We played right before My Sugar, So that's a little

26
00:01:18.239 --> 00:01:20.319
scary because we all looked. So as soon as I finished,

27
00:01:20.359 --> 00:01:21.879
I just threw my guitar and was like, all right,

You know.

37
00:01:43.400 --> 00:01:45.079
I had a great time. I was getting to play

38
00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:47.439
with so many awesome bands today, so many friends. You know,

39
00:01:47.480 --> 00:01:48.280
we've been loving it.

40
00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:52.120
Did I don't remember if it was before or after.

41
00:01:52.879 --> 00:01:55.519
So I'm gonna ask you a question. At Rockville, was

42
00:01:55.599 --> 00:01:57.439
my hair and this color or another color?

43
00:01:57.560 --> 00:01:59.319
No? It was some Yeah, it was about that. You

44
00:01:59.319 --> 00:02:00.959
got the the blond going there.

45
00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:04.599
Let me tell you what happened after your girl that

46
00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:09.599
was doing the hair? Uh huh, Angela right, I Mike

47
00:02:09.680 --> 00:02:12.319
at the media introduced me to her and we're talking

48
00:02:12.360 --> 00:02:15.599
because my hair has been like blue for years. It's

49
00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:19.360
the first time it was like this, you know, And

50
00:02:19.400 --> 00:02:22.840
I was fading already, what like it was looking crappy.

51
00:02:22.919 --> 00:02:25.759
While I was there, I said to her, well, I

52
00:02:25.800 --> 00:02:29.960
should interview you, and you should do my hair while

53
00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:32.439
we're doing the interview, because I've done that before, like

54
00:02:32.520 --> 00:02:36.719
live in my studio, got my hair nut. So she

55
00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:42.159
did my hair right back there on the grass. I

56
00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:44.800
told her, I'm like, do whatever the fuck you want.

57
00:02:44.919 --> 00:02:47.879
I don't even want to see it till after you're done. Wow,

58
00:02:47.960 --> 00:02:50.479
pick whatever color blah blah, And I showed her what

59
00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:53.680
my hair used to look like. She did like a

60
00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:58.680
mix of purple, blue and pink, like almost like an ombre.

61
00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:01.879
It was more purple than anything else, but it had

62
00:03:01.879 --> 00:03:05.039
this like you could see in the sunlight different colors

63
00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:06.960
like because of it. And then when it faded, it

64
00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:08.479
faded to those old colors.

65
00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:09.240
So it's crazy.

66
00:03:09.319 --> 00:03:12.319
How wild is that? Like? Because she said she was

67
00:03:12.360 --> 00:03:16.120
doing the hair for your band, I'm like, well, let's

68
00:03:16.120 --> 00:03:19.639
sit I'm a publicity whore, let's do it might as well, right,

69
00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:22.280
So it would have been like that now but faded.

70
00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:24.479
That's too funny.

71
00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:27.599
And then she actually then helped me at Punk Rock

72
00:03:27.639 --> 00:03:30.520
Bowling because that was the next festival I had to do.

73
00:03:30.759 --> 00:03:33.520
Oh cool, that's about us. A festival. You know about

74
00:03:33.520 --> 00:03:33.759
that one?

75
00:03:33.840 --> 00:03:34.960
Punk Boy I've heard of it.

76
00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:39.560
Yeah, it's in Vegas. It overtakes all downtown Vegas. There's

77
00:03:39.639 --> 00:03:44.039
club shows everywhere. There's you know, the main stuff, but

78
00:03:44.159 --> 00:03:46.280
then there's all kinds of different things going on. My

79
00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:50.719
favorite part is the punk rock swim. So you're at

80
00:03:50.759 --> 00:03:56.520
the pool of the hotel and there's bands playing and

81
00:03:56.560 --> 00:03:58.759
there's a circle pit in the pool.

82
00:03:58.879 --> 00:03:59.680
Oh that's awesome.

83
00:03:59.759 --> 00:04:02.800
Yeah, it was fun as hell. And then there was

84
00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:06.439
also inflable sex doll in the circle pit too.

85
00:04:07.400 --> 00:04:10.080
That's of course, right, of course there's gonna be that.

86
00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:12.759
Yeah, you can't have it without it without that, No,

87
00:04:12.879 --> 00:04:13.840
that's just natural.

88
00:04:13.960 --> 00:04:14.199
Right.

