W four c Y Radio, and I'm here with.

6
00:00:25.960 --> 00:00:29.239
I'm Terry from alien Am far dried in from alien

7
00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:29.839
An Firm.

8
00:00:30.079 --> 00:00:33.439
Nice fancy meeting you over here on the other side

9
00:00:33.479 --> 00:00:35.759
of pond. I feel like we just saw you, I know,

10
00:00:35.880 --> 00:00:39.880
right all the way across the world for Shock, right yeah,

11
00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:42.200
after Shock Northern California.

12
00:00:42.240 --> 00:00:43.960
That's right, Sacramento, that's it.

13
00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:46.640
Look at that. It is hard to remember when you

14
00:00:46.719 --> 00:00:49.079
do all these it's like they all swirl in your head.

15
00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:51.039
Right, we remember you for sure.

16
00:00:51.439 --> 00:00:54.600
Well I take that as the best compliment ever. You know,

17
00:00:54.679 --> 00:00:58.159
it's like, hey, you know, alien An Farm remembers the

18
00:00:58.240 --> 00:01:02.479
pipe Man. So how do you like doing download compared

19
00:01:02.520 --> 00:01:06.159
to let's say, the US festivals.

20
00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:10.120
What's the comparison.

21
00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:11.400
I feel like we do.

22
00:01:12.359 --> 00:01:15.319
We I think we do. We get better crowds here,

23
00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:19.359
our own headliner type shows, but not necessarily like I

24
00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:22.799
think we still get love at the festivals in the US.

25
00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:26.319
We got a really nice welcome here. I don't know

26
00:01:26.359 --> 00:01:29.319
that it was like better per se, like I enjoy both.

27
00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:32.200
So yeah, yeah, I kind of think it's not a

28
00:01:32.239 --> 00:01:34.680
matter of better or worse, it's just different.

29
00:01:35.400 --> 00:01:39.400
Very Yeah, both are very cool. After It's cool right

30
00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:42.400
after Shock and this download. This is the second time

31
00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:45.959
we've done download. I hope we get invited back to Aftershock.

32
00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:49.200
Too, So I hope you do too. That's a fun festival.

33
00:01:48.799 --> 00:01:51.760
Right, absolutely, I just ride up the highway for us,

34
00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:53.079
right more or less?

35
00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:56.000
Yeah, where are you guys from? I forget southern California? Yeah,

36
00:01:56.040 --> 00:01:56.480
what part?

37
00:01:56.719 --> 00:01:58.439
We're from a town called Riverside.

38
00:01:58.760 --> 00:02:02.120
I'm very familiar. I used to do sell spas at

39
00:02:02.120 --> 00:02:03.680
the Riverside.

40
00:02:03.120 --> 00:02:05.359
Mall, at the Tyler Mall.

41
00:02:06.439 --> 00:02:09.680
I just remember. I was like fifteen years old and

42
00:02:09.800 --> 00:02:12.000
I just remember it was the Riverside Mall. I lived

43
00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:14.439
in a Gora, Okay. I used to have to drive

44
00:02:14.639 --> 00:02:16.319
all the way to the Riverside Mall.

45
00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:17.840
That's a long drive.

46
00:02:18.039 --> 00:02:21.840
I also have this from LA in the eighties. You

47
00:02:21.879 --> 00:02:23.719
didn't get to see that at Aftershock.

48
00:02:24.319 --> 00:02:27.319
That's the jump in the fire. You got it graphic.

49
00:02:27.400 --> 00:02:30.719
Yeah, so I was. I brought this out just recently.

50
00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:34.439
I spanned my closet and on ship rocked I was

51
00:02:34.479 --> 00:02:37.479
doing this and like all the bands and like Winston

52
00:02:37.719 --> 00:02:41.680
from Parkway, drive. He's like, when did Matawka have a

53
00:02:41.719 --> 00:02:42.840
devil in her logo?

54
00:02:42.960 --> 00:02:46.280
Now the fire Man that's it needs to excel our

55
00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:47.199
drummer played.

