Rising Brooklyn heavy rock band DAS MOÖSE who will release their debut album, Moösehenge, on October 16th.

Current Singles: “Jingleheim”

Das Moöse has harnessed the sound of heavy metal/punk fused with jam band stylings to craft a sound all their own. Hailing from the savage stoops of brownstone Brooklyn, Das Moöse has become a neighborhood favorite with their powerful live performances and funny, hard-hitting songs.

Singer/guitarist Adam Dubin brings his ample experience playing in The Stoned and filming multiple music legends (Metallica, Beastie Boys) to the fore with Das Moöse. His style is a blend of Ramones and Led Zeppelin with a dash of comic timing thrown in for good measure.

The album track “Traction Park Massacre (Don’t Cry For Me)" will be featured in the upcoming horror movie “Traction Park Massacre.”

Their new debut album Moösehenge is powerful witches brew of heavy metal and punk rock with a healthy dose of southern twang soulful melody.

In our new music video “Traction Park Massacre (Don’t Cry For Me) coming out next week, Alex Skolnick of Testment introduces the song as his alter ego “Count Von Skolitor.” Alex played keyboards on the song. It’s going to be a lot of fun. Besides playing the song, Joel (the other guitar player) and myself put on Luchidor wrestling masks and get in a fight that mimics the onstage ending of Jane’s Addiction. The band attended the last full show of JA and they broke up in Boston the next show. And I don a gorilla suit and play the same beat up Gibson SG guitar that I played in the music video for “No Sleep Till Brooklyn.”

Adam C. Dubin is an American filmmaker who co-directed the Beastie Boys music videos " Fight for Your Right" and "No Sleep till Brooklyn" with Ric Menello. "Fight for Your Right" is number three on MTV's all time funniest music videos

Singer/guitarist Joel Bloom leans into his jam band influences to bring a loose good time vibe to the hard-hitting repertoire.

Drummer Drew Haase, a veteran of the 90’s Austin bar band scene, is the cool hand behind the drum kit giving the songs a powerful and driving pace.

Rounding out the rhythm section on bass is Rob Kassabian with his fluid and melodic attack.

00:01:16.879 --> 00:01:20.840
a new album coming out, the debut album Moosehenge, and

17
00:01:20.959 --> 00:01:22.719
I have that album right behind me.

18
00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:27.879
Yes, it is so tell us.

19
00:01:28.359 --> 00:01:32.560
I'm totally into album covers, okay, because I come from

20
00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:36.200
that time, you know, and that's how you picked what

21
00:01:36.359 --> 00:01:40.599
albums you bought, Like you know you have on this album.

22
00:01:40.680 --> 00:01:43.680
You have Alex playing with you from Tessamon. You know,

23
00:01:43.959 --> 00:01:46.599
the only way I know about Tessamon is getting and

24
00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:48.760
seeing one of our albums way back in the early

25
00:01:48.840 --> 00:01:51.599
age and going, wow, that looks cool. I'm going to

26
00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:55.000
take a Greyhound bus from la up to the Frisco

27
00:01:55.159 --> 00:01:58.719
area to the Bay Area to go check out a show.

28
00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:03.200
That's right, you remember it well well that I also

29
00:02:03.319 --> 00:02:07.439
came from that era when albums were the thing. And

30
00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:09.960
of course what's great about you have, you know, twelve

31
00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:13.159
inches by twelve inches of artwork and you could like

32
00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:16.199
open up and look at and learn who was involved

33
00:02:16.240 --> 00:02:20.039
with making it and and uh so I got for

34
00:02:20.199 --> 00:02:22.560
the album cover before we even talk about like like

35
00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:27.120
what's in it, one of the great Bay Area artists

36
00:02:27.159 --> 00:02:30.319
who who really was part of the Bay Area thrash scene.

37
00:02:30.680 --> 00:02:32.680
And his name is Mark Devido, So he's one of

38
00:02:32.719 --> 00:02:38.199
those classic artists and and he's gonna uh I got

39
00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:40.919
him to do the cover and the back cover and

40
00:02:41.080 --> 00:02:43.039
it and it looks like a classic thing. It looks

41
00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:46.560
and specifically about this cover, I had the idea, I mean,

42
00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:48.439
moose Enge was just like a great title. I said,

43
00:02:48.479 --> 00:02:51.599
what's what sounds heavy? Moose Enge? You know it's because

44
00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:54.080
I new to get the Stonehenge things put the antlers

45
00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:57.960
on it. But where I got that that glow around

46
00:02:58.039 --> 00:03:01.240
it was and you'll appreciate this. You remember the Kiss

47
00:03:01.319 --> 00:03:05.960
solo albums, right and Faces with the Glow and that

48
00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:08.199
one the specific one. I said, I want the color

49
00:03:08.520 --> 00:03:10.759
of Ace Frehley because I thought that was the coolest

50
00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:13.919
looking one, you know, and it was like blew that

51
00:03:14.039 --> 00:03:15.879
he he had and I was like, that's the color

52
00:03:15.960 --> 00:03:19.080
I want. And of course Mark Mark the Veto understood

53
00:03:19.080 --> 00:03:23.199
it quite well, and that's that's where that came from.

54
00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:26.319
We were kind of like, yeah, that's that's the look.

55
00:03:26.400 --> 00:03:28.599
And it just tells you kind of you know that

56
00:03:28.719 --> 00:03:31.199
we're you know what kind of heavier music, but that

57
00:03:31.319 --> 00:03:33.479
we also got to sense a humor about ourselves as well,

58
00:03:33.599 --> 00:03:34.080
So that's.

59
00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:40.120
Good, which also describes Ace Frehley anyway, because great guitarist

60
00:03:40.199 --> 00:03:41.479
but also funny guy.

61
00:03:42.039 --> 00:03:44.680
You know, that's right, that's right. You know one of

62
00:03:44.759 --> 00:03:45.639
my absolute favorites.

63
00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:48.199
I mean that you know, defining moment for me was

64
00:03:48.719 --> 00:03:51.120
was definitely when I got my hands on that Kiss

65
00:03:51.159 --> 00:03:54.120
Alive album. I mean I could burn a hole through

66
00:03:54.159 --> 00:03:56.400
it by looking at it, just looking at that picture,

67
00:03:56.479 --> 00:03:58.639
you know what I mean, And that back cover just

68
00:03:58.759 --> 00:03:59.560
kills me, you.

69
00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:04.280
Know, so you know, check this out speaking those. I

70
00:04:04.360 --> 00:04:07.360
think everybody has a Kiss story, you know, and like

71
00:04:07.919 --> 00:04:11.719
for me, I grew up in Jersey before I moved

72
00:04:11.759 --> 00:04:15.479
to LA in nineteen eighty. But my first album I

73
00:04:15.719 --> 00:04:18.480
ever owned personally, not one that I stole from my

74
00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:23.360
older brothers, but mine I won at the boardwalk in

75
00:04:23.480 --> 00:04:26.639
Seaside Heights at one of those Carnie games. I look

76
00:04:26.759 --> 00:04:28.800
up and they were all albums and I just saw

77
00:04:29.560 --> 00:04:32.439
this album up there with these four dudes, and I thought, look,

78
00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:36.279
the coolest ever. And I was a kid, and it

79
00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:39.600
was the original Kiss album when it first came out.

