played ship Rock before?

14
00:01:13.760 --> 00:01:13.959
Yes?

15
00:01:14.079 --> 00:01:14.920
How many times?

16
00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:18.159
Just once? Like seven years ago? Wow?

17
00:01:18.480 --> 00:01:20.480
What did it feel like when you got invited back?

18
00:01:21.239 --> 00:01:24.519
It was nice? It's great, Like we want as much

19
00:01:24.560 --> 00:01:25.879
exposure as possible.

20
00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:30.599
How do you like playing on the boat posed to festivals?

21
00:01:30.719 --> 00:01:34.400
Being on the boat. My room has a balcony and

22
00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:36.879
I get the lookout over the water, and it's kind

23
00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:39.000
of like romantic in a way to be in that

24
00:01:39.159 --> 00:01:42.400
tight quarter. And if you're on a hotel that moves

25
00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:47.239
and right in a sea of nothingness except for blue,

26
00:01:47.560 --> 00:01:50.680
I think that's pretty cool. And I was thinking about

27
00:01:50.719 --> 00:01:53.280
it yesterday, like I don't know how anybody could complain.

28
00:01:53.879 --> 00:01:56.760
I know, I think about too, like how cool is

29
00:01:56.799 --> 00:02:01.959
it that you're playing on the boat and there's nobody

30
00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:04.439
for miles a mile, so you like you don't even

31
00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:08.080
like nobody has to think about how loud it is

32
00:02:08.360 --> 00:02:10.719
or whatever. It's like you're just out in the middle

33
00:02:10.719 --> 00:02:12.680
of nowhere in a private concert.

34
00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:16.520
Yeah. I always wanted to like take a frighter so

35
00:02:16.639 --> 00:02:20.919
my dog could travel with me to Europe. Like obviously

36
00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:22.960
it's a crap shoot dream, it's not a real dream,

37
00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:25.680
but looking it up and that, But that's pretty much

38
00:02:25.719 --> 00:02:27.120
what I'm doing right now. Yeah.

39
00:02:27.319 --> 00:02:28.719
Right, you know what kind of dog?

40
00:02:29.199 --> 00:02:31.360
It's a border coal he slash Ausie shepherd.

41
00:02:31.759 --> 00:02:33.360
Nice. Yeah, how old?

42
00:02:33.400 --> 00:02:34.680
How long are four years old?

43
00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:35.080
Wow?

44
00:02:35.199 --> 00:02:35.719
Yeah?

45
00:02:35.800 --> 00:02:37.919
That does the dog come on tour with you?

46
00:02:38.439 --> 00:02:41.680
We tried that once and it was too much stimulation, yeah,

47
00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:44.840
you know, just too many new people. And by the

48
00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:50.240
end of it, he was acting pretty weird and wasn't shitting.

49
00:02:50.759 --> 00:02:54.360
So I sent him home with my mom and dad's

50
00:02:54.360 --> 00:02:57.159
and he got there and immediately took like five craps.

51
00:02:57.960 --> 00:03:01.319
Yeah, he was not digging too much for him. Yeah.

52
00:03:01.400 --> 00:03:03.840
I was pretty upset, to be honest, because I didn't

53
00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:06.039
really know what was wrong with him? Yeah, that's just

54
00:03:06.280 --> 00:03:08.840
not the place for a dog. I should have been smarter.

55
00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:10.960
Sometimes it's too much for you, isn't it.

56
00:03:11.199 --> 00:03:13.800
I would say that, Yeah, yeah, of course, yeah.

57
00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:16.120
Yeah, So thinking of them, they're like and they're so

58
00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:20.039
sensitive to your ears and everything like that. So but

59
00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:21.960
it would be kind of cool you're playing on stage

60
00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:23.400
and see your dog side stage.

61
00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:26.199
Yeah, well, it's nice coming down to him after the show.

62
00:03:26.400 --> 00:03:29.080
Liking or not. He is my best buddy, so hey,

63
00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:30.439
there's a reason. Yeah.

64
00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:33.759
They always love you no matter what. They're always happy

65
00:03:33.840 --> 00:03:37.759
to see you. You know, I have four kids. The

66
00:03:37.919 --> 00:03:43.479
dog was always yeah, the nicer one. Yeah, dog always

67
00:03:43.560 --> 00:03:45.840
loves you. It never hates you, never yells at you,

68
00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:49.280
never disrespects you, and he's always happy at your home

69
00:03:49.560 --> 00:03:54.840
and doesn't give you the fucking evil eye. Enough right, Yeah, man,

70
00:03:55.120 --> 00:03:57.120
what are you gonna do after ship Rock? What's going

71
00:03:57.159 --> 00:03:58.400
on for twenty twenty five?

72
00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:02.879
For just chilling? Like we're writing and we got some

73
00:04:02.919 --> 00:04:06.439
shows obviously, but yeah, we're just seeing.

74
00:04:06.120 --> 00:04:09.639
What happens the writing process. How would you say it's

75
00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:11.879
different now compared two years ago?