56
00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:47.960
In Excel for a while.

57
00:02:48.159 --> 00:02:51.159
Really, Yeah, Jeffe Sarah is a good friend of mine.

58
00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:53.680
I went to like one of their first shows ever.

59
00:02:54.159 --> 00:02:56.560
I lived in LA and me and my bro we

60
00:02:56.599 --> 00:02:59.400
got sick of the LA scene when Metallica and Slayer left,

61
00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:01.560
so we used to hitchhike up to the Bay Area

62
00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:04.439
to go to real shows. I actually went to the

63
00:03:04.479 --> 00:03:10.000
first ever crossover show at the Sunbowie Sportsman's Lodge No

64
00:03:10.120 --> 00:03:15.960
Security in Elks Lodge. It was coc Pre Pepper when

65
00:03:15.960 --> 00:03:20.280
they were hardcore punk Suicidal before they crossed over, The

66
00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:24.919
Descendants on the punk side metal side, Possessed, Dark Angel,

67
00:03:24.919 --> 00:03:25.879
and Savage Grace.

68
00:03:26.199 --> 00:03:26.680
Yeah.

69
00:03:26.800 --> 00:03:29.360
I've seen all those bands when I was a kid. Really,

70
00:03:29.400 --> 00:03:31.879
I'm fifty three, so I'm fifty eight. I grew up

71
00:03:31.919 --> 00:03:33.840
in the in the metal scene going to see all

72
00:03:33.879 --> 00:03:34.840
those bands, for sure.

73
00:03:35.400 --> 00:03:36.719
I used to go to the Balbo Theater.

74
00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:40.360
In fact, I saw Coec on the Animosity tour when

75
00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:42.120
it was Mike Dean playing bas and singing.

76
00:03:42.599 --> 00:03:44.080
Yeah, rest in peace, Reed Mullen.

77
00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:51.719
Well, I saw the Jackson five victory tour, and those

78
00:03:51.759 --> 00:03:54.199
guys would smash all those metal bands in a second.

79
00:03:54.759 --> 00:03:57.400
I loved Jackson five. I watched the cartoon.

80
00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:01.039
I was gonna slam the mic and run, but I

81
00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:03.080
chose that I don't want to disrespect.

82
00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:04.840
That would have been good. I don't know if it

83
00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:06.280
would have been good for me, but it would have

84
00:04:06.280 --> 00:04:08.520
been good for the interview. Not the rest of the

85
00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:13.840
interviews though. Well so, Savage Grace, we're friends of mine.

86
00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:17.160
Funny that you went to see them, because most people

87
00:04:17.160 --> 00:04:19.360
I would talk to they don't know who they are. Yeah.

88
00:04:19.399 --> 00:04:21.800
I think I saw them at Chuck Landis's country club

89
00:04:21.879 --> 00:04:22.560
in Resita.

90
00:04:23.160 --> 00:04:30.040
Guess what there's blood on here at the country club.

91
00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:36.079
At the country club, you ready, Savage Grace show last song.

92
00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:39.160
I climb up on the top of the Marshall Stack

93
00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:45.759
full swan in the air, crowd move. I hit face first,

94
00:04:45.879 --> 00:04:48.160
talked out all my teeth. They look much better now

95
00:04:48.199 --> 00:04:52.959
than I knocked them out. But wait, Savage Grace went

96
00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:56.399
off the scene. Okay, a couple of years ago, I

97
00:04:56.439 --> 00:05:02.120
get Savage Face. Yeah exactly, they I get a pr thing.

98
00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:05.879
Can you interview to this band. It's for first album

99
00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:09.879
in like forty years, Savage Grace. I'm like, holy shit.

100
00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:16.120
So Chris gets on. He gets on the interview and

101
00:05:16.199 --> 00:05:18.560
you know how you tell your kids' stories and they're like,

102
00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:21.720
yeah right, dad, or did they think you're exaggerating? Now

103
00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:24.240
I have proof? He gets on. You were the most

104
00:05:24.279 --> 00:05:29.879
tragic La metal incident ever. He goes, I wondered what

105
00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:30.759
happened to you?

