up doing? Hey man, thanks
for having me on the show. Hey,

10
00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:14.680
my pleasure. So yeah, funny
my childhood nickname and people have known

11
00:01:14.719 --> 00:01:18.159
me most of my life. It's
still Dino, but it's spelled the way

12
00:01:18.280 --> 00:01:22.599
my name is spelled at the E
A N o oh right on, dude.

13
00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:25.480
Yeah, I'm I guess I'm the
Italian way of that, huh,

14
00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:29.480
I know. Yeah, And it's
funny because I am Italian. I'm actually

15
00:01:29.599 --> 00:01:33.040
Italian Jew, so you would think
it would be spelled the other way.

16
00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:36.920
But since my name was Dean,
people just started calling me Dino and made

17
00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:41.640
my nickname longer than my actual name, right man, Well that's funny,

18
00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:44.719
dudecause, yeah, that's like the
same with me, except my dad and

19
00:01:44.799 --> 00:01:48.920
I we have the same name.
So my mom to you know, not

20
00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:52.319
get confused. It's like, okay, you know you're Dino and your Dean,

21
00:01:52.439 --> 00:01:55.000
so I like that, all right, cool, and that's pretty cool,

22
00:01:55.560 --> 00:01:57.599
But I Dean sometimes, you know, it's my it's my government name.

23
00:01:59.239 --> 00:02:06.120
There you go. Funny story about
that. Somebody that I have working

24
00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:09.879
for me that runs my Louisiana studio. She was going to cover an event

25
00:02:10.039 --> 00:02:13.919
with me one time, because you
know, I go around and do radio

26
00:02:13.960 --> 00:02:16.360
coverage at festivals and other events,
and you know, when you go to

27
00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:21.360
get your media credentials, they want
to know your name and see your ID.

28
00:02:22.439 --> 00:02:25.719
So when they asked her her name, she gave her radio moniker name,

29
00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:30.560
like her nickname, not her real
name, right right. And I'm

30
00:02:30.680 --> 00:02:34.360
like, uh, yeah, they're
not going to give you a credential.

31
00:02:34.439 --> 00:02:36.719
You have to give them your real
name. She's like, that is my

32
00:02:36.840 --> 00:02:40.400
real name. The name on your
government ID is the name they need,

33
00:02:42.319 --> 00:02:49.639
right yeah? Im me Electric dog
Man, Like that's on my government ID.

34
00:02:50.680 --> 00:02:54.280
There you go, I love it. So I gotta say I was

35
00:02:54.560 --> 00:03:01.800
checking out the new music and it
is badass. It's old school rock and

36
00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:07.159
roll. Somebody else said it,
and before I even read that, I

37
00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:10.280
saw that and read that. Listening
to it, I totally got the Van

38
00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:17.319
Hager vibe. Oh sick man,
right, Yeah, And uh, I

39
00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:24.840
think it's pretty cool that Sammy actually
endorsed your self titled debut EP. Yeah.

40
00:03:24.919 --> 00:03:28.719
Man, it's it's it's a huge, like a huge honor. You

41
00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:32.319
know. It's like having any just
musician that you look up to, or

42
00:03:32.599 --> 00:03:38.120
you know, any band that's doing
what you want to do is just super

43
00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:43.439
cool. But you know, my
hero actually saying stamp of approval on it,

44
00:03:43.800 --> 00:03:46.400
you know, doesn't get any better
than that, you know, and

45
00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:50.240
it's great, you know, I
mean think you know, he even mentioned,

46
00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:53.840
you know, uh that we were
like the next up and coming,

47
00:03:53.960 --> 00:03:58.400
like you know, kind of Montrose
type vibe act coming up. So that

48
00:03:58.560 --> 00:04:02.520
was that was really huge. It's
it's a very cool you know, it's

49
00:04:02.520 --> 00:04:08.000
a really cool boost and stuff.
And the EP is getting really well received

50
00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:11.080
with with people, and uh,
you know a lot of people you know

51
00:04:11.960 --> 00:04:14.680
who are just getting into rock music
or you know, have been listening to