76
00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:14.159
For you, Well, we've been through a lot of different

77
00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:17.439
writing processes. So like at the start of our career,

78
00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:20.160
we would just get in and drink beer and jam, right,

79
00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:25.000
was awesome, and then you know, it turned into we

80
00:04:25.040 --> 00:04:27.600
go in when the songs. You get a batch of

81
00:04:27.600 --> 00:04:31.040
songs and you pile it on top of one another,

82
00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:35.759
and now we're back to, like, I guess, an amalgamation

83
00:04:35.879 --> 00:04:38.519
of the two, where we're just kind of jamming, but

84
00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:41.160
with a little more direction. Sometimes I think it would

85
00:04:41.160 --> 00:04:44.560
be cool to have no direction and just see what happens, right,

86
00:04:44.680 --> 00:04:47.240
I think that might be a cool way to do

87
00:04:47.240 --> 00:04:50.040
it as a band again. So maybe I'll try that

88
00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:54.120
with the guys and just see what it sparks. Because

89
00:04:54.120 --> 00:04:58.360
sometimes a song is great. It's important to play to

90
00:04:58.480 --> 00:05:01.680
a song, but sometimes if you're playing in the confines

91
00:05:01.720 --> 00:05:05.319
of a song, you're not allowing people to be like

92
00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:08.839
free to break structures too, yeah, to do things. Part

93
00:05:08.879 --> 00:05:11.560
of me does think it would be cool to go

94
00:05:11.639 --> 00:05:14.800
back and just with nothing, just see what happens.

95
00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:18.079
I think it's cool because like, okay, you take bands

96
00:05:18.199 --> 00:05:22.480
like The Dead as an example, Yeah, like you never

97
00:05:22.519 --> 00:05:24.800
knew what was going to come out, Oh yeah, you know,

98
00:05:25.160 --> 00:05:27.519
And I think that's cool, and that's why people were

99
00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:30.959
so cultish about it, because you could go to literally

100
00:05:31.079 --> 00:05:34.120
every show anywhere and it'd be a different show. Yeah,

101
00:05:34.279 --> 00:05:36.639
Whereas like I even find now like I'd cover all

102
00:05:36.680 --> 00:05:40.040
the festivals and by the end of the season, like

103
00:05:40.079 --> 00:05:44.680
when I've seen a band like ten twenty times to show, right, Yeah,

104
00:05:44.759 --> 00:05:46.759
I sit there and people like how you like, I'll

105
00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:49.600
sit there and quote what they say in between songs.

106
00:05:49.639 --> 00:05:51.759
You know how you know that I've only seen them

107
00:05:51.759 --> 00:05:52.959
ten million times this year?

108
00:05:53.040 --> 00:05:56.480
Okay, Well, this thing is it is a show, right, right.

109
00:05:56.519 --> 00:05:59.279
That's one of the things is at the end of

110
00:05:59.319 --> 00:06:01.600
the day, you're trying to put on a show. And

111
00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:05.120
some people do feel better if they're more prepared in

112
00:06:05.160 --> 00:06:09.480
that way to do that. So it does make sense.

113
00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:12.360
But I do think there is also something to be

114
00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:15.319
said with just being president in a moment and trying

115
00:06:16.040 --> 00:06:18.839
to have faith in kind of the unexpected.

116
00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:24.079
I believe that wholeheartedly. And I think for a musician, Okay,

117
00:06:24.959 --> 00:06:30.240
a true musician can't be stuck in these guidelines and

118
00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:35.800
this one straight road or whatever, because isn't part being

119
00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:41.800
a musician. Isn't that like being creative, experimenting, seeing what

120
00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:44.360
you can do? Yeah, where you can go?

121
00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:47.800
I would say, Yeah, I think I mean too. I

122
00:06:47.839 --> 00:06:53.240
mean that's you even your music. I mean, there are

123
00:06:53.399 --> 00:06:56.879
great outliers like ACDC. For some reason, you respect them

124
00:06:56.879 --> 00:06:59.600
for doing the same thing for years, and they are

125
00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:02.560
definitely one of the greatest rock bands of all time.

126
00:07:02.839 --> 00:07:07.560
They were my first love. But when I'm in it personally,

127
00:07:08.959 --> 00:07:11.360
if we were to just keep on doing the same things,

128
00:07:12.079 --> 00:07:14.160
it's just not as fulfilling.

129
00:07:13.959 --> 00:07:18.000
Right, and not fun. No, And like, and I guess

130
00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:20.920
you have a vibe. Yeah, so if you're in a

131
00:07:20.959 --> 00:07:23.800
certain mood and vibe and just let that vibe, just

132
00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:27.079
go with it. Yeah, you know, and I think some

133
00:07:27.160 --> 00:07:31.480
of the greatest solos that's where it comes from. Like

134
00:07:31.920 --> 00:07:34.720
artists can just do whatever comes in their head and

135
00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:35.920
no structure whatsoever.

136
00:07:36.399 --> 00:07:40.040
Yeah, And it's not even necessarily what comes in their head,

137
00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:42.360
because I think a lot of times actually they're just

138
00:07:42.439 --> 00:07:45.680
kind of relying on their unconscious and their fingers and

139
00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:49.759
the crowd. Yeah. And then they can make patterns, yea.

140
00:07:49.839 --> 00:07:52.199
Then they can make the patterns afterward, they can connect

141
00:07:52.199 --> 00:07:57.519
the dots afterward. But sometimes I think that we actually

142
00:07:57.560 --> 00:07:58.959
rely on our heads too much.