80
00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:44.279
Wow, right, that goes right to the source. Man, that's

81
00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:44.800
the beginning.

82
00:04:44.920 --> 00:04:48.639
Yeah, I think that prepared me for everything else after that,

83
00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:49.879
to be honest.

84
00:04:49.639 --> 00:04:53.199
You know, absolutely absolutely. If you can handle that, I mean,

85
00:04:53.920 --> 00:04:56.560
you're there, you know, it's like I was. I was.

86
00:04:56.639 --> 00:05:01.000
Fortunately I came in about that album Alive and then

87
00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:04.879
Rock and Roll over, and I convinced my father, who

88
00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:09.480
just show how far apart it is listened to Opera

89
00:05:10.519 --> 00:05:13.240
to take me to their concert in nineteen seventy six,

90
00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:14.959
and I was the first concert he took me to.

91
00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:16.920
This also the last concert he took me to, so

92
00:05:17.439 --> 00:05:19.439
he was not interested in what was.

93
00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:22.040
Going on there, Although you know, in hindsight I think

94
00:05:22.040 --> 00:05:24.519
about it, it's not that far from opera in a

95
00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:26.759
certain kind of sense, you know, the theatricality of it.

96
00:05:26.879 --> 00:05:31.480
But the volume and the pirate technics I think just

97
00:05:31.519 --> 00:05:34.480
got him and and so. And by the way, back

98
00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:37.519
in those days, you could choke on the marijuana smoke

99
00:05:37.600 --> 00:05:40.720
in the room. I mean it was like it was

100
00:05:40.839 --> 00:05:43.120
like it was it was like it was like a fog.

101
00:05:43.720 --> 00:05:46.600
And yeah, but you know whatever, I saw them, and

102
00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:48.600
I was just like, all right, I'm rock and roll

103
00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:50.360
for life. I don't care about anything anymore.

104
00:05:51.240 --> 00:05:54.680
And uh so, Itz, it's interesting too that you brought

105
00:05:54.759 --> 00:05:57.399
that up, because I was just talking about I was

106
00:05:57.480 --> 00:06:00.279
just covering After Shock this weekend then, and I was

107
00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:03.279
just talking about that with somebody. It's like, it's so

108
00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:08.759
cool to me that back in our day, our parents'

109
00:06:08.920 --> 00:06:14.120
music was so far from ours, you know, and nowadays

110
00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:19.240
our generation is bringing their kids and bringing their Like

111
00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:22.519
I brought my sons first mashpit. I brought a couple

112
00:06:22.600 --> 00:06:26.319
of my grandkids into their first mosh pit, and like,

113
00:06:27.079 --> 00:06:31.439
I'm the cool dead and grandpa because of music opposed

114
00:06:31.480 --> 00:06:34.879
to the un cool dad of music.

115
00:06:35.399 --> 00:06:37.720
She right, who doesn't like it and says it's bad, Right,

116
00:06:38.160 --> 00:06:41.439
It's like, yeah, it's amazing and after Shock's a great festival.

117
00:06:41.519 --> 00:06:44.720
I was there in twenty twenty one. It was kind

118
00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:46.959
of when they got back going after Covid and Metallica

119
00:06:47.439 --> 00:06:49.399
headlined over there, and so I was at that one.

120
00:06:50.360 --> 00:06:50.600
Nice.

121
00:06:50.680 --> 00:06:52.800
It was fun to see some bands that over at

122
00:06:52.839 --> 00:06:54.439
that one too. That was that was a nice It

123
00:06:54.519 --> 00:06:56.439
was nice to just see anything at that point. I mean,

124
00:06:56.800 --> 00:06:58.480
we'd all been I think.

125
00:06:58.360 --> 00:07:01.279
That was the year too that had the Bay Area

126
00:07:01.759 --> 00:07:04.279
thrash band all playing there. Pretty much.

127
00:07:05.040 --> 00:07:06.800
There was a lot of it because they were local

128
00:07:06.879 --> 00:07:10.560
and stuff, and you know, traveling was still hard. So yeah,

129
00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:12.120
it was really cool to see. But we were like

130
00:07:12.199 --> 00:07:14.680
in a bubble. We we had to test into like

131
00:07:14.759 --> 00:07:16.720
a bubble and just be there. I had to shoot

132
00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:19.360
some interviews and things, so yeah, it was it was

133
00:07:19.480 --> 00:07:21.000
kind of still heavy duty at the time.

134
00:07:21.120 --> 00:07:21.279
You know.

135
00:07:21.360 --> 00:07:24.439
We didn't nobody wanted to get anybody sick, especially not

136
00:07:24.519 --> 00:07:27.519
the band guys, because you know whatever then like you know,

137
00:07:28.079 --> 00:07:30.160
fifty or a hundred of my friends are out of work,

138
00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:31.720
you know, all these crew guys, no doubt.

139
00:07:32.519 --> 00:07:34.560
So yeah, and we didn't want to shut down again

140
00:07:34.639 --> 00:07:39.079
because life without live music is no good at all

141
00:07:39.240 --> 00:07:40.040
in my opinion.

142
00:07:40.839 --> 00:07:44.240
Yeah, I'm right with you, man. That was it were

143
00:07:44.839 --> 00:07:46.199
we were happy to have it, you know, and we

144
00:07:46.279 --> 00:07:48.199
were happy to have it back. So yeah, that was good.

145
00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:48.800
But it was nice.

146
00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:52.040
I did enjoy being up there, and you know, in

147
00:07:52.120 --> 00:07:55.519
the like northern California area, checking out that festival is

148
00:07:55.519 --> 00:07:56.000
a nice one.

149
00:07:56.839 --> 00:07:57.120
Nice.

150
00:07:57.839 --> 00:08:01.560
So let's talk about your band. What I love about

151
00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:06.279
your band is it combines most everything from my childhood,

152
00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:09.800
especially because I'm both from like the New York, New

153
00:08:09.879 --> 00:08:13.319
Jersey area and from the LA area, you know, and

154
00:08:14.439 --> 00:08:17.120
so it just reminds me of if you just put

155
00:08:17.199 --> 00:08:22.279
together everything that I liked as a teenager. That's dos moos.

156
00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:26.360
Wow, Well, thank you so much.

157
00:08:26.959 --> 00:08:29.000
It's you know, what's what's interesting is I kind of

158
00:08:29.360 --> 00:08:32.600
rounded up this these these these guys who are you know,

159
00:08:32.879 --> 00:08:35.039
like I said, the bonding factors. We all have kids

160
00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:36.720
that are fourteen years old. So we met and I

161
00:08:36.840 --> 00:08:38.799
was just like, you're you know, we need you and

162
00:08:38.879 --> 00:08:41.000
we need you, but everybody comes to it with something,

163
00:08:41.000 --> 00:08:43.080
you know what I mean. And and so my other

164
00:08:43.320 --> 00:08:47.399
guitar player, singer Joel is he comes to it from

165
00:08:47.440 --> 00:08:50.200
a jam band background, and so he kind of brings

166
00:08:50.559 --> 00:08:53.080
a more melodic thing and he, you know, his songs

167
00:08:53.120 --> 00:08:55.519
have these long tail ends with jam, so you know,

168
00:08:55.600 --> 00:09:00.399
he just kind of solos out and everything. Drew, my drummer,

169
00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:05.399
Drew has is great drummer. He was professionally did it

170
00:09:05.480 --> 00:09:08.039
in Austin, Texas for a bunch of years in the nineties.