52
00:04:14.759 --> 00:04:16.040
it for a long time, are
saying, hey, man, that that

53
00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:20.000
sounds really cool. So it's fun. It's great, man, I mean

54
00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:23.879
for you know, I couldn't ask
for anything better for a for a you

55
00:04:23.959 --> 00:04:28.040
know, debut, no doubt.
I mean, like, did that kind

56
00:04:28.079 --> 00:04:32.480
of blow your mind when Sammy Hagar
is endorsing your debut EP? I mean

57
00:04:32.759 --> 00:04:36.000
yeah, I mean sometimes I still
can't believe it where it's like, yeah,

58
00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:39.240
dude, like he you know,
he thinks it's cool. You know

59
00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:43.360
what what you guys you know created
you know, and and and he knows

60
00:04:43.439 --> 00:04:46.000
the influence is there and and all
that, and you know, but you

61
00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:48.600
know, we take influence from I
mean, like you know, why and

62
00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:53.639
T. You know, we kind
of claim ourselves as like Northern California rock

63
00:04:53.639 --> 00:04:57.079
and roll. I don't know any
other I would say up and coming bands

64
00:04:57.240 --> 00:05:00.959
you know who are doing the genre
in norcl really yeah, plenty and SoCal

65
00:05:01.040 --> 00:05:03.680
like and LA and stuff. But
as far as Northern California, you know,

66
00:05:03.759 --> 00:05:08.279
we thought the you know, you
know Montrose Journey, you know,

67
00:05:08.519 --> 00:05:12.000
Yan T. Hag Art kind of
kind of vibe and that's what we kind

68
00:05:12.040 --> 00:05:15.600
of want to bring to our generation. Is just that kind of sound and

69
00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:20.600
swagger. I think it is pretty
cool that retro is making a comeback.

70
00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:26.160
You know, there's so many artists
I interview that are putting out vinyl.

71
00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:30.959
There's a live artists I interview or
going back to just basic rock and roll

72
00:05:30.040 --> 00:05:35.519
and being musicians again instead of you
know what the record labels through the years

73
00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:40.360
have tried to produce rock and roll, to be just going back to the

74
00:05:40.879 --> 00:05:45.000
real thing. Yeah, man,
it's it's it's really all about you know,

75
00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:47.600
just just uh for the love of
music, you know, and and

76
00:05:47.839 --> 00:05:51.079
just like the roots of rock and
roll. And you know, I mean

77
00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:54.959
I've talked to a lot of you
know, bands that are kind of in

78
00:05:55.040 --> 00:05:57.879
our realm uh. You know,
I've been coming right you said, like

79
00:05:58.160 --> 00:06:01.199
retro throwback type of bands. And
you know, we're not really into all

80
00:06:01.240 --> 00:06:04.199
the all the you know, the
drugs and drinking really about you know,

81
00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:06.600
we're just about the music. You
know, That's really what it's all about

82
00:06:06.680 --> 00:06:11.959
for us. And I think that
really shows in what you know, Voodoo's

83
00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:15.240
doing or any of these other bands
that are that are coming up for sure.

84
00:06:15.439 --> 00:06:16.680
You know, I think I think
I saw Slash say that too.

85
00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:18.439
He was the one that was like, yeah, man, you know they're

86
00:06:18.480 --> 00:06:24.360
focused on the music, which is
super cool. I love that because that

87
00:06:24.720 --> 00:06:31.120
is kind of a cool thing about
nowadays, is that musicians aren't a train

88
00:06:31.279 --> 00:06:35.480
wreck like they were back in the
day. Like you guys take it seriously.

