An Introspective Look At Life & Music With ELI GREEN From LIFE PILOT · HEAVY Music Interviews

• 0:15
  Speaker 1: My name is Elo Green. I played drums for Adelaide
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: chaotic hardcore band Life Pilot, and we just released our
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: self titled album. It came out the other day and
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: it's been really cool. Everyone's been really enjoying it. It's
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: a pretty like hectic twelve tracks of sort of chaotic
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: angular metal core, but it's got some beautiful moments tucked
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: within it. We self recorded and produced the whole thing,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: which is pretty cool. And yeah, check it out, man
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: chastic here. Thanks for joining us, brother, You're welcome, mate,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: Thank you for having me.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: No worries. I love the fact that when you when
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: you say your heart, people normally hear the term hardcore
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: and they know that a technic as fuck anyway.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: But you've got to.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: Chuck chaotic hard tour in there when you talk about
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: Life Pilots, which I think is fitting.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: I think, so I mean hardcore, Like to me, hardcore
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: is that sort of two step mosh kind of band
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: and like really you know, simple, I guess, but like
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: in a good way, you know. Whereas for us, you know,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: we come from that slightly more I guess, like southern
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: like metal kind of inspired like guitar metal core kind
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: of thing, but then sort of taking it with that
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: infusion of bands like Gyllinger, Escape Plan and more math
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: core kind of bands, so you know, it's that hardcore
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: metal core kind of balance. But tucked within that is
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: some weird time signature stuff, some really angular dissonant things,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: like it's sort of meant to be a bit uncomfortable,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: but then it's also meant to have those contrasting moments
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: where things kind of open up and get pretty for
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: a while before we get back to the chaos. And certainly,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: you know, if anyone's ever seen a Life Pilot show live,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: it's chaotic is the name of the game.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: You know, as you mentioned, you you recently released your
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: self titled that debut album, Brolight.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: What going into.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: A debut album, Like, what what expectations do you have?
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: Like was the response what you thought you could get?
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: We really weren't sure because like we've taken a long
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: time to put this together, Like this whole thing started
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: before COVID and then obviously that wiped everything out for
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: a while, and you know, we had band members having
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: kids and all sorts of stuff throughout that period, so
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: you know, we weren't in any rush to just sort
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: of churn out a record like the time to you know,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: capitalize and keep momentum had long gone, you know, in
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: the pandemic, So we just wanted to make something that
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: we were really proud of, and especially that we did
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: it all ourselves. You know, we built a studio you
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: know to make this record happen. So, you know, I
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: guess what we expected as far as a response was
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: anything from crickets to what we got, which was you know,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: in the first couple of days, we ended up at
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: the top of the iTunes charts, which was the first
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: for our band, and you know that that was really
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: quite amazing. You know, we just sort of thought, wow, wow, Actually,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: after all this time, you know, it seems like there's
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: some people who care about this as much as we
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: do and you know want to support it. So that
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: was really good. That certainly put some wind in the sales.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: But you know, it's early days. Has only been out
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: for a week or so, so we're looking forward to
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: what the next couple of months, especially when we take
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: it out on the road this month at the end
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: of the month. That'll be really exciting to sort of
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: you know, get to see everyone into state and see
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: what other people have been thinking about the record. You
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: know what they like about it now.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: You release the single was Mayflower nerve and feeding an
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: illness from there. So to say someone that's all someone's
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: heard of Life Pilot and the album, Are they good
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: sonic representation of what to expect?
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah? I think so. I think we picked those songs
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: very specifically. I guess to reintroduce the band, I suppose,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: because you know, we have sort of like evolved our
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: sounds as bands do. I mean, we've been doing this
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: since twenty twelve, so you know, we've certainly maneuvered our
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: sound around a little bit. You know, it's still very
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: much in keeping with what we wanted out of the
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: band to start with, but we we certainly like chose
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: to represent you know, ourselves through those singles in a
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: way where yeah, people who hadn't heard of Life Pilot
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: could listen to it and go like, oh, this is cool,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: and then go back through our back catalog and have
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: it not be this disjointed mess. You know, there's a
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: lot of bands that sort of over the years, they
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: evolve as bands do, but they stray so far away
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: from maybe what initially brought people to them and you know,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: I think people like checking out some bands go back
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: to their back catalog and go like, WHOA is this
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: the same group of people, like what's what's going on here?