171
00:09:08.679 --> 00:09:12.960
And my bass player, Rock Kassabian, great player, comes from

172
00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:20.120
the the Washington DC like kind of hardcore scene and

173
00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:23.080
punk scene, and so he's got a real good attack

174
00:09:23.240 --> 00:09:27.000
on the you know, on the bass and everything comes.

175
00:09:28.639 --> 00:09:30.279
And so what we kind of felt was, you know,

176
00:09:30.320 --> 00:09:32.240
as much as we wanted to be like, like really

177
00:09:32.320 --> 00:09:35.200
heavy on a lot of stuff, the album as I

178
00:09:35.320 --> 00:09:37.519
listened to it now, has a lot of different feels

179
00:09:37.559 --> 00:09:39.720
on it. And the thing that reminds me of not

180
00:09:39.799 --> 00:09:41.960
that we sound like them at all, but is if

181
00:09:42.000 --> 00:09:44.519
you listen to those Great Clash records, by the records

182
00:09:44.559 --> 00:09:47.879
by the Clash, they could play like a few different

183
00:09:47.919 --> 00:09:51.080
styles of music credibly and and just be great, you know,

184
00:09:51.200 --> 00:09:52.960
and just be that. And so they weren't like a

185
00:09:53.559 --> 00:09:55.960
just a fast punk band. Maybe their first record was

186
00:09:56.039 --> 00:09:59.320
but after that they developed into like this really nicely

187
00:09:59.440 --> 00:10:02.279
rounded band, and I always thought, well, that's kind of

188
00:10:02.639 --> 00:10:04.279
that's kind of cool. If you can do that, I meane,

189
00:10:04.279 --> 00:10:06.360
it makes it very interesting anyway, we enjoy it.

190
00:10:06.440 --> 00:10:06.600
You know.

191
00:10:07.480 --> 00:10:09.240
Well, what I think is cool about it is and

192
00:10:09.399 --> 00:10:12.279
especially a lot in music today being like this is

193
00:10:12.679 --> 00:10:15.000
you know, back in our day at all the gatekeepers,

194
00:10:15.080 --> 00:10:18.679
so you couldn't really combine genres like that. You know,

195
00:10:19.279 --> 00:10:21.840
I went to Slayer shows on Friday night and Dead

196
00:10:21.960 --> 00:10:25.240
shows on US in Saturday afternoon, and then you know,

197
00:10:25.960 --> 00:10:28.320
try to go to punk shows Bows the Long Hair

198
00:10:28.440 --> 00:10:30.279
and you'd get your ass beat if you went to

199
00:10:30.919 --> 00:10:34.639
punk shows. So like it's kind of cool just combining

200
00:10:34.759 --> 00:10:38.000
those worlds. Because I talked about this with somebody over

201
00:10:38.080 --> 00:10:42.639
to this weekend. You know, like nobody just likes one

202
00:10:42.919 --> 00:10:47.240
genre of music like that that makes no sense. Like

203
00:10:47.639 --> 00:10:49.799
if you like music, you like music, shirt or some

204
00:10:49.960 --> 00:10:54.000
things you don't like. But for the most part, I

205
00:10:54.120 --> 00:10:56.919
think it depends on what you're doing, what your mood is,

206
00:10:57.559 --> 00:11:00.639
what all those things that you can kind of change

207
00:11:00.639 --> 00:11:02.879
it up. So it's good to have a band that

208
00:11:03.639 --> 00:11:08.000
has that diversity, because sometimes there's albums like you don't

209
00:11:08.000 --> 00:11:10.279
want to listen to the whole album because every single

210
00:11:10.440 --> 00:11:13.720
song is the same song. You know, I'd rather be

211
00:11:14.279 --> 00:11:17.720
more diversified so that I want to take the full

212
00:11:17.840 --> 00:11:21.879
experience of a full album. You know.

213
00:11:21.960 --> 00:11:24.639
I think it's a great point. I mean, certain bands

214
00:11:24.840 --> 00:11:29.519
have have thrived, I guess doing you know, for whatever reason,

215
00:11:29.559 --> 00:11:32.480
they're just you know, they just want to do I mean,

216
00:11:32.559 --> 00:11:34.720
ac DC, you want an ac DC record, you know

217
00:11:34.759 --> 00:11:37.519
what I mean, it just is it just is what

218
00:11:37.759 --> 00:11:40.639
they are, and it's what you want to It's what

219
00:11:40.720 --> 00:11:43.279
you want to hear from them and to say. And

220
00:11:43.320 --> 00:11:46.360
they can vary it slightly, but ever so slightly. And

221
00:11:46.480 --> 00:11:48.759
other bands just have a little more freedom to to

222
00:11:49.360 --> 00:11:49.799
you know, to.

223
00:11:49.840 --> 00:11:52.240
Play around and expand.

224
00:11:52.360 --> 00:11:55.720
And I just think, you know, for us who are

225
00:11:55.759 --> 00:11:59.000
not set yet, I think we're like the kind of sorry,

226
00:11:59.039 --> 00:12:01.200
there's just some noise in the record hall here.

227
00:12:02.919 --> 00:12:03.879
They they.

228
00:12:06.360 --> 00:12:08.279
I think some bands that are that are not like

229
00:12:08.759 --> 00:12:11.879
you know, like set in Stone. Yet in so so

230
00:12:12.000 --> 00:12:14.480
many ways, we just want to like just do what

231
00:12:14.559 --> 00:12:16.799
we want to do and like it was natural if

232
00:12:16.840 --> 00:12:18.080
we feel it, you know what I mean, if we

233
00:12:18.159 --> 00:12:20.279
feel like playing it, we're doing it. I think we

234
00:12:20.360 --> 00:12:23.200
felt like we can do it. What's interesting is you

235
00:12:23.240 --> 00:12:25.840
play these songs out live and they work, and that's

236
00:12:25.840 --> 00:12:29.159
as good a you know, barometer for what's good as

237
00:12:29.240 --> 00:12:31.240
anything else, you know what I mean. You just, yeah,

238
00:12:31.639 --> 00:12:33.480
just go out there and play it live, and if

239
00:12:33.480 --> 00:12:35.559
your audience is receptive and you can feel the crowd,

240
00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:38.399
you can feel when they're when they're feeling this, then

241
00:12:38.559 --> 00:12:40.279
then it's like it's good, you know what I mean,

242
00:12:40.360 --> 00:12:42.759
We're we're on track, and.

243
00:12:42.840 --> 00:12:45.120
That that is a big key because for me, some

244
00:12:45.279 --> 00:12:48.080
of my favorite bands are because I saw them live.

