00:00:04.440 --> 00:00:10.919
Hey, you love them too,
that's sure. I'm from four see why
2
00:00:11.439 --> 00:00:23.679
for you Wake up America, It's
time for the Adventures. So pipe Man
3
00:00:23.800 --> 00:00:28.280
on w for cy dot com West
pom Beats his number one internet radio station.
4
00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:53.840
Here's your host, the White Man. This is the pipe Man here
5
00:00:53.920 --> 00:00:58.039
on the Adventures Pyke Mand W four
c Y Radio and I'm here with Will
6
00:00:59.119 --> 00:01:03.359
from Nice. See. I like
when the artist does it for two reasons.
7
00:01:04.079 --> 00:01:10.000
One is they usually do it better
than I do. Two is if
8
00:01:10.040 --> 00:01:14.599
it's a hard one to pronounce,
I don't mess it up. Right.
9
00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:17.879
Oh, this one's not too hard, I hope. No. I think
10
00:01:17.920 --> 00:01:21.159
I could get that one that.
I think I could pronounce it. But
11
00:01:21.239 --> 00:01:25.560
you never know nowadays, right,
there's so many bands that you think it's
12
00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:29.280
said one way, but it said
another way. Yeah, so let them
13
00:01:29.359 --> 00:01:30.959
do it well. We try to
keep it simple in this band. So,
14
00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:34.480
but I can't tell you what CNT
stands for. That is an inner
15
00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:38.799
secret. Oh okay, I like
that too. That's kind of like you
16
00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:44.799
know with Black Sabbath, they had
that song nib and nobody for the longest
17
00:01:44.879 --> 00:01:48.079
time even knew what it meant.
Yeah, I mean we do now,
18
00:01:48.239 --> 00:01:52.719
but I know keep the mystery,
Keep the mystery. It's kind of like,
19
00:01:52.920 --> 00:01:59.040
do you remember the old punk fan
MDC, NBC MDC millions of Dead
20
00:01:59.079 --> 00:02:02.040
Cops. Yes, but then they
went there were like so many different names
21
00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:07.439
for see. I thought that was
funny. It's like every year it was
22
00:02:07.480 --> 00:02:10.319
a different name. Yeah. Yeah, So how's it feel to be here
23
00:02:10.360 --> 00:02:14.680
at riot Fest? Good? It's
been hectic. We got here, you
24
00:02:14.719 --> 00:02:16.919
know. We came right from the
airport yesterday and saw the last hour of
25
00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:22.280
the Food Fighters. I couldn't see
anything else, unfortunately, but at least
26
00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:23.240
you caught that though. Yeah,
I saw that. That was cool.
27
00:02:24.520 --> 00:02:28.840
I think some other a couple of
us got here early enough to see some
28
00:02:28.960 --> 00:02:31.719
other bands, but I personally haven't
seen much yet. And I just pulled
29
00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:37.360
up right now to this. So
and who who would you like to set
30
00:02:37.439 --> 00:02:40.840
time aside to see? We're gonna
We're gonna see i CP, that's the
31
00:02:40.919 --> 00:02:46.680
analyst. Well, I mean we're
actually going to play another show tonight with
32
00:02:46.840 --> 00:02:51.919
to leave? Is that the after
show? Yeah? Who's that with that?
33
00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:55.000
You're playing tonight? I forget closives? Okay, yeah, so that
34
00:02:55.400 --> 00:02:59.719
that would be fun because those club
shows, the after shows, those are
35
00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:02.520
pre go fun. Yeah, you've
done them for this festival, but I've
36
00:03:02.520 --> 00:03:07.560
never played here before. Oh really
at Rio we played Chicago. I figured
37
00:03:08.120 --> 00:03:12.879
some but yeah, then tomorrow we're
trying to see the Cure, of course
38
00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:17.759
can't. I can't remember else.
We're excited to see now Death Cab.
39
00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:23.919
We want to see Turnstile consue him. They were pretty good, Yeah,
40
00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:28.199
the usual suspect. I'm looking forward
to mister Bungle. Mister Bungle. Yeah,
41
00:03:29.039 --> 00:03:31.199
so I'm going to Pennywise. Like
I didn't go out there all day,
42
00:03:31.240 --> 00:03:34.800
so I'm going Paywise and mister Bungle. So when you text me,
43
00:03:34.919 --> 00:03:38.319
that's why I was like, okay, so how much later? Yeah,
44
00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:44.360
Oh, I don't mind. I'll
stay just namare. But we weren't too
45
00:03:44.439 --> 00:03:46.400
late, I don't think so I
know how that goes anyway, so it
46
00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:52.360
doesn't bother me. I stay in
here till I'm done. Besides, I
47
00:03:52.439 --> 00:03:54.960
got it right here. Like some
festivals, it sucks you can't hear anything,
48
00:03:55.039 --> 00:03:59.400
but if I miss sets, I
want was sitting that's right here.
