Man W four c Y Radio.
And I'm y'very excited about our next guest

6
00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:06.799
because they were just a Punk Rock
Bowling, which is a badass festival that

7
00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:08.760
I was at. Two. We
were going to connect there, but it's

8
00:01:08.799 --> 00:01:15.879
so busy and hectic that it's better
that we connect here anyway. So let's

9
00:01:15.879 --> 00:01:19.400
welcome to the show. Teen mortgage. How are you good? How are

10
00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:25.519
you doing great? Except I'm not
at Punk Rock Bowling anymore, because you

11
00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:27.159
know, you know how it goes. You leave some of that stuff and

12
00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:36.159
you're like, go on, go
on. The downward depression of being withdrawals

13
00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:45.359
from festivalses for sure. We didn't
have time to lament ours. We were

14
00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:48.920
just like right back on the road. So yeah, this was like I

15
00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:53.120
had my only first week off and
then uh so, yeah, I have

16
00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:57.319
a little of that downtime and then
I'll be uh going to a bunch more.

17
00:01:57.640 --> 00:02:00.719
But that was like my last one
final run of like two months of

18
00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:06.680
every weekend. So oh wow,
it's nice to have a little break because,

19
00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:10.919
like you, I go around every
place, but differences is I'm not

20
00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:16.000
sweated out on stage because it was
super fricking hot there. I have to

21
00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:23.719
give you kudos to playing on stage
in Las Vegas because it was brutal.

22
00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:28.599
It seemed like every day it got
hotter and hotter. Yeah. Yeah,

23
00:02:29.080 --> 00:02:32.520
I was dying up the I made
the mistake of putting sun screen on on

24
00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:38.080
my face. Uh so bad.
It was like going all up in my

25
00:02:38.199 --> 00:02:42.960
eyes, and I was like trying
to play the songs just like like blind

26
00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:46.639
is that's the that's the worst part
right there, Like when you do that

27
00:02:46.759 --> 00:02:51.560
because you almost have to have the
sunscreen or else you're going to be in

28
00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:55.560
pain later. But then it just
burns the hell out of your eyes and

29
00:02:55.560 --> 00:03:00.639
there's nothing you can really do.
Yeah. I was just trying to power

30
00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:06.039
through the songs exactly. And I
like to paint this because I think people

31
00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:09.360
that go to festivals go to concerts
that when it's hot. I don't think

32
00:03:09.400 --> 00:03:14.879
they realize how much more brutal it
is to be up on stage than down

33
00:03:14.960 --> 00:03:22.520
in the audience. Yeah, Like
I don't know, it's like Vegas is

34
00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:25.240
just so so hot. Like I'm
sure it was hot out there. I

35
00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:30.360
was. I was surprised people were
even like mushing to us because it was

36
00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:31.560
in the middle of that. There
was like four o'clock in the afternoon,

37
00:03:32.039 --> 00:03:38.759
right, Yeah, the polite kind
of aerobic smash. You know, everyone

38
00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:44.560
was doing that, bess to keep
it going, but not like die,

39
00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:50.240
yeah exactly. And you know,
I live in South Florida when I'm here,

40
00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:54.319
and I was loking hot in Vegas, Okay, like I was ready

41
00:03:54.360 --> 00:03:59.360
to come home to Florida to cool
off, which saying that that's a lot.

42
00:04:00.199 --> 00:04:02.319
It's a different kind of heat,
you know. It's it's not that

43
00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:06.599
like sweltering heat. It just it
just takes all the water out of your

44
00:04:06.599 --> 00:04:13.159
body one hundred Like I was,
I was standing there watching, you know,

45
00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:17.279
like people just they weren't hydrated,
you know that, and they should

46
00:04:17.319 --> 00:04:20.519
have been hydrated a lot more.
You don't even realize till it's too late,

47
00:04:21.079 --> 00:04:29.920
and people were like out gone,
you know. And so but that

48
00:04:30.079 --> 00:04:34.120
being said, it is one of
the best fricking festivals in the respect of

49
00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:40.519
that it's just different from all the
other festivals. You know. It's like

50
00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:44.439
my youngest story, She always asks
me every festival, I go, are

51
00:04:44.480 --> 00:04:46.240
you excited, And I'm like,
I don't know if it's say it's the

52
00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:49.680
word for it, and you understand
what I mean. It's like, it's

53
00:04:49.839 --> 00:04:54.319
fun and it's great, But when
you do it every weekend, I don't

54
00:04:54.360 --> 00:04:58.480
know if excitement is the word.
But then when you do something like punk

55
00:04:58.600 --> 00:05:02.680
rock bowling, then it's exciting because
man, they just take over all of

56
00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:08.519
downtown Las Vegas. You got all
those you know, the festival of course,

57
00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:12.240
but then all the club shows,
the bowling, and it's just a

58
00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:16.279
whole different experience than most festivals.
How do you feel as an artist being

59
00:05:16.279 --> 00:05:23.120
there? It was amazing subtle vibe. That was the second time you've ever

60
00:05:23.160 --> 00:05:28.240
played Vegas, so it was like
it was very surreal to be kind of

61
00:05:28.279 --> 00:05:30.319
a you know, like we played, and then nine to nine to nine

62
00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:39.600
played, and then Nutball plays and
then Gorilla Biscuits played. Right, It's

63
00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:44.560
like a dream for sure, And
it's really cool what they do there that

64
00:05:44.600 --> 00:05:48.480
they don't do at other festivals that
no bands ever overlap. So I think

65
00:05:48.519 --> 00:05:51.759
that's great for the bands because,
like you guys, as a band,

66
00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:57.240
you get the whole crowd opposed to
somebody having to make a choice between you

67
00:05:57.319 --> 00:06:00.839
and somebody else playing at the same
time as you. Yeah, at least

68
00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:03.879
on the festival stages. It's like
that. The club shows are a little

69
00:06:03.920 --> 00:06:08.240
bit there's a little bit of overlap, but like that's a different thing.

