00:00:04.620 --> 00:00:19.769
Hey, you're listening to The Adventure on W4CY Radio. This

2
00:00:19.870 --> 00:00:22.309
is the Pipe Man here on The Adventure's Pipe Man

3
00:00:22.350 --> 00:00:25.820
W4CY Radio, and I'm here with... Alex Ovianova.

4
00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:29.289
Poet. And Felix from Villanova.

5
00:00:29.969 --> 00:00:34.450
Welcome to Louder Than Life, man. And I'm so happy

6
00:00:34.469 --> 00:00:36.710
you're here with me right now because I think you've

7
00:00:36.729 --> 00:00:39.210
made it cool down a little bit. This is the

8
00:00:39.270 --> 00:00:43.520
coolest I've felt all day. So, man, it's been brutally

9
00:00:43.579 --> 00:00:46.460
hot here. Like, I always have been saying this all day.

10
00:00:46.539 --> 00:00:49.560
My heart's out to artists and the dedication you have

11
00:00:49.619 --> 00:00:52.719
to play in this heat because it's kind of brutal

12
00:00:52.759 --> 00:00:54.880
to get out there and give it your all on stage.

13
00:00:55.659 --> 00:00:58.280
when it's this hot, so thank you for that, first

14
00:00:58.320 --> 00:00:58.600
of all.

15
00:00:59.259 --> 00:01:02.679
It was very hot indeed. Yeah, it's like, what did

16
00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:03.020
you say?

17
00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:06.250
He said it was very hot indeed, like how hot

18
00:01:06.290 --> 00:01:06.849
it is here.

19
00:01:07.010 --> 00:01:09.989
I agree. Kentucky sun, it's like, I don't know, it's

20
00:01:10.129 --> 00:01:12.069
like frying us. Don't know.

21
00:01:13.250 --> 00:01:15.609
And tell all the listeners where you guys are from.

22
00:01:16.709 --> 00:01:19.069
Where are you guys from? We're from Berlin, Germany.

23
00:01:19.730 --> 00:01:22.049
Yeah, Berlin, Germany based.

24
00:01:23.430 --> 00:01:27.400
It's much, much colder than here.

25
00:01:29.180 --> 00:01:29.400
Same.

26
00:01:30.159 --> 00:01:32.239
I agree. Last time I was in Berlin, it was

27
00:01:32.340 --> 00:01:35.920
in January and it was cold. But I love that city.

28
00:01:36.620 --> 00:01:40.859
I think everybody should visit Berlin because we all have

29
00:01:40.900 --> 00:01:43.859
this image of what Berlin is because of what happened.

30
00:01:44.659 --> 00:01:48.329
And I went there. And it was nothing what I imagined.

31
00:01:48.349 --> 00:01:50.870
It was like one of the coolest towns on earth

32
00:01:50.950 --> 00:01:55.599
and the music scene is so cool there. Tell us

33
00:01:55.659 --> 00:01:58.700
how it all started for you guys to get into music.

34
00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:02.780
Like getting into music in general or like how the

35
00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:04.019
band started? Both.

36
00:02:04.340 --> 00:02:07.840
Let's do both. Both, okay. Um.

37
00:02:09.210 --> 00:02:11.759
I think, like, this is, by the way, like, this

38
00:02:11.780 --> 00:02:14.340
is Paul. He's my brother. So we grew up together.

39
00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:17.379
Nice. And you still like each other?

40
00:02:17.990 --> 00:02:18.530
Nah.

41
00:02:18.870 --> 00:02:20.810
But we're professionals.

42
00:02:20.849 --> 00:02:21.150
You know.

43
00:02:23.789 --> 00:02:25.610
Now, we grew up in a household with a lot

44
00:02:25.650 --> 00:02:31.780
of music because our dad, he's a big... Big Beatles fan, Queen,

45
00:02:32.659 --> 00:02:38.939
Michael Jackson. So we've been surrounded with music most of

46
00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:44.500
the time, which, I don't know, is something you pick

47
00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:48.699
up at some point and be like, okay, what's that sound?

