00:00:51.960 --> 00:00:57.079
four C Y Radio. And we're
going again across the pond for some great
7
00:00:57.240 --> 00:01:00.719
music. So let's welcome to the
show. Connor from Spider Bite, how
8
00:01:00.759 --> 00:01:04.840
are you. I'm good? Thanks
pipe Man? How are you? I'm
9
00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:11.640
doing good. I'm in South Florida. That band name wouldn't work so well
10
00:01:11.959 --> 00:01:17.680
here because we have some of the
most dangerous, deadly spiders in the world
11
00:01:18.040 --> 00:01:23.799
all here waiting for us. Yeah. We've not got too many big ones
12
00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:26.879
around here. Thankfully it's all safe
in the UK. Yeah. So we
13
00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:30.280
have the black widows, which everybody
knows. We have a brown and we
14
00:01:30.359 --> 00:01:36.560
have the brown recluse, which will
eat your flesh. But then we have
15
00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:41.799
these things called banana spiders, and
they are up in the trees and when
16
00:01:41.799 --> 00:01:49.959
you're like walking through a park and
they're about the size of let's see,
17
00:01:51.040 --> 00:01:57.799
they're probably about like I would say, the size of a a little bigger
18
00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:02.959
than a softball. That sounds horrifying, right, biggest one I've seen is
19
00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:07.120
probably about the size of my thumb
over here, right, Yeah. Can
20
00:02:07.199 --> 00:02:13.120
you imagine like you're walking and you
know above you, like some big spider
21
00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:16.400
like that could just jump down onn't
you? Yes, Yeah, I don't
22
00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:20.360
fancy that. No, that's just
spider bit. You don't want. You
23
00:02:20.439 --> 00:02:25.680
want spider baits from the UK,
not from Florida. That's it. But
24
00:02:27.719 --> 00:02:30.560
yeah, so tell our listeners a
little bit about spider bait. What you
25
00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:35.439
guys are all about, how you
would describe yourself as an artist, all
26
00:02:35.479 --> 00:02:42.120
that good stuff. Yes, So
we've actually been going for twelve years this
27
00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:46.639
year. We started when we were
all kids in high school. We were
28
00:02:46.759 --> 00:02:50.719
I think I was fifteen. I
was one of the older members of the
29
00:02:50.759 --> 00:02:55.280
band at the time. Nice.
But we classify ourselves as Slee's Metal,
30
00:02:55.919 --> 00:03:02.039
glam metal, So we take a
lot of influence from the Sunset Strip of
31
00:03:02.240 --> 00:03:06.879
the old La bands. We love
Motley Crue, we love Rat Warren,
32
00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:10.319
twisted cysts. That's that's all our
stuff. But we like to we like
33
00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:14.919
to put a bit of a UK
Motorhead sort of feel to it as well.
34
00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:20.199
So I love that we're trying to
appeal to as many people on the
35
00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:23.080
dirty side of rock and roll as
we can. There you go, Well,
36
00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:31.520
see, because everything you just said
I love and hate you. Let
37
00:03:31.599 --> 00:03:38.400
me explain why I am from those
eighties Sunset Strip days. Okay, So
38
00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:43.039
anybody that's from those days, it's
a love hate relationship with it anyway.
