• 0:46
  Speaker 5: So how do you feeling about it?
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: I'm feeling very, very excited, Chris. It's probably you know,
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: this is the most excited I've been about anything I've
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: put out into the world, you know, alongside my brothers,
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: and it is.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: I sat down last night and gave the album a
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: listen myself, just to sort of just get a refresh
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: on okay, like, yeah, this this feels big, and this
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: this feels like a definitive moment in Ocean GROW's career,
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: and I just I just want to, you know, soak
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: that in a little bit after having not listened to
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: it for a bit and heard it a million times
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: working on the studio and gave it that space, and
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: now I've revisited thinking like, holy fuck, like this this
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: this has some power to it.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: No I really think that it's it's our best work.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: It's it's Ocean Grove operating on all cylinders and there's
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: something there for everyone. It's taking all that all that
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: was great about everything that we've done up until this
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: point and fusing it with this newfound childlike excitement for
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: the future and just that just that stamp of this
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: is certified ocean Grove like and you better be here
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: for it.
• 2:06
  Speaker 5: How are you rather now?
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: Can you dive into it a bit deeper musically for
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: us and tell us what you're going for?
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: So, I think with the journey of the last few
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: years and the last couple of albums, we have very
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: much extended our reach as far as I think we
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: felt we could sonically, and that's been a really fun
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: experimental process. And I think now that we are three
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: albums deep and heading into the fourth, it just it
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: felt like the perfect opportunity to round out that circle
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: and bring that journey home to it sort of yeah,
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: to its roots, and that was very much That was
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: one of the key aspects when we set out to
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: create this album, was like, let's let's create an album that.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: Is a return to home and a return to the roots.
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: Of Ocean Grove, and I think we very much achieved that,
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: and that that was very much guided by the fact
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: that we as individuals were operating in such close quarters
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: like we haven't done since the times of Black Label,
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: since the inception of sort of the Rhapsody tapes. And
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: it's been so great to just be hanging out as mates,
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: all all together. Because it's not to say that we
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: haven't had, you know, all of us involved in some
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: degree all the way along anyway, it's just this is
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: the first time.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: That we went, no, we're going to get together. You know.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: We got an airbnb, We hung out for a week
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: at a place that had no distractions, had a table,
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: tennis table, and that was about it. And we were
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: just together, hanging out as mates first and foremost, mucking
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: around and writing a bit of music on the side.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: And that's exactly how this band started. And I think
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: that energy and that reminder that we're at our best
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: when we are just together and collaborating and allowing all
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: of our our ideas to come together and fuse into
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: into what we you know, call Ocean Grove and odd
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: world music. And I guess we realized that we can't
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: we can't fake that, we can't replicate that without doing
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: exactly what we have.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: Ocean Grove is is.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: The amalgamation of all of us putting our ideas together.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: And and it might seem you know, abstracts or like
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: one person's ideas coming from this side of the table
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: and the.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: Other should never go together.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: But I think a song like rain Drop is a
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: perfect example of you know, this sort of full o
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: g odd Well collective mindset that I'm referring to, because
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: that's that's Luke coming in from a you know, a
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: studio member perspective. He's had a massive role in sort
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: of writing this album, and then you know Twiggy, Twiggy
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: coming forward with some of his ideas and you can
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: kind of listen to that song and see see where
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: those those stegments are and just like the fun that
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: we've had in making those weave together, and so there
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: was very much.
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well that's actually a perfect segue to my next question, brocas.
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: I had the pleasure a listening to the album before
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: this chat, and you guys have absolutely nailed it from
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: every conceivable angle, bro, Like, well done, but it's got
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: You've covered so many different genres and so many different
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: feelings over the record, but it's still got a nice
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: flow to it, Like it doesn't seem like anything's out
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: of place and anything's disjointed, Like was that how much time,
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: I guess and how much work did you put into
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: getting that cohesion flow?
