Sam Baker, Ty, to our Brad,
2:09
Russ, Hansen. Welcome to the hang,
2:11
guys. I'm glad to meet you.
2:12
What's
2:12
up? Thanks.
2:13
What's up,
2:13
Scott? Thanks for having us, man.
2:13
Scott, man.
2:14
Thanks for having
2:15
us, Scott.
2:15
What
2:15
an intro, man. What
2:16
Excellent.
2:16
an intro.
2:17
What
2:17
an intro, we're not that good.
2:20
I think you are. And you know what?
2:22
It's my goddamn podcast. So that's all that matters,
2:24
right? What we're here to do is make sure everybody else understands that
2:28
by the time we're done today. It's super important.
2:31
~ you know, we we we do a really wide-ranging conversation,
2:35
but I always want to start at the beginning,
2:37
right? ~ you all got together at a young age,
2:41
right? Like, did music find you guys?
2:45
Did you did did music find you?
2:47
Did you find music? And how'd you bring that?
2:50
you
2:50
know, that moment of music sparking something you together to to to stick around
2:56
and and and make music together.
2:57
Who wants to start?
3:01
Music, I think for Sam and I, it definitely found us.
3:05
We grew up playing sports and around that period of 2019,
3:10
2020, when we were finishing up high school,
3:12
going to college, we realized that there was no future for us playing sports
3:16
in college. Right around that time,
3:19
was a banjo. Sam purchased a guitar.
3:24
We did some shows in his garage with some friends.
3:27
Everyone came up and sang.
3:29
That was kind of the start of things and ended up looping Brad into it.
3:33
He was just singing in his shower all the time and always wanted to be a frontman.
3:38
So that worked. And then we met Ty,
3:40
who was already a drummer in a couple different bands up in Boulder where
3:44
we went to school. And voila,
3:48
that was the band. We started just like that.
3:52
So
3:53
who brought what to the band musically?
3:56
Cause you guys have a lot of different genres that you've you've made this musical
4:00
stew, right? Who are some influences from each of you that you kind
4:04
of brought into your own music style and then as a group decided that
4:07
was the direction you were gonna go in?
4:11
Ty.
4:12
We were
4:12
just talking about this yesterday.
4:13
Yeah, we were just talking about this yesterday where it's like,
4:15
~ it depends on the song. Like I come,
4:19
I come from a lot like, really rock and roll drumming.
4:21
you you
4:22
And like, Dave Grohl and John Bonham and Taylor Hawkins are like
4:25
FNAF.
4:26
the reason I started playing drums.
4:28
And, and we were working on this song right now for the upcoming album.
4:35
And it's very, it's very stones.
4:37
It's very like, Rolling Stones kind of
4:40
that kind of rock and roll vibe.
4:42
And we were listening to the track yesterday for the first time in a while
4:45
and the drums are just like, and it just like doesn't fit the song.
4:50
And we were just sitting in the car listening to it yesterday.
4:53
were like, yeah, we might need to redo the drums on that and make it
4:55
a little more like stones instead of like Nirvana.
5:01
What let me ask you let me ask you this.
5:03
it's been a while since I've like listened to a rough track in a car.
5:07
It's been it like you guys still do that?
5:10
You guys get in the car and you're okay,
5:11
let's just crank it up and see see what it sounds like when we're sitting
5:13
Yeah Yeah
5:14
in the center of it. I think that's awesome.
5:17
Our tour van, it doesn't have the best sound system,
5:21
but it's, we know if a song sounds good in the van,
5:26
then we know it's a good song because it surpasses the bad sound system.
5:32
So
5:32
so is there a gonna be a label on the album that says Van Approved?
5:36
That's a great idea.
5:36
Haha
5:37
Yeah, pretty much.
5:39
Van sound approved. That's that's awesome.
5:42
~ let's let's talk about Sam.
5:45
What what were who were some of your influences in in joint you know,
5:49
coming into music? Who are some pieces of of of of other styles
5:54
or other other artists that you really love that you bring to the sound of the band?
5:58
~ well, actually like back kinda when I started getting into just listening
6:04
to music when I was in probably fifth grade,
6:07
it was because Russ had sent me Brad's old SoundCloud playlist.
6:13
We had all these like crazy kind of psychedelic rap songs like Flatbush
6:20
Zombies and ~ Biggie. So that was my first intro to listening to music that wasn't
6:26
just on the radio.
6:29
And p until I was probably
6:30
Okay.
6:34
nineteen I was really into that kind of music for the most part.
6:35
you
6:38
And then like Tom Petty came around and now I'm I'm really into kind
6:44
of the the psychedelic scene now,
6:45
which is like Tamin Paula, Dope Lemon,
6:49
a lot of those those bands.
6:52
And Brett, how about you?
6:55
Yeah, I, I'm a big country fan,
6:58
like older country. like like Lee Hazelwood and I'm a big Roger Miller fan.
7:04
So a lot of those old, older country artists that do a really good
7:10
job of storytelling and getting a little train beat over it.
7:14
So, you know, I think, I think we all kind of bring different things
7:19
you you
7:21
to the table. And when we're writing music together,
7:23
it's
7:24
like for the under your spell song,
7:25
like all four of us kind of brought a separate part in there that could have been
7:29
four separate songs. And then ended up just working out that we can mash them kind
7:33
of all together in this, in this kind of genre bending way.
7:37
So
7:37
so let me how how do you how do you make those decisions together?
7:41
Cause you know, there's there's not a there's there's no fifth tiebreaker.
7:44
you you
7:45
Do you guys have a voting process?
7:47
Do you guys duke it out in the studio?
7:49
I mean, sometimes sometimes things can get,
7:51
you know, heated in life when you you're gonna hold a line on a position
7:55
and you're all bringing different things to the music and you want your your piece
7:59
to be heard. How do you guys deal with that?
8:02
Well,
8:02
Scott, honestly, it's, think the fact that we're all best friends helps a lot.
8:07
There's a mutual respect as musicians,
8:09
as friends, as creatives throughout the four of us.
8:12
Okay.
8:12
We don't tend to argue very much.
8:15
I think we all have a really similar vision for what we want and know
8:19
our sound can be like. So it's,
8:21
there's not really a hierarchy.
