  like every festival lineup Worth has sold over the last two years has featured you
• 0:46
  on it, mate, So Good Things twenty twenty three rounds the out of
• 0:49
  the year in fine style. Bro, So thanks for joining us so close
• 0:52
  to show someone to celebrate. Well, thank you very much. Have you
• 0:54
  been always a pleasure being had by your chae pas of pleasure? So?
• 0:59
  As I mentioned in the like Krems Roma been like everything from spring Loaded to
• 1:02
  Good Things in the last twenty four months, like what makes you guys such
• 1:06
  a universe? Except the banded of course? I mean he's except it's probably
• 1:10
  a stretch but here we are. Yeah, I don't know, like we
• 1:15
  I I guess we kept putting out records. So we've done a few of
• 1:19
  those sort of more like like your Full Till festivals and stuff with a lot
• 1:23
  of youngsters, and then we do the kind of more nostalgia festivals and stuff
• 1:27
  like that. But yeah, I don't know, Like it seems like I
• 1:32
  for some reason, those songs have kind of resonated with a lot of people
• 1:36
  over the years, and like we did well sort of used to shy away
• 1:38
  from those nostalgia festivals for a while, thinking like, oh, put out
• 1:42
  records and then we did a couple of them, I mean, like him
• 1:48
  Switch and stuff, and I'm like, I fuck, it's not like all
• 1:52
  it is is people my age having a good time like for them, Like
• 1:55
  who might have been grudged of that by going like, you know, here
• 1:59
  this here huge genius. Yesterday we were some good things and there's probably more
• 2:07
  friends of Wrong T Shirts getting around than any other man. Well that's good,
• 2:09
  and we're not probably not at least four they probably the four swe but
• 2:19
  you actually literally not had a showstopper last night in Sydney. Made was we
• 2:24
  didn't do anything we got to finish our show. You're talking about the light
• 2:28
  Yeah, as soon as you're fun rock, butty much as all turned up.
• 2:30
  Yeah, I know. I mean I feel like I'm not one hundred
• 2:32
  percent to blame for that, but just a little bit, I guess I'll
• 2:37
  take it. Yeah, I didn't actually notice what was happening, and I
• 2:38
  was just talking to people backstage and sort I guess if I did, why,
• 2:43
  like this was gona be quiet. They're drinking about yourself again, that's
• 2:47
  five I am. Yet all the people are like, oh yeah, actually
• 2:51
  the whole thing has been called off. We actually looked at earlier. We
• 2:53
  were lucky late luckily investment. We got home and you saw the skylight up
• 2:58
  on the slide. Yeah. Yeah, I think you've only got these rules
• 3:00
  around lightning and stuff with those big stages where like with them everything like within
• 3:05
  a ten k radius. Again, there's that many people getting around with goods
• 3:08
  and ship last night, Like there's that much metal in the crowd's been straight
• 3:13
  at them. Yeah that's it. Yeah, E mentioned your plan. Think
• 3:17
  what will take spreadloaded and good things for example, like springloaders are not Australian
• 3:22
  key. We only face to know so what sort of difference is it between
• 3:24
  playing facial like that to the major international one. I mean, we know
• 3:30
  more people backstage, the Australian ones, but yeah, I don't know,
• 3:35
  they're kind of, you know, pretty pretty different. I guess. Yeah,
• 3:38
  he gets a beat up a bunch of new people of these things and
• 3:39
  catch up in and old heads. Actually, the guy from the Behemoth bands,
• 3:46
  they're there from Poland. I think, yeah, they're too manager and
• 3:49
  Barrick he he too, man friends all in Europe. Yeah, it's great
• 3:55
  and yeah I've got like this total fluke that. Yeah, I saw it.
• 3:59
  It was like, yeah, no, no, he's too many.
• 4:06
  Actually I really wish that I'd taken a photo of as soon as they came
• 4:10
  off stage. There was like old made the singer from Behemoth that comes off
• 4:15
  stage like props into and it's like all these cops take couple. It's a
• 4:24
  beautiful photo. Organizers are gracious enough to put you on the same time as
• 4:30
  Lip Biscuits. How of the Crowns been have you? Have you been ragging
• 4:32
  Hi away? It's been a massive stitcher. No, it's been fine.
• 4:36
  Now we've got the true believers that've sorted out the week from the chaff,
• 4:40
  you know, you know, all the fucking douchebags go and watch them Biscuits.