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: That's definitely a that's a really fun like element to
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: the creative process with Ocean Grove. I think it does
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: go beyond just right, we're going to write a bunch
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: of hits and it's all going to be on this
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: you know, full length.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: Album, and as long as the singles are in there
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: that that doesn't really matter. You know that That's never
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: been our approach.
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: It's it's always been about creating a journey like experience
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: for the listener. And yeah, I'm really proud of the
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: journey that this album has in and of itself. But
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: also it's it's sort of, you know, its ability to
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: complement everything that's preceded it. I think that's a really
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: cool aspect to it. So you can listen to Ocean
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: growthrom start to finish, or you can listen to a
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: certain album and then jump to to Odd World and
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: it's just it's just a continuation of you know this,
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: this journey and this mixtape style approach that we have
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: kind of taken forever we are, so we can't sit
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: still with such an ADHD you know minded band that
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: there's always so many angles and so many different sounds
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: and genres that we're trying to experiment with that sometimes
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: it does still hard to think, oh, how is this
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: all going to be? How's it's all going to be
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: cohesive and work? But sitting down once we have a
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: lot of these songs and actually toying with that journey
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: and that that playlist and how that's going to feel
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: going from one song into the next, and that the
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: the ebbs and flows and the peaks and the valleys
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: that you can work with when you have such dynamics is.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: It's really it's really fun. Honestly.
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: You have to put yourself into the mindset of of
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: your twelve year old self and what that what that
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: kid would would want to hear if they if they
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: did have thirty forty minutes jumping on a BMX and
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: writing down the road, or you know, going into a U,
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: you know, into a shed with a couple of mates
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: and chucking an album on and just wanting, wanting, it
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: to just compliment whatever whatever you were doing in life.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: And I think there's something very beautiful to that.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: And if it can be a journey from start to
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: finish and someone can step away and be like holy fuck,
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: Like that is so synonymous with that experience that I've
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: had all that time in my life.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's power to that.
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, But in their creative process, pro like, how do
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: you know when you've gone too far in one direction
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: or maybe you're not far enough? Like if you've got
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: parameters that you said, or do you just do you
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: just keep nothing it doubt till it comes good.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: I think I think that we've that's sort of what
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: we've done in the last I guess couple of albums
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: we've we've we've stretched out tether to see see how
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: much we could get away with and that that's a
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: really that's a really great position to come from leading
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: into an album like this because it puts a lot
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: of those questions to bed of like, oh, well, what
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: you know, but what.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: Else haven't we tried yet?
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: What have we you know, experimented with We had a
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: lot of confidence being like, you know, we feel at
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: home bringing it back to this very heavy new metal
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: sound that is kind of at the origins of ocean growth,
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: because we already have branched out and explore those other
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: territories and have that in the back pocket, and now
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: we can come back and return to this sound that
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: we we know when we perform live, resonates with us
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: the most and feels the most authentic and feels just
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: the most joyous to play. And I think we feel
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: that on the other side of the barrier too with
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: our fans. It's just that when we're playing these these
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: sort of definitive og grooves and riffs and choruses, and
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: it's that that bounce and that energy that we bring
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: to the live show, realized, oh, you know, all these
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: little elements that we've kind of added into the odd
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: world music genre all does work. But now now that
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: we've got that breadth, we can kind of channelent, channelent, focus.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: It a little bit more.
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: And I think that's very much what this this album is.
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: It's a it's a it's a mature it's a maturation
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: of everything that we've done. And instead of instead of
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: being like, oh, we've got to keep pushing the boundary's
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: got to keep being different and keep you know, doing
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: something that we've never done before. I think we've we've
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: had the liberation of doing that for two albums and
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: now it's time to bring it home.
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, So over the whole journey made like we're so
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: much experimenting and pushing yourselves musically. Like, what would you
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: say the biggest things you've learned about yourself and your
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: music have been over that period.
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: One thing would be that you know this is and
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: always will be a team effort and that no one, yeah,
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: no individual can can do do it all and that
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: that's such a nice thing to confide in.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: Is that is it? You know, it's it is.