8:22
There's not really, there's no really,
8:24
there hasn't really ever been a time where we've had to duke it out or anything.
8:28
I think a lot of that lies in the fact that there.
8:31
like our relationship, there's a core base and there's a lot of respect that goes
8:36
between the four of us and something that Sam hears,
8:36
Okay. you
8:39
maybe I don't hear it that same way,
8:41
but I think we all try things out until we kind of come to ~ a conclusion.
8:47
Yeah, there's there's always kind of ha ev all of us kind of have the same ear.
8:53
We're like, All right, that's that's how the song should be,
8:56
but it takes jamming it out for about five hours to really figure it out.
9:05
And then yeah. ~
9:05
or five minutes.
9:09
Let
9:10
me let me let me ask. ~ I dcause this is the one thing I really gotta
9:13
f I gotta understand. The dirty turkeys.
9:16
What's the story behind the name?
9:19
The name? so back,
9:20
Take it away, Brad.
9:21
back, back in the college years,
9:23
Okay.
9:23
~ this is about three years before the dirty Turkey inception even happened.
9:28
I Sam Russ and I had never even been in a band before I was a freshman.
9:30
Okay.
9:33
My I had been telling my roommate for the past,
9:36
you know, three months that I really wanted to join a band up in college.
9:39
And
9:40
he came back from his friend's nephew's little league soccer game.
9:45
And they were like, it's like a nine year old soccer game.
9:47
And they had.
9:48
chosen to name their team, the Dirty Turkeys.
9:50
Okay. Okay.
9:51
So when he came back to our dorm,
9:53
he opened the door up and he's like,
9:54
dude, I don't know if you'll ever fucking join a band or what,
9:57
but if you ever do, you gotta call it the Dirty Turkeys.
10:00
And it wasn't until three years later that we actually started the band.
10:04
And it hasn't even been a question.
10:05
It's just always, it's always been the Dirty Turkeys.
10:09
I think that's amazing.
10:09
Yeah.
10:11
At first I was like
10:11
Yeah,
10:12
so some nine-year-old soccer team pretty much named us in 2019.
10:20
so you s Sam, you were saying something?
10:22
Yeah, at first I was like, wow.
10:24
~ we're just like this goofy,
10:28
this goofy name. I don't have like a serious name
10:32
and be all ~ but then we started realizing it was
10:33
Okay.
10:37
a lot more ourselves and a lot
10:42
a lot more fun to just have that kind of goofy name and and it just people just
10:47
instead of calling us like, that's the blah blah blah.
10:51
They just call us turkeys. So it's kind of cool.
10:55
I just walk around, people gobble at us on the streets.
10:55
Well there's a turkey.
10:59
Heh.
11:00
We got some good turkey
11:01
~
11:01
facts. We've kind of been, we represent the turkeys.
11:08
It's our favorite bird and there needs to be a little bit more
11:14
out there about that very special bird.
11:17
So we're happy to be the liaison for that.
11:20
I mean, so so is there an like an annual Thanksgiving gig you guys do
11:23
in honor of the turkey? You could do a turkey fest.
11:26
We get
11:26
Yeah. ~
11:28
There's an
11:28
we get drunk.
11:30
annual football game that's played every year with us at Thanksgiving.
11:33
Yeah, we tend to
11:35
just drink a lot of beer on Thanksgiving and not worry about the music too much.
11:36
Okay. Ha.
11:38
Yeah.
11:39
No,
11:40
no. I I mean I figured maybe, you know,
11:42
you guys were on a like, hey, okay,
11:44
if we name the band The Dirty Turkeys and then we want to get ourselves like
11:47
a a a bourbon brand and get into the liquor business,
11:51
Ha
11:51
Yes, now we're talking.
11:51
you would definitely have
11:53
you would definitely have opportunity there for sure.
11:54
Got some options.
11:55
Again.
11:55
That
11:56
would be such a slippery slope for us to have like cases and cases of bourbon
12:00
in our garage.
12:01
Yeah.
12:02
W why why why so? Why so?
12:06
I mean, we have like, we have.
12:06
We tend to drink a lot of it.
12:10
Yeah,
12:12
Mm-hmm.
12:13
we get like we get we get beer from this company called Howdy and
12:16
we get tequila from this company called Swear-O-Tay and we always like stock
12:17
Okay.
12:20
up before we go on tour and we're like,
12:22
yeah, sick. We got a whole bin full of booze like we're gonna be set
12:26
for the whole tour and it's usually gone after like
12:28
the first four days.
12:29
No,
12:29
then we gotta like
12:30
You
12:32
all right.
12:33
And well hopefully hopeful
12:33
So dirty turkey
12:35
bourbon would be scary.
12:37
You
12:37
Yeah,
12:38
yeah. But you know what in today's look in today's music world,
12:40
you you've got to have some sort of other merch,
12:42
right? You've got to have something to sell besides just the music.
12:44
So now how about ~ like touring?
12:48
What's what's an ex what is the dirty turkey experience at a live show?
12:52
What what for people who have not seen you perform before,
12:57
what is that experience like for them?
13:01
Raw
13:01
power. There's a lot of energy.
13:04
There's a lot of sweatiness. There's a lot of jumping up and down,
13:08
moshing, just infinite jams,
13:13
psychedelia.
13:16
Carnage.
13:16
Yeah.
13:16
Yeah, it's
13:17
not really a show you'd go to and sit down on a chair and have a beer.
13:23
You gotta surrender to the music and completely let go and be in the very front
13:30
if you can and interact with the crowd,
13:33
socialize and just dance like a madman.
13:37
It's really a performance more,
13:37
Surrender and let go. Surr surrender and
13:39
yeah.
13:40
let go. That that could be a lyric.
13:42
That could be like that could be your walk,
13:44
that could be a walk-on song.
13:46
Sounds like a U two song. ~
13:47
String it.
13:48
Surrender, let go.
13:49
Ha ha
13:51
yeah, I think all of our songs are are Ty and I try and hold down a
13:57
a dance beat for the entirety of it.
14:00
And it's kind of free form, like you can dance however you want.
14:04
We have a couple songs that are kind of ~ Latin influenced and a couple that
14:10
are more ~ funk influenced as well,
14:14
so
14:14
You can you can shake your bum however you'd like to at a dirty turkey show.
