c Y Radio. And I'm here
with My name is Stick Lucas, I

7
00:00:59.679 --> 00:01:02.759
sing for the Subhubans. We're here
in Las Vegas at the Punk Roll Bowling

8
00:01:03.119 --> 00:01:07.159
Annual event. It is a beautiful
thing to have you here at punk Rock

9
00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:11.079
boyl. It's really cool because I'm
super excited because I'll get to see you

10
00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:15.400
here today at the festival and the
main festival, but then I get to

11
00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:19.280
see you at club show too.
That's one of the things I love about

12
00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:22.719
Punk Rock Bowling. I don't even
remember. Have you guys ever played Punk

13
00:01:22.799 --> 00:01:26.920
Rock Bowling? Yeah, I think
it was twenty nineteen, perhaps, Okay,

14
00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:30.640
we did both the festival and the
club show after. Oh yeah,

15
00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:32.760
you know what. I think I
was at that one. That was the

16
00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:36.799
one where the Specials headline. But
it's such a cool festival. Isn't though,

17
00:01:36.840 --> 00:01:40.159
where you have like all these club
shows going on around the festival,

18
00:01:40.239 --> 00:01:45.760
and yet like basically the punks take
over all of downtown Las Vegas. Yeah,

19
00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:49.400
so all the weirdos in Las Vegas
are not the punks. The punks

20
00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:52.879
come along and make it seem a
bit more normal because it's just the weirdest

21
00:01:52.879 --> 00:01:57.079
place ever. And you see some
punks and you think, Okay, everything's

22
00:01:57.120 --> 00:02:00.480
looking a bit more sane. Now, you are right, because it is

23
00:02:00.599 --> 00:02:05.480
like I've been coming in Vegas since
I twelve, and I think the most

24
00:02:05.560 --> 00:02:08.360
normal I ever see it in downtown
Vegas is during punk rock bowling, right,

25
00:02:09.439 --> 00:02:14.919
which says a lot. So I
want to know, like, you

26
00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:19.719
guys have been doing it a long
long time. Man. Yes, scary,

27
00:02:21.560 --> 00:02:25.039
but we were back then. You
couldn't even conceive, Like I could

28
00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:29.759
never conceive that I would be going
to one of your shows in twenty twenty

29
00:02:29.759 --> 00:02:31.680
four. I didn't even think there
would be a twenty twenty four. No,

30
00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:35.560
but quite to see people who look
trying to look into the future and

31
00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:38.560
wonder to slash, worry about what
it's gonna be like just wasting the time

32
00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:40.159
You're never gonna know, get on
with the present and maybe book some it

33
00:02:40.199 --> 00:02:44.159
for next week or next month,
that's right, maybe next year, but

34
00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:47.319
looking forward ahead, and that is
just like gonna lead nowhere. Either you

35
00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:51.080
think it's gonna be great and it
isn't. Disappointed, you think it'd be

36
00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:53.319
awful and it isn't. You be
cheered up. But either way it's the

37
00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:58.199
pointed thing doing it. Might as
well work out how this week's going next

38
00:02:58.280 --> 00:03:01.240
month and put your heart and soul
into what's going on right now. I

39
00:03:01.479 --> 00:03:06.400
love that because I'm also a motivational
speaker. So I love that you said

40
00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:08.960
that, not only because I agree
with everything you said, but I like

41
00:03:09.039 --> 00:03:14.360
the image that when I do interviews
with punk bands that we throw out in

42
00:03:14.439 --> 00:03:17.319
the world because there's this image of
what punks are, and once I do

43
00:03:17.439 --> 00:03:23.240
interviews, I think that image is
very much different, you know, because

44
00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:27.000
we get to find out the real
people. People do judge by appearance way

45
00:03:27.080 --> 00:03:29.560
too much. Oh no, that
party. We live in a totally visual

46
00:03:29.639 --> 00:03:32.599
society where what people got to say
is secondary to what they look like exactly,

47
00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:37.159
and people get to say their stuff
because of what they look like way

48
00:03:37.240 --> 00:03:40.479
too often. Yeah, one hundred
percent. So what would you say in

49
00:03:40.639 --> 00:03:49.680
all these years is the best,
worst, wildest, craziest, whichever story

50
00:03:50.360 --> 00:03:57.199
that you could think of in your
musical journeys. We'll call it. That's

51
00:03:57.240 --> 00:04:00.120
tricky. Well, let's go for
when we were over in La staying at