106
00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:36.639
Like like I felt so bad and it's just so funny,

107
00:05:36.759 --> 00:05:40.639
Like yeah exactly, I said, don't worry about I have

108
00:05:40.680 --> 00:05:41.519
better teeth now.

109
00:05:41.639 --> 00:05:45.439
So it worked out well. I can't believe that you were.

110
00:05:45.639 --> 00:05:48.720
You mentioned the country club. Oh yeah, yeah, that was

111
00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:50.360
one of my favorite venues. Man.

112
00:05:50.439 --> 00:05:50.800
I went to.

113
00:05:52.000 --> 00:05:55.720
It's Balbo Theater, Fenders Ballroom, like those are all my places.

114
00:05:55.879 --> 00:05:57.279
Yeah, I grew up in Jersey.

115
00:05:57.360 --> 00:06:00.959
I still stand by Victory Tour at Dodgers Stadium. Smash

116
00:06:01.000 --> 00:06:02.160
all the shows you guys went.

117
00:06:02.079 --> 00:06:06.079
To at the Victory Tour at Dodger Stack, I beout,

118
00:06:06.120 --> 00:06:08.040

119
00:06:07.480 --> 00:06:10.720
Too, Michael Jackson Dodgers Stadium.

120
00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:13.600
There it is okay, But I had to meet Jackson five,

121
00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:17.160
you know, because they were the best. The Jackson five.

122
00:06:17.480 --> 00:06:20.160
Magine what would did Jackson five sound like? If they

123
00:06:20.160 --> 00:06:20.720
were metal?

124
00:06:22.639 --> 00:06:24.240
They'd all play Jackson's I know that.

125
00:06:27.560 --> 00:06:32.480
Where are you guys going after download? I don't even

126
00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:36.040
know where to go with that. You got a lot

127
00:06:36.040 --> 00:06:38.319
of mic dropping moments here Today.

128
00:06:38.639 --> 00:06:42.519
Tomorrow we head for Brighton for a headline show.

129
00:06:42.680 --> 00:06:42.879
Nice.

130
00:06:42.920 --> 00:06:45.800
We're kind of just over here piecing festivals together.

131
00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:49.160
We got like four festivals, which ones we're doing the Copenhall,

132
00:06:49.879 --> 00:06:55.480
Grass Pop and Jarah Okay Jarah on air and those

133
00:06:55.480 --> 00:06:59.560
four are those four festivals and then just headliner shows

134
00:06:59.600 --> 00:07:00.439
to piece together.

135
00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:03.160
See fuck Like last year I did grasp Pop because

136
00:07:03.199 --> 00:07:05.560
his first year at healthest and grasp Pop we're not

137
00:07:05.720 --> 00:07:09.160
on the same weekend. So this year I'm back at Hellfest.

138
00:07:09.399 --> 00:07:11.360
Yeah. I've never been to Healfest, but I hear lots

139
00:07:11.399 --> 00:07:12.079
of cool stuff.

140
00:07:12.120 --> 00:07:13.040
Oh you gotta play.

141
00:07:13.040 --> 00:07:14.879
Hellfest's mostly metal bands. Though.

142
00:07:14.920 --> 00:07:17.199
Didn't we do Healthfest in Mexico or No?

143
00:07:17.240 --> 00:07:20.000
That was Heaven in Hell, Hell in Heaven, Yeah yeah,

144
00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:21.319
Helfest is in France.

145
00:07:21.079 --> 00:07:25.120
Right, Yeah, but it's so cool because like literally you're

146
00:07:25.160 --> 00:07:27.720
in Hell at night, they have fire going up the

147
00:07:27.759 --> 00:07:30.959
whole thing. Oh my god. And then lemme statue.

148
00:07:31.240 --> 00:07:33.360
It's culture, but ever it goes down.

