00:00:26.920 --> 00:00:31.079
Hi, Army Sue from her O Joe.
2
00:00:31.640 --> 00:00:31.960
What's that?
3
00:00:33.439 --> 00:00:37.240
So we're yeah, we're great, Thank you, Chris.
4
00:00:38.240 --> 00:00:41.039
Yeah, we're just chatting with you today because we've got
5
00:00:41.039 --> 00:00:44.280
some exciting news. We're closing the Mitchell Creek Blues and
6
00:00:44.399 --> 00:00:49.920
Rock Festival thirteenth, September three to the fifteenth, so we're
7
00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:53.000
there for three days. It's going to be hay though,
8
00:00:53.079 --> 00:00:56.159
because we are the last band, which is unfortunate for us.
9
00:00:58.039 --> 00:01:01.759
Have you really cute to be three days of camping?
10
00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:06.439
The facilities are apparently amazing, there's one hundred and twenty apps,
11
00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:10.719
so we're pretty exciting. The bands flying up for Melbourne,
12
00:01:11.719 --> 00:01:16.959
we're flying down from camps. So yeah, that's what's happening.
13
00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:18.719
That's in a couple of weeks.
14
00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:21.120
Beautiful guys. Thanks for joining us this evening.
15
00:01:22.760 --> 00:01:27.200
Thanks so, as you mentioned her, have the honor of
16
00:01:27.239 --> 00:01:30.079
closing the thirteenth Mitchell Creek Rock and Blues Festival the
17
00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:34.239
Sunshine Coast Hinderland from September thirteen to fifteenth. Like you
18
00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:36.079
say it, it sort of doesn't really sink in, but if
19
00:01:36.120 --> 00:01:38.519
you think about it, guys, that's a massive achievement. Like
20
00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:41.879
you're closing the Mitchell Creek Rock and Blues Festival and
21
00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:44.640
that's good achievement, well done.
22
00:01:44.760 --> 00:01:49.159
I know, it just came out of the blue light. Seriously,
23
00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:51.760
I was contemplating, like, where are we going? What are
24
00:01:51.760 --> 00:01:54.040
we doing with this band? What's going on?
25
00:01:54.120 --> 00:01:54.319
You know?
26
00:01:54.959 --> 00:01:57.640
Is it such you know, it's such hard work as.
27
00:01:57.480 --> 00:02:01.480
You know, the band going in and I was I
28
00:02:01.519 --> 00:02:03.599
was really like having a bit of the down.
29
00:02:03.799 --> 00:02:05.799
I said, I don't even know who you're going to
30
00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:08.759
keep this band going, you know. And then the phone rang.
31
00:02:08.879 --> 00:02:12.240
It was Jimmy and he said, hey, how do light
32
00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:16.840
to come up play festival ORB Nights And I was like, wow, okay,
33
00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:22.000
what's this all about? And yeah, so it was just
34
00:02:22.120 --> 00:02:25.199
out of the blue totally. The Bloody said they've been
35
00:02:25.199 --> 00:02:29.319
following us for a while and he was drawn to
36
00:02:29.479 --> 00:02:30.800
our single The Truth.
37
00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:31.879
He really loved that.
38
00:02:31.919 --> 00:02:36.039
It's suit of a classic rock kind of single. So yeah,
39
00:02:36.280 --> 00:02:38.159
that's that's basically how it happened.
40
00:02:38.719 --> 00:02:41.039
Nice and the first of U's got one hundred and
41
00:02:41.080 --> 00:02:44.400
twenty artists planned, including the Radiators. There's hat Fits, Stained,
42
00:02:44.439 --> 00:02:47.400
Pacey Trio, him Gays in the Rough, Diamonds like it
43
00:02:47.439 --> 00:02:50.400
only bands in particular you're looking forward to catch it.
44
00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:52.120
Well.
45
00:02:52.520 --> 00:02:55.479
Jeron's really good mates with Lockie to only he's playing
46
00:02:56.199 --> 00:02:57.080
just before.
47
00:02:56.800 --> 00:03:06.240
Us, Yeah Sunday that it's just amazing. He is so
48
00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:10.000
such a player and the.
49
00:03:12.199 --> 00:03:16.479
M Yeah, and there's a few there's a few.
50
00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:22.360
Bands dotted through the three days that you definitely want
51
00:03:22.360 --> 00:03:25.960
to on a catch where we're going to be probably
52
00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:31.639
spending on the Saturday rebursing into studio the property, so
53
00:03:32.439 --> 00:03:37.080
you might miss you there. But yeah, we're so just
54
00:03:37.199 --> 00:03:45.639
even just seeing it's such great, great guys. Yeah, yeah,
55
00:03:46.199 --> 00:03:48.520
I've got I've got girlfriends you know that I've known
56
00:03:48.639 --> 00:03:52.000
since your high school that have got tickets that are
57
00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:54.960
coming and that live around that area.
58
00:03:55.400 --> 00:03:58.800
So there's about three groups that are coming. So it's
59
00:03:58.840 --> 00:03:59.240
going to be.
60
00:03:59.400 --> 00:03:59.919
It's going to be.
61
00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:02.400
It's gonna be.
62
00:04:04.960 --> 00:04:06.560
We've had a little bit of a joke about this,
63
00:04:06.680 --> 00:04:08.560
but it's it's a serious thing.
64
00:04:08.639 --> 00:04:10.159
Like you're gonna be there for three days.
65
00:04:10.159 --> 00:04:12.879
There's one hundred and twenty bands, three days of partying.
66
00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:14.439
Have you got a battle plan?
67
00:04:14.520 --> 00:04:16.079
How you're going to pace yourself yet or are you
68
00:04:16.199 --> 00:04:20.120
just gonna got the cheats?
69
00:04:27.439 --> 00:04:29.480
We're pretty season.
70
00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:35.120
Roles, you know, We're just we just keep for me
71
00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:38.959
as it's trying not to talk too much as you.
72
00:04:39.240 --> 00:04:41.920
Probably trying to get caught up in the emotion of it.
73
00:04:41.959 --> 00:04:51.000
I guess, yes, yeah, what happened before though, Like you
74
00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:52.759
guys will be trying to be quiet because you don't
75
00:04:52.759 --> 00:04:55.120
want to recognoice. People will be trying to talk to you.
76
00:04:55.160 --> 00:04:57.319
They'll be thinking you're rude because you're not talking back
77
00:04:57.360 --> 00:04:59.800
to them. They'll get the you'll get the ships in
78
00:04:59.839 --> 00:05:01.480
there you're yell at them, then all of a sudden,
79
00:05:01.480 --> 00:05:02.519
banging your voices playing.
80
00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:08.759
It's really is going to be challenged, especially while we're talking.
