• 2:02
  Speaker 4: Like you played birth Ristvan Adelaide in Melbourne so far,
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: rich Town has been the loudest.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: For sure.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, oh yeah, I didn't even editate.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: They were insane. And also I mean we played the
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Forum too, which was one of the most beautiful venues
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: I've ever seen. So it was just a very magical night.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: We'll see if Sidney brings it tonight. I think they will,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I would say Melbourne for sure, or is
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: in America say Melbourne Melbourne?
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah? Every time someone says that, I think a child.
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: But so if anybody who might have missed out on
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: your show so far, or he's on the fence about
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: going tonight, like ron Esster, a typical Bill Murray live
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: show and what to expect, uh do.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: You can't really know what to expect, Honestly. You can
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: expect us to bring a lot of energy and for
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: the crowd to be amazing because everyone that comes to
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Bill Murray shows they are great people. So you'll probably
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: make some friends and you'll hear some fucking sick riffs
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: and some good vibes.
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: Steve Nice Nice Now, have you had time to get
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: out and see the sights way you've been Hi made
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: or has.
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: It just been all stages and hotel rooms.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Where should I go?
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: Man? I have not Well right, I'm in Brisbane, mate,
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: So if you're still in Brizi, I'll be able to
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: take you wherever you wanted to go.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: But Sydney I don't think much about.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: We haven't really been able to go much spend hotels
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: and airplanes and all that. But I mean, you know,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: getting to eat food here, Your guys' food is incredible,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: So I've I've done a food tour of Australia.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: That's it up.
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: People out there might know you better from your time
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: and Attack Attack, but you've been doing Bill Murray now
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: since twenty sixteen, mate, So what made you decide to
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: start this project as opposed to joining an insisting band
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: back then?
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Because I'm a selfish, egotistic, narcissistic man. Reason But no,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: I well, I mean to be honest with you, I
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: like having control over everything. So that was a big
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: thing where It's like I felt like a lot of
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: times I would always be fighting someone to have something.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: You know, I'm like, I think this idea is good
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: and I don't want to have to fight a bunch
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: of people to like do it.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: I just want to do it.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: So I think that was like a lot of the
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: beginning of Bill Murray is just kind of, you know,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: making exactly what I want to do, how I want
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: to do it, and you know, having that final say,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: maybe having a little bit more control than I did
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: previously in other projects.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: Felt really good.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: So that and then I just felt like I had,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: you know, things to get off my chest emotionally and
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: all that, So figure, why not start start a project where.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: I can do that.
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you've been called a genre defining band in terms
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: of your music, but is that something that you set
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: out to do or is it just the way things
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: panned out for your music?
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Clean honestly kind of try to just make things that
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: make me happy, and you know it's not going to
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: usually exist in one genre or another or you know,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: whatever it is. I kind of just try to make
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: something that I enjoy and let people define it how
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: they want to.
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and you've pleased forteen albums in those eight years, mate,
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: So if I'm doing the math correctly, you shoot up
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: in your album coming out next week or the week.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: After, We'll see man, you'll have to be able to
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: say too. And we've got some stuff cooking, though.
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: Maybe you've always been start prolific creatively mat or is
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: that something that's coming to age.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: So I I've always been like, I'm always creating things
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: because where I live is a shittle so I get
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: bored a lot, and I just like, you know, it
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: to be a Saturday night and there's nothing going on,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: so I'm just gonna go make music because that's the
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: most one thing I can do in the moment.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: So I'm kind of always doing that. But I haven't
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: made always been music for myself.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: I've produced for ten years in between Attack Attack and
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: Bill Murray for other people and kind of built that
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: skill up and now, you know, kind of switched over
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: to be able to use that skill for myself. But yeah,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm always making something because I get bored easily.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: So that's the way to cure boredom.
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: Touch on this before, But you bringing a lot of
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: stars and genres together, from metal, chord and pop park
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: indie rock, there's electronics, toutry. Music's in there, ture, But
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: how hard is it to get that balance ride into
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: creative process? Like how do you know when you're going
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: too far one way or maybe not far enough another direction.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's definitely a lot of bang in your head
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: against the wall force because you don't want, you know,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: if you're gonna do like country, you don't want it
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: to feel inauthentic. You want it to feel like you know,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: I care about this genre. I'm not trying to like
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: slap a cowboy hat on something and call it country.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to like actually pay respects to the genre
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: because I love it. So there's definitely that. I mean, like,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: I spend a lot of time, you know, adjusting things
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: slightly because I do feel like it's kind of a
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: tight rope walk to make things feel authentic too. I
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: don't know, this song will tell you what it wants.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: And the song sometimes it yells and sometimes it whispers.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: But uh, you know, as long as you're keeping your
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: ego away from it and trying to pay attention to
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: what it wants, you know you can give it that.
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: All right, now, we mentioned this is your last show
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: in Australia tonight, bro, So what's next for Bill Murray?
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: Mate? What do you got planned after a Shia?

  Speaker 1: A lot of festivals in the States. We've got some
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: music coming as well. But you know, we wanted some
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: thick riffs before we hit all these summer dates.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: So we've got some music.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: I got to do the cryptic thing for you that
