  Speaker 2: down behind his back and just be able to shred
• 3:43

  Speaker 2: we've ever done from the time that we were like
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: that was so smart to think to do that back well,
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: luckily because this has sort of coincided with a documentaryt.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah years, yeah you did, You've done a documentary about

  Speaker 2: documentary screening and this reunion show, have been put together
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: by my wife Breezy, who has own here with the
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: donations that I forgot to bring, which is.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: That's good because I haven't seen Breezy in a while.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: So yeah, so she's she's on the way here with those.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: We put a bag together last night, but we had
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: an idea to come down and do that and not
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: only just promote the show, but if anyone wanted to
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: come down and earn themselves a ticket.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: We could do something tickets to the to the concert
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: at the complex.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: There's only a handful left, so it's on the on
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: the verge of being sold out. Well, let's talk to
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: you some more.
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: To hang out for a minute. We got time to
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: talk to you a little bit more here.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we have guests here with us. We have Dallen
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Weeks from the Brobex and Matt Glass. People wanted to
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: say black, but it's Glass. Whatever you want to.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: Say, a aura of the soul that he carries with them. Yes,
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: it's black, black as night.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: The bro Becks, of course, Davis County Band started when.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: Man, technically we've been playing together since like ninth grade,
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: but it wasn't the bro Becks, I think until like
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: early two thousand.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: And bro Becks is something about somebody you went to
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: school with.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: Right as the legend goes morning announcements every day at school,
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: it always ends with would always end with people who
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: had messages in the office, And for years every day
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: Jamie Brobeck had a message in the office. And after
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: a while we were like, who is Jamie and they
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: couldn't be found, so it became this like mystery person
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: inside joke, and so that's.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Never found out who Jamie Brobeck was.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Well, some of the did, like, there are fans out
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: there in the world who know way more about our
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: bands than we do. So I believe that they've found
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: Jamie Brobeck.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: And then so Dallan You continued after the Brobacks broke up,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: continued with music went where after.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: That, which it Panic at the Disco, which is a small, small,
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: little known band. He toured tiny venues for just by
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: the skin of art.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: You went on the world tour with him.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah. It wasn't doing that for about ten years nearly,
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: and yeah, it just became time that I saw those
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: paths were going to diverge at some point, so I
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: started doing I don't know how, but they found me
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: in secret for like a year, just to see if
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: the art that I was making could kind of stand
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: on its own two feet.
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: It certainly did.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well thank you. I didn't want to, you know,
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: come out waving a big manner saying formally Panic at
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: the Disco. It was its own thing and.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: People love it.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: Something about that felt kind of disingenuous. So yeah, I've
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: been doing that and I'm still doing that. And uh yeah,
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: Matt here came out and played drums on my last
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: record that I did with Dave Fridman, who's a big
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: producer does like Flaming Lips and a lot of my
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: favorite records are made by that guy. But you came
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: out to upstate New York to do that. That was amazing.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: That haunted Amish, our studio that.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: We also like slept in.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, did you also hear like the weird sounds at
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: night when you're there?
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: I think so it Amish Barns are notorious.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: Notoriously haunted. But like we would end our day at
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: like two or three in the in the morning, you know,
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: shut the lights out, and then it would always sound
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: like someone was moving the piano across the hardwood floors
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: down there, and we would always go check it out.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: Piano was always in the same spot.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: No idea it was, it was it was pipes.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: Jerry, You're no fun, go some more fun.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: So so so the reason you guys are here today
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: is the Robecks are going to do a one off.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we're doing twenty year reunion of a record that
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: we made in my dad's garage from top to bottom,
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: and a handful of other fan favorites as well. But yeah,
• 8:52

  Speaker 1: of stuff.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's and it's really her who's responsible for this
• 9:14

• 9:17
  Speaker 2: taking a holiday.
• 9:18