245
00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:50.279
You know, Like there's a lot of bands I saw

246
00:12:50.399 --> 00:12:52.639
back in the eighties that I saw live before I

247
00:12:52.720 --> 00:12:55.200
ever saw an album because either they didn't have an

248
00:12:55.200 --> 00:12:58.919
album yet or you didn't know when an album sounded

249
00:12:59.000 --> 00:13:02.000
like so you bought it. So it was actually cheaper

250
00:13:02.120 --> 00:13:04.919
to go to the show first and then by the album.

251
00:13:06.600 --> 00:13:09.240
Remember that it was risky to risk your those bucks

252
00:13:09.320 --> 00:13:13.240
on like an LP, and you do it sometimes usually

253
00:13:13.279 --> 00:13:15.279
based on the artwork, but you kind of wanted to

254
00:13:15.360 --> 00:13:18.200
know something about them and live show is a great

255
00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:19.600
way to find out, it really.

256
00:13:19.600 --> 00:13:22.240
Was, And I think the energy and the feeling you

257
00:13:22.360 --> 00:13:25.720
get a live show is what makes you like a band.

258
00:13:25.879 --> 00:13:29.960
Like there's bands that I did not like before seeing

259
00:13:30.039 --> 00:13:33.240
their live show, and then I was like, wow, that's great.

260
00:13:33.440 --> 00:13:36.159
And even certain things that I totally did not get,

261
00:13:36.720 --> 00:13:41.080
you know, like certain types of genres, I'm like, yeah, no,

262
00:13:41.360 --> 00:13:43.279
that's not me, and then you see it live and

263
00:13:43.399 --> 00:13:44.879
you're like, oh, I get it now.

264
00:13:45.440 --> 00:13:48.840
Right right. I definitely have that conversion.

265
00:13:48.919 --> 00:13:51.960
I've seen live bands that I just I never thought about,

266
00:13:52.039 --> 00:13:54.720
so I never like either downloaded them or got a

267
00:13:54.799 --> 00:13:56.159
record or whatever, and then you know, I go see

268
00:13:56.200 --> 00:13:56.879
it live and I'm.

269
00:13:56.759 --> 00:14:00.519
Like, oh, yeah, okay, exactly is something.

270
00:14:00.840 --> 00:14:03.679
And sometimes it doesn't live up to live experience. You know,

271
00:14:03.799 --> 00:14:06.279
sometimes the best thing a band does is live. You

272
00:14:06.320 --> 00:14:09.799
mentioned the Grateful Dead, and that's maybe the best example,

273
00:14:09.960 --> 00:14:13.279
you know, yeah, something about that collective energy and what

274
00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:15.759
those guys were able to do with it. I was

275
00:14:15.840 --> 00:14:18.799
not a Dead fan when I was younger, although I

276
00:14:19.080 --> 00:14:22.639
was fortunate to attend the show, and now I value them.

277
00:14:22.720 --> 00:14:24.720
I think they're terrific. I'd listen to much more of it,

278
00:14:24.879 --> 00:14:25.039
you know.

279
00:14:25.840 --> 00:14:27.879
Well, you know, it's funny you should say that too,

280
00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:31.200
because that's kind of who I am. Like, the live

281
00:14:31.480 --> 00:14:34.679
Dead show is just the experience and them jamming the

282
00:14:34.799 --> 00:14:37.759
way they did. And there's some songs I like to

283
00:14:37.879 --> 00:14:40.759
listen to there on the albums, but I'm not that

284
00:14:41.039 --> 00:14:44.080
deadhead that can sit there and listen to them twenty

285
00:14:44.159 --> 00:14:47.919
four to seven, you know, studio especially. You know, it's

286
00:14:48.000 --> 00:14:50.840
like you got to be there experience it, and you know,

287
00:14:50.960 --> 00:14:54.120
because every experience was different was the key, you know.

288
00:14:55.720 --> 00:15:00.320
And then there's some songs that just they play live better,

289
00:15:00.720 --> 00:15:01.799
you know, no matter what.

290
00:15:02.799 --> 00:15:06.840
Yes, yeah, it's just that collective experience. There's no getting

291
00:15:06.879 --> 00:15:09.960
around it. And you know whatever I mean. I just

292
00:15:10.200 --> 00:15:13.519
came back from Mexico City. I saw Metallica play live,

293
00:15:13.600 --> 00:15:16.000
and it's just like that's one of my favorite places

294
00:15:16.039 --> 00:15:19.000
to see them, Mexico City because the audience is just

295
00:15:19.159 --> 00:15:22.799
next level off the hook, and it was just like

296
00:15:22.879 --> 00:15:25.440
the greatest live experience, you know, to just to be

297
00:15:25.600 --> 00:15:28.039
there collectively and feel what's.

298
00:15:27.879 --> 00:15:30.159
Going on there. You know, it's just so powerful.

299
00:15:30.720 --> 00:15:33.039
So that's you know, great live shows, a great live show.

300
00:15:33.519 --> 00:15:35.559
It's a funny thing we were at and we kind

301
00:15:35.559 --> 00:15:37.360
of reenact a little of this in the music video.

302
00:15:38.639 --> 00:15:41.600
We're Me and the band. We're all fans of Jane's addiction.

303
00:15:41.720 --> 00:15:42.799
We just we just like that.

304
00:15:42.960 --> 00:15:45.360
You know, we're just fans of it, so we bought tickets.

305
00:15:45.399 --> 00:15:47.080
We went as a group. It's one of the only

306
00:15:47.159 --> 00:15:49.200
things I think we went as a group as and

307
00:15:49.320 --> 00:15:51.399
we went to what I guess turns out to be

308
00:15:51.480 --> 00:15:55.279
the last live show, full show of Jane's addiction. We

309
00:15:55.399 --> 00:15:58.000
were at the show before the show where the fight

310
00:15:58.120 --> 00:16:01.960
breaks out and that's the end of them. So it

311
00:16:02.080 --> 00:16:03.440
was and they were great, by the way, I'll say.

312
00:16:03.440 --> 00:16:05.639
The night we saw them, they were terrific. We drove

313
00:16:05.679 --> 00:16:07.200
home going like, oh my god, that was great and

314
00:16:07.480 --> 00:16:10.200
we love seeing them. So we kind of reenact that

315
00:16:10.360 --> 00:16:12.600
in the music video. We put on Lucia door masks

316
00:16:12.639 --> 00:16:17.360
like wrestling Mexican wrestling masks and and like reenact Perry

317
00:16:17.440 --> 00:16:20.320
Feral Dave Navarro fight, you know.

318
00:16:21.519 --> 00:16:25.600
So but we we love those guys. It's not against them.

319
00:16:25.639 --> 00:16:28.440
We really we really enjoyed the show. Well it was.

