00:00:30.600 --> 00:00:35.600
at Bourbon and beyond. You know what's wild. I live

7
00:00:35.640 --> 00:00:40.479
in Florida, South Florida, Okay by West Palm, but I

8
00:00:40.640 --> 00:00:43.240
used to cover okachoby Fest a few times in the

9
00:00:43.359 --> 00:00:49.240
beginning nice And when I saw you guys in the lineup,

10
00:00:49.320 --> 00:00:52.000
I'm like, holy shit, I think I saw them at

11
00:00:52.039 --> 00:00:54.399
twenty sixteen. Okatoby Fest.

12
00:00:54.560 --> 00:00:56.039
Was that the first That was the first year, and

13
00:00:56.200 --> 00:00:58.039
that's the year you were there? That was it? Yeah,

14
00:00:58.159 --> 00:01:00.359
that was probably the first big show that the five

15
00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:01.240
o' twos ever did.

16
00:01:01.479 --> 00:01:01.719
Really.

17
00:01:01.799 --> 00:01:04.120
Yeah. We entered into a Battle of the band's competition.

18
00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:06.439
Had just formed the band, and we were like, well

19
00:01:06.480 --> 00:01:08.120
we want to go because Mumford and Sons and those

20
00:01:08.120 --> 00:01:10.599
types of bands were playing totally and we just tried

21
00:01:10.640 --> 00:01:12.599
really hard and then we got to do that. But

22
00:01:12.680 --> 00:01:16.719
that was our first big festival and show, really wild festival.

23
00:01:16.840 --> 00:01:20.040
Right yeah, oh my god, Like it's twenty four hours

24
00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:24.079
And I would get bands that were texting me, can

25
00:01:24.159 --> 00:01:27.159
you do the interview at three am or sets at

26
00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:31.799
two I'm like, okay, Like no, I'll be asleep then,

27
00:01:31.959 --> 00:01:35.120
but what a great festival. And I learned that day

28
00:01:35.159 --> 00:01:38.359
at that festival besides you guys were badass? Is that

29
00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:44.319
is that I never got the whole DJ concert thing

30
00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:46.640
like Scrillics bas Nectar.

31
00:01:46.519 --> 00:01:50.519
Thing, you mean, like mixing in with bands also no Jo.

32
00:01:50.799 --> 00:01:52.200
I don't know if it was that year or the

33
00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:55.239
next year Scrillts and bass Nectar were playing.

34
00:01:55.959 --> 00:01:57.480
Oh he was there the next year, that might have

35
00:01:57.560 --> 00:01:57.760
been it.

36
00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:00.760
Yeah, And when I saw it, I was like, oh,

37
00:02:00.840 --> 00:02:01.439
I get it now.

38
00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:02.200
Yeah.

39
00:02:02.400 --> 00:02:04.879
It's the lights and the base, the feeling. It's like

40
00:02:04.879 --> 00:02:05.799
everyone being around you.

41
00:02:05.959 --> 00:02:08.599
I get that. And everybody was like hyped up and stuff.

42
00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:12.159
Because at first, before I ever experiencing that, I'm like,

43
00:02:13.159 --> 00:02:14.800
why would I want to go I'll go to the

44
00:02:14.919 --> 00:02:16.879
nightclub for a DJ. Why would I go to a

45
00:02:17.039 --> 00:02:22.120
concert or festival? And now I got people for sure totally, So.

46
00:02:22.439 --> 00:02:24.479
I was gonna say that festival is fun because there

47
00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:27.199
was no rules backstage. Really, I felt like the first

48
00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:29.960
year there was no boundaries and so we got to

49
00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:31.879
meet like Robert Plant and the guys from Mumford and

50
00:02:31.960 --> 00:02:34.199
sons and stuff like that. And then the next year

51
00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:36.960
Joe went with a different band at the time and

52
00:02:37.960 --> 00:02:41.360
he put the first five O two's EP into the

53
00:02:41.439 --> 00:02:45.439
lumineer's dressing room or something, gave it to somebody on

54
00:02:45.479 --> 00:02:46.719
their team and they put it in there or something

55
00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:50.360
like that. So nothing happened from that, but it's a

56
00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:53.360
good story for a late night show on Still though.