89
00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:17.600

119
00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:23.319

00:05:23.399 --> 00:05:25.480
You know, out goes. It's like a last minute thing,

122
00:05:29.959 --> 00:05:31.040

123
00:05:31.399 --> 00:05:33.680
I had. This is my first time. Oh my god,

124
00:05:33.680 --> 00:05:34.439
I'm really excited.

125
00:05:34.519 --> 00:05:37.480
Oh my god. Way do you see this place? Okay,

126
00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:42.879
like they own the whole place, so it's permanent. Everything's

127
00:05:42.920 --> 00:05:47.600
permanent there. Yeah, I've heard and at night fire comes

128
00:05:47.680 --> 00:05:50.680
up from everywhere and you're like, I'm in fucking hell

129
00:05:51.920 --> 00:05:54.879
is so and then there's a huge sculpture of Lemmy.

130
00:05:55.360 --> 00:05:55.800
Wow.

131
00:05:55.879 --> 00:05:59.079
Yeah, here's the best part for you to band. The

132
00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:01.759
first time I did it was right after COVID when

133
00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:05.120
they had the seven day two weekend four and three. Yeah,

134
00:06:05.160 --> 00:06:07.720
and they had like three hundred and sixty bands. Remember

135
00:06:07.720 --> 00:06:11.879
I had that like insane lineup, right. Every band I

136
00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:17.439
talked to raved about how they did sound there. Soundcheck

137
00:06:18.199 --> 00:06:20.079
was like for every band I talked to, it was

138
00:06:20.160 --> 00:06:22.040
five minutes and then it was perfect. They were like,

139
00:06:22.519 --> 00:06:25.000
it was so easy. We did this sound check and

140
00:06:25.040 --> 00:06:26.759
then we could just relax the rest of it.

141
00:06:26.759 --> 00:06:27.639
Oh, that's so cool.

142
00:06:27.759 --> 00:06:31.480
Right, three hundred and sixty bands, not one went on late.

143
00:06:31.800 --> 00:06:35.040
Well that makes me optimistic, so I'm excited.

144
00:06:34.800 --> 00:06:38.639
Right, can you imagine? Yeah, not one band going on late.

145
00:06:38.839 --> 00:06:43.680
Nothing nothing more scared fearful than soundcheck not going well

146
00:06:43.839 --> 00:06:46.160
or underprepared. So that sounds great.

147
00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:48.720
And like sound was perfect there. I don't know of

148
00:06:48.839 --> 00:06:51.439
one band that had a sound problem, and that is

149
00:06:51.480 --> 00:06:53.879
the nightmare for bands. I don't think people realize when

150
00:06:53.920 --> 00:06:56.879
they go to festivals it's not your sound people, So.

151
00:06:56.920 --> 00:06:59.040
It's nightmare fuel Yeah for sure.

152
00:06:59.160 --> 00:07:02.839
Absolutely, Yeah, they're perfection, So you will be very happy

153
00:07:02.879 --> 00:07:03.160
with that.

154
00:07:03.160 --> 00:07:04.680
Sweet that's great. That's great.

155
00:07:04.920 --> 00:07:06.879
Is there anything else you want to tell the listeners

156
00:07:06.920 --> 00:07:08.600
that you got going on that they need to know

157
00:07:08.639 --> 00:07:09.560
about or look for.

158
00:07:09.920 --> 00:07:11.959
Yeah, I mean, you know, well we have all these

159
00:07:11.959 --> 00:07:14.800
shows coming up. We'll be doing some state wide touring

160
00:07:14.879 --> 00:07:17.399
in the near future too. Can announce what. Yeah, but

161
00:07:17.439 --> 00:07:20.959
we have stuff in in motion, and you know we

162
00:07:21.079 --> 00:07:23.399

163
00:07:23.480 --> 00:07:25.439
did could just come out, but you know we already are.

164
00:07:25.959 --> 00:07:29.079
The riffs are coming, so you know you can expect

165
00:07:29.079 --> 00:07:30.560
more stuff from us sooner than later.

166
00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:34.360
And you guys all as a band, how would you

167
00:07:34.439 --> 00:07:37.959
describe yourself? Like your your relationship, Are you like a

168
00:07:38.040 --> 00:07:39.360
family or you like.