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: A joint venture and we are the closest of mates
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: and friends in this process because it can be you know,
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: it's not it's not easy too to keep pushing the
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: boundaries knowing that you don't know what's necessarily going to
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: come from it, especially especially in a career, in a
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: career sense, having gone through, you know, a couple of
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: years of lockdown and all the uncertainties that came into that,
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: and what you know.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: The last four years, I'll be honest, I've.
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: Just been a real uphill battles ever since that happened.
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: You know, Blit Phone Fantasy came out a week before
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: we kind of went into lockdown, and that really slashed
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: so many plans and hopes and dreams and had to
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: sort of start from the ground up again. And that
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: that was a really hard thing to do, having having
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: just gone through the process of you know, working out
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: this new lineup and what that was going to sound
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: like and what that was going to look like. It
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: really put everything on hold for a bit. And and
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: so now it's just it's so nice to be in
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: a place where there is excitement.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: In the air again.
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: There's momentum, there is a brotherhood amongst us that is
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: tighter than ever, and I just I just don't think
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: we could have got through those difficult times without without
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: having each other's backs. And I think, yeah, there was
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: the temptation to feel isolated and alone in those times
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: and to feel like, fuck, like, you know, just is
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: this is this all that there is? And and that
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: that friendship I'm so grateful for and that ability for
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: us to come out the other side and to be, yeah,
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: to be more of a unified force than we have
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: been in a very long time. It's shown me the
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: power and the value of friendship at the core of
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: this band and what we do, and that when you're
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: rating from that place, the experimental, artistic, creative side of
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: things is just that just plays out itself like that
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: doesn't need any any further attention because all the other
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: cogs are turning, you know, the sort of the energy
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: is there and you just need to, as I said,
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: put yourselves in the room together and just allow the
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: magic to flow.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: And that's exactly what's happened. Yes, right now.
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: I guess the only negative with Odd World Made is
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: because it's so eclectic. How the hell are you going
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: to pick singles to release that represent the album? Because
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: not one song on there you could release and say
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: this is what do we expect from the album?
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, no, exactly.
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: We we we find ourselves sometimes reflecting on previous albums
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: and thinking, ah, like, imagine what how would have been
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: different if we'd released that song as a single and
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: thead like would have would have been received differently?
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: Or you know, no good in dwelling on the past.
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: But it is an interesting thing where it's not so
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: ever clean, clean cut with us. It's not it's not
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: just that's that's clearly the single and those are clearly
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: not I think with this album it was, you know,
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: the approach was very much okay. I think it's a
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: no brainer to approach with the first couple of songs
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: really indicating that hey, you know, we're back with this
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: heavy sound.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: And that's not just going to be a one off.
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: So we'll give you a couple.
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: Just to reassure you that you know we are we
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: are playing funny buggers and you know that that was clear,
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: So that that sort of ticked off the first the
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: first two and then you know, releasing rain Drop, it
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: just sort of it felt like, Okay, that's a really
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: nice change up on on the sort of the sound
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: that people have been shown so far.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: And then as for as for what we have, you know,
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: it's still yet to come in terms of singles.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: I think it's very much just that approach.
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: Again, it's like, okay, we've covered two bases, like where
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: else what is the other far extension of the odd
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: world that that still needs to be highlighted? And I'm
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: really excited for this next single coming up. I think
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: it's it's it's a it's a brand of of of
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: the Odd World that we have delved into on each
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: record to some capacity, but I think this is finally
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: the time where the one that I'm maybe most proud
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: of and most excited to perform live, and I think
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: is going to be a very very powerful yeah song
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: that a lot of people universally will.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: Will connect to.
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: So Yeah, as much as the album is very much
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: about ensuring that there's that journey and that flow, I
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: think in terms of the single approach, it's just about
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: more so keeping people on their on their toes and yeah, yeah,
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: not knowing what to expect, like that's that's that that
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: that fun part of the lead up. So I hope
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: people are excited for what's to come. Yeah, there's a
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: bit of everything.
