- 0:14Speaker 1: at Heavy, what's been going on with yourselves?
- 0:17Speaker 2: So like a whole lot of a lot and a
- 0:19Speaker 2: whole lot of nothing, I guess.
- 0:22Speaker 3: So yeah, like I guess if you're really looking at,
- 0:25Speaker 3: what we've been.
- 0:26Speaker 2: Up to is.
- 0:28Speaker 3: Getting our chops back up after not playing for almost
- 0:32Speaker 3: nine years, recording the Other Mexico again, and kind of
- 0:40Speaker 3: for a lot of the members, getting to experience what
- 0:44Speaker 3: it is to record music these days, you know, like
- 0:46Speaker 3: from our lounge rooms and even for Cam and Simon
- 0:49Speaker 3: actually recorded on a back deck at Karen's house. So
- 0:53Speaker 3: it's you know, like sunshine and stuff like that in
- 0:56Speaker 3: the background and just recording riffs.
- 1:00Speaker 2: Yeah, just the stuff.
- 1:04Speaker 3: That comes with being all over forty now, I guess
- 1:07Speaker 3: for the most of us, yeah exactly. But outside of that,
- 1:12Speaker 3: just yeah, getting back up to scratch and putting out music,
- 1:17Speaker 3: putting out.
- 1:17Speaker 2: A little bit of merch, getting ready for next week.
- 1:20Speaker 1: Yes, because you guys are going to be necrosotic, that
- 1:24Speaker 1: is correct, Yes, as am I fift.
- 1:30Speaker 2: Main stage. That's right.
- 1:31Speaker 1: Yeah, nice, nice, So it's yeah, it's set to be
- 1:35Speaker 1: a big one. It's got some decent lineups.
- 1:37Speaker 3: Oh so many good bands, too many, well not too many.
- 1:41Speaker 3: Probably could could have done with more Cantonette better next time,
- 1:43Speaker 3: next next year.
- 1:45Speaker 1: True. True, So yeah, that's obviously a big game. You
- 1:47Speaker 1: guys played Necro before.
- 1:49Speaker 3: No, we haven't, so like a like a couple of
- 1:53Speaker 3: us are playing another band we were able to play
- 1:55Speaker 3: last year, so we've got the experience of what Necrosonic
- 1:59Speaker 3: is all about, and you know how good of a
- 2:01Speaker 3: day it actually is. But yeah, this year playing with
- 2:05Speaker 3: Lynch Matter. We've played on the stage once before, as
- 2:08Speaker 3: I've played on the stage once before with Finch Marta.
- 2:10Speaker 2: I think they've played on it before that as well.
- 2:13Speaker 2: But yeah, this first.
- 2:15Speaker 1: Time for Necrosomic awesome, awesome. Yes, we were there, but
- 2:21Speaker 1: I think it was last month for Dead Winter, which
- 2:22Speaker 1: was really good. It's a good, good venue.
- 2:26Speaker 3: Yeah, they've got it really down to a team, you know,
- 2:30Speaker 3: like the stages, the setup, that's the way the day runs,
- 2:35Speaker 3: everything like that.
- 2:36Speaker 2: It's that's really good.
- 2:37Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it was seemed to be pretty seamless, you know.
- 2:39Speaker 1: So that was in a backstage ender in the in
- 2:42Speaker 1: the pit and all the rest are getting around it.
- 2:44Speaker 1: But yeah, definitely good. So looking forward to that obviously
- 2:47Speaker 1: yourselves as we are, and yeah, so that's obviously a
- 2:51Speaker 1: big thing happening. At what's the rest of the ross
- 2:54Speaker 1: look like for you guys for the rest of the year.
- 2:57Speaker 3: So really at this stage, nothing, it's it's really, as
- 3:01Speaker 3: Kento has put it many times in all the the advertisement,
- 3:05Speaker 3: so one last time performance and at this stage it's
- 3:09Speaker 3: very well maybe one last time.
- 3:11Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it is that because you guys have just
- 3:13Speaker 1: got different projects happening, or.
- 3:17Speaker 3: I think it just comes with life, you know, like
- 3:20Speaker 3: you know, quite a few of us, I've been corrected
- 3:22Speaker 3: by the guys from my last interview that have become
- 3:24Speaker 3: fathers now and you know, we're just life.
- 3:29Speaker 2: You know, that happens. It's you know, making that time
- 3:32Speaker 2: for it.