143
00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:02.720
Maybe, Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. Yeah, what

144
00:08:02.759 --> 00:08:05.959
would you say, if you were to pick one story

145
00:08:06.480 --> 00:08:10.839
good or bad, crazy, not crazy, that really is implanted

146
00:08:10.879 --> 00:08:13.680
in your head from all these years of music, what

147
00:08:13.720 --> 00:08:14.160
would it be.

148
00:08:14.879 --> 00:08:17.240
Well, there's a lot of them, and whenever I get

149
00:08:17.279 --> 00:08:19.600
asked these questions, even though there's a lot of them,

150
00:08:19.639 --> 00:08:20.680
I can ever think of them.

151
00:08:20.959 --> 00:08:23.199
That's usually the case. That's why I love the question.

152
00:08:23.800 --> 00:08:26.399
It's like wow, it gets people to think.

153
00:08:27.120 --> 00:08:30.480
Jesus still thinking that's cool.

154
00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:35.360
A story like something like just it doesn't even have

155
00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:37.919
to be downport, it's just something like holy shit.

156
00:08:38.320 --> 00:08:41.440
I don't think there's really like anything that sticks out

157
00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:44.600
that right now coming to my brain. But we were

158
00:08:44.639 --> 00:08:49.279
discussing a couple of days ago touring and the best

159
00:08:49.279 --> 00:08:52.360
part of touring is when you get back on the

160
00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:55.799
bus and there's like nine of you and you're sitting

161
00:08:55.799 --> 00:08:59.240
in this cramped space and you got liquor and beer,

162
00:09:00.039 --> 00:09:02.279
and you're moving on the road and you're gonna stop

163
00:09:02.919 --> 00:09:05.360
at a gas station and people are gonna get off

164
00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:08.840
and get shit snacks, you throw a movie on. You

165
00:09:08.879 --> 00:09:11.720
just sit there and you're together and you still like

166
00:09:11.799 --> 00:09:15.360
each other, and you're getting drunk together or maybe not

167
00:09:15.440 --> 00:09:18.080
even having to get drunk, and you're just smiling and

168
00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:20.720
hanging out. I don't think that there's a lot of

169
00:09:20.759 --> 00:09:23.639
people that can experience what it's like to make a

170
00:09:23.679 --> 00:09:29.399
career out of a hunting camp. Right, it's honestly unbelievable

171
00:09:29.440 --> 00:09:32.840
when you actually like take when you take that into

172
00:09:32.840 --> 00:09:35.440
account and realize that you're very lucky just to be

173
00:09:35.480 --> 00:09:38.919
able to do it. And it's just if you can

174
00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:42.000
make good out of the mundanity of what you're doing.

175
00:09:42.840 --> 00:09:43.879
I think that's the key.

176
00:09:44.639 --> 00:09:46.919
And you have to get along, like you're a family

177
00:09:47.639 --> 00:09:50.279
and you're around each other like that, and you don't

178
00:09:50.279 --> 00:09:52.080
get along. That's the recipe for detection.

179
00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:54.279
You can have it. You can have a shit show

180
00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:58.039
sometimes like the worst show, and people can be off

181
00:09:58.080 --> 00:10:01.000
and you can be off. You get back on the

182
00:10:01.039 --> 00:10:04.120
bus when you're done, kind of laughing about it. It

183
00:10:04.159 --> 00:10:05.759
doesn't change anything in your life.

184
00:10:05.879 --> 00:10:07.399
Yeah, I love that.

185
00:10:07.440 --> 00:10:09.720
Who cares? Right, you're just having fun.

186
00:10:10.000 --> 00:10:13.399
Well. I find there's two types of people. There's people

187
00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:16.120
that can go on the road. Yeah, there's people that can't.

188
00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:18.600
Oh yeah, And by what you're saying, you love being

189
00:10:18.639 --> 00:10:21.360
on the road, and it just takes a certain type.

190
00:10:21.399 --> 00:10:23.960
I go through it too, Like sometimes I'll bring one

191
00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:27.360
of my daughters to festivals and the first day halfway

192
00:10:27.399 --> 00:10:29.159
Thursday's like that. I don't know how you do this

193
00:10:29.279 --> 00:10:32.240
every weekend, Yeah, I'm done to ray, I'm like, I

194
00:10:32.240 --> 00:10:34.240
don't know how. I don't. I get home just like

195
00:10:34.279 --> 00:10:37.320
you do, and it's like fucking depressing to be home.

196
00:10:37.559 --> 00:10:39.000
YEA guy want to go back out.

197
00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:42.039
Yeah, you know, and sometimes you don't want to go right.

198
00:10:42.039 --> 00:10:44.639
And then you just seclude. Yeah, that's what I do.

199
00:10:44.799 --> 00:10:48.519
I like, like before ship Rock, the festival season's over,

200
00:10:48.720 --> 00:10:50.799
so there's like a month gap. I don't think I

201
00:10:50.879 --> 00:10:52.240
left a house for like a month.

