00:00:04.480 --> 00:00:20.640
Hey, you have done to censure
w for Why pray you young? Whycoume

2
00:00:20.760 --> 00:00:24.839
America. It's time for the Adventures
of pipe Man on W four c y

3
00:00:24.920 --> 00:00:29.519
dot com. Wispoon beats his number
one internet radio station. Here's your host,

4
00:00:29.600 --> 00:00:56.280
the White Man. This is the
pipe Man here on the Adventures pipe

5
00:00:56.320 --> 00:01:00.960
Man W four c Y Radio.
And I'm here. We do it nice

6
00:01:02.159 --> 00:01:07.040
here at Punk Rock Bowling and I
can tell you what. I'm having a

7
00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:12.000
hard time standing here. How'd you
guys perform up there in this heat?

8
00:01:12.959 --> 00:01:19.760
It? Honestly, it was awful. I believe that gasping for air.

9
00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:23.959
Right. There's a good amount of
shade though, so that made it a

10
00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:27.359
little easier for us, but there
should be. When we played it,

11
00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:30.480
we were shaded on the stage,
which a lot of the bands like,

12
00:01:30.519 --> 00:01:34.000
aren't right, So you got lucky, Yeah, we got really lucky with

13
00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:38.840
that. But it's still hot even
in the shade, you know, right

14
00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:42.359
now, How did how did you
feel, lily us? I know that's

15
00:01:42.359 --> 00:01:47.519
the worst, right, it's like
drenched in sweat afterwards, but that's typical.

16
00:01:47.560 --> 00:01:49.159
But like, it was very,
very hot, and my throat was

17
00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:53.920
like very dry. Yeah, because
it's a dry heat. So it's like

18
00:01:53.120 --> 00:01:57.000
it's tough, you know. And
I think I bring that up because I

19
00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:01.920
think audiences don't realize how hard it
is for you to go full out up

20
00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:07.400
there, and you guys do go
full out, Like I feel like after

21
00:02:07.519 --> 00:02:12.560
the set, you probably died.
Yeah, I think we all crashed for

22
00:02:12.560 --> 00:02:15.960
a second. I was really tired. Yeah, I's tired. Yes,

23
00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:20.120
we had to go in like the
green room because there was like air conditioning.

24
00:02:20.159 --> 00:02:22.719
It was so nice, and me
and Ella were just like chilling in

25
00:02:22.759 --> 00:02:25.479
there for about an hour and I
was so exhausted though, But it was

26
00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:30.919
worth it to play punk rock bowling
obviously. Yeah right. I mean that's

27
00:02:30.039 --> 00:02:36.840
like I think this is kind of
a mecca of festivals. Like I do

28
00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:43.479
festivals everywhere, but this one's like
really cool because you got the bowling,

29
00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:47.879
you got all the club shows,
takes over all of downtown Vegas. It's

30
00:02:47.919 --> 00:02:53.439
not just a music festival. I
think for anybody that is in our genre,

31
00:02:53.479 --> 00:02:57.960
at least two, there's nothing better
than punk rock puling. Yeah.

32
00:02:58.159 --> 00:03:01.680
I mean, even if you take
allan over in the UK, I think

33
00:03:01.759 --> 00:03:06.360
this is better. Yeah. We
got all the activities and stuff, as

34
00:03:06.360 --> 00:03:08.199
you mentioned, no doubt, and
you can hide out into one of the

35
00:03:08.199 --> 00:03:13.879
hotels in the air conditioning if you
have to, or like. One thing

36
00:03:13.919 --> 00:03:17.120
I love here is like I interviewed
both the sub Humans and Devot in the

37
00:03:17.159 --> 00:03:23.479
hotel instead of out here, like
in the air conditioning, nice, away

38
00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:25.159
from everything, and then come back
out here and have a good time.

39
00:03:25.879 --> 00:03:31.639
So who did you want to see
most of all at punk rock Balling?

