  Speaker 1: Obviously we've here to have a chat with you, and
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: Ryan should be joining us shortly, who's our drummer. And
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: then we've also got Justin our guitar who won't be
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: with us today, and Michael Doherty's filling in on bass
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: for this tour. So yeah, good a, here you go. Yeah,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: good to join you. Bet.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: Thanks for joining us today.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Brother, Thanks Mahet, thanks for having us.
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: No, so we've got a bit to get through today,
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: but we'll start off with your most recent single, Planet Death,
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: which was released last Friday.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: So it was a third single that you released in
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: the last month, bro. So how was the reception for it?
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: Well, it's yeah. Like you said, it came out yesterday
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: so it's only been overnight. But all things so far,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: it's pretty good. I think the biggest reception has actually
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: been from Ryan and Justin, who I think have actually
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: finally heard the song for the first time, even though
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: they've been playing it for a year. Obviously, like in
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: a band, like what you hear out the back and
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: on the side versus what everyone's hearing at the front
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: is very, very different, so they finally heard it mixed
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: and master to go, oh, that's what this song sounds like.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: It's actually interesting to have that idea floating around that
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: your own band doesn't know what your own song's sound like,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: even though they've been the ones performing them, which I've
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: always found a little bit interesting.
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: Three part concept driven series of standalone singles of tracks
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: dubed Death, War, and Fire. Now I want to run
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: through each of the songs individually, But firstly, what is
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: the concept behind the trilogy?
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: Well, originally, well actually the whole idea that these three
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: songs got released. So Steve, who started Awake and the Hate,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: made the decision at the end of last year to
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: step away. That was all for his personal reasons, but
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: these were the last of the three songs that he
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: wrote with the band, and we thought this would be
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: a fitting way to say goodbye, so he actually came
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: back to record them with us. He's still a very
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: good friend of the band and the door is always
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: open if he ever wants to come back. We're currently
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: not replacing him with the second guitarist. We're just going
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: to do this tour with one guitarist. Yeah, So Ryan's
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: just sent me a message you'll be joining very very shortly.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: So yeah, so that was sort of the idea. And
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: then obviously, you know, they all each song sort of
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: tackles something differently, something environmental, with this current one Planet
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Death very political.
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: Good a Ryan, Hey boys.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: Good morning, thanks for joining us.
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: Brother Hey great, Sorry, but they made a good caught
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: up between Bundy and Agnes.
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: Is you today?
• 2:49
  Speaker 6: So we're just we're just run over the third and
• 2:54
  Speaker 6: last single actually, and then we're about to start on
• 2:56
  Speaker 6: the singles breaking down one by one, so we'll let
• 2:59
  Speaker 6: better finish off what he was on about them.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, like I was saying, so, yeah, Planet Death's
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: environmental contradiction of war was very political, and then Reign
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: of Fire is a bit more sort of spiritual about
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: the whole thing. So that's sort of what the concept
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: about it was. And then releasing them as a trilogy
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: was to say thanks to Steve and also finally get
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: a bit more than two tracks on the out there
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: for people.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: Nice now, Reign and Fire was the first cab off
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: the rank. So tell us about that song in my detail?
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Ah, well, that that was the one that I never
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: ever wanted to record it. If I'm one hundred percent honest,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: because well, it's the initial concept was it's based on
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: the movie Reign of Fire with Christian Bale and Steve McConaughey,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: So you know, it's a dragon and all of that.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: But the fans love it. Everyone's seen all the boys
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: have always enjoyed playing it, and it connects. So we're like, cool,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: let's get them all out there. And that was that
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: was sort of the basic concept behind Rain and Fire.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: What's it about, lyrically, tell me it's not about Bettey mcgooney.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Oh well, it is about a dragon that's you know,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: coming from like deep within the earth to wreak havoc
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: upon an apocalyptic world or create an apocalyptic world, which
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: also sets up the rest of the trilogy. Just really
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: basic concepts of you know, it's very very easy for
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: the human race to be wiped out, and I think
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: sometimes we forget how fragile we really are, whether it
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: be a mythical dragon or you know, we've all experienced
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: a few things in the last three to four years
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: that have caused disruption to the planet.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: And on that particular song to launch the trilogy.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Basically because it didn't have a guitar, Soloy Okay, that
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: was that was Yeah, that was the reason it's not
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: very not a lot of thought went into it. Oh well,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: it literally was that it was no guitar solo. Figure,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: we'll get the one that's just a heavy headbang and
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: like smack you in the face introduction to the trilogy,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: and then then we'll get into the ones that I
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: also think that the next two lyrically have got a
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: lot more depth to them. So Rain of Fire to
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: me was like, cool, that's the fun one. We'll get
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: that out of the road and then we'll get the
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: two hard hitters.