49
00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:04.599
I totally so describe to our listeners. For those of you who and those
50
00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:11.199
of us that have not heard you, how would you as an artist describe
51
00:04:11.240 --> 00:04:15.600
your music. You know, we
take a lot of influence from the major
52
00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:18.560
Shoe Gays bands probably, Like I
mean, we don't listen to much Shoe
53
00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:25.240
Gays, but we listen to My
Bloody Valentine all the time. You know,
54
00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:27.399
we listened to a lot of stuff. I don't know how it comes
55
00:04:27.399 --> 00:04:32.079
across on the records, but basically
nineties guitarist guitarists and more guitarists. And
56
00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:35.399
see I love that because we're missing
that nowadays. Yeah, like you have
57
00:04:35.519 --> 00:04:41.759
these bands and it's like where's the
guitars? Yeah, it's so it's like
58
00:04:41.879 --> 00:04:46.160
an algebraic equation that they have this
formula instead of the old school where it
59
00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:51.680
was just this creativity whatever came like
into you came out in out of the
60
00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:56.480
guitar. Yeah. Yeah. This
new record we got coming out, I
61
00:04:56.600 --> 00:05:01.040
think has a little bit more of
like a teenage fan club kind of if
62
00:05:01.040 --> 00:05:04.639
you're familiar with them at all.
A lot of some more like harmonies and
63
00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:10.360
stuff like that. But yeah,
Melisten and lots of stuff. Very cool.
64
00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:14.519
And so what was that moment in
time in life where you knew this
65
00:05:14.759 --> 00:05:17.000
is what you wanted to do?
Oh I still don't Oh there you go.
66
00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:24.000
I questioned every day all the pain, But I mean, I don't
67
00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:27.279
know. I think no matter what
happens, I'll always write songs and get
68
00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:30.079
on the four track and record.
So I don't know if there was a
69
00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:34.399
specific moment. It's probably a lot, but I could remember, like my
70
00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:39.800
I had a piano teacher in high
school who actually gave me a four track,
71
00:05:40.360 --> 00:05:45.040
like a four track tape record,
and that that kind of stuck with
72
00:05:45.160 --> 00:05:48.000
me, and when I started plugging
around with that, that was a big
73
00:05:48.120 --> 00:05:53.839
turning point. I think hearing like
my voice and being able to multi track
74
00:05:53.879 --> 00:05:57.319
stuff was kind of a revolution in
the word way. And I love what
75
00:05:57.439 --> 00:06:01.040
you said before because I think a
lot of people don't wise like artists.
76
00:06:02.360 --> 00:06:08.720
It's you do go through that battle
every day because it's a lot of work
77
00:06:08.920 --> 00:06:12.759
and there's a lot you gotta deal
with. They just look at hey,
78
00:06:13.720 --> 00:06:16.319
they're playing music. That must be
fun. Yeah, and it is fun,
79
00:06:16.879 --> 00:06:20.000
but there's a lot more that goes
along with it. It's a lot
80
00:06:20.040 --> 00:06:23.600
of work, definitely. I think
even like within the band, we we
81
00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:27.639
kind of fight with ourselves about like, oh, we're this is so cool,
82
00:06:27.720 --> 00:06:30.839
We're playing this festival. But it's
like dude, A lot of working
83
00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:34.759
into getting here and get into this
point. And I'm not I'm not trying
84
00:06:34.759 --> 00:06:38.199
to get anyone into pitting me or
anything. It is it's really, uh,
85
00:06:39.120 --> 00:06:41.600
it's very We're very lucky, and
I think we have a lot of
86
00:06:41.600 --> 00:06:46.240
opportunities that you know, ninety nine
point nine percent of the bands don't get,
87
00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:49.040
and we're thankful and grateful for that
all the time. But yeah,
88
00:06:49.079 --> 00:06:54.560
it's a lot of work. And
I focus on that too, because like
89
00:06:55.120 --> 00:07:00.680
I want bands to be supported,
and like they don't realize how much has
90
00:07:00.759 --> 00:07:05.000
to go into being a band,
writing music, producing it, playing live,
91
00:07:05.839 --> 00:07:12.639
you know, getting your three was
it three pennies for per million plays
92
00:07:12.800 --> 00:07:17.279
or whatever, you know, So
yeah, it's hard. Yeah, I
93
00:07:17.399 --> 00:07:23.519
mean it's like, what what would
you do instead, you know, if
94
00:07:23.519 --> 00:07:26.439
we weren't doing this. So let's
see, that's the attitude right there that
95
00:07:26.639 --> 00:07:30.839
says you're an artist because listen,
you're not doing it for the wrong reason.