39
00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:47.759
But yeah, I mean when I
go back. Okay. So the first
40
00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:53.319
club show I ever went to,
all right, I moved out from New
41
00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:59.120
Jersey to LA in nineteen eighty,
Like that was the perfect timing to move
42
00:03:59.199 --> 00:04:01.719
out there. I was, It's
like thirteen years old, so I was
43
00:04:01.800 --> 00:04:08.319
there for the whole start at a
scene, beginning, middle and all of
44
00:04:08.439 --> 00:04:12.639
it. And the first club show
I ever went to was at the Roxy
45
00:04:12.719 --> 00:04:15.759
on the Sunset Strip. It was
Motley Cruze before they even had an album,
46
00:04:16.759 --> 00:04:21.040
and they were more like horror punk
then. They weren't really glam yet,
47
00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:27.319
but it was the I remember walking
out of there and I'm like,
48
00:04:27.519 --> 00:04:30.800
I'm never going to a real concert
ever again, because it was just the
49
00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:36.759
whole experience, and that was the
whole experience for the next four years for
50
00:04:36.920 --> 00:04:41.720
me on the Sunset Strip, it
was like going to all these shows with
51
00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:46.639
you know, you had all the
la glam bands. But then I also
52
00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:50.879
got into bands like Slayer, Metallica
went to their like first shows every So
53
00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:57.600
that's where the hate comes in because
Okay, I can see your point of
54
00:04:57.680 --> 00:05:01.000
view that right, because like then
it wasn't like now, okay, you
55
00:05:01.079 --> 00:05:05.040
had the gatekeepers, okay, And
I always thought it was stupid that none
56
00:05:05.079 --> 00:05:09.040
of us got along. You know, you could go along with the GLAMs.
57
00:05:09.319 --> 00:05:12.399
If you were a thrash metal head, you couldn't go along with the
58
00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:15.480
punks. If you liked metal,
the punks couldn't go along with metal heads.
59
00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:18.480
And I just saw it was all
stupid. I'm glad we're all together
60
00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:27.000
now because you know, it's just
all great music and it's all we're all
61
00:05:27.160 --> 00:05:30.160
kind of outsiders, so we all
should have been on the inside instead of
62
00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:35.639
creating more outside. And it wasn't
interesting. Like my friends after, you
63
00:05:35.720 --> 00:05:40.879
know, it's getting into Slayer and
stuff like that. We're like my one
64
00:05:41.079 --> 00:05:44.480
friend who was like, uh,
yeah, you need to burn all that
65
00:05:44.639 --> 00:05:50.000
Montley Cruise shit. Like I'm not
burning it either. You're doing it or
66
00:05:50.079 --> 00:05:54.759
I'm doing it, but you know, we can't have that around here.
67
00:05:55.120 --> 00:05:57.639
And it was it was funny back
in the days. He went to a
68
00:05:57.720 --> 00:06:01.000
Slayer show and you know, if
somebody was wearing Motley Cruse shirt in the
69
00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:05.399
audience, they would you would rip
it off their back, throw it up
70
00:06:05.439 --> 00:06:12.079
to Tom on stage and he would
burn it on stage, right. So
71
00:06:12.279 --> 00:06:15.079
that's where that all comes from.
But it was also some of the listen
72
00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:18.120
some of the best times ever.
So I'm glad a band like you is
73
00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:25.560
keeping that alive because and even when
you said the Motorhead thing, because you
74
00:06:25.639 --> 00:06:28.759
know, you had the combination hanging
out with all these glam bands on the
75
00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:31.399
Sunset Strip when I was like fifteen
years old, and then going over to
76
00:06:31.560 --> 00:06:36.199
Rainbow, like you would walk over
with the band to the Rainbow because I
77
00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:40.639
wondered how I got in there,
or being fifteen, that's how. And
78
00:06:40.759 --> 00:06:43.079
then you'd be hanging out next thing, you know, you're hanging out with
79
00:06:43.199 --> 00:06:46.600
Lemmy because he was always at the
Rainbow, so yeah, I mean he
80
00:06:46.839 --> 00:06:53.720
wasn't yeah, and it was he
was like one of the most incredible human
81
00:06:53.800 --> 00:06:58.000
beings too, you know, and
the epitome of a rock star. And
82
00:06:58.439 --> 00:07:02.079
really that's what that whole was about, just the whole rock star lifestyle,
83
00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:10.680
which that part I love because that's
a lost thing nowadays, except for guys
84
00:07:10.759 --> 00:07:14.439
like you keeping alive. Well,
well, we try our best, and
85
00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:18.000
it's you know, just going back
to Motorhead, you say about, you
86
00:07:18.079 --> 00:07:23.199
know, all these different genres of
heavy metal coming through in the eighties and
87
00:07:23.439 --> 00:07:26.759
nineties, the one band. I
mean, we're exactly the same. We
88
00:07:27.160 --> 00:07:30.120
play the glam stuff, but we
all listen to different different sorts of music.