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: So it's definitely like the same like Live Pilot that
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: you know love, but definitely there's a lot more depth
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: into it. And being a longer release, you know, we
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: were able to explore some different sort of musical environments
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: and sounds and textures that I guess, you know, on
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: a shorter release maybe you don't get the opportunity to
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: do so. So but yeah, the singles are definitely a
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: very good representation of life Pilot. So further than that, my.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: Like the Pressure release says that the music should in
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: a mix of the new and old elements of each
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: prior release. So you mentioned that you were conscious of that,
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: but did you did you actually sit down and listen
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: to all of you like in the creative process, did
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: you listen to all your previous work and try to
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: make sure you stayed within those parameters.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: No, we didn't actually sit down and listen to I
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: mean perhaps perhaps just in passing, but we didn't make
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: a conscious decision to sit down and I guess analyze
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: our old work, but I suppose we've been playing it
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: for so long, I guess we know how it sounds.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: But it was definitely like there were parts of some
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: of our earlier releases that we've really liked that maybe
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: we didn't sort of build off of in a linear
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: kind of fashion throughout the following releases, like our Compass
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: split that we did with statues of band from Perth
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: or sadly no longer with us, But that was a
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: very raw and like we recorded that whole thing live
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: together in the studio, which is basically never done in
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: metalcore these days, and you know, the mix was very
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: like aggressive sounding and feedback laden and noisy and gross,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: but it was a very true representation of the band
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: and the songwriting on that you know also sort of
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: reflected that. So we definitely like all together, even though
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: some of us weren't in the band at the time,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: but the three of us who were in the band
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: at the time, we sort of we're looking back at
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: that and go like we should we should keep that
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: influence that, you know, that old style, that more noisy,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: more real style. So you know, when we were doing
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: the album production, for example, we didn't just like edit
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: absolutely everything to agree and you know, just make it
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: this mechanical thing. We kept a few things loose and
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: a little bit more organic, just to kind of have
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: a foot in that world that we had in compass
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: and definitely some of the tracks off of like a
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: release like Too Hot for Killing for example, which was
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: a little bit more I guess, had a bit more
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: depth to it, Like there were some more ballad style
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: songs I guess in there, or at least moments in
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: amongst all the chaos, and that was something that we
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: wanted to kind of build on a little bit more.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: So.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there were conversations about it, but we'd never really
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: sat down and went like, right, let's let's analyze all
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: this stuff, you know.
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: The press release also says that the album is very
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: personal for the band members. Can you elaborate on that
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: for us?
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely, Like a lot of the songs were written
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: over a very long period of time. As I mentioned,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: this album took us like at least five years to
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: kind of bring to fruition. You know, I know, I
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: wrote a lot of my sort of submissions to the
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: band during a pretty hectic time in my life where
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: you know, a long relationship was sort of blowing up,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: and I was sort of out living on my own
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: and kind of coming to terms with what my life
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: was like. And I know, for Angus, our vocalist, who
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: you know obviously writes all the lyrics, he he certainly,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: you know, touches on a lot of really personal stuff
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: and a lot of you know, similar kind of themes.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: But he's he's got a lot of like I was
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: actually reading through some of the lyrics the other day,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: and he's got a great way of twisting a phrase,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: but a lot of it's very like like powerful and
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: sort of into you know, a lot of how he
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: feels about himself and how he views himself, which is
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: something that you know, I don't think we've necessarily done
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: as much on records before, you know. I think when
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: we were younger, it was a little bit sort of
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: like us against the world. Now I suppose this record
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: is a little bit more us against us in a way,
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: as you do when you get older, you kind of
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: look inwards a bit more. There's certainly still a lot
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: of that, you know, put the middle finger up to
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: the man kind of thing that we had in the
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: early days. Definitely with the current political climate. There's a
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: few you know, choice little little phrases in there directed
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: at some of that, but you know, I think for
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: the most part, a lot of it is very reflective,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: and there's some just sort of some tender moments in
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: there too, Like I know, both Angus and I, you know,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: we lost our grandmothers who were basically, you know, both
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: mothers to us, you know, throughout the sort of this
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: whole period, So you know, there were some songs on
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: there that kind of touched on that relationship, which was
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: kind of interesting. But yeah, there's there's lots of different things,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: and I would highly encourage people to dig into the
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: lyrics on the record if you give a chance, because
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: you know, Angus is quite a quite a clever wordsmith,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: and I don't think he gets quite enough quite enough
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: credit for that, to be honest, because most times metalcore
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: bands are just screaming about the ocean and stuff. So,
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: you know, this is true.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: I've always wanted to know this, Bray, but I've never
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: thought to ask a band this before. But the fact
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: that there was so much personal stuff on this one
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: was a whole creative process any different than one when
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: when you're just writing about like you say you against
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: the world, like this one, you're more reflected on yourselves.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: Did was there any noticeable difference?