52
00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:05.840
a friend's place. This was we
have citizen Fish in ninety wherever year it

53
00:04:06.039 --> 00:04:10.360
was a while back. It was
the year of the La riots. Oh

54
00:04:10.479 --> 00:04:13.439
okay, And we were there and
we were looking out this guy's window and

55
00:04:13.879 --> 00:04:16.519
way over there in the distance there's
just the sky was lit up with fire

56
00:04:16.600 --> 00:04:19.240
and stuff, and on the news
that the whole place was just going and

57
00:04:19.319 --> 00:04:23.680
where we're playing, we're playing like
across that and over the other side of

58
00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:26.800
that, and it's like, I
don't think we should do that. We

59
00:04:26.879 --> 00:04:30.079
find out and said we're not turning
up. There's a right going and I

60
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:32.639
said, work, you know there's
people here. It's like, you know,

61
00:04:32.720 --> 00:04:34.720
we've sold tickets. I said,
yeah, but look on the teley

62
00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:38.439
dot. Your whole area is going
up in flames, right, you know,

63
00:04:38.759 --> 00:04:43.879
van astands the chance being overturned and
smashed the bits or whatever. You

64
00:04:43.959 --> 00:04:47.199
know, we didn't get all the
way over here just to risk being beat

65
00:04:47.279 --> 00:04:53.000
up, killed, arrested. Whatever
set on fire just because we're playing next

66
00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:56.879
to a riot. It's one of
the really really rare situations where we had

67
00:04:56.920 --> 00:05:00.839
to cancel. We felt the danger
level was too high. That's a legitimate

68
00:05:00.920 --> 00:05:03.160
reason the council, I gotta say, because I went wind drive through those

69
00:05:03.240 --> 00:05:06.920
riots to get to the show.
No, as an intendee, I imaginely

70
00:05:06.959 --> 00:05:11.000
quite a few people didn't go to
the show that. Oh yeah, absolutely,

71
00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:16.560
So what was it that? Really? Do you remember that first moment

72
00:05:16.600 --> 00:05:21.439
in your life that you thought this
is who I want to be. No,

73
00:05:21.839 --> 00:05:26.000
these that's all revelations that cocurred there, right, that's fiction. You

74
00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:29.120
get it in books, in films. It's like, oh, no,

75
00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:30.439
I know what I want to be. No, you don't, you know?

76
00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:36.519
No, But that's what I think. When I first heard the adverts

77
00:05:36.920 --> 00:05:43.279
the UK band back in seventy seven
or seventy eight, Singing Board Teenagers on

78
00:05:43.399 --> 00:05:46.759
the Alan Freeman Show. It was
a Saturday afternoon show on Radio one BBC,

79
00:05:47.800 --> 00:05:51.279
and suddenly it was a very startpunk
rock where it was for me at

80
00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:55.399
least, and I thought, wow, here's a single that combines all the

81
00:05:55.680 --> 00:06:00.279
stuff, all the musical bits I
used to like from previous bands, all

82
00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:04.920
shoved into less than two minutes.
And they're not singing about strange, surreal,

83
00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:10.759
odd, fairy tale whatever lyrics.
You know, all the lyrics up

84
00:06:10.759 --> 00:06:13.680
to that point to me, meant
more or less nothing, just love songs,

85
00:06:13.839 --> 00:06:15.279
yeah, or weird. Say they're
sing about board teenagers here, I

86
00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:21.639
am bored teenager. That clicked.
That could be described as a moment where

87
00:06:21.920 --> 00:06:26.920
I felt I found something really in
so wanted to be like that and wanted

88
00:06:26.959 --> 00:06:29.199
to sing like that. I wanted
to do that, and I wanted to

89
00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:31.560
be in a band. And so
I'll nail it down to that moment,

90
00:06:31.600 --> 00:06:35.800
even though the process was a lot
more undefined than that. Yeah. Yeah,

91
00:06:35.879 --> 00:06:40.879
with reflection hindsight, we'll stick with
that moment, all right. And

92
00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:47.199
So, since you've been in this
punk areena since pretty much close to the

93
00:06:47.279 --> 00:06:53.560
beginning, what do you think of
punk today compared to punk when you started.

