Join me, your host Pipeman, on a wild auditory journey through the landscape of festival music production, influences, and backstage antics. Listen in as I chat with the dynamic duo Little Stranger, where we riff on everything from their unforgettable band name to the iconic Jeff Goldblum in The Fly. We'll take you back to our first whiffs of rebellion at concerts and recount the transformative power of festival experiences, from the sober spectating to the unleashed wild sides that have recently brought Little Stranger into the festival circuit spotlight. It's a nostalgic trip peppered with laughs, childhood memories, and the undeniable impact of festivals like Bonnaroo and PeachFest on our musical souls.

With Little Stranger's unique blend of humor and musical prowess, this conversation is a backstage pass to the rollercoaster ride of life as touring musicians.

(0:00:04) - Festival Music Production and Influence (11 Minutes)
This chapter kicks off with a freestyle introduction and quickly transitions into a chat with Little Stranger, where we riff on the idea of making their band name stand out with an expletive for emphasis, akin to a rock band tradition. We share a laugh over the inclusion of a Jeff Goldblum reference in one of their songs, inspired by his unforgettable performance in "The Fly," and toy with the notion of bringing his character on stage during a tour. Recollections of childhood memories tie in with our first encounters with marijuana, segueing into a nostalgic trip about festivals like Bonnaroo and Peach Fest. I reveal how festival experiences have shaped us, from sober spectating to the more wild sides of these events, and we celebrate the musical journey that has recently brought Little Stranger into the festival scene.
(0:10:50) - Wild Festival Stories and Hangover Shows (10 Minutes)
This chapter kicks off with a wild trip down memory lane to a heavy metal festival where a free-for-all stampede to the stage was the norm, and a mix of substances led to a surreal concert experience. We recount the highs of the night, including an iconic moment from Van Halen's frontman David Lee Roth, and the challenges of coming down from an LSD trip. The conversation shifts to recent performances, the unique experience of navigating Miami's hectic airport, and the art of dealing with hecklers. Celebrating birthdays on the road, forming deep bonds with fellow touring bands, and the unexpected brilliance of hangover shows also make their way into our lively discussion.
(0:20:47) - Practical Jokes and Rocking Performances (1 Minutes)
This chapter features a lighthearted wrap-up with a tease of potentially sharing Andy Frasco's phone number as part of an ongoing roast battle, though it's quickly made clear that it's all in jest and the number won't be shared. We touch on the playful dynamics of practical jokes within our circle and express anticipation for a great show at Sunfest. As the episode comes to a close, I express gratitude for the guests' participation and thank the audience for tuning in to the Adventures of Pipeman on W4CY radio.

Saw your face and the thought of
Nubia got no gibb. But I'm here

00:00:38.759 --> 00:00:42.600

because I've gotten a mulah jas. You
7
00:00:42.719 --> 00:00:46.320
best believe that I'm there to stay
and the bad boy. But it came
8
00:00:46.399 --> 00:00:49.920
back just to say say what got
some butterflies in my gut? I got
9
00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:52.439
half a mind to go crazy.
I got half a mind to go nuh
10
00:00:52.560 --> 00:00:56.880
uh. This is the pipe Man
here on the Adventures pipe Man W four
11
00:00:56.920 --> 00:01:02.320
c Y Radio. And I'm here
with us, little stranger. That's why
12
00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:04.480
I always have the band do it
because you do it way cooler than I
13
00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:07.719
do. How would you have done
it? How would you have done it?
14
00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:11.439
Though? I would have been like
a little fucking stranger that's way cooler
15
00:01:11.480 --> 00:01:17.560
than ours. It could be like
you could be like the new slayer of
16
00:01:17.599 --> 00:01:22.040
your genre. Like everybody has to
say fucking before saying your band name.
17
00:01:22.280 --> 00:01:26.599
You are a fucking little stranger,
right, Fox up, we gotta get
18
00:01:26.599 --> 00:01:30.920
a logo that's like, uh like
the lightning bolt. Uh yeah, I
19
00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:34.239
can't really read it that well.
