PipemanRadio speaks with Australian Band Wayside at Download XXIII Donington Park about their performance at the legendary music festival.

Melbourne alternative rock/post-hardcore band Wayside made a highly successful debut appearance at the UK's Download Festival in Donington Park. The trio performed early Sunday afternoon on the Dogtooth Stage.

Their festival appearance coincided with several major career milestones for the band:

  • Label Signing: They became the first Australian act to sign with Philadelphia-based indie label Memory Music, founded by Grammy-winning producer Will Yip.
  • New Music: To celebrate the signing, they dropped their new track, "Invisible Strings," which was recorded at Memory Music Studios.
  • Live Footage: You can watch their live performance and check out behind-the-scenes vlogs from their festival weekend on the official Wayside Online Instagram page.

00:00:04.639 --> 00:00:12.599
Hi, you love one too true for Wow, for you your.

2
00:00:19.679 --> 00:00:22.120
This is the pipemin here on the Adventures pipe Man

3
00:00:22.239 --> 00:00:24.280
W four c Y Radio, and I'm here with.

4
00:00:24.640 --> 00:00:25.960
I'm Easy from Wayside.

5
00:00:26.280 --> 00:00:27.600
I'm Tulmas from Wayside.

6
00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:28.320
Nice.

7
00:00:28.559 --> 00:00:31.079
You know I'm from Wayside too, but it's Wayside in

8
00:00:31.160 --> 00:00:31.800
New Jersey.

9
00:00:32.200 --> 00:00:36.039
Oh nice, So we already have a common bond.

10
00:00:36.399 --> 00:00:38.960
I don't know if it's the same, but I'll use

11
00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:44.399
I'll use it anyway. So tell our listeners a little

12
00:00:44.439 --> 00:00:47.560
bit about you guys as artists and not from a

13
00:00:47.719 --> 00:00:51.200
genre standpoint, because I hate that crap, because that boxes

14
00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:54.039
you guys in. I want I like hearing what the

15
00:00:54.159 --> 00:00:56.759
artists how they explain their music.

16
00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:04.280
Where three Piece from Melbourne, where I feel like we

17
00:01:04.719 --> 00:01:10.879
try to exist in a space that doesn't really that

18
00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:13.359
doesn't already exist in a sense, like we try to

19
00:01:13.400 --> 00:01:17.000
push like we're kind of heavy in a sense but

20
00:01:17.079 --> 00:01:19.400
also kind of truly like have a lot of light

21
00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:21.319
and shade at the same time to contrast that. So

22
00:01:21.359 --> 00:01:23.799
I feel like the music side of things is really heavy,

23
00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:27.159
but the vocal side is kind of contrasts and softens

24
00:01:27.159 --> 00:01:29.319
it a little bit, and it's like, yeah, probably brings

25
00:01:29.319 --> 00:01:31.159
like a bit of a unique soundscape.

26
00:01:31.280 --> 00:01:35.120
So yeah, my favorite word there is unique sick because

27
00:01:35.280 --> 00:01:38.599
nowadays you're like a lot of bands I find and metal,

28
00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:43.120
especially when all the subgenres and microgenres, it's like they

29
00:01:43.120 --> 00:01:46.480
have this formula because this is how you have to

30
00:01:46.519 --> 00:01:50.959
make this kind of metal. And I like it better

31
00:01:51.040 --> 00:01:54.519
when you like kind of blend genres and create something

32
00:01:54.519 --> 00:01:56.760
that nobody else is doing. I don't need to hear

33
00:01:56.959 --> 00:02:00.640
every band that's doing the same things to you a part.

34
00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:02.439
That's what I want, you know.

35
00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:06.480
I think we all bring really different inspirations to the

36
00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:09.439
table as well when it comes to songwriting and just

37
00:02:09.479 --> 00:02:14.919
like what we listen to as individuals. So yeah, I

38
00:02:14.919 --> 00:02:17.800
feel like you can hear that, especially in the new

39
00:02:17.919 --> 00:02:19.439
stuff that we're working on.

40
00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:23.560
Nice and you just dropped a new song, right.

41
00:02:23.719 --> 00:02:26.759
Yes, yes, literally like Wednesday.

42
00:02:26.680 --> 00:02:30.800
I know, like literally literally, So that's badass. And then

43
00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:34.520
here you are at download. What's it feel like to

44
00:02:34.520 --> 00:02:35.520
be here at download?

45
00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:35.960
Oh?

