Here with Austin Made.

12
00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:08.599
I love how you do that. That's why I always

13
00:01:08.680 --> 00:01:10.680
let you do it, because I love how you do that.

14
00:01:11.120 --> 00:01:15.120
Welcome to rock Lahoma, man, Oh my god?

15
00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:16.920
Yeah, yeah, we're out here in the sticks.

16
00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:20.319
Yeah we are. Do you just love this festival or what?

17
00:01:20.799 --> 00:01:23.760
Oh yeah, this is our second or third time to

18
00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:26.120
play it. I think I liked it. I liked it.

19
00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:29.359
We're close to home, so that's cool. I mean, I

20
00:01:29.359 --> 00:01:32.879
say close to home. We're only like twelve or fourteen hours.

21
00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:34.959
But that's close to home when you're an artist.

22
00:01:35.079 --> 00:01:38.959
It's closer than Sacramento or Florida. But I do miss Florida.

23
00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:39.120
Man.

24
00:01:39.159 --> 00:01:42.200
I haven't been there since I guess, well three months ago.

25
00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:47.120
Yeah right, I don't remember if I asked you there,

26
00:01:47.159 --> 00:01:50.400
but did you actually drive on the speedway at Rockville?

27
00:01:50.719 --> 00:01:53.120
Yeah, just for a minute yet obviously not on the

28
00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:55.400
hard curves, but on the flat spot you have to

29
00:01:55.480 --> 00:01:55.840
drive in.

30
00:01:55.959 --> 00:01:58.319
Yeah, it's a trip, right to be able to drive.

31
00:01:58.560 --> 00:02:01.159
Yeah, they don't let you over fast, but you know

32
00:02:01.239 --> 00:02:01.680
you're there.

33
00:02:02.400 --> 00:02:05.719
I asked Christine, who runs media here last time. I

34
00:02:05.760 --> 00:02:08.400
was like, no, I got my skateboard in my jeep.

35
00:02:08.439 --> 00:02:11.120
Can I do you think I'll get my credentials pulled

36
00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:13.319
if I ride the wall on my skateboard?

37
00:02:13.759 --> 00:02:15.240
It'd be hard to do. You'd have to get some

38
00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:16.199
good damn speed.

39
00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:19.120
Oh, it'd be totally hard because even if you stand

40
00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:22.400
on that wall, you fall. Oh yeah, just standing there.

41
00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:27.080
So what's going on with you? Besides for Ockklahoma? What

42
00:02:27.479 --> 00:02:28.759
we want everybody to know about.

43
00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:31.599
I have a new record we've been working on, so

44
00:02:31.879 --> 00:02:33.759
I've been dropping a lot of songs off of that

45
00:02:33.800 --> 00:02:37.400
over the last couple of months, and it's just it's

46
00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:39.759
gonna keep going. I've been writing a bunch. I think

47
00:02:39.759 --> 00:02:42.520
we're about to announce some more tour dates and man,

48
00:02:42.520 --> 00:02:44.960
we're just staying as busy as possible. Really, it's just

49
00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:48.319
a new chapter in life for me. Got a kid

50
00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:50.479
and a wife now, so learning how to do that

51
00:02:50.759 --> 00:02:54.479
and just trying to support the family. And I've got

52
00:02:54.479 --> 00:02:58.199
my dad working for me now currently too, so I'm

53
00:02:58.240 --> 00:03:00.759
just feeling the weight of those things, all travel in

54
00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:02.159
the country and trying to do it safely.

55
00:03:02.479 --> 00:03:03.039
Yeah.

56
00:03:03.759 --> 00:03:06.879
How's the change feel of being somebody that's an artist

57
00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:11.479
traveling the country performing and now you're a dad doing that.

58
00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:14.520
I think it's pretty coolpe I hope my son will

59
00:03:14.599 --> 00:03:17.680
chaerish that, you know, traveling around with us. That's I

60
00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:19.800
think a pretty rare thing. But I mean it's a

61
00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:22.840
lot of stress, yeah, because I mean you go to

62
00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:27.240
big cities and dangerous places a lot of times, and

63
00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:29.319
I've got to be on the lookout twenty four to seven,

64
00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:32.199
and you know, when they're little, they're just so interested

65
00:03:32.199 --> 00:03:32.759
in everything.