96
00:07:31.439 --> 00:07:34.759
Like sometimes there's bands are doing it
for the business side, and I
97
00:07:34.879 --> 00:07:39.839
think they're idiots to be this because
I mean, yeah, the music business
98
00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:43.120
side of this band came in probably
like six months ago. I've been doing
99
00:07:43.160 --> 00:07:46.759
the band for about five years and
it was always just put out the record
100
00:07:46.839 --> 00:07:49.079
myself, go on dy tours that
say that was all. There was no
101
00:07:49.319 --> 00:07:53.519
no plan beyond that. It's fun
that way. Yeah, it was great,
102
00:07:54.439 --> 00:07:56.680
but a lot of work, but
which we always enjoyed. But I
103
00:07:56.759 --> 00:07:59.600
think, you know, I'm in
my mid thirties now and it's kind of
104
00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:03.000
like, all right, maybe maybe
I'm not going to say no to everyone
105
00:08:03.079 --> 00:08:09.360
that comes along every offer to like
enter into the music industry. And I
106
00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:11.079
think Third Man is it was the
right choice. They've been They've been great
107
00:08:11.079 --> 00:08:13.879
to work with our new label.
So see that's good to hear. But
108
00:08:15.079 --> 00:08:18.839
let hey, if you didn't do
what you did, you know, you
109
00:08:18.959 --> 00:08:22.040
might not have found them. You
might have found somebody else that wasn't as
110
00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:26.920
good, right, So I think
you kind of waited around for the right
111
00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:28.560
fit. And you have to have
the right fit because you gotta be happy
112
00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:31.120
to be in this business. If
you're not happy, you're in the wrong
113
00:08:31.240 --> 00:08:33.960
business. Ye. You should be
having fun. It should be happy,
114
00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:37.799
but you have the other things along
with it totally, So what else is
115
00:08:37.799 --> 00:08:41.279
going to be happening? After a
riot fest? We are doing a tour
116
00:08:43.360 --> 00:08:46.000
in October with the Spanish sheer mag
Okay, we got like two and a
117
00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:50.159
half weeks with them, and then
we're going back to the UK and November
118
00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:54.799
for about two weeks and then another
West Coast tour with Quicksands as to that,
119
00:08:56.720 --> 00:09:00.000
and then we're off for the holidays, but then starts right back up.
120
00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:05.399
Began in January. We got pretty
much books solid until like next summer
121
00:09:05.559 --> 00:09:09.320
basically. And so how do you
like that part of the business, the
122
00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:13.440
road dog part of the business,
It's great. I mean, as long
123
00:09:13.519 --> 00:09:16.399
as we can support ourselves pay the
bills, that's really you know, it's
124
00:09:16.440 --> 00:09:20.639
a lot of fun. The show's
have been great and because that's a fun
125
00:09:20.759 --> 00:09:24.679
part, right, Yeah. It's
like sometimes I'll take my youngest daughter to
126
00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:28.600
win the festivals with me, and
after half a day of the first day,
127
00:09:28.679 --> 00:09:30.759
she's like, Dad, I don't
know how you do this. Every
128
00:09:30.840 --> 00:09:33.639
weekend I'm done array and I'm like, I don't know how. I don't
129
00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:37.360
like when I get home, I'm
like, I don't know what to do.