149
00:07:33.399 --> 00:07:36.160
I follow so many metal bands on Instagram that my

150
00:07:36.279 --> 00:07:40.000
feed just comes alive with like with with a Hellfest,

151
00:07:40.199 --> 00:07:46.079
like friggin propaganda. Right, but I've seen all that. It's

152
00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:49.600
it's it's insane. It looks like a total post apocalyptic.

153
00:07:49.720 --> 00:07:54.480
Oh, it's a situation, unbelievable. Now you've done grasp pop before, you, guys.

154
00:07:54.560 --> 00:07:55.560
No, I don't think so.

155
00:07:55.839 --> 00:07:58.560
I think these three festivals are going to be a

156
00:07:58.600 --> 00:08:00.560
first time for us. This is the second time we

157
00:08:00.600 --> 00:08:04.199
played Download, but the three other festivals will be first time.

158
00:08:04.079 --> 00:08:06.720
For Copenhall's Badass. I haven't gone to that one yet,

159
00:08:06.839 --> 00:08:09.079
have you done? That's first for that one too, right,

160
00:08:09.279 --> 00:08:10.759
you'll have to tell me how that one is.

161
00:08:10.959 --> 00:08:14.639
Yeah, yeah, I'm curious. I'm gonna swan dive do it.

162
00:08:15.000 --> 00:08:16.439
Hopefully they don't part.

163
00:08:16.920 --> 00:08:17.399
They will.

164
00:08:19.079 --> 00:08:22.279
They might at Copenhall grassp Pop they'll bally be cool

165
00:08:22.279 --> 00:08:24.639
about grass Pop's a cool festival too.

166
00:08:25.160 --> 00:08:27.639
Copenhall's a little hash.

167
00:08:27.600 --> 00:08:30.959
Yeah yeah right here, yeah yeah yeah. I'm surprised when

168
00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:32.799
you said what you did about hell Fest that you're

169
00:08:32.799 --> 00:08:35.759
playing Copenhall, because I think that's pretty metal too.

170
00:08:36.120 --> 00:08:36.919
You know you're right.

171
00:08:37.080 --> 00:08:40.639
I agree, And so what else do you want to

172
00:08:40.639 --> 00:08:43.120
tell the listeners you got coming up throughout the year

173
00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:44.799
or whatever that you want to promote.

174
00:08:45.080 --> 00:08:49.000
Shoot, we got some releases that we're gonna do from now.

175
00:08:49.559 --> 00:08:52.600
Between now and next year, we got some cool stuff

176
00:08:52.639 --> 00:08:57.600
planned for like the twenty fifth anniversary of Anthology. We've

177
00:08:58.000 --> 00:09:01.039
we've done some other recordings, like that's a single we're

178
00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:03.600
gonna probably put out before that. It's a little bit

179
00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:05.840
of a surprise and we got to keep some of

180
00:09:05.879 --> 00:09:09.440
it mysterious. Besides that, we're just kind of on and

181
00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:11.559
off touring dates in the US.

182
00:09:11.960 --> 00:09:13.799
We'll be back here in November.

183
00:09:13.840 --> 00:09:17.120
Well, we come out here for that Boomtown Festival, literally

184
00:09:17.360 --> 00:09:21.000
coming out to London for one off, which we've done

185
00:09:21.039 --> 00:09:23.840
before and it's interesting. But and then we'll be in

186
00:09:23.879 --> 00:09:25.879
Germany with Skindred and Nice.

187
00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:26.960
Yeah.

188
00:09:27.000 --> 00:09:30.279
And so I think you should remove Smooth Criminal from

189
00:09:30.320 --> 00:09:33.679
the line up and put in ABC. What do you

190
00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:38.000
think I'm down do it? Maybe you should wait, you

191
00:09:38.039 --> 00:09:41.639
should do like a whole set of Jackson five.

192
00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:44.720
But it sounds like a lot of work.

193
00:09:47.000 --> 00:09:50.080
Well, you guys fucking rock and I can't believe I

194
00:09:50.120 --> 00:09:52.600
saw you here at download right, you see it again,

00:09:53.240 --> 00:09:55.519
