00:14:04,519 --> 00:14:08,279
a good song, you know what I'm just I'm glad

323
00:14:08,279 --> 00:14:10,879
I accidentally listened to that. No, no, this is we're

324
00:14:10,919 --> 00:14:13,799
really going. I literally sat there, sat there. Sometimes not

325
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,240
here recently because I've been busy with working as a

326
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:21,519
cook yeah, that I would sit there and I wouldn't

327
00:14:21,519 --> 00:14:22,039
even tell him.

328
00:14:22,039 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 3: Like the next day, like I barely got three. I

329
00:14:23,799 --> 00:14:24,720
was asleep. Man, I've been.

330
00:14:25,039 --> 00:14:27,559
Speaker 5: I went down what I call it, you know, the wormhole.

331
00:14:27,559 --> 00:14:30,000
I went down the rabbit hole, and I went so

332
00:14:30,159 --> 00:14:32,399
far that it's like I'm, you know, pretty much the

333
00:14:32,399 --> 00:14:35,399
mad Hatter sitting there on my twentieth cup of coffee

334
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,320
or tea, and just like, man, let mean, what do

335
00:14:38,399 --> 00:14:40,320
I find? Because once I start finding new stuff that

336
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,679
I've never heard in my life, whether either they've been

337
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,960
signed to something a label that is not very fancy

338
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,960
or one of the big labels, I'm all about finding

339
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,039
new music. Like That's why I have a segment in

340
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,480
my thing called Mystery Bands with Malachi.

341
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:55,639
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying.

342
00:14:55,679 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 5: So like where I spend at least thirty seconds to

343
00:14:58,519 --> 00:15:02,200
a minute dead radio solids and just sit there and

344
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,639
go scroll, scroll, just so I can also knock out

345
00:15:04,639 --> 00:15:06,799
two birds with one stone and prove that it is

346
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:08,679
not that hard to find new music.

347
00:15:08,759 --> 00:15:09,279
Speaker 3: Well that's the thing.

348
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's easier than ever. There's no excuse not to

349
00:15:11,639 --> 00:15:11,879
not to.

350
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 5: I mean, you have Apple, you have you know Spotify,

351
00:15:15,639 --> 00:15:16,840
you have all these other.

352
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:18,679
Speaker 7: Things, but you got TikTok.

353
00:15:18,759 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, you got TikTok. You got all these bands.

354
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 5: Like That's how I'm finding some of these bands that

355
00:15:22,879 --> 00:15:25,039
are before they get too big where you can't play

356
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,559
them because I don't have any certifications to play through

357
00:15:27,559 --> 00:15:30,519
my radio station except for on Twitch. They'll let so

358
00:15:30,639 --> 00:15:33,919
much go. But if you start playing some godsmack, right,

359
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:35,600
you know, it's like all right, no, we got to

360
00:15:35,639 --> 00:15:38,440
meet that, you know what I'm saying. So I have limits,

361
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:40,440
so as long as I stay where I'm supposed to

362
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:42,960
be at, which is the content of local and up

363
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,000
and coming as well as requests and every now and again,

364
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:47,799
like I said, I love my Rebel radio, So because

365
00:15:47,799 --> 00:15:50,600
I'm on to Rebel to the core, every now and again,

366
00:15:50,639 --> 00:15:52,960
you might see me sneak something in there, even if

367
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:55,039
it's like thirty to forty five seconds of you know,

368
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,000
five minutes alone or you know what I'm saying, like

369
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,279
something really cool that everybody to kind of just keep

370
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:03,519
the hypeness and the joy of the room. But other

371
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:05,799
than that, that's what our platforms are made for, is

372
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,120
to help up and coming and anything local.

373
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:10,919
Speaker 3: Where do you stream I do it?

374
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,679
Speaker 5: I've been on the mix on the mix of going

375
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:17,159
back and forth between Facebook and Twitch, because Facebook for

376
00:16:17,159 --> 00:16:19,679
the longest time was letting me play whatever, even if

377
00:16:19,679 --> 00:16:20,639
it was something well known.

378
00:16:21,039 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 3: And then it cut to the point where as long

379
00:16:22,879 --> 00:16:23,399
as it.

380
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:27,799
Speaker 5: Was local and the AI couldn't pick it up, I

381
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:29,440
could play it on Facebook. And then I was like,

382
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:31,679
all right, I was tired of losing all my fans

383
00:16:32,039 --> 00:16:34,000
because for the longest time, for like the first few years,

384
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:37,159
I've been doing according to your malcoa almost little almost

385
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:40,240
five years, yeah and some And when I first started out,

386
00:16:40,279 --> 00:16:42,679
I was playing to nobody, even on Facebook. It was

387
00:16:42,679 --> 00:16:44,360
like one two people come in and like, oh, you're

388
00:16:44,399 --> 00:16:46,240
playing videos. No, no, we don't go away. I don't want

389
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:48,120
to listen to that. I don't want to see the

390
00:16:48,159 --> 00:16:50,720
light show. I don't want you know what I'm saying, Like, so, uh,

391
00:16:50,919 --> 00:16:52,720
for a couple of years I played to myself, which

392
00:16:52,759 --> 00:16:54,639
is fine. I still went on there and say, all

393
00:16:54,679 --> 00:16:58,320
have fun. The experience is what it was needed, and uh.

394
00:16:58,519 --> 00:17:01,279
But I initially started doing it on there, and then

395
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:04,039
when they started really hardcore getting into it, like pretty

396
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:09,240
much redstream and immediately blocking your your feed, it was like,

397
00:17:09,279 --> 00:17:10,640
all right, now I need to find something else. So

398
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:12,799
I went to Twitch. Okay, we're on the mixture of

399
00:17:12,839 --> 00:17:16,119
Twitch and all that, and now that Discord is coming

400
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:20,839
more suis to of actually doing live shows. Yeah, I

401
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:22,599
feel like over there they would give you. And then

402
00:17:22,599 --> 00:17:24,680
this is like some places like Patreon and all that,

403
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:26,599
if you do a lot, they don't care what you

404
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:28,400
do over there. You can literally go over there and

405
00:17:29,759 --> 00:17:31,599
spit into a bucket, you know what I'm saying, all

406
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:33,359
day long and the har entire time, and they wouldn't care,

407
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,240
you see what I'm saying. So yeah, that being that,

408
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:38,480
it's all depending on the where you go and how

409
00:17:38,519 --> 00:17:40,240
much you want to pay. So Twitch is kind of

410
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:42,119
like in our feed because right now what we're doing,

411
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:44,519
we're running this company off our own wallet.

412
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,440
Speaker 3: Yeah. This is not like we're out here scamming people

413
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:49,839
and getting it all over. No. We Actually that's what

414
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:50,200
I'm said.