70
00:06:08.759 --> 00:06:11.920
Yeah, did you take it out
any of the club shows? I did.

71
00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:15.920
I was at the sub Humans one
and I was at the Dwarves one.

72
00:06:16.920 --> 00:06:21.079
Oh nice, Yeah, yeah,
we made it out. I made

73
00:06:21.120 --> 00:06:25.160
it out to see Guitar Wolf.
I've been trying to see that band for

74
00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:29.680
like twenty years. See like that. That's the cool thing about festivals like

75
00:06:29.720 --> 00:06:32.240
this because that's what happens right there. You get to see bands that you

76
00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:36.120
thought you'd never see. They played
it like almost one in the morning.

77
00:06:36.199 --> 00:06:39.839
I was like, everyone was pretty
dune, but I was like, I've

78
00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:45.720
waited twenty years for this, right
Yeah. And you know it's funny because

79
00:06:45.920 --> 00:06:49.240
I went to a sub Humans one
and I saw their set at the festival.

80
00:06:49.480 --> 00:06:53.399
The beauty for me is I miss
a lot of sets at the festival

81
00:06:53.439 --> 00:06:57.319
because I'm doing interviews. So then
the club shows, I can see sets,

82
00:06:57.360 --> 00:07:00.519
but I saw their set at the
festival, I you, Dick,

83
00:07:00.959 --> 00:07:04.759
and then I went to a club
show and I just couldn't get enough of

84
00:07:04.839 --> 00:07:10.199
it. And what's cool about the
club shows it's the it's a different vibe

85
00:07:10.240 --> 00:07:14.000
obviously because it's a club show,
but then also it's a different set too,

86
00:07:14.639 --> 00:07:17.639
so that's kind of cool. Yeah, for sure, we got to

87
00:07:17.639 --> 00:07:21.639
see both mod wall SUTs. We
saw the club show and that was crazy.

88
00:07:21.680 --> 00:07:27.000
And then and then Judge played and
that was like insane, you know,

89
00:07:27.079 --> 00:07:31.759
because they're a rare one to see. They don't call it play too

90
00:07:31.759 --> 00:07:36.040
often. Yeah, well there you
go, and that that is That's something

91
00:07:36.079 --> 00:07:42.199
I noticed too about punk rock Bowling
throughout the years is there's bands that you

92
00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:46.439
know, don't play too often that
that play punk rock bowling or like,

93
00:07:46.600 --> 00:07:50.600
as an example, when the Specials
headline punk rock Bowling, they played ghost

94
00:07:50.720 --> 00:07:57.560
Town and they never played that song
live ever. Oh yeah, I was

95
00:07:57.600 --> 00:08:00.639
like I was sitting there, I
was like in shock, like whether I

96
00:08:00.759 --> 00:08:05.920
was really hearing it correctly or if
I was hallucinating, you know. So,

97
00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:11.639
and it is like it's a cool
vibe with the people too. I

98
00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:16.199
think a lot of people don't realize
that about the punk shows that are not

99
00:08:16.439 --> 00:08:22.600
punks, that it's just one big
family and there's no outsiders, there's no

100
00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:28.680
bull crap. Everybody's just you know, having a good time and avoiding all

101
00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:31.840
the bull crap that's in the outside
world. Yeah, for sure. There's

102
00:08:31.840 --> 00:08:39.080
definitely a lot of good picks on
the past out punks Instagram page. Nice.

103
00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:43.600
Yeah, I was looking all the
time. Did you check out the

104
00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:48.399
swim parties? That's pretty wild too. We played one. We played a

105
00:08:48.399 --> 00:08:58.279
club show with no They have a
swim party from like ten to one all

106
00:08:58.320 --> 00:09:07.440
three days and it's at this rooftop
pool and friends played that one. Yeah,

107
00:09:07.799 --> 00:09:13.080
which which band? Home Front?
Oh okay, cool, Yeah,

108
00:09:13.480 --> 00:09:20.080
I saw them. I was at
that pool party fantastic. Oh yeah,

109
00:09:20.639 --> 00:09:22.679
and it was it's so funny because
I don't know if you noticed, but

110
00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:30.159
they do like a circle pit in
the pool. Yeah yeah, And then

111
00:09:30.200 --> 00:09:35.519
they had people in rafts that they
were like pretending like their cuds and crowdsurfing.

112
00:09:35.759 --> 00:09:39.799
So except there in rafts, uh
yeah, we it would have been

113
00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:43.799
sick to play one. Uh but
from what from what home Front hold us?