46
00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:39.360
It's crazy right well literally, like probably as far as

47
00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:40.400
you could get from her.

48
00:02:41.039 --> 00:02:44.400
So it's funny because I was talking earlier to somebody

49
00:02:44.919 --> 00:02:47.599
not having anything to do with you, you know, about

50
00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:51.560
how fricking for it is to go there, Like I'm

51
00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:54.599
a surfer, so of course every surfer in the world

52
00:02:54.639 --> 00:02:57.360
they want to go to Australia. And then like I

53
00:02:57.560 --> 00:03:01.080
lived in Bali for like two three months, I'm like,

54
00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:03.000
fuck me, that's a long flight.

55
00:03:03.199 --> 00:03:03.439
You know.

56
00:03:03.599 --> 00:03:06.120
It's like I love it over that side of the world,

57
00:03:06.199 --> 00:03:09.439
but it's like it takes ten years to get over there,

58
00:03:09.919 --> 00:03:10.159
you know.

59
00:03:11.159 --> 00:03:11.439
Yeah.

60
00:03:11.520 --> 00:03:14.560
I think like when we fly to America, we can

61
00:03:14.599 --> 00:03:17.199
fly the other way and there's a direct flight, but

62
00:03:17.719 --> 00:03:19.759
on the way here it's like a fourteen hour flight

63
00:03:19.800 --> 00:03:22.719
and then a seven hour flight back to back. And

64
00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:25.439
like the song that we were just talking about came

65
00:03:25.479 --> 00:03:27.759
out like while we had to organize it while we

66
00:03:27.759 --> 00:03:29.599
were in the air, like using the plane WiFi.

67
00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:31.240
Oh man, that's great.

68
00:03:31.479 --> 00:03:33.639
It was so stressful because we were trying to figure

69
00:03:33.639 --> 00:03:37.120
out the time zone at home, the time zone in Doha,

70
00:03:37.800 --> 00:03:39.719
the time zone in London where we were going, but

71
00:03:39.759 --> 00:03:41.879
then the time zone in Philly where our label is,

72
00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:45.240
and we were like scrambling, like the Wi fi kept

73
00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:47.639
dropping out, We're trying to put the teaser out, We're

74
00:03:47.639 --> 00:03:49.159
trying to do all the social assets.

75
00:03:49.240 --> 00:03:50.680
Everything was It was pretty.

76
00:03:50.360 --> 00:03:52.680
All And I do have to say because I used

77
00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:56.039
to have one of my radio stations I used to

78
00:03:56.120 --> 00:03:59.240
have in Australia because I have a lot of shows

79
00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:02.800
like Podka that broadcasts to have Australia with my network

80
00:04:03.719 --> 00:04:06.719
and it fucked with my head all the time, Mancause

81
00:04:07.280 --> 00:04:09.599
you know what really messages with my head the half

82
00:04:09.639 --> 00:04:10.719
hour time zone.

83
00:04:10.960 --> 00:04:13.280
Oh that's what I agree, that's that's out of it, Like.

84
00:04:13.240 --> 00:04:15.639
What the hell? Yeah, how am I supposed to know

85
00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:16.360
when that is?

86
00:04:16.480 --> 00:04:20.480
Yes, it's just it's just annoying. Yeah, it's just annoying.

87
00:04:20.759 --> 00:04:23.000
You know what One of my dreams is too, is

88
00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:27.920
I saw it on some kind of like reality show

89
00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:31.879
or something, those digouts you know where I'm talking about.

90
00:04:31.959 --> 00:04:35.000
It's not Melbourne, of course, but it's like out in

91
00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:38.040
the area where it's really really hot. So they do

92
00:04:38.120 --> 00:04:42.439
these houses underground and they call them digouts, so you're

93
00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:45.519
literally living underground. I don't remember where.

94
00:04:45.360 --> 00:04:47.600
It was, I don't I don't know if that is

95
00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:49.639
anyone who we're.

96
00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:50.800
From Australia, it's definitely not well.

97
00:04:50.920 --> 00:04:54.519
Yes, Julia is so big, and then like the difference

98
00:04:54.560 --> 00:04:58.319
of the climate between states is crazy. I'm from Brisbane originally.

99
00:04:58.399 --> 00:05:01.480
I moved to Melbourne about three years ago. And it's

100
00:05:01.519 --> 00:05:06.319
like tropical, crazy humid, crazy hot in Brisbane and then Melbourne,

101
00:05:06.319 --> 00:05:08.800
it's like you get like, especially at the bottom of

102
00:05:08.839 --> 00:05:10.759
Melbourne in a place called Warnable, you get like the

103
00:05:10.879 --> 00:05:12.279
Arctic breeze coming up.

