hip Mandor. This is the pipe
Man here on the Adventures pipe Man W

four C Y Radio. And I'm
here with the Koby. I am Hamish.

6
00:01:12.959 --> 00:01:18.799
We are on the Pipe Man Radio. I love I love it.

7
00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:23.680
I love your shirt too. That
as cool as hell. Secondhand found it.

8
00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:26.519
See there you go. Sometimes the
best ship is secondhand, right hell

9
00:01:26.599 --> 00:01:34.439
yeah? Hell yeah? Just murdered
a man for this? So here who's

10
00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:38.719
slaved you? Or he did?
He killed a man to shot. I

11
00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:42.719
would do the same. It is
that good? Is a good shirt for

12
00:01:42.760 --> 00:01:45.359
today? I am dying in there. No, that's what I was gonna

13
00:01:45.359 --> 00:01:49.400
get to next. Now do you
perform in that shirt? Because yes,

14
00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:53.640
that's death. Yeah, I know, Like are you not? It's like

15
00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:59.359
it's like a self conscious thing.
Don't want to see my body? Yeah

16
00:01:59.480 --> 00:02:04.599
yeah. And so that's interesting because
we are in mental health Awareness month and

17
00:02:04.959 --> 00:02:10.360
so that shows something right there,
like people have to sometimes what that is

18
00:02:10.400 --> 00:02:16.080
a very honest point. Yeah,
exactly because now you said that, that

19
00:02:16.159 --> 00:02:19.719
makes all sense in the world to
me. Now that some people it might

20
00:02:19.759 --> 00:02:22.759
not make sense. They'd be like, well, lma'mat But you know what,

21
00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:25.199
you have to respect how people feel. They have to live in their

22
00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:30.840
own fields, okay, and whatever
makes you comfortable is what you should do.

23
00:02:32.599 --> 00:02:37.719
So but it is hot, it
is no, you're raised. That

24
00:02:37.759 --> 00:02:39.240
just opened up a whole conversation.
Like I put on a different T shirt

25
00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:43.280
today and I was like, I
look terrible in this, Like I know,

26
00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:45.400
we both go for that, do
you know what I mean? It's

27
00:02:45.400 --> 00:02:50.000
massively Well it's funny too, because
like even if you see pictures of yourself

28
00:02:50.199 --> 00:02:54.080
like I was, I don't know
how I was positioned whoever was taking pictures

29
00:02:54.280 --> 00:02:59.599
at something I was doing last week. I was like, fuck, I

30
00:02:59.639 --> 00:03:01.639
look like I'm like two hundred pounds. When the hell is that? Because

31
00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:07.039
I know I'm not, but it
looked that way. So and sometimes we

32
00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:10.360
look in the mirror and we see
things or that nobody else sees, you

33
00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:15.240
know. So I think that I
think it's important to bring out the awareness

34
00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:20.479
to people. Dysmorphia is I think
so much more common than people get it

35
00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:23.840
credit for. Yeah, absolutely,
Nearly every person in their life's probably suffered

36
00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:29.520
from it. If you haven't,
then fucking well done, right right?

37
00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:34.439
Like, who who hasn't? I
want to give them a trophy if they

38
00:03:34.479 --> 00:03:38.319
haven't, because I mean, it's
true, and it doesn't matter who you

39
00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:42.599
are. That's why I'm saying why
I am like people think it's just the

40
00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:46.919
people that maybe don't look good.
No, it's usually the opposites, you

41
00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:52.199
know, it's usually the people that
you would think don't have body dys morphia.

