12
00:01:04.719 --> 00:01:06.920
Nice here at Lower than Life. This is going to

13
00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:08.959
be too much of a habit, I think it is.

14
00:01:09.120 --> 00:01:11.680
This is the second time I've played, third time I've

15
00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:14.159
been here nice, which is fun.

16
00:01:14.359 --> 00:01:16.760
Hey, so let me you were looking at this as

17
00:01:16.799 --> 00:01:19.560
an audio producer, Yeah, what do you think of this shit?

18
00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:19.840
Man?

19
00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:21.840
That's sick. It's like, I mean, so, I've heard of

20
00:01:21.879 --> 00:01:24.239
taskcams before. I've actually used a task can but it

21
00:01:24.319 --> 00:01:26.879
was for like ir responses. So you can basically go

22
00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:29.599
into a So you could go into like an old church, right,

23
00:01:29.599 --> 00:01:31.359
and you could do like you could drop something and

24
00:01:31.400 --> 00:01:34.040
you could take that ir response of the reverb and

25
00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:36.560
then go and use that reverb in that specific church

26
00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:38.920
in a song like on a sample so on, like

27
00:01:38.959 --> 00:01:40.040
a snare hit or something like that.

28
00:01:40.200 --> 00:01:42.480
So I've used these before. That's pretty cool, not this

29
00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:43.200
exact model.

30
00:01:43.319 --> 00:01:47.799
So this one, Okay, it's gonna blow your mind. First

31
00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:51.799
of all, it does everything. I've a Roadcaster Pro two

32
00:01:52.239 --> 00:01:56.000
in the studio. This can do everything that can do. Like,

33
00:01:56.439 --> 00:01:59.920
it has an equalizer, It has a mixer, normalizer, gay

34
00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:04.920
really everything. Here's the best part. Now as we're talking,

35
00:02:04.959 --> 00:02:08.319
because I'm loud, it's clipping the whole time. You see

36
00:02:08.319 --> 00:02:09.000
it going red.

37
00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:09.439
Yeah.

38
00:02:10.199 --> 00:02:12.919
First time I use this, I shit my pants because

39
00:02:12.919 --> 00:02:15.719
I was seeing that, and then I was listening afterwards

40
00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:20.719
to the individuals. I'm like, fuck, it's all distorted, was it?

41
00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:25.759
This thing does a mix and no matter how hot

42
00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:28.479
I am, how hot you are, it mixes it down

43
00:02:28.599 --> 00:02:30.840
to perfect. Wow. Like I don't even have to have

44
00:02:30.919 --> 00:02:33.919
it set right, huh. It's it's just it's the most

45
00:02:33.960 --> 00:02:37.439
amazing thing ever. Because I'm clipping right now as I'm talking, yeah,

46
00:02:37.520 --> 00:02:38.400
and it won't show up.

47
00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:38.719
I just know.

48
00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:40.159
I looked at it to make sure that my mic

49
00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:41.639
was loud enough, and I was like, all right, cool,

50
00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:42.199
I'm chilling.

51
00:02:42.479 --> 00:02:42.639
Yeah.

52
00:02:42.719 --> 00:02:45.800
See there you go, fucking planes going over fucking rock

53
00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:48.039
and roll in the background, lots of noise.

54
00:02:48.159 --> 00:02:50.639
It's great interview with all that you got all the

55
00:02:50.719 --> 00:02:53.879
background noise. So as it feel to be back at

56
00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:54.439
Louder than.

57
00:02:54.439 --> 00:02:57.599
Life, dude, kind of get that ant off the thing.

58
00:02:59.319 --> 00:03:02.919
I'm in a great fucking mood. I love this set today.

59
00:03:03.759 --> 00:03:06.439
I don't think could have gone any better. I've played

60
00:03:06.479 --> 00:03:09.039
all of the Wimmer festivals, I've done this a couple

61
00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:12.840
of years now, and today was the loudest I've ever

62
00:03:12.960 --> 00:03:17.719
heard the crowd from a like knowing the lyrics perspective,

63
00:03:17.960 --> 00:03:19.879
which is very different for a festival because obviously you're

64
00:03:19.879 --> 00:03:21.879
getting a smorgas board of people that a lot of

65
00:03:21.919 --> 00:03:23.719
people don't know you, a lot of people don't know

66
00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:27.560
any of your lyrics anything like that, and that's typically

67
00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:30.360
what I've experienced, Like we've garnered big crowds before.

68
00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:33.919
But the difference today. I remember hearing like a lyric.

