Man W four c Y Radio here at Welcome to

5
00:00:37.320 --> 00:00:38.600
Rockville and I'm here.

6
00:00:38.439 --> 00:00:42.159
With Maximilian and Anesthesia has nice.

7
00:00:42.520 --> 00:00:46.200
You're haunting Daytona now, yes we are. So we're just

8
00:00:46.280 --> 00:00:50.439
talking about that back in October. Actually, you know what

9
00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:54.039
I was at your show? I forgot I was because

10
00:00:54.079 --> 00:00:56.840
I got press passed to go there. So I was

11
00:00:56.920 --> 00:01:00.600
at your show now that we're talking about. Okay, So

12
00:01:00.759 --> 00:01:02.759
for listeners, you don't know what I'm talking about. But

13
00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:06.359
they performed in October at my favorite venue in South Florida,

14
00:01:06.480 --> 00:01:10.959
Respectable Street, right near our studio. Yeah, and you know,

15
00:01:11.079 --> 00:01:15.000
all these festivals and gigs like swirl around my head.

16
00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:19.359
There was so much going on, yeah exactly.

17
00:01:19.480 --> 00:01:24.439
But I love seeing bands in that environment compared to

18
00:01:24.799 --> 00:01:30.319
this environment. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, And I think kind

19
00:01:30.359 --> 00:01:33.560
of even though you have less space, sometimes you're more

20
00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:35.599
yourself in that environment.

21
00:01:35.640 --> 00:01:36.280
What do you think?

22
00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:37.840
Yeah, well, I mean I think there's something to be

23
00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:39.799
said about like a headline show. Because we played an

24
00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:41.879
hour and fifteen that night, and we set up our

25
00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:45.359
full everything that we would do and played every song

26
00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:47.159
we wanted to play, you know what I mean, And this.

27
00:01:47.439 --> 00:01:49.079
Is our fan base and we know what to expect.

28
00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:50.920
This is a more nerve wrecking. This is our first

29
00:01:51.519 --> 00:01:54.519
Rockville ever, so a lot nerris but we're excited.

30
00:01:54.159 --> 00:01:56.680
To be here. You're gonna kill it though, thank you

31
00:01:56.760 --> 00:01:57.079
so much.

32
00:01:57.120 --> 00:01:58.840
And yeah, I mean, we're super excited to be here.

33
00:01:58.879 --> 00:02:00.439
And we just did a whole run where we did,

34
00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:02.719
you know, a thirty minute set, so we're feeling pretty

35
00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:05.519
brushed up on the energy of it and stuff like that,

36
00:02:05.560 --> 00:02:07.959
because in a headliner, you know, you have ups and downs,

37
00:02:08.199 --> 00:02:11.400
different moments and stuff like that. And our mentality for

38
00:02:11.439 --> 00:02:15.520
a thirty minute set is all all gas, no breaks.

39
00:02:14.680 --> 00:02:18.879
Nice And so we're here, Welcome to Rockville.

40
00:02:19.240 --> 00:02:22.199
You've played Louder than Life? Have you played the other

41
00:02:22.280 --> 00:02:23.080
Danny Wimmer.

42
00:02:22.960 --> 00:02:24.479
Festivals yet this is our second one?

43
00:02:25.199 --> 00:02:28.120
So just walking in, like just from the get go,

44
00:02:29.319 --> 00:02:31.560
how do what's the vibe do you here?

45
00:02:31.719 --> 00:02:33.280
Compared to Louder than Life?

46
00:02:33.400 --> 00:02:36.520
I mean, I have to say the environment is ten

47
00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:41.199
out of ten, right, being on the speedway like this

48
00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:44.400
is really really cool, and the vibe is just like,

49
00:02:45.159 --> 00:02:47.360
you know, the weather's great, the vibe is great and

50
00:02:47.439 --> 00:02:50.199
where it's also just very cool to be at such

51
00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:53.159
a huge event. And it's also a huge event in

52
00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:55.520
our home state, so it feels it feels like kind

53
00:02:55.520 --> 00:02:56.840
of like a backyard show too, you know.

54
00:02:57.560 --> 00:03:00.120
You know what's fun for me is I only to

55
00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:02.479
drive three hours to get here.

56
00:03:03.080 --> 00:03:03.280
You know.

57
00:03:03.400 --> 00:03:06.560
It's like, oh yeah, and then I could go home like.

58
00:03:06.599 --> 00:03:08.560
After, yeah, exactly right after.

59
00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:11.520
Okay, I'm going home. Man, I don't want to do

60
00:03:11.639 --> 00:03:13.280
the road life right now. I'm at home.