89
00:07:30.279 --> 00:07:35.279
Our singer is massively into Slayer,
funnily enough, and I'm more into
90
00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:40.800
the kind of European speed metal stuff
I like, except and Halloween things like
91
00:07:40.920 --> 00:07:46.560
that. But everybody too meets in
the middle at Motorhead. I don't know
92
00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:51.360
anybody who dislikes Motorhead, right,
That's what brought the punts, That's what
93
00:07:51.600 --> 00:07:56.079
brought the punks together too, you
know, like it with the metal.
94
00:07:57.000 --> 00:08:01.720
You know, he united all of
us, and that was one I think
95
00:08:01.879 --> 00:08:11.879
that's his legacy more than the music. Yeah, so what twelve years ago,
96
00:08:11.040 --> 00:08:18.279
what was it that kind of gave
you this idea to go to this
97
00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:24.040
type of music? Because listen,
we know a lot of it kind of
98
00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:28.959
died out after the eighties and you
know, in the nineties. But you
99
00:08:28.040 --> 00:08:33.960
know, the interesting thing is it's
like you got Steel Panther nowadays, that
100
00:08:33.960 --> 00:08:39.000
there is not one metal head,
no matter what metal they listen to,
101
00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:43.480
that doesn't love Steel Panther. Like
I've sat there and watched Corey Taylor watching
102
00:08:43.799 --> 00:08:48.279
from Slipknot watching Steel Panther and having
the best time. I mean, you've
103
00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:52.799
got a lot of Steel Panther,
haven't you. Yeah, tongue in cheek,
104
00:08:52.919 --> 00:08:56.240
but it's it's good fun. And
their quality musicians as well, they're
105
00:08:56.279 --> 00:09:03.799
all so good. Yeah. Really, I mean we all we all met
106
00:09:03.840 --> 00:09:05.759
as mates at school. Really,
we all played. We used to play
107
00:09:05.799 --> 00:09:09.799
in like a covers band. We
used to do you know, ac DC,
108
00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:13.759
Metallica, bits in Nirvana, you
know, the easy my first rock
109
00:09:13.799 --> 00:09:18.759
and roll band kind of songs.
Right. How it got to the kind
110
00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:24.039
of sleazy glammy stuff and at such
a young age is it's really just through
111
00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:31.559
raiding our parents' record collections. Really
nice. I think Nathan who's you know,
112
00:09:31.639 --> 00:09:35.720
he's the main songwriter of the band. He is always for as long
113
00:09:35.759 --> 00:09:39.840
as I've known him, has always
loved Motley Crue and we kind of got
114
00:09:39.879 --> 00:09:43.759
on from there just looking through you
know, the old Vinyl records in blowing
115
00:09:43.799 --> 00:09:48.639
the dust off and one of the
ones that really turned me on was the
116
00:09:48.919 --> 00:09:56.360
Tiger Tows album Berserk from Wales,
which was you know, and I went
117
00:09:56.399 --> 00:10:01.639
onto YouTube, as you can of
our generation watch these this video of all
118
00:10:01.720 --> 00:10:07.000
this glitter of big hair and pink, and for some reason, it's it
119
00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:09.840
just appealed to us. And I
mean take from that what you will.
