00:00:04.639 --> 00:00:07.280
Hi, you love one to censure.

2
00:00:10.839 --> 00:00:33.520
Wow, Pra Young, this is pipe Man here on the

3
00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:35.960
Adventures pipe Man W four C Y Radio, and I'm

4
00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:40.520
here with Platinum Moon Nice here at Welcome to Rockville.

5
00:00:40.640 --> 00:00:45.280
How does that feel awesome? Have you ever experienced anything

6
00:00:45.560 --> 00:00:46.119
like this?

7
00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:50.759
I mean, you know, we've we've played at festivals before,

8
00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:53.439
but I think I think this is our first like

9
00:00:54.119 --> 00:00:57.640
ginormous one, you know, one that feels like there's like

10
00:00:57.679 --> 00:01:00.359
an endless amount of like people and things to do,

11
00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:01.799
and it's it's just awesome.

12
00:01:01.960 --> 00:01:03.119
So we're so happy to be here.

13
00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:05.959
Yeah, and it like we'll probably have like one hundred

14
00:01:05.959 --> 00:01:07.599
and fifty thousand people here today.

15
00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:11.280
Yeah, that's that's incredible, right, And so I.

16
00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:15.359
Always like to ask, how as an artist do you

17
00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:18.879
feel Danny Wimmer and his team treats you? Guys?

18
00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:20.959
I feel great.

19
00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:25.640
I think that he has a great team that you know,

20
00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:28.480
reached out to us and made sure that we were

21
00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:32.120
well accounted for, accommodated for. You know, I have dietary

22
00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:36.920
restrictions that always makes things tough, but you know, they

23
00:01:37.359 --> 00:01:39.879
they really figured everything out to make sure that we

24
00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:43.480
were well hydrated, well taken care of, knew where we

25
00:01:43.599 --> 00:01:45.120
were going. Everything's very thorough.

26
00:01:45.319 --> 00:01:49.400
So I like what you said about the dietary restrictions

27
00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:54.480
because most festivals you would be starving, right yea, right,

28
00:01:55.079 --> 00:01:58.040
And I've been in catering a women festival and it

29
00:01:58.159 --> 00:02:01.560
does cater to pretty much everybody, no matter what your

30
00:02:01.640 --> 00:02:02.680
dietary habit is.

31
00:02:02.879 --> 00:02:05.159
Yes, yeah, absolutely, I think it's.

32
00:02:05.079 --> 00:02:08.120
Great to think of those little things. That's why I'm

33
00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:11.759
bringing it up, because those little things make your job

34
00:02:11.919 --> 00:02:13.319
much easier, right right, And.

35
00:02:13.960 --> 00:02:16.680
It proves that you know, the artist is important to

36
00:02:17.439 --> 00:02:18.719
everyone absolutely.

37
00:02:19.080 --> 00:02:21.520
And what I've noticed through all the years doing these

38
00:02:21.759 --> 00:02:25.400
is it doesn't matter if you're the first fan of

39
00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:28.719
the whole festival or you're the food fighters, you get

40
00:02:28.759 --> 00:02:29.400
treated the same.

41
00:02:29.719 --> 00:02:33.400
Yeah, absolutely absolutely, So tell.

42
00:02:33.360 --> 00:02:36.240
Us a little bit about for our listeners how you,

43
00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:39.319
as the artists would describe your band and your music.

44
00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:42.520
And I don't mean genre because I hate those labels

45
00:02:43.400 --> 00:02:45.759
boxes ares in to where ooh, I can.

46
00:02:45.719 --> 00:02:51.960
Only do it this way, so like adjectives like very descriptive, exactly.

47
00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:55.080
Energetic, chaotic, silly.

48
00:02:56.520 --> 00:02:59.639
Like like we want everybody to rock out and headbang

49
00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:02.719
and have a good time, you know so, And we

50
00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:06.319
also love writing things that people can dance to, you know.

51
00:03:06.479 --> 00:03:11.080
So it's it's just complete like energy and chaos on

52
00:03:11.319 --> 00:03:14.439
stage because we want people to feel that. I love

53
00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:17.439
that and reflect like reflecting back and forth kind of thing.

