You're with You're here with Joe from VAUER and Ribia

00:00:28.559 --> 00:00:29.879
from vawor nice.

7
00:00:30.239 --> 00:00:31.640
You're at Download?

8
00:00:31.800 --> 00:00:32.200
Yes, sir?

9
00:00:33.200 --> 00:00:34.679
Have you played download before?

10
00:00:35.119 --> 00:00:35.960
We do? You know what?

11
00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:38.920
We both have but in different different things. The first

12
00:00:38.920 --> 00:00:40.280
time we've done it as vour.

13
00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:42.880
It was better this time, right, because you work together, right,

14
00:00:44.320 --> 00:00:45.039
it's a good time.

15
00:00:46.320 --> 00:00:47.920
What do you love about Download?

16
00:00:48.920 --> 00:00:52.159
I think I love the fact that everybody here is

17
00:00:52.880 --> 00:00:57.079
there's a collective interest towards rock and metal and bands,

18
00:00:57.200 --> 00:00:59.840
and I don't know, it just feels like a really

19
00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:04.920
collectively enjoyable vibe. Everyone's kind of here just to unwind

20
00:01:04.959 --> 00:01:06.280
and have a bit of fun and listen to some

21
00:01:06.319 --> 00:01:07.200
great live music.

22
00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:10.319
So like a big community family.

23
00:01:10.040 --> 00:01:11.560
Basically yeah, live music.

24
00:01:12.319 --> 00:01:12.560
Yeah.

25
00:01:13.719 --> 00:01:16.840
And speaking of a community, I was annoying seeing you

26
00:01:16.920 --> 00:01:21.280
have like a kind of community on your Instagram. Tell

27
00:01:21.359 --> 00:01:23.239
us about that, because that's kind of cool. I know.

28
00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:26.239
It's like I've I've.

29
00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:30.200
Been doing like fucking thirty interviews, so it's like scum,

30
00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:31.159
but it.

31
00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:33.439
Was like the vower of our power.

32
00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:37.200
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yeah, yeah, I mean it's you know,

33
00:01:37.239 --> 00:01:40.239
it's like a I didn't really know what that how

34
00:01:40.280 --> 00:01:42.799
to use those channels on Instagram, but it's like a

35
00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:45.599
broadcast channel, right yeah, And it's just like it's another

36
00:01:45.760 --> 00:01:47.680
really nice way for us just to be able to

37
00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:49.920
connect with people. And we use it for things like

38
00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:52.319
like asking people what songs they want us to play live,

39
00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:54.400
what they might think of maybe like a certain type

40
00:01:54.400 --> 00:01:56.439
of artwork or merchandise that we're going to pay out.

41
00:01:56.439 --> 00:01:59.519
It's just like a more direct way to connect with

42
00:01:59.560 --> 00:02:02.079
people when you're not actually faced faced with it.

43
00:02:02.239 --> 00:02:02.799
I love that.

44
00:02:02.879 --> 00:02:03.599
Yeah, it's fun.

45
00:02:03.439 --> 00:02:06.239
Because it gives people a voice and then they're more

46
00:02:06.239 --> 00:02:08.240
into you. One of things are part of it.

47
00:02:08.360 --> 00:02:13.639
Yeah, what's the best request or advice you got from

48
00:02:13.840 --> 00:02:20.039
somebody in that broadcast channel? The best sorry, the best

49
00:02:20.360 --> 00:02:25.439
advice or you know, suggestion or request that you've gotten

50
00:02:25.479 --> 00:02:27.879
from people in that that you like the best.

51
00:02:30.240 --> 00:02:33.599
Do you know it's still relatively new the channel, so actually,

52
00:02:33.639 --> 00:02:35.159
like I think we did a shout out in there

53
00:02:35.159 --> 00:02:38.840
recently for like where and it's quite a classic question,

54
00:02:39.039 --> 00:02:40.960
but like where would where would you like us to play?