Right, it's like the back of an
20
00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:38.599
old leather chair. Nice. I
love it. Oh man, you know
21
00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:42.319
what else I love too. I
was listening to one of your songs on
22
00:01:42.359 --> 00:01:49.000
the way here today and I wasn't
even really paying attention, but the lyric
23
00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:53.519
jumped right out at me. I'm
like, fuck, I need that for
24
00:01:53.599 --> 00:01:57.760
the interview. Make sure to remember
the Fly. I love that fricking movie
25
00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:05.159
and where you say Jeff Goldbloom and
the in the lyrics. Oh yeah,
26
00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:08.159
I mean that was epic. I
think I saw that movie way too young,
27
00:02:08.439 --> 00:02:12.080
like my dad had it on or
something, And I mean, Jeff
28
00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:15.560
Goldbloom is maybe the most charismatic man
of all time, but in that movie
29
00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:19.319
it is terrifying. Oh yeah,
just him pulling off like his fingernails and
30
00:02:19.319 --> 00:02:23.520
stuff. Oh yeah, totally.
I heard. There's I don't know how
31
00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:28.560
factual this is, but there's like
a like a real thing that if Jeff
32
00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:32.000
Goldbloom is on the screen, you
can't not look at him like in any
33
00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:38.280
movie. I think that's probably true. I think that's probably true. That's
34
00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:44.240
wild, you know, and you
should have like some during one of your
35
00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:47.960
set to a live show, like
bring like a life size version of him
36
00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:54.000
as to fly like like like as
your mascot on stage. We got a
37
00:02:54.039 --> 00:02:58.240
tour in the fall, maybe we'll
fly theme it. There you go,
38
00:02:58.719 --> 00:03:00.840
We'll try to get him out.
He's he does jazz now though, smell
39
00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:08.439
you still got Jeff's number? Oh
man? And you know it's funny you
40
00:03:08.439 --> 00:03:13.719
said about being a kid. I
remember so much in my head. I
41
00:03:13.879 --> 00:03:17.800
was watching a movie in my bedroom
and I fell asleep and my son.
42
00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:22.719
I woke up and my son was
sitting here like I don't know how old,
43
00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:25.719
he was nine and he was sitting
on the floor watching it and it
44
00:03:25.919 --> 00:03:30.919
was Cheech and Chohn's up and smoke. I'm like, fuck, I can't
45
00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:35.560
believe. I'm like, oh,
now I have to have to talk with
46
00:03:35.639 --> 00:03:40.520
him. Yeah. Oh. Remember
the first time I smelled marijuana, specifically,
47
00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:45.400
I was at a Dave Matthews concert
with uh my parents took like me
48
00:03:45.479 --> 00:03:49.159
and my siblings, I must.
It was at the Tweeter Center in Camden,
49
00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:53.159
New Jersey. Nice. I remember
like smelling. I was like what
50
00:03:53.319 --> 00:03:58.199
is that newscent because I must have
been like eleven, is that where you're
51
00:03:58.199 --> 00:04:01.120
from Jersey? We're from outside Philly. Oh yeah, well I thought so,
52
00:04:01.319 --> 00:04:04.439
and then you said Jersey something.
But Camden, prey, I'm a
53
00:04:04.520 --> 00:04:10.120
Jersey boy. So cam then pretty
much game Philly to us. To Jersey
54
00:04:10.199 --> 00:04:13.240
people, that's Philly. Yeah.
Yeah, Like Cherry Hill is kind of
55
00:04:13.479 --> 00:04:16.240
people like to say to me,
Okay, they're from South Jersey. I'm
56
00:04:16.279 --> 00:04:18.800
like where and they say, Cherry
Hill, that's not South Jersey, that's
57
00:04:18.839 --> 00:04:23.319
Philly. Yeah. Yeah. And
we would always go to the Tweeter Center.
58
00:04:23.319 --> 00:04:25.560
Well it was the Tweeter Center.
Now I don't even know what it
59
00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:29.199
is. It might even changed.
It's scary now. I did a festival
60
00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:33.000
a few years back there. It
was it was kind of scary because of
61
00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:43.680
Camden. Yeah yeah. Oh man. So I also dig your newest song,
62
00:04:44.079 --> 00:04:47.439
or at least I think it's the
newest talking about festivals because that that
63
00:04:47.560 --> 00:04:51.120
hit home for me. So talk
about that. Yeah you were you were
64
00:04:51.160 --> 00:04:56.040
telling me you go like UK and
around the world seeing festivals and stuff.