61
00:03:13.439 --> 00:03:14.360
Yeah, us too.

62
00:03:14.599 --> 00:03:16.639
You know, we just got back from three months straight

63
00:03:16.680 --> 00:03:18.319
on the road, so it'd be nice to do this

64
00:03:18.439 --> 00:03:19.479
show and then just go straight.

65
00:03:19.759 --> 00:03:22.560
This is a great way to end that, right, you know,

66
00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:25.280
because it sucks if you're at the end of the

67
00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:28.240
tour and you're far away and then you first have

68
00:03:28.360 --> 00:03:30.479
to get home and it could be like days.

69
00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:31.560
Yeah you know.

70
00:03:31.960 --> 00:03:33.080
Yeah, so tour.

71
00:03:33.199 --> 00:03:35.120
A lot of tours for US end in California, so

72
00:03:35.400 --> 00:03:37.120
ends up being a pretty brutal way.

73
00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:42.000
Back, you know, yeah, totally. Yeah. So I have a

74
00:03:42.039 --> 00:03:43.199
trivia question for you.

75
00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:47.039
Okay, see all the colored seats, Yes, what does that

76
00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:49.039
mean or why is it there?

77
00:03:49.960 --> 00:03:51.400
I have a guest we had to guess when we

78
00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:53.400
were driving over, but actually I want to maybe make

79
00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:54.000
another one.

80
00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:54.879
Think about it.

81
00:03:55.039 --> 00:03:58.039
Give us first, give me to what the first guess was,

82
00:03:58.080 --> 00:04:00.439
because usually that's what's right, and then give me the

83
00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:01.080
second guest.

84
00:04:01.240 --> 00:04:04.120
My first guess was that it's to make it look

85
00:04:04.159 --> 00:04:05.479
like it's full even when it's not.

86
00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:07.719
Okay, And what's the second guest?

87
00:04:08.039 --> 00:04:09.479
I don't even know. If I really hot one, it

88
00:04:09.560 --> 00:04:11.000
might be something.

89
00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:18.160
Stick with your first guest. Stick your first guest. So

90
00:04:18.279 --> 00:04:19.639
he won that one.

91
00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:21.240
We said it on the way.

92
00:04:21.279 --> 00:04:23.319
You were like, that must be the reason, because when

93
00:04:23.319 --> 00:04:24.920
we were driving up, it looked like there was like

94
00:04:25.240 --> 00:04:26.879
an arena full of people.

95
00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:28.759
Right, exactly right, so cool.

96
00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:32.199
Even the black and white checolate the racing flag two

97
00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:32.839
is very cool.

98
00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:37.120
Yeah, and even the UH drivers.

99
00:04:37.639 --> 00:04:41.079
Like I was interviewing NASCAR driver yesterday and he said

100
00:04:41.160 --> 00:04:44.279
basically like, okay, so think about it. You're going to

101
00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:48.000
basketball game. There's only like twenty thousand people. If you

102
00:04:48.040 --> 00:04:50.680
only put twenty thousand people in here, it would look empty.

103
00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:52.720
Right, right, such a big venue.

104
00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:56.240
There was one one Suarez. I don't know if he's

105
00:04:56.240 --> 00:04:57.680
here today, but very cool.

106
00:04:57.879 --> 00:04:58.120
Cool.

107
00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:02.360
Yeah, So it was cool to talk to a NASCAR

108
00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:05.120
driver too, like right, I'm sure you could understand that

109
00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:06.600
it's an arust switching gears.

110
00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:07.879
You know, it's like it.

111
00:05:07.839 --> 00:05:10.000
Was kind of exciting when I got the review, like,

112
00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:13.319
you know, because you're always doing music interviews and this

113
00:05:13.439 --> 00:05:17.639
is something different, like and it isn't even my specialty,

114
00:05:17.800 --> 00:05:19.720
so it's like it's kind of exciting.

115
00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:21.639
It's like learning a new.

116
00:05:21.560 --> 00:05:22.720
Riff, right right.

117
00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:24.560
I like that too, like when we're doing you know,

118
00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:26.480
even when we're on the road and stuff, if it's

119
00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:28.680
football season or something like that's my big sport that

120
00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:30.959
I care about, and when it's something that like, it

121
00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:33.319
just lets you change gears for a little bit, care

122
00:05:33.319 --> 00:05:35.720
about something else, and you know, for something else for a.

123
00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:36.639
Minute, exactly.

124
00:05:37.439 --> 00:05:42.040
So have you heard much about Welcome to Rockville from

125
00:05:42.040 --> 00:05:45.240
like other artists or other Yes, I always.