69
00:03:33.759 --> 00:03:35.479
That the crowd said, and I was like, yo, let

70
00:03:35.520 --> 00:03:37.319
me hear you, and the whole fucking crowd from front

71
00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:39.400
to backs hit me back with the same lyrics and

72
00:03:39.439 --> 00:03:41.960
I was like, oh, hold on, y'all are actually here

73
00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:44.159
because you wanted to see me. This is not like, oh,

74
00:03:44.240 --> 00:03:46.400
let's discover a new artist type of situation. This is

75
00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:49.560
We've played here before. I've headlined here, I've done support

76
00:03:49.800 --> 00:03:51.599
like I've done support with Eicenine Kills here.

77
00:03:51.919 --> 00:03:52.120
Yeah.

78
00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:53.719
I love Louisville, and.

79
00:03:53.800 --> 00:03:57.199
So having all those people show up, having all those

80
00:03:57.199 --> 00:04:00.560
people show up and be excited, it's a really good

81
00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:02.919
feeling and it makes me. It makes me feel great

82
00:04:02.919 --> 00:04:05.599
because it was just it wasn't the biggest festival audience

83
00:04:05.639 --> 00:04:08.759
we played for, but definitely the loudest and most interactive.

84
00:04:08.520 --> 00:04:11.280
See and I would think too as an artist, man,

85
00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:13.840
this is the best thing that could ever happen. When

86
00:04:13.919 --> 00:04:16.680
the whole crowd's yelling back your lyrics at you, it's like,

87
00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:18.800
holy shit, had.

88
00:04:18.639 --> 00:04:20.480
That Well, That's why a lot of artists love their

89
00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:23.240
like doing headlines, like I love headlining typically.

90
00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:25.959
Because you to your room. Dude, it's your people, it's

91
00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:27.040
your room, your experience.

92
00:04:27.600 --> 00:04:30.399
It was really cool to have that almost on a

93
00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:33.600
festival stage and it's like a few thousand people that

94
00:04:33.639 --> 00:04:35.879
are all stoked, and I did the whole hey who

95
00:04:35.959 --> 00:04:38.879
sort of, Mike said before three fourths of the crowd's

96
00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:40.079
hands went up and I was like shit, and I

97
00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:40.839
was like, who's new here?

98
00:04:40.839 --> 00:04:42.519
And still got some hands. I was like, all right,

99
00:04:42.519 --> 00:04:44.000
well welcome. So it was dope.

100
00:04:44.040 --> 00:04:44.160
It was.

101
00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:45.240
It was a great good time.

102
00:04:45.399 --> 00:04:48.480
That's wild. I love it. And so what you got

103
00:04:48.519 --> 00:04:50.160
going on after Louder than Life?

104
00:04:50.199 --> 00:04:52.040
We've got Aftershock in two weeks. I don't know if

105
00:04:52.079 --> 00:04:54.000
I'll see you there. I will see you there, all right, Yeah,

106
00:04:54.040 --> 00:04:57.480
we'll be there. And then we've got a full tour

107
00:04:57.600 --> 00:05:00.279
within this moment in the fall November. Yeah, we went

108
00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:02.360
out with them in May and we're now doing part

109
00:05:02.399 --> 00:05:05.519
two of the headline. So we've got on the twenty

110
00:05:05.720 --> 00:05:09.519
ish twenty ish shows and then I'm routing a few headlines.

111
00:05:09.079 --> 00:05:10.759
Through that that are going to get announced next week.

112
00:05:11.480 --> 00:05:11.879
Very cool.

113
00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:14.120
It's like three shows, just three extra ones because we

114
00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:14.920
had some extra dates.

115
00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:18.160
So how do people find out about those announcements?

116
00:05:18.279 --> 00:05:21.079
Let's tell whatever you use social media, it's it's all

117
00:05:21.160 --> 00:05:22.600
in the same place, you know what I mean. Or

118
00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:24.480
if you're on Facebook, if you're on Instagram, whatever the

119
00:05:24.519 --> 00:05:27.199
fuck it's Mike's dead on everything, and then join the

120
00:05:27.240 --> 00:05:29.240
email blast and stay up to date. I guess I

121
00:05:29.279 --> 00:05:32.720
don't fuck you know. There's so much noise nowadays, just everywhere.

122
00:05:32.839 --> 00:05:36.040
How about buy your merch because that's the most important part.

123
00:05:36.360 --> 00:05:38.879
Yeah, that's honestly, what's a lot of people don't realize

124
00:05:38.920 --> 00:05:40.720
that's the most helpful thing you can do for any

125
00:05:40.839 --> 00:05:44.160
artists because a lot of us are signed to labels.

