The back-to-back festivals also drove some of the highest hotel demand of the year, with overall occupancy reaching more than 80% citywide. These preliminary estimates highlight the tremendous tourism and economic value of the festivals, which bring hundreds of thousands of visitors to Louisville and fuel spending across hotels, restaurants, bourbon attractions, and local businesses.

Like?

15
00:00:52.079 --> 00:00:54.240
It's a great festl I mean, like all some of

16
00:00:54.280 --> 00:00:56.280
the best bands in the world are here, all on

17
00:00:56.320 --> 00:00:59.679
the same day. You know, every day is stacked full

18
00:00:59.719 --> 00:01:01.759
of great bands. You know, there's so man's good heavy

19
00:01:01.840 --> 00:01:05.120
music going on right now. So this festival is a

20
00:01:05.159 --> 00:01:08.879
great example of a lot of awesome different heavy bands

21
00:01:08.879 --> 00:01:12.400
coming together and playing like a one thing that people

22
00:01:12.480 --> 00:01:16.480
can see from hardcore to death metal, to pop punk

23
00:01:16.599 --> 00:01:19.640
or to metal core, deathcore, everything you want you can

24
00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:20.519
pretty much find here.

25
00:01:20.680 --> 00:01:22.879
Well, you and I were talking about that yesterday, how

26
00:01:22.920 --> 00:01:26.519
cool it is at nowadays, especially at the Danny Wimmer festivals,

27
00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:31.680
there's a mix of every type of metal, punk, hip hop,

28
00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:38.560
like instead of just being this gatekeeper purest attitude, everybody's here.

29
00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:43.120
Yeah, I mean it seems like people are pretty open

30
00:01:43.159 --> 00:01:47.200
minded to different styles of heavier music nowadays.

31
00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:48.000
So great.

32
00:01:48.120 --> 00:01:50.840
It's kind of like a high tides lift all boat

33
00:01:50.879 --> 00:01:51.640
sort of scenario.

34
00:01:52.359 --> 00:01:55.359
So it's, yeah, I'm grateful to be here.

35
00:01:55.959 --> 00:01:58.200
Has there been a set that you've gone to at

36
00:01:58.280 --> 00:02:03.319
leward in life that you were really like pumped up

37
00:02:03.359 --> 00:02:04.359
to see the band?

38
00:02:04.599 --> 00:02:07.400
Yeah, our singers left. This other band Left to Suffer

39
00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:09.520
played yesterday. Our drummer played with them too, and that

40
00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:12.039
was that was really good. It was really awesome seeing

41
00:02:12.039 --> 00:02:16.479
Cavallera Conspiracy syeing the Cavallera brothers play the old Sepultoria stuff.

42
00:02:16.639 --> 00:02:18.759
Yeah, I loved I loved that. That was so good.

43
00:02:18.960 --> 00:02:20.479
Laura Shore crushed.

44
00:02:20.120 --> 00:02:22.240
It and were they awesome or Yeah?

45
00:02:22.280 --> 00:02:22.879
That was great.

46
00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:26.280
I just saw Thornhill just now and that was awesome too.

47
00:02:26.360 --> 00:02:27.840
I like that band a lot. That new album was

48
00:02:27.879 --> 00:02:30.319
so good. Yeah, man, it was. It was stacked like

49
00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:32.520
all day. It was just good sec good seck, good set,

50
00:02:32.599 --> 00:02:33.840
good say I see.

51
00:02:34.159 --> 00:02:37.439
I love when artists actually have the time to enjoy

52
00:02:37.520 --> 00:02:40.759
other bands, because it's not often like sometimes you're on

53
00:02:40.840 --> 00:02:43.520
such a time crunch. It's like, oh, I'd like to

54
00:02:43.520 --> 00:02:46.960
catch these bands, but like you got to catch.

55
00:02:46.719 --> 00:02:48.199
A lot of bands, so that's cool.

56
00:02:48.560 --> 00:02:48.879
Yeah.

57
00:02:48.919 --> 00:02:51.360
Well, yesterday I didn't have to play, so I was

58
00:02:51.400 --> 00:02:53.080
able to have an off day and was just able

59
00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:55.159
to hang out and just go watch whatever I wanted to.

60
00:02:55.360 --> 00:02:57.759
So that's always nice when you get a day just

61
00:02:57.759 --> 00:02:59.280
a chill and hang out with your friends and just

62
00:02:59.319 --> 00:03:01.439
go watch the band that you're able to go see.

