• 0:23
  Donald Dave, I'm Glenn Jeff Ada Sammer, and then we're Matt Bennett with
• 0:33
  us tonight and we are shocked our Mistress talking about our new album, Kings
• 0:37
  of the Revolution. Over to you, Chris, beautiful, gentlemen, thanks
• 0:41
  for Jonas today. It does indeed look hold down there. Okay, it's
• 0:46
  freaking freezy, don't. I don't end to you at all. Thanks brother.
• 0:59
  So aside from the colds, there is some good news today because Shotgun
• 1:03
  Mistress have released your sophomore album, Kings of the Revolution. So how you
• 1:07
  feel about it, guys? Oh? Man, Yeah, we're stokes.
• 1:15
  We've been it's been a long time coming, and we've had this album in
• 1:21
  our back pocket for a long time. You know, half the album was
• 1:23
  was already written before the first one was even released, so it's definitely been
• 1:30
  a while, but it's good to finally release into the world. Yeah,
• 1:33
  and you know, thanks to everybody for jumping on and purchasing and pre ordering
• 1:38
  and stuff. We're currently number one on number one overall. Man. Great,
• 1:47
  yeah, you should have a drink and celebrate that. I wish I
• 1:49
  had one to have one video. Cheers. So it is the album what
• 1:57
  fans would expect from Stown mistress. Guys say, you know, we get
• 2:00
  the interviews with a camp Chris, what's going on? I know I've got
• 2:02
  the kids tonight, so I'm being a good dad. I'm trying to be
• 2:07
  a good dad. You're a great dad. And come on, So is
• 2:15
  the album what fans would expect from John Gunristers or have you thrown a few
• 2:17
  surprises in there? That's a good question. That was a really good question.
• 2:23
  I'd like to think so, I'd like to think it's something that's pretty
• 2:25
  similar to what people would relate to expect from the first one, but I
• 2:30
  think it's it's definitely personally a step up for us as far as the writing
• 2:37
  ability is. You know, the first album was a bit of a test
• 2:39
  to see how we sort of work together right exactly. So this one is
• 2:44
  definitely something that came I think, a lot easier, quicker. Yeah,
• 2:49
  and man, the actual production of the track's a really good and there's definitely
• 2:54
  a lot of different I would just say influences. There's heaps of different from
• 3:00
  this album compared to the last first one, Early Day Aerosmith and Dizzy Top
• 3:06
  and yeah, there's a lot more variety in this, I think, yeah,
• 3:09
  sort of suits everybody instead of just sort of writing to the one sort
• 3:13
  of content. Yeah, now you've released the singles Judas, Mary Jane and
• 3:19
  shot Down, So just say that's all someone said of the album. Is
• 3:22
  that a good sonic representation of the whole thing? Yeah? I think so.
• 3:27
  Yeah, there's a couple of there's one cheeky little ballad in there which
• 3:30
  is sort of shines and show shows completely different side to us. Yeah,
• 3:35
  we're allowed one ballad because we're not on every two today, one every two
• 3:39
  albums. That's it we are, So we got one every album. So
• 3:53
  how about give us just say this is his birth anyone who a shotgun mistress?
• 3:58
  Give us two tracks off the album that you haven't least people listening on
• 4:00
  Spotify to get engage with the album, two ones that we haven't released.
• 4:05
  You pick one up another I'm gonna because Matt does the solo. It's probably
• 4:10
  the weakest tracking the album, but I absolutely bloody love it because it's just
• 4:13
  just such a driven song, more your stone table pilots or a genre,
• 4:15
  but a little bit more on steroids, I suppose. And it's called Down.
• 4:19
  It's the last track of the album. The solo in that is just
• 4:23
  absolutely fucking insane. It's great. Actually, the solo is pretty good.
• 4:27
  It's like Hardway three thought I can't be anymore and yeah, look I did
• 4:35
  mention it's all right before I love It's all right. I'm gonna say that
• 4:39
  because it's it's like the first song that we've done. It's got a bit
• 4:43
  of like a bluesy field to it. It's a it's an on the road
• 4:47
  song. A song. It is a song. It's really fitting for what's
• 4:51
  ahead in the next few weeks. So very good. Now, Mistress have
• 4:57
  got a reputations to kick ass and I've been guys, So do you try
• 5:00
  and replicate that sound and energy in the studio or is it more polished situation?
• 5:06
  Probably a bit more polished to be honest. Yeah, I mean,
• 5:09
  I like we like to sort of keep it relatively similarly, and at the
• 5:15
  same time, we want to put on more than just a performance. We're
• 5:20
  actually out live. You can't do that in a recording, So we're trying,
• 5:24
  you know, really not let loose and just sort of have a good
• 5:28
  time with the fans. Really, that's what it's all about. You don't
• 5:31
  see a band just sort of standing still and just sort of playing their songs.