14:19
And our favorite thing, were talking about it last night,
14:21
our favorite thing is when we get just like freaks at our shows that just
14:26
Yes.
14:26
like, that
14:27
Mm.
14:27
just are super weird dancers. And we were talking last night,
14:31
we were like, we would rather have like,
14:33
we would rather play a show in front of two just like maniacs instead
14:37
of like a thousand just regular people that are just like standing there
14:40
not really dancing.
14:41
You
14:43
Sounds it sounds like you guys like a little bit of ~ like an Andy Frasco audience.
14:47
Have you been with seen Andy play?
14:48
Yeah.
14:48
Yeah,
14:49
we
14:50
Yeah.
14:50
need you to take some tequila shots with us.
14:52
going to need to, we'll probably pull you on stage at some point.
14:55
It might stick my toe in your mouth.
14:57
knows? We'll see.
14:58
So a lot of audience participation.
14:59
Last night,
15:01
last night when we
15:01
Yeah.
15:01
played, we played in Fort Collins last night and it was so hot in the venue
15:05
and we didn't have any drinks on stage and Brad just walked up to a girl
15:08
in the crowd and like took her beer and like chugged it.
15:11
Like gave the empty glass
15:12
Yeah
15:13
back to her.
15:15
Nice.
15:15
Yeah
15:16
Nice. Nice. I like it. I mean,
15:18
it's it's that in-person musical experience,
15:22
I think, that that especially,
15:24
you know, coming out of what we went through for a couple of years with
15:27
the pandemic, people are really yearning for that live music experience
15:31
to get out and and be able to ~ to to just be amongst the music.
15:36
There was too much too much listening in
15:37
Probably.
15:38
isolation, you know?
15:40
And you know, it's interesting,
15:41
Scott, is this past year, as we've been gaining more and more of an audience,
15:46
we've been noticing that people are less and less on their phones during
15:50
the show as well. Like when
15:51
Mm.
15:52
we started out, you know, there was a lot of people filming,
15:54
recording, like it was, it was more into that scene.
15:58
the last, this past year, a lot of our shows,
16:02
people are just so immersed in the show and have no desire to take their phone out,
16:07
no desire to record.
16:09
videos and we've just been loving that.
16:11
We've been noticing that recently.
16:12
It's just cool to see people present,
16:14
engaged and just there to fuck around and let loose.
16:19
You know, it's it's
16:20
it's funny you mention that because I I was just over last weekend,
16:24
~ I saw this band Integra Pink.
16:26
~ they're there's
16:27
Hmm.
16:27
a Southern California band, and they are like a Kumbia punk Tejano band.
16:33
And saw them and I I noticed the same thing.
16:37
Like people were just so into them that the other s the other
16:40
Mmm. Yeah.
16:41
periphery stuff didn't matter as much as it kind of did for a while there when
16:46
people
16:46
all they would all they would do was you know have their phone out
16:50
and be either recording a show
16:51
Yeah.
16:52
or or doing something else. I think you I think you definitely
16:55
~ it's definitely something noticeable.
16:57
And think that's great too because getting a chance to to see an artist
17:02
~ is not only this wonderful visceral experience,
17:06
but it's a great way to support a band.
17:10
Like
17:10
buying tickets
17:10
Mm-hmm.
17:10
Yes.
17:11
is some people don't realize that,
17:13
you know, you buy the music, and and we tell people all the time,
17:15
and there'll be links below to buy your music.
17:18
Gotta support our artists, but to buy a ticket and then put yourself into
17:23
a venue for a couple of hours and just disconnect as much as you
17:27
can and connect with that artist is
17:30
Mm-hmm.
17:31
worth every single dollar you've invested in that band.
17:34
Mm-hmm.
17:36
And and seeing
17:36
Yeah.
17:37
it that way, because I
17:38
'Cause I think a lot of people are,
17:39
you know, we've got the ~ you know,
17:41
this whole blue dot thing going on and and ~ people,
17:45
you know, being priced out of that experience in a lot of ways.
17:49
Yeah.
17:49
~
17:51
you know, that when you can find a band that you like,
17:54
when they're out on the road, support them,
17:55
be in that be in that experience.
17:57
Cause then you can tell your friends about the great time you had.
18:00
Okay.
18:00
Yeah.
18:00
Mm-hmm.
18:02
And that's where a lot of, think our fan base comes from is word of mouth.
18:05
we haven't gone like viral on social media or anything like that.
18:10
But when we go to these shows,
18:12
a lot of these people are coming back and they're like,
18:14
I brought my friends this time.
18:15
And like we saw you last year.
18:16
And I think that's super powerful as well.
18:19
And very overlooked. know, I people chase virality and that's great
18:24
for the short term. And yeah, maybe you might sell tickets,
18:26
you know, in that city or whatever,
18:28
but I think long-term fans.
18:30
It's really important to gain that word of mouth.
18:33
That's going to last longer than anything.
18:36
Yeah, and and and build the relationship.
18:38
I I think now more than
18:39
Yeah.
18:40
Yeah.
18:40
ever, building that relationship and being accessible to to people who invest
18:45
in you is so important. It really
18:47
Mm-hmm.
18:48
Mm-hmm.
18:48
is.
18:48
Yeah, and I think I speak for all of us,
18:50
like we're very grateful. Like we have the best fan base in the world
18:54
and like we're very grateful to have grown in the way that we did and
18:57
not have a song blow up or like an Instagram video blow up.
19:00
then overnight, like we have all these fans.
19:03
Like it's been a very authentic and like genuine growth process.
19:06
And it's been and I think I think because of that,
19:09
we have really like genuine fans that literally they feel like family
19:13
to us because they've just like grown with us over the years.
19:16
Yeah.
19:18
I think that's great.
19:18
Our first couple
19:19
of tours we played, we booked ourselves and it was pretty much only bars
19:24
~ and we would play for three hours straight.
19:27
You know, I'm like that's, kind of thought that was the norm and that
19:31
I think helped us really find our sound and,
19:35
and like Tyler said, find our sound,
19:37
find our performance, connect with each other.
19:40
And like Ty was saying, find those,
19:43
those fans who've
19:44
You know, we're there watching us for three hours straight and some podunk bar and,
19:48
you know, Nevada or something.