126
00:05:44.560 --> 00:05:47.040
Yeah, and we don't make shit from our music.

127
00:05:47.399 --> 00:05:49.199
Like Spotify, I don't pay his shit.

128
00:05:49.279 --> 00:05:51.839
Spotify pays nothing, and labels don't pay a lot either,

129
00:05:52.160 --> 00:05:55.079
So it's like we don't generate income from our actual

130
00:05:55.199 --> 00:05:55.720
music music.

131
00:05:55.759 --> 00:05:57.680
It's all mainly tickets and t shirts.

132
00:05:57.959 --> 00:06:00.680
Well, it blows my mind too, because I'm a legit

133
00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:03.959
radio station. It's license and pays royalties, and I wonder

134
00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:07.680
why the royalties I'm paying doesn't get to the artists typically.

135
00:06:07.839 --> 00:06:09.360
I don't know, dude, I think the industry is really

136
00:06:09.399 --> 00:06:11.399
fucked up, and I've talked about this very openly.

137
00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:12.680
I think that I don't know.

138
00:06:12.759 --> 00:06:15.040
It's just it's been ran the same way for so

139
00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:17.279
long that in order to make a dent, you would

140
00:06:17.319 --> 00:06:19.639
have to have the largest artists in the industry like

141
00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:22.920
Adele and Taylor Swift to suddenly be like, you know what,

142
00:06:23.160 --> 00:06:26.480
fuck this yeah, and put their foot down and cause

143
00:06:26.519 --> 00:06:28.959
a problem. Problem is they're already making so much money.

144
00:06:28.959 --> 00:06:31.319
Taylor supposed a fucking billionaire, dude. She doesn't give a shit,

145
00:06:31.519 --> 00:06:32.800
right at the end of the day, She's not gonna

146
00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:34.399
sit there and like, oh hey, let me just topple

147
00:06:34.480 --> 00:06:36.120
my empire over Pride.

148
00:06:36.240 --> 00:06:37.120
I guess right.

149
00:06:37.240 --> 00:06:39.480
I know she does a lot for like songwriters, like

150
00:06:39.560 --> 00:06:41.800
looking out for songwriters getting an equal cut and everything.

151
00:06:42.040 --> 00:06:45.199
That's cool, but it's not like you see Drake going

152
00:06:45.240 --> 00:06:47.079
online being like, you know, what fuck does industry man?

153
00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:50.199
I know Snoop Dogg did like the whole thing of like, hey,

154
00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:53.639
he did his math of like all the streams he had,

155
00:06:53.720 --> 00:06:55.759
and he's like, and I've made how much from that?

156
00:06:56.600 --> 00:06:58.680
He's like, I mean that little from that many streams.

157
00:06:58.759 --> 00:07:00.519
I think it just needs to be a conversetion more.

158
00:07:00.680 --> 00:07:01.920
But at the end of the day, a lot of

159
00:07:01.920 --> 00:07:03.680
the labels own the whole business.

160
00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:06.680
Here's the other problem. I notice the other day artists

161
00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:11.160
that I know that got off of Spotify for principle

162
00:07:11.639 --> 00:07:17.399
and shit, but then her fans kept wanting the stuff

163
00:07:17.439 --> 00:07:20.759
on Spotify, so she put it back up on Spotify.

164
00:07:20.920 --> 00:07:23.600
She said she's not gonna promote it, but it's there

165
00:07:23.759 --> 00:07:24.480
for her fans.

166
00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:27.319
Yeah, I mean, that's the reality of the situation. I

167
00:07:27.399 --> 00:07:30.160
know a lot of people pull their music off Spotify,

168
00:07:30.759 --> 00:07:31.920
but at the end of the day, they have the

169
00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:34.680
largest user basis out of all of the DSPs I prefer.

170
00:07:34.800 --> 00:07:37.480
I like Apple Music because they have lossless audio, so

171
00:07:37.560 --> 00:07:39.800
it's like the best version of the masterfile I use

172
00:07:39.839 --> 00:07:41.319
all yeah. Yeah, so it's like you get the best,

173
00:07:41.519 --> 00:07:44.319
you get the best sound. But their user interface, like

174
00:07:44.319 --> 00:07:46.360
their playlisting and everything like that is kind of dog

175
00:07:46.439 --> 00:07:49.519
shit compared to Spotify, right, So it's more likely that

176
00:07:49.600 --> 00:07:52.920
the younger generations, the gen X, the gen z's, all

177
00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:54.759
these people are gonna use the one that's cool with

178
00:07:54.839 --> 00:07:56.759
playlists and cool with you can share to your friends.