94
00:06:55.600 --> 00:06:59.600
Well, today, it's a lot
safer to be a punk rocket look

95
00:06:59.639 --> 00:07:01.720
like a punk rocker, to be
in the punk band. Punk bands getting

96
00:07:01.720 --> 00:07:04.560
the charts, they actually kind of
think of it. They used to get

97
00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:09.399
in the charts as well. But
the shotgun awe of punk rockers long ago

98
00:07:09.839 --> 00:07:15.720
worn off. A lot of punk
rockers melded in with pop music and it's

99
00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:20.399
got popular in themselves like one hundreds
of thousands of units. It's more generally

100
00:07:20.399 --> 00:07:24.800
speaking, it's more commercial and mainstream
now where else a good thing or bad

101
00:07:24.879 --> 00:07:28.879
thing. But there again asking a
full cycle because with the sex Pistols,

102
00:07:29.240 --> 00:07:32.879
the Clash and all those bands started, they all started on large record labels

103
00:07:32.920 --> 00:07:35.879
and they sold a whole bunch of
records as well, maybe not as many

104
00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:40.240
as para religional rounds of the Green
Day. I don't know, I've got

105
00:07:40.240 --> 00:07:43.879
the figures, but it was commercial
then, it's commercial now. In between

106
00:07:43.920 --> 00:07:47.079
then when the press started not to
notice punk anymore and declared it being dead,

107
00:07:47.519 --> 00:07:51.360
then it started to develop in some
more diy scene and smaller labels came

108
00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:56.319
up, smaller fans, in smaller
radio shows, smaller bands, and they

109
00:07:56.360 --> 00:08:00.720
didn't they didn't really aim at being
rock stars or the top of the pops

110
00:08:00.759 --> 00:08:01.959
and be famous and what sort of
thing. But they was in it for

111
00:08:03.079 --> 00:08:09.800
the love of playing and mutual feeling
you get between band and crowd and being

112
00:08:09.879 --> 00:08:16.040
teenagers, just to vent your internal
emotions out loud and have it amplified in

113
00:08:16.079 --> 00:08:18.639
front of people who like it.
It is a great feeling. Yeah,

114
00:08:18.759 --> 00:08:20.160
that is your basis of punk rock
right there. It's just the venting.

115
00:08:20.920 --> 00:08:24.680
And once the corporations have decided it
was a bit passing and weren't interested in

116
00:08:24.680 --> 00:08:28.920
it anymore, then it got more
true to life. I think, not

117
00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:31.519
to denigrate the first wave of punk
rock when it came along, it may

118
00:08:31.559 --> 00:08:35.159
had a massive effect on a low
load a lot of teenage people just we

119
00:08:35.320 --> 00:08:39.320
just didn't know where they were in
society. Felt alienated completely by all the

120
00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:41.080
rock and roll musically speaking, by
all that rock and roll stuff that come

121
00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:43.919
before it. It was out of
touch. It was you couldn't be in

122
00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:46.960
a band. You had to be
some sort of god to be in a

123
00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:52.120
band and play Wembley and whether bands
really did, and you know, you

124
00:08:52.159 --> 00:08:54.320
couldn't get any access to it.
That's what it felt. And punk rock

125
00:08:54.360 --> 00:08:58.360
came along, and it's basic.
One of its basic messages was anyone can

126
00:08:58.440 --> 00:09:01.600
do this Yeah, And a lot
of people just said, yep, I'll

127
00:09:01.679 --> 00:09:05.559
give it a shot. And there
loads of really fucking awful punk bands and

128
00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:07.759
they didn't care and it didn't matter. Some of got records out and some

129
00:09:07.919 --> 00:09:11.919
got a lot better, and some
gave up some carried on. I was

130
00:09:11.960 --> 00:09:16.200
in a my first band called the
Mental. We did ten shows, we

131
00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:20.960
did a one ep. We were
pretty awful. But when you're awful,

132
00:09:20.960 --> 00:09:26.240
when you're a band, if you're
recording or playing a gig, you were

133
00:09:26.320 --> 00:09:28.440
in a band. Yeah, you're
a punk band right there. You haven't

134
00:09:28.440 --> 00:09:33.440
had like years of musical teaching or
music industry specifics of what to do and

135
00:09:33.480 --> 00:09:35.360
when to do it, and how
to do it and who to manage to

136
00:09:35.399 --> 00:09:37.799
do it. None of that.
Hut, all that out out of window,

137
00:09:39.080 --> 00:09:41.320
back to basics. And that's that's
what punk rot is, and that's

138
00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:46.279
why it's still going now because teenagers
can now just say right and don't get

139
00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:48.559
me that guitar and could you want
to sing? Can you got a drum