104
00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:13.639
It's so cold.

105
00:05:14.199 --> 00:05:17.279
We have like a proper four seasons in Melbourne, but

106
00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:19.160
in other places they don't have that.

107
00:05:19.240 --> 00:05:20.759
It's just fucking hot all the time.

108
00:05:20.920 --> 00:05:23.240
So yeah, I get it too. That's why I said

109
00:05:23.560 --> 00:05:25.560
you might not even know where it is. Like some

110
00:05:25.639 --> 00:05:29.079
people think, oh, you're from Australia, you must know everywhere

111
00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:32.519
and know everybody you know, and like it's the same

112
00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:35.800
in the States where I'm from, Like every state first

113
00:05:35.839 --> 00:05:38.839
of all, should be another country because the people are

114
00:05:39.040 --> 00:05:42.519
totally different and the weather and the weather Like I

115
00:05:42.560 --> 00:05:44.480
live in South Florida now, but I grew up in

116
00:05:44.519 --> 00:05:47.000
New York and New Jersey and EIGHTIESZ was in LA.

117
00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:49.639
All three have very different.

118
00:05:49.319 --> 00:05:52.560
Climates massively and different cultures.

119
00:05:52.480 --> 00:05:53.480
One hundred percent.

120
00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:58.560
Like, yeah, Florida I'm not a fan of, but I

121
00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:02.079
do enough festivals and traveling that I get the hell

122
00:06:02.120 --> 00:06:05.439
out of there. But it is like it is kind

123
00:06:05.439 --> 00:06:08.399
of a culture shock, you know. And I tell people,

124
00:06:09.160 --> 00:06:11.600
if you're going to visit America for the first time.

125
00:06:12.480 --> 00:06:14.319
Don't go to Florida.

126
00:06:14.399 --> 00:06:20.319
And besides all the other reasons I have, because nobody's

127
00:06:20.360 --> 00:06:21.560
really from Florida.

128
00:06:22.439 --> 00:06:24.000
It's like the Mutt state.

129
00:06:24.480 --> 00:06:28.079
Everybody comes from every other state and it's very transient.

130
00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:32.680
So you could have a friend in Florida and one

131
00:06:32.759 --> 00:06:36.480
day they'll just be gone. They went back home, and

132
00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:38.959
it could be twenty five years later. Yeah, you know,

133
00:06:39.040 --> 00:06:42.639
and they don't say goodbye nothing, They just gone.

134
00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:42.959
Yeah.

135
00:06:42.959 --> 00:06:44.759
It's kind of like in Suntot how to say. It's

136
00:06:44.759 --> 00:06:47.439
like the retirement pilgrimage. Is you go to Florida or

137
00:06:47.439 --> 00:06:50.720
to retire, right and live that life.

138
00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:53.079
And you guys go to Bali to retire, is what

139
00:06:53.199 --> 00:06:53.839
I found out.

140
00:06:53.839 --> 00:06:56.199
Who has Bali's Yes, some would do that or that

141
00:06:56.240 --> 00:06:56.639
would put it.

142
00:06:57.639 --> 00:07:02.040
Yeah, I would like move their whole life into like

143
00:07:02.079 --> 00:07:04.680
a caravan and just drive around the country for ten years.

144
00:07:04.759 --> 00:07:05.120
Someone like that.

145
00:07:05.240 --> 00:07:06.720
Nice. You know what.

146
00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:11.040
It's funny because Americans the only thing they know about

147
00:07:11.079 --> 00:07:15.199
Tasmania is they think of the cartoon and the Tasmanian Devil.

148
00:07:16.160 --> 00:07:18.680
I don't know if you have that in Australia, but

149
00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:20.600
it's a famous cartoon.

150
00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:24.040
In the States Tasmanian devils actually look nothing like that

151
00:07:24.160 --> 00:07:26.519
character as well. They're really funny in real life. They're

152
00:07:26.560 --> 00:07:31.480
like kind of ugly. They're like cute in an ugly way.

153
00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:32.519
Extinct.

154
00:07:32.920 --> 00:07:35.000
They're not extinct, but they are endangered.