81
00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:12.600
You know, there's street of my best girl friends that
82
00:05:12.759 --> 00:05:20.439
are coming. You know that part, you know, So I'll
83
00:05:20.439 --> 00:05:23.480
behave myself. I we'll just paint it.
84
00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:32.399
Yeah, it'll be fine now looking through the light up,
85
00:05:32.439 --> 00:05:32.800
I reckon.
86
00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:35.000
Aside from the radiators, you guys are pretty much going
87
00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:37.759
to be the hardest and heaviest span over the three
88
00:05:37.839 --> 00:05:40.720
days made. So did you think have you thought about yet? Like,
89
00:05:41.079 --> 00:05:42.639
do you reckon the crowd will be hard to win
90
00:05:42.680 --> 00:05:44.959
over or do you reckon it'll sort of they'll be
91
00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:46.000
looking for something different.
92
00:05:47.319 --> 00:05:50.959
Oh, look, I reckon, it's you know, being three days,
93
00:05:51.399 --> 00:05:54.040
there's a lot of there's yeah, a lot of different clues.
94
00:05:54.120 --> 00:05:56.759
There's some focused soul, there's there's a bit of rock,
95
00:05:57.839 --> 00:05:59.839
but we're definitely forecial.
96
00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:02.079
And I said to Jimmy.
97
00:06:01.920 --> 00:06:04.959
Look, man, you know we've got some soul songs, we've
98
00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:08.079
got some more sort of funky stuff, like do you
99
00:06:08.120 --> 00:06:10.319
want us to to kind of play.
100
00:06:10.199 --> 00:06:13.920
Down a bit? And he said no, he said, the
101
00:06:13.959 --> 00:06:15.839
heart of the better mish go hard.
102
00:06:16.040 --> 00:06:25.160
So all right, so we pulled out all of our seriously,
103
00:06:25.519 --> 00:06:28.120
you know how there's a couple of classic rock songs
104
00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:31.120
in there, but most of the hardest stuff. So I
105
00:06:31.240 --> 00:06:33.959
usually sort of try and do our sets so that
106
00:06:34.199 --> 00:06:36.439
you know, there's a bit of a light and shade
107
00:06:36.519 --> 00:06:39.680
and a bit of a crescendo. But this is going
108
00:06:39.759 --> 00:06:42.639
to be in your face. Yeah, We're just we're just
109
00:06:42.680 --> 00:06:50.120
going to go for it. Yeah, it's it's a huge rift.
110
00:06:50.399 --> 00:06:53.879
Nelson Young's in a way there, so yeah, it's gonna
111
00:06:53.920 --> 00:06:54.639
it's going to be in.
112
00:06:54.600 --> 00:06:57.759
Their face, that's sure. I hope we've been the O.
113
00:06:58.199 --> 00:07:01.160
I think you know we've done I don't know most
114
00:07:01.160 --> 00:07:04.079
of the songs we've played, you know, yeah, done a
115
00:07:04.079 --> 00:07:05.120
lot of shows these.
116
00:07:05.079 --> 00:07:10.199
Songs people, you know, and I played in middle school.
117
00:07:13.000 --> 00:07:15.839
And it's all blues based, it's all soul based, and
118
00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:17.680
it's all you know, classic rock.
119
00:07:17.759 --> 00:07:21.959
So it really fits. As far as the other content playing,
120
00:07:22.600 --> 00:07:25.240
it's along the day line. It's just.
121
00:07:27.319 --> 00:07:32.560
Maybe a little bitter, you know.
122
00:07:32.839 --> 00:07:37.240
Yeah, so yeah, we definitely definitely had that conversation. But
123
00:07:37.480 --> 00:07:40.920
like we've had We've had the Grand Flag, Grand Light,
124
00:07:41.199 --> 00:07:44.199
and yeah, we're just going to go for it. And
125
00:07:44.319 --> 00:07:47.800
I think being the last band, you know, it will
126
00:07:47.839 --> 00:07:50.439
be it will be a party that the ones that
127
00:07:50.920 --> 00:07:54.319
stays to the end, you know that that would be
128
00:07:54.319 --> 00:07:58.319
the hard there anyway, So all the kids will be bad.
129
00:07:58.439 --> 00:08:09.079
I'm pretty sure I should be anyway. You guys recently
130
00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:12.519
released your latest EP, toe Tag as well, So how's.
131
00:08:12.319 --> 00:08:13.839
The how's the only response been for that?
132
00:08:15.399 --> 00:08:16.399
Yeah? Really good.
133
00:08:17.399 --> 00:08:20.480
I probably need to do more work, you know. It's
134
00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:24.560
it's a constant. We're pretty organic, you know. I only
135
00:08:25.040 --> 00:08:28.879
really sort of gotten onto this streaming in the last
136
00:08:28.879 --> 00:08:32.519
couple of years. Our first album was a CD. We
137
00:08:32.679 --> 00:08:36.480
sold five hundred copies hard copies of that. I think
138
00:08:36.519 --> 00:08:40.440
I've got ten left for this festival, and so I
139
00:08:40.559 --> 00:08:43.639
was pretty anti streaming to be honest.
140
00:08:43.799 --> 00:08:45.279
I'm a bit old school that's.
141
00:08:45.080 --> 00:08:50.000
So it's definitely something that we need to look further into.
142
00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:51.399
There's no escaping it.
143
00:08:52.159 --> 00:08:56.879
Unfortunately, just got to give life's work away.
144
00:08:58.120 --> 00:09:05.240
So you know, office company that kind of infrastructed buying.
145
00:09:05.399 --> 00:09:12.039
So we're doing it, and you know it's a lot.
146
00:09:12.360 --> 00:09:15.120
But you know what, every radio station that I've had
147
00:09:15.159 --> 00:09:20.080
time to approach and send to, they've all played it.
148
00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:23.879
So you know, we do get a lot of support,
149
00:09:24.519 --> 00:09:29.639
community radio support. It's just that constant job, you know,
150
00:09:30.559 --> 00:09:34.159
great to have. Yeah, it just got to keep at
151
00:09:34.200 --> 00:09:34.919
it constantly.
152
00:09:34.960 --> 00:09:37.720
But yeah, look it's it's going all right. It's organic.
153
00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:41.399
And you know, we had eighty streams the other day
154
00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:45.159
and I think, well that's okay considering I don't advertise,
155
00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:48.519
I don't do the the boosts or whatever that is.
156
00:09:48.600 --> 00:09:50.679
You know. So, yeah, it.
157
00:09:50.759 --> 00:09:53.720
Sounds so much like me. It sounds so much like me.
158
00:09:53.840 --> 00:10:02.360
It's like I had no fucking idea yea out with
159
00:10:02.399 --> 00:10:04.440
the posters and the glue, like putting the posters on
160
00:10:04.480 --> 00:10:07.679
the telegraph.