48
00:02:48.759 --> 00:02:51.120
What's that sound? I want to know what it is.

49
00:02:51.560 --> 00:02:54.340
So I ended up playing the guitar. He ended up

50
00:02:54.379 --> 00:03:00.770
playing drums because I made him to. Because it's always

51
00:03:00.810 --> 00:03:07.000
the same. And at some point, like we grew up

52
00:03:08.909 --> 00:03:11.770
We didn't grow up in Berlin, we grew up in

53
00:03:11.810 --> 00:03:18.909
the southwest of Germany. A little village, nothing's going on there,

54
00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:24.139
no musicians. So I decided to move to Berlin.

55
00:03:23.740 --> 00:03:25.020
To make music.

56
00:03:25.099 --> 00:03:28.139
So I asked Paul, do you want to join me

57
00:03:28.340 --> 00:03:32.909
and play drums to start a band? Yeah, and he

58
00:03:33.590 --> 00:03:37.270
moved along with me and we kind of started from

59
00:03:37.330 --> 00:03:43.050
there in Berlin, just looking for musicians to join us.

60
00:03:46.069 --> 00:03:46.750
They found me.

61
00:03:47.400 --> 00:03:48.349
And then they found you.

62
00:03:48.379 --> 00:03:49.939
And now we're playing Louder Than Life.

63
00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:53.879
And it's all thanks to him, right? Because you didn't

64
00:03:53.900 --> 00:03:55.979
play Louder Than Life until they found him.

65
00:03:56.659 --> 00:03:57.840
Yes, it's all thanks to me.

66
00:03:59.379 --> 00:04:01.520
Please thank me. Say thank you, Alex.

67
00:04:02.099 --> 00:04:02.419
Thanks.

68
00:04:03.520 --> 00:04:07.159
Yes. What was that first concert you went to that

69
00:04:07.199 --> 00:04:10.000
you were like, wow, that's my music?

70
00:04:10.030 --> 00:04:12.509
Can you say it again?

71
00:04:12.710 --> 00:04:16.050
What's the first concert you went to that you were like, wow,

72
00:04:16.110 --> 00:04:21.769
that's my music? I love that. Motorhead. Nice. There you go.

73
00:04:22.930 --> 00:04:26.139
For me, it was probably Die Erste.

74
00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:27.259
It's a German band.

75
00:04:27.660 --> 00:04:28.279
Okay, cool.

76
00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:32.069
Schrei nach Liebe.

77
00:04:33.069 --> 00:04:33.649
It's so good.

78
00:04:34.589 --> 00:04:35.170
It's amazing.

79
00:04:35.189 --> 00:04:38.230
Yes, I think so. Yeah.

80
00:04:39.410 --> 00:04:40.060
Yeah, I agree.

81
00:04:40.129 --> 00:04:40.449
I agree.

82
00:04:40.500 --> 00:04:46.160
Good song. No, I'd say... I actually... I mean, we've.

83
00:04:45.980 --> 00:04:49.259
Been to local shows, which is great, which is cool.

84
00:04:49.939 --> 00:04:51.889
But I can remember, like, I had this.

85
00:04:54.089 --> 00:04:57.449
Like... a bit unusual like in the metal space but

86
00:04:57.709 --> 00:05:00.089
I had this Mumford & Sons gig.

87
00:05:01.800 --> 00:05:03.980
And it's something that I.

88
00:05:05.379 --> 00:05:08.740
Haven't felt that before with like a live concert where

89
00:05:08.759 --> 00:05:12.199
I got like goosebumps all over my body where I

90
00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:15.410
was like I like the energy and I would like

91
00:05:15.449 --> 00:05:20.689
to transfer some energy like from our music to the

92
00:05:20.709 --> 00:05:25.959
crowd as well in that way so Yeah, that's, which

93
00:05:26.060 --> 00:05:29.459
is something, I mean, it's not considered metal in any way,

94
00:05:29.540 --> 00:05:33.420
but it's like, for me, it's been always about, like, energy. Yeah.