19:53
Well,
19:53
let me ask you this. Have you,
19:55
you know, it's it's been what about five,
19:57
six years now you guys been together.
19:59
Have you set some goals for yourselves as a as a group and then reach them
20:05
and had a moment where it just kind of you're like look around and go,
20:09
wait a minute, we we hit our goal.
20:11
We did what we wanted to set set out to do,
20:13
whether it be in in producing a certain song or maybe it was a show,
20:16
have you had one of those aha moments where like,
20:19
damn it, this thing has really come together the way that we we'd hoped it would?
20:24
Yeah, playing in New York City was definitely a big moment for all of us.
20:29
We drove all the way out there,
20:33
trekked all the way, played some shows on the way and got there.
20:36
Just being in our own van with our own gear and everything and seeing that city
20:39
was crazy. And just navigating through the streets,
20:43
the van, playing the show, that was awesome.
20:47
then also, I would say our most recent song,
20:51
Under Your Spell, we all
20:54
We're all very proud of it. It feels like the most genuine Turkey song that we've
21:00
ever made. ~ All of
21:04
our ideas from each band member has conjoined into this song in a very special way.
21:10
It feels like a breakthrough song for us.
21:14
Well
21:15
let's let's talk about under your spell
21:18
In the context of this, I really like it.
21:21
The the music video that you guys made was brilliant.
21:24
I really, I really enjoyed it.
21:26
For any of you watching, I'll throw the link to that down
21:28
Ha!
21:28
below too. You've got you've got to check this out.
21:30
~ if you if you enjoy ~ if you were a child and enjoyed a good puppet show,
21:35
~ and something a little further out there,
21:38
this is this is the video for you.
21:40
~ you know, given that that you're growing this audience of yours organically,
21:45
and under your spell being your newest song,
21:47
if some
21:48
Someone has not heard your music before.
21:50
You have a catalog of songs. You've got a whole bunch of videos on YouTube.
21:54
you've got your album, you've put singles out.
21:58
It music, I look at it like, you know,
22:01
a meal, which couple of songs and each of you,
22:05
you know, let's see if let's see who each of you what each of you picks,
22:09
~ would be like your appetizer song if you met someone off the street and said,
22:14
Hey, I'm in this band.
22:16
Start
22:17
with this song. You gotta check this out.
22:19
Which song would it be
22:19
Mmm.
22:20
and why? So Sam, why don't you go first?
22:25
Ooh, I would choose our song Cowboy Caravan because that
22:32
was kind of this ~
22:38
Manifestation of like a circus that Russ and I like a while back were like
22:44
in the desert we like looked up on some rocks,
22:47
we're like, dude, like what if we had crazy people dancing while
22:54
a show was going on in the middle of the desert,
22:57
and then fast forward two years later,
22:59
we come out with an album and there's people in the desert on fire dancing
23:04
to our song and and we kinda we kinda like
23:07
qu or I think Russ and Brad wrote the lyrics to it and it just was like
23:12
a perfect representation of ~ where we were gonna go.
23:17
And we wrote it like a year before it even happened,
23:19
which is just the strangest thing in the world.
23:22
Mm-hmm.
23:23
Nice. Ross,
23:24
how about you?
23:26
That's a good one that I have to agree with that one.
23:31
I mean, that song, it started as a poem and then it kind
23:37
of just evolved into the poem became the lyrics and then the music became kind
23:44
of like you said, a circus-esque,
23:47
almost like Latin sounding ~ beat with like some syrupy aspects to it.
23:54
And yeah, I just...
23:56
I've always felt like that's just an amazing encapsulation of our band.
24:01
There's an energy switch up at the end that kind of goes into more of punk tempo.
24:07
yeah, couldn't agree more with Sam.
24:14
All right. Ty, what which which one would you say ~ people should start with?
24:19
I would say as an appetizer might be a hot take,
24:25
but I would say OODA LALI from the first album.
24:29
It's, I think as
24:32
Wow.
24:33
an appetizer, the job of an appetizer is to
24:38
be easily digestible and to get
24:40
That's a good thing.
24:41
the kind of clear the palette and get you on like a level
24:46
you
24:46
wavelength.
24:48
to be able
24:48
Wow.
24:48
to be prepared for the rest of the meal.
24:50
And I think that song is very digestible.
24:52
And I think that song is very like,
24:53
it's very catchy. And it's just like,
24:55
it's kind of like happy and jolly.
24:57
it's my appetizer would be Uduali.
25:00
The salesman, this guy.
25:01
I like that.
25:04
Nice. Brad, all right, you're last.
25:06
What do you what w which one would your appetizer be?
25:12
Like Tyler was saying, if we're appetizers,
25:14
if we're talking clear in the palate,
25:16
I'm going with a sweater. think,
25:20
Mmm.
25:20
you
25:21
know, a sweater is a little jammy,
25:24
a little psyche. I think it does a good job of showcasing a little bit of funness.
25:30
Don't take yourself too seriously.
25:32
You can play it in the beach, you can play it in the car,
25:34
can play it in the shower. You can move your hips,
25:37
you can shake your lips to it.
25:39
I think it's a good little before.
25:41
before the meal, before you get to the main course,
25:44
before you get to the dessert,
25:46
put on a sweater.
25:48
Well, okay, so I have a question.
25:50
~ how much ~ how many psychedelics did you give to the the fish that were in that?
25:55
I mean, were f any fish harmed during the production of that video?
25:57
Hahaha.
25:58
Hehe.
25:58
Ha!
26:02
We cannot say.
26:02
They weren't episode.
26:02
What was the real what was the relationship
26:04
of the aquatic life to to the song?
26:08
~ well we were just frickin' belly floppin' in some warm water
26:16
somewhere. Yeah.
26:17
Stop right.
26:20
And
26:20
Then
26:21
Russ saw a jellyfish in the water and started filming it.
26:25
It was hitting the same bass tempo.
26:29
That same was hitting with the bass.
26:31
We were out there and we're like,
26:34
let's film a music video for Sweater Out Here.
26:36
It feels like good spot to do it.
26:39
All the plants and the animals and everything have this vibration going
26:46
to it as well.
26:47
The best part is throughout the entire music video,
26:50
all of Sam's dance moves are mimicking fish.