126
00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:47.920
Wanted to go growing up and everything that we just never.

127
00:05:48.519 --> 00:05:50.839
We never never made it up. Yeah.

128
00:05:51.079 --> 00:05:53.439
Nice, Well here you are and now you're going to perform.

129
00:05:54.759 --> 00:05:54.920
Right.

130
00:05:55.199 --> 00:05:57.199
That was for Louder too, our first way, our first

131
00:05:57.199 --> 00:05:58.879
time ever doing it was just playing it, which was

132
00:05:58.920 --> 00:05:59.360
so cool.

133
00:05:59.480 --> 00:06:05.600
So can now say that you haunted the Daytona International Speedway.

134
00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:06.839
Yes weekent, yes week.

135
00:06:06.680 --> 00:06:08.480
Out, and so.

136
00:06:10.120 --> 00:06:13.360
If you were gonna die at the Speedway, what would

137
00:06:13.399 --> 00:06:17.720
be your favorite way to die? You didn't even expect that.

138
00:06:18.199 --> 00:06:21.720
I thought it would be obvious today and I said that, well.

139
00:06:23.600 --> 00:06:28.959
Then love, Yeah, I would say, uh.

140
00:06:28.600 --> 00:06:29.920
I'm not going to name a real way to die

141
00:06:29.959 --> 00:06:30.600
right now.

142
00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:33.480
I'll say, especially not in performance.

143
00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:37.519
I'll say, I'll say in the pit at the garage

144
00:06:37.560 --> 00:06:41.079
stage at three forty five, raging to our set, and really.

145
00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:42.920
They're one and the same. That's that's for love.

146
00:06:43.079 --> 00:06:45.079
It is for love there, it is. I love that.

147
00:06:45.800 --> 00:06:48.000
I'll tell you, what are you doing any other wim

148
00:06:48.160 --> 00:06:51.279
festivals this year? And there's a reason for my asking this, No,

149
00:06:51.319 --> 00:06:53.720
not this year. Okay, I'm gonna put out to Danny

150
00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:57.399
they need to put you on incarceration because how could

151
00:06:57.439 --> 00:06:59.120
you not have the haunt?

152
00:06:59.199 --> 00:07:00.680
I don't haunt in prison.

153
00:07:01.160 --> 00:07:03.360
He was just talking about it too, saying like it's

154
00:07:03.399 --> 00:07:07.199
so sick grounds and everything, and we've never been.

155
00:07:07.120 --> 00:07:10.120
So yeah, you also have two music videos in abandoned prison,

156
00:07:10.199 --> 00:07:11.839
So I feel like it is something that we need

157
00:07:11.879 --> 00:07:12.079
to do.

158
00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:12.759
We need to get in.

159
00:07:12.839 --> 00:07:13.680
There, absolutely.

160
00:07:13.839 --> 00:07:16.519
And what's cool about it is, well, there's a lot

161
00:07:16.600 --> 00:07:17.639
cool about it for me.

162
00:07:17.920 --> 00:07:19.680
What was cool is, you know, my daughter.

163
00:07:19.800 --> 00:07:22.480
She always asked me every festival, so Dad, you excited

164
00:07:22.480 --> 00:07:24.879
to go to this festival? And you would understand this.

165
00:07:24.959 --> 00:07:27.240
It's like I love doing it. I don't know if

166
00:07:27.319 --> 00:07:29.680
excite it's the word you would use when you're doing

167
00:07:29.680 --> 00:07:32.439
it every single week. Yeah, you know, like type of thing.

168
00:07:32.920 --> 00:07:36.480
But then the first time I went to Shawshank, I

169
00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:39.120
called her from the prison yard at Shawshank. I'm like,

170
00:07:39.319 --> 00:07:42.839
now I'm excited. I'm at Shush. I'm in the calling

171
00:07:42.839 --> 00:07:46.279
you from a prison yard of Shawshank, And I took

172
00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:49.920
pictures in the cells and pertaining to sit on the

173
00:07:49.959 --> 00:07:51.000
toilet in the cell.

174
00:07:51.240 --> 00:07:53.040
They let the band stuff do like the little tour

175
00:07:53.079 --> 00:07:53.560
of it, right.

176
00:07:53.759 --> 00:07:57.800
Yeah, there's a tour and then you have you have tattooing.

177
00:07:57.279 --> 00:07:59.639
There cool, and then they have part of it is

178
00:07:59.639 --> 00:08:00.199
the tatcho.

179
00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:02.000
And this will be your favorite.

