equal 38 00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:03.239 footing as far as uh, you know, it's like a 39 00:02:03.560 --> 00:02:04.920 it's like a power couple now. 40 00:02:05.959 --> 00:02:10.159 And then, Yeah, you would have played heaps and starts 41 00:02:10.199 --> 00:02:11.840 with Melancholin in the past when it used to be 42 00:02:11.879 --> 00:02:14.159 sort of regular regular Spire partners, would't you. 43 00:02:14.960 --> 00:02:17.280 Yeah, Well, we haven't done a tour with them, but 44 00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:21.599 we crossed paths on festivals and and tours you know, 45 00:02:21.919 --> 00:02:25.439 for years and years now. Yes, so we know them 46 00:02:25.479 --> 00:02:26.000 and we've. 47 00:02:25.919 --> 00:02:29.039 Now Petty Wise we're out here last for Good Things 48 00:02:29.080 --> 00:02:31.879 twenty twenty three mates, So it's a only been about 49 00:02:31.919 --> 00:02:32.479 eighty months. 50 00:02:32.479 --> 00:02:34.039 But what's changed for the band since you're out here 51 00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:34.560 last time? 52 00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:40.280 Oh? Not much really, we're just uh, I mean we've 53 00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:44.280 kind of kind of been on the same trajectory for 54 00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:48.120 for a while. You know, we we just uh for 55 00:02:48.240 --> 00:02:51.199 but we you know, for us, it's about getting out 56 00:02:51.199 --> 00:02:55.120 there and playing live and and and having like energetic 57 00:02:55.199 --> 00:02:59.719 shows and so uh, you know, there's you wouldn't want 58 00:02:59.719 --> 00:03:04.560 to change that. So not a lot's changed, you know, 59 00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:06.400 so the important stuff is still intact. 60 00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:09.719 Nice now, you mentioned before the descride is like a 61 00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:12.599 second home for you guys, and Australian fans just kind 62 00:03:12.599 --> 00:03:14.719 of seemed to get enough of Penny Wise. So why 63 00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:17.520 do you think that, like what Astralle and Yobas connect 64 00:03:17.560 --> 00:03:18.759 with your bands so much? 65 00:03:19.879 --> 00:03:23.000 I don't know. I mean, maybe it's the Maybe it's 66 00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:27.840 the surf culture. We you know, because we're from southern 67 00:03:27.879 --> 00:03:31.000 California and it's very similar, so all of all of 68 00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:36.240 Australia's on the coast mostly and uh, it's just got 69 00:03:36.240 --> 00:03:41.120 a similar vibe. It could be from some of the 70 00:03:41.599 --> 00:03:46.280 early surf videos that we're in and things like that. 71 00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:50.919 I really can't. It's a mystery to me about how, 72 00:03:51.560 --> 00:03:53.840 you know, because music is just one of those things. 73 00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:57.039 It's subjective. You can't really put your finger on it. 74 00:03:57.120 --> 00:03:59.759 Why people like this better than they like that. But 75 00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:04.039 so that's in that situation. It's like, don't look a 76 00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:06.280 gift horse in the mouth, just appreciate it. 77 00:04:07.520 --> 00:04:08.159 Gems right. 78 00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:11.680 You mentioned before too, like your high energy shows, Like 79 00:04:11.759 --> 00:04:14.639 anyone that's seen Penny Wise before knows how much you 80 00:04:14.719 --> 00:04:17.560 putting on stage. But you haven't done yourself many favors 81 00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:19.279 mate coming over this time of the year because we're 82 00:04:19.279 --> 00:04:20.279 in the middle of a heat wave. 83 00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:23.720 Like it's gonna be fucking hot up there, that's. 84 00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:26.480 What I heard. But then I was someone told me 85 00:04:27.240 --> 00:04:30.800 a help, a nice lie that they said that it's 86 00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:34.079 gonna it's gonna cool off by the time we get there. 87 00:04:34.120 --> 00:04:35.839 It's going to be in the seventies and eighties. 88 00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:38.040 Now they've idea it's only getting hotter. 89 00:04:39.560 --> 00:04:41.759 Yeah, I'm not. I'm not ready for that. I mean, 90 00:04:41.879 --> 00:04:44.759 it rained, like I said, it's been raining all day here. 91 00:04:45.439 --> 00:04:49.279 Uh and my house it's been in the fifties and sixties, 92 00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:51.639 which is I don't know what that is for you 93 00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:58.120 guys down in the seven, sixteen seventeen. Maybe I'll be wrong. 