130
00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:39.480
I kind of recluse when I get
home, you know, you know
131
00:09:39.559 --> 00:09:41.519
how it is. Oh, when
I get home from tour, I'm I'm
132
00:09:41.639 --> 00:09:45.919
on the video games for three or
four days. Straight. Yeah, catching
133
00:09:46.039 --> 00:09:48.759
up. I'm catching up on all
the stuff I mixed missed on my Xbox
134
00:09:48.879 --> 00:09:54.279
to download exactly exactly. I'm a
Nintendo guy, but same theory, you
135
00:09:54.320 --> 00:09:56.440
know. I like to just kind
of hunker down and hide out for a
136
00:09:56.480 --> 00:10:01.200
little bit with my dog and feel
and then yeah, then get back into
137
00:10:01.240 --> 00:10:07.600
the social life after that. Yeah, exactly. So craziest story in your
138
00:10:07.720 --> 00:10:13.039
musical career? What has it been? Story? Oh? Wow, So
139
00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:22.080
we need to count, but I
mean I'm thinking about one. A few
140
00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:26.519
years ago, we went to Southwest
Southwest of my old bands and brought my
141
00:10:26.639 --> 00:10:31.279
dad on tour with us for a
few days, which is really great.
142
00:10:33.240 --> 00:10:35.840
But we had to get to Texas
and we were driving from New Orleans,
143
00:10:35.919 --> 00:10:39.919
but the whole highway was flooded,
so we drove like ten hours out of
144
00:10:39.960 --> 00:10:45.759
our way, like up above north
of everything. I said, I don't
145
00:10:45.799 --> 00:10:48.559
know if this is the kind of
craziestory you're looking for, but it was
146
00:10:48.639 --> 00:10:50.960
just a brutal day and my dad
was there for all of it, and
147
00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:52.399
it was just kind of like,
we'll see, it was cool that you're
148
00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:56.919
dad was there for, you know, And it is a good story because
149
00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:01.240
it's hard enough being on the road
now to go ten hours out of your
150
00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:05.559
way. Yeah, that's why I'm
in South Florida and none of the bands
151
00:11:05.639 --> 00:11:09.000
want to come down there because it's
like five hours down in five hours to
152
00:11:09.080 --> 00:11:13.679
get out. So you're wasting ten
hours, you know, when you could
153
00:11:13.679 --> 00:11:15.960
be playing gigs. I mean,
I've lived in lots of cities like that.
154
00:11:16.159 --> 00:11:18.879
Minneapolis is definitely it's like, oh
we're playing Chicago, maybe Milwaukee,
155
00:11:20.039 --> 00:11:22.720
but not Minneapolis. And Vancouver where
I was, it was like, Okay,
156
00:11:22.759 --> 00:11:26.600
we'll do Portland, Seattle, but
a whole border crossing. Nah,
157
00:11:26.679 --> 00:11:28.679
we're not coming up there. So
it kind of forces you to like be
158
00:11:30.679 --> 00:11:35.120
creative scene right there in town.
And I don't know, sometimes that works,
159
00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:39.080
noose doesn't. But now music,
take that out of the picture for
160
00:11:39.159 --> 00:11:43.360
a second. Now, what's your
passion? Now, what's my passion?
161
00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:48.759
Well, I did start a career
quote unquote for the radio people as a
162
00:11:50.360 --> 00:11:54.200
school counselor. But I almost have
my degree, my master's agree in that
163
00:11:54.200 --> 00:11:58.360
and I do currently work in public
schools. It's like a substitute teacher.
164
00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:01.440
But I don't know if I would
say that's my passion. I mean basketballs
165
00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:07.399
okay, I mean huge huge basketball
fan. So what's who's your team?
166
00:12:07.879 --> 00:12:11.960
Minnesota Timberwolves? Nice? And do
you have a favorite player? I would
167
00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:13.799
say Anthony Edwards is my player.
He's kind of our new He's the new
168
00:12:13.879 --> 00:12:18.679
Jordan for our team. He tore
it up in THEBA Cup this year and
169
00:12:18.279 --> 00:12:20.720
ex said it to see what it
does this year, taking a leap,
170
00:12:20.799 --> 00:12:24.879
I hope. So now you gotta
get your music playing and to Timberwolf games.
171
00:12:24.960 --> 00:12:28.480
It's it's in talks. See there
you go. I love it.
172
00:12:28.879 --> 00:12:33.159
Anything else you want the listeners to
know that we haven't covered already, No,
173
00:12:33.519 --> 00:12:37.559
I'm thanks for tuning in and taking
the time to listen to the record.