114
00:09:43.840 --> 00:09:50.000
You got to be there seven in
the morning. Yeah, we're friends,

115
00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:52.480
and we never timed up with them
because like they were, dude,

116
00:09:52.519 --> 00:09:56.559
they were just being run ragged because
I think they got off the plane to

117
00:09:56.600 --> 00:10:00.000
do their club show, so they
got in with like maybe like an hour

118
00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:01.279
or something like that, and we're
like, if there's stuff together and then

119
00:10:01.320 --> 00:10:05.879
do their set. And then I
saw Clinton in the hallway at like two

120
00:10:05.960 --> 00:10:11.840
am and he was like, we
have a seven am call. Like,

121
00:10:11.200 --> 00:10:16.440
I guess you're not going on to
see Guitar Wolf. No. Yeah.

122
00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:20.200
That is the bummer sometimes of being
an artist because like I don't I think

123
00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:22.480
a lot of people don't realize.
They think, oh, you get to

124
00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:26.440
see anybody you want, and it's
exact opposite. It's usually you get like

125
00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:30.279
you're lucky if you get to see
a band, even if you're on tour

126
00:10:30.360 --> 00:10:33.000
with them. Sometimes well yeah,
I mean at this point now it's like,

127
00:10:33.080 --> 00:10:37.840
you know, we've like kind of
leveled up and like we've been touring

128
00:10:37.879 --> 00:10:39.039
so much, we've been meeting so
many people. It's I think it's one

129
00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:43.600
of the first times I've really been
at a festival and been like all of

130
00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:46.720
our buds are here, you know, like we're kind of we have our

131
00:10:46.759 --> 00:10:50.120
own like behind the scenes like friends
group and like, I've never been to

132
00:10:50.120 --> 00:10:52.240
a festival where it's I'm just bouncing
around and being like, oh, I'm

133
00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:56.639
trying to catch like a like rocker
with the cryp because Mario is playing drums

134
00:10:56.679 --> 00:11:00.879
for them, you know, or
like stuff like that. So that was

135
00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:03.440
that was a trip in itself.
That's pretty cool. I love that.

136
00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:11.200
And so you guys are back over
in the UK for a tour now correct,

137
00:11:11.879 --> 00:11:18.240
It's right. We're in currently in
Broadford in England and it's like the

138
00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:20.480
curry capital of the UK. We
just went for a curry good times.

139
00:11:22.360 --> 00:11:24.559
Nice. I didn't know that was
the curry capital. There's a play when

140
00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:28.720
I go to download there's a place
I go to. I can't even remember

141
00:11:28.759 --> 00:11:33.440
the name, but man it did. It is like one of the best

142
00:11:33.480 --> 00:11:37.440
Indian restaurants I've ever had. I
think you guys over in the UK are

143
00:11:37.559 --> 00:11:41.879
known for that stuff because every time
I go over there to food is so

144
00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:46.320
good compared to here for that type
of food. Totally. Yeah, I

145
00:11:46.320 --> 00:11:52.320
think there's there's definitely a bigger Indian
community possibly in the UK, so like

146
00:11:52.360 --> 00:11:56.039
Broadford was a big Indian community,
and yeah, like we'd never been I'd

147
00:11:56.080 --> 00:12:00.320
never been either, so I was
like I was staying in there's like,

148
00:12:00.360 --> 00:12:03.919
we're going for a curry. He's
sure. Nice. It was tight.

149
00:12:05.159 --> 00:12:07.960
Yeah, we just had like a
like a thirteen hour travel day. That's

150
00:12:07.960 --> 00:12:11.440
why we had to postpone like a
little bit. Oh man, that's a

151
00:12:11.519 --> 00:12:16.320
rough day. See. That's why
nobody likes to come to South Florida where

152
00:12:16.320 --> 00:12:22.639
I'm at, because because this state. Okay, so you gotta drive six

153
00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:26.399
hours to get down this way,
and then you gotta drive another six hours

154
00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:31.960
to get added the state to your
next gig. So it's like it doesn't

155
00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:35.600
make sense for a lot of bands. Yeah. I think we hit every

156
00:12:35.240 --> 00:12:39.720
corner of the country except for like
we didn't get into Florida over the last

157
00:12:39.960 --> 00:12:46.600
two ye see, we played Gainesville. But that's it's pretty fun to us.

158
00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:50.519
Oh yeah, that's that's like another
world to where I am. Yeah,

159
00:12:50.840 --> 00:12:54.720
totally. It's like my youngest daughter, she lives in the Panhandle,

160
00:12:56.320 --> 00:13:01.519
and I actually take a flight to
get to her because that makes sense.

161
00:13:01.879 --> 00:13:05.639
Yeah, because it's like a ten
to twelve hour drive if there's no traffic.

162
00:13:07.080 --> 00:13:11.440
The little puddle jumper. Actually,
I there's this airline here. It's

163
00:13:11.519 --> 00:13:15.360
kind of like easy Jet and I
forget the name of the one in the

164
00:13:15.480 --> 00:13:18.679
UK that you know, the cheap
airlines, It's called Spirit over here.