120
00:10:11.879 --> 00:10:16.799
Well, I mean, listen,
it is a lot of fun and music
121
00:10:16.879 --> 00:10:22.240
should be fun, and I think
that's where it's better nowadays and back in
122
00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:26.639
the day, because that that gatekeeper
attitude and taking things way too seriously is
123
00:10:26.679 --> 00:10:30.799
come on, it's music. It's
just supposed to be fun. There's not
124
00:10:30.919 --> 00:10:33.320
supposed to be a rules, right. You just do what you feel.
125
00:10:33.159 --> 00:10:37.320
You like what you like, don't
you exactly, And it's okay to like
126
00:10:37.559 --> 00:10:43.159
more than one thing, you know. And that's the thing too that I
127
00:10:43.240 --> 00:10:46.240
think is cool nowadays. Bands like
you and you even said it, you
128
00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:50.120
know, you blend your kind of
influences to come up with your unique sound
129
00:10:50.200 --> 00:10:56.720
and it doesn't have to sound like
this specific genre. It just has to
130
00:10:56.799 --> 00:11:00.720
be good. Music and good fun. That's my opinion. Yeah, yeah,
131
00:11:00.840 --> 00:11:07.159
and I totally agree with that.
So you basically, you guys just
132
00:11:07.919 --> 00:11:16.320
dropped Hooked back in July, which
is definitely a banger, and you just
133
00:11:16.480 --> 00:11:24.159
dropped your your new EP, The
Taste of Filth, and I've listened to
134
00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:28.759
the whole thing and every one of
them's a banger there. So what do
135
00:11:28.879 --> 00:11:33.360
you think your difference is in your
writing style now and your ability to write
136
00:11:33.399 --> 00:11:37.360
great music compared to twelve years ago? I think, to be totally honest,
137
00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:41.759
it's just getting older, a bit
more experience, a bit more,
138
00:11:41.840 --> 00:11:46.600
a bit more understanding of the music. Really. You know, twelve years
139
00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:54.159
ago we were writing very basic songs
about things that we didn't really understand.
140
00:11:54.360 --> 00:11:58.919
You know, we were fourteen fifteen
between us, so you know, kids
141
00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:03.639
writing songs about sex, drugs and
rock and roll. It doesn't really doesn't
142
00:12:03.679 --> 00:12:05.720
really show through. So well,
right, yeah, I think it's just
143
00:12:05.759 --> 00:12:09.080
to be we've just got a bit
older, bit more matured. We've understood
144
00:12:09.200 --> 00:12:13.600
that we could write in lots of
different styles now, you know, we've
145
00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:16.120
all listened to all sorts of different
kinds of music, and hey, you
146
00:12:16.200 --> 00:12:20.759
know, not even just rock and
metal music all sorts of things that you
147
00:12:20.840 --> 00:12:26.600
know, you can throw everything in
and what works works. So yeah,
148
00:12:26.679 --> 00:12:33.440
those four tracks, they I think
that's kind of I won't ever say the
149
00:12:33.519 --> 00:12:37.440
peak because there's only up to go, but I think it's the best we've
150
00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:41.360
released so far, and I'm personally
looking really forward to getting all the new
151
00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:46.039
stuff out as well. Yeah,
and you know what, you made some
152
00:12:46.200 --> 00:12:50.240
great points there, because I think
that is wind of benefit to getting older,
153
00:12:50.200 --> 00:12:54.440
is that you're not as much in
even yourself a gatekeeper like. You
154
00:12:54.559 --> 00:13:01.679
have a lot more influencers that you
allow in, and I think you expand
155
00:13:01.879 --> 00:13:09.559
your creativity and experimenting in your music
because you feel like, hey, I
156
00:13:09.639 --> 00:13:13.919
can just do whatever I feel instead
of whatever somebody says I should do.
157
00:13:15.600 --> 00:13:18.120
Yeah, that's exactly it, you
know, coloring outside the lines as it
158
00:13:18.200 --> 00:13:22.279
were. It's yeah, you're right, there are no rules. We can
159
00:13:22.320 --> 00:13:26.279
write whatever we want, and I
mean, we want other people to think
160
00:13:26.360 --> 00:13:30.519
it sounds good, but the first
judges yourself, isn't it so right?