I hope you like it, and
tell everybody how they can connect with
175
00:12:41.399 --> 00:12:43.679
you guys on socials and most importantly, going back to what we said before,
176
00:12:43.799 --> 00:12:46.720
buy your merch because that's the only
way you keep touring. Yeah,
177
00:12:48.559 --> 00:12:50.679
we do have social media accounts,
but you should go to our actual website,
178
00:12:52.480 --> 00:12:56.919

00:13:09.720 --> 00:13:13.840
cutting Paste. It's a fancy and
about basketball news, but also goes
182
00:13:13.879 --> 00:13:18.039
into other territory like you know,
punk rock and seeing politics and stuff like
183
00:13:18.120 --> 00:13:22.440
that. See now, you could
do a podcast with all those combinedment There

Here's your host, the White Man. This is the pipe Man here
5
00:00:53.920 --> 00:00:58.039
on the Adventures Pyke Mand W four
c Y Radio and I'm here with Will
6
00:00:59.119 --> 00:01:03.359
from Nice. See. I like
when the artist does it for two reasons.
7
00:01:04.079 --> 00:01:10.000
One is they usually do it better
than I do. Two is if
8
00:01:10.040 --> 00:01:14.599
it's a hard one to pronounce,
I don't mess it up. Right.
9
00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:17.879
Oh, this one's not too hard, I hope. No. I think
10
00:01:17.920 --> 00:01:21.159
I could get that one that.
I think I could pronounce it. But
11
00:01:21.239 --> 00:01:25.560
you never know nowadays, right,
there's so many bands that you think it's
12
00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:29.280
said one way, but it said
another way. Yeah, so let them
13
00:01:29.359 --> 00:01:30.959
do it well. We try to
keep it simple in this band. So,
14
00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:34.480
but I can't tell you what CNT
stands for. That is an inner
15
00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:38.799
secret. Oh okay, I like
that too. That's kind of like you
16
00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:44.799
know with Black Sabbath, they had
that song nib and nobody for the longest
17
00:01:44.879 --> 00:01:48.079
time even knew what it meant.
Yeah, I mean we do now,
18
00:01:48.239 --> 00:01:52.719
but I know keep the mystery,
Keep the mystery. It's kind of like,
19
00:01:52.920 --> 00:01:59.040
do you remember the old punk fan
MDC, NBC MDC millions of Dead
20
00:01:59.079 --> 00:02:02.040
Cops. Yes, but then they
went there were like so many different names
21
00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:07.439
for see. I thought that was
funny. It's like every year it was
22
00:02:07.480 --> 00:02:10.319
a different name. Yeah. Yeah, So how's it feel to be here
23
00:02:10.360 --> 00:02:14.680
at riot Fest? Good? It's
been hectic. We got here, you
24
00:02:14.719 --> 00:02:16.919
know. We came right from the
airport yesterday and saw the last hour of
25
00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:22.280
the Food Fighters. I couldn't see
anything else, unfortunately, but at least
26
00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:23.240
you caught that though. Yeah,
I saw that. That was cool.
27
00:02:24.520 --> 00:02:28.840
I think some other a couple of
us got here early enough to see some
28
00:02:28.960 --> 00:02:31.719
other bands, but I personally haven't
seen much yet. And I just pulled
29
00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:37.360
up right now to this. So
and who who would you like to set
30
00:02:37.439 --> 00:02:40.840
time aside to see? We're gonna
We're gonna see i CP, that's the
31
00:02:40.919 --> 00:02:46.680
analyst. Well, I mean we're
actually going to play another show tonight with
32
00:02:46.840 --> 00:02:51.919
to leave? Is that the after
show? Yeah? Who's that with that?
33
00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:55.000
You're playing tonight? I forget closives? Okay, yeah, so that
34
00:02:55.400 --> 00:02:59.719
that would be fun because those club
shows, the after shows, those are
35
00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:02.520
pre go fun. Yeah, you've
done them for this festival, but I've
36
00:03:02.520 --> 00:03:07.560
never played here before. Oh really
at Rio we played Chicago. I figured
37
00:03:08.120 --> 00:03:12.879
some but yeah, then tomorrow we're
trying to see the Cure, of course
38
00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:17.759
can't. I can't remember else.
We're excited to see now Death Cab.