57
00:02:54.639 --> 00:02:58.080
Could you imagine one day just like you get call, Yeah,

58
00:02:58.159 --> 00:03:02.039
we've had this for like how many years, and we

59
00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:03.199
want to take you out on tour.

60
00:03:03.319 --> 00:03:04.919
Yeah, we finally popped it into the CD player.

61
00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:08.000
We were looking for one, so right exactly. That would

62
00:03:08.039 --> 00:03:11.560
be so cool. But yeah, it's a trip that festival.

63
00:03:11.759 --> 00:03:14.840
I just got emails of the announcement for this year's festival.

64
00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:17.520
Oh yeah, yeah, two thousand, Well not this year, twenty twenty.

65
00:03:17.639 --> 00:03:19.759
Who's playing at it? They don't have the lineup yet,

66
00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:22.199
just the announcement of the festival. But I'm curious because

67
00:03:22.199 --> 00:03:23.680
they haven't had it for a couple of years.

68
00:03:23.759 --> 00:03:26.360
Yeah, so yeah, I thought it was a great festival.

69
00:03:27.159 --> 00:03:30.280
It was really fun actually, but this festival I really

70
00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:35.759
love too. Yeah, have you experienced anything of the festival yet?

71
00:03:35.879 --> 00:03:39.080
Here not yet we got into about ten thirty or

72
00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:42.080
so and eight lunch and came to hang out with you.

73
00:03:42.199 --> 00:03:43.520
So I think after this we'll get a chance to

74
00:03:43.560 --> 00:03:44.319
walk around.

75
00:03:44.280 --> 00:03:48.560
Nice And have you gotten the experience of how Danny

76
00:03:48.599 --> 00:03:51.080
Wimmer treats artists at these festivals?

77
00:03:51.759 --> 00:03:54.319
Yeah, so far, everybody, all the hospitality has been really

78
00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:56.439
kind to us, and the direction has been really sound.

79
00:03:56.800 --> 00:03:59.719
It feels like it's welcoming to both artists and festival goers.

80
00:03:59.719 --> 00:04:01.599
Is a hole and that's always really nice to see,

81
00:04:01.960 --> 00:04:03.199
like everything's got its place.

82
00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:05.280
And the fact that there's a theme park or some

83
00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:06.400
sort of roller coaster park.

84
00:04:07.280 --> 00:04:09.680
It is a theme park. That's very cool, Like that's

85
00:04:09.800 --> 00:04:12.719
permanently here all the time. Yeah, yeah, and so yeah,

86
00:04:12.840 --> 00:04:15.800
this year is the first year like usually they have

87
00:04:15.919 --> 00:04:18.839
their own first s up. This is the first year

88
00:04:19.480 --> 00:04:21.000
that's included with the ticket.

89
00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:25.319
That's really cool. Why Yeah, right to Florida people, you know, so.

90
00:04:25.439 --> 00:04:27.160
Roller there you go.

91
00:04:27.480 --> 00:04:27.920
That's great.

92
00:04:28.199 --> 00:04:30.519
And do you feel at home with this heat here

93
00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:34.600
in Littleville? Like it's like holy shit, Like I left

94
00:04:34.680 --> 00:04:35.959
Florida and I had to come into this.

95
00:04:36.360 --> 00:04:39.399
Yeah. I was literally just sitting here and I could

96
00:04:39.399 --> 00:04:41.800
feel my back sweating. I was like got it because

97
00:04:41.879 --> 00:04:43.920
in Florida in the summer, we really don't go outside,

98
00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:45.439
or I don't really go outside. It's like i'd be

99
00:04:45.519 --> 00:04:48.879
early morning, late night. Otherwise you're just walking into asana

100
00:04:49.160 --> 00:04:51.120
and I'm sitting here. I'm like, yeah, this is very similar.