95
00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:35.060
Like, especially, like, metal.

96
00:05:36.750 --> 00:05:41.430
And, yeah, so that's been a big, big.

97
00:05:41.290 --> 00:05:43.329
Concert for me, actually.

98
00:05:43.490 --> 00:05:47.689
What's ironic about that is the other Danny Wimmer Festival

99
00:05:48.209 --> 00:05:54.129
here at the same venue is Bourbon and Beyond. And

100
00:05:54.209 --> 00:05:59.350
Mumford & Sons is playing there. Like, so that's kind

101
00:05:59.370 --> 00:06:00.709
of wild that you said that.

102
00:06:00.769 --> 00:06:03.769
Yeah, it's kind of wild. What's happening right now?

103
00:06:04.189 --> 00:06:05.250
Can you feel it?

104
00:06:05.949 --> 00:06:06.509
I know, right?

105
00:06:07.329 --> 00:06:09.589
Danny Wimmer, let us play before Mumford.

106
00:06:09.319 --> 00:06:12.649
& Sons, please. Yeah, see, that's what we have to

107
00:06:12.689 --> 00:06:16.509
tell Danny. You should be playing both festivals. You know?

108
00:06:17.790 --> 00:06:20.689
And then you'll go on tour with Mumford & Sons and,

109
00:06:20.769 --> 00:06:21.810
you know, there you go.

110
00:06:22.829 --> 00:06:23.329
So....

111
00:06:24.839 --> 00:06:28.079
Tell me about what you have going on after Louder

112
00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:31.199
Than Life that people have to look out for and

113
00:06:32.019 --> 00:06:35.399
what they should check in your socials and new music

114
00:06:35.560 --> 00:06:40.370
and gigs that you're doing because you're here at Louder

115
00:06:40.389 --> 00:06:43.149
Than Life but you got a lot more coming out

116
00:06:43.170 --> 00:06:44.709
that I think people need to know about.

117
00:06:46.689 --> 00:06:50.420
People can still check out our album Hit It which

118
00:06:50.600 --> 00:06:56.550
is always available and there are always people who haven't

119
00:06:56.589 --> 00:07:00.870
heard it so check out the album. We're on tour

120
00:07:00.930 --> 00:07:06.329
with ERA right now so we will continuing the tour

121
00:07:06.889 --> 00:07:12.740
after Louder Than Life and we have like one headline

122
00:07:12.819 --> 00:07:20.389
show ahead of us on the East Coast on the Yes, no,

123
00:07:20.430 --> 00:07:22.149
West Coast, on the West Coast, on the West Coast.

124
00:07:23.589 --> 00:07:26.350
And Aftershock Festival as well.

125
00:07:26.509 --> 00:07:28.269
Well, I'll get to see you there too.

126
00:07:28.439 --> 00:07:31.339
Yeah, and I think one thing that is important, there's

127
00:07:31.399 --> 00:07:34.819
no new music coming up right now, but maybe we

128
00:07:34.839 --> 00:07:38.379
try to... open up the brand a little bit, you know,

129
00:07:38.459 --> 00:07:40.339
start some live streams. I know that I would like

130
00:07:40.379 --> 00:07:44.029
to really show some other like hobbies of mine. Like

131
00:07:44.069 --> 00:07:46.769
I'm really big into hobby horsing, which is a big

132
00:07:46.810 --> 00:07:48.430
passion of mine. I would love to do some hobby

133
00:07:48.470 --> 00:07:52.290
horsing live streams. And I know that Paul also would

134
00:07:52.329 --> 00:07:55.240
like to start writing for his football magazine, but in German.

