I'm like, might be time to paddle back to shop. Yeah, straight off, fuck send yourself in. So your new music, you've kind of with your new music, you've kind of evolved from just that normal Australian punk that they want to put you in this box. But now you've expanded. To tell us about that. It was not necessarily like a conscious decision to expand, but I think we just wanted to keep progressing on what we were doing. And no, we never felt really trapped in a box or anything. So we just wanted to keep just making cool shit. Now we're all into and.

5:07 I think that's part of being a musician as to go on. You want to try different shit exactly. Yeah. I remember when I was first playing guitar as a kid and my dad was like, you should give that up, you suck. But all I was doing is try to find out what strange noises I can make out. Yeah. Yeah. And then I did play drums before that. Yeah, sucked at that, But so now I do this. Yea beautiful. Yeah, there you go. So where else do you perform in the States on while you're here?

The Norway ones are usually pre yeah yeah, Trump trumso festal nice and so what is it that got you into this? Like, what was that moment in your life that you're like, this is all I gotta do? Uh for me? Last I just remember getting handed a bunch of punk sads from my dad when I was a little kid, and I was just like, you know, I remind. Sex Fistols Ship. I was just like I am. It made me angry as a little kid, and then I got a guitar and wanted to do that.

6:41 So nice now me, I was a long hair in the eighties. Yeah, I get who liked punk, but I couldn't go to punk shows because I would get my ass kicked. Yeah. Yeah, so I'm like super excited. Next month I'll be a download for the Sex Festivals, even though it's not the original, but yeah, still span I never got to see. There's a lot of bands I couldn't see when I was Is that unreal to you that you can't go to a show? Yeah? Yeah, like it's wild now it's cool nowadays. We actually toured with the Sex Whistles in Australia a couple of months ago. How was that? It was great? Yeah, it was really good. I like Frank Frank Cotta. Yeah, yeah, and yeah it was real good, very cool.

7:24 I listened to I've watched some of the videos. He sounds pretty good. Yeah, he fucking nails it. Nice. So what can we expect from you guys? Here? You're gonna be on the stage a little, a little bit here, a punk rock bowling. Well, you got a lot of news ship. We're playing that no one's heard before. So we got an album coming out in about a week. So I playing a bit of that and it's fucking I don't know. We just want people to move around and ship, make make some angry noise. So I love it. I love it. Let's go back that way, yo, yo. So I ask you why. I asked him too, Like, what was that first thing that you into doing this where you thought this is what I had to do? I hear it. Sorry, what is that.

8:06 Moment in life where you were like you knew this was what you had to do music? So I'm really bumping out here. It's pretty loud here people. So I was saying, what was that one moment in life when you were young that really triggered you to say, Hey, I want to do music. That's a big question right, I'll. Go on there you go. So I was I was a bit older. Actually, I was like twenty years old, and I went to this I was traveling through the desert in Australia, driving an old car across the desert and I got to Perth, which is the most isolated city in the world, and I went into this old shop. I had this old car and I only had a tape player in it.

8:51 And I went to this shop and I said, oh, hey, have you got any tapes? And the guy pulled out this old, dusty box of some guy's old tapes and I was flicking through and I pooked, had a dr I dealing with it. Tape whoa and I put it in my band and I fucking it came on and I was like, holy fuck. And I remember at that moment, I was like, I need honesty for a band. Nice. I remember that was the moment, and. I was just telling them before. I was just telling them before that. You know, when I was younger in the eighties, I was along here so I couldn't go to punk shows until Tri because Dri did it for us and they're one of my favorite bands ever. They always playing near me in what's mom beach and I'm always going mad. They're still badass to this day. They still had that serious fucking energy. What's your story?

9:40 My story would have happened early on. I think, just like listening to the Birds and Ship. When I was a kid, I just always wanted to playing guitar and you know, playing bands and same like the fucking answer. For me, nice. What do you guys think the punk scene is like in your country opposed to here? Well as it is younger, we have a younger history of it like this, I don't know, you guys got some of the greats. You know, we've got a lot to stand up against. It's you know, black flags and chromacs and you know ship. It's like, but we're we've got some really fucking good ship from the eighties, seventies and that. But now it's it's it's turning its head.

10:22 I think it's like people are really getting into it and yeah it's ships on of bands coming out and yeah, well a good yeah, positive shit coming out. And you were saying about the desert, like I've always had this thing I want like Australia. I saw it on TV or whatever, and I don't know, if it's the same place you're talking about where they have those dig outs. The homes are underground because it's so hot. So that's called Cooper Petie Okay. So yeah, yeah, so it's it's as well the opals are and because it's so fucking hot, they build that people live underground there and so that's like that's that's out in the desert. Yeah, and like I don't know why that they should do that fucking here or you can't.

11:02 Do they should definitely do it the Florida, different hard ship, different terrain. But yeah, these open Farmers, like some people like people die over that ship man, people disappear and ship. But yeah, it's it's a pretty crazy serious ship. Yeah, crazy trying to mind looking for the stones. You know, I'm surprised we're not open Farmers. No, I'm sad. It's that Resident Rump hasn't tried to take your opal mate. I don't think he knows about them yet. So keep it under on the d L.