165
00:13:18.159 --> 00:13:22.440
Oh yeah, so you can,
like I can take the flight from here

166
00:13:22.519 --> 00:13:28.720
to her round trip for like eighty
bucks I would spend if they charge you

167
00:13:28.799 --> 00:13:31.320
extra to wear you're clothes, yes, that that they do. So what

168
00:13:31.399 --> 00:13:37.120
I do is like you're allowed you're
personalight of So I just pack all my

169
00:13:37.279 --> 00:13:39.799
shit in a backpack. Man,
I'm not and I don't care. Like

170
00:13:39.919 --> 00:13:43.679
it's like I don't need a bunch
of stuff to go up there, and

171
00:13:43.720 --> 00:13:48.960
I'm not. You spend more on
checking luggage than you do to flight,

172
00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:54.919
It's weird. Yeah, and carry
on we I mean usually try to carry

173
00:13:54.919 --> 00:13:56.159
on wherever you go, like when
you're doing the travel like we do.

174
00:13:56.240 --> 00:14:00.440
It's like we always have a check
ear now mm hmm, Like we gotta

175
00:14:00.440 --> 00:14:03.120
show a b extra early to make
sure O suckets on the plane. And

176
00:14:03.279 --> 00:14:07.000
so that's the whole thing. So
have you had any horror stories with that

177
00:14:07.080 --> 00:14:11.240
yet, because I know a lot
of bands that have. Nope, not

178
00:14:11.360 --> 00:14:16.960
with gear, we had some immigration
issues. It's like trying to get it

179
00:14:18.039 --> 00:14:22.159
back into the country. Yeah,
that that's always fun I remember one time

180
00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:26.840
I was was it I think it
was either Download or Bloodstock. I couldn't

181
00:14:26.840 --> 00:14:31.759
remember which. One last year and
I had an interview with Gwar and they

182
00:14:31.799 --> 00:14:35.480
were and they were late because of
the flights and stuff like that, and

183
00:14:35.559 --> 00:14:41.360
the airlines lost all their crap.
Now imagine a band like Gwar losing all

184
00:14:41.399 --> 00:14:45.200
their crap, like they can't even
do a show, you know, like,

185
00:14:46.080 --> 00:14:50.320
yeah, exactly, So it was. It was pretty funny though,

186
00:14:50.559 --> 00:14:54.919
Yeah, it was. I remember
it was Download because we were sitting at

187
00:14:54.960 --> 00:14:58.120
the table and was talking as a
photographer that was across from me, and

188
00:14:58.240 --> 00:15:03.039
so Blow came over to do the
interview. But he wasn't in costume or

189
00:15:03.080 --> 00:15:07.679
anything, you know, and nobody
in the pres tent knew who he was

190
00:15:07.919 --> 00:15:11.960
that I was talking to. But
he was being funny. He was kind

191
00:15:11.960 --> 00:15:15.519
of like hinting, you know,
like the photographer across from me. I

192
00:15:15.519 --> 00:15:18.759
had gummy bears, so he kind
of he was messing with and was like,

193
00:15:18.879 --> 00:15:24.679
hey, let me let me have
those gummy bears. You know,

194
00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:28.559
And you could totally if you were
paying attention, but you wouldn't think of

195
00:15:28.600 --> 00:15:31.600
it. You would totally know it's
supposed to be blowth are, but because

196
00:15:31.679 --> 00:15:37.159
you don't even realize that's what's going
on. You know that guy has a

197
00:15:37.200 --> 00:15:45.039
PhD. Right, yeah, totally. And I was like, what time

198
00:15:45.200 --> 00:15:52.840
we were at the uh dimeback thing
thing that they did every year or something

199
00:15:52.840 --> 00:15:56.159
like that. Yeah, dime bash, dime bash bash, there you go.

200
00:15:56.639 --> 00:16:03.000
And so I was hanging out of
them there, but nobody knew it

201
00:16:03.039 --> 00:16:07.320
was them really, except you know, artists did, but everybody else that

202
00:16:07.440 --> 00:16:11.200
was there didn't. And so I
looked at him and I'm like, you

203
00:16:11.240 --> 00:16:15.159
know, I can understand why you're
wearing those costumes. You look a lot

204
00:16:15.200 --> 00:16:26.080
better. Uh So, how did
this happen that now you're you're playing with

205
00:16:26.279 --> 00:16:32.799
uh Smashing Pumpkins and Weedzer, Right, that's right, yep, So how

206
00:16:32.799 --> 00:16:37.360
did that happen? Because that's a
pretty cool trio right there, just gottached

207
00:16:37.399 --> 00:16:40.639
from the management one day. It
was like real casual and you saw the

208
00:16:41.240 --> 00:16:44.440
like we didn't believe it, Like
it was like radio silence because it was

209
00:16:44.480 --> 00:16:51.039
like, what do you mean you
you got Weezer and the Smashing Pumpkins?