161
00:13:31.200 --> 00:13:35.159
Yeah? Exactly, because listen,
if you don't like it, how's anybody
162
00:13:35.200 --> 00:13:41.320
else going to like it? Absolutely? Absolutely your own worst critic. But
163
00:13:41.440 --> 00:13:46.840
I think that's a good thing.
It definitely is because listen, at the
164
00:13:46.000 --> 00:13:48.639
end of the day, you have
to write music for you and if other
165
00:13:48.759 --> 00:13:56.360
people connect to it, that's a
bonus absolutely. So what else you have
166
00:13:56.559 --> 00:14:00.320
going on for the rest of the
year and maybe in twenty twenty for that
167
00:14:00.399 --> 00:14:03.240
you want to talk about and let
the listeners know. So twenty twenty four
168
00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:09.559
you can absolutely expect some new music. We've we've got straight back into writing
169
00:14:09.200 --> 00:14:13.159
because for the back end of this
year we're actually quite quiet. We've got
170
00:14:13.279 --> 00:14:18.039
we've got a couple of gigs hearing
about in the UK coming up, but
171
00:14:18.440 --> 00:14:22.679
the main focus right now is back
into the studio, back into writing for
172
00:14:22.759 --> 00:14:26.519
the next record. You know,
we're hoping to actually get a full album
173
00:14:26.559 --> 00:14:31.480
out next year and hopefully actually break
into Europe as well. You know,
174
00:14:33.240 --> 00:14:37.039
it's only on our doorstep and in
twelve years we've never played a gig outside
175
00:14:37.039 --> 00:14:43.200
of the UK, so that we'll
try and go into national and tradits if
176
00:14:43.240 --> 00:14:46.200
you'll have us. Yeah, I
mean that trips me out because you know
177
00:14:46.279 --> 00:14:48.519
what else I find as well,
Like you guys would feel in great in
178
00:14:48.639 --> 00:14:54.559
Europe because the first time I started
going to Europe to cover music festivals and
179
00:14:54.600 --> 00:14:58.840
stuff, because I go and I
go on tour and cover music festivals all
180
00:14:58.840 --> 00:15:03.399
over the US Europe. And when
I first started doing Europe, I'm like,
181
00:15:03.440 --> 00:15:07.159
man, I thought all these bands
were gone, Like all the bands
182
00:15:07.200 --> 00:15:09.639
that I knew from back in the
eighties, I thought they were all gone.
183
00:15:09.759 --> 00:15:13.799
But they've just been playing in Europe
all these years because the Europeans.
184
00:15:16.519 --> 00:15:22.240
Oh yeah, the Europeans love the
eighties stuff, like it's still like huge,
185
00:15:22.879 --> 00:15:26.600
and so yeah, you definitely need
to get over to Europe for sure.
186
00:15:26.120 --> 00:15:30.759
Yeah, that's the plan, definitely. And we need to get you
187
00:15:30.879 --> 00:15:35.240
on some festivals over here too.
Oh do you know what? We would
188
00:15:35.480 --> 00:15:39.360
love to come over that that's the
dream really is a breaking into the US.
189
00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:45.440
It's so wild to me too,
because like, okay, so back
190
00:15:45.519 --> 00:15:48.320
in the day, back in the
eighties, it was our dream to go
191
00:15:48.440 --> 00:15:54.480
to London, you know, because
that's where the scene was, you know,
192
00:15:54.000 --> 00:16:00.679
and it's it's so funny and like
we had the British invasion originally and
193
00:16:00.759 --> 00:16:04.120
then you had the punk thing,
and I love it. It's so great.