42
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:55.080
That definitely one hundred percent to There's
plenty of people that don't work out

43
00:03:55.080 --> 00:03:58.599
at all and they're perfectly comfortable in
their bodies, do you know what I

44
00:03:58.680 --> 00:04:01.120
mean? Well, maybe most of
them. But when we got here today,

45
00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:03.800
our drummer Martin took his shirt off
and he was like, I want

46
00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:06.840
to walk ab out of this,
but neither of us are quite confident enough

47
00:04:06.840 --> 00:04:10.159
to do it right. So it's
nice to have like a target of like,

48
00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:12.919
okay, well next year, next
year, I want to feel that

49
00:04:12.919 --> 00:04:15.759
good. I'm kind of the same
way, like I'm a surfer and I

50
00:04:15.800 --> 00:04:19.040
always wear my rash guard, Like
you'll never see me out there with my

51
00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:24.319
shirt off. I'll always have a
rash guard pool ocean, doesn't matter what

52
00:04:24.399 --> 00:04:28.839
it is. And that's just me. That's just in my head, you

53
00:04:28.839 --> 00:04:32.480
know, type of thing. You
know, So tell our listeners a little

54
00:04:32.480 --> 00:04:35.279
bit about your music and what you're
all about, because you guys are badass.

55
00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:40.920
Oh thanks, Did you see the
set? I wish because I always

56
00:04:40.920 --> 00:04:47.120
want to see the set of Yeah, but I was working. Yeah,

57
00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:51.040
yeah, I actually had to work. It is a bummer because it's like

58
00:04:51.079 --> 00:04:55.600
there's so many sets today that I'm
like, and I always want to see

59
00:04:55.600 --> 00:04:58.160
the sets of the bands I'm interviewing, and then they're like, can you

60
00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:03.639
interview this person? Okay, exactly, So tell us about the set.

61
00:05:03.720 --> 00:05:06.800
Tell me because I missed a good
set. Well, this was our first

62
00:05:06.839 --> 00:05:13.199
ever American festival. Nice, so
we won't forget this today. Seeing people

63
00:05:13.240 --> 00:05:17.040
singing our music, wearing our merch. I felt like we played well.

64
00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:21.079
We all felt good. I actually
had a really good time. I love

65
00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:25.040
it. How would she use write
it's super weird, seeing like your T

66
00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:29.120
shirt at the front right, coming
from Scotland to Florida's very odd. I

67
00:05:29.160 --> 00:05:32.000
would imagine that would be a trip, right, Like you think nobody over

68
00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:35.759
here knows who you are and then
it's like they're singing your words, wearing

69
00:05:35.800 --> 00:05:42.480
your merch it is. How would
you compare, you know, the Danny

70
00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:46.839
Wimmer festivals here in the United States
compared to European UK festivals, because as

71
00:05:46.879 --> 00:05:48.639
we know, those are all the
grand days. But I've found that Danny

72
00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:54.720
Wimmer like took the template from those
because in the States a lot of the

73
00:05:54.800 --> 00:05:59.839
other festivals are more like fairs,
you know that, not like a real

74
00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:04.040
true festival, you know. Yeah, And I feel like Welcome to Rockville

75
00:06:04.839 --> 00:06:09.879
has respect, you know, from
people overseas well. One thing I will

76
00:06:09.879 --> 00:06:14.920
see is they treat the artists so
well nice, Like honestly, the UK

77
00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:19.199
treat artist shit. Really Yes,
it's a Madison, you know what's weird

78
00:06:19.240 --> 00:06:25.000
about that? Okay, So I
do coverage for Download and Bloodstock, and

79
00:06:25.240 --> 00:06:29.720
I keep saying how great they treat
press, because a lot of festivals,

80
00:06:29.759 --> 00:06:33.560
not the Danny Wimmer ones, they
treat press like we're like they're doing us

81
00:06:33.600 --> 00:06:38.160
a favor, Like I'm working,
you're doing me a favor, you know.

