00:01:05.359 --> 00:01:10.480
I was noticing you guys out there, especially you. I'm like, oh, look,

12
00:01:10.959 --> 00:01:18.640
the Misfits are coming in so rock Lahoma. How badass

13
00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:19.599
is that that?

14
00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:22.560
It's crazy? This is our first year playing Rockahoma.

15
00:01:22.799 --> 00:01:26.280
Wow? What what was the road that led to oak

16
00:01:26.359 --> 00:01:27.200
and Rock Oklahoma.

17
00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:31.680
It's just basically just like, oh, there we go.

18
00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:32.400
Yeah.

19
00:01:33.079 --> 00:01:35.480
Basically it's just like hard work and dedication and just

20
00:01:35.599 --> 00:01:38.040
like you know, sacrifices and.

21
00:01:38.959 --> 00:01:40.799
A lot of long nights, man, a lot of long

22
00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:43.640
nights planning and preparing for stuff like this, and a

23
00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:46.439
lot of empty venues and yeah, paying your dues man.

24
00:01:46.599 --> 00:01:49.799
Just you know, That's why I like to talk about

25
00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:52.439
this stuff, because you know how people are are like, oh,

26
00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:55.200
it must be so easy to be in a band

27
00:01:55.879 --> 00:01:58.239
and you're living the dream life. And part of it

28
00:01:58.439 --> 00:02:00.439
is you're living the dream life, and the other bar

29
00:02:00.519 --> 00:02:02.480
of it's you're living the shit life at the same

30
00:02:02.599 --> 00:02:06.560
time to get that dream life. And people don't realize

31
00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:10.960
how hard artists work. Like they think it's just you're

32
00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:15.000
playing around, But no, if you're just playing around, you'd

33
00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:17.680
be playing an instrument in your room and then going

34
00:02:17.719 --> 00:02:21.360
to some boring day job. Oh yeah, but with this,

35
00:02:22.039 --> 00:02:24.840
like you guys have to work day and night. Like

36
00:02:25.240 --> 00:02:29.479
I remember when I was learning guitar. My guitar teacher

37
00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:32.719
was like, you know at Randy Rhodes was my like idol.

38
00:02:33.080 --> 00:02:36.400
You know, he practiced eight hours a day every single day.

39
00:02:36.439 --> 00:02:39.319
I'm like, oh, well, I guess I won't be playing guitar.

40
00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:45.840
So how did it happen that you got invited to

41
00:02:45.879 --> 00:02:46.800
play at ro Ockklahoma?

42
00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:51.879
We just audition, like wow, like like we audition and

43
00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:54.680
like they're like, I think there was like a form

44
00:02:54.759 --> 00:02:58.199
that went out in like every single band that were

45
00:02:58.319 --> 00:03:01.280
just like Entering, Entering, Entering. We all thought like, well,

46
00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:04.039
we've been wanting to do Rockaholma for like for two

47
00:03:04.120 --> 00:03:05.960
years now. It's like, well, let's try our luck and

48
00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:09.639
and we haven't heard anything back, and we're like, oh, well,

49
00:03:10.120 --> 00:03:13.520
you know, maybe we didn't get on. And four months

50
00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:16.080
later we get the call and it's just like oh man,

51
00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:17.080
like nice.

52
00:03:18.439 --> 00:03:20.919
And then how does it feel to go out there

53
00:03:21.039 --> 00:03:26.479
today early in the day expecting nobody after people partying

54
00:03:26.599 --> 00:03:30.879
in the campground till like five am self included, and

55
00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:33.280
see that kind of crowd there to see you, like

56
00:03:33.599 --> 00:03:36.159
you probably didn't expect anybody to be there that early

57
00:03:36.360 --> 00:03:38.680
on the second day at a festival.

58
00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:43.159
It's so surreal, like right, it was. It's really heartwarming

59
00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:46.360
because you see like everyone there and it's like what,

60
00:03:47.319 --> 00:03:49.879
like we thought like, oh man, like they're just gonna

61
00:03:49.879 --> 00:03:51.800
be at the campgrounds, but they're like right there.