415
00:17:50,279 --> 00:17:51,640
Speaker 5: When we go to you go to our Legion of

416
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:53,559
Solace dot com page, and you go to lesion on

417
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:56,440
and you buy merch that money is not going into

418
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:59,240
our pockets. If it does help to us to either

419
00:17:59,279 --> 00:18:01,160
a get up here to do something or a B

420
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:03,880
two spots or something, yes we might use a little bit.

421
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,279
Other than that, most of that money goes to Hey,

422
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:08,599
use this band said they needed a sponsorship. They're about

423
00:18:08,599 --> 00:18:11,079
to go on toward there's short two hundred dollars in

424
00:18:11,079 --> 00:18:12,359
between two to four hundred dollars.

425
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:14,519
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, we all talk amongst each other.

426
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,559
Speaker 5: You have enough to do it this week, Yeah, put

427
00:18:17,559 --> 00:18:19,119
the money together, send it off to them.

428
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:21,799
Speaker 3: There you go. Like everything that we're doing, we're running

429
00:18:21,839 --> 00:18:22,599
straight out of pocket.

430
00:18:22,599 --> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 5: Like I just bought a new gamer laptop just to

431
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:27,640
make sure I have good enough multitasking streaming.

432
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, to be able to do this.

433
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:29,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly.

434
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 3: It's all my own TM.

435
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:32,319
Speaker 5: And it's not like we're you know, it's basically like

436
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:35,559
I said, we're gonna be becoming an LLC, yeah and

437
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:39,359
all that stuff. We're working towards all everything, but it's

438
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:40,720
just got to do what we got to do for

439
00:18:40,799 --> 00:18:41,000
right now.

440
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,319
Speaker 1: At the top, I was curious about the streaming because

441
00:18:43,319 --> 00:18:45,480
my experience with this show is so like, right now,

442
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,839
we're streaming a Facebook and YouTube. Yeah, and what what

443
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:52,440
has been happening lately is so Facebook. I'll get a

444
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:57,480
notification afterward that says you're sharing ad revenue with whoever

445
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:00,440
the guests music that we played was, which is fine,

446
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,039
and then I just click except so so it stays

447
00:19:03,079 --> 00:19:05,160
on Facebook. They don't take it down because for there

448
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:06,559
was a little bit of a period where they would

449
00:19:06,559 --> 00:19:07,000
actually just.

450
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:08,160
Speaker 3: Take it down. Now they don't.

451
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 1: And with YouTube, I usually get a notification that just

452
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:16,599
says sometimes it'll say your video is blocked in certain countries,

453
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:20,799
but never the US, which is good, and and they

454
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:22,880
just you know, I can't monetize it, which I don't

455
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:24,599
expect to be able to anyway, because I'm you know,

456
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:26,279
it's copyrighted stuff.

457
00:19:26,319 --> 00:19:30,039
Speaker 5: But once they see that you're an actual legit FM

458
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:33,160
and AM radio station, yeah, they probably like, oh, well,

459
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,599
he has the the credits to do.

460
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:37,640
Speaker 1: So I think you're right, because I because I used

461
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:39,839
to get blocked, like on Facebook. They would block it,

462
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:41,640
and then I would file the appeal and I would

463
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:43,839
say that I would say, we're a federally LICENSEDUFF and

464
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,319
radio station. But I had this whole spiel, and then

465
00:19:46,319 --> 00:19:48,279
after a while they just stopped blocking it. And then

466
00:19:48,319 --> 00:19:50,480
and then instead I started getting the ad revenue share

467
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,920
of thing. So yeah, but you said so, but Twitch

468
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:55,000
doesn't give you a hard time.

469
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,119
Speaker 5: So I'm playing something extremely well known, like a well

470
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:00,599
known bay like five a death punch.

471
00:20:00,799 --> 00:20:02,640
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm a god or something that.

472
00:20:02,759 --> 00:20:05,200
Speaker 5: Immediately as soon as you hear like, oh that's for sugar,

473
00:20:05,519 --> 00:20:08,279
Oh that's you know, bullon Parade, that's this.

474
00:20:08,519 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 3: You know.

475
00:20:08,799 --> 00:20:12,039
Speaker 5: If it ain't got that, it's good, like anything that's

476
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,160
up and coming. That's why I try this, like, because

477
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:16,599
I'm one person and I can't get all the way

478
00:20:16,599 --> 00:20:19,880
around America and deep into the bowels of it. That's

479
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,480
why we, like I said, we have the Legion of

480
00:20:22,559 --> 00:20:25,839
Solace to where you can come into any of our pages. Yeah,

481
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:27,920
talk to us right and say, hey, man, I came

482
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,720
across this band that I saw last night at an

483
00:20:30,799 --> 00:20:34,599
underground show. Here's their credentials, here's what this is. Here's

484
00:20:34,599 --> 00:20:36,559
a good video that you can put upon your show,

485
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:37,960
or you can just come in and drop the link

486
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,759
in to my radio a radio show. Yeah, it doesn't matter.

487
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:43,640
As long as it's not something well known, We're good.

488
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:44,119
Speaker 3: Yeah.

489
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:46,799
Speaker 1: I was curious about that too, because I could in theory,

490
00:20:46,799 --> 00:20:48,599
I could stream this to Twitch and it's set up

491
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:50,799
to do that. But the only reason I don't is

492
00:20:50,839 --> 00:20:53,640
because I've just heard horror stories about them being super

493
00:20:55,039 --> 00:20:55,920
touchy about.

494
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,200
Speaker 5: It is what it is. I think it's more along

495
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:02,599
the lines, especially like if you can fighting it, like

496
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:04,880
with you having all the conditionals to do so, yeah,

497
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,680
they're immediately like all right, well we'll let you go

498
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:09,079
and we we'll leave you alone.

499
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:10,440
Speaker 3: I have a feeling that feeling.

500
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,119
Speaker 5: The only time they've ever bothered me is actually if

501
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:16,799
I'm putting up a legit video of like, you know,

502
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:20,039
Loan of Shores and I put up you know, the

503
00:21:20,079 --> 00:21:24,599
hell fire video and you know, actually put it to

504
00:21:24,599 --> 00:21:28,119
where people can go back and rewatch it, then that'll

505
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:30,880
be a problem. But if it's a band or unlike

506
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:34,160
up and coming band or local band, it's not gonna

507
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,119
be it's not gonna be matter because there's not on

508
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:39,000
their registry to be like, well we can't we can't buck.

509
00:21:39,279 --> 00:21:40,319
Speaker 3: There's no stopping that.

