• 0:28
  SPEAKER_08: I found you guys on social media.
• 0:29
  SPEAKER_08: Sweet.
• 0:30
  SPEAKER_08: It was, I don't know, I honestly I don't remember what it was, but I went down this rabbit hole of just every song you guys had.
• 0:37
  SPEAKER_08: It was just chill.
• 0:38
  SPEAKER_08: It was good vibes.
• 0:40
  SPEAKER_08: To me, it was like a modern day type beach boys.
• 0:42
  SPEAKER_08: Like I felt good about it.
• 0:44
  SPEAKER_08: I wanted to surf, even though I hate the I hate swimming.
• 0:47
  SPEAKER_08: It was fantastic.
• 0:49
  SPEAKER_08: And so as as soon as I knew it, I was like, I gotta have these guys in here.
• 0:52
  SPEAKER_08: I am so so honored to have you guys here.
• 0:54
  SPEAKER_08: So thank you for watching.
• 0:55
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, thank you for having us, Andy.
• 0:56
  SPEAKER_00: Thank you for having us.
• 0:57
  SPEAKER_08: So, Man of the Oasis.
• 0:59
  SPEAKER_08: Explain to me what this name is all about.
• 1:00
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, it's just a name that we kicked around for a while.
• 1:04
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, because this the roots of this project began probably mid-late 2022.
• 1:08
  SPEAKER_08: Okay.
• 1:09
  SPEAKER_00: It's a name we've been kicking around for a hot minute, and it is kind of like pulling a name out of a hat.
• 1:13
  SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
• 1:14
  SPEAKER_00: It's like uh auto generated.
• 1:16
  SPEAKER_00: You ever watched that show, Deep Space Nine?
• 1:18
  SPEAKER_08: Uh yes, yes.
• 1:19
  SPEAKER_00: Star Trek?
• 1:19
  SPEAKER_00: The guy who played the Doctor.
• 1:21
  SPEAKER_00: Well, his name's not Alexander, he just pulled it out of a hat, and that's pretty much the same premise.
• 1:25
  SPEAKER_00: I think Child is for nerds.
• 1:28
  SPEAKER_08: I think Childish Gambino actually came up with his name through the Wu-Tang Generator, as he put his name in, his real name, and the Wu-Tang generator created Childish Gambino.
• 1:36
  SPEAKER_00: You know, there's something similar with the band Integra Pink from LA.
• 1:39
  SPEAKER_08: Is that what it is?
• 1:40
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, it's the same.
• 1:41
  SPEAKER_00: It's putting it it I I did we did it more or less just by literally pulling crap out of a hat.
• 1:47
  SPEAKER_00: The old-fashioned way, but it's basically the same premise.
• 1:49
  SPEAKER_08: The way our ancestors did it back in the day.
• 1:51
  SPEAKER_08: Basically.
• 1:51
  SPEAKER_08: That's right.
• 1:55
  SPEAKER_08: So, Pat, you are would you say you're the the the frontman of the band, or are you guys pretty split 25% each?
• 2:03
  SPEAKER_08: Depends on what it's okay to take credit to say that.
• 2:05
  SPEAKER_08: It's okay.
• 2:06
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, it depends on what perspective.
• 2:07
  SPEAKER_00: From uh from a functional, like artistic perspective, I I'm loosely a front man.
• 2:13
  SPEAKER_00: It's we're more or less like you mentioned like you mentioned us as kind of like a contemporary Beach Boys.
• 2:18
  SPEAKER_00: That's like the second time I've heard somebody tell us that.
• 2:20
  SPEAKER_08: How do you feel about that?
• 2:21
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, it's it's a wonderful compliment.
• 2:23
  SPEAKER_08: Okay, good.
• 2:23
  SPEAKER_00: It's wonderful.
• 2:24
  SPEAKER_00: I love it.
• 2:24
  SPEAKER_00: Good.
• 2:25
  SPEAKER_00: I love it.
• 2:25
  SPEAKER_00: It in some way it's pretty accurate.
• 2:27
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I think so.
• 2:28
  SPEAKER_00: The way we kind of divide vocals, divide songwriting.
• 2:30
  SPEAKER_00: Like it's pretty, pretty freaking accurate.
• 2:32
  SPEAKER_08: Do any of you guys surf?
• 2:34
  SPEAKER_05: Uh Jordan.
• 2:35
  SPEAKER_05: Uh it's been a while, but you know, when I lived in San Diego, I like to surf.
• 2:38
  SPEAKER_05: And I we were gonna surf when we went to California.
• 2:42
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
• 2:42
  SPEAKER_05: Just didn't have the time.
• 2:43
  SPEAKER_05: I was gonna teach Jacopo to sing.
• 2:45
  SPEAKER_05: You can uh to sing.
• 2:48
  SPEAKER_05: To surf.
• 2:49
  SPEAKER_07: To surf to sing.
• 2:51
  SPEAKER_07: Somebody says something about surfing.
• 2:52
  SPEAKER_07: It's about surf in general.
• 2:54
  SPEAKER_07: I don't know if that makes the rest of us pose.
• 2:55
  SPEAKER_07: Yeah, let me teach you to put on your person and say, oh, we'll speak for you, sir.