62
00:03:52.080 --> 00:03:55.000
Yeah, what they got up early, hung over and everything

63
00:03:55.120 --> 00:03:56.039
and still came to your.

64
00:03:56.319 --> 00:03:58.479
It became very real in that moment, and so it

65
00:03:58.560 --> 00:04:01.599
felt really good to experience. I'm pretty sure I can

66
00:04:01.639 --> 00:04:02.919
speak for all of us that it was kind of

67
00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:04.919
you know, gave us all chills, you know when you

68
00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:08.080
hear you know, them screaming for you, you.

69
00:04:08.120 --> 00:04:10.840
Know, so yeah, really cool. And then like last night

70
00:04:10.960 --> 00:04:13.840
we were out in the campground partying at one of

71
00:04:13.919 --> 00:04:17.920
my neighbors as his bus with a deck built on it.

72
00:04:18.360 --> 00:04:20.839
It's called bus Boobs and Buttholes.

73
00:04:23.920 --> 00:04:25.920
I walk at the campgrounds and I saw that thing.

74
00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:28.079
Oh yeah, you gotta check it out because like they

75
00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:30.360
give away to Mardi Gras beads, if you show your

76
00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:35.360
butthole or your boobs, they don't care. Man, woman, non binary,

77
00:04:35.519 --> 00:04:39.120
doesn't matter. Okay, whoever you are, you can show it

78
00:04:39.240 --> 00:04:43.079
and get some beads. But yeah, last night, what was

79
00:04:43.120 --> 00:04:46.079
it about. I don't know, must have been about three

80
00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:50.399
am or something. We were just talking about showing nations

81
00:04:51.079 --> 00:04:53.920
and from evil and death and he goes to me,

82
00:04:54.040 --> 00:04:56.480
he goes, Okay, I'm gonna text you in the morning

83
00:04:56.560 --> 00:04:58.879
and we're gonna meet so we could go see Serge.

84
00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:01.920
I'm like okay, and then I left him like he'

85
00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:08.519
can text me. But he was at your set. So

86
00:05:09.439 --> 00:05:13.000
there it is, like I have to tell you after

87
00:05:13.120 --> 00:05:16.360
the last two nights and you know him, the fact

88
00:05:16.399 --> 00:05:18.920
that he made it to your set, he must love you, guys,

89
00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:22.800
because the last two nights have been brutal and he's

90
00:05:22.920 --> 00:05:28.759
been the bad influence. Oh man, he's a.

91
00:05:28.759 --> 00:05:31.160
Good person, man, and he's he's been there for since

92
00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:32.920
day one in San Antonio and he's been a real

93
00:05:33.040 --> 00:05:33.720
ruder for us, and.

94
00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:38.800
Our first show in San Antonio we open for him.

95
00:05:39.439 --> 00:05:39.720
Wow.

96
00:05:39.920 --> 00:05:41.279
Yeah, that's how we met him.

97
00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:44.680
You know, the more I keep hearing about this San

98
00:05:44.680 --> 00:05:47.680
Antonio scene, you know, everybody in the country likes you say,

99
00:05:48.199 --> 00:05:52.920
Austin's the capital live music and no offense. I don't

100
00:05:52.959 --> 00:05:56.399
think it is. But the more I meet people that

101
00:05:56.560 --> 00:05:59.360
are in bands from San Antonio, I think san Antonio

102
00:05:59.480 --> 00:06:02.600
should be is not only is there so much talent there,

103
00:06:02.680 --> 00:06:04.920
but you guys are all like so cool and so

104
00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:09.240
you know, pushing each other up, unlike the rest of

105
00:06:09.319 --> 00:06:09.720
the world.

106
00:06:09.920 --> 00:06:12.079
Oh definitely. Yeah, Antonio has got a great scene and

107
00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:13.879
we know a lot of really good people.

108
00:06:13.959 --> 00:06:14.240
Sean.

109
00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:17.600
You know, he's been amazing to us from day one.

110
00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:21.639
Like Dan said, you know we had Well, there's a

111
00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:24.480
lot of bands, bet Allison. You know, I could go

112
00:06:24.600 --> 00:06:24.920
on and on.