155
00:07:35.399 --> 00:07:38.360
I did see a show recently talking about them. I

156
00:07:38.399 --> 00:07:40.360
was like, now, that was pretty cool because we have

157
00:07:40.480 --> 00:07:43.199
some weird ideas of what the Tasmanian devil is. But

158
00:07:43.240 --> 00:07:46.000
they did explain why the cartoon is like that because

159
00:07:46.040 --> 00:07:47.600
of some of the things they do.

160
00:07:48.160 --> 00:07:51.720
Yeah, they make very distinct like noises and.

161
00:07:53.279 --> 00:07:55.160
Yeah. I mean I think in Australia we have the

162
00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:59.680
coolest native animals. They're just so unique and crazy.

163
00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:03.439
Including the one that ninety five percent of them have chlamydia.

164
00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:07.519
Oh Koala is is?

165
00:08:08.279 --> 00:08:11.839
I'm like, I always well ask Australia people, So how

166
00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:15.800
the hell are these animals getting chlamydia? I mean, I

167
00:08:15.800 --> 00:08:18.920
could see that in Florida because we got some sick

168
00:08:18.959 --> 00:08:20.720
people in Florida.

169
00:08:21.639 --> 00:08:23.079
I actually turn.

170
00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:26.000
I've never heard that that. It's funny.

171
00:08:26.399 --> 00:08:29.040
I know that, but I just I don't. I couldn't

172
00:08:29.079 --> 00:08:30.199
tell you, like how.

173
00:08:30.040 --> 00:08:33.960
It's spread so prolifically, like the koala population.

174
00:08:34.960 --> 00:08:35.799
They just want to fuck.

175
00:08:35.840 --> 00:08:38.279
I don't know, like, well, I'm just wondering if they're

176
00:08:38.279 --> 00:08:41.960
a part of Australia where like some of the Australians

177
00:08:42.000 --> 00:08:45.799
are a little weird and have and that's their kink

178
00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:47.799
is koalas.

179
00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:50.519
I don't think we know about that.

180
00:08:50.679 --> 00:08:54.200
I know, right, no comments. Maybe you should write a

181
00:08:54.240 --> 00:08:55.120
song about it.

182
00:08:56.399 --> 00:08:59.440
I think I would like to think that the Shons

183
00:08:59.480 --> 00:09:01.039
are weird, not that weird.

184
00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:06.279
Well, you know, it's funny like the women and probably

185
00:09:06.320 --> 00:09:09.120
you're not this way. But I had this maybe it's

186
00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:11.600
the older women, because I had this client that she

187
00:09:11.960 --> 00:09:14.799
said to me, She's like, you know, you Americans, you

188
00:09:14.840 --> 00:09:19.159
make such a big deal about sex women in Australia.

189
00:09:19.279 --> 00:09:22.720
We just do it for fun, not for a relationship,

190
00:09:23.240 --> 00:09:26.039
like kind of like how women talk about guys in

191
00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:30.200
the US. And so we get lots of weird stories

192
00:09:30.240 --> 00:09:33.840
over in America about Australia. And then of course the

193
00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:37.960
movie Point Break and some other band I talked to

194
00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:43.360
they were like it might have been Winston from Parkway Drive.

195
00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:48.879
I can't remember, but they were like, yeah, that's not

196
00:09:49.240 --> 00:09:52.559
the surf place, the one that they show in the movie.

197
00:09:53.159 --> 00:09:56.679
You know, that's I can't remember where that's based, but.

198
00:09:56.879 --> 00:09:57.440
They told me.

199
00:09:57.600 --> 00:10:02.039
I forgot, but they said that beach is not where

200
00:10:02.039 --> 00:10:03.200
the fifty foot waves.

201
00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:05.919
Yeah, okay, yeah, you know, I mean, yeah, I'm not

202
00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:10.720
sure where that's based or set. But there's so many

203
00:10:10.759 --> 00:10:13.759
surfaces in this said obviously because of course coastline is massive,

204
00:10:13.919 --> 00:10:16.480
but yeah, I'm not sure where that's set.

205
00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:17.000
I'm sorry.

206
00:10:17.120 --> 00:10:18.879
And here's a fun fact.

207
00:10:19.000 --> 00:10:23.960
Did you know that Florida and Australia are pretty much

208
00:10:24.679 --> 00:10:25.600
tied in.

209
00:10:27.080 --> 00:10:31.679
The most poisonous beans on Earth?

210
00:10:31.759 --> 00:10:34.919
Yea, you know, like where I live near the Everglades, like,

211
00:10:36.360 --> 00:10:39.080
there's many things that could kill you in a heartbeat.