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: Speaking of hard hitters, the next one was Contradiction of War,
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: which was very hard hitting.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: Mate, tell us more about that one and what it's about.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Well, obviously we released it on Anzac Day, which I
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: discussed with Brian because his missus actually works for what's
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: it called, Ryan.
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: Yeah, she's she's basically works with for Veterans so in
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: like a eCos distant after Veterans Australia. So it was like, yeah, well,
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: well timed kind of released for the track considering a
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: lot of us have ties to the military and so yeah,
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: so it was a good day to kind of get
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: that one out there.
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: And at the moment attribute to the fallen soldiers or
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: was it more of indictment against governed policies on a
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: day with the deaths of so many of you remembered.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Well, I think it's about awareness. Like obviously ANZAC Day
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: and Australia's a very very special day and it's for
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: us to remember the fallen soldiers. But I think some
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: of it times we forget that not all of these
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: guys had the best time while they were doing and women,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: I should say, and then when they get back as well,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: it's we forget about how hard it is. And I
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: think that releasing it on an Anzac Day was a
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: way of saying, hey, we respect everything that's going on,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: but maybe we should have a deep think about why
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: these conflicts are happening and why we're sending young our
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: future off to get killed.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: Essentially, did you get much feedback from that that's about this?
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: Not negative? Were the feedback we actually got back was
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: all positive about the actual track, So I think that's
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: a pretty good indictment in where people are they can
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: take the message and then actually focused on the music,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: which was great for us because we're really really happy
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: with this one, the mix and the master came back huge. Yeah,
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: and we actually did something really really different, well not
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: really really different, but a little bit different. All of
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: this was recorded without a click track, so this is
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: all Ryan set the tone, and it's his drums are
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: not replaced. It's all We recorded the bass tracks live,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: added guitar solos and vocal second. But I think you
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: can feel that too. It's got the emotion, it's got
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: that groove, that drive about it. That doesn't have that
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: clinical like we've been We've done this by a computer.
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: On Friday.
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: Of course, your releases thirty concluding chapter cled Platt Death,
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: So tell us more about that one.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: That one's very very simple. I think it's a theme
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: that I'm I connect with, and that's you know, the
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: apocalyptic themes with particularly in regards to the environment and
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: to political but particularly in the environment, particularly in this
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: carbon field world. We've got an election on today and
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: obviously in the environment's been very very big in that
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: and it's definitely a theme that I connect with. Plus
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: you heard Ryan's drums on it. How kicks are they?
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 8:39
  Speaker 5: It gets you moving and I find the player. We
• 8:42
  Speaker 5: smashed that out like in the studio. I think we
• 8:45
  Speaker 5: had maybe what two three takes to get that down
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: without a click track, without overlaying, you know, everyone's different instruments, and.
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: You know, without a whole day in the studio. We
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: smashed it out pretty quick.
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: So it's pretty good to hear when it comes when
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: it plays back, especially people like me, Like I sit
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: behind the kit most of the time. So when I
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: when I joined this band, I didn't actually I'd heard
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: bits and pieces of recordings of songs, but I've never
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: actually heard them front of stage.
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: So until this, until you recorded these, I actually.
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: Never heard them as a as a spectator.
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: I'd only ever heard them behind the kit.
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: So to me, everything sounded loud and massive, and and
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: then when I heard them back, I was like, shit, man,
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: this is fucking this is why people like this.
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: Shit, it's fucking good to listen to.
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, those three songs are standalone tracks, but you said
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: that they kick off an explosive thematic arc that will
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: carry over to your debut album, Like, can you elaborate
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: on that arc?
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: And you on that one, Ryan or yeah?
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: So we I mean obviously, you know Steven Bennoh with
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: Wake and the Hate for years before me and Juddy
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: joined the band, you know, had a particular I guess
• 9:56
  Speaker 5: an agenda with with with the songwriting and see songwriting,
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: and and with the kind of groove metal which we
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: all love that we've I've got a massive background and
• 10:05
  Speaker 5: passion in groove metal, and so I was chazy the
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: rest of the boys, But I think when we joined
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: the band, we kind of thought, if we start taking
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: it in a new direction, we can start pushing it
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: a little.
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: Faster, a little more aggressive.
• 10:17
  Speaker 5: I mean, if you listen to the old Wake and
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: the Hate stuff, even the songs that we're now playing
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: probably like half the speed. So we've kind of up
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: the tempo and it's that feel. I mean, I've got
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: a huge passion behind that particular you know BPM for
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: you know, for listeners and what gets people really pumped
• 10:33
  Speaker 5: up and motivated. So I think with the new tracks,
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: you'll hear a little bit more of that, a little
• 10:38
  Speaker 5: bit more aggression, a little bit more tempo, a little
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: bit more.
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: You know ferocity, and the way that we write the music.