161
00:10:08.840 --> 00:10:09.320
You know what.
162
00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:13.799
Honestly, I believe that still works in a scene and
163
00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:17.440
the white noise and the constant ship that's on your
164
00:10:17.480 --> 00:10:20.360
screen if you go on to your regular and walking
165
00:10:20.399 --> 00:10:23.039
around Chapel Street or runs it through whatever, and you.
166
00:10:23.039 --> 00:10:26.879
See the poster every day. I think it's does into
167
00:10:27.000 --> 00:10:28.679
the subconscious on some level.
168
00:10:29.600 --> 00:10:33.240
And that's apparently takes six times in the old scale
169
00:10:33.279 --> 00:10:39.480
of marketing before someone acknowledges your brand. So I think
170
00:10:39.559 --> 00:10:43.600
having those pies and that's really important, I really do,
171
00:10:44.679 --> 00:10:46.919
and I always do that with all of our shows
172
00:10:47.240 --> 00:10:49.279
when we're from I always do posters.
173
00:10:49.879 --> 00:10:50.120
Yeah.
174
00:10:50.879 --> 00:10:53.440
Cool, I've readden through your pressure these guys.
175
00:10:53.480 --> 00:10:56.919
It says that you're continually pushing the boundaries of your
176
00:10:57.000 --> 00:10:58.120
musical expression.
177
00:10:58.279 --> 00:11:00.399
Like it sounds great, but what is it you mean,
178
00:11:00.399 --> 00:11:02.759
can you elaborate on that? A good for us?
179
00:11:03.399 --> 00:11:06.679
Well, yeah, because it's such a it's such a process
180
00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:08.559
for me personally as a writer.
181
00:11:08.759 --> 00:11:10.440
I mean, I collaborate.
182
00:11:10.120 --> 00:11:15.240
Still with my old guitar, a Steel, So you know,
183
00:11:15.440 --> 00:11:18.200
we've we've got so much stuff on the shelf yet
184
00:11:18.240 --> 00:11:22.240
to release, so that has been interesting bringing that into
185
00:11:22.440 --> 00:11:24.360
you know, I had to went up with her together
186
00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:25.159
six years ago.
187
00:11:25.840 --> 00:11:27.519
That was kind of all the songs I had was
188
00:11:27.600 --> 00:11:31.919
my back catalog. And then when Jerome and I started
189
00:11:31.960 --> 00:11:34.960
writing together, you know, we wrote probably five or six
190
00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:39.720
songs on the first album together so that that first
191
00:11:39.799 --> 00:11:43.679
album was quite eclectic. We've got probably this including Jerome,
192
00:11:43.720 --> 00:11:46.720
there's four drummers on the first album, so I was
193
00:11:46.720 --> 00:11:49.600
pretty much it was all hired guns. You know, I
194
00:11:49.639 --> 00:11:52.440
was paying session players, which you know, like Venoms. You
195
00:11:52.480 --> 00:11:56.000
know was in my bands still thirty years ago. So
196
00:11:56.440 --> 00:11:59.559
Venom has always been there and great and been a
197
00:11:59.600 --> 00:12:02.399
big part out of the songwriting process for me. But
198
00:12:02.759 --> 00:12:04.600
now so I don't know.
199
00:12:04.639 --> 00:12:07.320
I think it's eighteen months, two years almost now with
200
00:12:07.399 --> 00:12:10.440
this lineup. So you know, Mark.
201
00:12:10.279 --> 00:12:15.840
Lcloud coming on board, and Mark has a really distinct style,
202
00:12:16.120 --> 00:12:20.240
and so that's been interesting by melding that.
203
00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:22.519
Into what we do. It's kind of the stone of
204
00:12:22.679 --> 00:12:27.840
rock and the slower bluesy rock stuff. It's really anted
205
00:12:28.000 --> 00:12:30.679
up the style.
206
00:12:30.840 --> 00:12:33.639
I think it's pushed it into Chris Parki is quite
207
00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:36.399
a metal player, as you know, has pushed it a
208
00:12:36.440 --> 00:12:39.399
little heavier, which is great life.
209
00:12:39.559 --> 00:12:41.879
But what has happened with Sir Nelson?
210
00:12:42.519 --> 00:12:46.759
Jerome Nelson's the guitarists, look by the guitarists and a
211
00:12:46.879 --> 00:12:52.000
Christian who's who's a young guy who's very creative, great musician.
212
00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:56.039
So all of us, right even Die has put forwarded
213
00:12:56.080 --> 00:12:59.000
a beautiful piece. It's kind of like, what do we
214
00:12:59.080 --> 00:12:59.960
call it crazy?
215
00:13:00.799 --> 00:13:08.600
It's the Doctor. It's system amazing, and it's a collection
216
00:13:08.679 --> 00:13:12.279
of stuff. Because I wrote the song, Nelson took it
217
00:13:12.679 --> 00:13:15.639
and like kind of produced a demo that really went
218
00:13:16.279 --> 00:13:21.519
somewhere else. It was just just yeah, it's a more
219
00:13:21.559 --> 00:13:27.440
electronic kind of bigger rock sound, and and it's amazing.
220
00:13:27.519 --> 00:13:31.519
So as we finish it and put more lyrics on
221
00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:35.159
it and figure out, you know, the storyline and all.
222
00:13:35.080 --> 00:13:36.240
The things that we write about.
223
00:13:36.480 --> 00:13:39.240
Especially recently, I've been failing for artical I mean, we
224
00:13:39.240 --> 00:13:43.320
don't do girls and cars kind of songs. You know,
225
00:13:44.159 --> 00:13:48.720
it's usually even though there's you know, the Love tribute
226
00:13:48.759 --> 00:13:52.320
song and this app but pretty much, yeah, we try
227
00:13:52.320 --> 00:13:58.240
to cheap topical turn things and and uh political stances
228
00:13:58.440 --> 00:14:00.240
because we're pretty you know.
229
00:14:02.039 --> 00:14:04.559
Venom says, I'm very pritic with the way I write.
230
00:14:05.440 --> 00:14:09.360
So I don't know, I think it's a personal journey
231
00:14:09.399 --> 00:14:14.039
if I'm really arked up about something and help.
232
00:14:14.960 --> 00:14:17.720
But so we're pushing in that sense, like.
