00:01:08.439 --> 00:01:15.760
I'm here with Elia's from the band
Non Point Baby Nice. Yes, I

9
00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:21.599
was just talking about you know,
last night I was at the Motley Cruise

10
00:01:21.599 --> 00:01:25.239
set and I was telling what other
media people I was with. I was

11
00:01:25.319 --> 00:01:29.280
like, there's a line in the
song of a place I used to hang

12
00:01:29.359 --> 00:01:33.840
out all the time. That's gone. Now you tell him what it is?

13
00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:38.079
You know what I believe. It's
the Dollhouse. That's it, right

14
00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:44.280
there, that's it, sample road. I do recall the Dollhouse, right,

15
00:01:44.879 --> 00:01:47.359
yes, I do? I do. Remember. Can you imagine the

16
00:01:47.519 --> 00:01:52.920
house seeing Fort Latta Dale? Can
you imagine all the people listening at Motley

17
00:01:52.920 --> 00:01:56.799
cru song have no idea what that
means? Yeah, yeah, And and

18
00:01:57.040 --> 00:02:00.159
he talked about the sunset strip.
Yep, we had our own son set

19
00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:04.840
strips in South Florida. So did
we claimed that one too, even though

20
00:02:04.920 --> 00:02:07.159
it wasn't out. You know,
it's funny about the dollhouse. That's example,

21
00:02:07.240 --> 00:02:10.680
first time I ever came to Fort
Laurdeale, my dad was living down

22
00:02:10.719 --> 00:02:15.879
there. First place he takes me
to with Solid Gold. That's my introduction

23
00:02:16.199 --> 00:02:20.759
to Fort Lawydell, Florida. That's
funny. Solid Gold. Uh. The

24
00:02:20.960 --> 00:02:27.400
owner of Solid Gold was actually a
huge Kno Point fan, and whenever we

25
00:02:27.759 --> 00:02:32.639
played Revolution, he would always send
a car to the venue to pick up

26
00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:37.080
anybody that wanted to come back to
Solid Gold and nice party for a little

27
00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:39.280
while for we had a bus call. It was it was fun, man,

28
00:02:39.319 --> 00:02:43.960
it was good good people. I
love it. And remember like Bootleggers

29
00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:51.560
with Sunday Bikini contout the South about
what the candy store? Candy store?

30
00:02:51.879 --> 00:02:58.759
Yeah right, yeah, South Florida
was a plethora of exotica. Well that's

31
00:02:58.800 --> 00:03:02.520
a lot of a lot of do
you remember, Oh my god, do

32
00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:07.560
you remember the topless doughnut shop and
the dude car topless car wash? Yes,

33
00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:12.879
that's how you were. You beat
me to it. Oh my god,

34
00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:15.840
Fort Lawyer and you beat me to
it. No diddy, no diddy,

35
00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:19.719
you beat me, no Diddy.
Oh so you're now we're here at

36
00:03:19.719 --> 00:03:23.000
Welcome Rockville. Yes, like this
is as close to home as it gets.

37
00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:28.719
If you're this is this is like
mecca for me. My dad was

38
00:03:28.719 --> 00:03:31.800
a huge NASCAR fan. I got
all his Harley shirts when he passed.

39
00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:37.439
And he was a huge arn Art
fan and we used to watch the Daytona

40
00:03:37.520 --> 00:03:39.240
Racist all the time. He used
to go to Homestead. So, you

41
00:03:39.319 --> 00:03:43.479
know, being somewhere like this and
plan somewhere, I just I think about

42
00:03:43.520 --> 00:03:46.479
my dad watching me. Wow.
For sure, he definitely was was helping

43
00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:50.439
me through today's set. He's way
proud. Oh man, it was it

44
00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:52.919
was. I definitely felt love you, Bill, I love you. I

45
00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:57.159
miss you, no doubt, yes
real, Oh my god, he was

46
00:03:57.240 --> 00:04:00.319
definitely with you here for sure.
You could feel it. I'm sure indeed

47
00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:03.560
you know. So you were also
just that sick New world. Yes.