• 10:43
  Speaker 5: But then the lyrics and the you know, and the
• 10:46
  Speaker 5: and the drive behind the band was driven up to
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: this point and made it so successful as will say
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: the same, So you'll just see a little bit of
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: a difference in relation. There's some new input from say,
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: you know, the newer members of the band, but still
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: having that whole awake in the hate you know ethos
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: that they've always kind of carried from halfrom back in
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: the day to now.
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, is that plic fan driven? Like, do you think
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: your fans want to hear that? Or are you sort
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: of experimenting people that hoping they come along for the ride.
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: No, I think it's well, I mean, I haven't met
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: all the fans, but I met a few of the ones,
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: you know that have been there for quite some time.
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: But every time we release a new song, every time
• 11:22
  Speaker 5: we play like I've been with the band now for
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: over over a year, and you get feedback from the
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: way that we're now playing maybe some of those songs
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: and obviously we haven't had a chance to really you know,
• 11:32
  Speaker 5: smash them with this new.
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: Stuff out yet, but I guess it'll be hard to
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: tell it.
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: We'll get more of an idea when we start playing
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: these new tracks on tour, you know, in the next
• 11:41
  Speaker 5: week or two, and then we get some feedback from
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: from the crowd, from the audience, and you know, I
• 11:46
  Speaker 5: think they'll I think they'll like I mean, most of
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: the people that I know that listen to this kind
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: of shit, you know, love music for what it is
• 11:53
  Speaker 5: and how it makes them feel. I think, you know,
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: that little tiny change, when it comes down to it, it
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: won't make much of a difference. I think people will
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: still love the whole. You know what Wake and Hate
• 12:03
  Speaker 5: brings to the stage. It's always a show, it's always
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: an experience. It's always lyrically unreal.
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: And I think people just love that side of it.
• 12:10
  Speaker 5: So I don't think making those small changes to you know,
• 12:13
  Speaker 5: to influence will change that. I think it will just
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: hopefully bring more people on board, you know, so it
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: happens nice.
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: On the subject of the debut album, guys, what are
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: the plans that have you started writing it or have
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: you put that on old to you finish the tour
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: coming up?
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: No, I know, it's definitely started. We're actually taking two
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: new songs on tour with us to road test them.
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: So.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: One of them is really really fresh, So that'd be
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: interesting to see how the performance element goes on that.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: I don't the crowd will definitely hear what it's like
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: to not know your song.
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: Well when when he says fresh he means we haven't
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: actually played it all the way through yet.
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's gonna fresh Man.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah. But these for me, I get to add a
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: lot more lyrical content now that that I'm becoming the
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: main lyric writer. Are like Steve's no longer with us,
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: and what I'm trying to do is actually get a
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: lot more political and a lot more less personal, Like
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: I don't want to write internally. I want to write
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: more about universally issues that everyone's dealing with. So so
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: we'll see we're going to take them on tour that
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: definitely they take they do take off where like I
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: guess more Planet depths finished and then you can see
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: where we're going from that. And yeah, I'm actually I'm
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: pretty happy because one of the new ones I actually
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: even wrote the guitar riff for, so so we'll see.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: It's I'm excited about it. We've got a few things
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: in the back pocket with discussions with in Europe at
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: the moment, which we can't say too much about, but
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: that will be tied to the new album. So we'll see.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: There's definitely two new tracks along with the ones that
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: have been released coming on too with us as.
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: We now speaking of tour awakened the hair to taking
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: the songs on the road for four shows on a
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: four day run, starting in Perth on May the eighth.
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: Then you get Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney over consecutive days.
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: That's the running out slug for your first national tool.
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: Four shows in four days and four stage.
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's my fault.
• 14:25
  Speaker 5: Sorry, Yeah, I mean obviously we know we're all I mean,
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: we love being in the bands.
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: We could be four time rock stars.
• 14:32
  Speaker 5: I'm sure we'd all be doing that, but a lot
• 14:34
  Speaker 5: of us still have families and jobs and things like
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: that we're going to get back to.
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: So I think the endly way to make.
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: It work this time was to trying to you know,
• 14:41
  Speaker 5: get away on a Thursday, get back on a Monday,
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: get back to life.
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: So we had that much of a choice.
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: So basically, yeah, we jump on the jump on the
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: flight on I think Wednesday night, we get into Perth,
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: We've got a day in wa where we'll hopefully get
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: a chance to have a bit of a rehearsal and
• 14:58
  Speaker 5: then yeah we've got I mean, Beno's done all the
• 15:01
  Speaker 5: work here of it we've done. We've got shows. Yeah,
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: so I mean Thursday night and then straight out. I
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: think we're on a plane the next morning at seven
• 15:08
  Speaker 5: to fly to Adelaide, and then the next morning on
• 15:10
  Speaker 5: another plane to fly to Melbourne. Then the next day
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: in the morning fight to Sydney, and then although my
• 15:17
  Speaker 5: twenty year old brain reckons will be totally sweet with
• 15:19
  Speaker 5: all that stuff, I think our forty year old bodies
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: are going to probably cop a bit of a flogging.