• 2:59
  SPEAKER_05: Also, we're good.
• 3:01
  SPEAKER_08: There you go.
• 3:02
  SPEAKER_08: Um, no, this is great.
• 3:03
  SPEAKER_08: I'm so excited for you guys.
• 3:05
  SPEAKER_08: I've I've I've been the the the team, unfortunately, isn't here with me today because we're doing our Saturday session.
• 3:10
  SPEAKER_08: But I've been playing your music all week long, and Julie, my my co-host slash producer, she's begging me to stop playing you guys because it's been on non-stop.
• 3:21
  SPEAKER_08: For the love of God, I can't take any more.
• 3:23
  SPEAKER_04: You mean the women want to shut up?
• 3:27
  SPEAKER_04: No, we want the women though.
• 3:30
  SPEAKER_08: You guys are a fun band.
• 3:31
  SPEAKER_08: So, how did you guys all get together?
• 3:33
  SPEAKER_00: All right, so this, like I said, the roots of this project started in 2022, a little mid to late 2022.
• 3:38
  SPEAKER_00: I was kind of on my own, in a bit of like a bedroom situation.
• 3:41
  SPEAKER_00: My I was working with my friend, my friend Julian of the band Past Self.
• 3:45
  SPEAKER_00: I strongly encourage you to look them up.
• 3:46
  SPEAKER_00: They're one of the premier neo-goth bands of today.
• 3:50
  SPEAKER_00: Like, they're far beyond local at this point, but he's a good friend of mine.
• 3:53
  SPEAKER_08: Shout out past elf.
• 3:54
  SPEAKER_00: Past self.
• 3:55
  SPEAKER_00: Shout out to me dropping everything.
• 3:58
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, he was working, was doing some work with him in his home studio, and uh that's kind of where this began this project a little bit.
• 4:05
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, just me.
• 4:07
  SPEAKER_00: Hey, yeah.
• 4:09
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I met him in a friggin' record shop.
• 4:11
  SPEAKER_00: That was fun.
• 4:11
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, we went to Zia.
• 4:13
  SPEAKER_05: I was like, well, let's just meet and see how it goes.
• 4:15
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
• 4:15
  SPEAKER_05: Went to Zia.
• 4:16
  SPEAKER_05: Here we are.
• 4:17
  SPEAKER_05: And it was all downhill for it.
• 4:19
  SPEAKER_05: I don't know how these two joined.
• 4:21
  SPEAKER_00: We went through like an assortment of friggin' like other people for a bit until we landed Brian.
• 4:26
  SPEAKER_00: Brian's been in the scene here for ages.
• 4:28
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 4:28
  SPEAKER_04: Uh you know, about the same amount of time as y'all have been.
• 4:32
  SPEAKER_04: Friggin' 2022.
• 4:33
  SPEAKER_04: Friggin', you were with Cosmic Frenzy for a bit.
• 4:36
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 4:36
  SPEAKER_04: Yep.
• 4:37
  SPEAKER_04: Ronnie Wilder and the Cosmic Frenzy Peace.
• 4:40
  SPEAKER_00: He joined us like probably February of last year.
• 4:43
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 4:43
  SPEAKER_00: And then fall of fall of that same of last year, friggin' Jake joined us.
• 4:47
  SPEAKER_00: He joined us.
• 4:47
  SPEAKER_00: His first show with us was when we uh put together a show with the band Mintfield in Mexico City.
• 4:52
  SPEAKER_00: Like one of the newer shoegaz bands to come out, very like playing KEXP, doing Coachella kind of stuff.
• 4:59
  SPEAKER_00: So we managed to put some together with them in December of last year, and that was pretty nice, nice gin, dick.
• 5:04
  SPEAKER_00: And that was his first show with us.
• 5:05
  SPEAKER_00: And the band is it really is and as it should be, is pretty much the four of us.
• 5:11
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 5:11
  SPEAKER_00: It took a while to get here.
• 5:12
  SPEAKER_00: It took a while to get here.
• 5:13
  SPEAKER_00: So to answer your question, like I think late 2025 is when the band really got its wings.
• 5:19
  SPEAKER_08: Love that.
• 5:20
  SPEAKER_08: And did have you all kind of come to an agreement on the style?
• 5:23
  SPEAKER_08: Or like as soon as you guys clicked?
• 5:24
  SPEAKER_07: Did you all head all the time?
• 5:28
  SPEAKER_07: That's what makes it fun.
• 5:29
  SPEAKER_07: We're kind of all writing songs.
• 5:32
  SPEAKER_07: Especially like the new stuff that's floating around.
• 5:36
  SPEAKER_07: I feel like you can kind of tell who's who was like the main force bringing the idea out, but eventually once everybody gets their hands on to it, I feel like it does feel more cohesive.
• 5:49
  SPEAKER_07: I love that.
• 5:49
  SPEAKER_07: You can definitely point it out.
• 5:51
  SPEAKER_07: Yeah, that was that was bad.
• 5:53
  SPEAKER_07: That was bad.
• 5:54
  SPEAKER_08: I feel like it's it's it's gotta be tough having uh a band where um it's a very very much a collaboration because there are so many decision makers.