40
00:03:31.960 --> 00:03:35.240
I think we might all have a
different answer for this, so I'm gonna

41
00:03:35.240 --> 00:03:39.199
pass the mic around. I like
that honestly, Descendants because I've never seen

42
00:03:39.240 --> 00:03:43.960
them before and it was my first
time and they fucking killed it. Right,

43
00:03:45.479 --> 00:03:47.879
you can say, whatever the fuck
do you want. Some people are

44
00:03:47.879 --> 00:03:54.599
like for likes. I really love
Viole and I love Gratmobile. I've been

45
00:03:54.599 --> 00:04:02.120
playing right now nice, so they're
the background music for your yeah yeah,

46
00:04:02.159 --> 00:04:05.199
And I have to I have to. I have to really give it out

47
00:04:05.240 --> 00:04:11.919
to Vile because I saw them today
at the swim and then they came the

48
00:04:11.919 --> 00:04:16.079
pool party and then they came over
here and played like not that long after,

49
00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:19.879
yeah, not that long after,
like an hour later, Like I

50
00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:25.879
left probably the same time they did
to come over here and they were playing,

51
00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:31.319
and both are like hot like two
sets hot as hell, so my

52
00:04:31.480 --> 00:04:36.639
hat was super off to them.
Who's yours? Okay, Honestly, I'm

53
00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:40.879
not too sure. I love the
Descendants, I've seen him before, so

54
00:04:40.920 --> 00:04:45.439
I wasn't like, I love Devo, also seen him before, so it's

55
00:04:45.519 --> 00:04:46.879
kind of like, I don't know. I'm just stoked to be here and

56
00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:50.480
see all the bands and really just
like hang out with everybody. It's cool

57
00:04:50.519 --> 00:04:55.680
being backstage and seeing all your favorite
artists and that that's the key too,

58
00:04:55.920 --> 00:04:59.360
Like, I'm glad you brought that
up, because festivals are not just about

59
00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:03.800
a band. It's about us all
uniting together. It's about finding new music,

60
00:05:04.279 --> 00:05:08.600
It's about the whole thing. Like
I hate when people are like when

61
00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:12.800
a band that they wanted to go
see had to cancel for some reason,

62
00:05:13.279 --> 00:05:15.720
that's the only reason I was going
to the festival. Then, don't go

63
00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:19.720
to a festival in their concert.
You know. It's for new experiences,

64
00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:25.399
having fun, making friends and just
hanging out. That's my opinion. How

65
00:05:25.399 --> 00:05:29.600
about yours? All right? I
wanted to see Devo because they're like really

66
00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:31.879
interesting. They have an interesting sound, and I was curious to see what

67
00:05:31.920 --> 00:05:35.720
they would like present themselves as on
stage. And they definitely delivered. They

68
00:05:35.759 --> 00:05:42.600
were they still do a show like
ye. You would think at this stage

69
00:05:42.600 --> 00:05:46.040
in their career they could slide on
by, but they don't. They put

70
00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:51.120
it all out there. And here's
the funny thing. When I was a

71
00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:57.240
teenager, we weren't allowed to like
Devo because if you were like a metal

72
00:05:57.319 --> 00:06:01.360
head or a hardcore punk you could
like Divo. But now as you can

73
00:06:01.480 --> 00:06:05.279
see here, yeah, I hated
that shit. You know, it was

74
00:06:05.439 --> 00:06:11.560
stupid as hell, Like there are
so many bands I couldn't see because you're

75
00:06:11.600 --> 00:06:15.000
not supposed to like that band,
you know. But what we saw here

76
00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:20.600
with Divo is at punk rock bowling
is now now with I guess your generation

77
00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:26.600
and other generations below mine. We
did it the right way and made it

78
00:06:26.680 --> 00:06:32.160
that everybody's included. And every old
school person like me that I saw was

79
00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:36.480
singing every song and out there in
the middle of it. And they were

80
00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:42.120
all the same ones that I know
were like, oh Divo, they're blah

81
00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:45.560
blah blah back in the day.
So that's what's cool about today, is

82
00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:49.040
like you can like whoever you want. And I liked what you said about

83
00:06:49.279 --> 00:06:54.759
each one of you might have a
different answer because that's what makes your band

84
00:06:54.920 --> 00:07:00.560
unique by having different influences. Sure, you know, man, I was

85
00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:04.800
a teenager, like everybody in the
band had to like the same exact music

86
00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:10.000
like and I mean the same exact
band, you know, And honestly,

87
00:07:10.199 --> 00:07:13.480
like, I think that's what makes
our sound like kind of range. Like

88
00:07:13.560 --> 00:07:15.319
I would never know what to classify
us as. I wouldn't say we're just

89
00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:18.959
punk rock. I wouldn't say we're
anything in particular, because we all have

90
00:07:19.000 --> 00:07:23.480
different influences and I think we bring
it to the table and that's what I

91
00:07:23.519 --> 00:07:28.360
love and that's I think that's what's
created the ability to have so many people

92
00:07:28.439 --> 00:07:31.199
here for a punk rock festival,
because you wouldn't have that way back.