65
00:04:56.360 --> 00:04:59.480
We uh, we've been lucky recently. I think the last couple years we've
66
00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:02.319
been hitting them hard. Nice but
also like i'd like I went to Bonneru
67
00:05:02.360 --> 00:05:06.680
in two thousand and nine, twenty
twelve, I got to see Fish Bruce
68
00:05:06.680 --> 00:05:13.120
Springsteen the Last Beastie Boys Live Show. Wow, some really incredible ones.
69
00:05:13.160 --> 00:05:15.480
And I was also a really good
boy and sober when I was watching those
70
00:05:16.000 --> 00:05:18.680
and then it all went out.
Then he met me. Yeah, that's
71
00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:24.680
what happen. That's what happened.
See, it's it's the it's the duet,
72
00:05:24.959 --> 00:05:29.199
bad influence in the festival. Bad
influence. Yeah, but it's the
73
00:05:29.279 --> 00:05:32.279
Yin and yang that's such a such
a good thing, the festival thing.
74
00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:36.240
And uh we well, and we
made that song with Andy Frasco, who
75
00:05:36.279 --> 00:05:42.519
is like, uh, I mean
at peach Fest in PA. Yeah,
76
00:05:42.560 --> 00:05:46.639
he was like dubbed the Prince of
peach Fest because he's like a regular every
77
00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:49.360
year. Nice. We're kind of
newerre in tapping into all these festivals.
78
00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:53.959
For the last few years, we've
been touring so much that we like couldn't
79
00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:57.800
go to festivals we wanted to because
we're on tour. So it's a good
80
00:05:57.800 --> 00:06:00.920
problem to have. But now we're
able to do the once because we're getting
81
00:06:00.959 --> 00:06:03.680
invited and getting paid to come to
these festivals. It's amazing. There you
82
00:06:03.720 --> 00:06:08.800
go. But with Frasco, he's
such like a festival like Staple, and
83
00:06:08.879 --> 00:06:12.639
so he came up with the idea
he wanted to make an upbeat gospel kind
84
00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:16.480
of song nice and it is a
badass song. Thanks man, Thanks and
85
00:06:16.519 --> 00:06:20.759
we banged it out in like four
hours probably he came over to our home
86
00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:25.319
studio. Wow, yeah, it
was good. It was on. You
87
00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:29.399
guys are pros man because thanks man. Four hours. That's that's that's a
88
00:06:29.480 --> 00:06:34.079
feat. John Johna did not take
time off during the quarantine, became producer
89
00:06:34.199 --> 00:06:39.480
of the Millennium or something. He
just like he learned how to work quickly
90
00:06:39.519 --> 00:06:43.720
and get things done that like in
a way that you can hear a version
91
00:06:43.720 --> 00:06:47.439
of the song that's pleasing very quickly, and then then he'll tinker for hours
92
00:06:47.439 --> 00:06:50.079
and hours and hours and we won't
see him, and then he'll show up
93
00:06:50.079 --> 00:06:54.439
out of his hole at eight am
or something. Typically how it goes like,
94
00:06:55.040 --> 00:06:58.199
well, I because that was a
big thing. I think with Kevin
95
00:06:58.240 --> 00:07:03.360
and I the music we make.
Being able to hear something that kind of
96
00:07:03.439 --> 00:07:09.639
knocks pretty quickly inspires us to write
rather than just hearing a guitar. So
97
00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:14.120
if we could get bass and drums
going quickly and make that beat really slap.
98
00:07:14.240 --> 00:07:16.240
Then then we're both up in the
studio and like, oh shit,
99
00:07:16.639 --> 00:07:19.839
nice now you who are knocking our
head And that's it. So that was
100
00:07:19.879 --> 00:07:24.639
a big thing for getting better at
production. But yeah, then I'll stay.
101
00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:28.439
Then I'll have like an all nighter
and either wake up and the song
102
00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:32.800
is way better or I fucked it
all up. I'm like, that's that's
103
00:07:32.839 --> 00:07:38.399
a true artist though. Like my
dad was a painter and he would get
104
00:07:38.519 --> 00:07:44.279
stoned and paint for like three days
with no sleep, and the paintings were
105
00:07:44.920 --> 00:07:48.800
none of them were ever finished.