• 6:02
  SPEAKER_08: Um and and yeah, I guess it works in your favor and it works against you because you guys have your own unique style, which you all bring to the table.
• 6:09
  SPEAKER_08: And when it works, it works great.
• 6:11
  SPEAKER_08: But I gotta imagine there are some times where you guys are, you know, you guys are like brothers and you you fight and you disagree and you know you should have been the car last weekend.
• 6:19
  SPEAKER_00: We did a SoCal run, we did uh the El Monte in LA last weekend with uh the Violet Minefield.
• 6:24
  SPEAKER_00: Another shout out to them.
• 6:25
  SPEAKER_00: If you really like 60s style music, so many shout-out to Indian.
• 6:29
  SPEAKER_00: Look shout out shout-out, shout out.
• 6:31
  SPEAKER_00: There's gonna be a lot of shout-outs because we're we're decently like interactive with quite a few people.
• 6:35
  SPEAKER_00: We're givers here.
• 6:36
  SPEAKER_00: But uh yeah, if you want to talk about that that kind of the the insanity of being with a bunch of cartoon characters, you should have been in the van on the way to California last weekend.
• 6:45
  SPEAKER_04: Oh god, just non-stop uh just quoting SpongeBob, just pure nonsense.
• 6:52
  SPEAKER_08: I'd love it.
• 6:52
  SPEAKER_08: Pure nonsense.
• 6:53
  SPEAKER_08: I'd expect nothing less.
• 6:55
  SPEAKER_05: Very loud, very loud crossing out together.
• 6:57
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
• 6:58
  SPEAKER_05: Okay.
• 6:59
  SPEAKER_05: We're driven through.
• 7:00
  SPEAKER_08: I love this.
• 7:01
  SPEAKER_08: Well, guys, I'm excited for you guys to play some songs with us today.
• 7:03
  SPEAKER_08: What's the first song you're gonna play for us?
• 7:05
  SPEAKER_04: We're gonna play Goo Lagoon first.
• 7:06
  SPEAKER_04: Yes.
• 7:07
  SPEAKER_04: This song was written by Jake with the main parts, lyrics by Pat, and I do the main vocals on it.
• 7:14
  SPEAKER_04: This one's off our new album.
• 7:15
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 7:16
  SPEAKER_04: I mean, most of them are.
• 7:19
  SPEAKER_04: So here is Goo Lagoon.
• 8:05
  SPEAKER_03: Between the eyes, God and the sky.
• 8:18
  SPEAKER_03: All I do for you.
• 8:27
  SPEAKER_03: All I do for you and life needs a light.
• 9:07
  SPEAKER_03: I'm a full thing.
• 9:20
  SPEAKER_03: I know what's the night.
• 10:50
  SPEAKER_08: Nicely done.
• 10:52
  SPEAKER_08: Goo lagoon.
• 10:53
  SPEAKER_08: What's what's Goo Lagoon about?
• 10:54
  SPEAKER_08: Where's that name come from?
• 10:56
  SPEAKER_06: SpongeBob.
• 10:58
  SPEAKER_00: Is it Spongebob?
• 10:59
  SPEAKER_00: That's a Spongebob reference.
• 11:00
  SPEAKER_00: This is a Spongebob reference.
• 11:06
  SPEAKER_07: And I have to say the project when I'm trying to make my demo.
• 11:09
  SPEAKER_07: Sure.
• 11:10
  SPEAKER_07: I'm like, fuck, I don't have any name or anything.
• 11:13
  SPEAKER_07: Like I just usually type in some bullshit to name it, and somehow that just it it did give Spongebob vibes.
• 11:20
  SPEAKER_07: And it just stuck.
• 11:29
  SPEAKER_07: Was gonna be a working title, but then Pat somehow managed to like being the actual title.
• 11:36
  SPEAKER_08: At that point, at that point, it's it's too far gone.
• 11:40
  SPEAKER_00: And I did.
• 11:41
  SPEAKER_00: Narratively, it's neat.
• 11:43
  SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
• 11:45
  SPEAKER_08: I'd imagine myself getting high on sunset at some some beach in SoCal, just listening to the waves crash, listening to this song, just chilling.
• 11:52
  SPEAKER_07: That is exactly what I would like to hear from somebody who's that's that's that's awesome.
• 11:57
  SPEAKER_00: It's like a it's like a wanderlust kind of song, missing something, someone somewhere.
• 12:02
  SPEAKER_08: Are a lot of your songs about like love or like the relationships, or not so much?
• 12:06
  SPEAKER_00: Uh it's a bit of a bit of a variety of things, you know.
• 12:10
  SPEAKER_00: It kind of ends up that way sometimes.
• 12:13
  SPEAKER_00: It's like uh uneasy love, grieving, um, in some cases pure unmitigated madness.
• 12:19
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 12:20
  SPEAKER_05: Do we have any happy love songs?
• 12:21
  SPEAKER_05: Do we?
• 12:22
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
• 12:22
  SPEAKER_05: I don't know.
• 12:23
  SPEAKER_05: I don't think surfing.
• 12:24
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
• 12:25
  SPEAKER_07: The love of food surfers.
• 12:28
  SPEAKER_07: Yeah, that's right.
• 12:29
  SPEAKER_07: I guess we're gonna have to add that to the repertoire.