202
00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:54.720
Yeah, you know. Oh, and it's good too. And if

203
00:10:54.759 --> 00:10:58.919
I learned to be happy there and happy exactly, then

204
00:10:59.480 --> 00:11:02.000
I think that something figured out. And that's the long

205
00:11:02.200 --> 00:11:05.720
I think that's one of the hardest thing things that

206
00:11:06.200 --> 00:11:09.519
touring musicians deal with is the come downs and the

207
00:11:09.679 --> 00:11:13.120
getting back up to raising their energy levels to kind

208
00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:16.080
of get back to perform. That's not yeah, it's not

209
00:11:16.120 --> 00:11:19.320
really anything that you can explain to somebody. It's just

210
00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:23.879
it's a unique life. But yeah, you have to take

211
00:11:24.320 --> 00:11:29.279
certain steps to preserve yourself and to say thankful in

212
00:11:29.320 --> 00:11:29.679
a way.

213
00:11:29.879 --> 00:11:33.279
Yeah, because you're constantly on emotional roller coaster when you're

214
00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:33.919
a road dog.

215
00:11:34.080 --> 00:11:38.039
Yeah, well yeah, and believe me, sometimes I get off stage,

216
00:11:38.080 --> 00:11:41.679
we have a crappy show, and I fucking snap right,

217
00:11:42.039 --> 00:11:44.240
I'm learning how to not do it because I'm mad.

218
00:11:44.279 --> 00:11:47.240
I'm mad at myself. I've you know, you equate it,

219
00:11:47.879 --> 00:11:50.919
not this, but you equate it to Michael Jordan. We're

220
00:11:51.000 --> 00:11:54.840
sports background guys. We want to go out there and

221
00:11:54.879 --> 00:11:59.240
we want to perform. So if you're not performing at

222
00:11:59.240 --> 00:12:02.960
your top level, don't really hurt yourself. Yeah, you get

223
00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:07.039
better at it. And like I said, you get back

224
00:12:07.080 --> 00:12:09.279
on the bus and you just have fun because.

225
00:12:09.039 --> 00:12:11.840
You're your own worst critic. Anyway, when you're an artist,

226
00:12:11.879 --> 00:12:14.279
you're your own worst critic. Like how many times do

227
00:12:14.320 --> 00:12:16.159
you get off in your piss because you thought it

228
00:12:16.200 --> 00:12:19.440
was a bad show, but yet the audience were like cheering,

229
00:12:19.559 --> 00:12:21.120
like it's the best show ever.

230
00:12:21.360 --> 00:12:25.480
Yeah yeah, yeah, you know you still always I think

231
00:12:26.480 --> 00:12:29.080
you always have something in you that you can be better.

232
00:12:29.159 --> 00:12:31.120
And yeah, if you can learn to tame that a

233
00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:33.240
little bit, it's good. But I think you can't lose

234
00:12:33.240 --> 00:12:36.600
it either, because I don't know it serves you in

235
00:12:36.639 --> 00:12:45.039
the pursuit of I guess art and yeah, world domination.

236
00:12:45.360 --> 00:12:49.519
Right. How do you find the ship rockers the people

237
00:12:49.559 --> 00:12:52.159
that come on ship rock compare to people that see

238
00:12:52.240 --> 00:12:55.399
you at your shows at the festivals. Are they like

239
00:12:55.440 --> 00:12:56.320
a different breed?

240
00:12:57.000 --> 00:13:00.919
I would say that the shiprockers they there's an individuality

241
00:13:00.960 --> 00:13:03.799
and each person, like everybody is trying to look as

242
00:13:03.840 --> 00:13:06.519
crazy as possible. Like some of the shirts that I've

243
00:13:06.559 --> 00:13:10.960
seen are absolutely hilarious. One guy's shirt said I survived

244
00:13:11.039 --> 00:13:16.840
the abortion and he was like so normal other than

245
00:13:16.879 --> 00:13:20.120
his shirt, I was like, what the fuck's going on here? Right?

246
00:13:20.440 --> 00:13:23.120
And it was awesome. But yeah, you learn to love them,

247
00:13:23.399 --> 00:13:26.399
like they're just all really polite and kind people and

248
00:13:26.720 --> 00:13:29.240
everybody's sticking out in their own way and bending in

249
00:13:29.320 --> 00:13:30.080
at the same time.

250
00:13:30.279 --> 00:13:31.519
Yeah.

251
00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:34.240
Yeah, it's really great. I think that it's a bunch

252
00:13:34.240 --> 00:13:37.840
of people being themselves and they've got a nice community here.

253
00:13:38.399 --> 00:13:39.799
Having fun. That's the main thing.

254
00:13:40.120 --> 00:13:43.039
That's the key. Yeah, And I love seeing that the

255
00:13:43.320 --> 00:13:47.120
artists have fun that on ship Rocks. Yeah, I've talked to.

256
00:13:47.279 --> 00:13:49.000
Rightbody I talked to was having fun.

257
00:13:49.120 --> 00:13:51.279
Yeah, so how can it be bad?

258
00:13:51.440 --> 00:13:55.559
Yeah? Yeah, And I don't know, to be honest, what

259
00:13:55.600 --> 00:13:58.000
people pay to be on here, but it's not cheap,

260
00:13:58.320 --> 00:14:02.279
not bad, so fucking good for them. Like, so, no doubt.