169
00:07:40.079 --> 00:07:42.160
Yeah, I mean we're all we're all just homies, you know,

170
00:07:42.279 --> 00:07:46.160
like me and our singer Taylor live together. I'm a producer,

171
00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:49.639
so you know, I produced his last his other bands albums,

172
00:07:49.759 --> 00:07:53.000
and Alijandro is just a good friend of ours. We're

173
00:07:53.040 --> 00:07:55.319
all super big fans of his aside from being in

174
00:07:55.319 --> 00:07:57.720
a band with him or anything. You know, we're all

175
00:07:57.759 --> 00:08:00.680
like just think he's amazing as a musician. You know,

176
00:08:00.720 --> 00:08:03.120
he got second in American Idol and like he's just

177
00:08:03.120 --> 00:08:05.399
a hardcore kid from Pomona I've known for a long time,

178
00:08:06.160 --> 00:08:08.959
so and Chavo. Obviously, being in a band with someone

179
00:08:08.959 --> 00:08:10.639
from System of a Down is like, you know, we're

180
00:08:10.680 --> 00:08:12.959
all like his little brothers at this point. You know,

181
00:08:13.040 --> 00:08:14.680
who wouldn't want to be in a band with someone

182
00:08:14.800 --> 00:08:16.920
you looked up to growing up? You know, it's definitely

183
00:08:17.000 --> 00:08:19.560
like a privileged thing that none of us really take

184
00:08:19.639 --> 00:08:21.959
lightly that we all are very stoked to be here

185
00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:23.839
and very stoked to be playing music with him, you know.

186
00:08:24.199 --> 00:08:26.879
And you know, these guys have a lot of respect

187
00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:29.959
for you guys because to play with you guys.

188
00:08:29.680 --> 00:08:32.440
He doesn't have to do this exactly, he's in System

189
00:08:32.440 --> 00:08:35.000
of a Down. Like they would headline this, they would

190
00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:37.519
There's not a thing on the planet they would not headline,

191
00:08:37.559 --> 00:08:39.639
you know, exactly, There's not a probably a band on

192
00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:42.039
the planet they would play after at this point in

193
00:08:42.039 --> 00:08:43.279
their career, you know, career, right.

194
00:08:43.440 --> 00:08:48.320
I remember seeing them Aftershock and every song for the

195
00:08:48.440 --> 00:08:53.559
whole set, the whole place sang every single word.

196
00:08:54.039 --> 00:08:56.360
Yeah, you know, they're just lightning in a bottle like

197
00:08:56.399 --> 00:08:59.639
that right where I could rave about how much I

198
00:08:59.639 --> 00:09:03.360
love and have love System forever. So being in a band,

199
00:09:03.399 --> 00:09:05.279
you know, with him and just getting to write riffs

200
00:09:05.279 --> 00:09:08.120
with him and songs with him. We all are super

201
00:09:08.120 --> 00:09:08.919
stoked about it.

202
00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:10.240
So that's very cool.

203
00:09:10.279 --> 00:09:12.480
And the fact he stoked on this, you know, is

204
00:09:12.840 --> 00:09:13.279
so cool.

205
00:09:13.559 --> 00:09:16.320
I love it. Let's talk about your tats because you

206
00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:19.840
got it's funny. Your pants that you're wearing look like

207
00:09:19.879 --> 00:09:21.120
they go with.

208
00:09:21.000 --> 00:09:24.679
Your tats, the Lorna Shore Real Tree camos right.

209
00:09:24.600 --> 00:09:27.000
Like it goes with this arm. Yeah, the match is

210
00:09:27.039 --> 00:09:28.159
pretty good kind of does.

211
00:09:28.279 --> 00:09:28.480
Right.

212
00:09:28.679 --> 00:09:31.639
So where did you start cause you got a lot there.

213
00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:34.519
Yeah. I got my first one around sixteen. I got

214
00:09:34.559 --> 00:09:39.080
this little punk rock pirate flag. Oh nice. Yeah, I

215
00:09:39.159 --> 00:09:41.639
know how it started. Well, I mean, I've just drawn

216
00:09:41.679 --> 00:09:43.159
on my body since I was a kid. I kind

217
00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:45.039
of knew I wanted tattoo since I was a kid,

218
00:09:45.080 --> 00:09:47.759
and just saw people like Travis Barker and you know

219
00:09:47.840 --> 00:09:49.440
stuff like that growing up where I was like, oh,

220
00:09:49.480 --> 00:09:52.279
I don't want to be like that. But really, my

221
00:09:52.440 --> 00:09:54.240
parents just kind of made a deal with me when

222
00:09:54.279 --> 00:09:56.720
I was like sixteen, like, well, if you get straight a's,

223
00:09:56.759 --> 00:09:58.440
you can you can get a tattoo.

224
00:09:58.600 --> 00:09:58.919
Wow.

