5
00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:07.159
mind complete. The two is the
Pipe Man here on the Adventures Pipe Man

6
00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:11.879
W four c Y Radio. And
I'm here with Raw and Robe from into

7
00:01:11.879 --> 00:01:19.879
Shikari. Nice. I think I've
almost interviewed that. Now you at every

8
00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:23.439
Danny Wimmer vessel. There's a couple
more you'll got gonna have to do,

9
00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:29.120
Okay, But and then I go
do download. I know you're gonna be

10
00:01:29.159 --> 00:01:34.280
a download too. So I've never
interviewed you in your home country, only

11
00:01:34.359 --> 00:01:38.239
here, So it's cool. And
last time we talked, we talked about

12
00:01:38.359 --> 00:01:42.480
surfing in Costa Rica, and I
just got back from three months in Costa

13
00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:47.519
Rica. I still haven't been yet. See now you'll be going for my

14
00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:51.400
for my birthday late next year.
There you go, and it's it's such

15
00:01:51.439 --> 00:01:53.599
a fun and it's I don't know, I imagine it's still still quite far

16
00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:57.719
from here, but it's probably easier
for you to get so that it's easy

17
00:01:57.799 --> 00:02:00.599
from Florida. Yeah, it's like
two and a half hour, all right,

18
00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:02.760
Well there, UK, it's it's
a bit more of an expensive trip

19
00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:07.079
for me from England's no doubt.
So I have to wait for like a

20
00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:09.479
big, you know, a big
opportunity to to make it really worth it.

21
00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:13.120
So I told you before the interview, I was gonna talk to you

22
00:02:13.159 --> 00:02:17.960
about a story about what happeneding intrigued. It happened three times, well for

23
00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:23.840
four things happened me. First,
there was a really bad day with really

24
00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:29.400
bad rips that two surfers had to
be saved by lifeguards. It was that

25
00:02:29.639 --> 00:02:35.240
bad, and I was okay in
that. But then I wiped out on

26
00:02:35.319 --> 00:02:40.159
this wave and the board hit my
ribs and I bruised my ribs. But

27
00:02:40.319 --> 00:02:45.199
I kept surfing, and I kept
surfing every day because I'm only here for

28
00:02:45.319 --> 00:02:47.560
a while. I'm like, the
ribs will get better. As long as

29
00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:53.719
they get better for festival season,
I'm cool. But then that didn't take

30
00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:59.520
me down. What took me down
three times jellyfish larvae. Do you know

31
00:02:59.639 --> 00:03:02.680
about that? No? But I
feel like I should. Everybody calls it

32
00:03:02.840 --> 00:03:07.039
sea lice. There's no such day
as sea lice. They're actually the jellyfish

33
00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:12.919
babies, and they get stuck in
your rash guard and your borg shorts.

34
00:03:13.719 --> 00:03:20.919
And imagine a bunch of jellyfish stinging
you at once. You're already sing when

35
00:03:20.960 --> 00:03:24.840
they're just oh yeah, it's bad. It's worse than jellyfish sting, making

36
00:03:24.960 --> 00:03:30.919
me reconsider my right trip right,
And I mean, like my whole body

37
00:03:31.159 --> 00:03:36.280
was full. Just don't wear a
clothes and you're good. Like, so

38
00:03:36.520 --> 00:03:39.960
go surfing at like the Nude beach
or something. So surely there's a like

39
00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:46.080
a time of year that they spawn. It's when it's windy and the water's

40
00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:47.919
cold. So that's your clue.
If you go in the water and it's

41
00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:53.599
cold in Costa Rica because you're on
the equator, yes, it makes Florida

42
00:03:53.680 --> 00:03:58.479
seem cold there. Okay, it's
hot, okay, so but you there

43
00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:01.039
were festivals therea You guys should play
Costa Rica and then you don't have to

44
00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:05.439
plan a trip. You could go
surfing while you play that too. I

45
00:04:05.479 --> 00:04:10.159
would love to see so much.
Yeah, a friend that we just did

46
00:04:10.199 --> 00:04:14.759
in an interview with Roberto he's from
Panama, and was saying, yeah,

47
00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:17.800
we're basically we're just talking about how
we've never been further south than North America.

48
00:04:17.839 --> 00:04:20.519
We've played some shows in Mexico,
but that's as far as we've got.

49
00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:26.240
We've never So you could do the
whole Central American tour, Costa Rica,

50
00:04:26.519 --> 00:04:30.839
Panama, Nicaragua, and you could
like surf in all of them.

51
00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:35.360
That would be amazing. I'd love
that. I have this hypea too,

52
00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:39.279
like, how about an agent on
it? How about you played a show

53
00:04:39.439 --> 00:04:44.959
surfing? Yeah, you could have
like a go pro hold my drum kit?