179
00:07:56.839 --> 00:07:59.360
So it's tough. It's a rock and a hard place.

180
00:07:59.360 --> 00:08:01.000
At the end of the day, I think that I

181
00:08:01.319 --> 00:08:04.199
have I've completely stopped caring about streaming because I make

182
00:08:04.279 --> 00:08:06.839
no fucking money from it. Yeah, Like, I don't make money.

183
00:08:06.879 --> 00:08:08.480
No one makes money. My team doesn't make money. Like

184
00:08:08.560 --> 00:08:10.839
my friends who are bigger artists don't make money. And

185
00:08:10.879 --> 00:08:13.680
I'm like, cool, I'm just gonna care about real life,

186
00:08:13.800 --> 00:08:16.279
not the fucking Internet. I'm gonna care about real life,

187
00:08:16.360 --> 00:08:19.800
showing up, ripping fucking shows and putting on the best

188
00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:22.839
energetic set that I can so everyone can walk away

189
00:08:22.839 --> 00:08:24.839
going dude, that was like an experience, And if you

190
00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:27.120
didn't go, you fucking missed it for sure. And it's

191
00:08:27.160 --> 00:08:29.120
not gonna live online, it's not gonna live somewhere where

192
00:08:29.160 --> 00:08:29.920
you can access it.

193
00:08:30.279 --> 00:08:32.519
You missed it, you fucked up. I need to hit

194
00:08:32.559 --> 00:08:33.279
the next one.

195
00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:36.120
That's why I love you, because that's the attitude I have,

196
00:08:36.360 --> 00:08:39.519
and that's why I even love doing these festivals so

197
00:08:39.600 --> 00:08:42.720
I can be in yeah, the live music, can discover

198
00:08:42.919 --> 00:08:45.639
my new bands here instead of Spotify exactly.

199
00:08:45.919 --> 00:08:48.399
So there it is Spotify school for when you're at

200
00:08:48.440 --> 00:08:48.720
the gym.

201
00:08:49.080 --> 00:08:51.639
Other than that, it's I think you really need to

202
00:08:51.679 --> 00:08:53.879
be going to shows and supporting artists that way, and

203
00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:56.840
showing up and even checking out new artists that way.

204
00:08:57.080 --> 00:09:01.039
I've I've found artists that I really like shout out.

205
00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:03.480
I don't even know these guys personally, but like Johnny

206
00:09:03.480 --> 00:09:06.399
Booth is one of my fucking favorite bands, sick ass

207
00:09:06.440 --> 00:09:07.440
hardcore band from New York.

208
00:09:07.879 --> 00:09:11.840
I went to random fucking show in Nashville.

209
00:09:12.080 --> 00:09:12.440
I went.

210
00:09:12.519 --> 00:09:14.879
I think it was Silent Planet or something like that,

211
00:09:14.960 --> 00:09:17.000
and Johnny Booth I think, was like the second band

212
00:09:17.080 --> 00:09:18.799
up and I walked in and was like, Oh, this

213
00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:20.039
is the headliner for sure.

214
00:09:20.600 --> 00:09:22.320
They're like, oh no, this is the second band, and

215
00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:23.519
I was like, what the fuck.

216
00:09:23.879 --> 00:09:24.080
Wow.

217
00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:27.159
The energy that they had the crowd was just animals,

218
00:09:27.200 --> 00:09:29.200
and I was like, Oh, if I didn't come to

219
00:09:29.240 --> 00:09:31.519
this show, I would have never experienced this band live.

220
00:09:32.120 --> 00:09:33.960
And they're recorded music. It's all hardcore, so you know

221
00:09:34.000 --> 00:09:37.279
what I mean. It's different, Like, yeah, hardcore music on

222
00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:40.799
the recorded side is like oh sick, thrashy dope versus yeah, person,

223
00:09:40.840 --> 00:09:43.000
It's like, oh, dude, if you're if you go to

224
00:09:43.080 --> 00:09:45.159
a knock Loose show, you're like, what the fuck is

225
00:09:45.240 --> 00:09:48.120
this exact? Gooblacon or some shit like that same thing.

226
00:09:48.200 --> 00:09:49.679
I was like, cool, I found my one of my

227
00:09:49.799 --> 00:09:52.200
cool favorite bands from this. I think people need to

228
00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:52.799
go to shows.

229
00:09:53.360 --> 00:09:57.080