113
00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:28.199
The Ravens Banquet is playing out to Yeah, they're playing tomorrow.

114
00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:29.120
We all help each other.

115
00:06:29.079 --> 00:06:32.240
Out because I think we all realize that that something's

116
00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:34.480
gonna happen, and it needs a scene, needs to happen.

117
00:06:34.879 --> 00:06:37.279
It can't be one or one or two bands, no doubt,

118
00:06:37.439 --> 00:06:40.600
you know, And I think we realize that in San Antonio.

119
00:06:40.839 --> 00:06:44.959
And Bad Allison played last year, killed it, even Death

120
00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:48.680
played the year before. So it's like the slow invasion

121
00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:51.319
of San Antonio and to rock Lahoma.

122
00:06:52.399 --> 00:06:53.959
We're fucking coming next year.

123
00:06:54.480 --> 00:06:57.240
I think we should just do all San Antonio bands

124
00:06:57.279 --> 00:06:58.040
for rock Lahoma.

125
00:06:58.120 --> 00:07:00.600
There's a lot of great musicians, a lot of great

126
00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:01.600
bands of San Antonio.

127
00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:05.360
You know, So are you all originally from San Antonio?

128
00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:06.279
No?

129
00:07:07.000 --> 00:07:08.439
Where are you all originally from?

130
00:07:08.600 --> 00:07:12.360
We're all originally from like Uvaldi, Okay, we're forty five

131
00:07:12.399 --> 00:07:14.079
to an hour out of San Antonio.

132
00:07:14.279 --> 00:07:18.920
Okay. And when did you discover each one of you

133
00:07:19.639 --> 00:07:23.680
this San Antonio music scene or just music as your

134
00:07:23.800 --> 00:07:26.199
passion in general that led you to be here at

135
00:07:26.279 --> 00:07:27.240
Rocklahoma today?

136
00:07:27.759 --> 00:07:33.360
Basically, Like that was Fitzgerald's We've been like I think

137
00:07:33.399 --> 00:07:35.519
it was around like twenty twenty when we decided to

138
00:07:35.560 --> 00:07:38.120
be in an original band because originally we were a

139
00:07:38.319 --> 00:07:41.160
cover band. But a lot of people were asking like, hey,

140
00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:43.920
do you guys have originalists? And we're like no, So

141
00:07:44.199 --> 00:07:46.959
we decided to do this original route and we just

142
00:07:47.040 --> 00:07:50.759
did like we just like asked venues after venues to

143
00:07:50.839 --> 00:07:53.040
see if they can, like, you know, if we can

144
00:07:53.079 --> 00:07:55.759
play the venues we have, We've gotten no answer. And

145
00:07:55.800 --> 00:07:58.240
then Fitzgerald's came in and it was like, hey, like,

146
00:07:58.839 --> 00:08:00.480
do you guys want to open up for or Shaw

147
00:08:00.600 --> 00:08:02.759
Nations were even in death and it's like, oh yeah,

148
00:08:03.480 --> 00:08:04.920
nice us.

149
00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:07.319
They gave us our first shot in this Antonio scene

150
00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:08.879
and from there we just kind of ran with it.

151
00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:11.560
And they've been super welcoming of us, and Sean's been

152
00:08:11.600 --> 00:08:13.680
welcome with us, and then from there it's just kind

153
00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:16.399
of blossom into this thing where you know, we've become

154
00:08:16.439 --> 00:08:18.079
a part of their scene and like little family.

155
00:08:19.319 --> 00:08:19.759
I love it.

156
00:08:19.879 --> 00:08:23.279
They've definitely adopted us. You know, the Santoni music scene.

157
00:08:23.720 --> 00:08:25.439
We go there as often as we can. We're from

158
00:08:25.439 --> 00:08:27.160
a small town, so there really is no place to

159
00:08:27.240 --> 00:08:31.959
play in small town, and we're in a region that's

160
00:08:32.039 --> 00:08:35.679
dominated by Latin and country music, and we had to

161
00:08:35.759 --> 00:08:38.519
go out, you know, we had to go out San Antonio, Houston,

162
00:08:38.840 --> 00:08:41.679
we went all over Texas, honestly, anywhere you know that

163
00:08:41.720 --> 00:08:44.080
they'd have us, that there was electricity, nice, you know,

164
00:08:44.200 --> 00:08:46.799
we'd go plug in and just pay our dues. You know,

165
00:08:46.919 --> 00:08:49.720
I told these guys it's all about sacrifice, paying your dues.