- 3:33Speaker 3: A couple of us do have a other music project
- 3:36Speaker 3: that we work on, and yeah, just just general life
- 3:41Speaker 3: stuff and it just catches up and I feel like,
- 3:45Speaker 3: you know, Lynch Marda feels bigger than like for us,
- 3:49Speaker 3: like maybe I don't know, it's that when we like
- 3:52Speaker 3: even coming back for the one show.
- 3:54Speaker 2: It wasn't just coming back for one show.
- 3:55Speaker 3: We you know, recorded music, we you know, released merchandise
- 4:00Speaker 3: and you know, did a lot of work in the
- 4:03Speaker 3: background to kind of get ourselves back up to where
- 4:05Speaker 3: we kind of felt like lynch Mater should be. Yeah,
- 4:08Speaker 3: and so yeah, just you know what it means to
- 4:13Speaker 3: do it again. We'll see, like we're not saying no.
- 4:15Speaker 3: I guess at this stage we're not saying yes either. Well,
- 4:19Speaker 3: you know, like we we.
- 4:20Speaker 1: A hiatus I think they call it.
- 4:22Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, like in twenty nineteen, we played a show
- 4:25Speaker 3: that down in Adelaide that we said was kind of
- 4:28Speaker 3: going to be one and done, and then then four
- 4:30Speaker 3: months later we played another show and then I just
- 4:33Speaker 3: thought that was when you know, if you go back
- 4:35Speaker 3: to our Facebook post after it was done, it was
- 4:38Speaker 3: very much like I know, he's a hard full stop
- 4:41Speaker 3: after it, and you know, here we are nine years
- 4:44Speaker 3: later and in again.
- 4:45Speaker 1: So yeah, well there you go. Yes, it's one of
- 4:47Speaker 1: those things you kind of can't really predict getting in
- 4:50Speaker 1: all dependent action.
- 4:52Speaker 3: I don't know if you like you're like you would
- 4:55Speaker 3: know Canto like I would say that he can predict
- 4:58Speaker 3: it because the amount of hope that he puts in
- 5:00Speaker 3: in the background to make it happen.
- 5:03Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, like it's kind of made the joke
- 5:05Speaker 2: a little bit.
- 5:06Speaker 3: But the Croissonic has been going on for three years,
- 5:08Speaker 3: but he's been working on Lynch Marta for at least five.
- 5:11Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go. Yeah, it's about putting yourself out
- 5:15Speaker 1: there and you know, doing the promoting of you know,
- 5:18Speaker 1: backing yourself and if you want to be on the
- 5:20Speaker 1: stage and then able to do the hard yards and
- 5:22Speaker 1: the groundwork to get there. So doesn't this idea if
- 5:25Speaker 1: it happens over like magically and you know, just find
- 5:28Speaker 1: yourself flucked from nowhere is such a myth I think.
- 5:31Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, it's it's a different world out there. It's
- 5:34Speaker 3: just got to be doing it for the right reasons.
- 5:36Speaker 3: If you're doing the right reasons, it doesn't really matter
- 5:38Speaker 3: it does it right?
- 5:38Speaker 1: Well, that's it. That's it. And yeah, like you said,
- 5:41Speaker 1: was saying before, you know, the making of music these
- 5:42Speaker 1: days is obviously, you know, quite different to it back
- 5:45Speaker 1: when we probably first started. You know, it's all about
- 5:48Speaker 1: you know, the online presence as well and streaming the
- 5:51Speaker 1: numbers and very much so you like gigs and you know,
- 5:54Speaker 1: like gigs and merchers, whether the coin has been turned over.
- 5:58Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I suppose, you know, like.
- 6:02Speaker 3: Definitely, Like for us, it wasn't about you know, like
- 6:05Speaker 3: turning over some income when it came to releasing our merchers,
- 6:09Speaker 3: just I guess we weren't really expecting a lot of
- 6:13Speaker 3: the you know, excitement or even engagement from a lot
- 6:17Speaker 3: of people even beforehand when we started sharing just some
- 6:20Speaker 3: of our old EP or single covers and some of
- 6:24Speaker 3: the old photos and stuff. It's just a lot of
- 6:26Speaker 3: people just really just showed like so much interest and
- 6:30Speaker 3: love that we weren't expecting. So it kind of felt like,
- 6:33Speaker 3: you know, doing a little bit more than just playing
- 6:36Speaker 3: a show. It would be worth it, and you know
- 6:39Speaker 3: that's why we're you know, like the one of our
- 6:41Speaker 3: T shirts is Necrosonic specific. I think that's just really
- 6:45Speaker 3: a celebration to the day and the and what it is,
- 6:50Speaker 3: you know, like a what could very well be a
- 6:53Speaker 3: one last time performance.