63
00:03:01.719 --> 00:03:03.479
Today's a little more hectic for me, so I don't

64
00:03:03.479 --> 00:03:05.759
get to see as much. But it's also super stack today,

65
00:03:05.800 --> 00:03:07.599
so I almost can't even look at the line up

66
00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:09.120
because I get bommed because I'm like Davin, I don't

67
00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:09.599
know if I can.

68
00:03:09.479 --> 00:03:11.000
See this man. I don't really want to see this man.

69
00:03:11.080 --> 00:03:11.719
I like this, you know.

70
00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:14.840
That's why I bring that up because I think a

71
00:03:14.840 --> 00:03:18.080
lot of listeners they don't understand that you're a fan

72
00:03:18.280 --> 00:03:22.479
first absolutely, you know, and like you want to be

73
00:03:22.520 --> 00:03:25.159
out there just like the rest of us, but you

74
00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:27.879
also want to be on stage too. It goes both ways,

75
00:03:27.919 --> 00:03:31.199
and that full musical experience.

76
00:03:31.520 --> 00:03:34.120
Yeah, I mean everyone everyone in bands is a fan first.

77
00:03:34.199 --> 00:03:36.159
That's kind of how you get into it, you don't.

78
00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:39.159
I mean I haven't met many people who just like

79
00:03:39.240 --> 00:03:42.520
fell backwards into being in like a metal band who

80
00:03:42.599 --> 00:03:46.759
weren't into it at all before that. It's not very common, right,

81
00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:49.680
It's too much suffering and involved in too much hard

82
00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:50.120
work to.

83
00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:53.800
Warrant it if you're not into what you're doing.

84
00:03:54.800 --> 00:03:57.560
So you guys have been on a whirlwind lately.

85
00:03:57.800 --> 00:04:01.639
Like I saw you ink, I saw you at Download,

86
00:04:01.800 --> 00:04:04.719
I saw you at Hellfest, and now I see you

87
00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:08.319
here at Louder than Life. How does that feel like

88
00:04:09.039 --> 00:04:12.240
playing to these type of crowds, like, and they're there

89
00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:14.719
for you, not just for the festival for you.

90
00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:16.399
Yeah, man, it's amazing.

91
00:04:16.480 --> 00:04:18.399
I mean we haven't even really been a band playing

92
00:04:18.439 --> 00:04:21.319
shows like for a year yet We're still very new

93
00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:24.720
and people are still just discovering we exist at all.

94
00:04:25.040 --> 00:04:29.120
So playing these definitely helps with that. Obviously, it is

95
00:04:29.160 --> 00:04:31.600
like a little bit of a collective group of like

96
00:04:32.120 --> 00:04:35.720
musicians who are not really starting from zero. Obviously, having

97
00:04:35.800 --> 00:04:39.000
Chavo from System of a Down in your band is amazing,

98
00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:42.079
just like in terms of these opportunities and stuff. But

99
00:04:43.079 --> 00:04:45.319
it's really cool that people seem to be digging the

100
00:04:45.639 --> 00:04:48.399
project and people seem to like the album. We're working

101
00:04:48.399 --> 00:04:50.879
on new music right now to get some songs out

102
00:04:50.920 --> 00:04:54.199
sooner than later. Playing these shows and all these festivals

103
00:04:54.199 --> 00:04:56.839
in front of like all these like massive amounts of

104
00:04:56.879 --> 00:05:00.240
people is great because kind of get like a since

105
00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:02.720
since we wrote these songs before playing any shows or

106
00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:05.240
anything like that, you kind of see how they work live.

107
00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:07.199
So now we got a bit more of a gist

108
00:05:07.279 --> 00:05:10.399
on like what our favorite parts of our music that

109
00:05:10.600 --> 00:05:12.680
seems to be working, what we should double down on,

110
00:05:13.240 --> 00:05:15.480
what we should like lean back from, and so it's

111
00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:17.519
it's a great learning experience too, creatively.

112
00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:20.279
And so speaking of Shavl, I was talking to him

113
00:05:20.319 --> 00:05:23.639
yesterday and basically he was telling me how he hand

114
00:05:23.720 --> 00:05:27.680
picked each one of you guys to be in this band.

115
00:05:28.079 --> 00:05:30.480
How does that make you feel when somebody like Chavo

116
00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:34.360
comes up to you and thinks, man, you're really fucking good,

117
00:05:34.399 --> 00:05:36.800
you should be playing with me type of thing.

118
00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:42.519
Yeah, I mean I halfway feel like I somewhat manipulated

119
00:05:42.560 --> 00:05:44.000
him into starting this band with me.

120
00:05:44.040 --> 00:05:45.240
And I'm not gonna lie.