194
00:16:04.200 --> 00:16:10.080
When I talked to all my UK
mates and that are in bands and
195
00:16:10.440 --> 00:16:12.960
their dream is to come play in
the US, it just goes to show
196
00:16:12.960 --> 00:16:17.639
no matter where you are, you
look somewhere else and go I want to
197
00:16:17.679 --> 00:16:22.360
go there. That's it, isn't
it. You just want to travel the
198
00:16:22.399 --> 00:16:26.600
world in US, Japan, anywhere, in Europe. I'd go anywhere,
199
00:16:26.639 --> 00:16:30.080
to be honest, anywhere. We'll
give me a pair of drumsticks and a
200
00:16:30.159 --> 00:16:33.840
kit. I'll be there. There
you go. So when did you first
201
00:16:33.919 --> 00:16:41.639
pick up your first pair of drumsticks? Good question? A long time ago,
202
00:16:41.919 --> 00:16:47.759
right, I would have been I'm
twenty seven now, I would have
203
00:16:47.840 --> 00:16:51.279
been about eleven, I think,
so, yeah, about sixteen years ago.
204
00:16:52.080 --> 00:16:56.080
Nice. Well, hats off to
you because I started playing drums when
205
00:16:56.120 --> 00:17:03.599
I was in first grade and I
sucked. So instead I interview cool,
206
00:17:03.880 --> 00:17:10.240
good drummers like you instead of sucky
drummers like me, I'll bless you what
207
00:17:10.839 --> 00:17:15.160
everyone sucks for a bit? Right? Right? Yeah? You know what
208
00:17:15.680 --> 00:17:19.400
it is? You really to me? And you guys have this. You
209
00:17:19.559 --> 00:17:25.240
have to have a passion for it, beyond a passion for it. Like
210
00:17:25.599 --> 00:17:27.480
it's like, you know, you
look at guy and you're probably like this
211
00:17:27.599 --> 00:17:33.400
too. You look at guys like
Tommy Lee and he's drumming like twenty four
212
00:17:33.400 --> 00:17:37.160
to seven, Like seeing at table
he's drumming, you know, and that's
213
00:17:37.319 --> 00:17:41.200
kind of it's either in you where
it's not. And I dug it,
214
00:17:41.400 --> 00:17:47.200
but I don't think I put enough
into it because I didn't maybe didn't have
215
00:17:47.359 --> 00:17:52.200
passion to that level, you know, had passion for the music and the
216
00:17:52.559 --> 00:17:56.839
concept of it. But to be
a true drummer like you, it's like
217
00:17:56.079 --> 00:18:00.039
you live and breathe it. Well, I am to be honest, and
218
00:18:00.400 --> 00:18:04.759
I know every drummer I know is
the same. My other half, my
219
00:18:06.160 --> 00:18:11.119
soon to be wife, gets the
real lump with me because it is I'll
220
00:18:11.160 --> 00:18:14.680
be sitting on the sofa on the
couch, just tapping away on my knees.
221
00:18:14.680 --> 00:18:18.279
She's just like, oh, well, you just shut up. I
222
00:18:18.319 --> 00:18:22.960
don't even realize I'm doing it right. Oh then I love hearing it.
223
00:18:22.400 --> 00:18:26.400
So how do people connect to you
guys? On socials? On the web,
224
00:18:26.680 --> 00:18:30.000
check out your music and anything else
you want to check out. So
225
00:18:30.799 --> 00:18:33.680
music, the best place, well, the best place for us is to
226
00:18:33.799 --> 00:18:40.359
go onto our website, which is
www. Dot spider Bite band, dot
227
00:18:40.440 --> 00:18:42.160
co dot UK. No, that's
a bit of a mouthful. That's the
228
00:18:42.240 --> 00:18:48.839
best one we could get. And
you can buy our music on their download
229
00:18:48.000 --> 00:18:52.759
or buy it from our online store. But I do understand that CDs aren't
230
00:18:52.799 --> 00:18:56.440
as big as they used to be, so we're on Spotify, Apple Music,
231
00:18:56.640 --> 00:19:03.680
Amazon, ds are all the big
online retailers. But yeah, otherwise,
232
00:19:03.720 --> 00:19:04.599
if you just want to connect to
us, just have a chat.