261
00:14:03.320 --> 00:14:05.759
One of my most insane things about coming on chip

262
00:14:05.840 --> 00:14:09.519
Rocked is that I'll be able to breathe after this,

263
00:14:09.919 --> 00:14:11.720
you know, the festival flew guy.

264
00:14:11.639 --> 00:14:13.960
Yeah, you get you get three or four months off

265
00:14:14.039 --> 00:14:14.720
or is it three?

266
00:14:15.600 --> 00:14:19.159
My last festival is usually in like November, and then

267
00:14:19.200 --> 00:14:22.360
I start up again in January, so it's like Jesus,

268
00:14:22.480 --> 00:14:24.240
less than two months. But you know how it is,

269
00:14:25.240 --> 00:14:28.200
like you can't breathe after a while. The whole time.

270
00:14:28.480 --> 00:14:30.480
I don't even know how singers do it with the

271
00:14:30.519 --> 00:14:33.679
festival dust. Yeah, because I'm talking and then I get

272
00:14:33.679 --> 00:14:37.279
that shit in me and by second third day my

273
00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:40.519
voice is done. Yeah, and I'm like, how does singers

274
00:14:40.559 --> 00:14:41.240
do it? You know?

275
00:14:41.399 --> 00:14:46.960
Trailers? Right? Yeah? Getting out of there afterward. I mean,

276
00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:53.720
we played a festival in Vancouver. I think it was

277
00:14:53.759 --> 00:14:56.679
called Boone. No it wasn't Boone Stuck because that one's

278
00:14:56.720 --> 00:15:01.559
down south. Forget what it was. But we were camping

279
00:15:02.519 --> 00:15:05.679
and yeah, the mud was caked on you after three.

280
00:15:05.559 --> 00:15:06.399
Days, oh, no doubt.

281
00:15:06.480 --> 00:15:08.399
Yeah. I can't really tell of the mud effected our

282
00:15:08.480 --> 00:15:11.879
voice as much as the nights, but yeah, it's still fun.

283
00:15:11.919 --> 00:15:13.440
You kind of just get in the mode.

284
00:15:13.279 --> 00:15:16.159
No doubt. Yeah, it's just a it's a lifestyle.

285
00:15:16.240 --> 00:15:18.080
Yeah, Like you guys are in a tent, right, like

286
00:15:18.120 --> 00:15:19.240
they set up a tent for you.

287
00:15:19.519 --> 00:15:20.519
We have a media tent.

288
00:15:20.679 --> 00:15:22.279
And then where do you sleep? But you have a

289
00:15:22.279 --> 00:15:23.360
hotel offsite or.

290
00:15:23.360 --> 00:15:26.240
Do you sleep depends it's our choice. So like I

291
00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:28.960
usually stay at a hotel. But there's some that are

292
00:15:28.960 --> 00:15:32.919
worth camping, like Rock Oklahoma. I love to camp with Oklahoma.

293
00:15:33.000 --> 00:15:36.679
It's like the best camping festival I do. The European

294
00:15:36.720 --> 00:15:40.960
and the UK festivals, I won't camp there because have

295
00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:44.360
you seen like they carry all their shit for like miles,

296
00:15:45.399 --> 00:15:49.000
like at least especially doing me. If I'm camping, like

297
00:15:49.080 --> 00:15:52.159
I'll bring a vehicle in so that I have power

298
00:15:52.480 --> 00:15:54.879
so I can upload my interviews and do what I

299
00:15:54.919 --> 00:15:57.919
gotta do. And then also if there's weather, I'll just

300
00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:00.440
have a jeep. I'll sleep in my g I got

301
00:16:00.440 --> 00:16:04.279
one ten in the jeep and everything. Yeah, but in Europe,

302
00:16:04.320 --> 00:16:07.879
you can't drive up to the campsite really like here,

303
00:16:07.960 --> 00:16:11.200
you park on your campsite, no, and you see everybody

304
00:16:11.320 --> 00:16:15.679
just walking for like five miles with all their gear

305
00:16:16.000 --> 00:16:18.360
it's just how Europe is. I don't know, it's weird.

306
00:16:19.200 --> 00:16:22.200
And you know, the camping's free in Europe because by

307
00:16:22.279 --> 00:16:25.480
law they can't charge extra for the camping. So maybe

308
00:16:25.480 --> 00:16:28.240
that's why. Maybe here you're gaining a camping spot and

309
00:16:28.240 --> 00:16:30.320
that's what you get a spot, and like we gotta

310
00:16:30.320 --> 00:16:30.919
fit everybody.

311
00:16:30.960 --> 00:16:31.799
Okay.

312
00:16:31.799 --> 00:16:34.879
Maybe I don't know, but I see these people humping

313
00:16:34.960 --> 00:16:38.720
their shit for miles through like not even roads, through

314
00:16:38.720 --> 00:16:41.799
the grass and stuff all their camping gear. I'm like, yeah,

315
00:16:41.799 --> 00:16:42.440
I ain't doing that.

316
00:16:42.519 --> 00:16:45.720
Maybe they get like more satisfaction because of it.

317
00:16:45.840 --> 00:16:47.960
Oh, they love it. They're used to it. They love it.