180
00:08:02.120 --> 00:08:05.240
They actually do have like a haunted house thing in

181
00:08:05.279 --> 00:08:08.279
the basement, so you don't even know when you're getting

182
00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:12.839
scared during that haunted thing, whether it's the actors or

183
00:08:12.920 --> 00:08:13.639
a real.

184
00:08:13.959 --> 00:08:17.160
Haunt, because it is haunted. You know.

185
00:08:17.319 --> 00:08:21.439
Waylan reeves right from a killer's confession and mushroom head. Okay,

186
00:08:21.560 --> 00:08:25.560
so he I interviewed him once an incarceration and he

187
00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:31.199
did a video like in there's a torture room in

188
00:08:31.240 --> 00:08:33.960
the prison. He did a video there and he said

189
00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:37.919
he came out and his whole chest was all scratched

190
00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:43.200
up and broke really trip right, Yeah, and then you

191
00:08:43.240 --> 00:08:48.759
know the famous giant Cash performing at fulsome prison and well,

192
00:08:48.799 --> 00:08:52.360
you know there's a new prison next door and sometimes

193
00:08:52.360 --> 00:08:54.919
the inmates are out in the yard during the festival,

194
00:08:55.000 --> 00:08:58.159
so you guys could be playing to inmates just like

195
00:08:58.279 --> 00:09:02.639
Johnny Cash. It's insane, right, Yeah, So I'm just putting

196
00:09:02.639 --> 00:09:06.559
that out there, Danny, that that's the next Wimmer festival

197
00:09:06.600 --> 00:09:07.360
he needs to put you.

198
00:09:07.480 --> 00:09:10.039
Yeah, yeah, we're ready. So whenever, whenever he wants us,

199
00:09:10.039 --> 00:09:10.519
we'll be there.

200
00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:13.639
So speak and Dyane tell me about the new song.

201
00:09:14.440 --> 00:09:16.080
Well, we're super excited about the new single.

202
00:09:16.120 --> 00:09:19.440
It's a you know, a second single from our upcoming record,

203
00:09:19.440 --> 00:09:22.440
which is called Ghost. That was the also the title

204
00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:24.000
of the first single, which was the song that we

205
00:09:24.039 --> 00:09:25.919
did with John Feldman. We did half the record with

206
00:09:25.960 --> 00:09:28.320
John Feldman, half the record with Kevin Thrasher who did

207
00:09:28.320 --> 00:09:32.360
the last record. Cool, and we're super super excited about it.

208
00:09:32.120 --> 00:09:35.360
We're just kind of wrapped everything up in all the songs, like,

209
00:09:35.480 --> 00:09:37.799
we couldn't be more hype with how everything ended up.

210
00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:40.679
So yeah, we can't wait for more tracks to come

211
00:09:40.679 --> 00:09:42.679
out and everybody to get you know, get to hear

212
00:09:42.720 --> 00:09:43.240
these songs.

213
00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:45.440
How do you think the album is better by having

214
00:09:45.559 --> 00:09:48.639
like almost like two personalities in the album.

215
00:09:49.080 --> 00:09:51.799
It's interesting because you'd think that it would make something

216
00:09:51.840 --> 00:09:57.279
that's like physically feels different. But I think when you know,

217
00:09:57.320 --> 00:09:59.519
when we're in the studio, we write a specific way,

218
00:09:59.600 --> 00:10:01.879
and we push for specific sounds and stuff. And though

219
00:10:01.960 --> 00:10:03.840
I think that there's ways that you can probably tell

220
00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:05.639
the differences between the stuff that we did with Kevin

221
00:10:05.879 --> 00:10:08.240
and the stuff that we did with Feldman because they

222
00:10:08.240 --> 00:10:10.639
both have different production flair that they could grow on it.

223
00:10:10.960 --> 00:10:12.799
But at the end of the day, I think everything

224
00:10:12.840 --> 00:10:14.159
on it. And we were kind of worried about this

225
00:10:14.200 --> 00:10:15.840
in the beginning too, but at the end of the day,

226
00:10:15.840 --> 00:10:17.799
I feel like everything really came away sounding like han

227
00:10:17.879 --> 00:10:19.120
songs at the end of the day, which is the

228
00:10:19.120 --> 00:10:22.320
most important that we're so so so excited about how

229
00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:24.320
everything turned out so nice.

230
00:10:24.879 --> 00:10:27.399
Anything else you need to let the listeners know that

231
00:10:27.440 --> 00:10:30.360
we haven't talked about that's coming up here in twenty

232
00:10:30.440 --> 00:10:30.960
twenty six.

233
00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:32.600
Be on the lookout for the album.

234
00:10:32.879 --> 00:10:36.559