121
00:05:45.480 --> 00:05:47.560
Yeah, it was great. Like in the beginning, me and him.

122
00:05:47.720 --> 00:05:50.120
Just it wasn't even the idea wasn't even to make

123
00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:53.120
a band. It was just we were just started writing

124
00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:55.279
music together and it was just coming out cool. Like

125
00:05:55.319 --> 00:05:57.079
it came out it sounded like what the band, what

126
00:05:57.120 --> 00:06:00.720
you're hearing? Yeah, So to me, it was just not

127
00:06:00.920 --> 00:06:05.240
really sounding like other artists out there. I realized there's

128
00:06:05.279 --> 00:06:08.920
kind of an open lane and System isn't really releasing music.

129
00:06:08.959 --> 00:06:10.639
So I was just like, bro, like the world should

130
00:06:10.680 --> 00:06:14.000
hear Chavo riffs. Yeah, Like, let's like do a project.

131
00:06:14.199 --> 00:06:15.560
Where at first it was just going to be a

132
00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:17.560
solo record for him. That was going to be a

133
00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:20.319
cool album, get a bunch of features on it, and

134
00:06:20.360 --> 00:06:23.519
like just create some like epic collage of like a

135
00:06:23.639 --> 00:06:26.639
DJ khalied a metal sort of vibe. And then yeah,

136
00:06:26.680 --> 00:06:29.040
as we wrote more songs, like his team and stuff

137
00:06:29.079 --> 00:06:31.480
like actually really loved what we were making and said

138
00:06:31.519 --> 00:06:33.000
like you should do this because you could go on

139
00:06:33.040 --> 00:06:35.240
tour and you guys aren't really touring much and you

140
00:06:35.319 --> 00:06:38.639
really want to like do a more modern band.

141
00:06:38.439 --> 00:06:39.600
So like do that.

142
00:06:39.680 --> 00:06:42.879
So basically did that, and I just brought my friends

143
00:06:42.920 --> 00:06:44.319
to him, like I was like, Hey, this kid would

144
00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:45.759
be sick. This kid, we'd be sick. This kid would

145
00:06:45.800 --> 00:06:48.480
be sick. And luckily like he liked all of them

146
00:06:48.480 --> 00:06:50.319
doing the I was doing the Left to Suffer album,

147
00:06:50.360 --> 00:06:53.079
and in the process of doing that, me and Taylor

148
00:06:53.959 --> 00:06:56.040
I realized that I was like, oh, he's a great

149
00:06:56.079 --> 00:06:58.399
singer and a great one of the best screamers in

150
00:06:58.439 --> 00:06:58.759
the world.

151
00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:00.920
Like who I think really is is great.

152
00:07:01.079 --> 00:07:02.399
Yeah, I mean I think it really is pushing the

153
00:07:02.439 --> 00:07:05.160
boundaries of what like you're capable of, like with guttural

154
00:07:05.319 --> 00:07:08.040
vocals and stuff like that. But anyways, and then Ollijandro

155
00:07:08.120 --> 00:07:10.319
is just we're all super fans of him because he's

156
00:07:10.319 --> 00:07:14.360
an amazing, amazing guitar player, amazing piano player.

157
00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:16.279
I mean he almost won American Idol.

158
00:07:16.279 --> 00:07:18.759
You know, Like his voice isn't like one of my

159
00:07:18.759 --> 00:07:21.959
favorites I've ever heard, So just like kind of threw

160
00:07:22.439 --> 00:07:23.759
hell Mary out there. I was like, yoh, do you

161
00:07:23.759 --> 00:07:26.879
want to play guitar? And he did so yeah. Me

162
00:07:26.920 --> 00:07:28.759
and Shabo just kind of restoked on the group of people.

163
00:07:28.800 --> 00:07:30.199
You know, Josh is in insane drummer.

164
00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:33.920
It's always great because you guys have that chemistry between

165
00:07:33.920 --> 00:07:37.560
the musicians for sure, and that's what we see. We

166
00:07:37.600 --> 00:07:40.279
see a chemistry up there, and I think that's why

167
00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:43.079
you guys are so bad ass, because you're great musicians,

168
00:07:43.480 --> 00:07:46.120
but you also have that cohesive chemistry together.

169
00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:46.800
Oh thank you.

170
00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:49.680
Yeah, we're all friends, so it's just kind of adds

171
00:07:49.720 --> 00:07:51.600
like a fun element to it, just getting to play

172
00:07:51.680 --> 00:07:52.439
music with your friends.

173
00:07:52.680 --> 00:07:53.560
Yeah. Absolutely.

