What's going on a clean cut today? Do I? Yeah?

11
00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:45.880
You got your trim down on the side.

12
00:00:46.600 --> 00:00:48.960
N A D is working and taking them m mns

13
00:00:49.079 --> 00:00:49.799
or whatever that is.

14
00:00:50.600 --> 00:00:52.920
It must be giving that youth youthful look, Hey man,

15
00:00:53.159 --> 00:00:54.640
I'm I'm fifty one years old.

16
00:00:54.640 --> 00:00:57.759
I am no spring chicken, but I have been blessed

17
00:00:57.799 --> 00:00:58.799
with good jeans.

18
00:00:58.799 --> 00:01:01.799
Right because you look like you the same as you

19
00:01:01.880 --> 00:01:03.880
did back in the nineties.

20
00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:06.359
All right, that's you keep putting that in the universe

21
00:01:06.359 --> 00:01:07.519
for me. Would you there it is?

22
00:01:07.599 --> 00:01:10.599
We will. How many times have you played Welcome to Rockville?

23
00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:15.239
I believe this number three or four? Yeah, it's been

24
00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:15.560
a few.

25
00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:17.840
Have you done all the Wimmer festivals?

26
00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:22.480
Yes, in one form or another. I have done every

27
00:01:22.519 --> 00:01:23.000
single one.

28
00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:24.040
What's your favorite?

29
00:01:24.840 --> 00:01:26.840
I would have to say two years ago when we

30
00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:33.920
did Rockville. Rockville is a different type of rock experience.

31
00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:37.959
It's the biggest. It definitely feels like the biggest.

32
00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:38.519
Nice.

33
00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:41.159
Yeah that that that show was monumental.

34
00:01:41.719 --> 00:01:44.719
Is that because you're here in the speedway? That makes

35
00:01:44.760 --> 00:01:44.959
it that?

36
00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:46.040
I mean, it does help.

37
00:01:46.120 --> 00:01:47.680
I did.

38
00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:50.760
You know? I did grow up with a dad who

39
00:01:50.840 --> 00:01:54.439
was in the NASCAR. Nice and you know, Daytona was

40
00:01:54.480 --> 00:01:57.680
always the big race, so you know, I was alive

41
00:01:57.760 --> 00:02:00.760
when when we lost al and I my dad was

42
00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:03.359
actually watching the race. So really, yeah, it's it's so

43
00:02:03.480 --> 00:02:07.879
it's it's you know, and with the passing of my dad,

44
00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:13.479
being on this on the grounds itself was is pretty surreal.

45
00:02:13.560 --> 00:02:16.199
So yeah, I like to hope that every single time

46
00:02:16.240 --> 00:02:17.080
I play here, I got.

47
00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:19.759
I got Pops with Oh, he's definitely with absolutely for sure.

48
00:02:20.360 --> 00:02:23.120
And like, how about what's it like writhing around the.

49
00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:25.039
Yeah, that's that's what I mean.

50
00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:28.879
It's it's it's it's a different kind of experience on

51
00:02:28.960 --> 00:02:34.240
these grounds. So it's it definitely shows you how much

52
00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:37.599
an effect and how important, you know, rock music is

53
00:02:38.879 --> 00:02:40.479
to humanity in general.

54
00:02:41.159 --> 00:02:43.280
And what do you think of the Wimmer festivals compared

55
00:02:43.319 --> 00:02:43.879
to other ones.

56
00:02:43.919 --> 00:02:44.199
You do.

57
00:02:46.759 --> 00:02:50.039
Definitely have uh their ship together.

58
00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:53.240
That's good to hear. That's like the number one good

59
00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:56.159
thing to hear, because that's mostly not the case that some.

60
00:02:56.159 --> 00:03:00.280
Food's always good. Accommodations are always outstanding. Uh. They make

61
00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:02.919
sure that you know, the staff is always awesome, friendly,

62
00:03:03.039 --> 00:03:06.840
same faces, just good people, so family. Yeah, they make

63
00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:09.719
it as easy as humanly possible, which is outstanding.