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I think on a couple of songs
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: in particular, I would say, especially the last track on
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: the album, The Light, that that song certainly feels very emotional.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: It's it's quite open and different for us, and there's
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of texture to it that
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: you know, I think we haven't really explored before or
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: only just dipped our toes into, and especially for Angus,
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: that was like almost like a vocal solo piece, you know,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: for the first two or three minutes of the tune.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: So you know, definitely while we were recording that we
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: were very conscious of, I guess, the feeling that we
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: wanted it to evoke, and you know, making sure obviously
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: all the takes are good and he's happy with the
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: sound of his voice, but you know, if there are
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: moments on there that feel a little like imperfect, that's
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: okay to keep because that's what makes it human and
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: that's what brings it in line with the I guess
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: the emotional content of what we're trying to get across too.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: But yeah, so there were there are a few little
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: moments like that for sure. We recorded the album very
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: ad hoc, so we we you know, would have like
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: one week we'd be focusing on one song, and then
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: we'd take a few days break and then we'd come back.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: You know, having our own studio is a nice sort
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: of plus little perk of that. But you know we
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: were able to, I guess, give each song it's due.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: You know, we would come back to it over and
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: over and over again until we really got it feeling right.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: So I think definitely there was some elements of that
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: for sure.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: Now you touched on this a bit earlier on before,
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: Robert Live Pilot have a reputation for your killer live show.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: So for the benefit of those who might not have
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: had the pleasure before, run us through a typical live
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: performance from Live Pilot.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: A typical live performance from Life Pilot usually involves the
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: people on stage trying to murder each other, or at
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: least murder ourselves. Yeah, like we we, like I said,
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: we come from that like upbringing of that Southern metalcore
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: of bands like Normal Jean, The Chariot, Dillinger, Escape Plan.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: You know these bands that like not only is the
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: music they're playing frantic and chaotic. But the way they
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: play it is frantic and chaotic, and there's an element
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: of I don't want to say, like danger to it,
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: but they're like like unexpected antics to it. Like you
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: really just don't know what's going to happen, and to
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: be honest, neither do we. Like, you know, there are
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: things that I've come to expect, you know, the vocalists
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: doing backflips off of the drum kit, people jumping into
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: me into the drum kit, you know, just taking me out.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: Like we've you know, we've had all sorts of crazy
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: things happen. Like our guitar players just run around the venue.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: I don't see them for half of the show, you know,
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: like I'll look up and they'll be on a mezzanine level,
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: like drinking a beer over the banister or something like.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: It's it's just a wild time. But like for us,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: you know, we take this music very seriously, but we
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: don't take ourselves that seriously. You know, life is, you know,
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: it's a little too serious as it is. So we
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: try to like really just have fun, and we invite
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: people when they come to our show to have fun
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: and just let loose and just be themselves and you know,
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: get weird with us too. You know, like we've got
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: people coming up to our you know, our singer and
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: giving them their shoes and saying, hey, slap me in
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: the face with these songs or whatever. Like bizarre stuff
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: happens in the Life Party show. But we love it.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: We love it. So we're really hoping that, you know,
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: in this inter state run that we're about to do,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: that you know, we get some weird stuff happening as well.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: Well that in the state run you speak of, bro
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: kicks off on the twenty fourth of April in Brisbane,
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: then you get the Gold Coast, Nambour, cherrygol Tamboro, Sydney
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: and Melbourne, finished in Adelaide on May sixteenth. By the
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: sounds of it, you guys have always got something up
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: your sleeves. So what specially have you got in store
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: for fans on this run?