233
00:14:19.279 --> 00:14:22.639
It's just so cool to be able to have to
234
00:14:22.720 --> 00:14:28.000
get together with a really amazingly talented and creative group
235
00:14:28.159 --> 00:14:32.360
of people who in their own rights all write music
236
00:14:32.559 --> 00:14:37.240
and have their own individual styles, so and every you know,
237
00:14:37.320 --> 00:14:42.879
it's such are quite you know, everybody works really well
238
00:14:42.919 --> 00:14:46.000
together of diplomatic in that sense, as as a band
239
00:14:46.039 --> 00:14:50.279
songwriting together, everybody's heard, everybody gets to put in. And
240
00:14:50.679 --> 00:14:54.240
I think that became really evident with on the EP
241
00:14:55.960 --> 00:14:59.320
Let the Enemy Go, as a song that we all
242
00:14:59.519 --> 00:15:01.720
arraigned and constructed together.
243
00:15:02.039 --> 00:15:06.440
Christian had come up with the riff. And the funny thing.
244
00:15:06.440 --> 00:15:10.159
Was we were jamming with Christian, Jerome and I down
245
00:15:10.200 --> 00:15:11.120
at the Frankstin House.
246
00:15:11.159 --> 00:15:14.759
We had a little studio and this little.
247
00:15:14.759 --> 00:15:17.519
Like rift came up, and amongst a lot of other
248
00:15:17.559 --> 00:15:20.320
things we were working on, we record everything.
249
00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:23.480
We listened back to that and said this was cool rift.
250
00:15:23.919 --> 00:15:27.000
Let's work on it, and so Jerome and I worked
251
00:15:27.039 --> 00:15:28.279
on it, came up with the song.
252
00:15:28.360 --> 00:15:33.360
The lyrics flew pretty easily, and then we you.
253
00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:36.639
Know, said to Christian, oh, we've written something from that idea.
254
00:15:36.879 --> 00:15:39.559
And then he said, oh he listened to it. He goes, oh,
255
00:15:39.720 --> 00:15:40.679
he goes, it's close.
256
00:15:40.840 --> 00:15:44.200
He goes, I've already recorded that, like that's actually his song,
257
00:15:44.799 --> 00:15:46.679
and so we were like, oh wow.
258
00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:52.000
So you know, that was really interesting because he didn't
259
00:15:52.039 --> 00:15:52.600
say anything.
260
00:15:52.799 --> 00:15:55.399
And so when we listened to the original recording that
261
00:15:55.480 --> 00:15:58.159
he did with it's like when he's sixteen, I mean
262
00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:02.559
what he was when he was school towards bringing out yeah,
263
00:16:02.720 --> 00:16:05.360
and and it was like, oh wow, we heard this.
264
00:16:05.399 --> 00:16:09.840
Song was really cool. So Jerome was like, okay, we
265
00:16:09.960 --> 00:16:11.120
might yeah, we might go.
266
00:16:11.159 --> 00:16:11.559
With all this.
267
00:16:14.000 --> 00:16:16.759
Yeah, so that.
268
00:16:16.919 --> 00:16:20.519
This guy and so that then you know, it was
269
00:16:20.559 --> 00:16:23.120
never really arranged. There was only a really basic like
270
00:16:23.360 --> 00:16:25.480
full of sketches. You know, you just have a concept.
271
00:16:25.519 --> 00:16:27.639
You might have a first of chorus.
272
00:16:28.720 --> 00:16:32.679
Most of the songs when when guys put things forward don't.
273
00:16:32.480 --> 00:16:36.360
Really have a bridge. Jerome is the is the king bridges.
274
00:16:36.519 --> 00:16:45.840
He's really good at writing singling. So it's yeah, so
275
00:16:45.919 --> 00:16:50.080
we're pushing it in that sense, and I think, you know,
276
00:16:51.399 --> 00:16:54.879
I love Nelson's sound, like he's one of those guitarists
277
00:16:54.879 --> 00:16:59.840
that has a signature sound. And we're sort of decided
278
00:16:59.879 --> 00:17:03.279
that we would go that's almost like southern kind of
279
00:17:03.799 --> 00:17:05.960
blues rocks style, and he's.
280
00:17:05.839 --> 00:17:08.279
Sort of come up with view the track.
281
00:17:08.400 --> 00:17:13.000
So yeah, it's it's a very interesting process and we're
282
00:17:13.039 --> 00:17:14.880
not like, oh no, it's gott to sound.
283
00:17:14.920 --> 00:17:21.960
This is business, this is the this is the sun,
284
00:17:22.599 --> 00:17:24.440
you know what we feel?
285
00:17:24.720 --> 00:17:28.480
Yeah, wherever the you know, the inspiration.
286
00:17:28.119 --> 00:17:31.480
Comes from influenced. But well the.
287
00:17:32.960 --> 00:17:37.680
Music for the past fifty sixty years probably more like e.
288
00:17:38.160 --> 00:17:41.440
It's because we listen to all stuff, you know. I mean,
289
00:17:41.480 --> 00:17:46.759
I come from a like gospel jazz kind of background
290
00:17:46.759 --> 00:17:50.759
because my dad dad musician, and so I don't this
291
00:17:50.960 --> 00:17:52.960
is a lot of that as a trial. But the
292
00:17:53.440 --> 00:17:57.039
Christian has just come out of university. But he's got
293
00:17:57.440 --> 00:18:03.599
all these other grads, but he's as well, so he's
294
00:18:03.680 --> 00:18:09.119
got a huge whichever standards and big band stuff, and
295
00:18:09.200 --> 00:18:12.319
so it's it's wild to see that that.
296
00:18:12.400 --> 00:18:13.440
Pool of influence.
297
00:18:14.160 --> 00:18:19.960
Nelson is another His dad is a music teacher, a pianist,
298
00:18:20.240 --> 00:18:24.680
piano teacher, and uh but he's like he just loves
299
00:18:24.720 --> 00:18:28.359
the Beatles and loves that kind of sensibility with vice
300
00:18:28.519 --> 00:18:32.200
arms and but the tricky chords, and so we take
301
00:18:32.279 --> 00:18:34.759
all that we try to and then.
302
00:18:36.200 --> 00:18:36.559
And then.
303
00:18:38.920 --> 00:18:39.119
Fool.
304
00:18:39.480 --> 00:18:43.119
She's comes from that, you know, that seventies sort of fun.
305
00:18:43.599 --> 00:18:49.599
But she she loves, she loves you know. So it's
306
00:18:49.680 --> 00:18:55.079
like and she's a teacher. She's a teacher, so you
307
00:18:55.119 --> 00:18:57.640
know what I mean, It's like it's it's as.
308
00:18:59.480 --> 00:19:06.200
Exactly. It's pretty and we want everybody, you know, kind
309
00:19:06.200 --> 00:19:06.960
of equal share.
310
00:19:07.599 --> 00:19:11.680
That's what we've come so getting all that and getting
311
00:19:12.119 --> 00:19:17.960
having format really and that's still as a I guess
312
00:19:18.000 --> 00:19:19.960
a modern edge to it.
313
00:19:20.400 --> 00:19:24.119
Classic yeah, class. So it's fun.