66
00:03:32.960 --> 00:03:33.159
Yeah.

67
00:03:33.240 --> 00:03:37.080
No, I'm figuring that part out, and.

68
00:03:37.039 --> 00:03:39.439
It's just it's tough to juggle, right, you know.

69
00:03:39.719 --> 00:03:43.800
I've been doing this for probably coming up on fifteen years,

70
00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:46.280
so it's just part of my life. But everything's new

71
00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:48.960
and fresh to him and the wife as well, so

72
00:03:49.039 --> 00:03:51.719
they're learning the rugged part of the road.

73
00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:54.240
You know, what does the wife think about going out

74
00:03:54.240 --> 00:03:56.919
on the road. It's one thing when you like fantasize

75
00:03:56.960 --> 00:03:59.840
about it, and then another thing when you do it.

76
00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:03.680
I think she realizes how much I work and how

77
00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:07.199
many different jobs I do within the band, and so

78
00:04:08.439 --> 00:04:11.560
I mean there's some days that I'm the tour manager,

79
00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:16.680
production manager, front man like logistical guy, and sometimes also

80
00:04:16.720 --> 00:04:19.759
the driver. So there's a lot of hats to wear.

81
00:04:19.920 --> 00:04:23.240
So she's helped me out right now, write an upset list,

82
00:04:23.319 --> 00:04:26.279
and she's always willing to fill in on the spots

83
00:04:26.279 --> 00:04:27.199
that she can for me.

84
00:04:27.560 --> 00:04:29.519
See, it's good to have a partner like that. I

85
00:04:29.519 --> 00:04:32.399
think that's important, especially being a musician on the road.

86
00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:34.519
I told her at the beginning, I said, hey, I

87
00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:36.199
want you to come along with me for this ride,

88
00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:37.720
but you got to know it might be a little rough.

89
00:04:37.759 --> 00:04:40.319
And that's kind of the sentiment that started the song

90
00:04:40.360 --> 00:04:43.399
Happier Alone. That really gave us a chance to do

91
00:04:43.439 --> 00:04:46.120
it for a living. So I don't know, dude, I'm

92
00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:46.879
just living.

93
00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:47.560
There it is.

94
00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:51.240
And I love what you were saying because I say

95
00:04:51.600 --> 00:04:55.360
almost all the time that people don't realize how much

96
00:04:55.519 --> 00:04:57.759
work an artist does. They think you just go and

97
00:04:57.800 --> 00:04:59.720
have a good time and party and that's it. And

98
00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:02.680
it's like that's the smallest part.

99
00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:03.079
Of the job.

100
00:05:03.480 --> 00:05:05.279
Yeah. I try to enjoy days like this when I

101
00:05:05.279 --> 00:05:07.240
can see friends and talk to folks, because there's a

102
00:05:07.279 --> 00:05:10.959
lot of days where we're in between the in between

103
00:05:10.959 --> 00:05:15.199
the highways NonStop and yeah, you know, got oil and

104
00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:18.759
dirt all over us, fixing shit and setting up everywhere, sweating,

105
00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:21.319
staying up late, trying to trying to be nice and

106
00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:24.240
entertain people. And when people come out to a show

107
00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:26.399
or meet us, like I really do want to leave

108
00:05:26.399 --> 00:05:28.480
a good impression. And sometimes for those people it's like

109
00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:32.079
they've been waiting months or sometimes even years to see

110
00:05:32.120 --> 00:05:35.720
as if it's in a new spot, and I just

111
00:05:35.759 --> 00:05:38.800
try to be as cordial as I can, even if

112
00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:39.680
I'm having a bad day.

113
00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:39.920
You know.