55
00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:43.520
And it just gives us a much better idea of

56
00:02:43.879 --> 00:02:47.280
where people are based and where people are excited on

57
00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:49.879
hearing us play, so and we and we actually do

58
00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:52.840
take that into account when we're booking shows or having

59
00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:53.479
shows booked.

60
00:02:53.680 --> 00:03:01.000
Where's been your most memorable place to play? Probably with us.

61
00:03:01.039 --> 00:03:04.039
We're only a year old as a band, so we've

62
00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:07.199
only we've done less than twenty shows really, yeah, which

63
00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:10.599
is kind of crazy. So it's funny because this would

64
00:03:10.639 --> 00:03:12.879
be one of the more memorable ones because it's Download

65
00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:15.120
Festival and everyone remembers playing Download if they.

66
00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:18.080
Get to it. A loaded question, and I would say.

67
00:03:17.879 --> 00:03:21.680
I would say our first gig was supporting one of

68
00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:24.120
our favorite bands of all time, which is Carnival, So

69
00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:28.800
nice getting to do that as our first outing was insane,

70
00:03:28.919 --> 00:03:30.439
so I think we'll always remember that.

71
00:03:31.439 --> 00:03:34.000
And you just had a new song drop recently right

72
00:03:34.039 --> 00:03:37.199
in May. Tell us about that song or the Lizards

73
00:03:37.199 --> 00:03:38.520
about songs that they deadweight?

74
00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:42.199
Yeah, in a nutshell we wrote Me and Joe wrote

75
00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:45.360
it together in my studio and we were so hyped

76
00:03:45.400 --> 00:03:47.159
on it. We sent the demo to the guys and

77
00:03:47.199 --> 00:03:49.840
then they were immediately like, let's record this now. And

78
00:03:49.919 --> 00:03:51.960
I have my own studio, so we recorded it there,

79
00:03:52.439 --> 00:03:55.919
mixed it down, shot a video. Within six weeks of

80
00:03:55.960 --> 00:03:58.879
writing it, we'd released it nice. We were just that

81
00:03:58.960 --> 00:03:59.759
excited about it.

82
00:03:59.800 --> 00:04:03.080
So well, I can tell you that, like my only

83
00:04:03.319 --> 00:04:07.840
preparation for interviews is to listen to the band's music

84
00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:10.159
or go to their set or both.

85
00:04:11.080 --> 00:04:15.039
And that song is fucking badass.

86
00:04:14.520 --> 00:04:18.759
Dude, thanks so much hearing that, like and now here

87
00:04:18.759 --> 00:04:21.199
six weeks. That's like old school, like back in the day,

88
00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:23.480
where you just wrote a song real quick and it

89
00:04:23.480 --> 00:04:26.240
turned out to be the fucking best song. Ever, how

90
00:04:26.279 --> 00:04:29.000
do you guys come together? You were both a different bands?

91
00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:29.879
How'd this happen?

92
00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:32.839
So we're like we both live and we all live

93
00:04:32.879 --> 00:04:35.480
in the same city, both fans of each other's bands,

94
00:04:35.720 --> 00:04:37.920
and have been like we took like both of our

95
00:04:37.920 --> 00:04:41.199
bands toured together in the past into the same style

96
00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:43.240
as music. I think it's like kind of naturally, like

97
00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:45.959
we we hang out anyway, and it was, yeah, like

98
00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:50.120
both of the old bands ended at at a very similar.

99
00:04:49.800 --> 00:04:50.439
Time as well.

100
00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:51.120
That's wild.

101
00:04:51.519 --> 00:04:52.319
Yeah, man, it's just.

102
00:04:52.240 --> 00:04:54.720
One of like divine intervention, one of those things.

103
00:04:54.800 --> 00:04:57.839
Yeah, and couldn't be happy with how how things ended up.