101
00:04:51.319 --> 00:04:53.480
And we were just talking about how the sweaty or

102
00:04:53.480 --> 00:04:56.120
the fiveway two show the better. Usually there it'll maybe

103
00:04:56.120 --> 00:04:59.079
a great show for really yeah, it looks like we

104
00:04:59.160 --> 00:05:00.480
jumped into swimming after it.

105
00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:03.720
You know what's different though about here is you know

106
00:05:03.839 --> 00:05:06.839
how in Florida, at least in the West Palm area,

107
00:05:07.040 --> 00:05:08.720
when the sun goes down, it gets hotter.

108
00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:10.279
You know, it gets muggy.

109
00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:11.839
Here it gets cold.

110
00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:13.079
All right, Well that's nice.

111
00:05:13.279 --> 00:05:15.560
It wasn't cold last night, but it was beautiful. It

112
00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:18.680
was like nice cool. But I've been at this festival

113
00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:21.000
where it's like this during the day and at night

114
00:05:21.079 --> 00:05:23.000
I'm freezing. Right.

115
00:05:23.079 --> 00:05:25.120
I'll look forward to maybe experiencing that we're gonna stick

116
00:05:25.160 --> 00:05:25.839
around all night.

117
00:05:25.959 --> 00:05:28.040
So nice who you're looking forward to seeing?

119
00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:30.839
Nice.

120
00:05:30.920 --> 00:05:33.480
Yeah, I think that's a few after us. So any

Yeah, Like there's all these bourbon booths and I'm sure

139
00:06:20.199 --> 00:06:21.240
they give it to you the test.

140
00:06:21.399 --> 00:06:21.560

00:06:24.199 --> 00:06:25.800
Oh there you go? What the Tryso?

143
00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:29.600
And then did you see the drip bar over there? Yeah?

144
00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:31.519
I think the artists love that most.

145
00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:33.240
Yeah. I was gonna say I love a red beat

146
00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:34.319

147
00:06:34.439 --> 00:06:36.480
So you guys got a new album that just dropped.

148
00:06:36.519 --> 00:06:38.399
Let's talk about that. Tell us a little bit about it.

149
00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:41.120
Yeah, it came out last week. It's called Easy Street.

150
00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:43.839
There's thirteen songs on there. And the way we've been

151
00:06:43.879 --> 00:06:47.879
describing it as a big picture thing is four o'clock

152
00:06:47.920 --> 00:06:49.600
in the afternoon, you just got off the beach and

153
00:06:49.759 --> 00:06:51.240
you're about to go out to dinner, but you're grabbing

154
00:06:51.279 --> 00:06:53.199
a little pre dinner drink with your friends and family.

155
00:06:53.519 --> 00:06:54.959
That's the energy of the album.

156
00:06:55.639 --> 00:06:57.439
I love that I was saying.

157
00:06:57.439 --> 00:06:59.680
I completely agree with it. It's a journey from beginning

158
00:06:59.720 --> 00:07:01.519
to end. Every song there's a little bit of take

159
00:07:01.600 --> 00:07:03.120
what you want from here. Maybe you like it from

160
00:07:03.120 --> 00:07:05.839
another song, but over arc and feels you belong on

161
00:07:05.920 --> 00:07:06.439
Easy Street.

162
00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:09.759
So see what's cool about that. One thing you said

163
00:07:10.279 --> 00:07:14.279
really struck me that maybe we're making comeback with is

164
00:07:14.519 --> 00:07:17.360
the fact of a journey listening to an album, the

165
00:07:17.439 --> 00:07:19.680
post of that track thing. Yeah, like I was younger,

166
00:07:20.120 --> 00:07:23.040
you pull that an album, you listen to the whole thing.