318
00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:50.080
They're used to it. They don't even they wouldn't even

319
00:16:50.159 --> 00:16:50.799
know difference.

320
00:16:50.840 --> 00:16:53.080
You'd get used to it too, it would.

321
00:16:53.279 --> 00:16:57.159
I would. I don't know, but I will tell you.

322
00:16:57.200 --> 00:16:59.440
The campgrounds are crazy over there too, like I did.

323
00:16:59.559 --> 00:17:02.600
Hell f y yeah, And after the night was over,

324
00:17:02.639 --> 00:17:04.839
I'm like, let me see what the campground's like. And

325
00:17:04.880 --> 00:17:08.039
they were having shopping cart races. There was the funniest

326
00:17:08.039 --> 00:17:12.799
shit ever, and the whole crowd around France. It's like

327
00:17:12.880 --> 00:17:16.680
one of the biggest like rock metal festivals in the world.

328
00:17:16.960 --> 00:17:21.319
It's really it's kind of a badass festival because they

329
00:17:21.400 --> 00:17:24.519
own the whole property, so it's decorated all year round,

330
00:17:24.559 --> 00:17:28.279
and like they have a big lemmy fucking sculpture that's

331
00:17:28.359 --> 00:17:32.720
like sky high, and then they have like fire at

332
00:17:32.799 --> 00:17:36.039
night that goes up all over like you think you're

333
00:17:36.079 --> 00:17:36.400
in hell.

334
00:17:36.680 --> 00:17:39.440
Okay cool? Yeah, yeah, I like when they do that.

335
00:17:39.680 --> 00:17:43.799
Yeah, the European festivals are definitely a whole nother level. Yeah,

336
00:17:44.400 --> 00:17:47.000
you know, And even if you talk to like hell Fests,

337
00:17:47.039 --> 00:17:49.759
perfect example, I talked to a lot of bands, and

338
00:17:49.839 --> 00:17:53.319
one thing they always say is like, it's amazing. We

339
00:17:53.480 --> 00:17:57.680
love the sound check here to because basically the load

340
00:17:57.720 --> 00:17:59.960
in they don't have to do shit. Then they sound check,

341
00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:02.240
it takes them like two to five minutes and they

342
00:18:02.279 --> 00:18:02.920
have it perfect.

343
00:18:03.160 --> 00:18:03.400
Okay.

344
00:18:03.440 --> 00:18:06.279
And like the year I did hell Fest after COVID,

345
00:18:06.359 --> 00:18:09.160
the first year they had like they did two weekends,

346
00:18:09.200 --> 00:18:12.680
three hundred and sixty bands. Yeah, not one band went

347
00:18:12.720 --> 00:18:15.440
on late and not one band had sound problems. Could

348
00:18:15.440 --> 00:18:18.720
you fucking imagine that? Like that never happens? When does

349
00:18:18.720 --> 00:18:22.279
that happen? Like more likely you've probably experienced a shit

350
00:18:22.359 --> 00:18:26.960
show with that kind of stuff more often than that, right, Yeah,

351
00:18:27.000 --> 00:18:30.160
you know, it's roughly, it's not your sound person, it's

352
00:18:30.200 --> 00:18:32.119
somebody else doing this sum you know.

353
00:18:32.880 --> 00:18:36.839
Well, I feel like they definitely do stuff over there.

354
00:18:37.880 --> 00:18:41.119
Somethings better, yeah, and I some things.

355
00:18:41.240 --> 00:18:44.599
Yeah, something's better here. Yeah, but I can tell you

356
00:18:44.680 --> 00:18:47.640
now ship rocked. I don't know. I think this thing

357
00:18:47.799 --> 00:18:52.160
is run like a well oiled machine. Like it's unbelievable,

358
00:18:52.839 --> 00:18:55.640
like and even the sound. I was surprised how great

359
00:18:55.680 --> 00:18:59.000
the sound is for being on a ship. Yeah, it's amazing.

360
00:18:59.240 --> 00:19:01.839
There's also like a charm to like the freedom of

361
00:19:01.880 --> 00:19:08.359
American messiness that that you miss when you go do

362
00:19:08.559 --> 00:19:12.680
other shit, right, you know, right because we're Canadian, so so.

363
00:19:12.759 --> 00:19:13.759
It's Nicole here.

364
00:19:13.839 --> 00:19:15.440
Yeah, so there's that.

365
00:19:16.559 --> 00:19:18.759
I was telling her before. I'm like, the band were

366
00:19:18.799 --> 00:19:21.839
interviewed there Canadian because you know how you commands are.

367
00:19:22.319 --> 00:19:23.440
I went to stick together.