26:54
that's hidden
26:55
Yeah. I was hanging out I was hanging out with that jellyfish for a while.
27:00
theme in the video.
27:02
As long as long as you didn't get attacked by the jellyfish or the sting
27:05
was it a stingray in there, you're okay.
27:06
You're that's that's
27:07
Hahaha
27:07
what matters. safety first, guys.
27:09
Safety first. ~ you guys have to be you have to be able to do this for a long time.
27:13
~
27:13
Hahaha.
27:15
we you know, we live in a world where a lot of people come through our lives
27:20
and ~ make an impact on us in one way or another.
27:24
~ and some people are with us for a short time and make a long-lasting impact.
27:28
And some people are with us for a long time,
27:30
right? ~ eat for each of you,
27:34
is there someone who's come through your life that has a had a monumental impact
27:40
on supporting your musical journey in one way
27:45
you
27:45
or another?
27:47
Ty, how
27:47
Hmm.
27:47
about you?
27:50
wow. I mean, my my family,
27:54
they came to they came to one of our first shows we played at our hometown,
28:00
Benny the Fox. And my family still talks about it today,
28:04
how my sister was just screaming like,
28:06
that's my brother. And then they made like
28:09
Heh.
28:09
they made t shirts that says like,
28:11
that's my brother on it. Now, every time they come to a turkey show,
28:15
they always wear they're like,
28:15
that's my brother t shirts. ~
28:19
Like from the beginning, my family's always been like number one supporters
28:24
of all of this, which has been great.
28:28
That's great. That's great. Sam,
28:30
how 'bout you?
28:31
Yeah, I I'd love to sh shout out also my family,
28:36
but also our friends who come to our shows,
28:41
especially in the beginning when we were playing those three hour sets.
28:44
my buddy Quinn, Sam Joffy,
28:48
~ Alexa Ahmad,
28:51
like all these people came to our shows when and really,
28:55
really enjoyed the environment of
29:00
those first tours and just followed us everywhere,
29:02
that was really something that kept our heads ~ straight and being like,
29:08
Okay, we're not doing this for nothing,
29:09
you know.
29:12
Our friends are having incredible experiences with us,
29:15
you know.
29:17
That's great. That's great. Russ,
29:18
how about you?
29:21
I would actually like to shout out my brother here Bradley for when
29:25
I started getting into making music,
29:28
until this day he's always been the biggest fan of this art I've created
29:34
and the songs I've created and ~ he's helped really just bring those
29:40
to life and making them turkey songs like all these songs that just started
29:46
out as ideas, all these riffs.
29:48
~
29:50
Yeah, big thanks to Bradley. My brother,
29:53
love ya.
29:53
Thank you, brother. Thank you.
29:54
Love you,
29:57
~ huh.
29:57
It's funny you say that, I
29:58
was actually going to say you as well.
30:00
Yeah.
30:01
Wow. I'm gonna cry, man. I'm gonna cry.
30:02
being brothers,
30:03
~ well it's really
30:05
you know, Ross and I are in the same house.
30:08
When we go off for Ross and I are still together all the time.
30:11
I wouldn't be in this position at all if it wasn't for my brother.
30:18
I was about to go sell record players and my brother started playing guitar
30:24
and was like, hey, we need someone to sing.
30:26
So I definitely wouldn't be here at all if it wasn't for him.
30:28
And he's always creatively pushing me with music and with
30:33
art consistently nonstop. And he's just like a waterfall
30:39
of new ideas, new riffs that I just feel blessed to be in the presence of.
30:44
So I love you
30:46
Done.
30:46
brother.
30:47
Thank you,
30:48
I think isn't that great? I think that's fabulous.
30:51
What does you know, I I mean it's hard to believe.
30:54
~ you know, we've we've we've we're
30:58
almost halfway through the middle part of the year.
31:01
And ~ you know, turning turning into the the the end of twenty six gonna
31:06
be here sooner than we can imagine.
31:07
And I live in Dallas, Texas. So as as soon as we can get out of the
31:11
the season of oven would be better.
31:13
~
31:13
my gosh.
31:14
you know, I don't want to rush anything,
31:14
Hahaha
31:16
but it's a little warm. ~ so what is the what does the remainder of the year have
31:20
in store for you guys? You you mentioned ~ work on a new album.
31:24
~ what's what's what's the rest of the writ the year look like?
31:28
Well, we have, we're playing a Fox theater show in August and going on
31:33
a little tour in September of California,
31:35
going to balance it all around the coast.
31:37
~ playing a festival at electric hunting,
31:39
~ which is a music festival in the deserts of Moab.
31:43
And then, big news. This is the first time that we've ever told anyone this,
31:48
but we're planning on moving to San Francisco in October.
31:53
Cool.
31:53
So we got a little move going on there and album,
31:56
the Soul Sugar, our upcoming album will be released at the end of this year as well.
32:01
So a lot of fun stuff coming up for the turkeys.
32:04
We're trotting
32:04
you
32:05
along. It's all gas right now,
32:07
Scott. It's all gas. Pelville to metal.
32:10
I'll gas
32:10
re I'll gas regardless of the price of a gallon.
32:13
Here.
32:14
Exactly. It was a little tough there for a bit.
32:14
Yeah.
32:15
Hahaha
32:16
but for neuron
32:19
in order to afford those gallons,
32:20
you gotta support these guys. Hey,
32:22
look, there's a lot of great music in San ~ San Francisco.
32:25
If when you get out there, you gotta look up ~ Black Gold Sun.
32:29
They are incredible. It's a three-piece
32:31
Black Gold Sun.
32:32
Sweet.
32:33
Glad Black Gold Sun,
32:34
three three piece female punk band,
32:37
they are amazing. They are absolutely absolutely amazing.
32:39
Ooh, we need that.
32:40
Wow.
32:41
Sick.
32:41
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. There's a
32:42
Yeah, we're really excited to explore
32:44
a new scene. We've been in the Denver,
32:47
Colorado scene for a while now.
32:49
We love it out here, but the West is calling us.
32:52
The West is calling us. We need to take charge.
32:55
Head to the ocean, see what awaits.
32:57
Spend all our money. Yeah.
32:58
You gotta you gotta go where life takes you.