64
00:03:09.800 --> 00:03:12.039
You know what I like about Rockville, which you might

65
00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:14.360
even like too, Like I don't even have to be

66
00:03:14.439 --> 00:03:16.080
on the road. I could be at home and just

67
00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:17.759
drive up here in a few hours.

68
00:03:17.960 --> 00:03:22.120
Yeah, well I'm on the road, so right, you're always

69
00:03:22.159 --> 00:03:22.599
on the road.

70
00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:24.120
And we had a little hiccup at the gate.

71
00:03:24.199 --> 00:03:27.280
The transmission in the busk oh shook a little bit,

72
00:03:27.319 --> 00:03:30.319
so we had to you know, had hit the reset button,

73
00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:31.680
drag our asses in here.

74
00:03:32.199 --> 00:03:32.960
But we made it.

75
00:03:33.039 --> 00:03:35.280
We made it in That's the life though, right, that

76
00:03:35.479 --> 00:03:37.879
is it is indeed, what else you got going on

77
00:03:37.919 --> 00:03:40.479
after Rockville this year? Let you want people to know about.

78
00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:42.759
We got the new single is it that's out right now?

79
00:03:42.960 --> 00:03:47.240
Just dropped at midnight. It is doing amazing?

80
00:03:47.719 --> 00:03:48.599
Is it good?

81
00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:49.840
It's it's amazing.

82
00:03:49.879 --> 00:03:54.319
I think our fans are really excited about it. It's

83
00:03:54.800 --> 00:03:57.680
it seems the same as it was with Ruthless, which

84
00:03:57.840 --> 00:03:59.439
was it had a really great reaction.

85
00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:03.280
So I'm I'm excited people are enjoying it.

86
00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:06.360
You know. Uh, we got this tour that we're finishing

87
00:04:06.360 --> 00:04:09.599
off with Sumo Psycho and Soil uh and then you know,

88
00:04:09.639 --> 00:04:11.919
there's a lot of overseas stuff coming in. We've got

89
00:04:11.919 --> 00:04:14.039
a summer tour that we're about to announce. So it's

90
00:04:14.120 --> 00:04:15.240
it's it's moving man.

91
00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:19.319
That's nice. Now, when you do create new music, does

92
00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:22.279
it like revive you? Like every time you do it,

93
00:04:22.279 --> 00:04:25.000
it makes you feel like more energized again.

94
00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:29.040
Yeah, it when when the music finally hits and you start,

95
00:04:29.560 --> 00:04:31.600
uh you know, rolling out all the promo and stuff,

96
00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:34.360
that's when it kind of feels like, you know, you're

97
00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:38.680
starting to get uh you know that that gratification for

98
00:04:39.879 --> 00:04:42.759
the time that you put it to write the music. Uh,

99
00:04:42.839 --> 00:04:45.720
you know, the responses and then you know all of

100
00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:49.759
the you know business that comes around it once people.

101
00:04:49.560 --> 00:04:50.160
Get behind it.

102
00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:54.399
It's it's it's always uh, you know, it's always that

103
00:04:54.399 --> 00:04:57.839
that that moment where you can kind of relax, But

104
00:04:57.920 --> 00:04:59.480
it's really when the work really starts.

105
00:04:59.720 --> 00:05:03.040
Yeah, no doubt. And I kind of think too, like

106
00:05:03.480 --> 00:05:06.160
it's gonna really feel good if you create new music

107
00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:11.360
after doing it for so long and people absolutely love it.

108
00:05:11.399 --> 00:05:13.199
Because when you get to be a band that's been

109
00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:15.720
around that long, like a lot of times people just

110
00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:18.639
want to hear the old stuff. Yeah, but then when

111
00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:21.279
you play new stuff and they want that what a

112
00:05:21.319 --> 00:05:22.120
feeling that is?

