  Speaker 3: I guess you've sieved a long period of time. Bright,
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: But what's changed you with Diane Fetus since last time

• 1:29
  Speaker 2: You?
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: Then? Wow? A couple albums?
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: H I mean we've been doing you know, we've been
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: super busy recently, so you know, we're definitely ready to
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: come and play shows.
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: But uh, yeah, it's been I mean it's been twelve years. Different,
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: I guess right.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, everyone old, Yeah, look out to day Bry.
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: There you go.
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: What what delightful traits that you got in store for
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: Australian fans.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: In definitely mixing it up the setlist, trying to make
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: sure we hit like something from all across you know,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: the albums or whatever. You know, we got a new
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: song out into the Cesspool, we'll definitely play that and
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: then try to get it, you know, sprightly across the albums.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Definitely trying to you know, have everything in there. Hopefully so.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: So yeah, especially since it's been so long, you know,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: we don't want to just play all new stuff or anything.
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: Right, That's good.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: That's actually one thing you've got in your favorite And
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: there's a lot of bands come out of you now
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: every twelve to eighteen months, and you actually find that
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: their fans are reluctant to go to their shows because
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: they're like, well, how are they going to be any different?
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: They haven't a new album come out, so how's it
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: going to mean to you?
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: Guys? They probably don't even remember what you look like.
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, we introduce ourselves.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: Well, yeah, you're gonna be bringing over two hundred scaboyings
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: with you made and I've got to ask, like, it's
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: part of the reason you're bringing them because are the
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: only other band you can find with the name almost
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: as expensive as yours.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: No, it should be good though. We tour with them
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: over in the States, so we know it should be good.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Definitely a good show with them, cool guys.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the brutal as fuck, But so I guess it'll
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: be like it'd be could having someone else similar to
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: that on the lineup, because you'd see their set and
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: you'd be like They're.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Not fucking beating me tonight. I'm not going to give you.
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: Right there you go.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: So this is going to be their first time touring
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: in Australia, So are you going to guide them through that?
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: And what about things like spiders and drop bands and
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: all the dangeroushit ere or is it more fun just
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: sitting back and watching to come.
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's more fun to let them experience it.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: That's one thing about Australia though, that it looks a
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: lot like the States, like more than any other place
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: in the world. Yeah, Like we're walking down the street,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: stores to wait houses, look everything.
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: It looks really similar to the States, except the people.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: It's only different.
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: You turk poster for this run, that's from the best
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: I've seen made.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: Like it's got a pissed off kangaroo blow in the
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: back of someone's head off from close range. It's that
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: violent in a cartoon sort of kind of way that
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: you can almost picture the kangaroo curb stomp and the
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: blake straight haf he's finished the job, Like, who's brilliant?
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: But twisted mind? Did that come from?
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: That? Was our manager actually, Derek?
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we have a shirt, we have a subjected to
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: a beating shirt where it's the curb stomp thing and
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: we do, you know, then we change them to the
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: kangaroo or whatever.
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: That was his idea.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: Though it's catchy. Oh you look at it, it's just like,
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: I'm going to hell for liking this. But fuck it's.
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: That's great.
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: But you guys to know, like the most pitch that
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: Dane Feeder show is probably amongst some of the most
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: gracious in the world.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: But what did it look like from stage?
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: Made I ever start your playing, you look up at
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: the crowd, you just go, fuck, I hope no one
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: gets fucked up out there today.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's always different. You never no, you know, like
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: uh usually that's like big festivals or whatever. That's when
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: you see they're like, oh ship, yeah, it's might get
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: hurt out there. Usually people get hurt when they fall
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: over the railing instead of being in the pit.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, when security starts grabbing them and dragging him and
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: they might not happen even there at the front poon
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: him and it's like that's where that's where the paint.
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: I love seeing it though. That's amazing when you're playing,
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: you know, yeah, would.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: Be man, you guys and stuff too.
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: Not really, I mean people do it on their own
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: all the time.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: We see people are saying all right, back up, back up.
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: You're like, all right, gool it looks like they're doing it.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: I've always wondered what that'll look like on stage would
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: be like when you're standing in the crowd, you know,
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: you just get the next person, you see him more
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: stuff and back. But from you guys on stay, it
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: looks like just ats just separating and just kind of
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: like it'd be insane.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it definitely looks cool when they do that. We
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: don't call for him though, trying to get them to
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: do it, but uh, a lot of clubs get mad
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: about that nowadays. I mean have signs like backstage no
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: walls or death calls and all that stuff.
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: You know, but they got a backstage so many you
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: can see him if they'd be out the front of
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: the crowd and see it, and they'd know the venue
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: saying that, But it looks like the band guy's not
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: calling him, but you've been told he's not outy.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Well, you don't want to piss the club off either,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: you know, you know you're there for the fans, but
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: the club is there for a reason, right, so you're
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: the guy to do what they one.
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you've been with Dyne Feeders for twenty five years now,
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: made up to join in two thousand and one.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: So's journey been for you personally?
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: I mean it's been a blast.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: I guess you know, still going so you know, right,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: it's wild it has been that long too.
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, when you think about it.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: Looking through stuff, right, like, it looks like it was
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: about three years after you joined, like in two thousand
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: and four, that you're actually credited with doing any sort
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: of vocals or backing vocals with the band.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: Like, is that because you hadn't sung it all before
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: you join them? Or was it more confident singing the
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: segment Indian New Environment.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: No, we had we had a you know, I never
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: did vocals before then, you know, until that moment, but
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: we had a standalone singer when we had Vince a
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: long time ago, and uh, basically like we you know,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: he was out of the band, and uh when we
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: started looking for somebody, John was just like, start doing vocals,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: see if you can do it, you know, he said,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: at least you'll be tight. He's like, le' se if
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: it sounds good, you know, I'm like, all right, go
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: and then started doing it and then I Bainley did
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: it at first, just to make sure we could keep
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: going without you know, some type of interruption with touring
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: and all that stuff and uh, and then it was like, Okay,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: this isn't bad, you know, So then I started working.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: Out, so you actually enjoyed it from the start.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: It was just weird at first because I never did
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: it before. I never even thought about it, you know.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: So I'm like, oh shit, all right, I gotta do
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: it now, I guess right. And it was easy to
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: do and play at the same time, like I had
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: that new problem, but it was just something new for me.
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and the public expectations, you're, like, before they used
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: to just sit there and watch you play bass, and
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: now all of a sudden, yeah, hands and looking up
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: at your mouth and you're like the fuck.
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: I think it surprised me, like how much air like
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: to project your voice while you're playing, you know, pushing
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: the air out Like I wasn't getting this loud.
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: I was like, why am I still quiet? You know
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: when I'm playing my bass.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: You know. Then you start figuring it out after a while.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: But yeah, it's just pushing the air out while you're
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: playing doing tays.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: It would be like knocking the window out of your
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: siles if you're not doing it properly.
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: Right, So I'm used to it now, ye years.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: You'd be mat.
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: We mentioned your most recent album, Making Death, which came
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: out a couple of years ago. So have you started
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: thinking about the next one in or are you still
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: enjoying this album cycle.
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: No, we're already you know, working on the next one.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: But uh, it's mainly a like ideas because we we
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: did the intero, the Cesspool song, so we concentrated on
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: that one song to get it done, recorded and completely finished,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: you know, and then all the rest of this stuff
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: is just a lot like ideas that we'll start doing
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: once we get home. We have another tour in Europe
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: after Australia, so once we get home from that, it's
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: going to be like writing time basically.
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, joined this one while oh yeah.
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: It's time though, Yeah it's time for a new one now.
• 9:19