39
00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:23.919
We want to see Turnstile consue him. They were pretty good, Yeah,
40
00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:28.199
the usual suspect. I'm looking forward
to mister Bungle. Mister Bungle. Yeah,
41
00:03:29.039 --> 00:03:31.199
so I'm going to Pennywise. Like
I didn't go out there all day,
42
00:03:31.240 --> 00:03:34.800
so I'm going Paywise and mister Bungle. So when you text me,
43
00:03:34.919 --> 00:03:38.319
that's why I was like, okay, so how much later? Yeah,
44
00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:44.360
Oh, I don't mind. I'll
stay just namare. But we weren't too
45
00:03:44.439 --> 00:03:46.400
late, I don't think so I
know how that goes anyway, so it
46
00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:52.360
doesn't bother me. I stay in
here till I'm done. Besides, I
47
00:03:52.439 --> 00:03:54.960
got it right here. Like some
festivals, it sucks you can't hear anything,
48
00:03:55.039 --> 00:03:59.400
but if I miss sets, I
want was sitting that's right here.
49
00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:04.599
I totally so describe to our listeners. For those of you who and those
50
00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:11.199
of us that have not heard you, how would you as an artist describe
51
00:04:11.240 --> 00:04:15.600
your music. You know, we
take a lot of influence from the major
52
00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:18.560
Shoe Gays bands probably, Like I
mean, we don't listen to much Shoe
53
00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:25.240
Gays, but we listen to My
Bloody Valentine all the time. You know,
54
00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:27.399
we listened to a lot of stuff. I don't know how it comes
55
00:04:27.399 --> 00:04:32.079
across on the records, but basically
nineties guitarist guitarists and more guitarists. And
56
00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:35.399
see I love that because we're missing
that nowadays. Yeah, like you have
57
00:04:35.519 --> 00:04:41.759
these bands and it's like where's the
guitars? Yeah, it's so it's like
58
00:04:41.879 --> 00:04:46.160
an algebraic equation that they have this
formula instead of the old school where it
59
00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:51.680
was just this creativity whatever came like
into you came out in out of the
60
00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:56.480
guitar. Yeah. Yeah. This
new record we got coming out, I
61
00:04:56.600 --> 00:05:01.040
think has a little bit more of
like a teenage fan club kind of if
62
00:05:01.040 --> 00:05:04.639
you're familiar with them at all.
A lot of some more like harmonies and
63
00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:10.360
stuff like that. But yeah,
Melisten and lots of stuff. Very cool.
64
00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:14.519
And so what was that moment in
time in life where you knew this
65
00:05:14.759 --> 00:05:17.000
is what you wanted to do?
Oh I still don't Oh there you go.
66
00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:24.000
I questioned every day all the pain, But I mean, I don't
67
00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:27.279
know. I think no matter what
happens, I'll always write songs and get
68
00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:30.079
on the four track and record.
So I don't know if there was a
69
00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:34.399
specific moment. It's probably a lot, but I could remember, like my
70
00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:39.800
I had a piano teacher in high
school who actually gave me a four track,
71
00:05:40.360 --> 00:05:45.040
like a four track tape record,
and that that kind of stuck with
72
00:05:45.160 --> 00:05:48.000
me, and when I started plugging
around with that, that was a big
73
00:05:48.120 --> 00:05:53.839
turning point. I think hearing like
my voice and being able to multi track
74
00:05:53.879 --> 00:05:57.319
stuff was kind of a revolution in
the word way. And I love what
75
00:05:57.439 --> 00:06:01.040
you said before because I think a
lot of people don't wise like artists.
76
00:06:02.360 --> 00:06:08.720
It's you do go through that battle
every day because it's a lot of work
77
00:06:08.920 --> 00:06:12.759
and there's a lot you gotta deal
with. They just look at hey,
78
00:06:13.720 --> 00:06:16.319
they're playing music. That must be
fun. Yeah, and it is fun,
79
00:06:16.879 --> 00:06:20.000
but there's a lot more that goes
along with it. It's a lot
80
00:06:20.040 --> 00:06:23.600
of work, definitely. I think
even like within the band, we we
81
00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:27.639
kind of fight with ourselves about like, oh, we're this is so cool,
82
00:06:27.720 --> 00:06:30.839
We're playing this festival. But it's
like dude, A lot of working
83
00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:34.759
into getting here and get into this
point. And I'm not I'm not trying
84
00:06:34.759 --> 00:06:38.199
to get anyone into pitting me or
anything. It is it's really, uh,
85
00:06:39.120 --> 00:06:41.600
it's very We're very lucky, and
I think we have a lot of
86
00:06:41.600 --> 00:06:46.240
opportunities that you know, ninety nine
point nine percent of the bands don't get,
87
00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:49.040
and we're thankful and grateful for that
all the time. But yeah,
88
00:06:49.079 --> 00:06:54.560
it's a lot of work. And
I focus on that too, because like
89
00:06:55.120 --> 00:07:00.680
I want bands to be supported,
and like they don't realize how much has
90
00:07:00.759 --> 00:07:05.000
to go into being a band,
writing music, producing it, playing live,
91
00:07:05.839 --> 00:07:12.639
you know, getting your three was
it three pennies for per million plays
92
00:07:12.800 --> 00:07:17.279
or whatever, you know, So
yeah, it's hard. Yeah, I
93
00:07:17.399 --> 00:07:23.519
mean it's like, what what would
you do instead, you know, if
94
00:07:23.519 --> 00:07:26.439
we weren't doing this. So let's
see, that's the attitude right there that
95
00:07:26.639 --> 00:07:30.839
says you're an artist because listen,
you're not doing it for the wrong reason.