93
00:07:31.399 --> 00:07:36.480
Yeah, So you guys have made
it to where not only is the music

94
00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:44.079
unique, but because there's so many
bands nowadays, you have to stand out.

95
00:07:44.439 --> 00:07:47.560
You know, it was maybe easier
way back when there was only a

96
00:07:47.560 --> 00:07:54.240
few bands and everybody stood out.
The way you stand out is being yourself,

97
00:07:54.519 --> 00:07:58.600
and you guys definitely did that up
on stage. Thank you. So

98
00:07:58.639 --> 00:08:03.480
tell me how this all happened.
How do you guys happen? Well,

99
00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:09.519
originally the band was me and Ella
and two of our friends and we just

100
00:08:09.639 --> 00:08:13.240
kind of started it in high school. She's kind of messing around. We

101
00:08:13.279 --> 00:08:16.160
had the same guitar teacher, so
he kind of just put us in touch

102
00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:22.120
and helped us out finding our other
friends, and then eventually we just kind

103
00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:26.319
of like became our own thing.
We actually found London on Craigslist. We

104
00:08:26.360 --> 00:08:33.039
put up a Craigslist ad. Wow, I like that. And then we

105
00:08:33.039 --> 00:08:37.279
were playing with a different band that
Lily was playing in. We played a

106
00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:39.000
few shows with them and we're like, hey, dude, like you rip

107
00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:46.639
come join us. Nice we took
her. That's how it happens, dude.

108
00:08:46.679 --> 00:08:50.840
That's how the legends happened. Like, for example, you take a

109
00:08:50.879 --> 00:08:58.679
band like Metallica, why was that
their first show ever? And basically the

110
00:08:58.720 --> 00:09:03.519
band they kept playing with up in
the Bay Area had this guitarist and that's

111
00:09:03.559 --> 00:09:09.399
the guitarist of Mataua. Now like
they hung out their friends. I was

112
00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:13.240
like, dude, well you come
play with the band. And that's how

113
00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:18.000
it happened with you guys, right
ye see, And so that I think

114
00:09:18.039 --> 00:09:20.559
that always creates the legends. If
you look at all the great legends and

115
00:09:20.720 --> 00:09:24.879
history, that's kind of how it
happened. Same with the Beatles. Go

116
00:09:24.960 --> 00:09:28.320
back to the Beatles. Ringo Starr
wasn't originally in the Beatles. He was

117
00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:33.840
just hanging around in the scene and
other bands and they got friendly with him

118
00:09:33.879 --> 00:09:37.639
and like, hey, come play
with us. So there it is.

119
00:09:37.320 --> 00:09:41.759
So you did the right move.
What are you gonna do? The top

120
00:09:41.759 --> 00:09:48.000
punk rock bowling? Now, what's
coming after this? We have a show

121
00:09:48.159 --> 00:09:54.559
lined up and so we have a
show in San Diego area and the city

122
00:09:54.559 --> 00:10:00.360
of Ocean Side. It's gonna be
at this place called Poorhouse. Yeah else

123
00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:01.960
Yeah, we play a lot of
local shows. We like to keep it

124
00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:09.000
tight for very cool and what about
music? Tell us about the newest music?