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: But we don't have much of a choice.
• 15:24
  Speaker 5: And I think that's that's the difference between work and play.
• 15:28
  Speaker 5: Like if it was a four day work conference, I
• 15:30
  Speaker 5: reckon I'll be dead by the day three. But I
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: think the fact that we jump on stage and do
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: what we love and hopefully please please the fans and
• 15:38
  Speaker 5: the crowds that turn up, it doesn't matter how you
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: feel when you get on stage. That kind of gets
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: you through your set, and then you know you want
• 15:44
  Speaker 5: to enjoy your time with the fans after that, And
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: then I reckon that'll get us through, so you know,
• 15:49
  Speaker 5: we'll see what happens. I'm pretty fit. I reckon I'll
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: make it through. Ben, what about you, mate.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: I've lost, I'll put it all back on and oh yeah, yeah,
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: you probably will.
• 16:02
  Speaker 5: We're going to put some weight on this tour. But
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: now we can I reckon, we can deal with it.
• 16:05
  Speaker 5: We're motivated where everything's well organized. That's big thanks to
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: Benet for doing all the organization for this particular tour.
• 16:11
  Speaker 5: But everything's organized and we know what we're doing, so
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: I think I think, just yeah, enthusiasm, we'll get us
• 16:17
  Speaker 5: through the four.
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: I've got to say to you, good on you for
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: taking it to Perth.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: Tig.
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: They're always streaming out for music over there, so hopefully
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: they get behind it when you take it over there.
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: Well that was Justin's idea. So he was over there
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: last year as a guitar tech for one of the
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: headliners on the Red Hot Summer tour and it was like, man,
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: we've got to get the Perth and like cool, So
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: we actually based this whole tour around getting to Perth. Unfortunately,
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: I know everyone in Perth was like can you do
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: Friday or Saturday? And I'd love to, but unfortunately this
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: time around we can't. But luckily I've got some friends
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: over there and the band Voyage was actually given up
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: their back line, which is going to so that's very
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: and they got a new song out as well, and
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: it's good to see Danny back. Oh man. I'm sure
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: like they've had a rough rough time since Eurovision, but
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: I'm just I'm going to be stoked to have a
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: beer with the guys and girls. So yeah, it's perhap
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: should be fun. Yeah, I'm looking forward to so right through.
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: A typical Awaken Hate live shoting guys had a lot
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: of people around these faces, wouldn't have seen it before.
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: So yeah, theyd.
• 17:31
  Speaker 5: H well expect noise, expects energy, expects a ridiculous show.
• 17:38
  Speaker 5: I mean, I've been to millions of metal shows and
• 17:40
  Speaker 5: they're always sick, but I think the ones that are,
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: you know, a bit of ad lib and Veno as
• 17:45
  Speaker 5: a front man's always makes it super fun. So the
• 17:47
  Speaker 5: crowd is going to get involved instead of just jumping
• 17:50
  Speaker 5: out there on stage and playing your ship and getting
• 17:51
  Speaker 5: off like we like to get on there and make
• 17:53
  Speaker 5: sure the crowds involved having a good time and then yeah,
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: and the music speaks for itself. I think it's got that,
• 17:59
  Speaker 5: it's got that feel. It really gets people involved into it.
• 18:01
  Speaker 5: So we're expecting a fair bit of mosh and heaps
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: a sweat and probably a couple of beers and then
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: about five beers stuck in front of or behind. He
• 18:09
  Speaker 5: actually makes a mistake of leaving him close to the
• 18:11
  Speaker 5: drum kit, so he down at the hard way after
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: the last show that if he leaves them to close
• 18:14
  Speaker 5: to me, I'll be drinking them.
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: But anyway, yeah, fans are going to love it.
• 18:18
  Speaker 5: I think I'm They're in for a massive show and
• 18:20
  Speaker 5: anyway it turns up, it's not going to be disappointed.
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: I promise him that break.
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: Could people find out more about the tour or follow
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: the band?
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: Uh? Facebook? Instagram? Yeah, we've got the links that there's
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: on There's a link in Instagram and Facebook to our
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: link tree which has a link to all the tickets.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: So I think it's odds ticks for Perth, Perth Adelaide
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: and Sydney is oz TIS and it's event bright in Melbourne.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: We're actually playing the Cherry Bar in Melbourne, which is
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: obviously a very popular live music venue in Melbourne. I'm
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: super stoked. Last time I was there, I was actually
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: drinking with Masterdon so that was pretty fun.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: Oh they come to shame.
• 19:04