212
00:10:39.159 --> 00:10:41.200
Yeah, it's just gated is everywhere.

213
00:10:41.600 --> 00:10:43.240
Yeah, well they're the easiest.

214
00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:44.639
Okay, like crocs.

215
00:10:44.679 --> 00:10:47.360
You gotta be worried about gaters. I've walked back there,

216
00:10:47.480 --> 00:10:50.399
didn't even move. But we have a we have banana

217
00:10:50.480 --> 00:10:54.240
spiders or like this big in the trees.

218
00:10:53.840 --> 00:10:56.799
And they'll drop on your Oh my god. Yeah, we

219
00:10:56.879 --> 00:10:58.159
have all.

220
00:10:57.960 --> 00:11:01.919
These things in the Everglades that if they bite you,

221
00:11:01.919 --> 00:11:03.000
you die.

222
00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:06.200
Like almost instantly, kind of like Australia.

223
00:11:06.440 --> 00:11:07.840
Australia, That's what I'm saying.

224
00:11:07.960 --> 00:11:11.480
Yeah, we were driving through, well, we played in Brighton

225
00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:14.200
the other day, and then we we came here to

226
00:11:14.279 --> 00:11:17.440
play today obviously, and we were driving past and the

227
00:11:17.720 --> 00:11:20.120
you know, the rolling hills of the English countryside is

228
00:11:20.159 --> 00:11:22.320
so pretty, and I was just like, one of my

229
00:11:22.360 --> 00:11:24.519
favorite things about England is the fact that you can

230
00:11:24.639 --> 00:11:26.960
just go for a walk in the bush.

231
00:11:26.759 --> 00:11:28.120
And not worry about dying.

232
00:11:28.320 --> 00:11:29.720
Yeah, nothing will kill you.

233
00:11:29.960 --> 00:11:33.399
It's so sick, like I would be outside all the time.

234
00:11:34.240 --> 00:11:34.440
Right.

235
00:11:35.080 --> 00:11:38.600
We have we have like the brown recluses, black widows.

236
00:11:39.320 --> 00:11:42.639
We have ten million snakes or poisonous tell you what

237
00:11:42.759 --> 00:11:45.360
else to where I live in Florida, I love on.

238
00:11:45.559 --> 00:11:49.000
I live on this small Barrier island, so I'm away

239
00:11:49.039 --> 00:11:49.879
from the crazies.

240
00:11:51.600 --> 00:11:58.120
It is. It is, thanks for breaking my character, but.

241
00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:02.159
It is a destination and for people all over the

242
00:12:02.159 --> 00:12:07.039
world for snorkeling and scuba because around my island it's

243
00:12:07.080 --> 00:12:10.720
the second best reef in the world, next to the

244
00:12:10.759 --> 00:12:11.279
Great Beery.

245
00:12:12.120 --> 00:12:16.000
Yeah okay, like it is comparable stunning, yeah, yeah, you know.

246
00:12:16.159 --> 00:12:19.000
And it's insane, like it's right in my backyard, like

247
00:12:19.039 --> 00:12:20.759
I look out my window, got it.

248
00:12:20.960 --> 00:12:21.799
Yeah.

249
00:12:21.240 --> 00:12:24.440
Yeah. In Victoria where we live, which is the state

250
00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:28.919
where Melbourne is, we're pretty inner city, so we don't

251
00:12:28.919 --> 00:12:32.840
really experience any snakes or spiders, But where is he

252
00:12:33.039 --> 00:12:36.840
grow up? Uh, you gotta be you gotta be careful,

253
00:12:36.960 --> 00:12:40.159
like sometimes like putting on a shoe or like like

254
00:12:40.519 --> 00:12:42.759
opening your toilet state or something, because.

255
00:12:42.639 --> 00:12:45.039
I seriously remember them like teaching us in school to

256
00:12:45.080 --> 00:12:47.720
look inside our shoes first before we put them on.

257
00:12:48.559 --> 00:12:50.879
I go to Costa Rica line, they tell you that

258
00:12:50.919 --> 00:12:54.320
because you'll wake up in more scorpions in your shoe.

259
00:12:54.879 --> 00:12:57.240
So like thank you, yeah exactly.

260
00:12:57.279 --> 00:13:00.919
We also have these toads that if you're dog licks it,

261
00:13:01.000 --> 00:13:02.399
they die within a half an hour.

262
00:13:02.519 --> 00:13:04.440
We have them. Are they cane turds?