33:00
Right. Right.
33:03
Well well ~ you know hopefully maybe you guys will get around to Texas
33:07
at some point. Would love to see you here in the Dallas area if I can't
33:09
get out of town to to
33:10
Yeah.
33:11
to come see you guys perform. I mean,
33:12
just everybody I can't say enough.
33:14
I I I I saw my Instagram and I'm like,
33:17
I I gotta meet these guys. I gotta understand how this came together.
33:23
~ and I definitely want to see one of those three hour shows for sure.
33:26
~ because you get more you probably get more bang for your buck
33:30
in performance now than than other people who are putting on three hour shows
33:34
who are also using oxygen. So totally,
33:36
Thanks.
33:38
totally ~ worth ~ getting out to see them.
33:39
Okay.
33:42
Yeah, yeah.
33:42
~ hopefully I'll get a chance to as well.
33:45
~ you mentioned, you know, not going viral ~ that yet.
33:51
It'll happen.
33:52
Yet.
33:52
soon.
33:53
How do you feel about, you know,
33:55
you you s you had a love of music and you started doing this for the music,
33:59
but now you have to be these content creators,
34:02
right? Do you find it challenging?
34:04
Do you find it something you enjoy,
34:06
or is it absolute drudgery? What's your what's your sentiment?
34:10
Yeah, I mean initially we when we first started the band we
34:14
we definitely rejected all of it and we're like this is not what it's about.
34:17
It's about the music. It's about the live experience,
34:20
the rawness of live music. ~ But you know we've we've come around to it and
34:28
we realized the ~ benefit of using it as
34:32
a tool and almost, I mean,
34:36
it's kind of essential these days.
34:39
~ And so, I mean,
34:42
yeah, Sam and I both have media production backgrounds
34:46
and video editing backgrounds.
34:47
So, you know, we just kind of put our own spin on it and made it fun.
34:53
It's still definitely a doozy at times.
34:57
to keep up with, but we like to have fun with it.
35:01
Yeah, and also
35:02
So so
35:04
I'm sorry, Sam.
35:06
also like a lot of this stuff is pretty authentic.
35:09
I mean, we've tried to do trends before and it's just
35:14
not not really our thing.
35:17
work.
35:17
~
35:18
but Brad's Brad is also an illustrator.
35:21
So like all the posters he makes are all hand drawn,
35:24
so we we stick very much so to the human
35:29
~ aspects of of art as much as we can and posting art a lot.
35:35
on our Instagram is is definitely different from a lot of bands.
35:41
Let's let's talk
35:41
~
35:42
There's a sentiment of, Scott,
35:44
~
35:45
No, no, keep get going. Right.
35:48
just to touch on what Russ, what the guys are saying a bit.
35:51
In the beginning, there was that rejection.
35:54
And then I think we all realized that,
35:56
yes, this is a band and the point is to make music,
35:59
but it's also a brand and people have to buy into your brand.
36:03
And back in the day, there was marketing teams surrounding
36:07
our favorite artists and...
36:09
helping them put out music and now it's our job to do that.
36:13
So we really sat down and we're like,
36:14
all right, what is the brand of the dirty turkeys?
36:16
How do we want to be perceived?
36:17
And once we started looking at it in those,
36:21
in that aspect, it became much more fun and easier to do where,
36:26
you know, like Sam was saying,
36:27
we don't have to do a trend just because it's blowing up.
36:29
Like we can just film ourselves on tour and Russ can make a video of
36:33
it and people resonate with it because
36:37
they're not on tour and that's like something interesting.
36:39
You know, think over trial and error ~ over the past couple of years,
36:43
we began to honestly kind of enjoy it more than it be as much of a burden.
36:50
Yeah, it's it's it's definitely ~ it's become a hamster wheel that that
36:55
you know musicians get stuck on,
36:57
right? ~ so better
36:58
Yeah.
36:58
that it's a it it's enjoyable and it's great.
37:01
Look, as a as someone who got a degree in filmmaking,
37:04
guys, Sam and and and Russ,
37:08
I I totally can understand those are great skills to have.
37:11
Plus it's not it's not bad for plan B if something else happens.
37:15
Surely. ~
37:16
but you talked about keeping the human in the art.
37:20
And that really, that really w leads me to want to wanna dive into something,
37:25
which is what are you, what's your sentiment on embracing the technology these days
37:31
that has come around, the use of,
37:33
you know, whether it's whether whether it is ~ technology that
37:38
can change and enhance your sound or ~ AI,
37:42
what are your feelings about bringing that mechanical piece into the human side
37:48
of your art?
37:53
I
37:53
I
37:53
really I think I mean, we talk we talk about it all the time,
37:57
where I think over the next decade,
37:59
we're gonna see we're gonna see more change in the world in the next decade than
38:03
we have over the last like, 100 years.
38:05
And especially from like a technical technological standpoint.
38:12
And I think there's, there's a big surge of like,
38:17
people are going crazy over these like AI videos.
38:19
And, you know, like all this, all this kind of
38:23
artificial stuff. And I think there will be a big boom of like artificial
38:29
art and it'll seep its way into the art world for I would say like
38:35
two to three years where people it's still shocking and it's still new
38:39
but I think eventually people are gonna get sick
38:44
of ~ artificially produced art and they're gonna crave human produced art.
38:51
And I think that's really going to be an avenue where we're going to
38:54
be able to capitalize really well on like when people are all of sudden like,
38:58
wow, we miss seeing four dudes on a stage playing their instruments,
39:03
you know?
39:07
Yeah, no, I agree. I mean, it's it,
39:09
you know, it's I think the one of one of the things that that that really pulled
39:14
me into your music is the mix of sound,
39:18
the cultural mix of the genres,
39:20
and it's not vanilla.
39:23
And it's so hard with so much content and so much music created these days.
39:29
Because, you know, for what it's worth,
39:32
you can, you know, you can sit around with a computer and make whatever you want.
39:35
But
39:37
You guys are are really Neapolitan.
39:39
And I think that's that is the ultimate goal,
39:42
right? How do you how do you keep yourself separated from the vanilla all the time?
39:48
And I think that's you know, that's the challenge.
39:48
Um, I also think that's
39:50
a reason that we haven't like blown up yet is because it,
39:54
it, it isn't vanilla and it's not easily digestible for everyone.