233
00:19:04.759 --> 00:19:11.079
We're on Instagram, Facebook. We
got TikTok going. We are still learning
234
00:19:11.119 --> 00:19:15.599
how to use it, so that's
a bit past us, but we are
235
00:19:15.640 --> 00:19:18.519
getting there, so be patient with
us on that. But yeah, wherever
236
00:19:18.559 --> 00:19:22.079
you can find us, give us
a chat online. We'd love to be
237
00:19:22.160 --> 00:19:26.279
in touch. And I don't blame
you. I think the listeners should know
238
00:19:26.480 --> 00:19:30.119
that for anybody, it's not dinet. Tiktoks are not as easy as it
239
00:19:30.240 --> 00:19:34.920
looks. Okay, Like I have
a TikTok, and my hat's off to
240
00:19:36.000 --> 00:19:38.319
people that do tiktoks because I'm like, I don't have eight hours to make
241
00:19:38.359 --> 00:19:47.359
a one minute video exactly. So
I started the TikTok myself to start pushing
242
00:19:48.480 --> 00:19:52.359
the music video more than the EP
itself, And it really was. I
243
00:19:52.480 --> 00:19:57.119
was sitting there for ages learning how
to do everything right. Yeah, the
244
00:19:57.240 --> 00:20:03.160
video is thirty seconds long. I
know it's it's hard. Look no,
245
00:20:03.440 --> 00:20:07.319
no, people don't even know.
And it's like, but when I see
246
00:20:07.400 --> 00:20:10.400
great careers on TikTok, I'm like, man, more power to them.
247
00:20:10.759 --> 00:20:14.680
Like that, that in itself is
a talent. If you can use it,
248
00:20:15.000 --> 00:20:19.079
go for it right exactly. So
what I've learned by talking to bands
249
00:20:19.119 --> 00:20:23.119
though, is that if you want
to have a good TikTok has nothing to
250
00:20:23.160 --> 00:20:29.480
do with the music, just do
stupid videos. That's what they keep telling
251
00:20:29.559 --> 00:20:32.440
me. All the artists, they're
like, those are the ones that go
252
00:20:32.680 --> 00:20:36.240
viral, not are not the ones
about our music, the ones where we
253
00:20:36.440 --> 00:20:41.480
just do stupid shit. Yeah,
maybe off to try that. There you
254
00:20:41.559 --> 00:20:45.079
go, there you go. Yeah, TikTok's are a lot of work,
255
00:20:45.480 --> 00:20:49.759
and you know, I think you
just need to instead of putting all that
256
00:20:49.920 --> 00:20:55.160
work in, just go out with
your blokes, get drunk and do some
257
00:20:55.319 --> 00:21:00.200
stupid videos. Just see what happens. I guess, yeah right, it
258
00:21:00.279 --> 00:21:06.400
could be like the band going out
the pubs and getting doing stupid shit.
259
00:21:07.640 --> 00:21:11.559
It would so fit in with the
type of bandyard too, Like it could
260
00:21:11.599 --> 00:21:15.680
be like whatever the equivalent to sunset
strip is where you are in the UK,
261
00:21:17.039 --> 00:21:21.039
go there and just you know,
do some crazy stuff in the different
262
00:21:21.279 --> 00:21:25.480
pubs and clubs and stuff. We'll
have to take a trip into London.
263
00:21:25.920 --> 00:21:30.039
There you go. Love it well, you guys rock. Thanks for making
264
00:21:30.119 --> 00:21:33.720
us great music. I hope all
the listeners check you out because you're badass.
265
00:21:33.799 --> 00:21:37.720
And thanks for being on the Adventures
of Pipeman. Thank you for having