140
00:09:48.679 --> 00:09:52.840
kit? Well? Can you borrow
one? Let's just whack out some emotional

141
00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:56.519
inconsistency in our heads and instead of
going out there and getting drunk and beating

142
00:09:56.559 --> 00:10:00.440
people up, we're going to play
some music instead get as well, but

143
00:10:00.519 --> 00:10:05.240
probably not beat people up. And
listen, you're speaking my language right now,

144
00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:09.120
because I'm a big believer. Like
people don't understand the pit. The

145
00:10:09.240 --> 00:10:13.159
pit isn't about hurting the maiming people
is about exactly what you're saying. It's

146
00:10:13.159 --> 00:10:18.159
a healthy way to get out all
your aggression and like we're all big family

147
00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:22.279
together. You're not really looking to
hurt anybody. You're just getting that shit

148
00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:26.320
out. You're venting and you and
I say all the time, it saved

149
00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:31.159
me from punching a lot of people
in the face, you know, And

150
00:10:31.279 --> 00:10:35.840
you get out and then you're not
out there doing other destructive things, because

151
00:10:35.559 --> 00:10:41.600
how much destruction with all the anger
as a teenager and things you're going through,

152
00:10:41.879 --> 00:10:46.480
would you cause if you didn't have
punk music. That's my view point

153
00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:50.840
of the pit, and the pit
is very much an American thing. It

154
00:10:50.919 --> 00:10:52.480
wasn't a UK thing. It's all
first stories, like what the hell was

155
00:10:52.519 --> 00:10:58.240
going on? What it does?
It's one of the very rare things that

156
00:10:58.360 --> 00:11:05.320
combines both aggression and intimate contacts.
Yeah, like you are with a whole

157
00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:07.399
bunch of bodies going around, there
is contacts. You're not on your own

158
00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:11.720
flaming at somebody else, You're with
something. You're flailing together and it sounds

159
00:11:11.759 --> 00:11:18.559
like an oxymoron or whatever, but
you're you're being aggressive in a communal way.

160
00:11:20.039 --> 00:11:26.919
Yeah, I'm not sure, Like
a family like siblings. You gotta

161
00:11:26.960 --> 00:11:28.080
watch it. If people who are
not interested in being in the pit are

162
00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:31.759
getting wax and hit by mistake or
deliberately, then that is wrong, right.

163
00:11:31.879 --> 00:11:35.320
You gotta keep it within the circle. Well, that's why I hate

164
00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:39.080
the people that don't understand the pit
and they just go in to try to

165
00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:41.360
like they think they're tough guys.
It's not about the tough guys, you

166
00:11:41.440 --> 00:11:46.240
know. And you should have this
like wall around the pit to protect and

167
00:11:46.519 --> 00:11:48.600
protect the people that don't want to
be If you want to be in it,

168
00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:50.279
great, you don't want to be
it, that's your choice, you

169
00:11:50.320 --> 00:11:54.480
know, And that's the way it's
cool. And it's so funny what you

170
00:11:54.679 --> 00:12:01.440
said about looking at us because me
as a teenager, I was a metal

171
00:12:01.480 --> 00:12:05.440
head that also happened to be a
punker in the eighties when you couldn't be

172
00:12:05.639 --> 00:12:13.200
both and uh, basically, which
I hated that was stupid, But you

173
00:12:13.279 --> 00:12:16.240
know, I always was like,
it was my dream to go to the

174
00:12:16.399 --> 00:12:20.840
UK because that's where the real punk
scene was. And then our image over

175
00:12:20.960 --> 00:12:26.639
here is that you guys were more
crazy than us when it came to stuff

176
00:12:26.799 --> 00:12:31.000
like that, you know. So
it's kind of funny that that wasn't even

177
00:12:31.080 --> 00:12:33.440
true. It was just our own
image. Maybe we were trying to make

178
00:12:33.440 --> 00:12:37.279
ourselves feel better that we were looking
like a bunch of crazies. But the

179
00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:41.360
same situation was occurring on both sides
of the planet. The planet is like,

180
00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:45.000
we were all looking for other people
doing something in the name of punk

181
00:12:45.039 --> 00:12:48.840
lot that we could ever join in
with, or associate with, or compare

182
00:12:48.879 --> 00:12:52.080
ourselves to. Yeah, but it
was a massive endo with punk bands all

183
00:12:52.159 --> 00:12:56.799
over the globe, Australia, India, everywhere it was happening. That's what's