320
00:16:28.720 --> 00:16:30.639
It definitely had to be a bad night because like

321
00:16:30.960 --> 00:16:35.080
I didn't really imagine. I know, I know there's tension,

322
00:16:35.120 --> 00:16:38.159
but I never imagined Perry Farrell of all people to

323
00:16:38.360 --> 00:16:42.720
like do that, like, so you know, there's there's stuff

324
00:16:42.799 --> 00:16:45.240
we don't know. So for all the haters out there,

325
00:16:45.840 --> 00:16:48.519
like you don't know what's going on in somebody's life

326
00:16:48.639 --> 00:16:53.120
or behind the scenes to judge them. You know, there's

327
00:16:53.279 --> 00:16:56.399
always tension in bands, especially the longer you've been a

328
00:16:56.519 --> 00:17:00.279
band together, like you know, especially people you know, start

329
00:17:00.320 --> 00:17:03.159
off as high school bands, Like how many of us

330
00:17:03.240 --> 00:17:05.480
can really get along with our high school friends at

331
00:17:05.519 --> 00:17:06.519
this stage of life.

332
00:17:06.960 --> 00:17:10.440
That's all right, so we you know, it's a great point.

333
00:17:10.480 --> 00:17:12.559
So that takes me back when I was I was

334
00:17:12.680 --> 00:17:16.880
in the studio, I filmed Metallica for many many times.

335
00:17:16.960 --> 00:17:19.720
But you know what I looked for was like these

336
00:17:19.799 --> 00:17:23.720
moments where because also in that tension is where the

337
00:17:24.079 --> 00:17:28.839
the creative you know, engine often lies. And and so

338
00:17:29.359 --> 00:17:30.920
you know, we saw the whole world got to look

339
00:17:30.920 --> 00:17:33.119
at it when they released this footage, when when the

340
00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:35.559
when the Beatles put that get Back footage out there, right,

341
00:17:35.640 --> 00:17:37.920
you could see it right there, and not that they

342
00:17:37.960 --> 00:17:41.720
were always fighting, but there was tension, and even when

343
00:17:41.720 --> 00:17:43.680
they're getting along, it was like still there's there's a

344
00:17:43.759 --> 00:17:45.599
there's a power to it. But when I you know,

345
00:17:45.720 --> 00:17:48.920
my personal experience was you know, Metallica, and there's there's

346
00:17:48.960 --> 00:17:52.440
a moment that I always remember of Lars where he

347
00:17:52.559 --> 00:17:55.039
was trying to get something complicated, a drum thing, and

348
00:17:55.119 --> 00:17:57.960
he couldn't get it, and he took the the drumstick

349
00:17:57.960 --> 00:18:02.119
and he stabs it through the snare. And over the

350
00:18:02.200 --> 00:18:05.359
years now I put that out. That came out thirty

351
00:18:05.400 --> 00:18:08.519
two years ago, and it's like, I can't tell you

352
00:18:08.559 --> 00:18:13.079
how many times I've talked to musicians, particularly drummers, but

353
00:18:13.200 --> 00:18:16.359
not always and they've said, yeah, that you caught it

354
00:18:16.480 --> 00:18:19.279
on film. I've done that, but you caught that on film,

355
00:18:19.880 --> 00:18:23.960
And right there is the creative tension. You're trying to

356
00:18:24.160 --> 00:18:26.720
get something and you're working at it so hard and

357
00:18:26.880 --> 00:18:29.200
you can hear it in your head but you can't

358
00:18:29.319 --> 00:18:33.960
get it down, and that comes out and it's one

359
00:18:34.000 --> 00:18:38.000
of those moments that's I think it causes you to

360
00:18:38.079 --> 00:18:39.960
get better because I think you come back in and

361
00:18:40.079 --> 00:18:43.079
you figure out a way to conquer that, and you know,

362
00:18:43.559 --> 00:18:46.559
the world gets a song like Enter Sandman out of it,

363
00:18:46.720 --> 00:18:49.119
you know, And that's what's amazing about that.

364
00:18:50.400 --> 00:18:53.200
And that seems to be a story quite often too,

365
00:18:53.519 --> 00:18:57.400
So it's not like it's a unique story. You know,

366
00:18:58.039 --> 00:19:01.960
those things happen because listen siblings where they have sibling

367
00:19:02.119 --> 00:19:05.079
rivalry when you're in a band. You're like siblings and

368
00:19:05.200 --> 00:19:08.559
you're together twenty four seven. How could there not be tension?

369
00:19:09.119 --> 00:19:12.640
You know? Yeah, no, it's true.

370
00:19:13.039 --> 00:19:16.240
It breeds it. Now if we're getting to our record

371
00:19:18.240 --> 00:19:20.559
we're we're not that kind of We're not in it

372
00:19:20.720 --> 00:19:22.759
that much. It's it's, you know, we're we got a

373
00:19:22.799 --> 00:19:25.000
long fine. I mean, the guys we actually have a

374
00:19:25.039 --> 00:19:26.480
lot of fun. We're friends. We could go out for

375
00:19:26.559 --> 00:19:29.559
drinks just as well as do you know, do the

376
00:19:29.680 --> 00:19:32.359
music or play a live show. So it's been an

377
00:19:32.480 --> 00:19:36.400
entertaining thing. But again there's not The reason is because there's.

378
00:19:36.240 --> 00:19:37.079
Not the pressure on us.

379
00:19:37.240 --> 00:19:39.559
We're not doing it night after night and doing it

380
00:19:39.640 --> 00:19:42.759
at a certain high achieving level, which is amazing. I mean,

381
00:19:42.759 --> 00:19:46.119
I watch friends in various bands. You mentioned Alex Colnick

382
00:19:46.119 --> 00:19:48.680
in testament. I saw them the other night and I

383
00:19:48.880 --> 00:19:51.960
just was like, I'm amazed. I watch what two guitar

384
00:19:52.039 --> 00:19:55.319
players Alex Alex Click and Eric Peterson do, and they

385
00:19:55.559 --> 00:19:58.799
the way they lock it in together, and it's it's magnificent.

386
00:19:58.920 --> 00:20:03.200
It's just amazing. Now do that night after night while

387
00:20:03.240 --> 00:20:06.880
traveling around the country. It's it's hard, it's hard, and

388
00:20:07.119 --> 00:20:09.799
you know, and then do it for years and it's

389
00:20:09.839 --> 00:20:12.519
amazing those guys are just you know, all these guys

390
00:20:12.519 --> 00:20:14.160
who were doing it and gals who were doing it,

391
00:20:14.519 --> 00:20:16.640
it just knocks me out. So yeah, it's something to

392
00:20:16.680 --> 00:20:18.839
definitely strive for and to admire, you know.

393
00:20:19.599 --> 00:20:22.480
Yeah, and I think it should be fun. So I'm

394
00:20:22.519 --> 00:20:25.160
glad you guys are having fun with it. And just

395
00:20:25.240 --> 00:20:28.480
the fact that you did the whole Jane's addiction thing

396
00:20:28.640 --> 00:20:29.960
just tells me you're having fun.

397
00:20:30.279 --> 00:20:30.559
Listen.

398
00:20:30.720 --> 00:20:33.359
Yeah, if you're not having fun in this business, it

399
00:20:33.480 --> 00:20:37.200
could be not fun, like seriously not fun.