39:59
But I think that's, that's why we admire the Jesus Christ taxi driver guys as well.
40:03
Cause they're, they're true to their craft as well.
40:05
And they're not making music to appease the masses and neither are we.
40:09
And yeah, right now, you know,
40:11
we're not the biggest band in the world because of that.
40:14
I think over time staying true to that.
40:18
authentic sound in your vision will pay off tenfold.
40:25
And I think, you know, the Peter Drucker,
40:28
~ godfather of modern business,
40:30
said consistency is the key to all economic success.
40:33
I'd like to take it one step further.
40:35
Consistency is the key to all success.
40:37
Stick with your guns,
40:38
Mmm.
40:39
do what you feel is right, do it consistently,
40:42
and you'll attract the right people to it.
40:44
The people who should
40:45
Mm-hmm.
40:45
be there, the people
40:46
Beautifully said.
40:46
who go who'll go along for the ride.
40:48
Yeah,
40:49
I like to think about, ~ I feel like there's been
40:54
a shift ~ with musicians and artists in general in the past.
40:59
wanted to be great. They wanted to have a legacy.
41:03
They wanted to be great. And now people just want to be famous.
41:07
People just want to have quick fame.
41:09
~ But that's something I always like to return to is what will be remembered for
41:16
Many years to come like it doesn't it doesn't matter for that We're
41:19
not blowing up right now or anything like that of that sort But if I think that like
41:24
you were saying if we stick to what we're doing and be organic
41:28
to ourselves authentic to ourselves ~ That's the most important thing
41:33
of being but being remembered
41:36
Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. You guys are gonna get there.
41:39
I have no doubt. ~ especially because everybody who sees this is gonna
41:42
go out and see you. that's number
41:44
Haha.
41:44
one, and
41:44
number two, they're gonna they're gonna buy your music.
41:46
~
41:48
Let's let's talk about this though.
41:49
~ I love putting good things out into the world.
41:52
I think I think a lot of times we keep things inside of our head too long
41:57
and we don't share enough to to get the things that we really want
42:00
to do and accomplish out there.
42:02
And you know, sometimes we hold it a little too close to the vest.
42:04
So I'm always interested in in the answer to this question.
42:07
And I'm gonna start I'm gonna start with Sam and I'll go down the line.
42:10
But if there was an artist
42:13
That you had a chance to get in a studio with for a day,
42:16
each of you, and be creative with.
42:18
You could learn from them, you could write a lyric with them,
42:23
jam with them, whatever that experience is.
42:26
Who would that artist be and why is it on the top of your list?
42:31
Sam, you go first.
42:34
I would choose Angus Stone and the Dope Lemon Guys,
42:38
~ and girls Julia Stone as well.
42:43
Because it's actually kind of tangible.
42:46
They have a studio and I really,
42:49
really enjoy how his engineers record drums and
42:55
how they approach music. I think it's kind of some of the greatest listen
43:03
music that's come out in a very long time.
43:07
You can put on his album from front to back and just chill.
43:11
He's a genius.
43:13
I'm gonna have to check
43:13
them out. I I I miss records that were made for front to back listening because
43:20
everything has become we live in this single world.
43:22
So I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna make a note and and listen to some of that.
43:24
Ty, who's who would it be for you?
43:28
impact question. have so many names going through my head right now.
43:31
But I would definitely say my number one would be Stu McKenzie from King
43:38
Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard.
43:40
Yeah.
43:41
He produces
43:41
Have a good one.
43:45
BeyBrainbows music and they run P-Doom records and you know,
43:49
that circle of people just produces such
43:57
unheard of music and art, like,
44:00
and they do it all themselves.
44:01
And it's unbelievably if you have even seen the video of them,
44:06
that of them recording ~
44:10
~ it was it was like the dripping tap,
44:13
I think one of their one of their songs,
44:15
there's like this video on YouTube of them recording it and they did they have this
44:19
thing where they like recorded Stu's grandma saying something and it like made
44:22
it in the final mix of the song or like they just they just have a really good time
44:26
in the studio and all ideas fly and it's like nothing is nothing is
44:31
too crazy to like try, you know,
44:33
that's where I really want to
44:33
~
44:34
get is like any idea is worth a try,
44:38
you know.
44:39
And I feel like that's kind of the world that they live in,
44:41
which I admire.
44:44
if you if you don't try, you don't get any result.
44:46
So you can either play it safe or you can just put it out there and
44:48
see where it lands, right?
44:50
Yeah.
44:51
Yeah. Well, Brad, how about you?
44:53
Who would yours be?
44:56
It's a tough one. I'd honestly have to go,
44:59
~ based out of LA. And then Cisco Adler,
45:04
he's a, he's a producer based out of LA.
45:07
He's got some songs that's Shwazy.
45:09
And, I think that his recording style would fit very well with the turkeys.
45:16
And, ~ I like the kind of energy and stuff that he puts out.
45:21
He's done stuff with like Wiz Khalifa and Mike Posner and stuff.
45:24
And I think it would give the turkeys a.
45:26
kind of a unique kind of sound to kind of try to go a direction like that.
45:32
Nice. Nice. And Russ, how about you?
45:37
~ I feel like these are all very tangible answers.
45:40
So, ~ I would probably say, ~ this there's this guy named Jonathan Rado,
45:46
who was a part of this duo called Foxygen.
45:49
And he produced all of their records and their records have always inspired
45:56
me to experiment and, and, you know,
45:59
just go crazy. And, ~ yeah,
46:03
I would love to work with him.
46:04
I think our band could.
46:06
make some really cool stuff with that guy and he's around,
46:09
he still records with bands. So that would be awesome,
46:13
What up?
46:13
putting that
46:13
Whoa.
46:14
out into the air.
46:16
Our our audience knows what to do then.
46:16
Or the yellow, what's the yellows
46:17
days guy? What's the yellow day?
46:19
Yellow days guys name? Yeah,
46:20
~ George. Yeah,
46:21
Charge.
46:22
yeah. The singer
46:23
that'd be cool.
46:25
and producer for yellow days. You definitely be up there as well.
46:30
And the stingrays.
46:33
There you go, you got a bonus.