82
00:06:39.079 --> 00:06:43.040
And over there they're like, we
realize we don't have a festival without

83
00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:45.759
you. I'm like, wow,
that's pretty refreshing. So It's weird that

84
00:06:45.800 --> 00:06:49.360
it's like the opposite because I have
never met and I've been doing Danny Wimmer

85
00:06:49.439 --> 00:06:55.839
festivals for so many years. I've
never met artists say anything negative about how

86
00:06:55.879 --> 00:06:59.879
they were treated at Danny Wimmer festal
we can see that already as soon as

87
00:06:59.879 --> 00:07:01.759
we got here, like even arriving
on the track and stuff was like,

88
00:07:02.079 --> 00:07:08.560
what the hell? The attention to
detail in terms of the crew and the

89
00:07:08.639 --> 00:07:13.519
staff and the catering, dressing room. That's the way artists should be treated.

90
00:07:13.800 --> 00:07:17.519
Like soles are very stressful, and
artists sometimes have never been to that

91
00:07:17.600 --> 00:07:20.839
part of the country, so you're
already very anxious. So if you turn

92
00:07:20.920 --> 00:07:24.360
up to a festival and they treat
you like shit and they only give you

93
00:07:24.399 --> 00:07:28.639
a dressing room for thirty minutes,
or you don't even have one, the

94
00:07:28.839 --> 00:07:30.600
crew aren't very nice, like I
don't know, it just it really does

95
00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:34.360
make a difference. Yeah, I
mean, because it's already stressful to do

96
00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:38.399
a show anyway, no matter who
you are, how many times you've done

97
00:07:38.399 --> 00:07:42.639
it. You want to be as
stress free as possible, yes, you

98
00:07:42.680 --> 00:07:45.759
know. So you want to be
able to come in, load in,

99
00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:51.000
relax and not have ten million things
go wrong for sure. Yeah, and

100
00:07:51.240 --> 00:07:56.680
today went pretty smoothly, very smoothly. As I said, like as soon

101
00:07:56.680 --> 00:07:59.639
as we got there, everyone knew
exactly what they were doing and they were

102
00:08:00.800 --> 00:08:03.480
wanting to meet your life as easy
as possible. Nice. And how did

103
00:08:03.519 --> 00:08:07.560
this come about? How did they
had Danny Wimmer come to find you over

104
00:08:07.600 --> 00:08:13.240
there and bring you over here?
Good question. We so we signed to

105
00:08:13.279 --> 00:08:18.399
an American book and agent last year, last year, and then this was

106
00:08:18.439 --> 00:08:24.040
the first offer we got. Wow, this and next weekend, Yeah,

107
00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:30.040
exact exactly. I'll be a fun
one for you too. So it's gonna

108
00:08:30.079 --> 00:08:33.559
be it's a big stadium. Okay, so you'll be playing a stadium show.

109
00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:39.159
Really, yeah, we're going to
expect to be well, you're gonna

110
00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:43.679
be treated exactly the same, like
say that. I mean, this is

111
00:08:43.720 --> 00:08:46.159
our first one. This is our
first festival ever in America. So what

112
00:08:46.159 --> 00:08:52.399
what an introduction? It's a very
high bar. Wow America. Wow,

113
00:08:52.519 --> 00:08:56.080
look at that. You see you're
gonna be spoiled. Now you're gonna go

114
00:08:56.159 --> 00:09:00.639
to other festivals they are not Danny
Wimmer and be like what We're back to

115
00:09:00.720 --> 00:09:05.840
downloads, So let's see what are
you playing download this year? As soon

116
00:09:05.879 --> 00:09:07.519
as we get back. We have
four days in our download festival when we

117
00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:11.039
get back. Yeah, I'm supposed
to be a download so I'll get maybe

118
00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:16.840
I'll get your set there that'll be
in the hometown. In the hometown.

119
00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:22.759
I love it. Please do So
how do people connect to you guys on

120
00:09:22.799 --> 00:09:26.159
socials on the web? Check out
your merge, your music, all that

121
00:09:26.200 --> 00:09:31.159
good stuff. Just the Cobe band
pretty much everything. Even if you just

122
00:09:31.159 --> 00:09:33.399
put thecovie, it should come up
with fingers cross it comes up first.