400
00:20:37.519 --> 00:20:39.640
Right, So that was kind of the fun thing about

401
00:20:39.640 --> 00:20:41.599
getting these guys together to play because I kind of,

402
00:20:41.759 --> 00:20:43.720
you know, I've just looked at it as like I've

403
00:20:43.799 --> 00:20:46.200
known so many people in so many bands, and like

404
00:20:46.240 --> 00:20:49.279
there's usually I mean, we were all younger than and

405
00:20:49.400 --> 00:20:51.680
like the pressure was on you had to make it,

406
00:20:51.839 --> 00:20:54.279
you know, and by make it, that meant make money

407
00:20:54.400 --> 00:20:56.640
and get fame and you know, be able to do

408
00:20:56.799 --> 00:20:59.799
this full time and all that. And it was interesting

409
00:21:00.119 --> 00:21:04.359
put it together this band that was just like, Okay, money,

410
00:21:04.519 --> 00:21:07.480
we're not going to make any that's out the window. Fame, yeah,

411
00:21:07.519 --> 00:21:10.000
we're probably not gonna get that either. That's out the window. Now,

412
00:21:10.200 --> 00:21:12.200
are you having fun playing music? And if the answer

413
00:21:12.240 --> 00:21:14.279
to that is yes, then you're in the right place.

414
00:21:14.519 --> 00:21:17.480
Now let's just play and it's nice and then you know,

415
00:21:17.559 --> 00:21:19.480
other things can happen from that. Of course, we were

416
00:21:19.519 --> 00:21:22.000
able to, you know, we just kept playing. So we

417
00:21:22.079 --> 00:21:24.359
had some great shows and you know, made this record

418
00:21:24.400 --> 00:21:26.319
and I'm talking to you and that's that's really cool,

419
00:21:26.359 --> 00:21:29.039
and make a music video. Part of that's going to

420
00:21:29.119 --> 00:21:31.559
be with a movie. I mean, that's all great stuff

421
00:21:31.599 --> 00:21:33.920
that happens because I guess I guess we're kind of

422
00:21:34.000 --> 00:21:36.079
just in it in the right place. You know, we're

423
00:21:36.200 --> 00:21:37.200
just having fun, you know.

424
00:21:38.119 --> 00:21:42.000
Yeah, and even like okay, so you have Alex in

425
00:21:42.799 --> 00:21:45.960
you know, the song that's in the movie and in

426
00:21:46.079 --> 00:21:51.440
the movie trailer, and and he creates an alter ego

427
00:21:51.640 --> 00:21:55.759
in yes. So that's a proof of having fun. You know.

428
00:21:56.519 --> 00:21:57.960
That's the amazing thing about him.

429
00:21:58.000 --> 00:22:01.319
I mean, he is you know, he's he's immensely talented,

430
00:22:01.359 --> 00:22:03.359
and of course, besides his heavy metal work, he has

431
00:22:03.440 --> 00:22:07.079
his his jazz band stuff, so I mean his talent

432
00:22:07.200 --> 00:22:08.839
is beyond but he's still got a sense of humor

433
00:22:09.359 --> 00:22:12.000
enough that he could horse around in a video like

434
00:22:12.119 --> 00:22:15.160
ours and He plays keyboards on that particular song, Traction

435
00:22:15.279 --> 00:22:19.799
Park Massacre, which is appropriate because Alex is also doing

436
00:22:19.880 --> 00:22:24.440
the score to the movie. So it's and I think

437
00:22:24.519 --> 00:22:27.359
he's going to, you know, again, amaze all of us

438
00:22:27.440 --> 00:22:31.759
with his talent, but in another direction, because he already did.

439
00:22:31.839 --> 00:22:35.599
We put out a teaser for the movie some months ago,

440
00:22:36.200 --> 00:22:39.759
and Alex did the score, and if it's reminiscent of anything,

441
00:22:39.799 --> 00:22:42.119
I would say it's it sounds kind of like John

442
00:22:42.200 --> 00:22:45.240
Carpenter's scores that he did for his movies back in

443
00:22:45.319 --> 00:22:49.000
the eighties, which, of course Stranger Things did a did

444
00:22:49.039 --> 00:22:52.119
a pretty incredible job of imitating and taking it to

445
00:22:52.200 --> 00:22:55.400
another level and what they were doing, and you know,

446
00:22:55.960 --> 00:22:59.680
me and my co director Douglas just kind of said,

447
00:23:00.200 --> 00:23:02.359
we wanted to have that eighties feel. Can you do

448
00:23:02.559 --> 00:23:05.000
something like this and you know, true to form Alex

449
00:23:05.079 --> 00:23:07.839
Alex was able to do that. So yeah, we're happy

450
00:23:07.880 --> 00:23:10.319
to you know, be working with him, and it's always

451
00:23:10.359 --> 00:23:14.000
great fun to to have him in our music video.

452
00:23:14.039 --> 00:23:15.839
He starts it off like one of those horror hosts,

453
00:23:15.880 --> 00:23:17.839
you know, those high guys that host like a horror movie,

454
00:23:18.279 --> 00:23:21.839
and Alex plays an alter ego Count Von skoletour, so

455
00:23:22.359 --> 00:23:26.079
he's uh, he kicks off the music video in that way.

456
00:23:26.599 --> 00:23:29.319
So it's great that we can you know, horse around

457
00:23:29.400 --> 00:23:29.839
like that too.

458
00:23:31.400 --> 00:23:34.039
Absolutely, And I think it's pretty cool as far as

459
00:23:34.079 --> 00:23:39.799
you go, like crossing different industries that are similar, like

460
00:23:40.480 --> 00:23:44.119
doing your filmmaking and being involved in music at the

461
00:23:44.160 --> 00:23:46.960
same time. To me, like everybody likes to say to

462
00:23:47.160 --> 00:23:49.680
artists or whatever, oh you're living to dream life and

463
00:23:50.680 --> 00:23:53.319
some respects people are, some they're not. You don't know

464
00:23:53.400 --> 00:23:55.559
about the behind the scenes. But to me, the dream

465
00:23:55.640 --> 00:23:58.000
life is to be able to just be creative like that,

466
00:23:58.599 --> 00:24:01.599
whatever industry it is, be able to go into different

467
00:24:01.680 --> 00:24:05.000
arenas like you do and be able to create.

468
00:24:06.160 --> 00:24:06.359
Yeah.

469
00:24:06.440 --> 00:24:09.640
Absolutely, Dean, It's it's just such a gift. And we

470
00:24:10.039 --> 00:24:13.599
you know, I mean, look, I've I've I've never stopped working.

471
00:24:13.799 --> 00:24:17.000
I was I was always working towards like making films

472
00:24:17.559 --> 00:24:20.680
and at a certain point, you know, making music and

473
00:24:21.039 --> 00:24:23.720
that that was fun and you know, whatever else came

474
00:24:23.799 --> 00:24:27.519
my way, and working with different different kind of talent,

475
00:24:28.000 --> 00:24:31.160
working with comedians because I found I found music in

476
00:24:31.279 --> 00:24:34.799
that also, you know, the rhythm of the jokes is

477
00:24:35.079 --> 00:24:40.880
basically music, and I just I just felt and everything.

478
00:24:41.279 --> 00:24:45.839
So it's kind of nice. This wasn't planned so much.