167
00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:27.319
You're reading the lyrics, looking at the artwork and all that,

168
00:07:27.959 --> 00:07:30.720
and I think kids are missing out on that today.

169
00:07:31.160 --> 00:07:33.959
So thank you for bands like you bringing stuff like

170
00:07:34.040 --> 00:07:35.120
that back on the vinyl.

171
00:07:35.160 --> 00:07:37.240
Actually, we have a slip that comes into it, and

172
00:07:37.279 --> 00:07:39.759
it's got all the lyrics on every page, a lot

173
00:07:39.800 --> 00:07:41.560
of artwork and design on the cover of both the

174
00:07:41.639 --> 00:07:43.199
CD and the vinyl, and it is audio.

175
00:07:43.240 --> 00:07:44.439
Know, you can look at it, you can listen to it.

176
00:07:44.480 --> 00:07:46.279
You're gonna enjoy it. It's a very cool package.

177
00:07:47.480 --> 00:07:50.000
I was gonna say, I feel like listening to albums

178
00:07:50.120 --> 00:07:52.079
is I think when there's people that really like bands,

179
00:07:52.120 --> 00:07:54.480
they enjoy it. And so that's where sometimes if people

180
00:07:54.519 --> 00:07:57.160
are just dropping singles, I'm with you on like the

181
00:07:57.279 --> 00:07:59.279
album is what I think maybe makes it cool or

182
00:07:59.399 --> 00:08:01.639
like makes you can to the band, and I can

183
00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:03.560
think of all my favorite bands. I like listening to

184
00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:05.560
the albums all the way through. So we just try

185
00:08:05.560 --> 00:08:07.759
to do that same thing where we spend weeks trying

186
00:08:07.800 --> 00:08:09.839
to figure out the track list, which is like just

187
00:08:10.120 --> 00:08:11.759
because we want people to be able to listen down

188
00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:13.680
to it. And it's like there is something really special

189
00:08:13.720 --> 00:08:16.399
about an album versus just a single. Yeah, kind of

190
00:08:16.439 --> 00:08:17.480
lets you step into the world.

191
00:08:17.920 --> 00:08:21.720
Yeah, And if new people listening to music don't get

192
00:08:21.839 --> 00:08:24.720
that experience, will never know what that is and they'll

193
00:08:24.839 --> 00:08:28.040
just be in that single track mentality. But think about

194
00:08:28.759 --> 00:08:30.639
like if I hear a Pink Floyd song on the

195
00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:34.279
radio off of Dark Side, it sounds weird to me

196
00:08:34.399 --> 00:08:37.240
when the song ends, it's like, where's the rest of it?

197
00:08:37.399 --> 00:08:41.679
Because you can't listen to album without all the way through.

198
00:08:41.960 --> 00:08:44.200
Yeah, Well, it's because it's a great album, and it's

199
00:08:44.279 --> 00:08:46.360
like it probably is. Well, it is more difficult to

200
00:08:46.440 --> 00:08:49.360
make a great album versus a single great song, yeah,

201
00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:51.960
And so I think there's some Yeah, I think there's

202
00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:54.960
some like ability these days to just make a great

203
00:08:55.039 --> 00:08:57.639
song and then use that as promotional material. You don't

204
00:08:57.679 --> 00:09:00.639
have to have a great album necessarily, especially with all

205
00:09:00.639 --> 00:09:02.960
the social media stuff, but if you take the time

206
00:09:02.960 --> 00:09:04.440
and effort to do a great album, I think it's

207
00:09:04.519 --> 00:09:06.279
better for the long term of like a career.

208
00:09:06.759 --> 00:09:10.000
Yeah. In the artist street, I think it also is

209
00:09:10.080 --> 00:09:13.679
a great expression of musicianship in my opinion, if you're

210
00:09:13.679 --> 00:09:16.559
a true musician, you go well and make that whole

211
00:09:16.639 --> 00:09:17.720
album like a story.