• 5:34
  It's just, you know, it's not cool. It's not rock and
• 5:38
  wrong around like lunatics and entertain people. That's what it's all about. I
• 5:46
  love the title of the album, guys like King to the Revolution, Like
• 5:49
  it's pretty much a powerful statement, isn't it. Absolutely? And the title
• 5:56
  track Things of the Revolution, which is the first song, was there's only
• 5:59
  really we don't think written to songs that's been quite political, and that was
• 6:02
  one of them, and so was what was the other one? Shot down?
• 6:06
  So they were both written at the height of COVID. So I think
• 6:12
  one of the good things that sort of came out of that period. And
• 6:15
  everyone every outs is going to tell you that, man, some really good
• 6:17
  content came out of out of those horrible years, but you know, it
• 6:20
  was something that was came out really well for us. So overall, guys
• 6:28
  like, how would you say Things of the Revolution differs musically to yourself titled
• 6:32
  album from the first album? Yeah, oh, most Glen's sort of saying
• 6:40
  before, it's so many different influences for this album than it was for the
• 6:45
  first album. We kind of, as Glenn was saying before, we're testing
• 6:49
  the waters on sort of what we could do and what we could come up
• 6:51
  with, and this one we've sort of really found our feet and everyone sort
• 6:55
  of knew how everyone worked together and it really came together really quick. A
• 7:00
  lot more influences into this album, but it feels very familiar for people to
• 7:04
  kind of just listen to your gun. Well, let's a very really stand
• 7:09
  from twenty thirty years ago, but with a modern spin to it. Yeah,
• 7:15
  So along those lines, how much music could break you? Reckon Mistress
• 7:18
  has left in you? Oh, man, I feel we're just beginning and
• 7:25
  then we want to write at least twenty albums. We're blessed with the fact
• 7:30
  that it's taken us to be in our forties to have a band that we
• 7:35
  feel very secure in. We don't like any of us are going anywhere.
• 7:40
  We're never once worried about my band and believing or you know, there's never
• 7:44
  any good quarrels. You know, we have our say and everyone gets hurt
• 7:48
  and it's literally a matchmade in heaven with this band, and thank the man,
• 7:54
  it's like we need a lot of seriously with this group, it really
• 7:57
  is. Next month we broke up probably so emotional. Man. Now we're
• 8:16
  blessed, absolute bloody blessed the guys that we've got. Matt put us all
• 8:20
  together. You ain't worked with everybody before prior and then yeah, I think
• 8:24
  you did a great job on sort of puzzle piecing everybody together, different sort
• 8:28
  of genres, different backgrounds, and it works. It's like having four personalities
• 8:33
  like kiss or something like that, four different characters and sort of working all
• 8:37
  four minds together to create what we've got shock comstress now, which is great.
• 8:41
  Good share. Now you're going to be taking your your music over to
• 8:45
  the good folks of Japan from next week. You guys for nine or like
• 8:50
  you feel about that? Have you been there before? Connie, you are,
• 9:00
  Dave, I've been there before. Day's never been I've never been over
• 9:03
  seas unless you class Tazzy has gone overseas. No fast Tatty is as placeful
• 9:07
  stop it's the Bronx. I'm only kidding. We love it. Tazzy is
• 9:16
  awesome, but it's gonna be great, man. I think I think Japan
• 9:22
  is. It was definitely on the cars to do. It's one of those
• 9:26
  closer countries that really loves rock and roll. It's still quite a prevalent genre
• 9:33
  over there. I'm like Australia where it's a bit more of a legacy genre.
• 9:37
  But hopefully, hopefully we can start to change all that. Oh yeah,
• 9:41
  starting to go international now, so you know, we kind of had
• 9:43
  to stretch our feet a little bit there and sort of start taking the shower
• 9:46
  overseas. It was we're done in Australia so many bloody times now, all
• 9:50
  of the usual spots, and it's just like we need to stretch our legs
• 9:54
  and it's become you know, get outside of Australia and start to become a
• 9:58
  bit more of a household sort of branded. So the only way to do
• 10:01
  it is to start Japan and sort of see where we go from me and
• 10:03
  you're coming with us, Chris, I'll be I'll be there at the same
• 10:07
  time. Maybe we're going to rip that place in New On. Absolutely she
• 10:16
  didn't start to make me thirsty. Stop it. You've got to go to
• 10:22
  the fridge. This break, after this break of good, she got over
• 10:28
  with Charlie Jewel, who also released new music today. So you guys have
• 10:33
  played together before a few times, haven't you. Yeah, we have.
• 10:37
  We haven we love them. We love that she's she's awesome rock Queen Color
• 10:41

• 10:45
  We're very, very happy, And I just got off the phone to
• 10:48
  her before and she's stoked with how her release is going. So if you
• 10:52
  guys haven't checked it out, Sad Girl, awesome song. It's a different
• 10:56
  take on her other stuff, so it's a bit more more poppy, polish
• 11:00
  type type music, but really good. Absolutely cracker of a song. Actually,
• 11:05
  chorus in that is such a killer chorus and the just graduate you cannot
• 11:11
  stop dancing or having fun to do it. And good on Karli and then

• 11:56
  the end of the year. It's gonna be quite different to the shows we're