• 12:31
  SPEAKER_07: Add that to the list.
• 12:32
  SPEAKER_07: One happy song.
• 12:34
  SPEAKER_07: There's a bunch of losers, dude.

  SPEAKER_08: When did that come out?
• 13:36
  SPEAKER_00: Uh that dropped June 12th.
• 13:39
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, June 12th.
• 13:40
  SPEAKER_08: And you you had an opening uh like a um an event uh to do the we put together a release show, yeah.
• 13:47
  SPEAKER_00: At the rooftop of Taverna Costero.
• 13:49
  SPEAKER_00: We know the owner there decently well.
• 13:51
  SPEAKER_00: Uh yeah, we put some together with uh some friends, and it turned out to be a pretty neat shindig.
• 13:56
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 13:56
  SPEAKER_04: All of it is recorded on YouTube.
• 13:58
  SPEAKER_04: Yes, the whole show the whole show is on video.
• 14:02
  SPEAKER_08: Yeah, is it on the Man of the Awases official YouTube channel?
• 14:05
  SPEAKER_04: We need to move it there.
• 14:08
  SPEAKER_04: It's on our link tree.
• 14:09
  SPEAKER_08: Brian, get on get on that, Brian.
• 14:11
  SPEAKER_04: Yes, Brian's the brains back then.
• 14:15
  SPEAKER_04: You want me to do the smart one the editing.
• 14:19
  SPEAKER_08: So when you're when you're making an album like this, do you kind of have an idea of what you want the end result to be and you kind of create songs for it?
• 14:27
  SPEAKER_08: Or do you not necessarily know what the end result's gonna be?
• 14:30
  SPEAKER_08: You just kind of combine these songs together and at the end it kind of turns into its own thing.
• 14:35
  SPEAKER_00: I hate to make this comparison, so forgive me for doing so.
• 14:38
  SPEAKER_00: But when we put together this record, and I think we're all kind of in agreement about this, we kind of took the bulk of our just live repertoire and put it together and made it into co into a cohesive piece of work.
• 14:50
  SPEAKER_00: It's a half-hour record.
• 14:51
  SPEAKER_00: Like I was for me, I was really channeling uh like The Beatles Please Please Me, their very first album, which if you listen to that album, it's very conventional.
• 15:00
  SPEAKER_00: They did it all in like a what, an 18-hour session.
• 15:03
  SPEAKER_00: Really?
• 15:05
  SPEAKER_00: Basically.
• 15:05
  SPEAKER_00: Oh yeah.
• 15:06
  SPEAKER_00: And we're dying by the end of it.
• 15:08
  SPEAKER_00: But uh it's just like it's a statement piece.
• 15:10
  SPEAKER_00: It's like we're here, we're not deniable.
• 15:12
  SPEAKER_00: Like it's not it's it's it's not we're undeniable.
• 15:16
  SPEAKER_00: Basically.
• 15:17
  SPEAKER_00: We're not undeniable.
• 15:18
  SPEAKER_08: So basically, you just compared yourself to the Beatles, which I love.
• 15:20
  SPEAKER_08: I love that.
• 15:21
  SPEAKER_08: You're Beatles for the Beach.
• 15:22
  SPEAKER_08: I'm here for it.
• 15:23
  SPEAKER_05: And bigger.
• 15:24
  SPEAKER_05: Beatles.
• 15:25
  SPEAKER_08: Beatles.
• 15:26
  SPEAKER_00: No, it's the premise is just for the for this first album, at least to me, maybe you guys differ, but uh it it's a it's a starting point.
• 15:34
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 15:34
  SPEAKER_00: Or a little, if you really want to make a more opt comparison, like the Radiohead's Pablo honey.
• 15:40
  SPEAKER_08: I could talk, I could talk music with you guys all day long.
• 15:42
  SPEAKER_08: I am one of the things.
• 15:44
  SPEAKER_05: Oh, that's gonna be so we have a plan.
• 15:47
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, we though you said now we I think we are going in like let's try and get to this place.
• 15:52
  SPEAKER_05: But we're like, let's just get recorded, let's get these in, yeah, see how it comes together.
• 15:56
  SPEAKER_05: Now we're like, all right, let's make demos and let's figure this out.
• 15:59
  SPEAKER_08: Yeah, so now that you have like uh your first album under your belt together, what's something that you've learned that you're gonna you want to take to the next album when it comes to the phone?
• 16:07
  SPEAKER_05: I don't like any of these people.
• 16:09
  SPEAKER_08: Good luck with that.
• 16:11
  SPEAKER_07: Consistency is important.
• 16:13
  SPEAKER_08: Consistency.
• 16:13
  SPEAKER_07: Consistency is important, yeah.
• 16:15
  SPEAKER_07: I think down to the technical side of things.
• 16:19
  SPEAKER_07: Um I didn't master the record myself.
• 16:22
  SPEAKER_07: And while I am very pleased with the results I was kind of learning as we went how to do so.
• 16:30
  SPEAKER_07: Um there's I could have spent another ten years endlessly tweaking, but I think starting a new project I can start from scratch, and I feel like getting a stronger foundation sonically from the from the jump, I think I can make it sound overall a lot better.