184
00:12:56.840 --> 00:12:58.519
so good about it. It was
once you dug into it, it wanted

185
00:12:58.519 --> 00:13:01.240
to be on the media image of
what was going on. Yeah, and

186
00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:07.200
all this diy punk consciousness was occurring
right across the planet. And I think

187
00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:11.960
anybody that meets punks or goes to
someplace like punk rock Bawling where we're at

188
00:13:13.039 --> 00:13:16.639
now what they find as the punks
are like some of the most caring people

189
00:13:16.679 --> 00:13:20.440
on the planet, not just about
their music, but about the planet,

190
00:13:20.639 --> 00:13:26.840
about people, about all kinds of
issues that are important for human beings and

191
00:13:28.039 --> 00:13:28.919
all of us. Yeah, I
mean, correct me if I'm wrong.

192
00:13:28.960 --> 00:13:33.440
I might be wrong these days because
politics has entered all sorts of musical genres.

193
00:13:33.679 --> 00:13:37.360
Yeah, because politicians have got seriously
out of hand. Ever since the

194
00:13:37.440 --> 00:13:41.919
Internet came in, We've all become
realizing how bad things are, and politicians

195
00:13:41.000 --> 00:13:45.879
are going way more right wing across
the planet and things are getting seriously dangerous

196
00:13:45.879 --> 00:13:50.639
for the whole of humanity. So
a lot more people in various diverse genres

197
00:13:50.639 --> 00:13:54.399
of music are getting more political when
their lyrics and outlook and the benefitings they

198
00:13:54.519 --> 00:13:58.000
doing that sort of thing. But
up to that point, a few years

199
00:13:58.000 --> 00:14:01.399
ago and backwards in time, punk
rot to me at least was the one

200
00:14:01.480 --> 00:14:05.440
scene where there was way more politics
than any other scene, where like there

201
00:14:05.559 --> 00:14:11.480
was information leaflets and pamphlets and fanzines
at shows that you could pick up pay

202
00:14:11.559 --> 00:14:15.480
for or get for free. We'll
just tell you some facts about animal rights,

203
00:14:16.080 --> 00:14:20.159
human rights, the local scene,
the national scene, the global scene

204
00:14:20.200 --> 00:14:22.120
in terms of what was going on
that wasn't getting reported in the papers,

205
00:14:22.159 --> 00:14:26.679
and it was just an information is
communication, and that what leads to people

206
00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:31.960
changing their minds about things like eating
meat, that sort of thing. Without

207
00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:35.559
the facts, people just think they're
right doing what they were doing because their

208
00:14:35.720 --> 00:14:37.360
parents did it, all their mates
do it and under pressure and all that.

209
00:14:39.240 --> 00:14:43.080
But anyone who ever felt a bit
outside of society because they didn't feel

210
00:14:43.080 --> 00:14:46.519
they fitted in, you go,
you won't go on to a punk show

211
00:14:46.559 --> 00:14:50.240
and grab a bit of info and
buy a fanzine or just pick up what's

212
00:14:50.360 --> 00:14:54.120
going out there for free. You
can certly realize that you're not the only

213
00:14:54.159 --> 00:14:58.360
one anymore. That's the unifying thing
about information. It's like people don't feel

214
00:14:58.360 --> 00:15:05.600
so isolated in their non us their
unusual ways of thinking compared to what they're

215
00:15:05.639 --> 00:15:09.000
supposed to be thinking according to TV
shows, in the media and that sort

216
00:15:09.039 --> 00:15:13.480
of thing. Yeah. Absolutely,
and it's so true because one thing I

217
00:15:13.879 --> 00:15:18.559
love about these interviews is listeners get
to find out what punks are really all

218
00:15:18.600 --> 00:15:24.600
about instead of what their images of
them. And to me, punks are

219
00:15:24.679 --> 00:15:30.759
some of the most intellectual people that
can give you the intellectual facts and information.

220
00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:35.279
And actually, you know, they're
using a certain type of music to

221
00:15:35.559 --> 00:15:41.120
spread knowledge that is, you know, true knowledge that can help everybody.