123
00:09:33.679 --> 00:09:37.320
But yeah, I helped mccovie band
and everything man legedly. And is there

124
00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:41.039
anything you want the listens to know
that you got going on now coming out

125
00:09:41.480 --> 00:09:46.200
that we haven't covered already. We're
working very hard on album four right now

126
00:09:46.360 --> 00:09:50.720
in Texas. We actually just came
from Texas. We've been working with a

127
00:09:50.720 --> 00:09:54.720
producer called Machine who's done the Glamor
God Follow It Boy. He's insane,

128
00:09:54.720 --> 00:09:56.840
he's amazing, nice and we've done
two weeks with him before this tour and

129
00:09:56.879 --> 00:10:03.080
we're going back to download two weeks
before downloads well so and it's sounding insane.

130
00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:07.240
So what I'm gonna have to get
a comparison from the next interview that

131
00:10:07.320 --> 00:10:11.759
we have between a Danny Wimmer festival
and a Download festival. Oh, I'll

132
00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:16.240
be honest, nice, honest.
You can be honest now if you want

133
00:10:16.320 --> 00:10:18.360
what I we'll say. The European
festivals ones that we have done, they've

134
00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:22.320
been very good. So I think
the UK is are we bet behind.

135
00:10:22.840 --> 00:10:26.080
You know, you know which one
I do that artists raved about was health

136
00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:31.639
Fest not done that? So apparently
they are so good at loading you in.

137
00:10:31.879 --> 00:10:37.240
Yeah. And France yeah yeah,
I think our manager said it's really

138
00:10:37.240 --> 00:10:39.320
good, actually said it's amazing.
Yeah. Every artist I talked to it's

139
00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:43.240
like the same thing they talk about
Danny Wimmer. It's like how they treat

140
00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:46.600
ours and like it's so stress free, you know, and the sound is

141
00:10:46.679 --> 00:10:52.960
perfect. Like that's the biggest stress
is the sound being a problem. So

142
00:10:52.840 --> 00:10:56.000
here you are, you're at You're
at the pinnacle, and now you have

143
00:10:56.039 --> 00:11:01.639
everything else to compare from it.
There you go. I love it.

144
00:11:01.639 --> 00:11:05.120
It's funny Download though, because it's
like that is our home turf. So

145
00:11:05.159 --> 00:11:09.240
it's like this weird thing of like
the crowds unbelievable, right, I can't.

146
00:11:09.480 --> 00:11:13.960
Yeah, I mean Download is an
incredible festival for punt us, Like

147
00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:18.600
they're real music fans. Yeah,
it's gonna be sick. It's massive as

148
00:11:18.639 --> 00:11:22.320
well. It's huge. Can't wait
to see there. And all our listeners

149
00:11:22.360 --> 00:11:24.080
they have to make sure. If
they didn't see it Rockville, go to

150
00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:28.360
Sonic Temple check you out. If
they missed that, then go to download

151
00:11:30.399 --> 00:11:33.360
download. I have listeners all over
the world and that's why I go to

152
00:11:33.399 --> 00:11:37.720
those. So maybe there's some British
people listening now, maybe there's some Scottish

153
00:11:37.720 --> 00:11:41.360
people Irish and they all gotta go
download right now. But if not,

154
00:11:43.639 --> 00:11:46.960
buy a plane ticket, go over
the download over here to see them,

155
00:11:48.159 --> 00:11:50.559
not go to download just because of
them. Hell yeah, thank you for

156
00:11:50.600 --> 00:11:54.879
that promotion. You got it,
hey, And everybody's say they have to

157
00:11:54.919 --> 00:11:56.440
listen to your music and check you
out or they can't listen to my show

158
00:11:56.480 --> 00:12:01.240
anymore. Whoa there, it is, there it is. Thanks guys for