510
00:21:40,799 --> 00:21:43,200
Speaker 5: That's why that's why I was like wanted to also

511
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:44,759
talk to you, like how did you even be able

512
00:21:44,759 --> 00:21:47,599
to get disappeal on that field radio? Because I wanted

513
00:21:47,599 --> 00:21:50,119
to figure out how I can do that same thing

514
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:53,079
down in Listbord, Virginia in my home because that's literally

515
00:21:53,079 --> 00:21:54,920
what I do. I sit in my studio and I

516
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:58,359
just go down the rabbit hole and find up and

517
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:00,920
coming bands and design bands or whoever somebody comes in

518
00:22:01,279 --> 00:22:04,799
and request. Yeah, and play it like we've been playing

519
00:22:04,839 --> 00:22:06,920
a bunch of the bands like Dead by Wednesday.

520
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:08,319
Speaker 3: I'll play them just about all the time on the

521
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:08,880
radio show.

522
00:22:09,039 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, I've played Uh, I played Sepsist all the time,

523
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:18,079
playing now bite what inverter? Yeah, we play all the

524
00:22:18,079 --> 00:22:20,400
inverter guys. You know anybody that we I've ben't come

525
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:25,000
across personally or just I found a monst going down

526
00:22:25,039 --> 00:22:28,240
the rabbit hole. Okay, I'm playing on the radio show,

527
00:22:28,319 --> 00:22:30,559
And like I said, you're always welcome, And I'm even

528
00:22:30,559 --> 00:22:33,160
about to start on what's up app things to where

529
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:35,039
you can call in just like on your show. Like

530
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:37,440
your show, you can call in and talk to me,

531
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:40,359
and you can do your request per calling and we

532
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:44,119
can even have a conversation. Because my podcast is whatever

533
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,640
it is about music, whether we can talk about the

534
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,319
whole it doesn't matter what genre you want to talk about.

535
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:51,720
The Diddy situation. Let's talk about the Didy situation. Yeah,

536
00:22:51,759 --> 00:22:54,160
I geme my opinion on it. Cool, you know, blah

537
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,480
blah blah. It's totally unsensored. And that's the great thing

538
00:22:56,519 --> 00:22:59,279
about twitch too, you can use as long as you

539
00:22:59,319 --> 00:23:02,920
set the the things right where it's you know, saying, hey,

540
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:04,839
this is supposed to be something that's over eighteen blah

541
00:23:04,839 --> 00:23:07,599
blah blah blah, and then next thing, you know, you

542
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:09,920
can do whatever you want and talk, you know, about

543
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,759
whatever situations you want. Yeah, because I like, like Will,

544
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:15,519
I'm a very I'm very I as you could tell,

545
00:23:15,519 --> 00:23:19,240
I'm trying to keep mine my composure about me and

546
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:21,880
not trying to do anything stupid and just automatically like

547
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:23,880
I'm on my own radio show and just go at it.

548
00:23:24,279 --> 00:23:27,440
I'm just one of those type of people. Yeah, I'm very.

549
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,559
I don't have no filter. I have no filter at

550
00:23:30,559 --> 00:23:33,039
all whatsoever. So like you, it's even worse when I'm

551
00:23:33,039 --> 00:23:36,359
in the kitchen. I kid you, not even worse when

552
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:39,759
I'm in the kitchen. So the thing about it is,

553
00:23:39,759 --> 00:23:42,240
it's just we're all here to have fun, man and

554
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:45,119
live life. And our passion is music. My music is

555
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,799
always in passion. Like my passion always in music, even

556
00:23:47,799 --> 00:23:49,440
when I was in middle school, all that stuff, growing

557
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:52,440
up with a chorus, the band, everything that I possibly could,

558
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:54,799
even to the point of getting kicked out about the

559
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:58,039
music teacher because I'm wearing a Maryland Manson shirt. Oh okay, yeah,

560
00:23:58,079 --> 00:23:59,920
you know what I'm saying. My music teacher could not

561
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:04,839
staying anybody who wanted to start a band. If you

562
00:24:04,839 --> 00:24:07,319
want to start a band with some trumpets, trumboes, some flutes,

563
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:10,079
some sacks, He's down for that, right, but he wasn't

564
00:24:10,079 --> 00:24:13,000
for the whole Oh you coming into Maryland, Masster. Sure,

565
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:17,839
Oh you got a navana, get a class. Yeah, I'll

566
00:24:17,839 --> 00:24:19,920
come from all that. Yeah, it's awesome.

567
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:23,279
Speaker 1: And you're so you're from Virginia and Bruce, you're in Massachusetts.

568
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:25,400
Speaker 2: I'm in Massachusetts. I grew up in Ohio. I've been

569
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:26,480
out here for years.

570
00:24:26,519 --> 00:24:27,680
Speaker 3: And Rebecca, where are you from?

571
00:24:27,799 --> 00:24:30,200
Speaker 7: So I'm from northern Virginia, like right outside of DC.

572
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:32,599
But for the past four years I was actually out

573
00:24:32,599 --> 00:24:35,839
in Colorado and just recently got back to northern Virginia.

574
00:24:36,039 --> 00:24:38,960
Speaker 1: Oh okay, all right, very good. What what set you

575
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:39,640
to Colorado?

576
00:24:41,039 --> 00:24:44,400
Speaker 7: Personal life issues. I kind of had to abandon ship

577
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:47,519
pretty quick and get out to safe zone with momtcha,

578
00:24:47,599 --> 00:24:50,039
and then rebuilt up. And now I'm kind of picking

579
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:53,319
up the messes of what happened. But we're getting better

580
00:24:53,319 --> 00:24:56,079
and we're going up and good yeah.

581
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:56,920
Speaker 3: Good, good, very good.

582
00:24:57,039 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you are joining us, we have members of

583
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:06,160
Legion of Solace here with us alive in studio. What

584
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:08,079
are some of the things that you that you see

585
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:10,279
wrong that because Bruce, you had made a reference to

586
00:25:10,319 --> 00:25:12,119
this earlier, you said some of the things that you

587
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:14,720
see wrong in the in the music scene that that

588
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:17,359
are part of the motivation for why you're doing the

589
00:25:17,519 --> 00:25:19,240
things that you want to fix or help with.

590
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:22,880
Speaker 6: The biggest issue is pay to play. Yeah, if you

591
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,839
are providing talent and you are providing entertainment, why do

592
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:27,279
you have to pay me to do so?

593
00:25:27,599 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 3: Right?

594
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,279
Speaker 6: You are the artist in that situation. Shouldn't you be

595
00:25:30,319 --> 00:25:31,640
paid for your art?

596
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 3: Yeah?

597
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:38,200
Speaker 6: So if you're invited, if like Jen, you don't get

598
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:41,079
you don't get invited to Mosaic with a bill, you

599
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:44,079
get invited to Mosaic with a hanging hook.

600
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:46,319
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, she doesn't.

601
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:47,599
Speaker 4: But I do pay an entrance.