210
00:16:51.159 --> 00:16:52.600
And I was like, what do
you mean? Like you got us a

211
00:16:52.679 --> 00:16:57.320
vinyl? Yeah, you know,
and then uh, and then I waited,

212
00:16:57.480 --> 00:17:02.519
I wait, I didn't respond,
and then someone else responding it was

213
00:17:02.600 --> 00:17:06.039
like like like doesn't collect to me, it's still yet, you know,

214
00:17:06.160 --> 00:17:08.079
Yeah, I don't think it's gonna
fully come in until we walk into one

215
00:17:08.079 --> 00:17:11.400
of the arenas and just hear that
sound of an empty arena, you know,

216
00:17:11.559 --> 00:17:17.039
right, it might not even sync
in until after it's over, and

217
00:17:17.079 --> 00:17:21.000
then you'll be like, was that
real? Yeah, I mean we're doing

218
00:17:21.000 --> 00:17:25.839
a lot of that these days.
It's been spent on spent a lot of

219
00:17:25.880 --> 00:17:30.240
like really surreal movements, especially in
the last like year. I know,

220
00:17:32.039 --> 00:17:36.000
but yeah, it's you know,
like the time it happened and even now

221
00:17:36.039 --> 00:17:40.240
it's like you know, we're uh
we put out music through like a DIY

222
00:17:40.400 --> 00:17:45.599
label and we use them another label
is like a subsidiary like uh of trust

223
00:17:45.759 --> 00:17:53.799
to like do our distribution, but
we're essentially an unsigned band. So like

224
00:17:53.880 --> 00:17:57.240
our management's like, yeah, this
is like unheard of that a band like

225
00:17:57.559 --> 00:18:03.759
that's unsigned is like opening for arenas
with those bands? Did did he have

226
00:18:03.799 --> 00:18:07.920
any idea how that happened? Did? Like Billy Carrgan just like say,

227
00:18:08.119 --> 00:18:12.200
man, this band's really freaking good. Pretty much, that's that's what we've

228
00:18:12.240 --> 00:18:17.799
heard. Yeah, he Billy Cogan
was like, yeah on these guys,

229
00:18:18.240 --> 00:18:23.119
wow, how does that feel?
Well? They needed band, the booking

230
00:18:23.119 --> 00:18:26.640
agencies laid out bands and were options
and they picked us out of that.

231
00:18:27.319 --> 00:18:33.799
Nice. Yeah, like for real, I actually used as a he has

232
00:18:33.880 --> 00:18:41.319
like a big muff pedal that he
did big muff right, I'm using that.

233
00:18:41.880 --> 00:18:48.440
Wow, we bought that last year. It was literally ship. Yeah.

234
00:18:48.519 --> 00:18:51.759
See that's that. That's pretty cool
and it says a lot for those

235
00:18:51.799 --> 00:18:56.000
who have not heard your music or
seen you live. That says a lot

236
00:18:56.119 --> 00:18:59.720
about how great you guys are,
because you know, when you have somebody

237
00:18:59.759 --> 00:19:03.519
I like that, it's like I
want you on tour with because listen,

238
00:19:03.359 --> 00:19:07.000
you know, bands when they bring
you on tour, you know, the

239
00:19:07.039 --> 00:19:12.880
bands they bring on tour could make
the difference between negative feedback and positive feedback,

240
00:19:14.319 --> 00:19:18.880
regardless of who they are, you
know. Yeah, so that says

241
00:19:18.920 --> 00:19:22.440
a lot you know when they when
a band like that picks you to come

242
00:19:22.480 --> 00:19:26.160
with them. So that's pretty cool. Yeah, for sure, thank you,

243
00:19:26.640 --> 00:19:34.960
definitely, Uh well, I really
want Yeah, it's an honor coming

244
00:19:34.960 --> 00:19:38.039
from like someone that has like a
history of kind of like sticking to their

245
00:19:38.079 --> 00:19:44.119
own guns. Too, like like
artistically, you know, like Billy Corgan

246
00:19:44.160 --> 00:19:47.119
talks about how like he's like,
yeah, because I was like goth before

247
00:19:47.200 --> 00:19:52.039
goth was like the cool thing to
do. Right. It's so funny too,

248
00:19:52.079 --> 00:19:55.440
because like I'm kind of like that
too, Like I remember back in

249
00:19:55.480 --> 00:19:59.559
the day, I you know,
because I come from the eighties scene and

250
00:19:59.599 --> 00:20:03.680
I spikes when nobody was wearing spikes
and you know, had a piercing in

251
00:20:03.759 --> 00:20:08.119
my ear when when you know,
it didn't go much beyond that at that

252
00:20:08.279 --> 00:20:11.759
time, but if you had a
piercing in your ear, like oh my

253
00:20:11.880 --> 00:20:15.119
god. And as soon as everybody
else started doing it, I like took

254
00:20:15.160 --> 00:20:19.039
the earring out, took the spikes
off. I'm like, I'm not now

255
00:20:19.079 --> 00:20:23.240
it's popular. I don't want to
do it now. Yeah, people change,

256
00:20:23.319 --> 00:20:27.279
and me You're still punk on the
inside, you know exactly exactly.