Like one day he would just wake up
106
00:07:48.920 --> 00:07:54.560
and change it completely. Oh yeah, that's well, that's like one of
107
00:07:54.600 --> 00:07:57.680
the hardest parts is like telling yourself
you're done. You have to you have
108
00:07:57.720 --> 00:07:59.720
to let it go, you have
to just kind of be done. And
109
00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:03.040
you know, we just went through
that whole process. We just submitted our
110
00:08:03.079 --> 00:08:07.959
new album on two days ago,
and a lot of the last two weeks
111
00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:11.879
was us just making final calls because, like you said, you could just
112
00:08:11.959 --> 00:08:16.360
keep going and tinker and even after
the album's out, you're like, fuck
113
00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:20.720
yes things that you think. But
there's such a relief in just being like,
114
00:08:20.519 --> 00:08:24.319
this is what it is, and
then you send it and it's like,
115
00:08:24.439 --> 00:08:28.000
oh there's such a like weight lifted. Just accept it as it is.
116
00:08:28.360 --> 00:08:33.519
That's why I don't edit my own
interviews because same thing perfectionists. So
117
00:08:33.559 --> 00:08:35.879
I have my engineer edit it.
If I edit it, a fifteen man
118
00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:41.080
interview will take me like five months
to edit, cutting out every oam and
119
00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:46.039
what and burp. I haven't burped
yet. I don't know if I have
120
00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:48.679
on it. I'm gonna. I'm
gonna sneak one in at some point.
121
00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:54.399
Yeah, there you go soon.
Oh yeah, I was doing I was
122
00:08:54.440 --> 00:08:58.519
doing all the goofs I used to
at a recess, get like tasty cakes,
123
00:08:58.600 --> 00:09:00.799
chew them up in my mouth,
put milk in my mouth, and
124
00:09:00.840 --> 00:09:03.799
then fake vomit in front of all
my friends. And at least you eating
125
00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:09.679
tide pods. That's true, that's
true. That was after our child.
126
00:09:11.320 --> 00:09:16.240
Yeah, somewhat seeing children, I
think, right. Yeah, my goops
127
00:09:16.279 --> 00:09:22.480
were thought out and uh, there
was no toxic materials involved. Oh yeah,
128
00:09:22.759 --> 00:09:24.720
I had all those down. Yeah, that was a thing I couldn't
129
00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:30.039
do. The I couldn't do the
clover tongue thing. Yeah, no,
130
00:09:30.279 --> 00:09:33.360
you guys can't see this right now
he's doing it. He's doing the clover
131
00:09:33.480 --> 00:09:37.080
tongue thing. All the females out
there, Oh my god. Now he's
132
00:09:37.080 --> 00:09:39.399
grabbing my he's grabbing my head,
he's licking me, he's grabbing my wiener,
133
00:09:41.720 --> 00:09:45.240
just like it should be a festival. Yep. Honestly, yeah,
134
00:09:45.399 --> 00:09:48.440
I like I love the idea of, uh we we want to start asking
135
00:09:48.440 --> 00:09:52.320
fans like what's there finding God at
a festival moment and stuff like, you
136
00:09:52.360 --> 00:09:56.360
know, we all have all these
weird ones. I remember a very small
137
00:09:56.440 --> 00:09:58.159
festival in upstate New York, and
somehow at the end of the night,
138
00:09:58.159 --> 00:10:03.279
I'm getting like like walked around like
holding my hand a like six foot five,
139
00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:09.039
you know, Amazonian woman just walking
me back and going to where I
140
00:10:09.039 --> 00:10:11.879
thought my campsite wasn't hearing voices that
were not my friends, and I was
141
00:10:11.919 --> 00:10:13.080
like, this is wrong, this
is all wrong, and she's like it's
142
00:10:13.120 --> 00:10:16.120
okay, we're gonna take you back
here. You know, like for a
143
00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:18.720
minute, that was God and helped
me help me get home safe. You
144
00:10:18.759 --> 00:10:22.519
carry you on her back. She
could have I would have done anything at
145
00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:26.919
that point. Well, God spoke
to me at a festival whoa. It
146
00:10:26.960 --> 00:10:31.200
was nineteen eighty three, the US
festival Great Year, okay, And so
147
00:10:31.279 --> 00:10:35.279
I remember telling my dad, I'm
like, I'm going to a festival.