54
00:03:17.520 --> 00:03:17.680
You know.

55
00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:21.919
What's cool about that is important the live show. Like

56
00:03:22.919 --> 00:03:25.800
there are bands that they do the live show that's

57
00:03:25.919 --> 00:03:29.319
like they're just playing the album. Yeah, and then there's

58
00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:33.120
a live show, and I think that makes the difference.

59
00:03:33.159 --> 00:03:35.520
I can't tell you how many times I've seen a

60
00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:39.719
band that either a I didn't listen to because I

61
00:03:39.759 --> 00:03:45.080
didn't really like them listening on some platform, and then

62
00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:48.800
I'd see them live. I'm like, oh my god, Yeah,

63
00:03:49.159 --> 00:03:53.199
you know, it changes it right absolutely. I mean even

64
00:03:53.479 --> 00:03:55.879
when the headliners here at Welcome Rockville is in my

65
00:03:56.080 --> 00:03:58.400
top five favorite bands bring Me to the Rise And

66
00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:01.560
it all happened at Danny Went Festival and I was

67
00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:05.919
in the pit for their set and I was like,

68
00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:09.000
oh my god, this is the best thing ever, you know,

69
00:04:09.520 --> 00:04:11.319
And I think it does make a difference. You have

70
00:04:11.400 --> 00:04:12.919
to get out there and give it your all and

71
00:04:13.039 --> 00:04:17.240
then the people love it and they give it their all. Absolutely, yes,

72
00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:21.839
So what started this journey in music for all of you?

73
00:04:22.680 --> 00:04:26.240
So like individually or like the band itself, I'd say both.

74
00:04:26.480 --> 00:04:27.439
Okay, so.

75
00:04:29.199 --> 00:04:32.160
Anton and Joseph, they they kind of started the band

76
00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:33.360
together their brothers.

77
00:04:33.879 --> 00:04:34.920
You can talk more on that.

78
00:04:35.839 --> 00:04:38.759
I love his shirt by the way, thank you, thank you. Yeah.

79
00:04:38.839 --> 00:04:41.199
So, me and my brother we started the band, and

80
00:04:41.279 --> 00:04:45.199
we basically kind of scouted around for other people at

81
00:04:45.319 --> 00:04:49.040
local music schools and just like local teachers try and

82
00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:51.759
find people that were like the right fit for us.

83
00:04:51.920 --> 00:04:55.480
That's how I found Avar singer, Ethano drummer and everyone else.

84
00:04:55.680 --> 00:04:58.800
So yeah, that's how it started.

85
00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:03.879
And I'd say individually, we all kind of we found

86
00:05:03.879 --> 00:05:04.879
our own paths to music.

87
00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:05.920
I'll hand it off to people.

88
00:05:06.319 --> 00:05:10.759
The way I started was, you know, I hated regular

89
00:05:10.879 --> 00:05:12.680
camp when I was growing up, so I went to

90
00:05:12.800 --> 00:05:15.319
music camps and I was like, I want to be cool,

91
00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:16.240
I want to play the guitar.

92
00:05:16.399 --> 00:05:17.759
I want to be a rock star.

93
00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:21.480
So I learned a lot through music camps and then

94
00:05:21.519 --> 00:05:24.439
I did like theory and things like that, and it

95
00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:27.879
just like it just built up as I kept listening

96
00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:29.720
to like Zeppelin and Guns and Roses, and.

97
00:05:29.720 --> 00:05:31.639
I just wanted it more nice.

98
00:05:34.439 --> 00:05:39.199
My brother and I started with music as classically trained

99
00:05:39.279 --> 00:05:43.600
pianists and that's basically how we got involved with everything.

100
00:05:43.839 --> 00:05:48.399
But our love for music goes beyond everything, all different

101
00:05:48.439 --> 00:05:51.360
types of genres. So eventually we formed this rock band.

102
00:05:51.439 --> 00:05:55.519
But I still like to go to symphony and rock

103
00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:56.000
out to some.