• 4:45
  And if we get the hum, people all the way to see yesterday,
• 4:48
  just like I see live Biscuit for a few songs, see your whole
• 4:51
  set here today on you that sound much? You and eight other people a
• 4:57
  T shirt. It's been killed and has its effected it too much? Yeah,
• 5:03
  it's been good. So you know, we always just do our same
• 5:06
  show regardless stuff. And like you know, the week before, like a
• 5:12
  couple of weeks ago, we're playing an early beach festival of music. We
• 5:15
  had to go on after Ian boss As you're going on off to some bow
• 5:20
  river in their back on it. Someone who could play like that legend should
• 5:26
  have jumped up. And don't worry, we played all these B sides,
• 5:34
  a couple of pistols. The reception is keep track of the reception of these
• 5:41
  days, of what people are thinking about. Yeah, man, like people
• 5:44
  seem to like it and just kill and like I feel like the longer we
• 5:47
  go, the harder we have to try and records. So yeah, you
• 5:50
  really gotta like, yeah, it be terrible for us to put out of
• 5:54
  an awful record. The death. So so we always try. That's what
• 5:58
  it kind of takes a bit longer. But then yeah, like I think
• 6:00
  I was talking to you about and stuff we did like sixty demos for that
• 6:03
  album and stuff and just trying to pick out the bangers and yeah, oh
• 6:12
  thanks man. Yeah, like because I shared a studio with Blackie from the
• 6:15
  Hard Ones, Yeah, I was like playing in a few of the risks,
• 6:17
  like lindsay like he's a really great guitarist, but like he's like because
• 6:21
  he's so good, like I can I write better dumb bricks because I'm good.
• 6:28
  Yeah, Like he's like like he's like, oh yeah, real pick
• 6:30
  and shit so something, but yeah, and then he can play him way
• 6:34
  better than I can. Notice. Also reak into your love affair with the
• 6:41
  word count on that album made like you guys always seemed to do your best
• 6:44
  work when when the count flows, really, I mean, I don't know,
• 6:46
  I feel like there was sort of accidental, like if I'm trying to
• 6:48
  tell a story and that sort of I love you and count man, well,
• 6:51
  you know, I mean sometimes I don't explain it to my son.
• 6:55
  Actually it's like he's you know, like try instead of telling about like artistic
• 6:59
  express and stuff, and I'm like, you know, don't use the word
• 7:01
  don't say to your teachers and then say to the show, just don't say
• 7:04
  I thought it up there, Like you know, it's a world of double
• 7:08
  standards for him, this guy fourteen now yeah then yeah, So I'm like,
• 7:15
  you know, basically good quotes, ap puts his way in to songs
• 7:16
  and stuff. But then I mean there's probably a lot of other songs that
• 7:19
  that word isn't or he's said on it, but they don't get on the
• 7:23
  record just because they're not good songs. And like, but then that one
• 7:26
  that had heaps of you know, cuts on it was a good song.
• 7:30
  So spreading Corey Town. She said, Oh, and you mean like folks
• 7:35
  stage give them the country. Yeah. Yeah, you know, it's the
• 7:39
  first verse versatility of it. I mean, when we were recording for the
• 7:44
  last album, the one before, we had that song cut acts and Bill
• 7:46
  Stevenson was like, what do you sing it about? And then like that
• 7:50
  by the end of it, he was like, oh, we call it
• 7:54
  a dick bull And it's like, yeah, man, you gotta draw a
• 7:59
  picture of both. Yeah you still pay can't come? Yeah, Yeah,
• 8:13
  it's it's a contrast. I've got two teenage childrens. Yeah, the younger
• 8:16
  one, the two more into the music than the old one. Then she
• 8:20
  just bought my younger one brought in explaining that contrast. I'm glad it's not
• 8:24
  to speak because it is. It is the time. Yeah, yeah,
• 8:26
  for sure. It is the word contradiction. Yeah, exactly what it is.
• 8:31
  Yeah, yeah, understand, it's all yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 8:35
  yeah, I recorded, I know, yeah, yeah, don't say to
• 8:37
  missus Robinson. Remember there was there was one record and we got the test
• 8:41
  pressing back and my wife is playing it in the loud room. Whatever that
• 8:45
  she sort of walked away. It was when I was was like six or
• 8:46