368
00:19:23.599 --> 00:19:28.000
I went to Japan last Christmas after and me and

369
00:19:28.079 --> 00:19:32.119
my buddy we got these train tickets and the train

370
00:19:32.160 --> 00:19:34.759
looked empty. It's like the bullet train or whatever the

371
00:19:34.759 --> 00:19:37.599
hell they call it. It's a really fast one. We're like, well,

372
00:19:37.640 --> 00:19:40.079
those seats kind of suck where that we got a

373
00:19:40.119 --> 00:19:43.079
sign and there's all these like open seats and we

374
00:19:43.119 --> 00:19:46.880
went and sat in it, and the train started filling

375
00:19:46.880 --> 00:19:51.359
off and there'd be these big line lineups getting out

376
00:19:51.400 --> 00:19:54.240
of the train. Obviously we were being selfish assholes, but

377
00:19:55.079 --> 00:20:00.119
we created like a traffic gym of people walking in

378
00:20:00.160 --> 00:20:03.559
the train because I didn't it didn't feel like anybody

379
00:20:03.599 --> 00:20:05.880
could fatho them that we would just steal seats that

380
00:20:06.039 --> 00:20:09.480
wearing arts, you know what I'm saying. Yes, And it's

381
00:20:09.480 --> 00:20:12.039
just kind of like blew my mind because you're like

382
00:20:12.119 --> 00:20:16.039
walking through people and it was definitely our fault. In America,

383
00:20:16.319 --> 00:20:18.279
that just wouldn't happen. People would just.

384
00:20:18.240 --> 00:20:21.000
Be like, all right, fucking listen, I'm originally from New

385
00:20:21.079 --> 00:20:23.559
York in New Jersey. Yeah, gets you get out a

386
00:20:23.680 --> 00:20:24.759
train in New York.

387
00:20:24.920 --> 00:20:29.039
Yeah, and for themselveslves yeah, Yeah, there's no sign.

388
00:20:29.359 --> 00:20:31.720
If somebody says to you, like you're in my seat,

389
00:20:31.920 --> 00:20:32.759
do fuck off?

390
00:20:32.960 --> 00:20:35.839
Yeah, well and maybe you'll get called out and nobody

391
00:20:35.920 --> 00:20:39.839
like a yelling match. But nobody's like sticking to these rules, right,

392
00:20:39.920 --> 00:20:41.039
you know, nobody cares.

393
00:20:41.400 --> 00:20:41.599
Right.

394
00:20:41.680 --> 00:20:44.799
You know, there's like a whole level of rules that

395
00:20:45.119 --> 00:20:49.000
people just don't give a shit about and that doesn't

396
00:20:49.039 --> 00:20:52.039
exist in Japan. Let me tell you that, like you're

397
00:20:52.079 --> 00:20:54.079
like the only guy smoking on the street. You're like,

398
00:20:54.160 --> 00:20:57.720
where the fuck is everybody? They have these like back,

399
00:20:58.839 --> 00:21:02.359
they have these screen day smoking sections. Oh yeah, on

400
00:21:02.440 --> 00:21:06.359
the streets in these places, And I mean, I'm not

401
00:21:06.400 --> 00:21:07.839
going to look for one of those every time I

402
00:21:07.839 --> 00:21:09.960
want to say, you know, right, yeah, I'm an asshole,

403
00:21:10.319 --> 00:21:11.279
I want my smoke.

404
00:21:11.839 --> 00:21:15.519
How about I was in Singapore and chewing gum is

405
00:21:15.519 --> 00:21:16.480
illegal m.

406
00:21:18.039 --> 00:21:19.119
I actually heard about that.

407
00:21:19.200 --> 00:21:25.920
Yeah, fired, but to their credit, right, And the bathrooms

408
00:21:25.960 --> 00:21:29.039
in the Singapore airport are like the cleanest bathrooms I've

409
00:21:29.319 --> 00:21:32.839
ever seen in my life anywhere. Yeah, it's you could

410
00:21:32.960 --> 00:21:34.319
eat off the bathroom floor.

411
00:21:34.559 --> 00:21:36.279
Yeah, it's actually very nice tho.

412
00:21:36.400 --> 00:21:39.079
So maybe there's something to that chewing gum either, can you?

413
00:21:39.319 --> 00:21:41.960
I don't think so. Yeah, I don't think so because

414
00:21:42.319 --> 00:21:45.720
I quit smoking like seven years ago with bugged me

415
00:21:45.799 --> 00:21:48.839
if I couldn't smoke, yeah, because I feel you like,

416
00:21:48.880 --> 00:21:49.839
it's like, well.

417
00:21:49.720 --> 00:21:51.640
It's just kind of hard if you're addicted. That's the

418
00:21:51.680 --> 00:21:52.079
only thing.

419
00:21:52.200 --> 00:21:55.440
Hey, listen. I was just telling her before, like if

420
00:21:55.440 --> 00:21:57.799
I do festivals like well, I used to warp to her,

421
00:21:58.039 --> 00:22:00.680
it would be like six hours of interviews, no break,

422
00:22:00.799 --> 00:22:01.640
like one after another.

423
00:22:01.960 --> 00:22:02.799
I would do that.

424
00:22:03.519 --> 00:22:06.960
Fuck, I told her, like, after I'm done, I didn't

425
00:22:07.000 --> 00:22:10.039
eat either all that time. Yeah, I smoked a cigarette

426
00:22:10.039 --> 00:22:13.240
before eating. Smoking what's more of a priority. But towards

427
00:22:13.279 --> 00:22:17.119
the end every interview, while I'm doing the interview, all

428
00:22:17.160 --> 00:22:20.119
I hear in my head is I need a cigarette cigarette.

429
00:22:20.400 --> 00:22:23.400
Which is so screwed up? Right, Yeah, it's that we

430
00:22:23.480 --> 00:22:24.599
do that. I know.