- 6:54Speaker 1: So yeah, well I think as crossed it's not and
- 6:56Speaker 1: now you never know what's in the enjoyed you know,
- 7:01Speaker 1: he said, Yeah, I got different projects, no doubt to
- 7:04Speaker 1: see you again somewhere gracing the stage or having one
- 7:07Speaker 1: of the interviews. So yeah, so the new album that
- 7:11Speaker 1: you've got coming out to just say so.
- 7:12Speaker 2: It's a single.
- 7:13Speaker 3: So we just did the single, Yeah, just of the
- 7:17Speaker 3: other Mexico, the title track further album like twenty years ago. Like, yeah,
- 7:22Speaker 3: I remember I was such a massive fan of the band,
- 7:26Speaker 3: you know, back then, Like I was living in Sydney
- 7:29Speaker 3: and I'd have them stay over in my place whenever
- 7:31Speaker 3: I'm They're there, serious party dudes back in those days,
- 7:35Speaker 3: you know, like having to force them to to take
- 7:39Speaker 3: the van with all the gear back to my place
- 7:42Speaker 3: before they decided to leave it just on the side
- 7:44Speaker 3: of the street in full of gear in the middle.
- 7:46Speaker 2: Of Sydney and stuff like that.
- 7:49Speaker 3: And yeah, like I seeing the new members come in,
- 7:51Speaker 3: you know, like Cam and Simon back in those days,
- 7:55Speaker 3: you know, Dan coming in later, even Ken being in
- 7:59Speaker 3: the band, and you know, then getting the opportunity to
- 8:01Speaker 3: replace Kent. You know, like it's it's really cool to
- 8:05Speaker 3: be a part of what it meant to bring it
- 8:08Speaker 3: back to now, like you're not only production wise, but
- 8:10Speaker 3: a little bit of writing and stuff like that.
- 8:13Speaker 1: So yeah, nice, nice. So I think the re release
- 8:16Speaker 1: is always good and it's give's a bit of a
- 8:19Speaker 1: new life to some older, old faithful so as they say, yeah.
- 8:23Speaker 3: I feel and I feel like it stands to test
- 8:25Speaker 3: the time, you know, like it stands on its own now,
- 8:28Speaker 3: even after twenty years, like the you know, you think
- 8:31Speaker 3: something you're written about twenty years ago would just you know,
- 8:34Speaker 3: like it'd be a little bit outdated or whatever, but
- 8:37Speaker 3: you know, a little bit of a polish on it,
- 8:39Speaker 3: and it's and yeah, like a we're all extremely happy
- 8:43Speaker 3: with it.
- 8:44Speaker 1: Nice, nice, Well that's good. That's obviously very happy with
- 8:47Speaker 1: the way you do it. So a big, big helpful
- 8:49Speaker 1: hand when you're putting it out there. So yeah, well
- 8:52Speaker 1: that's awesome. So we obviously are looking forward very much
- 8:55Speaker 1: to seeing you next week at so it'll be a
- 8:59Speaker 1: big day. It's fans everywhere, so never never short of
- 9:03Speaker 1: fun times when these things happen. Socially is involved.
- 9:07Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, well I'm there from eleven thirty just because
- 9:10Speaker 3: the lineup.
- 9:11Speaker 1: Is just so yeah. I was going to ask you,
- 9:14Speaker 1: is anyone in particularly that you're really looking forward to seeing?
- 9:17Speaker 3: So I guess if I'm starting from the very beginning
- 9:20Speaker 3: slaughter cult, like the just trying to catch this whole
- 9:24Speaker 3: Rivers of Nile tour, you know, like so were Slaughter
- 9:28Speaker 3: Court opening the day the mat at all straight after that, Neverotolic,
- 9:33Speaker 3: basically straight after that, Barriers and other bands that you know,
- 9:41Speaker 3: just really seriously been waiting to see Grave Mind are
- 9:45Speaker 3: always done a great job catching five Star again after
- 9:49Speaker 3: all these years. We're really looking forward to seeing sharing
- 9:52Speaker 3: the stage with Minus Life, as we have done many
- 9:55Speaker 3: times over the many years of both bends. I remember
- 10:00Speaker 3: actually booking Lynch Marto and Minus Life to play with
- 10:05Speaker 3: my previous band down in Sydney many many years ago,
- 10:09Speaker 3: so you know, so that's that is a very interesting
- 10:15Speaker 3: and the way that it all comes together, Suggression having
- 10:17Speaker 3: getting to see Suggression again, it's seeing.