• 16:51
  SPEAKER_08: We all believe in you.
• 16:53
  SPEAKER_08: Um no, I I totally understand that.
• 16:55
  SPEAKER_08: Like when I had um this is our our new studio, but in our past studio, when we had it, it was never perfect enough to start recording.
• 17:02
  SPEAKER_08: There was always something I wanted to do to it.
• 17:04
  SPEAKER_08: And by the time we finally got to a point where I was just like, you know, we uh I'm over it.
• 17:08
  SPEAKER_08: I just wanted to we just gotta do it.
• 17:10
  SPEAKER_08: And you just gotta do it.
• 17:11
  SPEAKER_07: The deadline approaches, and I was like, here it is.
• 17:13
  SPEAKER_07: Exactly.
• 17:14
  SPEAKER_07: This is our best effort for what we could do.
• 17:17
  SPEAKER_07: At this, at this moment, yeah.
• 17:18
  SPEAKER_07: You gotta be proud of that, learn from it, and take things forward.
• 17:21
  SPEAKER_07: You know.
• 17:22
  SPEAKER_00: I attended this lecture once from this comic book artist whose name is Jeff Penya.
• 17:26
  SPEAKER_00: He has some great work, but he one of the points that's germane here is uh the idea that nothing's ever really finished, just released.
• 17:35
  SPEAKER_00: So, like uh, for example, George Lucas with the Star Wars films.
• 17:39
  SPEAKER_00: Uh-huh.
• 17:39
  SPEAKER_00: If he had all the time and money in the world, he would have just kept like working on that crap.
• 17:43
  SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
• 17:44
  SPEAKER_00: But it had to come out at some point.
• 17:45
  SPEAKER_00: And I think with this specific like the first album, it just we had all this this little backlog of material we just needed to get out.
• 17:52
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 17:52
  SPEAKER_00: So for what it is, I think it was I think it was probably the best thing that came out the way it did.
• 17:57
  SPEAKER_08: That's a good way of looking at it.
• 17:58
  SPEAKER_00: And then everything going forward is gonna be a lot more conceptual and intentional, just like what Jay was expecting.
• 18:04
  SPEAKER_05: It's like skydiving.
• 18:05
  SPEAKER_05: Once you jump, the decision was made.
• 18:06
  SPEAKER_05: It's like you can't go back to the same.
• 18:10
  SPEAKER_07: Something I'm also very like looking forward to is the uh the four vocalist thing was kind of an experiment as we were recording.
• 18:20
  SPEAKER_07: Now we kind of know that that's what we want to do, and we kind of know the strengths of everybody's different voices, and we can really write in a way that we're preparing to make full use of that potential like from the jump.
• 18:36
  SPEAKER_08: At what point did you guys all agree on having four vocalists?
• 18:40
  SPEAKER_08: Because for those of you that are just listening at home, we definitely have like a tiny desk big head type of setup here where you guys are kind of grouped together in our little corner over there, but the four of you are all vocalists uh at part of uh of the band.
• 18:54
  SPEAKER_08: At what point did you all agree, like, hey, let's try something where all of us have the vocals?
• 18:58
  SPEAKER_05: I think we just all write songs, and so like generally, if I write a song, then I want to sing it.
• 19:02
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, but then I'm like, well, what's gonna make it pop more?
• 19:04
  SPEAKER_05: Let's add harmonies.
• 19:06
  SPEAKER_04: And then he's pretty good at harmonies, mode is good, brain's a beautiful singer, so just just realizing that we all could sing was one of the main decision makers in having us all singing.
• 19:20
  SPEAKER_00: It was a wonderful, wonderful friggin' discovery.
• 19:23
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 19:26
  SPEAKER_07: You guys said you were waiting on the waiting for the cover.
• 19:29
  SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
• 19:29
  SPEAKER_07: You were like ripping it.
• 19:31
  SPEAKER_07: I'm like, oh that's sweet.
• 19:32
  SPEAKER_08: Nice.
• 19:33
  SPEAKER_08: Have you guys written songs but somebody else has sang it instead because you thought maybe they're better at this than a culmination.
• 19:44
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 19:45
  SPEAKER_04: Around the band it was Pat singing, and then we had Jake take over on vocals for that one.
• 19:50
  SPEAKER_07: He was a more viral lad for it.
• 19:52
  SPEAKER_07: Only one where I take like that was a song written before.
• 19:58
  SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
• 19:58
  SPEAKER_07: Actually, everything before.
• 19:59
  SPEAKER_04: Most most of everything was just Pat singing, and then we all just kind of pick parts.
• 20:04
  SPEAKER_04: Love that.
• 20:05
  SPEAKER_00: Don't we agree with the result we have now?
• 20:07
  SPEAKER_04: Yes.
• 20:08
  SPEAKER_08: Listen, I I'm a big fan of the Eagles.
• 20:10
  SPEAKER_08: I don't know how you guys feel about the Eagles, but obviously they're a band that also has multiple you know members sing certain songs, and they're they're aware of where their strengths are, where their weaknesses are.
• 20:18
  SPEAKER_08: And if you guys are, you know, able to be, I guess, comfortable sharing, you know, your your your feedback on you know, this would Pat would be better at this song or Jake would be better at that one, um, yeah, then it I'm sure it works out great.