104
00:04:57.839 --> 00:04:59.920
And it's a funny thing though, because I think like

105
00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:04.920
in the moments of old things ending, like in your

106
00:05:04.920 --> 00:05:06.600
mind that at those times you think, oh, this is

107
00:05:06.680 --> 00:05:08.639
the worst thing that could possibly happen. But now with

108
00:05:08.759 --> 00:05:11.519
that that hindsight and where we are at now and

109
00:05:11.560 --> 00:05:15.199
what we're doing, like today's Satia talking to you playing download.

110
00:05:14.759 --> 00:05:17.519
It's like, dude, it's wild right, so.

111
00:05:17.519 --> 00:05:19.360
Bad everything has panned out of the way it has.

112
00:05:19.519 --> 00:05:19.879
See.

113
00:05:19.959 --> 00:05:22.720
I'm also a motivational speaker, so I believe in all

114
00:05:22.759 --> 00:05:27.120
that shit, Like everything happens for a reason, and sometimes

115
00:05:27.160 --> 00:05:30.720
you can't explain it, but just one day there's a

116
00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:35.199
connection that just changes the trajectory of your life forever

117
00:05:36.040 --> 00:05:39.160
in a good way for sure. So like we wouldn't

118
00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:41.399
have you guys, so thank God for that, you know,

119
00:05:41.519 --> 00:05:45.680
And because if those bands didn't end, and or even

120
00:05:45.720 --> 00:05:48.519
at the same time exactly, we wouldn't be here right now.

121
00:05:48.959 --> 00:05:52.959
Timings everything in life. So I look at it like, wow,

122
00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:57.360
that's something bigger than us that made that happen. So

123
00:05:58.240 --> 00:05:59.800
now how do you top down?

124
00:06:02.120 --> 00:06:02.399
Do you know?

125
00:06:02.519 --> 00:06:03.480
That's pretty hard? Right?

126
00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:06.000
Well, you know, we'll just keep writing music and keep

127
00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:08.399
doing our thing like that. That's what we've done to

128
00:06:08.439 --> 00:06:11.079
get to this point so far, so naturally, I think

129
00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:13.360
that's what we'll continue to see where that lands.

130
00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:14.240
So nice.

131
00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:17.759
I agree with Joe, it's just keep going and if

132
00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:20.800
new opportunities and new exciting things come to us to

133
00:06:20.920 --> 00:06:24.199
us through being excited about what we're doing and working

134
00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:27.160
hard at it, then that's all we can really hope for.

135
00:06:28.040 --> 00:06:31.839
I love that attitude that means you're true musicians, because

136
00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:35.199
it's like there's two types of musicians. There's more than that,

137
00:06:35.279 --> 00:06:37.600
but two that I think of. There's the ones that

138
00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:42.360
are musicians for the love of the music and creating,

139
00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:45.519
and then there's the ones that want to be rock stars.

140
00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:49.399
The rock stars don't last the guys like you do,

141
00:06:49.800 --> 00:06:53.279
thanks man, and I think you will because if any

142
00:06:53.319 --> 00:06:57.079
of your other songs coming out after this or anywhere

143
00:06:57.199 --> 00:07:02.759
near the last one, oh my god, you'll be headlining download.

144
00:07:04.680 --> 00:07:05.079
I don't know.

145
00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:06.079
Well, thank you.

146
00:07:06.160 --> 00:07:07.240
Yeah.

147
00:07:07.399 --> 00:07:09.720
Did it blow your mind the kind of crowd you

148
00:07:09.920 --> 00:07:13.680
had today, last day of a festival, during the day,

149
00:07:14.399 --> 00:07:18.360
especially after Saturday night, of everybody probably partying all night long.

150
00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:21.319
Yeah, honestly, you just never know, Like I don't.

151
00:07:21.600 --> 00:07:23.480
I didn't even look at who we were clashing with

152
00:07:23.720 --> 00:07:25.480
or like what really what the weather was doing so

153
00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:27.279
often has an effect on whether people are going to

154
00:07:27.319 --> 00:07:31.079
come in the tent or not, but set expectations fairly low,

155
00:07:31.240 --> 00:07:32.480
and then you're always, you.