263
00:13:05.879 --> 00:13:10.039
Boufo boufo toads or boo foo something like that.

264
00:13:10.159 --> 00:13:13.799
We have these cane turds and they were an introduced species.

265
00:13:13.960 --> 00:13:16.320
I actually can't remember when they introduced them, but it

266
00:13:16.440 --> 00:13:20.799
was to tackle this problem of cane beetles ruining like

267
00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:24.000
cane harvests. So they're like, oh, we'll introduce this species

268
00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:26.039
of turd to eat the cane beetle. And it was

269
00:13:26.120 --> 00:13:29.759
just like one of the greatest ecological failures of all

270
00:13:29.840 --> 00:13:34.120
time because the toads didn't actually fix the problem and

271
00:13:34.159 --> 00:13:36.360
then they just like multiply it at a rate nobody

272
00:13:36.399 --> 00:13:38.799
predicted and then they kind of like ruined all of

273
00:13:38.840 --> 00:13:40.759
the wildlife and all of the ecosystems.

274
00:13:40.919 --> 00:13:43.039
Well, that's what we do in Florida. But not because

275
00:13:43.039 --> 00:13:45.919
we're trying to fix anything. It's because we're stupid. Like

276
00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:50.000
we have invasion and iguanas that are not indigenous to

277
00:13:50.039 --> 00:13:54.519
Florida and they just ruin everything. Now in the Everglades,

278
00:13:54.600 --> 00:13:57.559
we have pythons because people buy it as a pet,

279
00:13:58.240 --> 00:14:00.919
flush it down the toilet and up in the everglades.

280
00:14:00.919 --> 00:14:03.799
And now they're trying to eat alligators. And now I

281
00:14:03.919 --> 00:14:08.600
just found out there's these Asian eels that are in

282
00:14:08.679 --> 00:14:13.480
our everglades that will kill you. And we have anaconda's

283
00:14:13.559 --> 00:14:18.000
now too, Like, what the fuck is wrong with humans?

284
00:14:18.159 --> 00:14:22.399
That's crazy. It's just mentaldas terrifying.

285
00:14:22.559 --> 00:14:24.799
They are so oh yeah that I don't want to see.

286
00:14:24.919 --> 00:14:27.200
I think I would just pretend to die straight away.

287
00:14:27.279 --> 00:14:29.639
Yeah, and totally you know what else I don't want

288
00:14:29.679 --> 00:14:32.639
to see. And this is another familiar thing between Australia

289
00:14:32.639 --> 00:14:36.200
and Florida. Great watch hawk more than that, but yes,

290
00:14:36.399 --> 00:14:40.240
you're on the right path. First of all, New Samurna

291
00:14:40.279 --> 00:14:43.120
Beach has more shark attacks than anywhere in the world.

292
00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:47.159
And it's because there's like a black hole in the ocean.

293
00:14:47.200 --> 00:14:50.519
There is one of the reasons. So the really big

294
00:14:50.559 --> 00:14:53.519
sharks are down below and come up terrifying and it's

295
00:14:53.600 --> 00:14:56.159
real murky, and that's when they bite you because they

296
00:14:56.159 --> 00:15:00.000
can't see. But we have I'm not even as afraid

297
00:15:00.159 --> 00:15:03.279
of great whites, So we have them all. We have

298
00:15:03.320 --> 00:15:06.360
great whites, black tips, we have all the ones that

299
00:15:06.399 --> 00:15:10.240
are harmless. We have hammer heads. We have bull sharks.

300
00:15:10.519 --> 00:15:12.000
Those are the ones I'm scared of.

301
00:15:12.120 --> 00:15:12.759
A bullshok.

302
00:15:13.000 --> 00:15:13.879
Yeah, bull sharks.

303
00:15:14.000 --> 00:15:14.799
We have bull sharks.

304
00:15:14.840 --> 00:15:15.000
Here.

305
00:15:15.000 --> 00:15:17.519
The problem with bullsharks. I'll tell you why you should

306
00:15:17.559 --> 00:15:18.519
be scared of bull sharks.

307
00:15:18.559 --> 00:15:20.600
They live in like the shallowest water, right.

308
00:15:20.919 --> 00:15:23.080
That's not only that great whites.

309
00:15:23.159 --> 00:15:25.440
If they bite you, it's by mistake because they think

310
00:15:25.480 --> 00:15:28.120
you're a seal. Once they taste you, they realize you're

311
00:15:28.120 --> 00:15:32.840
not food, so they go away. Usually bull sharks are

312
00:15:32.879 --> 00:15:37.120
just assholes. They just do it, and they're super aggressive.