314
00:19:24.160 --> 00:19:28.119
It's fun though for me, it's just I'm just loving
315
00:19:28.200 --> 00:19:31.480
having an actual band, you know, like a serious line up.
316
00:19:31.559 --> 00:19:34.400
Everyone's really getting one's into it and it's a beautiful
317
00:19:34.440 --> 00:19:35.799
thing to have.
318
00:19:36.119 --> 00:19:37.640
I feel very blessed.
319
00:19:37.960 --> 00:19:38.519
Very cool.
320
00:19:39.160 --> 00:19:41.640
Now, just say someone's going along to Mitchell Preak and
321
00:19:41.680 --> 00:19:45.119
they haven't heard of her, give us three of your
322
00:19:45.160 --> 00:19:47.519
songs that they can listen to you get engaged on
323
00:19:47.559 --> 00:19:49.319

324
00:19:50.799 --> 00:19:58.480
Yeah, great, you.
325
00:19:58.440 --> 00:20:06.559
Know we stylistically, I don't know, I like it, said jee,
326
00:20:07.039 --> 00:20:07.519
it's like.
327
00:20:07.640 --> 00:20:09.319
Such a Jesus One.
328
00:20:09.200 --> 00:20:12.359
Song that kind of a roll the influenced. You know.
329
00:20:12.559 --> 00:20:15.359
There's there's all the great things, which is.
330
00:20:15.640 --> 00:20:20.519
Not that we're not Jimmy Heart, but.
331
00:20:20.440 --> 00:20:25.599
That's listen, that's the song of writing in spite of
332
00:20:25.599 --> 00:20:26.000
our soul.
333
00:20:26.079 --> 00:20:31.039
Yeah, but it has and then but then there's there's
334
00:20:31.160 --> 00:20:38.160
the truth, which is pretty I don't know, it's describe.
335
00:20:38.359 --> 00:20:42.359
My favorite song is Let the Enemy Go. That's my
336
00:20:42.440 --> 00:20:43.720
favorite song. I love it.
337
00:20:43.720 --> 00:20:46.839
It's a it's a rock, it's a classic kind of
338
00:20:46.920 --> 00:20:49.559
rock pop. It has a pop out into it.

there for three days. It's going to be hay though,
8
00:00:53.079 --> 00:00:56.159
because we are the last band, which is unfortunate for us.
9
00:00:58.039 --> 00:01:01.759
Have you really cute to be three days of camping?
10
00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:06.439
The facilities are apparently amazing, there's one hundred and twenty apps,
11
00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:10.719
so we're pretty exciting. The bands flying up for Melbourne,
12
00:01:11.719 --> 00:01:16.959
we're flying down from camps. So yeah, that's what's happening.
13
00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:18.719
That's in a couple of weeks.
14
00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:21.120
Beautiful guys. Thanks for joining us this evening.

closing the thirteenth Mitchell Creek Rock and Blues Festival the
17
00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:34.239
Sunshine Coast Hinderland from September thirteen to fifteenth. Like you
18
00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:36.079
say it, it sort of doesn't really sink in, but if
19
00:01:36.120 --> 00:01:38.519
you think about it, guys, that's a massive achievement. Like
20
00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:41.879
you're closing the Mitchell Creek Rock and Blues Festival and
21
00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:44.640
that's good achievement, well done.
22
00:01:44.760 --> 00:01:49.159
I know, it just came out of the blue light. Seriously,
23
00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:51.760
I was contemplating, like, where are we going? What are
24
00:01:51.760 --> 00:01:54.040
we doing with this band? What's going on?
25
00:01:54.120 --> 00:01:54.319
You know?
26
00:01:54.959 --> 00:01:57.640
Is it such you know, it's such hard work as.
27
00:01:57.480 --> 00:02:01.480
You know, the band going in and I was I
28
00:02:01.519 --> 00:02:03.599
was really like having a bit of the down.
29
00:02:03.799 --> 00:02:05.799
I said, I don't even know who you're going to
30
00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:08.759
keep this band going, you know. And then the phone rang.
31
00:02:08.879 --> 00:02:12.240
It was Jimmy and he said, hey, how do light
32
00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:16.840
to come up play festival ORB Nights And I was like, wow, okay,
33
00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:22.000
what's this all about? And yeah, so it was just
34
00:02:22.120 --> 00:02:25.199
out of the blue totally. The Bloody said they've been
35
00:02:25.199 --> 00:02:29.319
following us for a while and he was drawn to
36
00:02:29.479 --> 00:02:30.800
our single The Truth.
37
00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:31.879
He really loved that.
38
00:02:31.919 --> 00:02:36.039
It's suit of a classic rock kind of single. So yeah,
39
00:02:36.280 --> 00:02:38.159
that's that's basically how it happened.
40
00:02:38.719 --> 00:02:41.039
Nice and the first of U's got one hundred and
41
00:02:41.080 --> 00:02:44.400

43
00:02:47.439 --> 00:02:50.400

44
00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:52.120
Well.

M Yeah, and there's a few there's a few.
50
00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:22.360
Bands dotted through the three days that you definitely want
51
00:03:22.360 --> 00:03:25.960
to on a catch where we're going to be probably
52
00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:31.639
spending on the Saturday rebursing into studio the property, so
53
00:03:32.439 --> 00:03:37.080
you might miss you there. But yeah, we're so just
54
00:03:37.199 --> 00:03:45.639
even just seeing it's such great, great guys. Yeah, yeah,
55
00:03:46.199 --> 00:03:48.520
I've got I've got girlfriends you know that I've known
56
00:03:48.639 --> 00:03:52.000
since your high school that have got tickets that are
57
00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:54.960
coming and that live around that area.
58
00:03:55.400 --> 00:03:58.800
So there's about three groups that are coming. So it's
59
00:03:58.840 --> 00:03:59.240
going to be.
60
00:03:59.400 --> 00:03:59.919
It's going to be.
61
00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:02.400
It's gonna be.
62
00:04:04.960 --> 00:04:06.560
We've had a little bit of a joke about this,
63
00:04:06.680 --> 00:04:08.560
but it's it's a serious thing.
64
00:04:08.639 --> 00:04:10.159
Like you're gonna be there for three days.
65
00:04:10.159 --> 00:04:12.879
There's one hundred and twenty bands, three days of partying.
66
00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:14.439
Have you got a battle plan?
67
00:04:14.520 --> 00:04:16.079
How you're going to pace yourself yet or are you
68
00:04:16.199 --> 00:04:20.120
just gonna got the cheats?
69
00:04:27.439 --> 00:04:29.480
We're pretty season.
70
00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:35.120
Roles, you know, We're just we just keep for me
71
00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:38.959
as it's trying not to talk too much as you.