166
00:08:50.120 --> 00:08:52.759
Early on you definitely gotta pay your dues. Like and

167
00:08:52.879 --> 00:08:55.039
people think that bands don't like you. Take a band

168
00:08:55.120 --> 00:08:59.080
like Metallica, who I knew them way back when when

169
00:08:59.080 --> 00:09:02.120
they were eating on the sandwiches went no Bread, all

170
00:09:02.120 --> 00:09:04.879
of them sleeping off floor with all the people from

171
00:09:04.919 --> 00:09:08.279
man Fraax, with all the people from Slay in one room,

172
00:09:08.879 --> 00:09:12.360
you know, and like like they say, it takes twenty

173
00:09:12.480 --> 00:09:15.600
years to become an overnight success, correct. You know, people

174
00:09:15.639 --> 00:09:17.639
don't realize if they, oh, you just woke up one

175
00:09:17.720 --> 00:09:19.120
day and you're a rock star.

176
00:09:19.639 --> 00:09:21.440
You know, I know that more than most.

177
00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:26.600
Ah, there you go. See, so one story good or

178
00:09:26.799 --> 00:09:32.440
bad over your musical career, what would it be the

179
00:09:32.519 --> 00:09:36.600
whole career. Yes, that's a.

180
00:09:36.639 --> 00:09:39.320
Really good one. I mean, so I would say playing

181
00:09:39.320 --> 00:09:41.639
the whiskey a go go nice. I mean we opened

182
00:09:41.720 --> 00:09:44.000
up for Stone Breed. Yeah, shout out to Stonebread They

183
00:09:44.000 --> 00:09:46.080
gave us a shot there in La And that was

184
00:09:46.120 --> 00:09:49.639
a surreal moment, having you know, seen the documentary, seeing

185
00:09:49.759 --> 00:09:52.480
the pictures, you know, listening to all these bands from

186
00:09:52.480 --> 00:09:53.799
the eighties and seeing all these other bands.

187
00:09:54.039 --> 00:09:56.519
I was there in the eighties, you know, so it

188
00:09:56.639 --> 00:09:57.639
was surreal for.

189
00:09:57.720 --> 00:09:59.360
Us to step on that stage too, you know, and

190
00:09:59.399 --> 00:10:01.120
it was like wow, I mean I can't believe we're here.

191
00:10:01.440 --> 00:10:04.399
It just it's a real, you know, eye opening to see.

192
00:10:04.519 --> 00:10:06.879
And like you did go to the Rainbow after your set?

193
00:10:07.000 --> 00:10:07.080
Right?

194
00:10:07.159 --> 00:10:11.120
Absolutely, you can not do that, Okay. I look now,

195
00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:13.559
I was like I don't know going into Rainbow at

196
00:10:13.639 --> 00:10:15.759
like fifteen. I'm like I go there. Now, I'm like,

197
00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:18.840
how did I get in here in fifteen? Oh? That's right.

198
00:10:19.279 --> 00:10:22.440
You would go see a gig like Motley Crewe at

199
00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:25.360
the Roxy and then walk up with them to the Rainbow,

200
00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:28.720
you know, shit like that. That was the eighties, and

201
00:10:29.600 --> 00:10:31.720
it was like I just think about like the fact

202
00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:35.399
that I was going to the Rainbow at fifteen, that's

203
00:10:35.480 --> 00:10:41.080
like kind of fucking wild. But then as a band, okay,

204
00:10:41.919 --> 00:10:44.440
like your first time playing a gig on the strip

205
00:10:44.559 --> 00:10:47.159
and then going up to the Rainbow, that's like that's

206
00:10:47.240 --> 00:10:48.080
bucketless shit.

207
00:10:48.159 --> 00:10:51.039
Oh yeah, dude, Yeah, I did not see that one

208
00:10:51.080 --> 00:10:53.039