148
00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:39.519
I'll see you on Monday. And
my dad was like, I was the
149
00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:43.159
one in charge, okay. So
he's like, okay. He had no
150
00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:46.000
clue what was going on. He
wanted to party himself. So it's like,
151
00:10:46.039 --> 00:10:48.960
oh, good, you're gone,
I can go party. See you
152
00:10:48.039 --> 00:10:52.639
later. And I went with three
of my friends, drove there, you
153
00:10:52.679 --> 00:10:56.679
know, hung out all night and
partied on my car. And then in
154
00:10:56.720 --> 00:11:01.159
the morning when they let and was
Metal Date or three hundred thousand people.
155
00:11:01.720 --> 00:11:05.360
And imagine this if you will.
This wouldn't happen today because people would get
156
00:11:05.480 --> 00:11:11.679
killed. But basically they had the
gate and everybody was a running free for
157
00:11:11.799 --> 00:11:16.399
all stampede when they opened the gate, like nowadays that doesn't work out too
158
00:11:16.399 --> 00:11:20.919
well at festivals. But then it's
like everybody was running those stage. Nobody
159
00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:24.840
got hurt, but it did look
like a herd of animals stampeding, you
160
00:11:24.879 --> 00:11:28.759
know, and you just you just
gotta keep going. If you slow down,
161
00:11:28.759 --> 00:11:31.960
you're gonna get stampeded. Just keep
going, proper herd mentality exactly.
162
00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:37.639
So I don't know I did.
I put so much shit in my system
163
00:11:37.679 --> 00:11:41.960
in that twenty four hours that by
listen listed what was it? Pot?
164
00:11:41.159 --> 00:11:48.960
Alcohol, multiple alcohols, mushrooms,
LSD. Oh, yeah, you're getting
165
00:11:50.039 --> 00:11:54.360
in there. Probably coke. I
don't know, it was probably That's how
166
00:11:54.399 --> 00:11:56.440
you know it was a good time, right, Like, once you go
167
00:11:56.519 --> 00:12:00.639
to the LSD, nothing else matters. It's like it just it just like
168
00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:03.200
eliminates everything else. If you want
to come down from coke, take LSD.
169
00:12:03.480 --> 00:12:07.039
If you want to come down from
pot, take LSD. If you
170
00:12:07.080 --> 00:12:11.080
want to come down from LSD,
drink alcohol. Yeah, well but it's
171
00:12:11.399 --> 00:12:16.200
hard, Like alcohol doesn't really affect
you. Hi on LSD. That's what
172
00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:20.279
I'm saying. No matter what else
do you take, it doesn't affect It
173
00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:24.960
doesn't affect you. So I'm like
aggressively, like on an LSD night at
174
00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:28.519
a show or something, just trying. I just want to sleep so bad,
175
00:12:28.559 --> 00:12:31.600
and you know sleep doesn't really exist
for a while, right, I'm
176
00:12:31.639 --> 00:12:35.600
like that fucking dangerously drinking a bottle
to just be like, please shut my
177
00:12:35.639 --> 00:12:41.039
brain down. I know, right, exactly exactly. Yeah. So the
178
00:12:41.080 --> 00:12:46.360
headliner for that day was Vanhillen with
David Lee Roth, and I remember there
179
00:12:46.399 --> 00:12:48.320
were three hundred thousand people there.
I was up close to the stage,
180
00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:52.840
but I was sitting down on the
ground at that point, and I thought
181
00:12:52.879 --> 00:12:56.039
that I was at my bros House
at a house party, and they were
182
00:12:56.039 --> 00:13:03.960
playing Vanhillen on the stereo. Oh
Man, and then ain't talking about love
183
00:13:05.080 --> 00:13:09.960
codes on and he's not singing it, and Eddie's looking over him, Mike
184
00:13:09.000 --> 00:13:13.879
An He's looking and David Lee Roth, greatest frontman every just goes, I
185
00:13:15.159 --> 00:13:20.000
fucking forgot the words and three hundred
thousand people cheered like it was the best
186
00:13:20.039 --> 00:13:22.240
thing that ever happened, you know. And Eddie was probably chewing him out
187
00:13:22.240 --> 00:13:26.240
afterwards or something, but it was. And then somebody heckled him in the
188
00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:31.200
crowd and he stopped dead stop point
on him, and he goes, I
189
00:13:31.279 --> 00:13:37.759
will fuck your girlfriend. Let's get
right. If you canna handle a heckler,
190
00:13:37.799 --> 00:13:41.360
that's the way to do it.