94 00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:02.360 But again in middle day. 95 00:05:03.519 --> 00:05:05.959 Yeah, so yeah, ready for that. But I'll bring my 96 00:05:06.040 --> 00:05:08.480 trunks and just cruise around in trunks and flip flops 97 00:05:08.480 --> 00:05:08.959 if I have to. 98 00:05:11.079 --> 00:05:14.279 Now, Penny I started in California back in nineteen eighty eight. Mate, Like, 99 00:05:14.360 --> 00:05:15.600 I know you didn't join the band. 100 00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:19.160 Until ninety six, but what are your personal memories of 101 00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:20.800 Penny Wise when they first came out? 102 00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:27.360 Okay, so I actually I was in the band in 103 00:05:27.439 --> 00:05:31.519 nineteen ninety two, and I did the second album with them, 104 00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:34.319 and then UH and then I was gone for a 105 00:05:34.360 --> 00:05:36.959 while and then I came back and started touring UH 106 00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:39.279 in ninety five. But I was a fan. I was 107 00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:41.720 definitely a fan of the band. I thought they were 108 00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:46.279 great before I met them, so it was really blew 109 00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:49.199 my mind when I had a chance to meet them, 110 00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:52.600 and you know, I said, the first thing I said 111 00:05:52.639 --> 00:05:54.240 to Fletcher was like, oh, I want to play bass 112 00:05:54.240 --> 00:05:55.800 in your band, Like I wanted to be in the band. 113 00:05:55.839

--> 00:05:58.879 And they weren't that big, they just had one album out. 114 00:05:58.879 --> 00:06:01.040 I didn't think there was you know, they weren't popular. 115 00:06:01.879 --> 00:06:05.480 I just loved it that just the music was. It 116 00:06:05.519 --> 00:06:07.680 was like I would listen to Pennywise and I would go, like, 117 00:06:07.759 --> 00:06:10.120 I want to I want to be in a band 118 00:06:10.199 --> 00:06:12.439 like this. I want to be this is the band, 119 00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:15.759 you know, Like I just I felt it an instant connection, 120 00:06:16.439 --> 00:06:21.319 so uh yeah, and then this way things worked out. 121 00:06:21.360 --> 00:06:24.279 It's just kind of crazy, kind of mind blowing. But 122 00:06:24.480 --> 00:06:28.519 I just I feel like everything kind of I don't know, 123 00:06:28.959 --> 00:06:32.600 just worked out. I mean, it wasn't all pretty, that's 124 00:06:32.639 --> 00:06:38.720 for sure, but it it. It's uh, I don't know. 125 00:06:38.839 --> 00:06:40.519 I don't even know what to say about it. I 126 00:06:40.879 --> 00:06:42.879 just know that I love the band and I wanted 127 00:06:42.959 --> 00:06:43.680 to be in the band. 128 00:06:45.800 --> 00:06:49.439 Now, the world changed a lot since Pennywise started, mate, 129 00:06:49.439 --> 00:06:52.759 but you guys are one of the few bands of 130 00:06:52.800 --> 00:06:55.279 true to your own musical path, Like, has it ever 131 00:06:55.319 --> 00:06:57.480 been difficult? I guess all dangerous for you as a 132 00:06:57.560 --> 00:07:00.480 band to stick to your own instead of trying to 133 00:07:00.839 --> 00:07:02.399 trying to fit in with everything else. 134 00:07:05.319 --> 00:07:08.879 Well, we wanted to. I remember I would listen to 135 00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:12.240 bands back in the day that I loved and like, 136 00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:14.959 like The Damned for instance. I love The Damned and 137 00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:18.560 then the Damned started changing a lot and they became 138 00:07:18.759 --> 00:07:23.720 like very I don't know what it was, like new 139 00:07:23.800 --> 00:07:29.160 Romantic or something. They got went goth and I was like, 140 00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:32.759 I wasn't happy about that. And there was quite a 141 00:07:32.839 --> 00:07:38.000 few bands that changed a bit too much. So penny 142 00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:40.360 Wise is always wanted to be like, this is we're 143 00:07:40.399 --> 00:07:43.279 penny Wise, this is what we do, and we've never 144 00:07:43.360 --> 00:07:48.879 wanted to like change too much, so, uh, we've always 145 00:07:48.959 --> 00:07:52.439 kind of And so I guess the danger in that 146 00:07:53.160 --> 00:07:58.720 is that people just say everything sounds the same, which, uh, 147 00:08:00.360 --> 00:08:04.360 you know, which is could you know, you can't win 148 00:08:04.439 --> 00:08:06.680 no matter what. If you change too much, people get 149 00:08:06.680 --> 00:08:09.639 pissed off. You don't change too much, then people get 150 00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:13.519 pissed off. So I don't know how dangerous it is, 151 00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:17.000 but you just always you cannot please everyone, and we 152 00:08:17.199 --> 00:08:19.759 just do it. We think it's right, and we try 153 00:08:19.800 --> 00:08:22.240 to change things a little bit but not too much 154 00:08:22.839 --> 00:08:28.000 and you know, keep it fresh. So we just do 155 00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:28.480 what we do. 156 00:08:31.839 --> 00:08:34.279 Seriously doubt this will happen, mate, but just say someone's 157 00:08:34.320 --> 00:08:37.080 going to go to the show just based on Melancholin 158 00:08:37.159 --> 00:08:37.559 being there. 159 00:08:37.600 --> 00:08:41.320 They don't know fuck all about penny Wise.