602
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 3: There is an entrance, there's an entrance for you.

603
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:53,799
Speaker 4: That but but that's the jury show, so.

604
00:25:53,799 --> 00:25:54,839
Speaker 2: Right, right, right, right?

605
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:57,680
Speaker 6: So, so the the entrance for you is to be juried, correct,

606
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:01,440
But so so, but what once you're invited to be

607
00:26:01,799 --> 00:26:02,559
on the bill.

608
00:26:02,799 --> 00:26:04,559
Speaker 2: There's no more money, right right.

609
00:26:04,759 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 6: So and like so some of the bigger festivals, not

610
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:13,319
only do they have an application fee if you're not selected,

611
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:18,680
it's a non refundable application fee. Really so if it's so,

612
00:26:18,839 --> 00:26:22,119
like to take Blue Ridge for example, if they're booking

613
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:24,640
one hundred and eighty six bands for the four days,

614
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:28,519
they might take six hundred applications. Now, of those six

615
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:31,799
hundred applications, they might only book forty of the small, independent,

616
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:35,240
unsigned bands. So now that's five hundred and fifty bands.

617
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:38,279
That just gave seventy five dollars application fee per band.

618
00:26:38,519 --> 00:26:42,160
Wow that they don't get back. Now, how many gigs

619
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:44,160
could they have driven to for that seventy five dollars?

620
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:45,759
How many meals could they have bought while they were

621
00:26:45,799 --> 00:26:47,359
on the road for that seventy five dollars?

622
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:48,200
Speaker 3: Rightactly?

623
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:49,440
Speaker 2: That that's where we come in.

624
00:26:51,559 --> 00:26:54,200
Speaker 6: A lot of these promoters, especially like at the merch

625
00:26:54,279 --> 00:26:59,160
table things like that. My opinion is the venues are

626
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:05,039
making a nice up charge on the liquor at the bars.

627
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:06,680
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that's where they make their money.

628
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:10,559
Speaker 6: Off, and especially ticket fees, especially with some of the

629
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:14,279
national acts, even if you're not going through Ticketmaster, Live

630
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:16,720
Nation or any any of the big demons in the

631
00:27:16,759 --> 00:27:20,480
ticket industry, even like e Tics or front Gate Tickets,

632
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:24,640
ticket fly, You're still paying convenience fees. You're still paying

633
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,680
a third party just for printing a ticket or putting

634
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:33,200
your name on a list, and that that has to stop. Yeah, Like,

635
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:37,440
I understand that venues need an income as well, and

636
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:42,079
I understand that the service fee has a purpose, But

637
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:44,640
why am I paying a nineteen dollars and seventy five

638
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:46,759
cent service fee on a thirty five dollars ticket?

639
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 2: Right?

640
00:27:48,519 --> 00:27:50,359
Speaker 1: Well, the thing is too if you if you buy

641
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:55,880
tickets online through Live Nation, Ticketmaster, it's the same thing spent.

642
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:59,559
Like for a big tour. Very often, you have no

643
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:01,480
idea what that final price is going to be until

644
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:03,680
you get to that last screen and you might be

645
00:28:03,799 --> 00:28:05,200
going to see you know, you might think it's one

646
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:08,759
hundred bucks a ticket to see whoever, and then and

647
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:11,720
it's it's set up, so you don't know until you

648
00:28:11,759 --> 00:28:14,799
get to that very last screen. All of a sudden,

649
00:28:14,799 --> 00:28:17,400
there's all these fees and maybe you bought two tickets

650
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,039
for one hundred bucks and it's gonna be two hundred

651
00:28:19,039 --> 00:28:22,759
total and uh, or you know, you might be savvy

652
00:28:22,839 --> 00:28:24,559
enough to think, wow, it's not gonna be two hundred bucks,

653
00:28:24,599 --> 00:28:26,200
this is gonna be more than that. There's gonna be

654
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:28,119
some sort of taxes or whatnot. And you get to

655
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:30,519
that final screen where it's you know, time to click

656
00:28:31,799 --> 00:28:34,599
purchase now, and it's like almost twice as much, right,

657
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:37,759
It's it's incredible, I mean like.

658
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 6: That, And it it's pricing a lot of the younger

659
00:28:42,519 --> 00:28:46,359
generations out of the bigger shows and out of the rooms.

660
00:28:46,599 --> 00:28:49,759
So it's also putting our local music scene and our

661
00:28:49,839 --> 00:28:53,680
younger music scene in jeopardy because every day we're losing

662
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:57,680
small music venues because people are so disgusted with the

663
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:00,400
way that it's going on at big music venues sure

664
00:29:00,519 --> 00:29:02,720
that they're just walking away from live music altogether and

665
00:29:02,799 --> 00:29:04,920
just and they're going back to the grassroots, going back

666
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:07,160
to the bar, sit down, have a couple of beers,

667
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:09,200
pay a five dollars cover charge, listen to three or

668
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:12,680
four quality bands, or like in today's case, it's for

669
00:29:12,799 --> 00:29:14,160
me fast eight quality bands.

670
00:29:15,759 --> 00:29:17,559
Speaker 2: It's what twenty bucks to get in the door tonight.

671
00:29:17,759 --> 00:29:21,599
Speaker 6: If I remember correctly, I believe so yeah, so, and

672
00:29:21,599 --> 00:29:23,759
and they do have a bit of a service fee

673
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:27,920
at the venue, and it's like maybe five or six

674
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,920
dollars per Yeah, you know, so, which makes sense. You

675
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:32,799
have to you have to help keep the lights on somehow.

676
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:37,039
You have to pay the staff, which is which is respectable. Yeah,

677
00:29:37,039 --> 00:29:39,279
but five six dollars service charge is no different than

678
00:29:39,279 --> 00:29:42,160
giving your giving your waitress or your bartender a five

679
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:43,880
dollars bill on your way out the door, saying thank

680
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,160
you for what you did, right, right.

681
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:48,119
Speaker 1: But it's not a situation where you're you end up

682
00:29:48,319 --> 00:29:50,279
paying twice what you were expecting.

683
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 5: Right yeah, right, Well, seeing that's the glorious thing about

684
00:29:52,759 --> 00:29:57,960
all the smaller bands. The band like events is like,

685
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:00,240
come on now, I'm just like tonight, you get how

686
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:03,160
many bands you get to go watch for that Bucky

687
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:06,839
know yeah yeah it's twenty bucks. Like, man, I don't

688
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:08,200
even know these bands. Why I should I have to

689
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:10,359
pay this much? Because hell, you know you have those

690
00:30:10,359 --> 00:30:11,319
type of people.

691
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:14,119
Speaker 6: Right, I just I just want to take a second

692
00:30:14,119 --> 00:30:16,359
and mention all eight bands on the bill.