313
00:15:37.799 --> 00:15:40.679
Watch a video they take. First of all, they can

314
00:15:40.720 --> 00:15:45.240
also go in any water, so I go like kayaking

315
00:15:45.320 --> 00:15:47.799
at the park. They can be there, they can be

316
00:15:47.840 --> 00:15:50.600
in the inner coastal, they can go in fresh water, brackish,

317
00:15:50.639 --> 00:15:56.639
war salt water. They actually attack hippos in Africa in

318
00:15:56.759 --> 00:15:59.919
a river, like fuck, those.

319
00:15:59.759 --> 00:16:03.960
Two hippos are pretty high in the food chain, right.

320
00:16:03.840 --> 00:16:06.159
Like oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, if you fuck with hippo,

321
00:16:07.159 --> 00:16:08.000
yeah exactly.

322
00:16:08.039 --> 00:16:11.080
The people think they're like these sweet things. No, no, no, no.

323
00:16:11.679 --> 00:16:14.679
So we have a shark migration because change of weather,

324
00:16:16.200 --> 00:16:19.919
and you know, ignorance is bliss because when you're down

325
00:16:19.960 --> 00:16:22.159
there and you're surfing, they're there.

326
00:16:22.240 --> 00:16:22.960
You don't even know.

327
00:16:24.000 --> 00:16:26.320
But I watch from my balcony and they'll be like

328
00:16:26.639 --> 00:16:30.200
thousands of sharks in the water during the migration, like

329
00:16:30.279 --> 00:16:32.519
and I'm like, oh, I wish I didn't know that

330
00:16:33.360 --> 00:16:35.720
last festival. Like a lot of times when I do

331
00:16:35.840 --> 00:16:38.840
festivals or I get off tour, I'll just get on

332
00:16:38.879 --> 00:16:41.639
my paddle board and I'll go way out into the

333
00:16:41.639 --> 00:16:44.720
ocean just like lie down and like chill and get

334
00:16:44.720 --> 00:16:47.840
away from the world. Last time I did that, I

335
00:16:47.879 --> 00:16:49.679
was sitting on my board. I looked down in like

336
00:16:49.960 --> 00:16:53.159
five bull sharks swim right under my paddle board. Oh

337
00:16:53.240 --> 00:16:55.720
my god, I'm like, might be time to go back

338
00:16:55.720 --> 00:16:56.320
to shore now.

339
00:16:56.639 --> 00:16:58.120
Oh that's so scary.

340
00:16:58.679 --> 00:16:59.799
Yeah, that's so scary.

341
00:16:59.799 --> 00:17:02.519
Big. If you're like paddling on the board, you look.

342
00:17:02.440 --> 00:17:07.440
Like a total Yeah, yeah, yeah.

343
00:17:05.839 --> 00:17:07.920
I'm assuming you have to know all about like what

344
00:17:07.960 --> 00:17:09.599
to do in this situation is given that you're been

345
00:17:09.680 --> 00:17:10.519
surfing your whole life.

346
00:17:10.640 --> 00:17:14.200
So yeah, it doesn't It doesn't help though, because you.

347
00:17:15.680 --> 00:17:18.000
Know what you should do, but in the moment, you

348
00:17:18.039 --> 00:17:20.200
don't know how you're going to react until you're used

349
00:17:20.200 --> 00:17:20.519
to it.

350
00:17:21.119 --> 00:17:22.960
You know, they say, punch them.

351
00:17:23.000 --> 00:17:25.960
I'm thinking myself if somebody, if I was a shark

352
00:17:26.000 --> 00:17:29.720
and I got punched, you're fucking gonna die. Yeah, Okay,

353
00:17:29.839 --> 00:17:32.839
Like I don't really I don't really see that me

354
00:17:33.000 --> 00:17:36.119
sitting there. I don't even think I would think about it,

355
00:17:36.200 --> 00:17:38.200
like like you wouldn't know what to do.

356
00:17:38.440 --> 00:17:41.200
Like, well, apparently like it stuns them, right because they're

357
00:17:41.240 --> 00:17:42.160
not expecting.

358
00:17:41.799 --> 00:17:44.240
And they get scared and swim away. But it would

359
00:17:44.240 --> 00:17:46.119
be so hard to see a shark and.