156
00:07:32.439 --> 00:07:36.759
Know, right and that tent man, you think people aren't

157
00:07:36.759 --> 00:07:38.160
going to show up, and then all of a sudden

158
00:07:38.199 --> 00:07:39.399
you came and get into tent.

159
00:07:39.959 --> 00:07:41.319
It fills up so quick.

160
00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:43.639
It was busy in there, and it's always just such

161
00:07:43.680 --> 00:07:46.319
a trip seeing people singing the words like it always

162

Oh my god, it's blowing my mind. How they know

166
00:07:55.439 --> 00:07:56.399

It my pleasure. And so.

173
00:08:19.879 --> 00:08:23.079
What was that one thing that you could think of

174
00:08:23.759 --> 00:08:26.920
that where you woke up and you're like, this is

175
00:08:27.079 --> 00:08:29.040
all I can do is music?

176
00:08:31.319 --> 00:08:31.519
Ah?

177
00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:32.440
Man, it's do you know what?

178
00:08:32.480 --> 00:08:34.679
It's been that way for quite a long time, and like,

179
00:08:34.840 --> 00:08:36.879
I don't think I'd do it unless it was one

180
00:08:36.919 --> 00:08:38.720
of the first things I thought about when I woke up,

181
00:08:38.720 --> 00:08:42.080
Because your hat has gotta be in it Otherwise.

182
00:08:41.879 --> 00:08:42.279
Like the.

183
00:08:44.080 --> 00:08:46.960
I don't get bands that just dial it in, because

184
00:08:47.200 --> 00:08:50.200
if you're gonna be in this business, you better love

185
00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:54.320
it because everything else sucks, Like unless you love being

186
00:08:54.360 --> 00:08:55.080
a musician.

187
00:08:56.559 --> 00:08:57.240
Hy be one.

188
00:08:57.399 --> 00:09:00.320
Also like you know, don't don't get me, you're wrong.

189
00:09:00.360 --> 00:09:03.679
Then none of us are making a ton of money

190
00:09:03.759 --> 00:09:04.120
doing this.

191
00:09:04.240 --> 00:09:05.039
That's what I'm saying.

192
00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:06.679
Yeah, like, like you gotta love it.

193
00:09:06.720 --> 00:09:09.399
You're not doing it because you're gonna be a There

194
00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:12.919
are no rock stars nowadays, and there's no money being

195
00:09:13.039 --> 00:09:15.399
thrown at you. You do it for the love of

196
00:09:15.440 --> 00:09:18.759
the creativity and because it's inside of you. So why

197
00:09:18.879 --> 00:09:21.799
if it's not inside of you be in this industry.

198
00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:25.200
I always say that what would be your answer to

199
00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:28.240
what was that one moment in life that you knew

200
00:09:28.559 --> 00:09:29.919
music was what you needed to do?

201
00:09:30.039 --> 00:09:33.679
I remember, I mean similar to Joe, but like I

202
00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:38.399
remember getting my exam results from school and I remember

203
00:09:38.519 --> 00:09:40.720
going and picking them up in the hall where all

204
00:09:40.759 --> 00:09:42.559
the teachers that have taught you all you threw your

205
00:09:42.600 --> 00:09:44.759
school and it's like the last thing you do and

206
00:09:44.799 --> 00:09:46.960
then you leave school. Oh you stay on and do college.

207
00:09:47.000 --> 00:09:49.720
Well I didn't. I left, and I remember picking up

208
00:09:49.759 --> 00:09:52.279
my results and the guy, one of the guys who

209
00:09:52.360 --> 00:09:54.480
thought I was a joke, like I only tried in

210
00:09:54.519 --> 00:09:58.320
the subjects. I enjoyed music. Whatever, it's math English, I

211
00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:01.559
didn't care. I remember picking up our results and he goes,

212
00:10:01.600 --> 00:10:03.320
what are you gonna do now? And I said, I'm

213
00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:05.600
gonna go and do music, and he laughed, and I

214
00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:08.080
remember just thinking, oh, fucking show you man.