693
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:17,359
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, please?

694
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 6: Opening is Diamond Edge, followed by Exception, then Lone Wolf,

695
00:30:22,119 --> 00:30:28,000
James Joint Damage, Hero and The Horror Casting Shadows Dead

696
00:30:28,039 --> 00:30:32,640
by Wednesday, and then Sepsis will be headlining the party.

697
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:35,359
A reminder, doors are going to open at five, music

698
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:38,480
starts at five thirty, and it's going to go almost

699
00:30:38,519 --> 00:30:41,319
continuously until roughly the eleven o'clock hour.

700
00:30:41,559 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, very good.

701
00:30:43,319 --> 00:30:47,759
Speaker 6: And a tomato tomato, taffaa tafeta. Either way, it's easy.

702
00:30:48,039 --> 00:30:52,519
It's easy to find at one ten Western Avenue in Lowell, Massachusetts.

703
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:58,680
Speaker 3: I'm ninety nine, it's taffay. We're argument time.

704
00:30:59,119 --> 00:31:03,039
Speaker 6: We have been having that internal discussion since about Tuesday ourselves.

705
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 3: There is no way you.

706
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:10,119
Speaker 5: Should definitely hear you should hear our founder Tuesday. She's

707
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:12,440
like she's trying to say to it's kind of like

708
00:31:12,519 --> 00:31:16,279
she's calling it taffy sometimes. But to answer your question

709
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:18,640
more so, another reason why we try to do this is,

710
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:21,079
like I said, I've been on the Blue Ridge two years,

711
00:31:21,119 --> 00:31:25,039
the first two years of and thank god we didn't

712
00:31:25,079 --> 00:31:27,400
have to pay the play. But I've seen everybody else's methods.

713
00:31:27,519 --> 00:31:30,319
Ye go in through this as well as the whole

714
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:35,920
the whole way of the thing about it is it

715
00:31:36,119 --> 00:31:39,039
sucks because it should not have to go down the

716
00:31:39,079 --> 00:31:40,799
way It us Like we were trying to do a

717
00:31:40,839 --> 00:31:43,160
sponsorship to that we did do a sponsorship to them,

718
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:48,799
and we made a big giant, you know, drop poster

719
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:50,680
and all that to be put somewhere where they told

720
00:31:50,759 --> 00:31:52,720
us to do never got put up. We were supposed

721
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:56,720
to put on the big teleproperters, teleprompters with our picture,

722
00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:58,960
you know, our logo. We was actually put upon the

723
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:02,839
you know Savenger Hunt and all that stuff, but every

724
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:07,200
nothing was properly advertised. We want to stop that because

725
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:09,759
if people are paying to help you run this thing,

726
00:32:10,519 --> 00:32:13,240
our our thing for legion assoloshould have been up instead

727
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:14,920
of at art. I have pictures of it where it's

728
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:17,440
sitting at our tent site. Because they didn't want to.

729
00:32:18,039 --> 00:32:22,079
Nobody was communicating well enough, nobody was doing their job

730
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:23,039
per se.

731
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 1: And just to be clear, this is something that you

732
00:32:26,039 --> 00:32:30,519
paid for, yes, like out of podcast yes, and what

733
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:32,759
did they have an excuse ready for you?

734
00:32:32,839 --> 00:32:34,759
Speaker 5: We didn't even say nothing about it, like the next

735
00:32:34,839 --> 00:32:36,480
year that we tried to go do the same thing again.

736
00:32:37,279 --> 00:32:39,400
A Well, we need to have an insurance policy, especially

737
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:40,960
if you're going to have a vendor setup, whether you're

738
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:45,000
selling selling something or not, you need to make sure

739
00:32:45,039 --> 00:32:46,799
that the insurance on it is what a meal.

740
00:32:47,359 --> 00:32:48,079
Speaker 2: I think it was two.

741
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, that we haven't had an insurance policy on just

742
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:52,559
our of us.

743
00:32:52,599 --> 00:32:54,759
Speaker 5: One of the set up spot to bring the information

744
00:32:54,839 --> 00:32:58,559
to people who love unsigned bands and up and coming talent.

745
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:01,759
Speaker 6: And it was literally or just in case like somebody

746
00:33:01,839 --> 00:33:03,680
fell down and hit their head on a table or

747
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:06,599
are or like our our ten by ten canopy blew

748
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:09,559
away and hit somebody, which twenty twenty three would would

749
00:33:09,559 --> 00:33:11,680
have made a lot of sense for that policy.

750
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:14,079
Speaker 5: Right, which I understand it's understand about how some kind

751
00:33:14,119 --> 00:33:17,039
of insertience policy, but it's all depending on what you're doing.

752
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:20,559
Like with us, we're more like you come into the

753
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:22,319
you know, coming into a new state, and it's like, hey,

754
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:24,960
here's a welcome center. That's pretty much what we are

755
00:33:25,279 --> 00:33:28,119
after we get more stuff established. But even so then

756
00:33:28,359 --> 00:33:31,519
we roughly sell most of our stuff online. Yeah, we

757
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:33,759
were for that year, we were going to push to

758
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:37,799
try to get more long lives our dot com up

759
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:40,319
and going and having traffic going to it. Yeah, but

760
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:42,799
it didn't happen that way because for one, they didn't

761
00:33:42,799 --> 00:33:45,599
put our banner anywhere. They didn't have us up on

762
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:48,160
the on the big teleproperties which were supposed to happen,

763
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:51,680
what three times every third band?

764
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:53,960
Speaker 2: Okay, three times a day all four days.

765
00:33:54,079 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, for every third band on each set of stages.

766
00:33:57,519 --> 00:33:59,559
It's supposed to go three times a day. Yeah, we

767
00:33:59,839 --> 00:34:00,480
had ever happened.

768
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 2: We had a group of fifteen people not a single

769
00:34:03,519 --> 00:34:04,759
eye sawt Oh wow.

770
00:34:04,759 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 5: I mean literally, we have friends that we that me

771
00:34:07,079 --> 00:34:10,599
and Becca know from going to multiple festivals that we

772
00:34:10,679 --> 00:34:13,079
were like, hey, if you see it, sap a picture,

773
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:14,840
text it to me, even though it might take the

774
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:16,280
whole rest of the day to send it to me,

775
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:17,159
because we're around.

776
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:21,079
Speaker 7: So many people, not added like another eighty set of

777
00:34:21,199 --> 00:34:23,639
eyes just from that individual group of people that I

778
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:25,320
was hanging out with. I was like, keep an eye out,

779
00:34:26,199 --> 00:34:26,480
no one.

780
00:34:28,039 --> 00:34:29,280
Speaker 3: So that's the saying, we.