104
00:05:56.079 --> 00:06:01.519
Shostakovish nice and I think too it too that if

105
00:06:01.560 --> 00:06:05.199
you can play piano, you can play most interest instruments,

106
00:06:05.240 --> 00:06:08.000
so it's good to start there, and then you could

107
00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:13.839
just be like Metallica and play with symphony all together. Yeah.

108
00:06:13.879 --> 00:06:16.759
I definitely started as a listener through my parents and

109
00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:18.360
they would always just have stuff on in the car,

110
00:06:18.480 --> 00:06:21.000
and then you know, they were like, go play an instrument,

111
00:06:21.079 --> 00:06:22.480
and they sent me to guitar, and then I started

112
00:06:22.519 --> 00:06:26.399
up with that and there's that sucked, and uh, you know,

113
00:06:26.439 --> 00:06:28.920
I started playing the drums and whatnot, and you know,

114
00:06:29.040 --> 00:06:31.240
through rock music and like a lot of bands go

115
00:06:31.480 --> 00:06:35.240
growing up and just yeah, I love hitting.

116
00:06:35.079 --> 00:06:37.519
Things nice nice. I love it.

117
00:06:43.839 --> 00:06:48.040
I started playing piano when I was four, and I

118
00:06:48.199 --> 00:06:52.279
kind of still do a bunch of random crap, like

119
00:06:52.759 --> 00:06:55.839
particularly in like school, I've done like jazz bands. Right now,

120
00:06:55.959 --> 00:06:59.560
I'm like accompanying a bunch of people for like opera recitals.

121
00:07:00.279 --> 00:07:03.040
So I really enjoy like music in general, and not

122
00:07:03.240 --> 00:07:04.600
just playing in a rock band.

123
00:07:08.439 --> 00:07:08.920
Hi, mom.

124
00:07:11.000 --> 00:07:13.279
My dad was a guitarist, so growing up, my house

125
00:07:13.439 --> 00:07:15.800
just kind of full of guitars, so it was inevitable,

126
00:07:16.120 --> 00:07:18.120
and also playing a lot of guitar hero as a kid.

127
00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:22.199
Nice, This is Jake.

128
00:07:22.439 --> 00:07:25.920
Both my grandfathers were drummers and my dad was a

129
00:07:26.040 --> 00:07:28.920
DJ for thirty years. So I was taught rhythm before

130
00:07:28.920 --> 00:07:31.959
I was taught English, and we're still rocking with it.

131
00:07:32.439 --> 00:07:37.639
Nice and I, guys say, you're such a pro because

132
00:07:37.959 --> 00:07:41.519
as the MIC's going around, she's holding the wires so

133
00:07:41.720 --> 00:07:45.439
my thing doesn't fall off the table. Yes, like nobody

134
00:07:45.519 --> 00:07:48.639
else would think of that. I was very impressed by that.

135
00:07:48.839 --> 00:07:52.079
Oh good, I'm glad. I'm happy to help right right.

136
00:07:52.680 --> 00:07:56.959
And it's so good to hear stuff like this, especially

137
00:07:57.040 --> 00:08:00.879
with your parents, because that that's one thing I always

138
00:08:00.920 --> 00:08:04.639
talk about today when it comes to metal and punk.

139
00:08:05.800 --> 00:08:07.800
When I saw getting to metal and punk, there was

140
00:08:08.040 --> 00:08:11.680
no way my parents were ever going with me to

141
00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:14.920
a show, nor was I going to listen to their

142
00:08:15.079 --> 00:08:18.920
crap music. And now I love it. Nowadays it's like

143
00:08:19.680 --> 00:08:24.000
you got parents and their kids and their grandkids all

144
00:08:24.279 --> 00:08:27.839
going to metal shows and punk shows together.

145
00:08:28.040 --> 00:08:29.639
It's a community. It's really great.

146
00:08:29.839 --> 00:08:32.559
It's such a like a family. They used to have

147
00:08:32.639 --> 00:08:35.960
the Family Values tour, but really today is the true

148
00:08:36.039 --> 00:08:39.720
family values of metal, rock and roll and punk.

149
00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:41.080
Yeah, it's a great time.

150
00:08:41.480 --> 00:08:43.639
Anything else you want to share with the listeners that

151
00:08:43.720 --> 00:08:45.600