257
00:20:27.839 --> 00:20:30.599
Everyone's got their own definition of it. But like you know, I think

258
00:20:30.680 --> 00:20:37.119
I think punk is up here not. I'm glad you brought that up because

259
00:20:37.160 --> 00:20:41.160
it is so true. Punk is
an attitude. It's more than just a

260
00:20:41.319 --> 00:20:45.240
music. It's more than just how
you dress and all that. It's an

261
00:20:45.279 --> 00:20:51.680
attitude. It's funny you brought that
up because you know, basically, I

262
00:20:51.720 --> 00:20:53.279
think it was when I was talking
at Dick from the sub Umens, it

263
00:20:53.319 --> 00:21:00.200
was either him or Drove from Devo. They were saying the same thing,

264
00:21:00.440 --> 00:21:06.960
is like punk has nothing to do
with how you dress and all that stuff

265
00:21:07.480 --> 00:21:11.599
has everything to do with who you
are and the attitude. The attitude like

266
00:21:11.640 --> 00:21:15.240
you're saying, what's up here?
For sure? Yeah, And I think

267
00:21:15.279 --> 00:21:19.839
we need that attitude more than ever
in twenty twenty four. It kind of

268
00:21:19.880 --> 00:21:26.079
blows my mind that bands what they
were talking about back in the eighties and

269
00:21:26.519 --> 00:21:30.640
late seventies, they not only are
talking about now, but even more Like

270
00:21:30.680 --> 00:21:36.759
you would think by now punk bands
wouldn't have all this stuff to write about.

271
00:21:37.400 --> 00:21:41.480
Yeah, you know what I mean. It's like, you know,

272
00:21:41.839 --> 00:21:45.319
given that the uh, the internet's
kind of made the world smaller in a

273
00:21:45.359 --> 00:21:48.680
lot of ways. It's like,
yeah, you have so much more access

274
00:21:48.759 --> 00:21:52.119
to learning about all the different things
that are happening in the world. It's

275
00:21:52.160 --> 00:21:56.519
like it's harder to keep stuff hidden
now. Yeah, you know, so

276
00:21:56.640 --> 00:22:00.559
if anything, it's like that we're
still railing about some of this thing stuff

277
00:22:00.559 --> 00:22:04.359
where it's like you're more aware of
of anything that could be happening in the

278
00:22:04.359 --> 00:22:07.079
world as long as you're like tapped
into the right channels. They would say,

279
00:22:07.079 --> 00:22:11.000
it's a you know, it's inspiring
me see younger people that like tap

280
00:22:11.039 --> 00:22:14.720
into it, and then like it's
like an older person, it's like you're

281
00:22:14.799 --> 00:22:19.119
like, it's a lot you know. Yeah, you got a great point

282
00:22:19.160 --> 00:22:25.000
too. And I think back in
the beginning of punk, punk was the

283
00:22:25.119 --> 00:22:29.960
voice of all this kind of stuff
because of what you're saying, and it's

284
00:22:30.000 --> 00:22:34.640
now anybody can really be the voice
of all the negativity or the political stuff

285
00:22:34.720 --> 00:22:41.079
or anything like that because of that
information. To your point, Yeah,

286
00:22:41.559 --> 00:22:47.079
so what uh, what else do
you want to let the listeners know about

287
00:22:47.119 --> 00:22:49.960
that you have going on or anything
they have to look out for. And

288
00:22:51.000 --> 00:22:53.400
also, you know, tell them
how to hit you up on socials on

289
00:22:53.519 --> 00:22:59.200
the web, get all your you
know, information on your tour dates,

290
00:22:59.279 --> 00:23:06.599
music, and us importantly merch because
you have a cool merch store. Yeah,

291
00:23:07.400 --> 00:23:08.480
we have a lot of stuff going
on. It's like we you know,

292
00:23:08.480 --> 00:23:11.079
almost decision to wrest, like what
to start with first. So like

293
00:23:11.119 --> 00:23:17.240
around the we're out here for the
arena tours, especially momings to Weezer,

294
00:23:17.240 --> 00:23:19.640
but we're doing our own headline tour
on either side of it. Like we

295
00:23:19.799 --> 00:23:25.400
just finished up in Ireland. Now
we're in the UK and we're doing dates

296
00:23:25.400 --> 00:23:27.839
on your side, and then after
the Arena we have a few more UK

297
00:23:29.000 --> 00:23:33.799
dates and then we finish out going
across Northern Europe, which will be our

298
00:23:33.799 --> 00:23:38.559
first time on mainland Europe. Nice, going to Paris, Netherlands, Germany.

299
00:23:41.119 --> 00:23:44.359
And that's just kind of like what
we have for June. There's a

300
00:23:44.400 --> 00:23:47.759
couple of things that are spicy that
are going to happen in the summertime that

301
00:23:47.799 --> 00:23:52.880
we can't announce yet, but you
can look out for those on our socials.

302
00:23:52.920 --> 00:23:56.359
In the fall, we're like just
through the roof that we are going

303
00:23:56.440 --> 00:24:00.799
to be touring with this band called
Death from Above nineteen seven. I hope

304
00:24:00.839 --> 00:24:06.799
you've heard of them. They're like, like diehard fan of that band.

305
00:24:07.400 --> 00:24:12.160
Nice. So we're doing two legs
of their twentieth anniversary tour for your Wounout

306
00:24:12.240 --> 00:24:22.319
Machine. That's gonna be happening in
late September through November. We're playing two

307
00:24:22.440 --> 00:24:27.880
massive festivals in the US A Loder
in Life in Kentucky. I'll be there.