And if you're David Lee Roth,
191
00:13:41.480 --> 00:13:45.440
she probably is gonna fuck. Yeah. Sunfast gets out of control today,
192
00:13:45.519 --> 00:13:48.279
keV knows what to say. Yeah, there you go. I mean,
193
00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:50.320
like, I think we don't have
enough makeup or hair at this point.
194
00:13:52.840 --> 00:13:54.720
You don't think it would work for
you. Well, we still have an
195
00:13:54.720 --> 00:13:56.960
hour and a half till we play. I think it will work. Listen,
196
00:13:58.120 --> 00:14:01.000
I live here. Okay, it'll
work. Yeah, Okay, I
197
00:14:01.080 --> 00:14:05.559
appreciate your vote of confidence. I
am of all ugly, motherfucker of all
198
00:14:05.679 --> 00:14:09.279
the places in the world. If
it would work anywhere, it's here,
199
00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:11.720
West Palm, West Palm Beach.
Art is crazy, man, Yeah,
200
00:14:11.799 --> 00:14:15.320
a little bit. We've been.
This is our second weekend in a row.
201
00:14:15.360 --> 00:14:18.000
We came down and played a private
event last week and flew into Miami
202
00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:24.720
and like, just the the Miami
Airport getting to the Mental Car place is
203
00:14:24.759 --> 00:14:28.480
like a six mile journey and we
had all our gear. You're lucky you
204
00:14:28.519 --> 00:14:31.559
weren't driving, because like, if
I have to drive to Miami Airport,
205
00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:35.720
once you get within ten mant to
Miami Airport, it's another two hours.
206
00:14:35.840 --> 00:14:39.679
Yeah. Just sat. Yeah,
we kind of we It felt like a
207
00:14:39.759 --> 00:14:41.679
deja vu. We're like, how
do we just get back here right now?
208
00:14:41.679 --> 00:14:45.279
Because this week was a blur,
right, and then all of a
209
00:14:45.279 --> 00:14:50.200
sudden, we're back in Miami,
still pale as ever, trying to get
210
00:14:50.240 --> 00:14:52.480
I don't know, maybe we'll get
some sun today. It's SunFest. Oh,
211
00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:54.600
You're definitely gonna get some sun at
SunFest for sure. The shade looks
212
00:14:54.639 --> 00:14:58.559
nice. You're gonna be like stage
with Shady, which is great. Yeah,
213
00:14:58.600 --> 00:15:01.240
you're gonna be fucked me when you're
up the Hey, Dan, I'm
214
00:15:01.240 --> 00:15:03.960
sorry, are we putting you to
sleep over there? Wow? Wow,
215
00:15:05.200 --> 00:15:11.399

216
00:15:11.440 --> 00:15:16.200
going, that's the new song coming
out. Dan turned thirty and it wrecked
217
00:15:16.200 --> 00:15:20.799
his life. It was Dan's birthday
last night. He turned thirty. Nice
218
00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:26.559
and uh, we don't look a
day over forty. That means it's a
219
00:15:26.600 --> 00:15:30.240
good night. Yeah. We Uh. We met up with Andy Frasco and
220
00:15:30.279 --> 00:15:33.320
the un his band, and so
they're like, truly, we've toured with
221
00:15:33.360 --> 00:15:35.919
a ton of bands, and we
get along really great with all the bands
222
00:15:35.919 --> 00:15:39.639
we've toured with. It's important to
us to hang. You know, you're
223
00:15:39.639 --> 00:15:43.279
hanging for six weeks on the road, and we did like an eight week
224
00:15:43.320 --> 00:15:46.840
tour with those guys two years ago, two and a half years ago now
225
00:15:48.240 --> 00:15:52.840
and like instant best beyond best friends. We love him so nice And so
226
00:15:54.039 --> 00:15:56.840
they were playing in Miami last night, so we flew down a day early.