479
00:24:45.880 --> 00:24:48.519
It just planned like, let's go a horror movie, and

480
00:24:49.200 --> 00:24:51.519
and it came out quite well. And then I was like, well,

481
00:24:51.799 --> 00:24:54.119
I would really love to have like music to this

482
00:24:54.200 --> 00:24:56.000
horror movie, and I'd love to have a Ramones type

483
00:24:56.079 --> 00:24:58.279
song because that's what it felt like it wanted to have,

484
00:24:58.400 --> 00:25:00.720
that's the vibe of it. And so I just said,

485
00:25:00.799 --> 00:25:04.039
let's let's just create something, you know, a complete homage

486
00:25:04.039 --> 00:25:08.160
to the to the Ramones, but make it have like

487
00:25:08.279 --> 00:25:10.720
a feel that's that's like and fits with our movie.

488
00:25:10.799 --> 00:25:12.400
So we did.

489
00:25:12.839 --> 00:25:17.240
Alex contributed keyboards, and then we were like, okay, let's

490
00:25:17.240 --> 00:25:19.400
shoot a music video, and you know, Alex was good

491
00:25:19.480 --> 00:25:21.880
enough to be in it, and and let's just keep going,

492
00:25:22.119 --> 00:25:22.680
you know what I mean.

493
00:25:22.759 --> 00:25:25.440
It's like, let's let's and and it just so happens.

494
00:25:25.440 --> 00:25:26.480
All this stuff's coming together.

495
00:25:26.559 --> 00:25:28.559
This was not planned, but it is coming together with

496
00:25:28.680 --> 00:25:32.319
the release of the UH the record and the music

497
00:25:32.400 --> 00:25:36.680
video and of course this great UH trailer you know

498
00:25:37.039 --> 00:25:39.039
preview that we're gonna do with this panel tomorrow at

499
00:25:39.079 --> 00:25:41.799
New York Comic Con. So it's sort of a nice

500
00:25:42.240 --> 00:25:44.920
you know, hey, you know your art in many different

501
00:25:44.960 --> 00:25:47.160
forms coming together, and I.

502
00:25:47.279 --> 00:25:51.279
Think that's the way. It's really cool. Like Evan, I

503
00:25:51.440 --> 00:25:54.960
was watching the show recently, Lady Gaga was on and

504
00:25:55.119 --> 00:25:58.400
she was talking about being Harley Quinn and she talked

505
00:25:58.400 --> 00:26:01.279
about she made an album. She said, it's not the

506
00:26:01.400 --> 00:26:04.839
soundtrack to the album, but it's something to go a

507
00:26:05.000 --> 00:26:08.359
soundtrack to the movie. It's something to go with the movie.

508
00:26:08.559 --> 00:26:11.599
It's like it just all goes hand in hand, and

509
00:26:11.720 --> 00:26:14.200
I think what you're doing is kind of a similar scenario.

510
00:26:14.319 --> 00:26:15.480
That's what it reminded me of.

511
00:26:16.480 --> 00:26:18.799
Yeah, exactly, and that's you know it.

512
00:26:20.720 --> 00:26:26.359
It planned out like mapped out on a table, like Okay, we'll,

513
00:26:26.759 --> 00:26:29.119
you know, have these things coming out all at the

514
00:26:29.160 --> 00:26:32.039
same time. It was just sort of like making the

515
00:26:32.160 --> 00:26:35.960
movie inspired to I knew what the end wanted to be,

516
00:26:36.119 --> 00:26:38.599
so I was like, let me make the song that

517
00:26:38.720 --> 00:26:41.119
I feel like I'm hearing that I want where you

518
00:26:41.200 --> 00:26:43.799
know the lyrics are, it would be different. I'm just

519
00:26:43.920 --> 00:26:45.640
licensing a Ramone song. I mean, not that we have

520
00:26:45.680 --> 00:26:47.960
the money to do it, but what I'm saying is like,

521
00:26:48.039 --> 00:26:50.559
if you just license the Ramones, it'd be great because

522
00:26:50.559 --> 00:26:53.079
it's them, but it would have no reference point to

523
00:26:53.599 --> 00:26:56.640
the movie. It's not like what they did for pet Cemetery,

524
00:26:56.680 --> 00:26:58.039
which is what I'm thinking in my head, you know,

525
00:26:58.519 --> 00:27:01.200
And yeah, I wanted it to be like referential to

526
00:27:01.279 --> 00:27:02.559
the movie. So I was like, all right, let's just

527
00:27:02.640 --> 00:27:04.119
go create that. You know, we have a band, we

528
00:27:04.200 --> 00:27:06.759
can do that. And so it's kind of it's it's

529
00:27:06.839 --> 00:27:08.960
fun in that way, you know, we just we just

530
00:27:09.039 --> 00:27:12.640
it all kind of came together in some crazy That's the.

531
00:27:12.680 --> 00:27:15.640
Way it should happen. That's true art right there. You know,

532
00:27:16.119 --> 00:27:18.240
art isn't lanned out, you know.

533
00:27:18.359 --> 00:27:24.319
It just happens. Agree, That's cool. Yeah, So so tell.

534
00:27:26.400 --> 00:27:29.400
Tell everybody how they can reach out to you to

535
00:27:29.519 --> 00:27:32.559
check out the new album, check out the movie when

536
00:27:32.640 --> 00:27:35.240
it comes to trailer, all the things you got going on.

537
00:27:36.599 --> 00:27:41.200
So the album is out today and it's on all

538
00:27:41.279 --> 00:27:44.680
the streaming platforms of you know, Apple and Spotify and

539
00:27:45.119 --> 00:27:48.799
the many others that are out there, and the other

540
00:27:48.960 --> 00:27:51.920
one the the you know, we have our our our

541
00:27:52.319 --> 00:27:54.960
Instagram and all that. When the music video comes out,

542
00:27:55.039 --> 00:27:58.559
it'll also find its way, you know, certainly to the

543
00:27:58.920 --> 00:28:01.400
Instagram account or you know, dots Moose band.

544
00:28:02.119 --> 00:28:05.359
And then the movie, the movie's.

545
00:28:04.960 --> 00:28:10.599
Got its own whole life, which is it's it's Traction

546

Park Massacre, and it is it's got all the social

547
00:28:15.680 --> 00:28:20.079
media handles that that go along with that. The the

548
00:28:20.200 --> 00:28:23.279
trailer will be out tomorrow night. We do this panel

549
00:28:23.279 --> 00:28:28.559

seventeenth is our panel. It is hosted by Fangoria magazine

551
00:28:32.480 --> 00:28:36.160
and Fangoria is going to have the the trailer exclusively

552
00:28:36.319 --> 00:28:38.720
for the weekend on their site and then it'll go

553
00:28:39.240 --> 00:28:42.359
go wide next week. So if you just if anybody

554
00:28:42.480 --> 00:28:46.680
googles Traction Park Massacre, they'll they'll they'll first find the teaser,

555
00:28:46.720 --> 00:28:48.799
which has been out for some months, and then they'll

556
00:28:48.839 --> 00:28:53.039
find the movie. And uh, the actual film is going

557
00:28:53.119 --> 00:28:55.319
to come out next year because we still got a

558
00:28:55.400 --> 00:28:57.160
bunch of work to do on the special effects and

559
00:28:57.480 --> 00:29:00.799
stuff like that. But it's a really fun ride. If

560
00:29:00.839 --> 00:29:04.240
I if I just give a quick little description of it,

561
00:29:04.640 --> 00:29:08.640
it's a group of friends, just the way slasher movies go.