125
00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:16.080
Well, yeah, I got it
all right. So we are just

126
00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:20.960
getting ready to release a vinyl and
eleven track vinyl. Right now, it's

127
00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:24.919
available for pre order, so you
can pre order that at last Tara Records

128
00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:28.200
dot com. Soon we're gonna have
some copies of our own to sell it

129
00:10:28.279 --> 00:10:35.200
shows nice and soon enough, in
a few months, we're also gonna release

130
00:10:35.240 --> 00:10:37.080
it to streaming platforms. But as
of now, we wanted to make it

131
00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:41.759
a vinyl exclusive thing. I love
that there's two exclusives on it that you

132
00:10:41.799 --> 00:10:46.639
can only get with the vinyl,
So we're kind of encouraging everybody to go

133
00:10:46.799 --> 00:10:50.480
buy our vinyl. So let me
ask you, a young man like you

134
00:10:50.840 --> 00:10:54.120
now in twenty twenty four, what
makes you so hot on doing the vinyl

135
00:10:54.240 --> 00:11:00.960
like that? Personally? I love
collecting vinyl, Like I I own quite

136
00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:03.159
a few vinyl and like I still
go to the record store at least like

137
00:11:05.320 --> 00:11:07.159
once every two weeks or so.
Nice, and it's just like a good

138
00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:11.039
collector's item, Like I don't know, it was just it was fun to

139
00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:16.799
choose the colors too, Like yeah, yeah, it's tangible, it's something

140
00:11:16.799 --> 00:11:20.600
you can keep. It's a collectors
and there's only gonna be like two hundred

141
00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:24.080
copies of this so far, so
go pre order it while you can.

142
00:11:24.679 --> 00:11:28.159
Again, old school, that's how
it used to be. They just would

143
00:11:28.200 --> 00:11:33.360
release a few, they're gone,
and then it became something like, oh

144
00:11:33.559 --> 00:11:37.360
now we gotta make more and that's
what my album's big. And you didn't

145
00:11:37.399 --> 00:11:41.039
listen to the music at a time. You had to buy the vinyl exactly

146
00:11:41.159 --> 00:11:43.759
you see if you like, And
it was a whole experience, you know,

147
00:11:43.919 --> 00:11:50.279
And I think people missed that a
lot nowadays, that whole artistic experience

148
00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:54.480
it's not just the music, it's
the artwork. It's the like you said,

149
00:11:54.519 --> 00:12:01.080
the tangible feeling it listening to those
scratches. I think that makes a

150
00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:05.679
difference. Or I got to design
like the whole like inside of the record

151
00:12:05.679 --> 00:12:11.759
and a nice like the and everything. Yep, it's a lot of work

152
00:12:11.799 --> 00:12:16.759
making like the inner sleeve and stuff
with all the lyrics. Yes, okays

153
00:12:16.759 --> 00:12:20.720
a while to figure that out.
Also for us, she designs all our

154
00:12:20.720 --> 00:12:26.519
merch our guitarists amazing, Well you
you rock because I like your merch and

155
00:12:26.559 --> 00:12:31.679
everybody else by your merch or they
can't listen to my show. So what

156
00:12:31.759 --> 00:12:37.679
else were you gonna say too about
the vinyl? Something about the vinyl?

157
00:12:37.759 --> 00:12:41.240
Right, yeah, well it's just
you get to sit there. I know

158
00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:45.320
me, I used to like sit
on my balcony, listen to every song,

159
00:12:45.480 --> 00:12:50.840
read the lyrics, look at all
the images there. It is a

160
00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:54.840
solid fan coming by. Yeah.
And also we recorded I remember now,

161
00:12:56.039 --> 00:12:58.960
we recorded the album in a way
where it's supposed to be listened to front

162
00:13:00.159 --> 00:13:03.960
to back. Nice. I mean, it's the songs they went into each

163
00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:07.679
other like for example, like if
you listen to the Dark Side of the

164
00:13:07.720 --> 00:13:09.879
Moon, they kind of just blend
with me so funny or say that,

165
00:13:11.240 --> 00:13:13.159
because that's why I was gonna bring
up, like the music's not like that,

166
00:13:13.200 --> 00:13:18.000
but like the idea. No,
but you can't listen one song on

167
00:13:18.120 --> 00:13:22.000
Dark Side of the Moon, and
if you don't know dark Side, you

168
00:13:22.039 --> 00:13:26.240
don't even know that it's in another
song. When it's in the other song,

169
00:13:26.559 --> 00:13:31.159
it's just like one big song.
It's a whole artistic expression. So

170
00:13:31.840 --> 00:13:35.279
you gotta get the vinyl to really
feel the whole thing out. I love