308
00:24:29.759 --> 00:24:33.759
Yeah. So we're gonna be playing
After Shock too, right, Yeah,

309
00:24:33.759 --> 00:24:36.880
we're gonna open that. So yeah, we're playing after Shock as well.

310
00:24:37.559 --> 00:24:41.359
Yeah, so you're gonna love both
those festivals. I do that Ember

311
00:24:41.440 --> 00:24:45.720
year for like I don't know,
ten to fifteen years something like that.

312
00:24:45.200 --> 00:24:51.480
Yeah, after Shock it's a really
they're like two very different vibes. But

313
00:24:51.680 --> 00:24:56.839
after Shock is also one of my
favorite festivals because it's a cool vibe.

314
00:24:56.960 --> 00:25:00.559
The atmosphere in there. There's it's
in park with and stuff, so even

315
00:25:00.559 --> 00:25:06.480
though California is hot and there's lots
of shade, but also the media areas

316
00:25:06.519 --> 00:25:12.079
combined with the you know, artist
area in a sense that we have this

317
00:25:12.240 --> 00:25:18.440
like open bar back there and it
just becomes this cool hangout for everybody.

318
00:25:19.119 --> 00:25:25.039
And then Louder Than Life does a
similar thing too, but and Louder Than

319
00:25:25.119 --> 00:25:32.039
Life is just a badass festival.
And I'm super excited. Okay for me,

320
00:25:32.680 --> 00:25:37.519
I'm super excited for the return a
Slayer at Louderland Life. Yeah,

321
00:25:37.599 --> 00:25:41.480
I mean we're gonna be able to
catch them an Aftershock louder in Life.

322
00:25:41.480 --> 00:25:45.359
We have to start the Death Room
Above tour like the day after we play,

323
00:25:45.440 --> 00:25:47.759
so we get to hang out for
like a couple hours and we have

324
00:25:47.799 --> 00:25:51.799
to go back, like as much
as that pains us, but you know,

325
00:25:52.599 --> 00:25:56.039
stoke to be going and doing that
tour too. So it's just as

326
00:25:56.160 --> 00:26:00.640
we've been finding ourselves in positions where
we have to like choose between two awesome

327
00:26:00.680 --> 00:26:07.319
things, right, yeah, yeah. For me, Like, so,

328
00:26:07.559 --> 00:26:11.240
Slayer is probably my all time favorite. I was at their first gig ever,

329
00:26:11.000 --> 00:26:17.119
you know, and so I'm going
to see them at riot Fest,

330
00:26:17.759 --> 00:26:22.359
Ladder in Life and Aftershock, and
anybody that wants interviews during the Slayer set

331
00:26:22.799 --> 00:26:30.440
is out of luck. Usually I'll
be like, Okay, I'll do it,

332
00:26:30.559 --> 00:26:36.200
you know type of thing. But
you know, it's fucking Slayer five

333
00:26:36.279 --> 00:26:38.480
years later. Yeah, I thought
I missed my chance to see him.

334
00:26:38.599 --> 00:26:42.279
So I'm like, I'm just absolutely
stoked that I can. I can catch

335
00:26:42.319 --> 00:26:45.880
them. There you go, that
would be cool? Well maybe, well

336
00:26:47.240 --> 00:26:51.839
I'm right, let you go.
It's we're breaking up is our final shows,

337
00:26:51.839 --> 00:26:55.480
and then you combine show this is
the last show and then five years

338
00:26:55.519 --> 00:27:02.319
ago. Right. You know.
What what's interesting is is there's talk that,

339
00:27:03.440 --> 00:27:06.880
you know, chatter, not from
people in the industry, because nobody's

340
00:27:06.920 --> 00:27:11.559
gonna say shit in the industry,
but there's chatter that the you know,

341
00:27:11.640 --> 00:27:15.759
they're doing similar to what Pantera did, Like it was just going to be

342
00:27:15.799 --> 00:27:19.359
a couple festivals and then next thing
you know, here we are a couple

343
00:27:19.400 --> 00:27:29.079
of years later and Pantera is still
touring. Yeah on the bill. Yeah,

344
00:27:29.400 --> 00:27:32.839
you know what, Like there's people
that throw shade at these bands for

345
00:27:32.960 --> 00:27:36.000
doing it, but you know what, if people want to go see them,

346
00:27:36.279 --> 00:27:37.400
and if you don't want to go
see them, don't go. Like

347
00:27:37.599 --> 00:27:42.440
I remember somebody was saying something about
one of the festivals and Slayer playing there,

348
00:27:44.000 --> 00:27:48.000
and I just responded, then don't
go. If you don't want to

349
00:27:48.039 --> 00:27:51.799
see their set, don't see their
set. You know. It's like,

350
00:27:52.240 --> 00:27:56.640
I don't get why people complain about
the stupidest shit. There's sixty fricking bands.

351
00:27:56.759 --> 00:28:00.519
If there's one band you don't want
to see, then don't don't see

352
00:28:00.559 --> 00:28:04.279
them. Jealous, Yeah, I'm
glad I have so I have. My

353
00:28:04.359 --> 00:28:08.279
complaints are more about like trying to
figure out like how many bands you can

354
00:28:08.359 --> 00:28:14.759
see physically, you know, right, like that looks like an absolute marathon,

355
00:28:15.079 --> 00:28:18.799
you know, how to make it
one stage the other? Well.