114
00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:43.720
See, I love hearing that too, because we all have

115
00:05:43.839 --> 00:05:47.759
bad days. Yeah, but that doesn't mean fans want to

116
00:05:47.800 --> 00:05:51.680
experience those bad days. And sometimes it's just nice to

117
00:05:51.720 --> 00:05:54.680
be able to know that you're acknowledged by the artists

118
00:05:54.720 --> 00:05:56.399
and they're not in a bad mood.

119
00:05:56.680 --> 00:05:59.399
Yeah, there's two sides of it, for sure. I do

120
00:05:59.439 --> 00:06:02.360
hate whenever if I'm in a rush or have a

121
00:06:02.360 --> 00:06:05.639
lot going on, and especially if somebody is like super

122
00:06:05.639 --> 00:06:07.639
hammered and they're trying to talk to me, and I'm like, oh,

123
00:06:07.680 --> 00:06:11.480
this guy's drunk as hell. Like cool, but you know

124
00:06:11.839 --> 00:06:14.800
it just there's an understanding on both sides, like I

125
00:06:14.839 --> 00:06:18.839
don't have time to go to your after party necessarily,

126
00:06:18.879 --> 00:06:21.920
but I'll definitely have a conversation. And some people get pissed,

127
00:06:21.920 --> 00:06:23.879
they're like, oh, this guy wouldn't come to my ranch

128
00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:26.279
after party. I'm like, dude, I would. I definitely would

129
00:06:26.319 --> 00:06:27.439
have when I was twenty one.

130
00:06:27.480 --> 00:06:31.399
Right right, And you're right, they have to see your

131
00:06:31.560 --> 00:06:35.040
side of it too, and like I think they also

132
00:06:35.079 --> 00:06:37.519
don't think of everybody's wanting you to go to their

133
00:06:37.560 --> 00:06:38.319
after party.

134
00:06:38.480 --> 00:06:40.920
Yeah, you know, so you can't be everywhere.

135
00:06:41.120 --> 00:06:44.560
Yeah, I wish I could at another place in time.

136
00:06:44.600 --> 00:06:46.240
I think I was trying to do that a bunch,

137
00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:48.920
but a little different point in my life now.

138
00:06:49.079 --> 00:06:55.319
You know, right, exactly, what's your favorite or what's one

139
00:06:55.439 --> 00:07:00.120
question that never gets asked in irview that you wish

140
00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:01.120
press would ask you.

141
00:07:02.399 --> 00:07:03.920
I can go a bunch of different directions with this,

142
00:07:04.040 --> 00:07:07.240
but as far as applicable touring knowledge for bands that

143
00:07:07.319 --> 00:07:11.120
are doing it, nobody ever asks about the mechanical side

144
00:07:11.319 --> 00:07:14.199
of traveling around the country or building up your contacts

145
00:07:14.240 --> 00:07:16.720
to like get you from point A to B. Like

146
00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:19.160
when your shit breaks down, who are you gonna call?

147
00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:22.399
Do you know how to service like the basics of

148
00:07:22.720 --> 00:07:25.040
the vehicle that is getting you around the country and

149
00:07:25.319 --> 00:07:26.879
eventually get to a point where you make so much

150
00:07:26.920 --> 00:07:29.120
money where it doesn't matter you rent or you call

151
00:07:29.160 --> 00:07:32.079
people in and they fix it immediately. But like you

152
00:07:32.199 --> 00:07:35.160
just have to have general knowledge of how to get

153
00:07:35.199 --> 00:07:38.759
around the world essentially, which that's the biggest part that

154
00:07:38.759 --> 00:07:40.720
everybody overlooks. So I want to be a rock star.

155
00:07:40.720 --> 00:07:43.720
I want to make music and tour. Touring is literally

156
00:07:43.800 --> 00:07:48.560
the hardest part, right, So, yeah, I do a lot

157
00:07:48.600 --> 00:07:49.399
of oil changes.

158
00:07:50.160 --> 00:07:52.399
Nice, So, like, if you don't know how to do

159
00:07:52.439 --> 00:07:55.040
an oil change, you got a problem, huh.