113
00:05:22.519 --> 00:05:27.720
Yeah, Well, it's it's it's up to you know, really

114
00:05:27.759 --> 00:05:31.360
their journey on where they are with discovery. You know,

115
00:05:31.439 --> 00:05:37.199
not everyone is always ready to discover new music. There

116
00:05:37.240 --> 00:05:39.120
was a point in my life where I literally for

117
00:05:39.480 --> 00:05:41.680
five straight years all I listened to is yacht rock.

118
00:05:41.720 --> 00:05:43.439
I didn't listen to anything else.

119
00:05:43.879 --> 00:05:48.040
I was just you know, listening to old classic you know,

120
00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:52.600
rock and classic pop music. And you know, it took

121
00:05:52.680 --> 00:05:56.680
me a while to get back to discovering new music.

122
00:05:57.759 --> 00:05:59.959
And and you know, a good band will do that

123
00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:01.040
for sure.

124
00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:03.879
So what prompted you to get back to new music?

125
00:06:04.920 --> 00:06:07.439
You know a lot of these up and comers are

126
00:06:07.720 --> 00:06:11.279
really you know, shaking the tree. You know, bands like

127
00:06:11.279 --> 00:06:13.759
a rural wave and and and bands that are like

128
00:06:14.079 --> 00:06:17.839
pushing the genre in other directions and and and you know,

129
00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:22.120
melding different genres together. I think that's that's gonna be

130
00:06:22.399 --> 00:06:26.800
the real next step is the blurred lines between what

131
00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:30.360
we're doing here and and and what people even.

132
00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:31.040
Consider our music.

133
00:06:31.240 --> 00:06:33.279
Well, you know, I love that you said that because

134
00:06:33.319 --> 00:06:36.079
I always think of these bands that everybody in the

135
00:06:36.120 --> 00:06:40.639
band has different influences from totally different genres. And I

136
00:06:40.720 --> 00:06:45.000
love that because now we have so many like micro

137
00:06:45.279 --> 00:06:49.920
genres that in that little group, everybody sounds the same.

138
00:06:50.480 --> 00:06:54.079
But if you're blending genres, then you have that unique

139
00:06:54.079 --> 00:06:55.160
sound that stands out.

140
00:06:55.240 --> 00:06:58.319
Yeah, And it's it's almost like the the situation that

141
00:06:58.360 --> 00:07:00.560
you have here with this lineup, you know, Yeah, it's

142
00:07:00.600 --> 00:07:03.240
it's it ebbs and it flows for a reason, and

143
00:07:03.279 --> 00:07:07.720
it's because it's it's it wants to cater to uh,

144
00:07:07.839 --> 00:07:10.959
you know, where everyone is in their human experience.

145
00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:14.560
Well that's what's cool about like even messier. Welcome to Rockville.

146
00:07:14.600 --> 00:07:20.279
You got death metal, black metal, metal, metal.

147
00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:22.120
Food fighters, yeah, yeah.

148
00:07:22.000 --> 00:07:26.199
Yeah, rock and roll, you got you got pop punk

149
00:07:26.399 --> 00:07:32.079
and reg like hardcore. But then you have Waka Flaka. Yes,

150
00:07:32.560 --> 00:07:34.959
so it's like you have something for everybody.

151
00:07:35.040 --> 00:07:37.519
Yeah. Yeah, I think, like I said, those lines are

152
00:07:37.519 --> 00:07:41.800
going to get continue to you know, blur and uh,

153
00:07:42.480 --> 00:07:45.040
I think it's gonna just create new music and great music.

154
00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:49.560
After all the tours you've done, are there any bands

155
00:07:49.600 --> 00:07:51.720
that you have yet to tour with that you would

156
00:07:51.839 --> 00:07:52.680
like to do a tour with.