227
00:15:56.320 --> 00:16:03.440
Celebrated Dan's birthday were it might have
racked us a little bit for today,
228
00:16:03.080 --> 00:16:06.559
but once you get on that stage, you're like in the zone.
229
00:16:06.799 --> 00:16:11.559
Oh. Our best shows are the
hangover shows because there's nothing here. You're
230
00:16:11.559 --> 00:16:14.519
in the flow state. You're just
ripping. Yeah, there you go.
231
00:16:14.600 --> 00:16:17.000
Yeah, we've been in wear shape. We'll be fine. Today's gonna rap
232
00:16:17.320 --> 00:16:22.360
nice. So what's your what's your
guy's best festival story? Oh, Man,
233
00:16:26.600 --> 00:16:33.720
Summer Camp I had a pretty good
one, keV, you go first,
234
00:16:33.759 --> 00:16:36.759
because I have to think about this
because I know I have like three
235
00:16:36.840 --> 00:16:40.159
solid ones. Yeah, We've We've
we got some ridiculous ones. I mean,
236
00:16:40.240 --> 00:16:42.320
Summer Camp was maybe one of the
first bigger festivals we got to play,
237
00:16:44.039 --> 00:16:48.240
uh and uh. We were very
excited to be there and had a
238
00:16:48.279 --> 00:16:52.759
golf cart given to us by the
festival. And I'm not gonna I'm not
239
00:16:52.759 --> 00:16:56.440
gonna shout out any team members right
now, but me and John kind of
240
00:16:56.440 --> 00:17:00.000
got thrown off of a golf cart
at one point. And there's always a
241
00:17:00.039 --> 00:17:04.440
golf course story a festival. And
I'm feeling loose enough that I'm like,
242
00:17:04.559 --> 00:17:07.119
I don't need to throw my hands
out to catch myself at all. Use
243
00:17:07.160 --> 00:17:12.680
my face and I slid across the
ground, had some nice like just full
244
00:17:12.799 --> 00:17:18.039
far ahead side of my face cuts
and everything. And then the next day
245
00:17:18.079 --> 00:17:22.279
we filled in for our friend's band
that couldn't make it. And on the
246
00:17:22.279 --> 00:17:26.400
way was it on the way it
was on the way back or on the
247
00:17:26.680 --> 00:17:32.480
Yeah, I you know, hurting
in my face, hurting in my brain,
248
00:17:33.000 --> 00:17:36.960
tried to merge onto the highway and
just rubbed the van up against the
249
00:17:37.039 --> 00:17:41.319
guard rail and a window exploded next
to us. And right, so we
250
00:17:41.400 --> 00:17:45.799
roll into this festival the next day. Our buddies Tropadelic, they couldn't make
251
00:17:45.839 --> 00:17:48.640
it. You said, worst story, right, Yeah, those are our
252
00:17:48.640 --> 00:17:52.640
worst festival story. They couldn't make
it. And we had we were done.
253
00:17:52.680 --> 00:17:55.920
We had played our two sets,
so we like we went. We
254
00:17:55.960 --> 00:17:59.759
sent it the night before. Obviously
the golf car flipped and we're like rookies
255
00:17:59.799 --> 00:18:03.000
for time at this festival. We're
trying to impress everyone. You impressed them,
256
00:18:03.000 --> 00:18:07.319
all right, yeah? Right,
So Kev's like got a bloody face
257
00:18:07.920 --> 00:18:11.720
and you know, he rubbed up
against the guard rails. Our window was
258
00:18:11.759 --> 00:18:14.240
smashed out and our door was all
bent up. And then we came and
259
00:18:14.240 --> 00:18:18.839
filled in for our Buddies Tropadelic the
next day, not knowing until like eleven
260
00:18:18.880 --> 00:18:22.039
am that we had to do that
set. So we roll into the fest
261
00:18:22.119 --> 00:18:23.680
Also, I just kept saying,
no, no, I'm not doing this.
262
00:18:23.759 --> 00:18:26.839
I'm not doing this, like get
your house out of bed, we're
263