96
00:07:31.439 --> 00:07:34.759
Like sometimes there's bands are doing it
for the business side, and I
97
00:07:34.879 --> 00:07:39.839
think they're idiots to be this because
I mean, yeah, the music business
98
00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:43.120
side of this band came in probably
like six months ago. I've been doing
99
00:07:43.160 --> 00:07:46.759
the band for about five years and
it was always just put out the record
100
00:07:46.839 --> 00:07:49.079
myself, go on dy tours that
say that was all. There was no
101
00:07:49.319 --> 00:07:53.519
no plan beyond that. It's fun
that way. Yeah, it was great,
102
00:07:54.439 --> 00:07:56.680
but a lot of work, but
which we always enjoyed. But I
103
00:07:56.759 --> 00:07:59.600
think, you know, I'm in
my mid thirties now and it's kind of
104
00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:03.000
like, all right, maybe maybe
I'm not going to say no to everyone
105
00:08:03.079 --> 00:08:09.360
that comes along every offer to like
enter into the music industry. And I
106
00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:11.079
think Third Man is it was the
right choice. They've been They've been great
107
00:08:11.079 --> 00:08:13.879
to work with our new label.
So see that's good to hear. But
108
00:08:15.079 --> 00:08:18.839
let hey, if you didn't do
what you did, you know, you
109
00:08:18.959 --> 00:08:22.040
might not have found them. You
might have found somebody else that wasn't as
110
00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:26.920
good, right, So I think
you kind of waited around for the right
111
00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:28.560
fit. And you have to have
the right fit because you gotta be happy
112
00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:31.120
to be in this business. If
you're not happy, you're in the wrong
113
00:08:31.240 --> 00:08:33.960
business. Ye. You should be
having fun. It should be happy,
114
00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:37.799
but you have the other things along
with it totally, So what else is
115
00:08:37.799 --> 00:08:41.279
going to be happening? After a
riot fest? We are doing a tour
116
00:08:43.360 --> 00:08:46.000
in October with the Spanish sheer mag
Okay, we got like two and a
117
00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:50.159
half weeks with them, and then
we're going back to the UK and November
118
00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:54.799
for about two weeks and then another
West Coast tour with Quicksands as to that,
119
00:08:56.720 --> 00:09:00.000
and then we're off for the holidays, but then starts right back up.
120
00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:05.399
Began in January. We got pretty
much books solid until like next summer
121
00:09:05.559 --> 00:09:09.320
basically. And so how do you
like that part of the business, the
122
00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:13.440
road dog part of the business,
It's great. I mean, as long
123
00:09:13.519 --> 00:09:16.399
as we can support ourselves pay the
bills, that's really you know, it's
124
00:09:16.440 --> 00:09:20.639
a lot of fun. The show's
have been great and because that's a fun
125
00:09:20.759 --> 00:09:24.679
part, right, Yeah. It's
like sometimes I'll take my youngest daughter to
126
00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:28.600
win the festivals with me, and
after half a day of the first day,
127
00:09:28.679 --> 00:09:30.759
she's like, Dad, I don't
know how you do this. Every
128
00:09:30.840 --> 00:09:33.639
weekend I'm done array and I'm like, I don't know how. I don't
129
00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:37.360
like when I get home, I'm
like, I don't know what to do.