- 10:20Speaker 1: Psychroptica later suffering.
- 10:22Speaker 2: So yeah, Psychroptic is never a bad time ever.
- 10:25Speaker 1: No, that's true. That's true.
- 10:28Speaker 3: And I have been waiting forever to see Rivers and Nile,
- 10:31Speaker 3: so you know, I've left it too long to see them.
- 10:34Speaker 3: They've been there three or a few times and I
- 10:36Speaker 3: haven't been able to catch them. So this time I
- 10:38Speaker 3: will be you know, like it's I will be completely active,
- 10:43Speaker 3: including playing a show in the in between for twelve
- 10:46Speaker 3: hours watching bands.
- 10:48Speaker 1: Nice, nice, Well, yeah, there's definitely a lot there to
- 10:52Speaker 1: enjoy and catching the lineup.
- 10:54Speaker 2: So oh good time.
- 10:55Speaker 3: It can's done a very very good job this year,
- 10:57Speaker 3: and like it feels like like it's done a really
- 11:01Speaker 3: really good job making sure that there's like, no, you know,
- 11:05Speaker 3: the crossover in terms of the band. So if you're
- 11:08Speaker 3: really into one stylo music, you're you're not gonna kind
- 11:12Speaker 3: of miss out on two bands that you really want
- 11:14Speaker 3: to see. And he did a really good job of
- 11:16Speaker 3: that this year. But I think this year has just
- 11:18Speaker 3: nailed it even more.
- 11:19Speaker 1: So, Yeah, no, that's really good when that happens, So
- 11:22Speaker 1: you didn't get to see it all and didn't have
- 11:24Speaker 1: to miss out on anything.
- 11:24Speaker 3: You also don't get to rest, right when how are
- 11:29Speaker 3: you supposed to eat? When you're supposed to find time
- 11:31Speaker 3: to eat? Does it go to the bar anything like that? Like,
- 11:34Speaker 3: it's not the way it's supposed to work. You've just
- 11:36Speaker 3: got to just non stop Marsh.
- 11:39Speaker 1: You're going to soldier on that.
- 11:41Speaker 2: It's got to do.
- 11:41Speaker 3: It only happens once a year, so to save the
- 11:44Speaker 3: energy and then get it all out and then start
- 11:47Speaker 3: saving it up for next year.
- 11:49Speaker 1: Yes, indeed. Indeed if it can be done to logistically
- 11:53Speaker 1: plant and then between that and running backstage and you
- 11:57Speaker 1: trying to find where you're out of, oh yeah, could
- 11:59Speaker 1: be fit. I was like to start working out.
- 12:02Speaker 3: Yeah, well I'm plenty on priming my camera out for
- 12:04Speaker 3: a bunch of it as well, so like you're running
- 12:06Speaker 3: around with the camera as well as doing the playing
- 12:09Speaker 3: and stuff.
- 12:10Speaker 1: Yeah, I think when you're in a camera if there's
- 12:12Speaker 1: no actual pit, like it's what I'm telling you. Like
- 12:15Speaker 1: last night I had that again, which was fun, but
- 12:19Speaker 1: one that I covered it wasst scary was that helmet
- 12:23Speaker 1: at the back room and the barone not the Great Northern,
- 12:26Speaker 1: and there was no media pit and I was going
- 12:30Speaker 1: from one side of the other until I realized, I'm like,
- 12:32Speaker 1: I'm not going back in that just and stand out.
- 12:36Speaker 1: But it was a really difficult, you know, just with
- 12:38Speaker 1: the lighting and stuff. Just not a great concephotography as
- 12:42Speaker 1: you know, red light threaten boy light.
- 12:47Speaker 2: But it's also what makes it so special, right, so true.
- 12:50Speaker 1: So true, So well, no doubt we are. We'll definitely
- 12:53Speaker 1: cross paths this coming week seven days from.
- 12:56Speaker 2: Today and counting, yes.
- 12:59Speaker 1: Yes, and it's going to be good.
- 13:00Speaker 2: One.