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: Like I said, we kind of kind of just leave
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: it up to how we feel on the night, but
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: you know, like far out like the last last tour
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: that we did, which a while ago now, but you know,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: we've had we had some shows where like just there
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: were some things in the room that we felt like, Okay,
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: we've got to work with this. There was a particular
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: show that we played, I think in Woollongong on our
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: last tour, and there was just this like rug in
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: front of the stage and Angus just saw it and
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: went like, Okay, at some point in the show, I'm
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: going to roll myself up like a burrito. And he did.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: He cleared the crowd off, he ran down, grabbed it
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: and then coiled himself up and sort of like like
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: just pulled himself and people were picking him up inside
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: the rug like he was a body about to be
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: thrown into the lake. Like yeah, so you know, like
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: it's it's we really don't know. But what I will
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: promise anyone who comes and sees is that it will
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: be a good time. You will have fun. You will
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: probably off at some stage, and you know, and I
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: hope you get in there and chuck a marsh and
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: show us some cool moves.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: I noticed two of the shows, the one in Adelade
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: and the one in Nambo or all ages, bro, Like,
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: do you have to you have to tone things down
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: a little bit? No, one, there's going to be kids.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: In there, I guess, nah, absolutely not. Yeah, yeah, often
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: they're they're the weirdest ones. Like some of our out
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: like All Ages shows in the past have been the
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: ones where we were like just like, holy crap, like
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: these kids are going crazy. Like I remember once we
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: played in the Central Coast and we had like a
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: support band who like brought all their like they were
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: like high schoolers, so they brought all of their like
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: high school mates. And I don't know if most of
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: these kids had been to a hardcore show before, but
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: they were picking each other up and like swinging each
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: other around in the mosh pit like whipper snippers, and
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: we're a little concerned for their well being, but they
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: were just having fun man Like I guess, you know,
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: as a kid, like think about it, like when do
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: you get to let loose like that? You know, it's
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: it's not a thing. So yeah, definitely the All Ages
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: shows we certainly encourage, like you know, the younger crew
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: to come down. Obviously be safe, but how some fun
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: and you know, enjoy yourself.
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: Ah.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: Now, before I let you go, bro, I've got a
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: new segment I've started called photo Bomb. So basically, before
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: we speak, I troll through your social media and I
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: come up with some foto that.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: I want to know a bit more about, Like, okay,
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: this on here, like I don't.
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: Know what it's going on here, but it seemed my
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: first song was some sort of musical fucking human centipede.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: But uh oh man, okay. So that I believe is
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: the birthplace of the Roe Pit. And I know the
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: Roe Pit has become like a bit of a meme
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: in the Australian medical community and some people don't like it.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: But my understanding is that that kicked off there was
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: a couple of like people in Sydney, like central Coast
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: area that had started doing it, and a few of
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: those guys were like a part of either some of
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: the bands we were playing with or friends there of
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: who came to this show that we played in Sydney
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: and yeah, like the middle of one of our songs
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: completely like just like, no, we didn't ask to do,
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: We had no idea what the hell was going on.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: They all just lined up in a row and just
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: started rowing. And our bass player you can see at
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: the front, he jumped in there and tried to play
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: the riff while doing a hundred crunches. Yeah, that was
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: that was super fun. That was a really fun show.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: Actually that was at Stave's Brewery in Sydney. We enjoyed that.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: That was a cool place.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: Hey, go On's the second photo I've got for you
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: is I've played stacks on before, bro, but never quite
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: like this.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was. That was at Adelaide's Unibar. Staxon has
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: been a pretty common theme for our band. You can
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: sort of see at the very bottom there's a microphone
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: and people are trying to grab it, and that's anger.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: This is on the underside of that. And he got
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: absolutely smashed by that. And that last guy who jumped
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: on I actually jumped on and kind of fell off.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: That dude rolled on right after me, and I just
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: saw him out the corner of the aisle while I
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: was running onto the stack getting up. He was a
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: big boy, and I was genuinely concerned that he was
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: coming down crashing after me. But poor angus at the
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: bottom of the stack, he's weighs like fifty kilos, doesn't
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: have an ounce of fat on him, so he got crushed.
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: So was that guy on top just a guy from
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: the crowd that's just run up And.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, just some dude, just some guy. Didn't even meet him.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: Afterwards he just like came in, watched our show, crushed
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: our singer, and out he went.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: They've then violated him and fucked off.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: That's again a constant theme in Life Pilot.
• 17:24