781
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:31,159
Speaker 5: Want to stop that thing because that's something that you

782
00:34:31,199 --> 00:34:34,679
can easily be bypassed and that none of us could

783
00:34:34,679 --> 00:34:39,159
see because we're either we're in motion to another spot

784
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:42,320
or you know what I'm saying. We want to stop

785
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:45,360
the n needy not necessarily even if it was that's

786
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:48,119
a problem. Sure, we don't want it to happen anymore.

787
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:50,719
And then once we once we establish our own thing

788
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:53,320
of doing our own concert thing, that's where we wanted

789
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:56,079
to be. You want you to come in, live comfortably,

790
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:58,480
drink it the water. Relax, he's talking to your show.

791
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:01,480
We might even have some crew that will help put

792
00:35:01,559 --> 00:35:03,440
your equipment up there after you set it up there

793
00:35:03,519 --> 00:35:05,519
to where it makes it quicker for you, whatever the

794
00:35:05,599 --> 00:35:07,519
whole point about it is. And then at the end

795
00:35:07,639 --> 00:35:10,079
we hand you some money. Yep, as long as you're

796
00:35:10,119 --> 00:35:12,920
helping to push, promote and all that. Share share share

797
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:15,559
share share that brings a lot more and the whole

798
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:19,920
another thing. Competitiveness bands, that's another thing we want to stop.

799
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:22,360
We want everybody to work together. We want to prove

800
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:25,400
to everybody there's enough out here for everybody to get

801
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:28,079
their their dreams desired, right right. There's no need to

802
00:35:28,119 --> 00:35:29,639
sit here and fight like, oh well no, no, we

803
00:35:29,679 --> 00:35:32,079
don't need that, man, because they're gonna outshine us tonight.

804
00:35:32,119 --> 00:35:34,000
Because my voice is a little rasping. We just did

805
00:35:34,039 --> 00:35:36,320
three shows the other night, you know, and I'm hitting

806
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:38,119
you with the you know how you're doing the all

807
00:35:38,199 --> 00:35:41,119
faith you know voice. You know what I'm saying, like,

808
00:35:41,599 --> 00:35:44,000
oh well, whatever, so be if that's what happened, y'all

809
00:35:44,039 --> 00:35:44,840
did a great show tonight.

810
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:48,079
Speaker 3: Everybody has an off night. Stop the competitiveness work with

811
00:35:48,159 --> 00:35:48,440
each other.

812
00:35:48,519 --> 00:35:50,559
Speaker 5: Stop saying well they're not just because they're not in

813
00:35:50,679 --> 00:35:53,119
our genre and we're doing heavy metal with the growls

814
00:35:53,159 --> 00:35:56,679
and screams, and they're they're more clean vocals, like like

815
00:35:56,840 --> 00:36:02,039
I saw knock Fest. It was Behemoth, but you're a

816
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:04,719
slip knot bowlbeat.

817
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:05,679
Speaker 3: Yeah.

818
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:08,320
Speaker 7: I was security for that concert show because I was

819
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:11,559
my first official paid job, and I don't know how

820
00:36:11,639 --> 00:36:14,639
many fights I had to stop that night because Bulbat

821
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:16,280
and Yep and.

822
00:36:16,559 --> 00:36:22,599
Speaker 3: That, and you got a slipknode like come on, And.

823
00:36:22,639 --> 00:36:25,360
Speaker 7: The biggest thing was like personal from something not themselves.

824
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:27,719
That was the tour where everybody started like fighting each

825
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:30,239
other and like hitting each other with all the spikes

826
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:31,440
on their jackets and everything like that.

827
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:33,400
Speaker 3: So I didn't hear about any of this really.

828
00:36:33,519 --> 00:36:35,880
Speaker 7: Yeah, so it got really bad. I think the show

829
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,599
previous to the venue that I was working at was

830
00:36:38,679 --> 00:36:40,679
like down in North Carolina or something like that, and

831
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:43,079
people started grabbing their umbrellas and beating each other with it,

832
00:36:43,119 --> 00:36:44,920
and we don't, like, that's not a part of our crew.

833
00:36:45,119 --> 00:36:46,320
Speaker 3: Now.

834
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:51,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's just crazy what we've all seen experienced in

835
00:36:51,559 --> 00:36:53,960
our time of being is because before I met back

836
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:57,639
and she was traveling with our peoples all the time,

837
00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:00,159
going to festivals more than me. I didn't start going

838
00:37:00,199 --> 00:37:03,880
to festivals until well know, like eight nine years ago. Yeah,

839
00:37:04,039 --> 00:37:06,199
you know what I'm saying, and fell in love with it.

840
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:09,280
I said, screw one night, or I'd rather pay that

841
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:11,920
money that you would pay to have the VIP event

842
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:14,760
all that stuff and go literally stay there and camp.

843
00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:16,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, because that's.

844
00:37:16,199 --> 00:37:19,280
Speaker 5: It makes it that much more memorable, that much more

845
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:21,320
fun that you could meet new people that are in

846
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:23,760
that world. I have just about every friend I've met

847
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:26,519
I've met at an event. Yeah, and I've been really

848
00:37:26,519 --> 00:37:29,599
good friends except for like my childhood friends. Yeah, so everybody,

849
00:37:29,639 --> 00:37:31,000
like every time I go to a festival, it's a

850
00:37:31,039 --> 00:37:32,880
new friend. And I've met a new person in a

851
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:36,239
new state, city, country. You know, it does not matter,

852
00:37:36,599 --> 00:37:38,000
you know what I'm saying. That's the whole point. We

853
00:37:38,079 --> 00:37:40,480
want to communicate and do this pretty much like how

854
00:37:40,519 --> 00:37:42,480
it was back in the day. Hey, Ozzie, you want

855
00:37:42,519 --> 00:37:44,199
to come play with you know, Jimmy and you know

856
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:46,960
everybody else. Sure, I'll see you on the next flight.

857
00:37:47,639 --> 00:37:49,840
All right, Cool, we get it done. You see what

858
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:51,559
I'm saying, we wanted back to the way back it was.

859
00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:53,480
It was much more or easier back in the day

860
00:37:53,519 --> 00:37:54,280
than what it is today.

861
00:37:54,639 --> 00:37:57,320
Speaker 1: Right right, Well, Ozzie might not show up, though I

862
00:37:57,360 --> 00:37:58,320
wouldn't depend on him.

863
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:01,199
Speaker 3: I mean, well, I mean I guess if he's if

864
00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:03,960
he's still having that ant addiction, right.

865
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:05,519
Speaker 1: Dirt.

866
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:08,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, I love the dirt. Jenny and I watched that.

867
00:38:08,679 --> 00:38:09,079
Speaker 5: I love that.

868
00:38:09,199 --> 00:38:10,760
Speaker 3: I love that movie. I fell in love with it.