157
00:07:55.560 --> 00:08:02.879
Let me see nice trisuper Uh that I would like

158
00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:06.759
to tour with. Now, let me think, you know what,

159
00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:09.160
I would love to get on a biscuit tour. I

160
00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:11.560
feel like that would be a lot too. I would

161
00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:15.519
I would have a lot of fun on olymp biscuit tour.

162
00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:23.639
I think, I think, I think those guys balance adulthood

163
00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:29.079
and performance fucking beautifully, right.

164
00:08:29.160 --> 00:08:31.399
I think they they they have.

165
00:08:32.960 --> 00:08:36.879
They they have no more fucks to give and and

166
00:08:36.919 --> 00:08:38.279
it's and it's fun to watch.

167
00:08:40.519 --> 00:08:42.519
It's funny that you say that too, because I think

168
00:08:42.559 --> 00:08:45.919
of when they started coming back playing live shows and

169
00:08:46.039 --> 00:08:49.120
all the different looks Fred would have, fucking.

170
00:08:49.039 --> 00:08:53.320
Like he had the DADU go let's go from there

171
00:08:53.360 --> 00:08:54.279
with your Fred, Let's go.

172
00:08:57.919 --> 00:08:59.679
I love to do a show in Chunk let Us.

173
00:09:00.440 --> 00:09:04.120
Oh, I love it. And you know what. I saw

174
00:09:04.240 --> 00:09:08.519
them at grass Pop and it was the most intense

175
00:09:08.799 --> 00:09:13.320
pit I ever saw. And I've been in some crazy pit. Yeah.

176
00:09:13.360 --> 00:09:17.840
I saw them at Louder in Chicago a couple of

177
00:09:17.919 --> 00:09:23.399
years back, and they played like, I want to say,

178
00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:27.080
four bands before the last band and I was like,

179
00:09:27.480 --> 00:09:28.919
all the rest of y'all should pack it.

180
00:09:28.919 --> 00:09:32.679
Up and go home. They just destroyed this guy.

181
00:09:32.919 --> 00:09:35.600
It was a party from the second those guys started

182
00:09:35.919 --> 00:09:36.879
to the second and end it.

183
00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:37.399
Was it was.

184
00:09:37.480 --> 00:09:39.639
It was great to watch. Shout out to Lim.

185
00:09:40.120 --> 00:09:43.559
You've achieved a lot of goals in all your musical career.

186
00:09:44.399 --> 00:09:48.480
What's left that you liked? Something? Bucketless for non Points?

187
00:09:48.639 --> 00:09:52.639
China, China. I want to go to China. I know

188
00:09:52.679 --> 00:09:55.279
a lot of people don't like Jina. I want to

189
00:09:55.360 --> 00:09:58.759
do a little giant. I know that you got your bands,

190
00:09:58.960 --> 00:10:03.279
but you got your Gina, the Southeast Asia's.

191
00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:08.759
Yeah, I'd love to do Asia. Asia is my last

192
00:10:08.799 --> 00:10:09.279
buck list.

193
00:10:09.639 --> 00:10:10.279
I love it.

194
00:10:10.600 --> 00:10:12.360
I would say Antarctica, but I don't want to be

195
00:10:12.399 --> 00:10:19.679
accosted by the FBI and nobody's allowed in Antarctica, not

196
00:10:19.799 --> 00:10:20.840
even non Point.

197
00:10:23.679 --> 00:10:26.519
And you do such a good impression that you should

198
00:10:26.600 --> 00:10:30.600
go on like Jimmy Kimmel and announce your China tour.

199
00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:34.639
Yeah yeah, no, no, no, god no, I just lost

200
00:10:34.679 --> 00:10:37.320
like twenty thousand followers right just doing that.

201
00:10:39.879 --> 00:10:45.879
Cancel culture, yeah, real, it's real. Well, anything else that

202
00:10:45.919 --> 00:10:48.320
we haven't covered that. You need the listeners to know.

203
00:10:48.559 --> 00:10:51.519

00:10:51.559 --> 00:10:53.639