89
00:06:36.120 --> 00:06:42.639
A lot of straight edge musicians that
you're just you know, you're perfecting

90
00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:46.839
your craft. It's more about the
music than the party scene, right exactly,

91
00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:49.920
because I mean, like you know, I mean I look up to

92
00:06:49.959 --> 00:06:53.639
all these guys, so I'm not
trying to trash any of those artists or

93
00:06:53.680 --> 00:06:56.480
that kind of thing, but you
know, it's like a learning experience you

94
00:06:56.560 --> 00:06:58.639
can learn from. You're like,
oh man, I don't want to do

95
00:06:58.720 --> 00:07:00.199
that. You know, people are
paying money to see us, you know,

96
00:07:00.959 --> 00:07:03.319
uh, or you know you're going
to see a show. You don't

97
00:07:03.319 --> 00:07:05.600
want to be a train wrecker,
a fool out there. People won't take

98
00:07:05.639 --> 00:07:11.480
us seriously. And yeah, it's
it's it's at the end of the day,

99
00:07:11.519 --> 00:07:13.319
like you said, man, it's
really about the music. And you

100
00:07:13.399 --> 00:07:15.639
know, I mean right now,
I mean there's no money in this in

101
00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:18.040
this for us, you know,
there's no money in this business or that

102
00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:21.519
kind of thing. And if you
party, you know nowadays, of course

103
00:07:21.560 --> 00:07:24.480
there'll be no money in it at
all. Yeah, you know, but

104
00:07:24.600 --> 00:07:26.639
we're not in it for that,
you know, we're in it just to

105
00:07:26.759 --> 00:07:30.319
make music and just kind of bringing
that rock and roll flair back into you

106
00:07:30.439 --> 00:07:34.160
know, a world that really doesn't
have a lot of it right now,

107
00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:39.600
you know, exactly. So that's
what really all about. And No,

108
00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:44.079
that's great. I think that's a
great take on it for rock. Yeah,

109
00:07:44.240 --> 00:07:49.519
absolutely, And you know, I
think it's pretty cool that, you

110
00:07:49.600 --> 00:07:55.360
know, you you look at in
the way of Okay, so these people

111
00:07:55.480 --> 00:08:01.120
in the past, you learned from
their experiences, and I think that's always

112
00:08:01.199 --> 00:08:05.120
what makes us evolve as humans,
is learning from previous experiences what to do

113
00:08:05.279 --> 00:08:09.000
better, how to do things.
And you know, having somebody like say

114
00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:13.759
with Hagar, to me, he
has wanted the pros in the industry still

115
00:08:13.839 --> 00:08:16.720
doing it. I mean, he's
up there with Mick Jagger and as far

116
00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:20.000
it's like, you know, like
doing it still, you know what I

117
00:08:20.040 --> 00:08:22.399
mean, he's pushing eighty I think
right now he's seventy seven. Yeah,

118
00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:26.319
Jagger's like eighty three or something like
that. You know. I'm seeing them

119
00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:31.839
on Wednesday, Super Stokes and uh, but yeah, they're just like living,

120
00:08:31.039 --> 00:08:35.440
breathing, you know, rock legends
that are still doing it, you

121
00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:37.600
know. Yeah, and you take
somebody like Hagar, I've never looked at

122
00:08:37.679 --> 00:08:43.279
him as like a train wreck,
you know, no, right exactly,

123
00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:46.480
you know exactly. And that's and
I think that's what a lot of young

124
00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:50.639
musicians are looking at. You know. Red Voodoo for sure is like,

125
00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:52.440
man, we want to be that, you know, we want to we

126
00:08:52.559 --> 00:08:56.600
want to you know, do it
so we could be like a Hagar or

127
00:08:56.679 --> 00:09:01.159
a Mick Jagger or you know any
of those other rockers are still doing it.

128
00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:03.919
You know. Yeah, there you
go. So what was that one

129
00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:09.440
moment in time in your life that
you knew this was the route you were

130
00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:13.679
going to take? I would say
I would say for sure it was.