869
00:38:11,079 --> 00:38:13,679
Speaker 5: And also, you know, the longest little wristband I ever

870
00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:16,960
had was a Moley Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah.

871
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:17,639
Speaker 3: For the longest time.

872
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:19,519
Speaker 5: So yeah, I mean I'm a big fan of the

873
00:38:19,599 --> 00:38:22,199
old I grew up with a band right behind my

874
00:38:22,679 --> 00:38:23,559
my grandmother's house.

875
00:38:23,599 --> 00:38:24,519
Speaker 3: Oh really yeah, so yeah.

876
00:38:24,519 --> 00:38:26,119
Speaker 5: I mean when I was saying, I would hear them

877
00:38:26,159 --> 00:38:30,400
playing everything from clapt Into you know, Disturbed to whatever,

878
00:38:30,559 --> 00:38:32,599
like they were just very eglected to what they do.

879
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:33,639
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah.

880
00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:35,840
Speaker 1: If you are just joining us, we have members of

881
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:38,400
Legion of Solace here with us live in studio on

882
00:38:38,519 --> 00:38:41,239
this Saturday morning. It's a very special Saturday. Tonight is

883
00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:45,239
Swarmy Fast at Taffia in Lowell, which looks like now

884
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:47,719
have any of you been there already I have, Yes.

885
00:38:47,639 --> 00:38:47,840
Speaker 3: You have.

886
00:38:48,079 --> 00:38:50,199
Speaker 1: It looks from what I saw online, it looks like

887
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:50,840
a nice place.

888
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:52,400
Speaker 2: It's it's a nice room.

889
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:56,239
Speaker 6: It's very it's a very dark room, Okay, I have,

890
00:38:56,639 --> 00:38:59,719
in my opinion, has very much an old speakeasy feel

891
00:38:59,760 --> 00:38:59,920
to it.

892
00:39:00,199 --> 00:39:00,519
Speaker 3: Okay.

893
00:39:01,559 --> 00:39:04,199
Speaker 6: It's kind of a galley down one side where you'll

894
00:39:04,199 --> 00:39:08,239
find the entrance, the ticket window, the bar. There's a

895
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:11,599
permanent merch booth as well that'll will probably expand upon

896
00:39:11,679 --> 00:39:12,400
for all the bands.

897
00:39:12,559 --> 00:39:12,880
Speaker 3: Okay.

898
00:39:13,039 --> 00:39:15,159
Speaker 6: There is a small sitting lounge off in the corner,

899
00:39:15,199 --> 00:39:16,800
so if you need to get away from the loud

900
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:19,280
of the stage area itself, there's some comfy chairs in

901
00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:22,119
the corner. Yeah, and then you can move into the

902
00:39:22,199 --> 00:39:25,119
actual square concert space as well.

903
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:25,599
Speaker 3: Okay.

904
00:39:25,599 --> 00:39:29,519
Speaker 6: But look, look, room looks to hold I'd say just

905
00:39:29,599 --> 00:39:31,639
a gas maybe three to six hundred people comfortably.

906
00:39:31,679 --> 00:39:34,760
Speaker 3: Oh okay, Yeah, so decent sized room. Absolutely is big

907
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:35,360
stage or.

908
00:39:36,079 --> 00:39:40,800
Speaker 6: Good sized stage, very good sound quality, a very punctual venue,

909
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:44,639
which I like to see some some venues will be

910
00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:46,880
like yeah, show goes to eleven two thirty years, still

911
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:51,280
waiting on the headliner. But where this particular venue is located,

912
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:54,199
it's also around a brewing company and it's in a

913
00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:57,480
residential district. They're in a high rise complex with some

914
00:39:57,559 --> 00:40:00,079
studios and some loft spaces as well, so they to

915
00:40:00,199 --> 00:40:01,480
be very conscious of their time.

916
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:05,599
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, I laughed when you said that about the punctuality.

917
00:40:05,679 --> 00:40:10,960
Speaker 1: And because people in this area around Manchester, probably some

918
00:40:11,119 --> 00:40:13,199
people probably remember the bomb Shelter.

919
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:13,960
Speaker 3: I don't know if any of.

920
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:15,719
Speaker 2: You were, or I have heard stories.

921
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:19,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and yeah, I I remember. I remember playing

922
00:40:19,559 --> 00:40:21,880
there and none of the bands that I were in

923
00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:25,039
were headliners so to speak. But I remember going on

924
00:40:25,119 --> 00:40:27,679
stage at two a m. And you know, being the

925
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:31,039
only ones left in the room. Yeah, So I appreciate

926
00:40:31,079 --> 00:40:32,719
a punctual venue as.

927
00:40:34,519 --> 00:40:34,760
Speaker 5: Yeah.

928
00:40:36,199 --> 00:40:38,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's there's some There's a lot of stories about

929
00:40:38,519 --> 00:40:40,559
the Bomb Shelter and some of them are some of

930
00:40:40,599 --> 00:40:43,119
them are good stories and some some not not not

931
00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:43,599
that great.

932
00:40:43,679 --> 00:40:47,239
Speaker 6: But while we're speaking about Swarmy Fest, I just want

933
00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:49,800
to take a moment and mention all of the sponsors

934
00:40:50,039 --> 00:40:52,480
yes for the event as well. Not only are we

935
00:40:52,599 --> 00:40:55,079
the lead sponsor and co host for the event, we

936
00:40:55,159 --> 00:40:57,400
thank our family here at Matt Connorton Unleashed for joining

937
00:40:57,480 --> 00:41:01,760
us as well as BPS Records Speed Demon Promotions and

938
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:03,960
our friends over it and h Guitars.

939
00:41:04,199 --> 00:41:06,719
Speaker 5: Okay, big shout out to those guys, especially for me

940
00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:12,360
because they actually worked on my guitar for me. They

941
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:14,679
did a great job on it, brought everything back, helped

942
00:41:14,679 --> 00:41:17,920
me out with it because I'm not very I guess

943
00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:21,440
smart with the whole internal part of the guitar. So

944
00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:23,239
I mean, I had to have them check it out.

945
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:25,400
My thing was making my guitars making some weird sound.

946
00:41:26,079 --> 00:41:27,679
So he was like, yeah, that's some dirt and it's like,

947
00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:31,079
come to find out, you know, it's called dyslexic wiring somebody.

948
00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:33,840
Speaker 3: The person that I got it from, and it makes sense.

949
00:41:34,559 --> 00:41:36,480
Speaker 5: The person I got it from it was a little dyslexic,

950
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:41,000
you know, so all the wiring was just like it's

951
00:41:41,079 --> 00:41:43,400
backed up. It's like it's still weird, but it still works.

