  Hello, I'm meccam playing the Boondle Boys with the Chats tour in February and
• 0:12
  then it's about It with Doctor Rock and Turbo Nicholl match. Thanks for joining
• 0:19
  us today, brother, Thank you right. So, what most people know
• 0:25
  of you for your role in the Cosmic Psychos, Mate, you actually got
• 0:28
  a dirty mistress called the Bundle Boys are about to dust off the Coldbbs for
• 0:31
  a few shows with the Chat. So do you feel dirty mad? Do
• 0:35
  you feel like you're cheating on the boys? No? Not at all.
• 0:41
  Yeah, And I looked the record came about a long long time ago and
• 0:45
  we just re released it, so um yeah, yeah, it goes back
• 0:52
  to about two thousand and six. I think that we write the songs,
• 0:59
  and I mean I in the Psycho is at about that time from memory,
• 1:03
  and I think it was recorded. It goes back fifteen years sort of thing,
• 1:11
  you know. So yeah, yeah, fun, fun. Yeah.
• 1:18
  You're playing shows with the Chats in Mariucci Door and Brisbane Castlemaine Frankston and Melbourne
• 1:22
  to help celebrate five years in their label, Bargain Bin Records. Sounds like
• 1:26
  a good piss up to me, mate, you're celebrating the light and back
• 1:29
  on stage. It's sounds like a great excuse for a piss up. Yeah,
• 1:34
  I think that's probably right, my man. I think you're right there.
• 1:38
  Who needs an excuse? But yeah, anything for an excuse, that's
• 1:42
  right. And that's one of the places you're playing is Castlemane, which is
• 1:47
  where they make four X as well, So you're on the spot there.
• 1:51
  No, I think that's four ex's Queensland for the Castle Maine, not the
• 1:56
  Castle Maine in Victoria. Cool girl. So people who haven't seen The Bond
• 2:04
  of Boys before mate, like, describe a typical live show from you guys.
• 2:07
  Is it crazy as a psychos or is it a bit different? I
• 2:10
  think it's probably different because different people are playing. Yeah, and I'm sort
• 2:16
  of like I take all the vocals I suppose because I did on the record
• 2:22
  and we're playing mostly those songs. So yeah, that's about it. Yeah,
• 2:28
  yeah, but that's good fun, good fun. So for those untouched
• 2:32
  by Bondle Boys, man, and they don't know much about you, take
• 2:36
  a trip down memory lane a bit like you joined or started the band in
• 2:38
  two thousand and six with a couple of mates, so you're already in a
• 2:42
  well known touring band at the time, So why punish yourself by making another
• 2:46
  band? Oh no, see, I reckon the songs because I went back
• 2:52
  to Brisbane Teeth at that point. I wasn't from member the on you wasn't
• 3:01
  really gone much, and I wasn't in the Psychos because the Psychos wouldn't have
• 3:10
  played until two thousand and seven. And it's just around that time sort of
• 3:15
  thing, you know. So I don't know, it's just fun to keep
• 3:20
  playing. I mean, I live up in Brisbane, those guys live up
• 3:23
  there. We get together every couple of weeks and I have a practice,
• 3:27
  you know, and we have done on and off for a quite some time,
• 3:30
  you know. So what I punish yourself? I don't know. I'm
• 3:35
  a punisher. So when you first fight up, like, did you have
• 3:40
  a sound in mind for the band or did you sort of just make it
• 3:43
  up as you went along and treat it more like fun? Yeah, and
• 3:46
  I made it up as went along, like always do. Yeah. It
• 3:54
  sort of touched on this a bit before. But in two thousand and seven
• 3:58
  you recorded the album Hard. Describe that musically, like, what were you
• 4:02
  sort of what were you going for it? Well, there's covers on it.
• 4:05
  There's like gum Club and black Flag and stuff. But it was recorded
• 4:11
  all flat out through tas cam six eight, so it was pretty fuzzed out
• 4:17
  in a really small practice room. You released it the following year with the
• 4:23
  pressing of only one hundred copies, but that didn't have plan made. What
• 4:27
  would happen there? It didn't work? What happened? I don't know.
• 4:33
  When it was pressed up, it didn't work. So then we had to
• 4:36
  recall them, and then I can't remember what happened. And then fifteen years
• 4:43
  later we put it out. It sold one hundred duds. Yeah, they
• 4:51
  get remember they got replaced. Yeah, so that hundred limited copies tended to
• 5:00
  two hundred limited copies about half of them play. Yeah, that's right,
• 5:03
  and now there's another five under it. So give re release the three Baggin
• 5:12
  records. So has it been released as a hard copy or just digitally?
• 5:16
  No? I don't know, but I know that there's vinyl. Yeah,
• 5:21
  yeah, so I know that much. How's it going so far? Mate?
• 5:28
  Like there's still interest in the band, liked the old fans? Snap
• 5:30
  it up again on vinyl or is it? I don't know if? Well,
• 5:34
  yeah, I mean it has gone a bit. I mean, I
• 5:38
  don't know if there's any fans or not, because we haven't played that much.
• 5:44
  But when we have played, the people that they've enjoyed it and all
• 5:47
  that sort of stuff. So yeah, I think you know, there's some
• 5:53
  interest in it and that's a good thing, you know. So it's history
• 5:58
  repeating itself. Yeah, what better way and as putting it out again giving
• 6:03
  you the urge to another record of bunder Boys because there was the only one
• 6:06
  on it. Yeah, we've done some recording of new stuff and yes,
• 6:13
  something will probably come out in the future again, might be another fifteen years,
• 6:17
  but then I'll be sixty six, but it could be quicker, you
• 6:21
  know. Breath Yeah, I hold your breath. Yeah, your breath will
• 6:28
  come out. It'll be all right. Are you going to be looking at
• 6:33
  doing any more shows after this runner with the Chests made or is that going
• 6:36
  to fuck you again for a few years. Well, there's a lot of
• 6:41
  other stuff going on, so it'll be a wall I think so, but
• 6:45
  there's bits and pieces, you know. When I'm up in Queensland, I
• 6:48
  mean I'm based up there, so when we can get it together, we
• 6:51
  will. Yeah, it does all right, Mackarel. As for usual,
• 6:57
  mate, I'm always a pleasure of the Bundle Boys kicks off in February with
• 7:00
  the chats. Check it out on the website she and get yourselves a ticket.
• 7:04
  Until then, take care brother good on here. Thank you very much