• 20:29
  SPEAKER_08: And actually, I have a question for you, Jake.
• 20:31
  SPEAKER_08: What what guitar is that?
• 20:32
  SPEAKER_07: Oh, so this is actually Jordan's.
• 20:35
  SPEAKER_07: None of the rest of us had proper acoustic instruments, but this is uh absolutely brain.
• 20:45
  SPEAKER_07: So glad that he had this for me because I play a lot of up here on the upper parts of the T Rummer.
• 20:53
  SPEAKER_07: Yeah, this thing is awesome.
• 20:55
  SPEAKER_08: What does that do that uh that your normal guitar doesn't do or can't do?
• 21:01
  SPEAKER_07: Definitely feels more like an electric guitar, which I've historically always played electric guitar.
• 21:07
  SPEAKER_07: My main guitar is a straticaster.
• 21:08
  SPEAKER_07: Nice.
• 21:09
  SPEAKER_07: It's also a fender because the strata starts like uh was pretty pretty sold, but you know, it's almost I guess.
• 21:20
  SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
• 21:21
  SPEAKER_08: I dig that.
• 21:22
  SPEAKER_08: That's a good look.
• 21:23
  SPEAKER_07: And then Pat's a lot of fun.
• 21:24
  SPEAKER_07: I want to give you a surfing guitar.
• 21:26
  SPEAKER_08: It is very serving.
• 21:27
  SPEAKER_08: Pat, what what are you playing?
• 21:29
  SPEAKER_00: Uh today I have borrowed my uh dear friend Jay's jasmine acoustic.
• 21:34
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, you just passing out instruments left and right.
• 21:37
  SPEAKER_00: What else you got over there?
• 21:38
  SPEAKER_05: It was a raffle.
• 21:39
  SPEAKER_05: They won it.
• 21:39
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 21:40
  SPEAKER_00: It was I was just impressed he had a freaking acoustic bass.
• 21:43
  SPEAKER_00: I haven't seen that too often.
• 21:47
  SPEAKER_08: I love that.
• 21:48
  SPEAKER_08: Acoustic bass.
• 21:49
  SPEAKER_08: What is acoustic bass?
• 21:50
  SPEAKER_08: What's I mean, I didn't even know there would be uh a difference for that.
• 21:53
  SPEAKER_05: You know, it's sometimes their harkas are so quiet bases already are quiet.
• 21:57
  SPEAKER_05: But just given it the acoustic Body so that it you know resonates more than close sometimes you just don't hear.
• 22:05
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
• 22:06
  SPEAKER_05: So it helps with that.
• 22:08
  SPEAKER_08: Does the strategy have you guys played acoustic songs before?
• 22:11
  SPEAKER_08: Is this the first acoustic and the first podcast?
• 22:13
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, you said acoustic and we all like you started really sweating.
• 22:18
  SPEAKER_05: We were like, fuck.
• 22:21
  SPEAKER_05: Like just having fun.
• 22:22
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
• 22:23
  SPEAKER_04: But you have a piano though, so it makes it a little easier.
• 22:28
  SPEAKER_04: Oh, that's great.
• 22:30
  SPEAKER_05: Oh man.
• 22:30
  SPEAKER_05: Getting us out of our comfort zone, which is good for us.
• 22:32
  SPEAKER_08: That's what I love.
• 22:34
  SPEAKER_08: I I love it.
• 22:35
  SPEAKER_08: And even my Brian was very uncomfortable with having this many people perform at one time.
• 22:39
  SPEAKER_08: And you know what?
• 22:40
  SPEAKER_08: My Brian, it's all working out.
• 22:42
  SPEAKER_08: It's all gonna be okay.
• 22:44
  SPEAKER_08: He's he's flipping me off.
• 22:45
  SPEAKER_08: It's unjournary.
• 22:47
  SPEAKER_08: So you see.
• 22:48
  SPEAKER_08: Both Brian's calm down.
• 22:49
  SPEAKER_00: It's so wonderful Brian had this nice, smaller kit because he had to kill a crackhead in LA for this.
• 22:53
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 22:55
  SPEAKER_05: Shout out to the crackheads.
• 22:56
  SPEAKER_05: It's so cute.
• 22:57
  SPEAKER_05: What's that?
• 22:58
  SPEAKER_05: They need less crackheads.
• 22:59
  SPEAKER_00: We threw him straight off the 405 just to pick up.
• 23:06
  SPEAKER_05: You don't want to know where he was storing.
• 23:07
  SPEAKER_08: So basically, what you're saying is Brian murdered a man, is what we're saying.
• 23:10
  SPEAKER_04: Allegedly.
• 23:11
  SPEAKER_04: Allegedly.
• 23:13
  SPEAKER_08: Disposed, yes.
• 23:14
  SPEAKER_08: Awesome.
• 23:15
  SPEAKER_08: Well, listen, um, I'm stoked for this next song.
• 23:17
  SPEAKER_08: What are you guys gonna play next?
• 23:18
  SPEAKER_04: We are gonna play Haboob Surfer.
• 23:20
  SPEAKER_04: This is our surf number, real surf number.
• 23:22
  SPEAKER_08: Which, by the way, I've just heard the word haboob for the first time.