72
00:04:39.240 --> 00:04:41.920
Probably trying to get caught up in the emotion of it.
73
00:04:41.959 --> 00:04:51.000
I guess, yes, yeah, what happened before though, Like you
74
00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:52.759
guys will be trying to be quiet because you don't
75
00:04:52.759 --> 00:04:55.120
want to recognoice. People will be trying to talk to you.
76
00:04:55.160 --> 00:04:57.319
They'll be thinking you're rude because you're not talking back
77
00:04:57.360 --> 00:04:59.800
to them. They'll get the you'll get the ships in
78
00:04:59.839 --> 00:05:01.480
there you're yell at them, then all of a sudden,
79
00:05:01.480 --> 00:05:02.519
banging your voices playing.
80
00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:08.759
It's really is going to be challenged, especially while we're talking.
81
00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:12.600
You know, there's street of my best girl friends that
82
00:05:12.759 --> 00:05:20.439
are coming. You know that part, you know, So I'll
83
00:05:20.439 --> 00:05:23.480
behave myself. I we'll just paint it.
84
00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:32.399
Yeah, it'll be fine now looking through the light up,
85
00:05:32.439 --> 00:05:32.800
I reckon.
86
00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:35.000
Aside from the radiators, you guys are pretty much going
87
00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:37.759
to be the hardest and heaviest span over the three
88
00:05:37.839 --> 00:05:40.720
days made. So did you think have you thought about yet? Like,
89
00:05:41.079 --> 00:05:42.639
do you reckon the crowd will be hard to win
90
00:05:42.680 --> 00:05:44.959
over or do you reckon it'll sort of they'll be
91
00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:46.000
looking for something different.
92
00:05:47.319 --> 00:05:50.959
Oh, look, I reckon, it's you know, being three days,
93
00:05:51.399 --> 00:05:54.040
there's a lot of there's yeah, a lot of different clues.
94
00:05:54.120 --> 00:05:56.759
There's some focused soul, there's there's a bit of rock,
95
00:05:57.839 --> 00:05:59.839
but we're definitely forecial.
96
00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:02.079
And I said to Jimmy.
97
00:06:01.920 --> 00:06:04.959
Look, man, you know we've got some soul songs, we've
98
00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:08.079
got some more sort of funky stuff, like do you
99
00:06:08.120 --> 00:06:10.319
want us to to kind of play.
100
00:06:10.199 --> 00:06:13.920
Down a bit? And he said no, he said, the
101
00:06:13.959 --> 00:06:15.839
heart of the better mish go hard.
102
00:06:16.040 --> 00:06:25.160
So all right, so we pulled out all of our seriously,
103
00:06:25.519 --> 00:06:28.120
you know how there's a couple of classic rock songs
104
00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:31.120
in there, but most of the hardest stuff. So I
105
00:06:31.240 --> 00:06:33.959
usually sort of try and do our sets so that
106
00:06:34.199 --> 00:06:36.439
you know, there's a bit of a light and shade
107
00:06:36.519 --> 00:06:39.680
and a bit of a crescendo. But this is going
108
00:06:39.759 --> 00:06:42.639
to be in your face. Yeah, We're just we're just
109
00:06:42.680 --> 00:06:50.120
going to go for it. Yeah, it's it's a huge rift.
110
00:06:50.399 --> 00:06:53.879
Nelson Young's in a way there, so yeah, it's gonna
111
00:06:53.920 --> 00:06:54.639
it's going to be in.
112
00:06:54.600 --> 00:06:57.759
Their face, that's sure. I hope we've been the O.
113
00:06:58.199 --> 00:07:01.160
I think you know we've done I don't know most
114
00:07:01.160 --> 00:07:04.079
of the songs we've played, you know, yeah, done a
115
00:07:04.079 --> 00:07:05.120
lot of shows these.
116
00:07:05.079 --> 00:07:10.199
Songs people, you know, and I played in middle school.
117
00:07:13.000 --> 00:07:15.839
And it's all blues based, it's all soul based, and
118
00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:17.680
it's all you know, classic rock.
119
00:07:17.759 --> 00:07:21.959
So it really fits. As far as the other content playing,
120
00:07:22.600 --> 00:07:25.240
it's along the day line. It's just.
121
00:07:27.319 --> 00:07:32.560
Maybe a little bitter, you know.
122
00:07:32.839 --> 00:07:37.240
Yeah, so yeah, we definitely definitely had that conversation. But
123
00:07:37.480 --> 00:07:40.920
like we've had We've had the Grand Flag, Grand Light,
124
00:07:41.199 --> 00:07:44.199
and yeah, we're just going to go for it. And
125
00:07:44.319 --> 00:07:47.800
I think being the last band, you know, it will
126
00:07:47.839 --> 00:07:50.439
be it will be a party that the ones that
127
00:07:50.920 --> 00:07:54.319
stays to the end, you know that that would be
128
00:07:54.319 --> 00:07:58.319
the hard there anyway, So all the kids will be bad.
129
00:07:58.439 --> 00:08:09.079
I'm pretty sure I should be anyway. You guys recently
130
00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:12.519
released your latest EP, toe Tag as well, So how's.
131
00:08:12.319 --> 00:08:13.839
The how's the only response been for that?
132
00:08:15.399 --> 00:08:16.399
Yeah? Really good.
133
00:08:17.399 --> 00:08:20.480
I probably need to do more work, you know. It's
134
00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:24.560
it's a constant. We're pretty organic, you know. I only
135
00:08:25.040 --> 00:08:28.879
really sort of gotten onto this streaming in the last
136
00:08:28.879 --> 00:08:32.519
couple of years. Our first album was a CD. We
137
00:08:32.679 --> 00:08:36.480
sold five hundred copies hard copies of that. I think
138
00:08:36.519 --> 00:08:40.440
I've got ten left for this festival, and so I
139
00:08:40.559 --> 00:08:43.639
was pretty anti streaming to be honest.
140
00:08:43.799 --> 00:08:45.279
I'm a bit old school that's.
141
00:08:45.080 --> 00:08:50.000
So it's definitely something that we need to look further into.
142
00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:51.399
There's no escaping it.
143
00:08:52.159 --> 00:08:56.879
Unfortunately, just got to give life's work away.
144
00:08:58.120 --> 00:09:05.240
So you know, office company that kind of infrastructed buying.
145
00:09:05.399 --> 00:09:12.039
So we're doing it, and you know it's a lot.
146
00:09:12.360 --> 00:09:15.120
But you know what, every radio station that I've had
147
00:09:15.159 --> 00:09:20.080
time to approach and send to, they've all played it.
148
00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:23.879
So you know, we do get a lot of support,
149
00:09:24.519 --> 00:09:29.639
community radio support. It's just that constant job, you know,
150
00:09:30.559 --> 00:09:34.159
great to have. Yeah, it just got to keep at
151
00:09:34.200 --> 00:09:34.919
it constantly.