48
00:04:03.919 --> 00:04:10.039
Now I haven't done that festival yet. How was that festival and how was

49
00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:14.800
your experience? It was beautiful,
it was a great day. We were

50
00:04:14.919 --> 00:04:19.120
first, we're number one, number
one. We were first, and the

51
00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:23.680
crowd was outstanding for us. Everybody
funneled right to us, so it was

52
00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:28.160
it was fun. But the weather
was perfect. Wow, it was a

53
00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:32.720
breezy, like seventy eight degrees right, it was almost cold on stage,

54
00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:38.399
but the crowd was phenomenal. We
hope we get invited back. I love

55
00:04:38.439 --> 00:04:44.360
it so being a Floridian, How
do you think you're more used to playing

56
00:04:44.519 --> 00:04:47.160
and as hot in the humidity than
some of these other bands or never get

57
00:04:47.279 --> 00:04:49.399
used to it? Oh no,
I've I've been used to it since I

58
00:04:49.800 --> 00:04:54.600
used to lifeguard back in South Florida, so I grew up in That's why

59
00:04:54.720 --> 00:04:59.480
half my arm hairs are bleached for
years of being in the sun. But

60
00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:02.199
I mind the heat. I feel
like I'm built for it. So you

61
00:05:02.279 --> 00:05:05.079
know, it's funny, is I
was just in Costa Rica for three months

62
00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:08.839
and I came back to Florida.
I'm like, Wow, it's kind of

63
00:05:08.879 --> 00:05:11.920
cool in Florida. Yeah. Yeah, you get you get used to it,

64
00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:15.519
right, you know, And everybody
who's complaining esterday, I'm like,

65
00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:18.399
it's actually kind of cool for Florida. It is. It actually has cooled

66
00:05:18.480 --> 00:05:23.879
down, nice breeze and all that. Yes, so now what now?

67
00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:28.040
Now how the top Sick New World
and welcome the Rockville. What's next for

68
00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:31.480
Nominal Sonic Temple? Yeah and Louder
than Life. We have we have lots

69
00:05:31.519 --> 00:05:35.920
of really great festivals that we're going
to get a chance to play and shout

70
00:05:35.959 --> 00:05:41.879
out to the Danny Wimmer Productions people
and inviting us back out. And we've

71
00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:46.480
we've we've had nothing but a great
experience at all these festivals. The crew,

72
00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:50.240
the accommodations, everything is has just
been stellar. Spill And I love

73
00:05:50.319 --> 00:05:56.279
hearing that because I've been talking about
Danny Wimmer like the whole weekend with artists

74
00:05:56.519 --> 00:06:00.040
and every festival I do, I've
never heard in our say a bad thing

75
00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:03.920
about Danny Waasy. It's super easy. He makes it easy every time,

76
00:06:04.399 --> 00:06:09.399
and he knows what it takes to
put on a show like this and how

77
00:06:09.439 --> 00:06:13.199
to treat an artist. Yeah,
you know, like how many festivals or

78
00:06:13.279 --> 00:06:17.079
shows you show up that you know
they it becomes a ship show for you

79
00:06:17.199 --> 00:06:20.240
as the band, and then you're
stressed out going on stage. And all

80
00:06:20.279 --> 00:06:25.040
I ever hear at Danny Wimmer festival
is man, it's the most stressful,

81
00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:29.439
free experience ever it's great. The
staff is always great. A lot of

82
00:06:29.519 --> 00:06:32.600
familiar faces. So these people that
you know, are seasoned, know you,

83
00:06:32.839 --> 00:06:38.160
and it's it's it's great experience every
time Sonic Temple, that's gonna be

84
00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:43.879
killer. That's an iconic venue,
festival venue right there. How excited are

00:06:51.439 --> 00:06:56.600
we're excited to get back and louder
in life. You're gonna be you know,

88
00:06:56.959 --> 00:07:01.720
sharing the grounds with the Immortal Slayer? Is that that? Did that

89
00:07:02.120 --> 00:07:06.040
blow your mind? Absolutely? Blew
my mind? Really, my drummer,

90
00:07:06.199 --> 00:07:09.759
My drummer couldn't believe it. He
was like shaking when he saw it,

91
00:07:10.040 --> 00:07:12.560
right, He was like, this
is bucket list, this is my bucket

92
00:07:12.560 --> 00:07:15.680
list. My number one, of
course, next to none point, but

93
00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:18.959
my number one favorite band all time, Slayer. I went to their first

94
00:07:19.000 --> 00:07:25.680
show ever. That's great man.
Yeah, So here's a funny story.

on and everything, and David Draymond walks

99
00:07:48.839 --> 00:07:54.639
out. I'm like, fuck,
I'm at the wrong stage. But I

100
00:07:54.720 --> 00:07:59.120
did end up getting the carry king. But I like it was so funny

101
00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:01.199
because I'm I've never done that before. I was like, sit there,

102
00:08:01.319 --> 00:08:05.480
I did all this work to get
through the crowd, and I'm like,

103
00:08:05.279 --> 00:08:11.680
fuck. But man, that's the
one thing this Welcome to Rockville. Here's