135
00:07:55.259 --> 00:07:56.800
So like look out for that for sure.

136
00:07:57.220 --> 00:07:57.600
Nice.

137
00:07:58.019 --> 00:08:02.899
So how did you get into the hobbies that you're into?

138
00:08:03.459 --> 00:08:06.379
Oh, it's just like, hobby horsing is like where you

139
00:08:06.490 --> 00:08:07.629
ride on a horse but you do it on a

140
00:08:07.649 --> 00:08:09.189
stick instead of a horse, and like a horse is

141
00:08:09.209 --> 00:08:11.389
very expensive, right? So like we didn't come up like that,

142
00:08:11.430 --> 00:08:12.410
we don't have that kind of money.

143
00:08:12.430 --> 00:08:13.029
Right.

144
00:08:13.189 --> 00:08:15.310
Like, so, you know, you gotta find ways to live

145
00:08:15.350 --> 00:08:17.949
out your passion, express yourself differently than music, so like,

146
00:08:17.980 --> 00:08:18.279
you know?

147
00:08:18.300 --> 00:08:19.000
I agree.

148
00:08:19.040 --> 00:08:22.379
You'll find a way. I used to ride real horses.

149
00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:25.879
I'm not kidding, so I have no respect for this man.

150
00:08:26.490 --> 00:08:27.509
Doing hobby horsing.

151
00:08:28.170 --> 00:08:30.209
But I won't let that affect me to be fair.

152
00:08:30.439 --> 00:08:32.779
I'll just do myself and that's it.

153
00:08:33.379 --> 00:08:37.179
Well and you know to his point you know maybe

154
00:08:37.259 --> 00:08:41.000
he is the better one because he's not being a

155
00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:44.740
pain in the behind to the horse. So there you go.

156
00:08:44.759 --> 00:08:47.220
I'm more flexible. I can do it wherever.

157
00:08:47.740 --> 00:08:51.500
Exactly. He could go around louder than life on his

158
00:08:51.539 --> 00:08:52.100
hobby horse.

159
00:08:52.159 --> 00:08:54.409
He actually, he's so proud of it, he wanted to

160
00:08:54.470 --> 00:08:56.190
show how he does it, actually.

161
00:08:56.370 --> 00:08:56.980
You should bring it on.

162
00:08:56.990 --> 00:09:01.320
You want to show the people how he does it?

163
00:09:01.500 --> 00:09:04.120
I don't have the hobby horse with me. It's in

164
00:09:04.159 --> 00:09:04.659
the trailer.

165
00:09:05.059 --> 00:09:08.679
Well, wait a minute, though. You should be using the

166
00:09:08.720 --> 00:09:11.179
hobby horse in your live shows.

167
00:09:11.500 --> 00:09:12.970
I think you have to keep it separate, you know

168
00:09:12.990 --> 00:09:13.470
what I mean?

169
00:09:13.639 --> 00:09:15.419
That's the thing, like, with music, it used to be

170
00:09:15.470 --> 00:09:17.450
a hobby, and now it's more of a job, and

171
00:09:17.470 --> 00:09:20.429
I really want, like, to keep some parts of my

172
00:09:20.490 --> 00:09:23.470
private life, like, sacred, so it's just, like, for my enjoyment, really.

173
00:09:24.370 --> 00:09:26.230
And so would you say if you were to pick

174
00:09:26.269 --> 00:09:30.809
your favorite hobby or passion, is it riding regular horses,

175
00:09:30.950 --> 00:09:32.169
or is there something else?

176
00:09:33.070 --> 00:09:36.990
Used to be riding regular horses um i think it's

177
00:09:37.070 --> 00:09:43.940
something else i'm actually i'm a world-class skateboarder i can

178
00:09:44.220 --> 00:09:45.279
do kickflips and.

179
00:09:45.159 --> 00:09:47.620
Stuff now you're speaking my language.