212
00:09:18.399 --> 00:09:19.840
Yeah, And that's kind of what we're trying to do

213
00:09:19.919 --> 00:09:23.600
with Easy Street, where it's like you can the whole

214
00:09:23.960 --> 00:09:26.000
tour and everything that you can step onto Easy Street

215
00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:28.200
whenever you press play. Pretty much what you were just saying,

216
00:09:28.279 --> 00:09:30.080
like you want to hear the next song, you want

217
00:09:30.080 --> 00:09:31.799
to be a part of the next song. And it's

218
00:09:31.879 --> 00:09:34.240
not just one song that's skip it. It's a whole

219
00:09:34.279 --> 00:09:36.799
world that you're entering. And I think that's what's cool

220
00:09:36.840 --> 00:09:39.279
because then you think about outside of the album, You

221
00:09:39.320 --> 00:09:41.360
get into the touring, you get into the website, you

222
00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:43.559
get into the outfits we're wearing on stage, and it's like,

223
00:09:43.639 --> 00:09:45.200
all these things start to create a world.

224
00:09:45.559 --> 00:09:45.759
Yeah.

225
00:09:45.759 --> 00:09:47.600
I think that's where we have just as much fun

226
00:09:47.679 --> 00:09:50.440
as making the music is creating the world too.

227
00:09:50.799 --> 00:09:54.039
I love hearing that because there's so many components to

228
00:09:54.120 --> 00:09:57.200
being an artist's and I think people don't really realize

229
00:09:57.240 --> 00:09:59.480
that it's not just writing a song and playing the song,

230
00:09:59.600 --> 00:10:01.360
it's every thing else that goes along with it.

231
00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:04.639
Yeah. Yeah, we love doing it all. So that's what's

232
00:10:04.799 --> 00:10:06.600
fun about this band is we have the opportunity to

233
00:10:06.679 --> 00:10:07.039
do it all.

234
00:10:07.480 --> 00:10:10.120
See that's key. Like, and you can tell as a

235
00:10:10.279 --> 00:10:13.399
fan if I'm watching a band, I can tell if

236
00:10:13.399 --> 00:10:15.480
they're having a good time and then I'm gonna have

237
00:10:15.559 --> 00:10:17.960
a good time, or if they're going through themotions or

238
00:10:18.039 --> 00:10:21.759
they have this attitude on stage, and then it's like, yeah,

239
00:10:21.759 --> 00:10:23.039
I'd rather just listen.

240
00:10:23.000 --> 00:10:24.720
Yeah, I think you want people that are enjoying what

241
00:10:24.759 --> 00:10:27.240
they're doing, whatever that is. It doesn't have to be

242
00:10:28.039 --> 00:10:30.320
happy folk music like us. But if they're connecting to

243
00:10:30.360 --> 00:10:32.759
the music they're making, then audience can connect to it,

244
00:10:32.840 --> 00:10:33.279
I think.

245
00:10:33.480 --> 00:10:36.600
No doubt. Yeah, what else do you want to tell

246
00:10:36.720 --> 00:10:39.240
the listeners that you got coming up or anything about you?

247
00:10:40.240 --> 00:10:42.600
Yeah? The five O two's it's on all social media

248
00:10:42.720 --> 00:10:45.639
and we're at the start three show number three of

249
00:10:45.720 --> 00:10:48.679
a thirty eight show tour running all the way through

250
00:10:48.720 --> 00:10:50.799
the end of the year and then going to Europe.

251
00:10:50.879 --> 00:10:53.399
In the UK they started next year, so nice. Lots

252
00:10:53.399 --> 00:10:55.519
of tour dates. The new album just drops, so check

253
00:10:55.600 --> 00:10:57.559
that out. And that's it.

254
00:10:57.799 --> 00:10:58.279
That's about it.