431
00:22:25.000 --> 00:22:28.359
Planes, I would always like I lay over, walk out

432
00:22:28.359 --> 00:22:31.039
of the airport and have to go back through security

433
00:22:31.119 --> 00:22:33.359
like that, I don't smoke. I'm like, man, it's nice.

434
00:22:33.359 --> 00:22:35.000
I don't have to go through security again.

435
00:22:35.200 --> 00:22:37.880
Paying to be a prisoner in your own minds, I know, right,

436
00:22:39.480 --> 00:22:42.240
Hell yeah, sign me up there it is. Yeah.

437
00:22:42.519 --> 00:22:45.079
So tell people how they can reach out to you. Uh,

438
00:22:45.960 --> 00:22:48.759
buy your merch, check out your tour dates, new music,

439
00:22:48.799 --> 00:22:49.599
all that good stuff.

440
00:22:50.200 --> 00:22:54.000
I believe it's www dot Glorious Suns or maybe it's

441
00:22:54.000 --> 00:22:56.880
Glorioussuns music dot com, but it's one of those. And

442
00:22:56.920 --> 00:22:59.160
that's where we have merch. And we have an app.

443
00:22:59.200 --> 00:23:02.400
It's a tgious Union app that you can download, and

444
00:23:02.519 --> 00:23:04.519
we're looking to get a little more active on there

445
00:23:04.559 --> 00:23:07.000
to try to reach out on a personal basis in

446
00:23:07.039 --> 00:23:15.319
a way I think with today's I guess social media

447
00:23:15.759 --> 00:23:20.079
craze of to day is that really there's so much music,

448
00:23:20.319 --> 00:23:25.519
so many people, so many artists, and it's a bit

449
00:23:25.519 --> 00:23:29.720
of a crapshoot trying to even reach your people that

450
00:23:30.200 --> 00:23:33.720
already are on your thing. So it's kind of my

451
00:23:33.799 --> 00:23:36.440
opinion that it's smarter to get back in a way

452
00:23:36.519 --> 00:23:39.039
to kind of like the one on one if you can.

453
00:23:39.200 --> 00:23:42.039
So we're trying to figure that out, Like, how do

454
00:23:42.079 --> 00:23:47.039
you do the mailing list thing in the modern age?

455
00:23:47.279 --> 00:23:48.640
I guess would be the best.

456
00:23:48.720 --> 00:23:51.359
Yeah, restart the tape trading days.

457
00:23:51.200 --> 00:23:55.519
Seriously though, like in a way, because I think that's

458
00:23:55.559 --> 00:23:59.400
a better way to get to the fan of your

459
00:23:59.480 --> 00:24:03.200
music and to make sure that it happens because based

460
00:24:03.240 --> 00:24:06.240
on algorithms and all this stuff, I don't that I

461
00:24:06.279 --> 00:24:10.200
don't necessarily understand, but everything that you're trying to get

462
00:24:10.200 --> 00:24:13.119
to them in the first place, but it's getting the

463
00:24:13.200 --> 00:24:17.160
more people somehow. I just it's the wild West. So

464
00:24:17.240 --> 00:24:19.160
it's a game. So how do you get it back

465
00:24:19.200 --> 00:24:21.480
to the personal feeling? How do you get back to

466
00:24:21.519 --> 00:24:23.960
the community of it all? And that's what we're going

467
00:24:24.000 --> 00:24:27.319
through right now, is how to achieve that. So the app,

468
00:24:27.480 --> 00:24:31.519
I think we're hoping to make the app more of that.

469
00:24:31.599 --> 00:24:33.200
So I think the app is a great idea.

470
00:24:33.319 --> 00:24:36.359
Yeah. The problem with the app, just being completely honest,

471
00:24:36.440 --> 00:24:38.759
is that who needs another app?

472
00:24:38.839 --> 00:24:40.960
That's what I do. Okay, So, like it used to

473
00:24:41.039 --> 00:24:44.319
be because I'm iHeart Radio talent and I used to

474
00:24:44.359 --> 00:24:46.359
tell people you want to hear the podcast, you gotta

475
00:24:46.359 --> 00:24:49.440
go to our iHeart Radio. Yeah you finally had to conform.

476
00:24:49.480 --> 00:24:53.160
I'm like, use whatever app you want to use, Like

477
00:24:53.240 --> 00:24:56.519
I put it on every single podcast outlet, like so

478
00:24:56.920 --> 00:24:59.599
because people don't want to download another app, I don't.

479
00:24:59.440 --> 00:25:02.640
Want the extra step. Yeah, that's why all this stuff

480
00:25:02.680 --> 00:25:05.640
is being made is to get rid of the steps. Yeah,

481
00:25:05.680 --> 00:25:08.680
you have to be pretty important to ask somebody to

482
00:25:09.039 --> 00:25:13.440
put an extra step into the process of them consuming

483
00:25:13.519 --> 00:25:18.039
information from you or and really we're not so hopefully

484
00:25:18.079 --> 00:25:20.319
it works, but if it doesn't, find another way to

485
00:25:20.359 --> 00:25:23.559
do it. There you go. But TGS Union at Glorias

486
00:25:23.599 --> 00:25:29.359