160
00:07:55.120 --> 00:07:57.560
Yeah. And if you don't know when somebody's scamming you

161
00:07:57.600 --> 00:08:00.480
out of something, or just the basic mechanics ofs and

162
00:08:00.600 --> 00:08:04.879
engines and air and all that, then you better start learning.

163
00:08:04.920 --> 00:08:07.879
Exactly, especially if it breaks down and you're on timing

164
00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:10.439
issue and it has to get done now. People like

165
00:08:10.519 --> 00:08:12.480
look at that, it's like that's a perfect time to

166
00:08:12.480 --> 00:08:13.480
take advantage.

167
00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:15.279
Of Yeah, that and you're usually on the other side

168
00:08:15.319 --> 00:08:18.000
of the country where you know nobody exactly. You'd be

169
00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:20.240
stuck on the side of a mountain in a dangerous situation.

170
00:08:20.279 --> 00:08:21.839
That's happened to us some multiple times.

171
00:08:23.240 --> 00:08:27.720
And what would you say the best question you ever

172
00:08:27.759 --> 00:08:29.079
heard in an interview.

173
00:08:28.839 --> 00:08:32.200
Was I don't know, maybe I haven't been asked it yet.

174
00:08:32.679 --> 00:08:36.600
I like that answer. That's a good answer. Favorite tattoo

175
00:08:36.639 --> 00:08:40.679
you have or most meaningful or both.

176
00:08:42.320 --> 00:08:45.159
My hand is like a compass that's melting, and it's

177
00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:48.600
like a clock as well, and it's it's the clock

178
00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:51.279
is pointy to two twenty eight, which was our wedding

179
00:08:51.279 --> 00:08:54.080
anniversary for me and my wife, So wow, it's kind

180
00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:56.759
of a hidden gym there. And then I have a

181
00:08:56.840 --> 00:08:59.159
jet on my neck for my kids, so you know.

182
00:08:59.519 --> 00:09:00.000
I love it.

183
00:09:00.279 --> 00:09:03.399
See that's cool that I think you have to hear

184
00:09:03.480 --> 00:09:07.399
the stories of people's tattoos, you know, like sometimes you

185
00:09:07.399 --> 00:09:09.440
can look at, oh that's cool tattoo, but I think

186
00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:10.720
the story's even cooler.

187
00:09:10.799 --> 00:09:12.559
I've got some dumbass ones. I have a New York

188
00:09:12.559 --> 00:09:15.799
pizza on my leg. I have a little mouse that

189
00:09:16.039 --> 00:09:19.480
I can't remember what the term was, but we were like, oh,

190
00:09:19.759 --> 00:09:21.519
rat pack is what we used to call our crew,

191
00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:24.000
so they all got rats and I got a mouse

192
00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:27.200
because I was a little different. Mouse and cheese.

193
00:09:27.399 --> 00:09:27.840
I love it.

194
00:09:27.919 --> 00:09:31.200
I have a woodshipper on the back of my leg,

195
00:09:31.240 --> 00:09:33.799
almost on my ass. It's a wood shipper with the

196
00:09:33.879 --> 00:09:36.080
leg going in it from Fargo the movie, because we

197
00:09:36.080 --> 00:09:39.639
were in Fargo, North Dakota. So yeah, that was interesting.

198
00:09:39.679 --> 00:09:42.440
One too nice. I like the New York Pizza one

199
00:09:42.480 --> 00:09:45.320
because like, I'm born in New York and to me,

200
00:09:45.440 --> 00:09:47.759
there's no better pizza than New York Pizza.

201
00:09:47.960 --> 00:09:48.120
There.

202
00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:50.200
It is because it's cheap. You can get a dollar slice.

203
00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:52.120
I'm like, I'll survive for and they're huge.

204
00:09:52.559 --> 00:09:54.720
They're huge for a dollar. You could have your whole

205
00:09:54.759 --> 00:09:55.639
meal for a dollar.

206
00:09:55.799 --> 00:09:57.360
That's what we do. Survive there.

207
00:09:57.360 --> 00:10:00.799

208
00:10:00.879 --> 00:10:02.519