356
00:28:18.799 --> 00:28:22.200
See, the cool thing about the
Danny Wimmer festivals is Danny Wimmer has like

357
00:28:22.359 --> 00:28:27.759
kind of taken the template of the
European festivals and apply them more here in

358
00:28:27.799 --> 00:28:33.359
the US, because the US has
always been known to be more like like

359
00:28:33.960 --> 00:28:37.160
a carnival, the festivals, like
in the type of food and the way

360
00:28:37.200 --> 00:28:41.799
things are laid out and stuff,
where Europeans was always like this, like

361
00:28:41.880 --> 00:28:47.240
the template for how a festival should
be. And I think then then you're

362
00:28:47.240 --> 00:28:52.400
gonna find when you do Ladder in
Life and Aftershock that that's kind of what

363
00:28:52.480 --> 00:28:57.400
it's like, you know. Yeah, so we'll have to get together then

364
00:28:57.559 --> 00:29:02.480
there as well, and maybe what
we can do the Slayer pit together.

365
00:29:03.440 --> 00:29:07.200
Yeah, yeah, a lot more
likely after shock, but like whatever,

366
00:29:07.200 --> 00:29:11.039
we will the Louder Life to you
exactly. Any thing else you want to

367
00:29:11.119 --> 00:29:15.640
let anybody know before we go.
We didn't drop our socials yet. Do

368
00:29:15.640 --> 00:29:18.440
you want to handle this? Yeah, sure, yeah, we're on all

369
00:29:18.480 --> 00:29:26.519
that shit fucking. We also have
a record that we are gonna print more

370
00:29:26.400 --> 00:29:33.200
units of our first vinyl record.
It's a compilation of the you know,

371
00:29:33.359 --> 00:29:37.920
first few EPs and singles that we
put out. Until now, it's been

372
00:29:38.400 --> 00:29:44.359
sold out for a period of time, but we are definitely gonna print more

373
00:29:44.640 --> 00:29:48.920
copies of those, so be on
the lookout for those. Just google teen

374
00:29:48.000 --> 00:29:52.799
mortgage or you can google teenage mortgage. It'll will still come up. We're

375
00:29:52.000 --> 00:30:00.799
team Mortgage, potentially Google kids in
the Sandbox. Yeah. So if there's

376
00:30:00.839 --> 00:30:04.559
a social thing that people are on, we're probably on Instagram. We're on

377
00:30:04.640 --> 00:30:10.880
room skate top. Yeah. How
about how about TikTok. Yeah, we're

378
00:30:10.880 --> 00:30:15.240
on TikTok. Yeah, so I
post, I post bullshit to TikTok sometimes.

379
00:30:15.119 --> 00:30:21.279
So what would what would you say
is your I don't know, funniest

380
00:30:21.400 --> 00:30:27.799
or best or worst TikTok? Then
the best sick talk we did? Uh?

381
00:30:29.519 --> 00:30:34.039
We just went on tour with this
bond death Lenes from La and uh

382
00:30:34.640 --> 00:30:38.319
we like play me and the druma
played a game of skate with each other.

383
00:30:40.920 --> 00:30:47.319
Nice. Yeah I won. Pretty
sick. What I thought was really

384
00:30:47.359 --> 00:30:52.759
cool on your Facebook and I actually
stole it to use for the beginning of

385
00:30:52.759 --> 00:30:55.400
this interview because I always in the
beginning of an interview, I put,

386
00:30:55.799 --> 00:31:00.559
like the latest video of the band, yeah, and I had pulled up

387
00:31:00.680 --> 00:31:04.000
one video and I'm like, that
was cool. But then I saw on

388
00:31:04.039 --> 00:31:10.039
your Facebook that's video from Punk Rock
Bowling, and I thought that was cool

389
00:31:10.319 --> 00:31:12.400
as hell. So that's going to
be in the beginning of this interview,

390
00:31:14.519 --> 00:31:18.160
and you see it. I think
it's hard to keep tracks. I think

391
00:31:18.160 --> 00:31:22.720
that's one that someone took maybe and
I think so. And it was like,

392
00:31:22.079 --> 00:31:27.359
I don't know, it had this
cool like boxes and boxes type of

393
00:31:27.400 --> 00:31:33.720
thing, and you yeah, it
starts off with just the noise and then

394
00:31:33.759 --> 00:31:40.519
the guitar and it was from your
set, you know so, But it

395
00:31:40.680 --> 00:31:44.240
was like kind of cool the way
they did the video. Oh was it

396
00:31:44.279 --> 00:31:47.839
when we were at the club show? I think so, yeah, that's

397
00:31:47.920 --> 00:31:52.960
that's a really awesome string change is
what that is? Okay, Like the

398
00:31:53.000 --> 00:31:57.799
first was like, oh they stylized
us changing guitars. Okay, I know

399
00:31:57.960 --> 00:32:00.920
right. I mean it's cool.
To watch it back, you'd be like,

400
00:32:00.920 --> 00:32:04.359
oh, it actually does look cool, like nice, it did,

401
00:32:04.599 --> 00:32:09.119
it did succeeded, you know there
you go, so well, you guys