130
00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:39.480
I kind of recluse when I get
home, you know, you know
131
00:09:39.559 --> 00:09:41.519
how it is. Oh, when
I get home from tour, I'm I'm
132
00:09:41.639 --> 00:09:45.919
on the video games for three or
four days. Straight. Yeah, catching
133
00:09:46.039 --> 00:09:48.759
up. I'm catching up on all
the stuff I mixed missed on my Xbox
134
00:09:48.879 --> 00:09:54.279
to download exactly exactly. I'm a
Nintendo guy, but same theory, you
135
00:09:54.320 --> 00:09:56.440
know. I like to just kind
of hunker down and hide out for a
136
00:09:56.480 --> 00:10:01.200
little bit with my dog and feel
and then yeah, then get back into
137
00:10:01.240 --> 00:10:07.600
the social life after that. Yeah, exactly. So craziest story in your
138
00:10:07.720 --> 00:10:13.039
musical career? What has it been? Story? Oh? Wow, So
139
00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:22.080
we need to count, but I
mean I'm thinking about one. A few
140
00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:26.519
years ago, we went to Southwest
Southwest of my old bands and brought my
141
00:10:26.639 --> 00:10:31.279
dad on tour with us for a
few days, which is really great.
142
00:10:33.240 --> 00:10:35.840
But we had to get to Texas
and we were driving from New Orleans,
143
00:10:35.919 --> 00:10:39.919
but the whole highway was flooded,
so we drove like ten hours out of
144
00:10:39.960 --> 00:10:45.759
our way, like up above north
of everything. I said, I don't
145
00:10:45.799 --> 00:10:48.559
know if this is the kind of
craziestory you're looking for, but it was
146
00:10:48.639 --> 00:10:50.960
just a brutal day and my dad
was there for all of it, and
147
00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:52.399
it was just kind of like,
we'll see, it was cool that you're
148
00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:56.919
dad was there for, you know, And it is a good story because
149
00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:01.240
it's hard enough being on the road
now to go ten hours out of your
150
00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:05.559
way. Yeah, that's why I'm
in South Florida and none of the bands
151
00:11:05.639 --> 00:11:09.000
want to come down there because it's
like five hours down in five hours to
152
00:11:09.080 --> 00:11:13.679
get out. So you're wasting ten
hours, you know, when you could
153
00:11:13.679 --> 00:11:15.960
be playing gigs. I mean,
I've lived in lots of cities like that.
154
00:11:16.159 --> 00:11:18.879
Minneapolis is definitely it's like, oh
we're playing Chicago, maybe Milwaukee,
155
00:11:20.039 --> 00:11:22.720
but not Minneapolis. And Vancouver where
I was, it was like, Okay,
156
00:11:22.759 --> 00:11:26.600
we'll do Portland, Seattle, but
a whole border crossing. Nah,
157
00:11:26.679 --> 00:11:28.679
we're not coming up there. So
it kind of forces you to like be
158
00:11:30.679 --> 00:11:35.120
creative scene right there in town.
And I don't know, sometimes that works,
159
00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:39.080
noose doesn't. But now music,
take that out of the picture for
160
00:11:39.159 --> 00:11:43.360
a second. Now, what's your
passion? Now, what's my passion?
161
00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:48.759
Well, I did start a career
quote unquote for the radio people as a
162
00:11:50.360 --> 00:11:54.200
school counselor. But I almost have
my degree, my master's agree in that
163
00:11:54.200 --> 00:11:58.360
and I do currently work in public
schools. It's like a substitute teacher.
164
00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:01.440
But I don't know if I would
say that's my passion. I mean basketballs
165
00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:07.399
okay, I mean huge huge basketball
fan. So what's who's your team?
166
00:12:07.879 --> 00:12:11.960
Minnesota Timberwolves? Nice? And do
you have a favorite player? I would
167
00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:13.799
say Anthony Edwards is my player.
He's kind of our new He's the new
168
00:12:13.879 --> 00:12:18.679
Jordan for our team. He tore
it up in THEBA Cup this year and
169
00:12:18.279 --> 00:12:20.720
ex said it to see what it
does this year, taking a leap,
170
00:12:20.799 --> 00:12:24.879
I hope. So now you gotta
get your music playing and to Timberwolf games.
171
00:12:24.960 --> 00:12:28.480
It's it's in talks. See there
you go. I love it.
172
00:12:28.879 --> 00:12:33.159

know that we haven't covered already, No,

176
00:12:43.799 --> 00:12:46.720
buy your merch because that's the only
way you keep touring. Yeah,
177