562
00:29:08.920 --> 00:29:11.119
They kind of go up to the woods and they're

563
00:29:11.160 --> 00:29:13.279
just gonna hang out along the way. They run a

564
00:29:13.319 --> 00:29:18.359
foul of a group of outlaw bikers and all of

565
00:29:18.440 --> 00:29:22.599
them wind up on the grounds of it. It's like

566
00:29:23.039 --> 00:29:25.680
an old amusement park that burned down many years ago

567
00:29:26.200 --> 00:29:28.920
and the twin sons of the owners were thought killed,

568
00:29:29.559 --> 00:29:30.720
but they weren't.

569
00:29:30.799 --> 00:29:31.079
Of course.

570
00:29:31.119 --> 00:29:32.839
They're now like twenty five year old, and they're like

571
00:29:33.000 --> 00:29:36.440
feral twins and they like basically hunt anybody who comes

572
00:29:36.480 --> 00:29:39.440
onto the land, and so sometimes YouTube people go up there,

573
00:29:39.559 --> 00:29:42.480
like make videos and stuff, and that's it for them,

574
00:29:42.559 --> 00:29:45.519
and they're sort of and it's a lot of fun,

575
00:29:45.640 --> 00:29:48.240
so we use like pieces of the park still are

576
00:29:48.359 --> 00:29:51.519
in it, and parts of the Legend of Action parkers

577
00:29:51.559 --> 00:29:53.680
in it. But it's it's a really fun ride and

578
00:29:53.720 --> 00:29:56.240
it's hard to be sure, but there's a lot of

579
00:29:56.319 --> 00:29:59.519
comedy in there. And I think anybody's a fan of

580
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:02.160
some of the old school slasher films and Evil Dead

581
00:30:02.240 --> 00:30:06.079
two and Killer Clowns from Outer Space and a lot

582
00:30:06.119 --> 00:30:08.839
of a lot of fun slasher movies. I think I

583
00:30:08.920 --> 00:30:13.720
think you get a kick out the movies. We're working

584
00:30:13.799 --> 00:30:15.720
hard to finish it and you know it'll be out

585
00:30:15.799 --> 00:30:19.000
for next year. So that's that's the movie.

586
00:30:19.920 --> 00:30:20.359
I love it.

587
00:30:21.119 --> 00:30:22.799
Is there any last words you want to leave the

588
00:30:23.160 --> 00:30:24.839
listeners with that we haven't covered.

589
00:30:27.200 --> 00:30:29.559
No, I think that's that's that's pretty great. It was

590
00:30:29.599 --> 00:30:32.519
good talking to you, and I appreciate the time. It

591
00:30:32.640 --> 00:30:36.440
was nice to uh to do that, unless you want

592
00:30:36.440 --> 00:30:39.079
to say hello for one second. So my co director

593
00:30:39.240 --> 00:30:41.279
in all this and my co writer, when I told

594
00:30:41.319 --> 00:30:44.680
you that we were making films for forty years, it's

595
00:30:44.720 --> 00:30:45.559
forty plus years.

596
00:30:45.640 --> 00:30:46.640
This is Douglas Demanda.

597
00:30:46.680 --> 00:30:50.599
He is my best friend, co director, writer, and we

598
00:30:51.000 --> 00:30:53.480
basically cooked this up together. We just said, like, you know,

599
00:30:53.559 --> 00:30:55.440
we're getting to be a certain age, let's do the

600
00:30:55.519 --> 00:30:57.839
thing we always wanted to do. So this is kind

601
00:30:57.880 --> 00:31:00.039
of about following your dreams a little bit. And and

602
00:31:01.160 --> 00:31:04.160
we said, what's the most accessible kind of story, and

603
00:31:04.240 --> 00:31:06.599
it's it's basically a horror movie. Everybody loves a good

604
00:31:06.599 --> 00:31:09.000
horror movie and it doesn't need stars.

605
00:31:09.519 --> 00:31:12.880
So we were just like bodies, just bodies.

606
00:31:12.960 --> 00:31:16.720
Very well put and so we have a nice high

607
00:31:16.799 --> 00:31:19.599
kill count for anybody who's who's uh uh you know,

608
00:31:20.000 --> 00:31:24.200
keeping track of score of those song yeah, boy.

609
00:31:25.240 --> 00:31:26.960
So it's it's actually a lot of fun.

610
00:31:27.079 --> 00:31:31.480
So I just think, you know, Doug and I went

611
00:31:31.519 --> 00:31:33.400
to the movies for so many years, and I think

612
00:31:33.880 --> 00:31:36.720
I think, like Udine, we like crowd pleaser movies. It's

613
00:31:36.839 --> 00:31:39.359
just like kind of music. It's the same things, I'm

614
00:31:39.440 --> 00:31:41.599
sure and known by the bands that you like. I'll

615
00:31:41.599 --> 00:31:43.559
bet we like a lot of the same movies in common.

616
00:31:44.000 --> 00:31:46.160
And you probably like going to a movie theater where

617
00:31:46.160 --> 00:31:49.000
the audience is into the movie and they're they're cheering

618
00:31:49.079 --> 00:31:51.599
for it and they're rooting for it. And that's kind

619
00:31:51.640 --> 00:31:56.079
of the the the idea that we set out for

620
00:31:56.480 --> 00:31:58.880
to make a film that the audience is going to

621
00:31:58.920 --> 00:32:01.960
want to like, get with and love it. Doug and

622
00:32:02.039 --> 00:32:04.240
I saw many of these films, you know, in their

623
00:32:04.319 --> 00:32:07.720
original screenings and and we just were like, man, let's

624
00:32:07.759 --> 00:32:09.920
make a movie that that the audience is at.

625
00:32:10.119 --> 00:32:11.400
Yeah, I have a good time.

626
00:32:11.519 --> 00:32:15.680
Saturday Friday nighty night, man, have a beer, smoke it off,

627
00:32:16.079 --> 00:32:18.160
go to the movie, enjoy.

628
00:32:19.079 --> 00:32:19.440
There you go.

629
00:32:19.680 --> 00:32:22.200
That's the way it should be. Music and movie should

630
00:32:22.319 --> 00:32:26.000
both be fun and that for everybody. So I love that,

631
00:32:26.759 --> 00:32:29.920
and uh, thanks for giving us some great entertainment. I

632
00:32:29.960 --> 00:32:34.039
can't wait for the movie. And definitely the album is badass,

633
00:32:34.160 --> 00:32:37.480
So everybody's got to check the album out now today.

634
00:32:38.160 --> 00:32:42.240
And uh, you know, thanks a lot for giving us

635
00:32:42.319 --> 00:32:45.079