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: Brother. Now you've speaking of live, You've got a few
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: shows coming up. You've got one in Brisbane I'm not
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: chob to fourth, Sydney on the fifth, and Melbourne I'm
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: October six, So tell us about them.
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so they are. I'm really excited for these shows.
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: We're bringing out our mates Pale Dusk from Japan, which
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: is which is really their their They're a great band
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: and yeah, I'm super honored to have played alongside them
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: a few times. Now so that that that's just the
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: perfect compliment to the odd world. You know, I think
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: what they're doing is so great. And then also Inertia.
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: You know, it's probably a story that I'll share when
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: I'm on stage. But Mark Mark, the guitarist of Inertia,
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: is a longtime friend, and when we were first touring
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: and passing through Sydney, he'd always give us a place
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: to stay.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: And we're talking, you know, ten ten plus years ago.
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: This is at a time at a time where we
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: couldn't afford, you know, to stay at hotels or anything
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: like that, and we'll playing our sort of first into
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: state shows and this you know Mark, or we know
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: him fondly as Sharky.
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: It was always a floor to sleep on.
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: And sometimes it would be we'd be rocking up after
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: a show at one two in the morning and he'd
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: already be asleep, and it'd just be a living room
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: with blankets and pillows or whatever, and it was sort
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: of just to make self at home energy. And then
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: we'd wake up and he'd already left for work, and
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: we kind of get up and you know, grab our
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: things and brush our teeth and head off.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: You lock the door behind us, and it was like, who's.
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: This guy that like we barely even know, we don't
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: we just crashed his house, haven't even seen him.
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: But he's just got so much trust and so much.
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: Heart to just do that for, you know, for another
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: person or another group of people, and and and so
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: he's in inertia and it's just such a nice full
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: circle moment to be like, here we are ten years
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: later and we get to now not only share the
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: stage once, but be on a tour together.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: And you know, it's almost us.
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: Repaying that that that moment of like you you always
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: giving us, you know, your your home, and now it's
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: our chance to sort of bring you into ours. And
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: so I think that's that's a really beautiful moment for me.
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: So I'm really excited about the lineup for one.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: Two.
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: It's a it's an all ages gig for two of
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: the three shows, so that's a that's a massive first too.
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: So yeah, Melbourne and yeah, Brizzy, I'm fairly sure other
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: two all ages shows. And you know, my got a
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: couple of nephews coming along to the Melbourne show and
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: and we you know, we really love seeing the younger
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: generation the shows as much as we love seeing the
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: current and the older and everything in between.
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: That the shows too.
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: I think that's that's that's where we like to We
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: do pride ourselves on the fact that ocean growth can be.
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: For anybody and everybody, and that there.
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: Are influences and sounds there that are from you know,
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: nineteen fifty to twenty fifty. It doesn't matter, it doesn't
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: matter what what you're into. That just comes to the
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: show and experience. It's the energy that kind.
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: Of that you feel when you enter an OG show
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: and enter the odd world. Is that.
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we create an energy that just supersedes the need
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: to be like, oh I I'm into I'm into punk
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: or I'm into harcore only like, well, it doesn't it doesn't,
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: that doesn't matter, You don't need to question that. It's yeah,
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: it's the energy that you're coming for, and it's going
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: to be a hell of a time. I think we
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: haven't we haven't really headlined since especially you know, major cities.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: We haven't really done.
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: Since our last headline tour back in twenty twenty two.
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: There's been some regional tours and we've been support some
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: you know, festivals and all this cool stuff. But when
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: it comes to an actual og show, major city headline
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: kind of, this is our chance to curate the experience
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: to our liking. We haven't had that chance in a
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: little bit, and I think we've we've grown and progressed
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: so much as a band in those eighteen months that
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: I'm really excited for everyone to see. And people would
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: have got a glimpse of it on the Polara shows,
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: and it was really nice to give some of these
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: new songs a test run and yeah, showcase kind of
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: what we've been brewing. And I think these shows are
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: going to be that, just on another level of like this,
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: you know, Ocean Grover has arrived and I hope you
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: I hope you're here for it.
• 20:15