952
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:46,039
So it's just it's just what it is. But so

953
00:41:46,559 --> 00:41:48,519
I mean, big shout out to Guitars, thank you for

954
00:41:48,639 --> 00:41:50,960
looking out for me. Guys did an amazing job. We

955
00:41:51,039 --> 00:41:54,039
will be also doing a write up about our experience

956
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:56,760
with going to go see the Spot of Guitars. I mean,

957
00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:57,920
it just made me feel like you're a part of

958
00:41:57,920 --> 00:42:00,519
the family the moment that you walk in. So it's amazing.

959
00:42:00,599 --> 00:42:01,559
Big shout out to those guys.

960
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:04,840
Speaker 3: And we met them at a show. Was it was

961
00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:06,719

965
00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:13,159
Speaker 6: Yeah, but Paul did mentioned that they were. They were

966
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:15,039
one of the sponsors of the original swarm.

967
00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:15,960
Speaker 2: A couple of years ago.

968
00:42:16,039 --> 00:42:17,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, yeah, I think we were the first.

969
00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:22,400
Speaker 1: The first two was a yeah, might might have been, Yeah,

970
00:42:22,679 --> 00:42:23,079
might have been.

971
00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:24,000
Speaker 3: And that's what we love.

972
00:42:24,119 --> 00:42:26,119
Speaker 5: That's saying that being able to show that you can

973
00:42:26,199 --> 00:42:28,440
come around and work with anybody who is locally doing

974
00:42:28,599 --> 00:42:33,599
something like this like Stepsis, like you know, uh, everybody

975
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:37,079
in the sponsorship as well as the venue itself. Yeah,

976
00:42:37,199 --> 00:42:39,199
and we see how we all you could all work

977
00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:41,280
together and still make them an amazing show and have

978
00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:43,760
fun and not be so stressed out of pay to

979
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:47,559
play being on somebody else's time, like strict time was

980
00:42:47,679 --> 00:42:50,039
being like going to Blue Ridge like with us, literally

981
00:42:50,079 --> 00:42:52,639
we there was there was no venturing around, you know,

982
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:54,639
so we literally had to stay in spot and.

983
00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:56,480
Speaker 3: Wait before our time.

984
00:42:56,679 --> 00:42:58,559
Speaker 5: Just we didn't want you to be lost just so

985
00:42:58,679 --> 00:43:00,920
happen to get caught up with some fans and you know,

986
00:43:01,039 --> 00:43:01,880
waste too much time.

987
00:43:02,119 --> 00:43:04,679
Speaker 3: Yea. So it's just it's just it is what it is.

988
00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:06,760
We like what we're doing and we love what it is.

00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:16,679
Speaker 5: I'm in between bands. I'm working on trying to get

00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:20,400
my own one backup. Okay, okay, be able to be

994
00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:23,960
touring and traveling. I was doing it that when I uh,

995
00:43:24,079 --> 00:43:25,880
when we first initially started this, I was still doing

996
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:28,599
this with Legion of Solids as well as my band.

997
00:43:28,639 --> 00:43:30,440
It was it was a twofer to be able to

998
00:43:30,519 --> 00:43:34,679
help spread the word along the music community to every

999
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:37,719
other local band that no matter what state we went to,

1000
00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:39,719
because we were traveling. We used to go up come

1001
00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:43,239
up here to Ficiate Cantina and you know Hellstore, Maryland.

1002
00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:45,599

Speaker 5: Yes, he's another person who is very hardcore into the

1040
00:45:16,199 --> 00:45:18,880
the scene. He's actually a part of a mash team okay,

1041
00:45:19,039 --> 00:45:21,320
and like they actually go out and support just about

1042
00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:25,079
every band that's around the Central or Virginia area.

1043
00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:27,239

Speaker 3: It's inside the Icon crew.

1047
00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:34,920
Speaker 5: Like, we know quite a few people that are in

1048
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:37,400
the crew that we could, you know, reach out to

1049
00:45:37,519 --> 00:45:39,079
the help out and make it even better.

1050
00:45:40,039 --> 00:45:41,920
Speaker 6: If you have if you have been to Blue Ridge

1051
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:46,039
Rock Festival, Incarceration or Sonic Temple and have seen the

1052
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:53,440
bed sheet sign pit here flying between two two by

1053
00:45:53,679 --> 00:45:57,119
one by fours, that's either the Icon Pit Crew or

1054
00:45:57,239 --> 00:45:59,280
our good friends in the Hounds of helmash team.

1055
00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:02,840
Speaker 5: Okay, all right, so yeah, we we tryed Like I said,

1056
00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:04,719
we try to put ourselves out there as much as

1057
00:46:04,840 --> 00:46:06,800
far and as deep as we can't into the news community.

1058
00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:09,679
Let people know, like we have a spot straight strictly

1059
00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:13,239
for local and up and coming talent. Well, you don't

1060
00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:14,719
have to go fight through it. You don't have to.

1061
00:46:14,760 --> 00:46:16,280
If you don't want to upload it on YouTube, you

1062
00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:18,480
want to play it strictly through us, you can do

1063
00:46:18,599 --> 00:46:21,400
that that way. It saves you money in stress of

1064
00:46:21,679 --> 00:46:24,639
like how many numbers do we have today? Wilson, You

1065
00:46:24,679 --> 00:46:29,239
know what I'm saying exactly, Yeah, like who goes? I mean,

1066
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:32,000
don't get me wrong, I don't like looking at the incise,

1067
00:46:32,079 --> 00:46:35,199
but I do because you know, just for my own self.

1068
00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:38,719
But the thing about this, it is a confusing situation

1069
00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:41,639
to deal with in general, But why not you know

1070
00:46:41,679 --> 00:46:43,840
what I'm saying, It's worth it if you know that

1071
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:46,840
you can make it that much better for somebody's dreams

1072
00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:49,559
to come true, whether that dream just be one hundred

1073
00:46:49,559 --> 00:46:52,559
thousand people hear my music, you know, even if it

1074
00:46:52,679 --> 00:46:55,119
is through a playback. People saw all music and like

1075
00:46:55,199 --> 00:46:58,199
we we shared to big shout outs to Ireland metal heads.

1076
00:46:58,519 --> 00:47:01,119
They allow us coming to their private me and allow

1077
00:47:01,199 --> 00:47:04,000
me to share my my radio show over there where

1078
00:47:04,039 --> 00:47:06,679
they can come in and actuallyquest something from over there

1079
00:47:06,719 --> 00:47:09,639
because we don't know anything there, you know what I'm saying.

1080
00:47:09,639 --> 00:47:11,280
But we want to be international, so the only way

1081
00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:14,239
we can do that is actually pretty much dig ourselves

1082
00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:15,119
into wherever we can.

1083
00:47:15,440 --> 00:47:15,639
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1084
00:47:16,519 --> 00:47:18,719