360
00:17:46.119 --> 00:17:49.000
Just be like, imagine if you miss oh my god,

361
00:17:49.039 --> 00:17:51.599
like you got to punch them, and you miss them, they.

362
00:17:51.440 --> 00:17:53.200
Move out of the way and then they then.

363
00:17:53.119 --> 00:17:53.720
Your leg's gone.

364
00:17:53.880 --> 00:17:54.680
Yeah totally.

365
00:17:55.079 --> 00:18:00.680
So anyway, I wonder if your band played music for them,

366
00:18:00.920 --> 00:18:03.039
it would soothe the savage beast.

367
00:18:03.559 --> 00:18:04.599
Maybe potentially.

368
00:18:04.759 --> 00:18:09.400
I think it depends on the sharks individual personality and

369
00:18:09.440 --> 00:18:10.839
what songs they like.

370
00:18:11.359 --> 00:18:13.240
How a flute can kind of like get a snake,

371
00:18:13.599 --> 00:18:16.279
get a snake to just stop moving, right, Maybe maybe

372
00:18:16.359 --> 00:18:18.079
we'll figure out a sound it just makes a shark.

373
00:18:18.200 --> 00:18:21.319
Just like so, if we were if one of your

374
00:18:21.559 --> 00:18:26.039
songs you used to tame a shark or stop them

375
00:18:26.039 --> 00:18:27.599
from buying you, which song would it?

376
00:18:27.720 --> 00:18:28.319
Would you pick?

377
00:18:28.559 --> 00:18:37.440
Question? I would assume it'd be something soothing. So do

378
00:18:37.480 --> 00:18:40.400
we have any soothing songs? One sixteen?

379
00:18:42.759 --> 00:18:44.880
The end of one sixteen might be a bit too

380
00:18:44.960 --> 00:18:46.920
much for it, maybe like asymmetry or something.

381
00:18:47.000 --> 00:18:49.119
Yeah, I say, yeah, we have a song called Asymmetry

382
00:18:49.119 --> 00:18:50.960
of them. It's nice, slow.

383
00:18:50.559 --> 00:18:53.319
And Okay, We've got a couple that were like working

384
00:18:53.400 --> 00:18:55.920
on that aren't done yet, that are, like I reckon,

385
00:18:55.920 --> 00:18:57.200
a bit more shark friendly.

386
00:18:57.440 --> 00:18:59.000
So we just tell the sharks to hold off for

387
00:18:59.039 --> 00:19:01.240
like six months while we finished those demos in there.

388
00:19:01.720 --> 00:19:04.880
I'm gonna promote that, Okay, So from now on, if

389
00:19:04.960 --> 00:19:09.480
you are afraid of sharks, you need to connect with

390
00:19:09.599 --> 00:19:12.720
Wayside and you need to check out all their new

391
00:19:12.839 --> 00:19:16.720
music that's coming out. And by the way, you also

392
00:19:16.799 --> 00:19:19.359
have to buy their merch or else I'm gonna tell

393
00:19:19.400 --> 00:19:22.720
the sharks to bite your ass ap.

394
00:19:22.640 --> 00:19:24.160
Preach it, absolutely right.

395
00:19:24.319 --> 00:19:27.680
Absolutely, So, speaking of that, tell everybody how to connect

396
00:19:27.759 --> 00:19:31.759
with you on socials by your merch because otherwise they're

397
00:19:31.799 --> 00:19:34.240
not getting back to Australia if you don't buy their merch.

398
00:19:34.400 --> 00:19:36.480
Yeah, we're gonna have to swim back with all the

399
00:19:36.480 --> 00:19:40.279
sharks otherwise. So uh, I guess like Instagram is probably

400
00:19:40.279 --> 00:19:44.440
where we're of the most active. I handle is at

401
00:19:44.519 --> 00:19:47.960
wayside online, that's and that's where the link will live

402
00:19:48.039 --> 00:19:50.319
where all that merch stores will be across the world.

403
00:19:52.880 --> 00:19:55.039
But yeah, I guess like we have TikTok and Facebook

404
00:19:55.079 --> 00:19:55.440
as well.

405
00:19:55.640 --> 00:19:59.079
Yeah, wayside online on both of those as well. And yeah,

406
00:19:59.119 --> 00:20:01.759
we put the link to our different march tours in

407
00:20:01.839 --> 00:20:04.480
different territories in our Instagram buyer.

408
00:20:04.759 --> 00:20:05.240
Yeah.

409
00:20:05.319 --> 00:20:05.960
Nice.