46:34
Now the audience knows what to
46:35
Haha
46:35
do. If
46:36
you know any of these people, if you are,
46:38
if you went to school with them,
46:40
if you went to school with their kids,
46:41
if you walk their dog, if you pick up their dry cleaning,
46:44
if you cut their lawn, whatever,
46:46
however you're connected to them,
46:48
Ha ha!
46:48
we gotta make some magic happen for the dirty turkeys.
46:51
So
46:51
Ha ha ha.
46:53
you have you have been you
46:53
.
46:54
have been charged and warned to go out and make this stuff happen.
46:58
~ we we you know.
47:02
We are big believers in supporting artists.
47:04
So so as I said earlier, you're gonna find the links below.
47:07
They've got well, you guys got one or two albums that I forget currently.
47:10
There's an album and an VP, which what is it?
47:12
I'm AbomininEP
47:12
Yeah, we
47:13
got one full album and one EP out right now.
47:16
And and another one in the works.
47:16
Couple singles in there too.
47:17
Go
47:19
out and purchase their music. And if you are fortunate enough to you
47:23
see that the turkeys are coming to town,
47:25
buy tickets, I can't even begin to imagine what kind of batshit crazy merch these
47:31
guys have. Because they talked about shake
47:32
Hahaha
47:33
showing up and shaking your tail feathers.
47:35
And I hope you guys are selling selling some tail feathers.
47:37
maybe, maybe with the
47:37
Mm-hmm.
47:38
Ha
47:38
Hahaha.
47:39
band logo on them. I don't know.
47:40
But support them.
47:42
It's gonna cost some money for them to move to San Francisco.
47:45
It costs money to tour. It costs money to make music.
47:47
Okay. Okay.
47:49
All of those things need your support.
47:51
So the links are gonna be below.
47:53
~ as we kind of slide into home base here and and wind things down,
47:58
you know, obviously you're making music because you're passionate.
48:04
about music and you love music.
48:06
And I'm always fascinated with who people listen to when they're
48:10
not making their own music. Whether it's someone that influences them
48:14
or it's someone that just
48:14
enough
48:15
brings a calmness and peace to the world.
48:17
Right. Who I'm gonna go down the line again and I'm gonna start with Russ this time.
48:22
So I'm gonna put him on the on the on the ~ on the spot.
48:26
~
48:27
Tell me about a band that you're like,
48:29
if we're just sitting around having a beer,
48:30
you're Scott, you gotta check these people out.
48:32
This is a great artist, it's a great band.
48:34
I love him. Here's why you gotta put your ears to him.
48:37
And I can tell already, look, I know Russ is gonna pick Tay Tay because
48:42
he totally comes off as a Swifty and he's really in recovery over this whole wedding
48:42
Okay.
48:43
Hahaha.
48:44
Hahaha
48:47
thing,
48:47
but Russ.
48:51
Who's somebody you're listening to other than Taylor Swift?
48:54
Because she gets enough publicity and we've only mentioned her three times now,
48:57
~ that you really dig when you're out.
48:59
Maybe you go to the gym, maybe you go for a walk,
49:01
maybe you meditate, whatever. Who's who's somebody you're listening
49:04
to that you think I should put my ears on?
49:06
I'll probably put you on Ravi Shankar if you haven't already been exposed to that
49:11
yeah.
49:12
fine lad. Yeah, that music,
49:16
mean the sitar especially has always just brought me back
49:21
to earth and reminded me who I am.
49:25
So I always return to that music.
49:29
I like that. I like that. Yes.
49:31
One of the one of the greats. ~ Brad,
49:34
how about you?
49:38
Harry Nielsen, big fan of Harry Nielsen,
49:41
big fan of his short film, The Point.
49:44
His music brings me utter peace and I love his kind of whimsicalness mixed with
49:52
his four octane voice and orchestra and his songwriting style.
49:58
I'm a big fan of, big, big fan.
50:01
I've been listening to him about every day for the last couple months.
50:03
you
50:04
So Harry Nielsen's top for me.
50:08
You know what, I if he had ever changed his name to something else,
50:12
I don't think the only other
50:13
Ha
50:13
name he could have had was Joy.
50:15
Cause that's what I get from his music.
50:16
Yeah, seriously. Yeah. The Beatles loved
50:17
Yeah
50:18
A lot of joy. A lot of joy.
50:19
Ha ha.
50:20
him. People called him the fifth Beatle.
50:22
He inspired a lot of the Beatles songs.
50:25
I feel like he's very underrated,
50:27
and at least our generation. yeah,
50:30
big, big, big fan.
50:33
I love that. Ty, how about you?
50:37
I mean, I might be shockingly,
50:42
but the majority of the music that I listen to on my downtime is there's
50:46
not drums in it. ~ Shockingly,
50:50
but I love folk and I love like bluegrass.
50:55
And we just played with, actually have their vinyl,
50:59
but this band, The Last Wild Buffalo,
51:00
I got a vinyl from them ~ this last weekend,
51:04
but.
51:05
They like if you want to talk about front to back no skip albums,
51:09
their first record and I haven't really I haven't I haven't been home with
51:15
my record player yet. So I haven't been able to listen to this one yet.
51:19
But their first album is one of the most incredible albums I've ever heard
51:22
in my life. like they're just they're just this little
51:26
Okay.
51:27
folk band from like southern Utah.
51:29
And it's really cool
51:30
Thank
51:31
because now we're friends with them and like,
51:32
you know,
51:34
like we just played with them last weekend but genuinely not even like trying
51:38
to shout out my friends like they are one of my favorite bands I've ever heard
51:41
in my life.
51:42
you
51:43
That's
51:43
awesome. I'm gonna have to check him out.
51:44
How about Sam? Sam, how about you?
51:47
I there is a band currently in New York City called Persona
51:54
Seven Four Nine and they have some of the craziest rock and roll music.
52:01
I don't even know what to call it,
52:02
but they have some of the craziest music I've heard.
52:06
And they are all about our age,
52:09
which is just very impressive.
52:12
And yeah, shout out to that band.
52:15
They're
52:16
Some of their music is just mind blowing.
52:20
I'll check them out. What timing?
52:22
Somebody's at the door. Is it an Amazon package?
52:24
~ is it is it a delivery? Guys,