174
00:07:53.920 --> 00:07:56.879
And so now I always like to ask, and now

175
00:07:56.920 --> 00:08:00.439
you've done Welcome to Rockville. You've done this one. I'm

176
00:08:00.480 --> 00:08:02.639
not sure if you did any others because I can't remember.

177
00:08:02.879 --> 00:08:03.800
These are two.

178
00:08:04.600 --> 00:08:06.560
How does Danny Wimmer treat you as an artist?

179
00:08:06.759 --> 00:08:08.519
Oh? Amazing. Danny is awesome.

180
00:08:08.600 --> 00:08:11.839
I'm so super grateful for the opportunity for him to

181
00:08:11.959 --> 00:08:14.160
get us on these shows and stuff. I know everyone

182
00:08:14.680 --> 00:08:17.720
who's in the band wants to play for like Danny's

183
00:08:17.759 --> 00:08:20.240
festivals and stuff. So to be like one of the

184
00:08:20.279 --> 00:08:23.240
bands that is in the lucky enough like group of

185
00:08:23.360 --> 00:08:25.279
artists getting to play these is amazing.

186
00:08:25.399 --> 00:08:25.639
Yeah.

187
00:08:25.720 --> 00:08:29.319
And in sixteen years of doing his festivals, I've never

188
00:08:29.399 --> 00:08:32.440
heard of or say a bad thing. And as sometimes

189
00:08:32.840 --> 00:08:35.480
most of the time that's not the case. At festival

190
00:08:35.639 --> 00:08:39.360
usually there's a lot of stress because soundtrack's not right,

191
00:08:39.559 --> 00:08:42.639
load in's not right, loud, load out is not right.

192
00:08:42.720 --> 00:08:45.799
But all I ever hear is like it's smooth sailing

193
00:08:45.879 --> 00:08:48.080
at Danny Wimmer Festival for the artists.

194
00:08:48.159 --> 00:08:50.399
Yeah, they definitely seem to take a lot of effort

195
00:08:50.440 --> 00:08:54.440
into making sure that the fest run smoothly, So everyone's

196
00:08:54.440 --> 00:08:55.480
obviously grateful for that.

197
00:08:55.600 --> 00:08:57.840
And what else do you going on after this that

198
00:08:57.879 --> 00:08:59.279
you want the listeners to know about?

199
00:08:59.559 --> 00:09:02.039
Yeah, right now we're on tour with Marilyn Manson. This

200
00:09:02.159 --> 00:09:06.279
is like a festival off show with right, But yeah,

201
00:09:06.320 --> 00:09:09.080
we start our Manson tour again tomorrow. We'll be doing

202
00:09:09.080 --> 00:09:11.399
that for about like two and a half weeks or so,

203
00:09:11.879 --> 00:09:14.759
when we go play After Shock in Sacramento and the

204
00:09:14.799 --> 00:09:18.320
other Danny Fest and fun one by the way. After that,

205
00:09:18.440 --> 00:09:21.080
we have some tours and things that we've been offered.

206
00:09:21.200 --> 00:09:23.440
We're just like figuring out what makes sense and what

207
00:09:23.440 --> 00:09:26.480
we should do. We're gonna write a lot more new music.

208
00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:28.559
We have been writing music. We have like a handful

209
00:09:28.600 --> 00:09:31.519
of songs that are really far along. But we're gonna

210
00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:34.720
like really lock in and like go super hard for

211
00:09:34.960 --> 00:09:36.960
a couple of months and just try and just make

212
00:09:36.960 --> 00:09:39.399
the best stuff we can so we can get music

213
00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:42.360
to people sooner than later when we're stoked obviously, when

214
00:09:42.399 --> 00:09:44.039
we're stoked on it and we feel like it's good.

215
00:09:44.480 --> 00:09:47.039
But I'm confident that won't be hard because all of

216
00:09:47.159 --> 00:09:50.120
us make music all the time constantly, so it's not

217
00:09:50.159 --> 00:09:51.519
like we have to go in and learn how to do.

218
00:09:51.480 --> 00:09:52.080
It again, you know.

219
00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:56.000
Like I've been writing consistently for years since our album

220
00:09:56.000 --> 00:09:57.039
came out, and so is everyone.

221
00:09:57.120 --> 00:09:58.559
So there's gonna be great.

222
00:09:59.120 --> 00:10:01.639
After Chucks great. I love that festival.

223
00:10:01.720 --> 00:10:03.399
Yeah, I love after Stark too.

224
00:10:03.720 --> 00:10:05.320
It's gonna be a lot of fun. I can't wait

225
00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:07.879
to see you there again too. And Hey, thanks for