180
00:09:47.960 --> 00:09:51.330
Um or like like handstand like with one hand on

181
00:09:51.350 --> 00:09:54.769
the board and stuff like this i'm yeah i'm i'm

182
00:09:54.809 --> 00:09:55.649
good with that.

183
00:09:55.769 --> 00:09:57.549
So i'll show it but like the the board is

184
00:09:57.590 --> 00:09:59.769
in the trailer right now so you can't do right now.

185
00:09:59.769 --> 00:10:02.169
I have three boards. I have my trick board. I

186
00:10:02.570 --> 00:10:05.100
have a long board and I also have a stick

187
00:10:05.840 --> 00:10:08.740
That is for it's like as if you're paddle boarding

188
00:10:08.820 --> 00:10:13.600
on the long board and it's a totally different workout Yeah, yeah,

189
00:10:13.879 --> 00:10:16.960
it's a totally different workout. Like it's a full body

190
00:10:17.000 --> 00:10:21.279
workout and then my newest one is is a surfskate,

191
00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:26.259
and that one is wild, because I surf, okay, and

192
00:10:26.299 --> 00:10:29.049
I got this thing, and I've been skateboarding since I'm

193
00:10:29.070 --> 00:10:33.470
like 12, and I never wear a helmet, I never

194
00:10:33.509 --> 00:10:37.460
wear pads, I got on it, and I ate shit,

195
00:10:38.059 --> 00:10:39.940
and I was talking at my door, I'm like, yeah,

196
00:10:40.789 --> 00:10:44.029
I think maybe for this board, I should wear a

197
00:10:44.070 --> 00:10:45.379
helmet and pads.

198
00:10:45.740 --> 00:10:48.620
But we have to make sure kids don't wear helmets

199
00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:49.600
on skateboards.

200
00:10:49.799 --> 00:10:50.139
Don't.

201
00:10:50.539 --> 00:10:57.110
Never. I never did. Like, come on. But yeah, have

202
00:10:57.149 --> 00:10:58.850
you ridden a surfskate before?

203
00:10:59.769 --> 00:11:02.610
Actually, yeah, once. It's fun, though.

204
00:11:02.730 --> 00:11:06.620
It's fun, but it's different, right? Because the trucks, it's

205
00:11:06.820 --> 00:11:11.340
so easy to eat shit. It's a different type of balancing.

206
00:11:11.559 --> 00:11:13.299
But it's kind of cool that you don't have to

207
00:11:13.360 --> 00:11:15.200
kick at all, because if you do it right, you

208
00:11:15.220 --> 00:11:17.840
just pump on a surfboard and go.

209
00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:20.259
Where did you grow up surfing?

210
00:11:20.759 --> 00:11:23.960
So, I originally grew up in New York and New Jersey,

211
00:11:24.019 --> 00:11:27.539
but I moved it when I was 12 years old

212
00:11:27.620 --> 00:11:31.679
to California. That's where I got my first skateboard. That's

213
00:11:31.740 --> 00:11:35.940
when I first started surfing. And, like, if you didn't

214
00:11:36.080 --> 00:11:40.059
skateboard in L.A., you were made fun of. Okay? Like,

215
00:11:40.779 --> 00:11:43.399
that's what you did. I used to, I wouldn't do

216
00:11:43.460 --> 00:11:46.419
it now, but I used to jump off of roofs

217
00:11:46.590 --> 00:11:50.809
into the empty pools and Because we didn't have the

218
00:11:50.909 --> 00:11:54.490
bowls then, so we made our own bowl. And that

219
00:11:54.529 --> 00:11:56.840
was it. And I think about it now, I'm like,

220
00:11:57.779 --> 00:12:02.360
that was kind of stupid. But it was fun, you know?

221
00:12:02.379 --> 00:12:03.340
I bet it was.

222
00:12:03.840 --> 00:12:06.519
I don't think I would do it now, but, you know, maybe.