225
00:09:59.039 --> 00:10:02.039
And they just under I'm probably underestimated. They feel like

226
00:10:02.120 --> 00:10:04.240
you weren't good to it, and I was like, okay,

227
00:10:04.960 --> 00:10:07.080
so I did it, and I was they had they

228
00:10:07.120 --> 00:10:08.159
had to follow up on it.

229
00:10:08.320 --> 00:10:10.480
Yeah, you guys have the right incentive.

230
00:10:10.879 --> 00:10:11.360
Yeah, you know.

231
00:10:12.320 --> 00:10:18.960
And which would you say hurt the most? Uh, your head?

232
00:10:19.759 --> 00:10:20.120
Your head.

233
00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:22.639
I was thinking that's guy hurt because like I've even

234
00:10:22.679 --> 00:10:27.039
gotten acupuncture by my helper there. Yeah, and then just

235
00:10:27.039 --> 00:10:30.039
here her night, she's poke in my head and I'm like,

236
00:10:30.399 --> 00:10:31.320
I fucking hurt.

237
00:10:31.759 --> 00:10:34.200
Yeah, yeah, dude, get in your head. Tattooed is not

238
00:10:34.360 --> 00:10:37.679
a walk in the park. I wouldn't if anyone asked me, like, oh,

239
00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:39.840
I'm honest. You know, it hurt. It hurts. It hurt

240
00:10:39.960 --> 00:10:42.120
really bad. But it's permanent haircut, you know. And I've

241
00:10:42.120 --> 00:10:44.519
always kind of wanted to have like a full head tattoo.

242
00:10:44.519 --> 00:10:46.000
I just always thought it was cool. It's not really

243
00:10:46.039 --> 00:10:50.039
anything too deep. It's more just like I guess it

244
00:10:50.159 --> 00:10:51.960
kind of comes down to whether, like you know, you

245
00:10:52.039 --> 00:10:54.200
kind of think your body's a canvas or not, and

246
00:10:55.039 --> 00:10:56.440
I think I think it is.

247
00:10:56.399 --> 00:10:57.960
And it's the ultimate canvass.

248
00:10:58.039 --> 00:11:00.279
Yeah. I just I just I just like tattoos, you know.

249
00:11:00.399 --> 00:11:03.799
It's really all of them have some level of meaning

250
00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:06.480
to them, you know, whether it's just like something funny

251
00:11:06.600 --> 00:11:10.279
and like nonsense or something more personal. But yeah, it's

252
00:11:10.279 --> 00:11:12.919
not something I'm like, it's not my identity, you know,

253
00:11:13.039 --> 00:11:15.320
like I've always kind of fund yeah it's not my

254
00:11:15.480 --> 00:11:18.360
I just have tattoos. But it's not really like I'm

255
00:11:18.360 --> 00:11:21.399
not like, oh like everything about me is tattoos. You know,

256
00:11:21.440 --> 00:11:22.840
It's just I just have them.

257
00:11:22.919 --> 00:11:23.679
See I love that.

258
00:11:23.879 --> 00:11:26.200
Yeah, you know because I'm making a big deal about it.

259
00:11:26.600 --> 00:11:28.799
That's just you're doing because you want to do it.

260
00:11:28.840 --> 00:11:29.399
And that's it.

261
00:11:29.480 --> 00:11:31.799
That's really it, you know, it's really it's really it.

262
00:11:31.799 --> 00:11:32.559
It's not that deep.

263
00:11:33.039 --> 00:11:34.720
Is the significance to the wolf.

264
00:11:35.679 --> 00:11:38.480
Yeah, there's a couple of things with it. One, I

265
00:11:38.559 --> 00:11:40.360
like the style of art a lot that it is,

266
00:11:40.720 --> 00:11:45.519
the kind of Colorado gas station T shirt sort of vibe,

267
00:11:45.559 --> 00:11:48.840
you know, that's kind of the style of it. Two,

268
00:11:49.159 --> 00:11:51.639
it's just been like a kind of like joking spirit

269
00:11:51.679 --> 00:11:54.120
animal a mind since I was a little kid, just

270
00:11:54.200 --> 00:11:57.120
like jokes my grandparents and stuff would make about me

271
00:11:57.159 --> 00:12:00.399
being like a little wolf troublemaker thing, you know, right,

272
00:12:00.440 --> 00:12:05.039
And there's interesting like just lore behind wolves. And yeah, honestly,

273
00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:06.679
more than anything, I like the way it looks.

274
00:12:06.919 --> 00:12:10.600
I got a story where you'll love Okay. So I'm

275
00:12:10.600 --> 00:12:13.320
originally from New Jersey. My brother was living up in

276
00:12:13.360 --> 00:12:15.679
the mountains in New Jersey and he had a pet wolf.