222
00:15:43.320 --> 00:15:46.200
Yeah, I think you might be
giving a bit too much credit maybe if

223
00:15:46.200 --> 00:15:52.440
you knowledge with opinions and outlooks,
because not everything we think is going to

224
00:15:52.480 --> 00:15:56.759
be dead, right, Yeah,
that's true knowledge. Is actual factual stuff,

225
00:15:56.799 --> 00:15:58.279
and there's a lot of facts that
way more facts out there than there

226
00:15:58.360 --> 00:16:03.759
is opinions. I may not be
true anymore. Ready, opinions seemed to

227
00:16:03.759 --> 00:16:07.120
have taken over. People think nowadays
that their opinions are all facts. I

228
00:16:07.240 --> 00:16:11.279
had somebody ask somebody recently. They
post something on Facebook and I asked them,

229
00:16:11.320 --> 00:16:15.080
I'm like, you know, is
that peer reviewed? And they're like,

230
00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:21.080
yeah, all my friends agree with
me, you know, So there

231
00:16:21.120 --> 00:16:23.840
you go. Well, man,
it's phenomenal that you're here once again at

232
00:16:25.159 --> 00:16:30.159
Punk Rock Bowling. I'm really looking
totally forward to your set here at the

233
00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:34.879
festival grounds and at the club show. I'm sure you're going to kill it.

234
00:16:34.919 --> 00:16:38.399
And one thing to go back to
something you said is Punk Rock Bowling

235
00:16:38.559 --> 00:16:42.399
is a festival that shows that punk
is not dead, and we're much bigger

236
00:16:42.519 --> 00:16:47.799
family than we ever were, and
it's more inclusive than we ever were.

237
00:16:47.919 --> 00:16:51.840
And like what I'm leading to what
I said earlier about metal heads and punks

238
00:16:51.879 --> 00:16:56.000
can be at the same show,
well, everybody can be at the same

239
00:16:56.080 --> 00:16:57.639
show now and it's at Punk Rock
Bowling. Yeah, that's one of the

240
00:16:57.679 --> 00:17:02.679
learning things about punk roll is that
you don't have to define yourselves too narrowly.

241
00:17:02.919 --> 00:17:03.680
Yeah, if you do that,
you're missing out on a whole bunch

242
00:17:03.720 --> 00:17:07.400
of ideas from other people who are
interested in the same things as punks are.

243
00:17:07.559 --> 00:17:11.039
They just don't look the same,
And then musical tastes veers out towards

244
00:17:11.119 --> 00:17:15.160
other stuff that some punks hate and
some punks don't. We got to be

245
00:17:15.240 --> 00:17:18.079
more relaxed about what we like and
what we don't like, and not argue

246
00:17:18.119 --> 00:17:21.240
all the time over what we look
like and my musical tastes and whether this

247
00:17:21.359 --> 00:17:22.599
band is better than that band,
or where we got the whole world out

248
00:17:22.599 --> 00:17:27.240
there full of problematic stuff that affects
us way more deeply than just tasting music

249
00:17:27.319 --> 00:17:30.839
or tasting haircuts. Like I love. You get older, you start taking

250
00:17:30.920 --> 00:17:34.799
this stuff more seriously, and start
taking punk rock a bit less seriously.

251
00:17:34.880 --> 00:17:37.440
It's not the only thing there is. We're all punk rockers, but we're

252
00:17:37.480 --> 00:17:42.839
good people. But punk rock is
your mainstay, main course on the musical

253
00:17:44.519 --> 00:17:47.400
menu of life. From there you
go, I love it. Let's tell

254
00:17:47.440 --> 00:17:49.680
everybody how they can connect on socials, on the web, get all your

255
00:17:49.839 --> 00:17:55.240
merch, tourd aids, everything.
Yeah, I main outlet for that is

256
00:17:55.839 --> 00:17:59.799
our band. Camp site. Okay, so Subhumans, I think Subhuman's UK

257
00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:03.440
dot band camp dot com. That's
what all our merchant is being sold.

258
00:18:03.480 --> 00:18:07.799
That's where our music is for downloading. We're also on Instagram, We're also

259
00:18:07.880 --> 00:18:11.920
on Facebook. But those things just
they set the life blood out your brain.

260
00:18:14.839 --> 00:18:17.759
I want to go back to the
tape trading, the tapes, writing

261
00:18:17.880 --> 00:18:21.839
letters, doodles in letters, character
in writing. You write this bit,

262
00:18:22.119 --> 00:18:25.279
big, bigger than that bit,
and decorate the envelopes and all sorts of

263
00:18:25.839 --> 00:18:29.480
beautiful individual stuff, and you just
can't do it with typeface. That's true,

264
00:18:29.599 --> 00:18:34.680
and that screen time. So instead
we're going to spend some time at

265
00:18:34.720 --> 00:18:38.839
the sub Human show right here.