• 23:25
  SPEAKER_08: Are any of you guys gamers?
• 23:27
  SPEAKER_08: A little bit.
• 23:27
  SPEAKER_07: We're talking about in cyberpunk.
• 23:29
  SPEAKER_07: Yes.
• 23:30
  SPEAKER_07: I loved that game.
• 23:31
  SPEAKER_07: Shout out Pan Am.
• 23:32
  SPEAKER_07: Shout out Saul and Pan Am.
• 23:34
  SPEAKER_07: With the Haboobs.
• 23:35
  SPEAKER_07: Yep.
• 23:35
  SPEAKER_08: That's the only time I've ever heard ever heard of haboobs.
• 23:41
  SPEAKER_08: But uh for those of you at home, can you explain what a haboob is?
• 23:44
  SPEAKER_04: It is a dust storm in it's actually like a Sudanese uh Arabic word for a dust storm.
• 23:52
  SPEAKER_00: Such a random word that you guys chose.
• 23:54
  SPEAKER_00: It's so random, but they occur in every place that's so desolate and Arabic.
• 23:58
  SPEAKER_07: We've had a hab or two in Vegas.
• 24:00
  SPEAKER_00: So several if you're for those of you watching, go like when you go check out the song, like you'll see the artwork.
• 24:08
  SPEAKER_00: You're gonna see a little dude with a surfboard running towards a freaking wave of a sandstorm.
• 24:12
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 24:13
  SPEAKER_00: That of itself was like an allegory for just embrace of the unimaginable madness of the biggest.
• 24:17
  SPEAKER_04: We don't have any beaches here.
• 24:19
  SPEAKER_04: It's Lake Mead, but there's no waves in Lake Mead.
• 24:21
  SPEAKER_04: It's surreal.
• 24:23
  SPEAKER_08: Who made your artwork, by the way?
• 24:24
  SPEAKER_05: Uh my girl.
• 24:26
  SPEAKER_08: You're just a man of jack of all trades over there, man.
• 24:28
  SPEAKER_08: You're you're the guy to go.
• 24:33
  SPEAKER_05: We put her in a sweatshot logos and stuff.
• 24:35
  SPEAKER_05: Very crafty.
• 24:36
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
• 24:37
  SPEAKER_05: Love that.
• 24:37
  SPEAKER_05: That's the only reason we've ever made any money.
• 24:40
  SPEAKER_05: They're not buying the record.
• 24:42
  SPEAKER_05: We're more like kiss.
• 24:43
  SPEAKER_05: Well, they're buying the record now.
• 24:45
  SPEAKER_08: You're selling an image, yes.
• 24:47
  SPEAKER_08: Well said.
• 24:47
  SPEAKER_08: Alright, boys, do your thing.
• 24:49
  SPEAKER_08: Man of the oasis.
• 24:52
  SPEAKER_05: Hit it.
• 24:53
  SPEAKER_05: Here, why don't you bring me in so I'm not too imass?
• 25:02
  SPEAKER_06: Well, hot tat coming in.
• 25:05
  SPEAKER_06: You know you don't wanna swim.
• 25:08
  SPEAKER_06: In hot tat batter first.
• 25:11
  SPEAKER_06: Now you know it's time to serve.
• 25:14
  SPEAKER_06: Well hot's coming in.
• 25:17
  SPEAKER_06: I didn't know you don't wanna swim.
• 25:22
  SPEAKER_06: I didn't know it's time to get a good thing.
• 26:34
  SPEAKER_06: I didn't know you know.
• 26:40
  SPEAKER_06: I didn't know it.
• 26:43
  SPEAKER_06: I didn't know it.
• 26:46
  SPEAKER_06: I didn't know it.
• 26:52
  SPEAKER_08: Nicely done, boys.
• 26:54
  SPEAKER_08: Alright.
• 26:55
  SPEAKER_08: That was the song.
• 26:56
  SPEAKER_08: That was the song that got me hooked on you guys.
• 26:57
  SPEAKER_08: And after that, it was it was the rabbit hole.
• 27:00
  SPEAKER_08: And I think the reason I like that so much is because it's not a long song.
• 27:03
  SPEAKER_08: And it it but it gets me hooked, and I want more.
• 27:05
  SPEAKER_08: I want I want another two minutes of that.
• 27:08
  SPEAKER_08: I want but you leave them wanting more, yes.
• 27:10
  SPEAKER_07: Just enough for you to hit the loop button and get us another play on the bottom.
• 27:13
  SPEAKER_07: You're welcome.
• 27:14
  SPEAKER_08: You're welcome for all the the pennies that I got you from Spotify.
• 27:17
  SPEAKER_04: If bad.
• 27:20
  SPEAKER_08: Is it that bad?
• 27:21
  SPEAKER_05: It is that bad.
• 27:22
  SPEAKER_05: Oh man.
• 27:24
  SPEAKER_05: I don't think we've ever gotten it.
• 27:25
  SPEAKER_05: We've only paid money to Spotify.
• 27:28
  SPEAKER_05: Basically, at this point.
• 27:29
  SPEAKER_08: It's gotta be tough.
• 27:30
  SPEAKER_08: It's gotta be tough being a band.