277
00:12:15.960 --> 00:12:20.240
Coo Okay. One night, I was outside smoking a cigarette

278
00:12:20.360 --> 00:12:23.200
and like, it's dark it we're up in the mountains.

279
00:12:23.240 --> 00:12:28.639
There's no light and Dakota, that's the wolf's name, was

280
00:12:28.679 --> 00:12:31.519
in its pen and it was huffing and puffing and

281
00:12:31.559 --> 00:12:34.159
going back and forth and never did that. Like we

282
00:12:34.279 --> 00:12:36.960
used to take the wolf for a walk and it

283
00:12:37.039 --> 00:12:40.000
never did that. I'm like, why is Dakota freaking out?

284
00:12:40.399 --> 00:12:43.039
So I heeded the warning. Whatever it was. I didn't

285
00:12:43.080 --> 00:12:48.000
know what was going on. Something told me go inside.

286
00:12:48.240 --> 00:12:52.159
There was a bear right by me, and the wolf

287
00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:55.960
was warning me, Wow, get the fuck out.

288
00:12:56.159 --> 00:12:57.720
That's so good. I was gonna guess. I was wondering

289
00:12:57.759 --> 00:13:01.600
if it was a bear, you know, yeah, the scariest animal.

290
00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:04.240
And I wouldn't have seen it, no, you know, like,

291
00:13:04.480 --> 00:13:06.679
and the wolf was like warning me, like, get the

292
00:13:06.679 --> 00:13:07.279
fuck out of it.

293
00:13:07.440 --> 00:13:10.759
Yeah, yeah, dude, shout out to that wolf right saved

294
00:13:10.759 --> 00:13:12.200
your ass exactly.

295
00:13:12.279 --> 00:13:14.840
So when I see that tattoo, I'm like, they are

296
00:13:15.080 --> 00:13:19.600
majestic animal, and I think a lot of people misconstrue

297
00:13:20.240 --> 00:13:20.720
the wolves.

298
00:13:20.759 --> 00:13:22.879
Yeah, I mean, I'm and everyone loves dogs, you know,

299
00:13:23.000 --> 00:13:25.080
and I have a lot of wolves and like raven

300
00:13:25.120 --> 00:13:27.080
tattoos and stuff, and they are like a really interesting

301
00:13:27.159 --> 00:13:30.519
hunting hair, you know, like they they help each other

302
00:13:30.600 --> 00:13:32.399
hunt and stuff. I always thought that was kind of cool.

303
00:13:32.759 --> 00:13:35.200
I grew up like really close to a native reservation.

304
00:13:35.320 --> 00:13:39.200
My dad grew up on Apache Reservation in northern New Mexico.

305
00:13:39.639 --> 00:13:42.600
So there's like little little family jokes in there too

306
00:13:42.639 --> 00:13:44.960
with it. So it's not really anything too crazy, you know.

307
00:13:45.080 --> 00:13:48.080
Face tattoos are pretty normal nowadays. And yeah, I'm a

308
00:13:48.159 --> 00:13:50.559
musician and music producer, so like I can afford, I can.

309
00:13:50.960 --> 00:13:53.399
It doesn't matter, you know, it's a it's I'm not

310
00:13:53.440 --> 00:13:56.320
gonna miss out on you anyway.

311
00:13:56.600 --> 00:14:00.440
You know, you gotta be you. And basically, what was

312
00:14:00.480 --> 00:14:02.840
I going to say? There's something about what were you saying?

313
00:14:02.879 --> 00:14:05.720
What other animal were you talking? Oh? The raven? The

314
00:14:05.799 --> 00:14:11.200
raven trivia question? Do you know? Well, not really question,

315
00:14:11.360 --> 00:14:14.960
but did you know that ravens have this like gang

316
00:14:15.080 --> 00:14:19.399
mentality and that superior memory? So if you like twenty

317
00:14:19.480 --> 00:14:22.639
years ago, fucked with a raider, remember you they will remember.

318
00:14:23.120 --> 00:14:25.240
Yeah, it's one of the smartest animals on the planet.

319
00:14:25.399 --> 00:14:28.759
I have one that comes onto my balcony and just

320
00:14:29.120 --> 00:14:32.519
hangs out with me like and just hangs there like

321
00:14:32.679 --> 00:14:36.120
every day. That's cool, right, because I didn't piss him off,

322
00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:40.679
and I'd rather have him on my side exactly. Look