223
00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:11.690
Might need a helmet this time. Who knows? And then

224
00:12:11.730 --> 00:12:14.269
that's also where I got so into music. Like, I

225
00:12:14.289 --> 00:12:19.889
was always into music. But I moved to L.A. in 1980.

226
00:12:20.179 --> 00:12:24.360
And what a time to move to L.A. for metal.

227
00:12:25.080 --> 00:12:28.399
Because I was at Slayer's first show ever, Metallica's first

228
00:12:28.440 --> 00:12:30.840
show ever. I saw Motley Crue before they even had

229
00:12:30.879 --> 00:12:34.860
an album. They were like horror punk. They weren't glam yet.

230
00:12:35.610 --> 00:12:38.970
And I fell in love with the whole metal scene.

231
00:12:40.190 --> 00:12:44.309
I did play drums for nine years and sucked. I

232
00:12:44.350 --> 00:12:49.600
played guitar. Sucked. Sang thrash metal, sucked. So now I'm

233
00:12:49.620 --> 00:12:52.139
here talking to you because this I'm better at.

234
00:12:53.559 --> 00:12:54.379
We also suck.

235
00:12:55.320 --> 00:12:59.100
There you go. But you know what? It's just about

236
00:12:59.139 --> 00:13:02.710
having fun. It's about the passion of music. And it's

237
00:13:02.750 --> 00:13:06.070
the best therapy there is. When I come to these festivals,

238
00:13:06.470 --> 00:13:08.870
I don't even give a crap what's going on in

239
00:13:08.909 --> 00:13:12.149
the world. And I don't even think about it. And

240
00:13:12.370 --> 00:13:15.879
too many people obsess over all that shit. They just

241
00:13:15.929 --> 00:13:19.840
need to go to a metal show and fucking enjoy

242
00:13:19.860 --> 00:13:21.279
the music. That's it.

243
00:13:21.539 --> 00:13:22.200
That's what's up, bro.

244
00:13:22.669 --> 00:13:25.840
That's it. And they need to go to your show specifically.

245
00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:28.320
Because if they don't go to your shows, they can't

246
00:13:28.360 --> 00:13:30.200
listen to my music, my show.

247
00:13:30.220 --> 00:13:32.080
They will miss out, for sure.

248
00:13:32.320 --> 00:13:38.120
Absolutely. They're having FOMO right now. So anything else you

249
00:13:38.139 --> 00:13:41.049
want to tell the listeners we haven't covered already? Or

250
00:13:41.210 --> 00:13:49.419
he didn't tell us his passion outside of music. Soccer. Nice.

251
00:13:53.169 --> 00:13:54.149
He paints too?

252
00:13:55.970 --> 00:13:56.309
Also.

253
00:13:57.370 --> 00:13:58.149
From time to time.

254
00:13:58.929 --> 00:14:01.990
And I never heard somebody from Europe call it soccer either.

255
00:14:02.629 --> 00:14:02.870
Sorry?

256
00:14:03.009 --> 00:14:05.799
I never heard anybody from Europe call it soccer either.

257
00:14:06.259 --> 00:14:08.980
Yeah, it's soccer, not football.

258
00:14:10.480 --> 00:14:11.320
It makes more sense though.

259
00:14:11.379 --> 00:14:11.580
Football.

260
00:14:15.789 --> 00:14:20.110
Foot to the ball. Soccer, I just think you're punching

261
00:14:20.169 --> 00:14:22.679
somebody in the face. That's what soccer should be.

262
00:14:23.559 --> 00:14:27.200
Yeah. I don't get it. I don't get it.

263
00:14:27.399 --> 00:14:31.240
I know, right? Well, you guys absolutely rock. I'm glad

264
00:14:31.279 --> 00:14:33.330
you're here at Lateran in Life. I can't wait to

265
00:14:33.370 --> 00:14:36.370