171
00:13:35.320 --> 00:13:39.399
it. And what other type of
things do you want to listeners to know

172
00:13:39.480 --> 00:13:43.720
that we haven't talked about array that
they should check out for you guys,

173
00:13:43.720 --> 00:13:50.200
anything, Stay tuned for our actual
like digital vinyl release like on streaming platforms

174
00:13:50.200 --> 00:13:54.000
such as Spotify, Apple Music,
YouTube and everything, which we're hoping to

175
00:13:54.080 --> 00:13:58.360
release it by August, where we
hope so nice, so like people can

176
00:13:58.399 --> 00:14:01.519
listen to it for free instead of
actually like having to purchase the vinyl.

177
00:14:01.559 --> 00:14:05.279
You know, but you got to
purchase the vinyl. You still should.

178
00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:09.799

Riot band camp. You can order
all of our merch that way if you

182
00:14:22.399 --> 00:14:26.600
can't see us live. So yeah, And do you have any like crazy,

183
00:14:26.840 --> 00:14:31.600
good or bad stories so far in
this musical journey that stick out in

184
00:14:31.639 --> 00:14:41.360
your mind. It seems like you
had something. It's today one of those.

185
00:14:45.200 --> 00:14:48.639
Yeah, that might be the one
we had. We had some issues

186
00:14:48.960 --> 00:14:52.960
with one of the headlining bands.
We cut three songs out of our set,

187
00:14:54.879 --> 00:14:56.240
just like a late appearance. No
hate to them. It happens.

188
00:14:56.840 --> 00:15:01.080
Wow. So and I think we
accidentally talked some ship right in front of

189
00:15:01.120 --> 00:15:05.600
them. Oh boy, So we
got ourselves in a little bit of trouble.

190
00:15:05.600 --> 00:15:09.600
You know what. You wouldn't be
punk rock if that didn't happen.

191
00:15:11.279 --> 00:15:13.600
Yeah. I think we've shown up
to shows way too late too. It

192
00:15:13.639 --> 00:15:18.440
happens. Yeah. And you know
what, when it's just hot and you're

193
00:15:18.480 --> 00:15:26.320
playing, you're gonna get a little
more frustrated than normal. So if those

194
00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:33.159
bands listen, just realize it was
the heat, not you. If I

195
00:15:33.200 --> 00:15:35.639
had to get here like at nude
and then I had to play at like

196
00:15:35.919 --> 00:15:41.639
ten, I would just like I
would be late too, right to exactly.

197
00:15:43.840 --> 00:15:46.559
The heat brings the animals out in
us, no doubt. Living in

198
00:15:46.600 --> 00:15:50.360
San Diego, it's like the heat
is completely different, like it's more like

199
00:15:50.480 --> 00:15:54.519
a little more human. But it's
just it's a lot cooler there. So

200
00:15:54.679 --> 00:15:58.200
coming here, my nose is so
dry, and like my mouth, everything

201
00:15:58.279 --> 00:16:03.759
is so dry. It's horrible.
Funny story. The first night we were

202
00:16:03.799 --> 00:16:07.879
here, Tamra over here, who's
handling the camera, She's like, oh,

203
00:16:07.919 --> 00:16:11.600
I forgot to bring a hoodie.
I better go get a hoodie.

204
00:16:11.600 --> 00:16:15.320
And I'm like, wait till tomorrow. You'll see you don't need one.

205
00:16:15.440 --> 00:16:17.799
And of course we had to play
on the hottest day too. I know

206
00:16:18.039 --> 00:16:22.360
it. Today is the hottest,
So kudos to you because you guys killed

207
00:16:22.360 --> 00:16:25.679
it. Thank you, and you
didn't even look like you were hot up

208
00:16:25.679 --> 00:16:29.200
there. You put it all out
on the stage, which is what throws

209
00:16:29.320 --> 00:16:33.919
do right exactly, you know,
because you put it all out there instead

210
00:16:33.919 --> 00:16:38.279
of like I can't move, which
some mans might do, you know,

211
00:16:38.879 --> 00:16:42.759
but you laid it all out as
if the weather was perfect and everything was

212
00:16:42.799 --> 00:16:47.600
perfect. So that made your set
perfect. And thanks for being here at