131
00:09:13.840 --> 00:09:18.679
It was it was two moments.
You know. My dad took me to

132
00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:22.279
see Hagar in twenty seventeen. It
was my very first concert ever. Wow

133
00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:28.480
yeah, yeah, very first concert
ever and in Celtic Tahoe at the hardest

134
00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:31.559
amphitheater out there. And it was
he was with the Circle, So Dick

135
00:09:31.639 --> 00:09:37.399
Johnson, Michael Anthony, Jason Bonham
and Sam and you know, I have

136
00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:39.279
never been to a concert, never
listening to rock music. You know,

137
00:09:39.320 --> 00:09:43.360
I was like in high school,
so I think I was listening to like

138
00:09:43.559 --> 00:09:46.840
Roon five or some shit, and
you know, and you know, and

139
00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:50.360
this is the thing I always say. You know, it's not just about

140
00:09:52.039 --> 00:09:54.000
just the songs from Van Hill that
really hooked me, or the songs of

141
00:09:54.039 --> 00:09:58.879
Hagar that hooked me, but it
was his infectious attitude towards life in tour,

142
00:10:00.399 --> 00:10:05.360
the being on the stage. And
that's where I was like, holy

143
00:10:05.399 --> 00:10:07.360
shit, I want to do that. You know, I want to be

144
00:10:07.440 --> 00:10:09.639
that for someone. You know,
I want someone to come to my show

145
00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:15.399
and just forget about whatever bullshit they're
doing with, you know, and just

146
00:10:15.440 --> 00:10:16.519
have fun for a couple hours.
You know. That's really what it's all

147
00:10:16.519 --> 00:10:18.720
about. You know, at the
end of the day, you know,

148
00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:22.440
music is making people feel alive and
happy and fun, and that's what Voodo

149
00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:26.120
is all about. And you know, that's really kind of set the path

150
00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:31.919
was that show, and the second
time was seeing yan t and Sacramento,

151
00:10:31.759 --> 00:10:39.120
Nice Dave Meticetty and just like again
just the infectious nature and just the guitars

152
00:10:39.159 --> 00:10:39.960
and the songs, and I was
like, man, I want to do

153
00:10:41.080 --> 00:10:46.000
that. So that really set it
off as far as what I wanted to

154
00:10:46.039 --> 00:10:50.320
do with with my life. I
love it. That's a great story because

155
00:10:50.519 --> 00:10:54.159
that's you know, kind of how
it happens. Moments like that and then

156
00:10:54.879 --> 00:11:01.000
you catch the bug the music buzz
yeah, and you know it's it's you

157
00:11:01.039 --> 00:11:07.639
know, I'll say this like right
now, I'm twenty one. So right

158
00:11:07.720 --> 00:11:11.279
now, all my friends have just
graduated college, you know, and they

159
00:11:11.399 --> 00:11:13.840
you know, I didn't go to
college. I'm doing this. This is

160
00:11:13.960 --> 00:11:18.480
like my path, my journey,
you know, what's it. But you

161
00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:22.559
know, being being a young musician, you know, trying to trying to

162
00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:30.000
make it, trying to make it
a career. It's one of those things

163
00:11:30.039 --> 00:11:31.759
where it's like, man, I'm
seeing all my friends graduate college and they

164
00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:37.240
got degrees and I'm still, you
know, trying to do this. I

165
00:11:37.320 --> 00:11:41.679
don't have any security. I don't
have a plan B. But there's also

166
00:11:41.759 --> 00:11:43.559
something to be said of like wow, man, you know, like I

167
00:11:43.679 --> 00:11:46.679
found what I wanted to do when
I was sixteen, seventeen years old and

168
00:11:46.720 --> 00:11:50.639
I'm still doing it. Wow.
All my peers are you know, not

169
00:11:50.840 --> 00:11:54.279
the go you know, they don't
know what they want to do, so

170
00:11:54.440 --> 00:11:56.639
to speak, you know, graduate, college, and the real world.

171
00:11:56.720 --> 00:12:01.360
So yeah, that's probably off topic, but that's just something I've been thinking

172
00:12:01.360 --> 00:12:05.559
about lately. Hey, I like
off topic because I don't you know,

173
00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:07.759
every year of you can sound the
same otherwise, you know, I like

174
00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:11.320
to hear the good stuff, the
stuff that not everybody is talking about or

175
00:12:11.360 --> 00:12:15.960
not everybody's asking about. So right, I think that's badass. That's like

176
00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:18.480
an insight into it myself. And
just I think being a musician nowadays,

177
00:12:20.200 --> 00:12:22.399
you know, and trying to really
go for it, I love it.

178
00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:28.200
Well. I think your attitude is