152
00:09:34.960 --> 00:09:37.720
But yeah, look it's it's going all right. It's organic.
153
00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:41.399
And you know, we had eighty streams the other day
154
00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:45.159
and I think, well that's okay considering I don't advertise,
155
00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:48.519
I don't do the the boosts or whatever that is.
156
00:09:48.600 --> 00:09:50.679
You know. So, yeah, it.
157
00:09:50.759 --> 00:09:53.720
Sounds so much like me. It sounds so much like me.
158
00:09:53.840 --> 00:10:02.360
It's like I had no fucking idea yea out with
159
00:10:02.399 --> 00:10:04.440
the posters and the glue, like putting the posters on
160
00:10:04.480 --> 00:10:07.679
the telegraph.
161
00:10:08.840 --> 00:10:09.320
You know what.
162
00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:13.799
Honestly, I believe that still works in a scene and
163
00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:17.440
the white noise and the constant ship that's on your
164
00:10:17.480 --> 00:10:20.360
screen if you go on to your regular and walking
165
00:10:20.399 --> 00:10:23.039
around Chapel Street or runs it through whatever, and you.
166
00:10:23.039 --> 00:10:26.879
See the poster every day. I think it's does into
167
00:10:27.000 --> 00:10:28.679
the subconscious on some level.
168
00:10:29.600 --> 00:10:33.240
And that's apparently takes six times in the old scale
169
00:10:33.279 --> 00:10:39.480
of marketing before someone acknowledges your brand. So I think
170
00:10:39.559 --> 00:10:43.600
having those pies and that's really important, I really do,
171
00:10:44.679 --> 00:10:46.919
and I always do that with all of our shows
172
00:10:47.240 --> 00:10:49.279
when we're from I always do posters.
173
00:10:49.879 --> 00:10:50.120
Yeah.
174
00:10:50.879 --> 00:10:53.440
Cool, I've readden through your pressure these guys.
175
00:10:53.480 --> 00:10:56.919
It says that you're continually pushing the boundaries of your
176
00:10:57.000 --> 00:10:58.120
musical expression.
177
00:10:58.279 --> 00:11:00.399
Like it sounds great, but what is it you mean,
178
00:11:00.399 --> 00:11:02.759
can you elaborate on that? A good for us?
179
00:11:03.399 --> 00:11:06.679
Well, yeah, because it's such a it's such a process
180
00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:08.559
for me personally as a writer.
181
00:11:08.759 --> 00:11:10.440
I mean, I collaborate.
182
00:11:10.120 --> 00:11:15.240
Still with my old guitar, a Steel, So you know,
183
00:11:15.440 --> 00:11:18.200
we've we've got so much stuff on the shelf yet
184
00:11:18.240 --> 00:11:22.240
to release, so that has been interesting bringing that into
185
00:11:22.440 --> 00:11:24.360
you know, I had to went up with her together
186
00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:25.159
six years ago.
187
00:11:25.840 --> 00:11:27.519
That was kind of all the songs I had was
188
00:11:27.600 --> 00:11:31.919
my back catalog. And then when Jerome and I started
189
00:11:31.960 --> 00:11:34.960
writing together, you know, we wrote probably five or six
190
00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:39.720
songs on the first album together so that that first
191
00:11:39.799 --> 00:11:43.679
album was quite eclectic. We've got probably this including Jerome,
192
00:11:43.720 --> 00:11:46.720
there's four drummers on the first album, so I was
193
00:11:46.720 --> 00:11:49.600
pretty much it was all hired guns. You know, I
194
00:11:49.639 --> 00:11:52.440
was paying session players, which you know, like Venoms. You
195
00:11:52.480 --> 00:11:56.000
know was in my bands still thirty years ago. So
196
00:11:56.440 --> 00:11:59.559
Venom has always been there and great and been a
197
00:11:59.600 --> 00:12:02.399
big part out of the songwriting process for me. But
198
00:12:02.759 --> 00:12:04.600
now so I don't know.
199
00:12:04.639 --> 00:12:07.320
I think it's eighteen months, two years almost now with
200
00:12:07.399 --> 00:12:10.440
this lineup. So you know, Mark.
201
00:12:10.279 --> 00:12:15.840
Lcloud coming on board, and Mark has a really distinct style,
202
00:12:16.120 --> 00:12:20.240
and so that's been interesting by melding that.
203
00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:22.519
Into what we do. It's kind of the stone of
204
00:12:22.679 --> 00:12:27.840
rock and the slower bluesy rock stuff. It's really anted
205
00:12:28.000 --> 00:12:30.679
up the style.
206
00:12:30.840 --> 00:12:33.639
I think it's pushed it into Chris Parki is quite
207
00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:36.399
a metal player, as you know, has pushed it a
208
00:12:36.440 --> 00:12:39.399
little heavier, which is great life.
209
00:12:39.559 --> 00:12:41.879
But what has happened with Sir Nelson?
210
00:12:42.519 --> 00:12:46.759
Jerome Nelson's the guitarists, look by the guitarists and a
211
00:12:46.879 --> 00:12:52.000
Christian who's who's a young guy who's very creative, great musician.
212
00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:56.039
So all of us, right even Die has put forwarded
213
00:12:56.080 --> 00:12:59.000
a beautiful piece. It's kind of like, what do we
214
00:12:59.080 --> 00:12:59.960
call it crazy?
215
00:13:00.799 --> 00:13:08.600
It's the Doctor. It's system amazing, and it's a collection
216
00:13:08.679 --> 00:13:12.279
of stuff. Because I wrote the song, Nelson took it
217
00:13:12.679 --> 00:13:15.639
and like kind of produced a demo that really went
218
00:13:16.279 --> 00:13:21.519
somewhere else. It was just just yeah, it's a more
219
00:13:21.559 --> 00:13:27.440
electronic kind of bigger rock sound, and and it's amazing.
220
00:13:27.519 --> 00:13:31.519
So as we finish it and put more lyrics on
221
00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:35.159
it and figure out, you know, the storyline and all.
222
00:13:35.080 --> 00:13:36.240
The things that we write about.
223
00:13:36.480 --> 00:13:39.240
Especially recently, I've been failing for artical I mean, we
224
00:13:39.240 --> 00:13:43.320
don't do girls and cars kind of songs. You know,
225
00:13:44.159 --> 00:13:48.720
it's usually even though there's you know, the Love tribute
226
00:13:48.759 --> 00:13:52.320
song and this app but pretty much, yeah, we try
227
00:13:52.320 --> 00:13:58.240
to cheap topical turn things and and uh political stances
228
00:13:58.440 --> 00:14:00.240
because we're pretty you know.