54
00:04:45.160 --> 00:04:47.519
Yeah yeah, yeah, you get
like a super wide board to put

55
00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:55.240
the kid on. You get go
Pro and they get you know, they

56
00:04:55.319 --> 00:04:58.959
can catch everything from one chord and
then fall off. I think exactly.

57
00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:05.439
There you go. So, man, you're you're over here again. How

58
00:05:05.439 --> 00:05:09.720
does it feel You never played Welcome
to Rockfield? Did you? No?

59
00:05:10.279 --> 00:05:14.160
No, I don't think so.
Did you ride on the speedway? We

60
00:05:14.279 --> 00:05:16.720
did? We were on a little
buggy. Yeah. How wild is that?

61
00:05:17.519 --> 00:05:21.720
You know? Like the wait we
got here and all our American crew

62
00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:25.879
like, oh fuck man, it's
so cool. We're here. I can't

63
00:05:25.879 --> 00:05:28.920
believe. And we're on that actual
racetrack. It's amazing. I'm like,

64
00:05:29.480 --> 00:05:33.120
what what what this means nothing to
me? What was his nas Nascar?

65
00:05:33.439 --> 00:05:41.199
Nascar? Yeah, like, especially
here in Florida, this is what football

66
00:05:41.480 --> 00:05:46.800
is to the UK and Europeans.
Nascar is like it's like this is like

67
00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:55.720
you have these raging like fans that
that that's they're all Nascar like they're fanatics.

68
00:05:56.959 --> 00:06:00.879
Roger Rogitar said, I have to
say, was it raise Hell and

69
00:06:00.040 --> 00:06:03.759
praise Dale? That's it, That's
what you have to say. It's Dale,

70
00:06:04.680 --> 00:06:10.680
you know, crashed and passed away
there. Yeah, this on this

71
00:06:10.920 --> 00:06:14.600
track and you could see why if
you go out there like that wall too,

72
00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:18.000
that's like vertical. I have my
skateboard with me. I've been tempted

73
00:06:18.079 --> 00:06:21.199
to go out there, but they'll
pull my media pass, so I might

74
00:06:21.240 --> 00:06:25.959
have to wait. Though after slipknots
off, if they kick you out,

75
00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:30.879
well it's over anyway. There you
go. So and I also overheard and

76
00:06:31.079 --> 00:06:35.560
I knew anyway, but you're playing
at Download too, so that's badass.

77
00:06:35.720 --> 00:06:39.560
Maybe I'll have to see you there
too, because I'll be there too.

78
00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:44.079
Yeah, it's our first time on
the main stage at Download Festival. Now

79
00:06:44.560 --> 00:06:49.160
we headlined Download Pilots, which was
the first of testa Festival. I was

80
00:06:49.240 --> 00:06:51.279
at that one. I think,
all right, well there you go.

81
00:06:51.399 --> 00:06:54.879
You know all about that then?
Yeah, yeah, coming out of COVID

82
00:06:55.040 --> 00:06:58.759
so that that was fantastic and we
played In fact, Download Festival was the

83
00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:02.680
first ever major festival to put us
on to give us a go wow,

84
00:07:03.519 --> 00:07:06.720
So it'll be fantastic to be It's
always good to be back there. We

85
00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:12.560
played it countless times now. So
what's a trip is that's a racetrack too,

86
00:07:12.680 --> 00:07:15.439
But when to a festival, you
don't feel like you're a racetrack here.

87
00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:18.720
And I have a trivia question for
you too, to ask all the

88
00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:23.439
bands, specially the ones that aren't
from the US. Do you know why

89
00:07:23.519 --> 00:07:26.879
all the seats up there are colored? Does it to make it look like

90
00:07:26.959 --> 00:07:30.680
there are people in them? Very
good ding ding ding? You get to

91
00:07:30.759 --> 00:07:35.279
still play at the festival now.
I was actually having this conversation with someone

92
00:07:35.319 --> 00:07:41.160
else earlier and we didn't know the
answer, but hazard a guess that that's

93
00:07:41.199 --> 00:07:44.480
what it was. That's what it
is right there. So let's talk about

94
00:07:44.519 --> 00:07:48.360
your newest music, because you got
some cool remixes and lit of cool shit

95
00:07:48.439 --> 00:07:53.439
going on, so let's talk about
that. Tell us, Yeah, the

96
00:07:53.680 --> 00:07:57.839
companion album to a Kiss for the
whole world. Got two remixes, Goldfish

97
00:07:57.879 --> 00:08:01.480
and Bloodshot. We've been playing Goldfish
remix on the UK tour that we just

98
00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:05.399
did, and it was kicking off
of be interesting whether goes down as well

99
00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:11.079
here. So the fans over there, your hometown fans, they like the

100
00:08:11.160 --> 00:08:13.639
remaxent huh yeah, yeah, very
much. Say so, tell us a

101
00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:18.439
little bit of how it's different and
why people should definitely check it out.