• 27:31
  SPEAKER_08: I don't know if it do you feel like it's harder now than it has been ever to be an up-and-coming band?
• 27:36
  SPEAKER_00: I think it's always been hard.
• 27:38
  SPEAKER_00: I just think the kinds of hard are unique to each era.
• 27:41
  SPEAKER_00: It's not a different way.
• 27:45
  SPEAKER_00: Sure.
• 27:46
  SPEAKER_00: Especially if you're in a serious fan like us who are trying to do something.
• 27:49
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 27:49
  SPEAKER_00: Like it's it's it's never been easy.
• 27:51
  SPEAKER_00: But I think that what makes this era particularly screwy is just how, especially how the money.
• 27:56
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, the money system's always been fucked up.
• 27:58
  SPEAKER_04: We have to compete with robots now.
• 28:00
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 28:03
  SPEAKER_00: And the fact that you know streaming exists, so therefore nobody buys albums like they used to anymore.
• 28:07
  SPEAKER_00: A lot of artists made money off the road.
• 28:10
  SPEAKER_00: It's like it just made it that mechanically more freaking difficult.
• 28:13
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 28:14
  SPEAKER_00: It'd be nice if you know, there's aspects of streaming I like, like how you guys have this platform and a pilot from a music perspective.
• 28:22
  SPEAKER_07: It's like a double-edged sword, because on the one hand, the recording uh an album or whatever is more accessible than it's ever been in all of history, and you can throw a couple hundred bucks on a on a Scarlet interface and a couple of speakers and record your album in your bedroom, and we couldn't do that in the 90s or 80s or however they want to do that.
• 28:47
  SPEAKER_07: What is that?
• 28:48
  SPEAKER_07: So if you needed some guy to approach you with a with a cigar and be like, hey kids, you sound real good.
• 28:53
  SPEAKER_07: How's it going to sign already?
• 28:54
  SPEAKER_07: Sign this contract.
• 28:55
  SPEAKER_07: Sign this contract.
• 28:58
  SPEAKER_08: I don't know what it is, but you got it.
• 29:22
  SPEAKER_07: Yes.
• 29:23
  SPEAKER_07: So it's like you need to be ranking songs out all the time if you want to be able to like.
• 29:29
  SPEAKER_04: Or you just gotta do enough TikTok challenges too.
• 29:32
  SPEAKER_07: Or you can do TikTok challenges.
• 29:34
  SPEAKER_07: So if anybody's if you come up with a haboob surfer challenge, we need a haboob surfer challenge.
• 29:41
  SPEAKER_04: Show us your dust storms.
• 29:43
  SPEAKER_08: Show us your dust storms.
• 29:45
  SPEAKER_04: Hit us with big old bags of sandwich.
• 29:50
  SPEAKER_05: Show your Haboob channels.
• 29:51
  SPEAKER_05: Show us your haboobs.
• 29:52
  SPEAKER_05: Show us your hobby.
• 29:53
  SPEAKER_05: We lost our TikTok.
• 29:55
  SPEAKER_00: We have demanded.
• 29:56
  SPEAKER_00: We just got canceled.
• 29:57
  SPEAKER_00: One of the artists I love so much and that I think's been in a way an influence for us is uh this group called Frankie and the Witchfinger.
• 30:04
  SPEAKER_04: More name dropping.
• 30:05
  SPEAKER_04: More name dropping.
• 30:06
  SPEAKER_04: Shout out to Frankie and the Witchfingers.
• 30:08
  SPEAKER_04: Shout out to everybody.
• 30:09
  SPEAKER_00: Every band is a Beatles is that they've literally never stopped.
• 30:14
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, they just keep going.
• 30:15
  SPEAKER_00: They just keep going.
• 30:15
  SPEAKER_00: All these they've been at it probably 12 plus years now.
• 30:18
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 30:18
  SPEAKER_00: And they just never stopped, and now they're probably one of the bigger names in a lane adjacent to it.
• 30:23
  SPEAKER_00: Really?
• 30:24
  SPEAKER_08: Is the Vegas music scene competitive or is it very welcoming, or is it like a community, or what?
• 30:30
  SPEAKER_08: Friendly?
• 30:31
  SPEAKER_05: I've never met a band that was like, yeah, stop, dude.
• 30:33
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 30:34
  SPEAKER_04: Maybe like they think they're better, but they probably aren't better.
• 30:36
  SPEAKER_04: I mean, we all think we're better than each other, but at least we're friendly about it.
• 30:40
  SPEAKER_04: That's good.
• 30:41
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, like I said, the only thing about Vegas that's ever kind of struck me is just because Vegas is a relatively isolated place compared to other cities.
• 30:50
  SPEAKER_00: And so it's just like it becomes a very insular place, like an insular market.
• 30:54
  SPEAKER_00: Because I'd like to I I I I I noticed that freaking in some ways Vegas is like from a scene perspective, on average of five years behind everywhere else.
• 31:02
  SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
• 31:03
  SPEAKER_00: So I mean and because I'm a guy that likes to keep his ear to what say the LA scene or the SoCal scene is doing.
• 31:10
  SPEAKER_00: I'm like, okay.
• 31:14
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah, they're doing something completely different.
• 31:16