229
00:14:02.039 --> 00:14:04.559
Venom says, I'm very pritic with the way I write.
230
00:14:05.440 --> 00:14:09.360
So I don't know, I think it's a personal journey
231
00:14:09.399 --> 00:14:14.039
if I'm really arked up about something and help.
232
00:14:14.960 --> 00:14:17.720
But so we're pushing in that sense, like.
233
00:14:19.279 --> 00:14:22.639
It's just so cool to be able to have to
234
00:14:22.720 --> 00:14:28.000
get together with a really amazingly talented and creative group
235
00:14:28.159 --> 00:14:32.360
of people who in their own rights all write music
236
00:14:32.559 --> 00:14:37.240
and have their own individual styles, so and every you know,
237
00:14:37.320 --> 00:14:42.879
it's such are quite you know, everybody works really well
238
00:14:42.919 --> 00:14:46.000
together of diplomatic in that sense, as as a band
239
00:14:46.039 --> 00:14:50.279
songwriting together, everybody's heard, everybody gets to put in. And
240
00:14:50.679 --> 00:14:54.240
I think that became really evident with on the EP
241
00:14:55.960 --> 00:14:59.320
Let the Enemy Go, as a song that we all
242
00:14:59.519 --> 00:15:01.720
arraigned and constructed together.
243
00:15:02.039 --> 00:15:06.440
Christian had come up with the riff. And the funny thing.
244
00:15:06.440 --> 00:15:10.159
Was we were jamming with Christian, Jerome and I down
245
00:15:10.200 --> 00:15:11.120
at the Frankstin House.
246
00:15:11.159 --> 00:15:14.759
We had a little studio and this little.
247
00:15:14.759 --> 00:15:17.519
Like rift came up, and amongst a lot of other
248
00:15:17.559 --> 00:15:20.320
things we were working on, we record everything.
249
00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:23.480
We listened back to that and said this was cool rift.
250
00:15:23.919 --> 00:15:27.000
Let's work on it, and so Jerome and I worked
251
00:15:27.039 --> 00:15:28.279
on it, came up with the song.
252
00:15:28.360 --> 00:15:33.360
The lyrics flew pretty easily, and then we you.
253
00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:36.639
Know, said to Christian, oh, we've written something from that idea.
254
00:15:36.879 --> 00:15:39.559
And then he said, oh he listened to it. He goes, oh,
255
00:15:39.720 --> 00:15:40.679
he goes, it's close.
256
00:15:40.840 --> 00:15:44.200
He goes, I've already recorded that, like that's actually his song,
257
00:15:44.799 --> 00:15:46.679
and so we were like, oh wow.
258
00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:52.000
So you know, that was really interesting because he didn't
259
00:15:52.039 --> 00:15:52.600
say anything.
260
00:15:52.799 --> 00:15:55.399
And so when we listened to the original recording that
261
00:15:55.480 --> 00:15:58.159
he did with it's like when he's sixteen, I mean
262
00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:02.559
what he was when he was school towards bringing out yeah,
263
00:16:02.720 --> 00:16:05.360
and and it was like, oh wow, we heard this.
264
00:16:05.399 --> 00:16:09.840
Song was really cool. So Jerome was like, okay, we
265
00:16:09.960 --> 00:16:11.120
might yeah, we might go.
266
00:16:11.159 --> 00:16:11.559
With all this.
267
00:16:14.000 --> 00:16:16.759
Yeah, so that.
268
00:16:16.919 --> 00:16:20.519
This guy and so that then you know, it was
269
00:16:20.559 --> 00:16:23.120
never really arranged. There was only a really basic like
270
00:16:23.360 --> 00:16:25.480
full of sketches. You know, you just have a concept.
271
00:16:25.519 --> 00:16:27.639
You might have a first of chorus.
272
00:16:28.720 --> 00:16:32.679
Most of the songs when when guys put things forward don't.
273
00:16:32.480 --> 00:16:36.360
Really have a bridge. Jerome is the is the king bridges.
274
00:16:36.519 --> 00:16:45.840
He's really good at writing singling. So it's yeah, so
275
00:16:45.919 --> 00:16:50.080
we're pushing it in that sense, and I think, you know,
276
00:16:51.399 --> 00:16:54.879
I love Nelson's sound, like he's one of those guitarists
277
00:16:54.879 --> 00:16:59.840
that has a signature sound. And we're sort of decided
278
00:16:59.879 --> 00:17:03.279
that we would go that's almost like southern kind of
279
00:17:03.799 --> 00:17:05.960
blues rocks style, and he's.
280
00:17:05.839 --> 00:17:08.279
Sort of come up with view the track.
281
00:17:08.400 --> 00:17:13.000
So yeah, it's it's a very interesting process and we're
282
00:17:13.039 --> 00:17:14.880
not like, oh no, it's gott to sound.
283
00:17:14.920 --> 00:17:21.960
This is business, this is the this is the sun,
284
00:17:22.599 --> 00:17:24.440
you know what we feel?
285
00:17:24.720 --> 00:17:28.480
Yeah, wherever the you know, the inspiration.
286
00:17:28.119 --> 00:17:31.480
Comes from influenced. But well the.
287
00:17:32.960 --> 00:17:37.680
Music for the past fifty sixty years probably more like e.
288
00:17:38.160 --> 00:17:41.440
It's because we listen to all stuff, you know. I mean,
289
00:17:41.480 --> 00:17:46.759
I come from a like gospel jazz kind of background
290
00:17:46.759 --> 00:17:50.759
because my dad dad musician, and so I don't this
291
00:17:50.960 --> 00:17:52.960
is a lot of that as a trial. But the
292
00:17:53.440 --> 00:17:57.039
Christian has just come out of university. But he's got
293
00:17:57.440 --> 00:18:03.599
all these other grads, but he's as well, so he's
294
00:18:03.680 --> 00:18:09.119
got a huge whichever standards and big band stuff, and
295
00:18:09.200 --> 00:18:12.319
so it's it's wild to see that that.
296
00:18:12.400 --> 00:18:13.440
Pool of influence.
297
00:18:14.160 --> 00:18:19.960
Nelson is another His dad is a music teacher, a pianist,
298
00:18:20.240 --> 00:18:24.680
piano teacher, and uh but he's like he just loves
299
00:18:24.720 --> 00:18:28.359
the Beatles and loves that kind of sensibility with vice
300
00:18:28.519 --> 00:18:32.200
arms and but the tricky chords, and so we take
301
00:18:32.279 --> 00:18:34.759
all that we try to and then.
302
00:18:36.200 --> 00:18:36.559

That's what we've come so getting all that and getting
311
00:19:12.119 --> 00:19:17.960
having format really and that's still as a I guess
312
00:19:18.000 --> 00:19:19.960
a modern edge to it.