102
00:08:18.600 --> 00:08:22.879
Well, we're still am an ring
whether to play it over here, because

103
00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:26.519
like it's one hundred and seventy bpm, it's dance music, it's drum and

104
00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:33.039
bass, and America is still sort
of reluctantly getting into it. Shall we

105
00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:37.840
say so? There's definitely some movements
being made now, but yeah, they

106
00:08:37.879 --> 00:08:43.200
prefer the sort of head banging one
forty dubstep kind of area. But you'd

107
00:08:43.240 --> 00:08:46.279
be surprised at Danny Wimmer festivals.
Like I think it's a different crowd at

108
00:08:46.360 --> 00:08:52.159
Danny Wimmer festivals. You know,
you could have bands that just don't even

109
00:08:52.360 --> 00:08:56.559
belong at this festival and the crowd
will be insane. Well we're so today

110
00:08:56.639 --> 00:09:03.840
we're playing our old single Sorry and
I'll win up halfway through we'll switch up

111
00:09:03.879 --> 00:09:07.000
and do a remix of it,
a drumming based remix, So we'll see

112
00:09:07.039 --> 00:09:09.159
how that goes and if the audience
like it, and then late when we

113
00:09:09.200 --> 00:09:13.360
come back later in our year for
our headline tour, then then we'll know

114
00:09:13.480 --> 00:09:16.879
that we can add in a lot
more of those kind of remixes and knowing

115
00:09:16.919 --> 00:09:20.960
that they'll go down well, you
know where those remixes would be loved at

116
00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:26.360
a festival Costa Rica. That's the
type of festival like that they have there.

117
00:09:26.360 --> 00:09:30.440
There were three festivals there while I
was there. Oh really yeah,

118
00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:33.639
one that was directly on the beach. I didn't even know what was happening.

119
00:09:35.039 --> 00:09:39.759
I'm hanging out of my place and
I hear like this loud stuff going

120
00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:41.919
on. I'm like, what is
that? Because Costa Rica, you know,

121
00:09:43.039 --> 00:09:48.000
it's like it's that, It's not
like that and so quite my attention.

122
00:09:48.159 --> 00:09:50.720
So I'm walking towards the sound and
I'm like, walk on the beach

123
00:09:50.759 --> 00:09:54.759
and there's this huge festival going on. I'm like, shit, I can't

124
00:09:54.799 --> 00:09:58.840
get away from these festivals no matter
where I go. But it would fit

125
00:09:58.879 --> 00:10:03.039
in because that type of stuff I
want to bring, like a metal festival

126
00:10:03.159 --> 00:10:11.240
to Costa Rica, but they do
love the electronic and house and all that

127
00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:16.559
stuff there. So there you go. Tell me, what is your most

128
00:10:16.759 --> 00:10:24.039
memorable story playing in the US?
Oh my goodness, See that's hard,

129
00:10:24.159 --> 00:10:30.559
right, I was. I was
watching one of our earliest tour diaries the

130
00:10:30.639 --> 00:10:37.720
other day and when we played Golfield, New Jersey, that's the one I

131
00:10:37.879 --> 00:10:41.399
was thinking of. I know exactly
where that is too, because I'm from

132
00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:48.240
Jersey. And what was it.
It was like some old community thing and

133
00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:52.440
then some kid got like hit with
a baseball bat or something and I show

134
00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:58.039
didn't almost go ahead, and then
the PA broke it turned out. Yeah,

135
00:10:58.080 --> 00:11:00.279
so when we had gone out to
get food and when we came back,

136
00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:01.200
our tour manager at the time was
like, oh, man, it's

137
00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:05.679
chaos. Whose guy's got hit by
a baseball bats? Police here? And

138
00:11:05.480 --> 00:11:09.600
turned out he was just being an
idiot and smacking a keg with a baseball

139
00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:13.360
bat. It rebounded and hit himself
in the head. And yes, oh,

140
00:11:13.879 --> 00:11:16.879
the local concert turned up just because
you know, there was some noise

141
00:11:16.960 --> 00:11:20.159
going on and they just wanted to
check that no one was causing any trouble

142
00:11:20.200 --> 00:11:22.679
and they weren't, and so they
moved on and that it wasn't half as

143
00:11:22.759 --> 00:11:26.679
dramatic as our tour manager made it
sound out. I think he was just

144
00:11:26.799 --> 00:11:31.279
trying to replace clown and slipnot so
he could play Welcome the Rock Felm.

145
00:11:31.360 --> 00:11:33.240
That's probably what it was. Yeah, But no, it ended up being

146
00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:37.240
the sweatiest gig we've ever played because
there wasn't any air conditioning in the room

147
00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:43.519
that all. There was like two
big fans, and the hard light did

148
00:11:43.559 --> 00:11:46.039
absolutely fuck all and so I think