255
00:10:58.679 --> 00:11:01.440
I have one more thing though, because they can't listen

256
00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:04.200
to my show unless they buy your merch. So where

257
00:11:04.360 --> 00:11:05.840
they go to buy your merch.

258
00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:08.679
Nice and easy, the five O twos dot com. They're'll

259
00:11:08.679 --> 00:11:12.279
all be linked there. We got vinyl CD sweatshirts, shirts hats,

260
00:11:12.440 --> 00:11:14.120
so go grab some. It's good stuff.

261
00:11:14.240 --> 00:11:15.960
And I say that all the time because you know what,

262
00:11:16.039 --> 00:11:19.960
people don't realize nowadays it's not like the old days.

263
00:11:20.279 --> 00:11:22.320
The only way you guys get to the next gig

264
00:11:22.919 --> 00:11:23.840
is if you sell merch.

265
00:11:24.759 --> 00:11:27.360
Yeah, merch is a big deal. And even what we

266
00:11:27.440 --> 00:11:29.080
were just saying, we spent a lot of time helping

267
00:11:29.159 --> 00:11:31.480
design the merchants like stuff that we would wear, so

268
00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:33.480
hopefully people will check it out and like it.

269
00:11:34.000 --> 00:11:36.679
See I love that too. That's great that you would

270
00:11:36.720 --> 00:11:38.720
wear it, because why would anybody else wear it if

271
00:11:38.799 --> 00:11:39.759
you're not gonna wear it.

272
00:11:40.080 --> 00:11:41.799
Yeah, we probably overwear our own merch.

273
00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:45.279
So it's like, I know people that podcast and they're like, yeah,

274
00:11:45.559 --> 00:11:48.600
I wouldn't listen to a podcast or my own podcast, Well,

275
00:11:48.639 --> 00:11:50.440
then why would anybody else listen to it?

276
00:11:50.679 --> 00:11:53.519
That is funny because Joe is Joe and I both

277
00:11:53.639 --> 00:11:56.759
listened to five O twos music all the time nice,

278
00:11:56.840 --> 00:11:58.279
and we are a lot of artists that are like, oh,

279
00:11:58.320 --> 00:11:59.919
I don't once it's done, I don't listen to it

280
00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:02.279
of my music. And I think that's a little bit

281
00:12:02.360 --> 00:12:04.440
foreign to us because we're like in the most non

282
00:12:04.519 --> 00:12:07.960
vain way possible, I don't think it like we like

283
00:12:08.080 --> 00:12:08.559
this stuff.

284
00:12:09.039 --> 00:12:11.480
You have to like it for other people to like it.

285
00:12:11.639 --> 00:12:15.440
And yeah, it's a transfer of emotion, so you can

286
00:12:15.559 --> 00:12:18.559
tell if the band likes why would you not like?

287
00:12:18.679 --> 00:12:22.080
I know, like artists are in like pop and they're

288
00:12:22.159 --> 00:12:25.720
like really metal heads, and I'm like, I wouldn't be

289
00:12:25.759 --> 00:12:29.960
able to do that, like play music that I don't like, yeah,

290
00:12:30.120 --> 00:12:31.480
and I like another genre.

291
00:12:32.440 --> 00:12:34.200
Yeah. I mean, I think that's what we have been

292
00:12:34.240 --> 00:12:36.600
lucky with is that we started making we started the

293
00:12:36.639 --> 00:12:39.039
band making music that we like, and I've continued to

294
00:12:39.080 --> 00:12:41.080
play music that we like so much easier and there's

295
00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:43.799
so much easier and so much more fun and probably

296
00:12:43.799 --> 00:12:45.080
a lot more longevity in it.

297
00:12:45.519 --> 00:12:45.960
No doubt.

298
00:12:46.159 --> 00:12:46.200
So.

299
00:12:46.519 --> 00:12:49.519
