  Mine. As we show I playing a band called Luca Brazi. We are
• 0:03
  kicking off our tour with our best mates in Spanish love songs in a few
• 0:07
  weeks. I'm here to chat about how excited I am about it. You
• 0:11
  heard it from Thanks for joining us today, mister, I love it.
• 0:15
  I'm pumped. So as you mentioned, wrote Luca Brassi, you will surely
• 0:20
  commence the World Don't Owe You Anything album for starting in camera on May to
• 0:24
  fifteenth. They're going through Adelaide, Melbourne, Perth, Brisbane, Gold Coast
• 0:28
  and Sydney before finishing a Newcastle on Made the twenty fifth. Like, it's
• 0:31
  a pretty extensive run of shows, bro, Yeah, man's so nicely.
• 0:35
  I was going to play places that don't get got to as much as they
• 0:39
  should, so it's nice to go back to those towns. You know,
• 0:42
  we come from Tazzy quite often. Back in the day, those you know
• 0:46
  Tazzy didn't get all these tours, so it's nice to go and play those
• 0:49
  sort of places too. Hey, col it's probably a bit bigger run of
• 0:52
  shows than what you'd normally do. Bro. So is there anything anything especially
• 0:56
  you're going to be doing so mentally and physically prepare or you're just going to
• 0:58
  be sicking. Lots of peers. I'm going to try to sink less piss,
• 1:02
  so bloody don't try and enable me. Chris, I been the singer,
• 1:07
  been the singer. My goal is kick your battles these days. I've
• 1:11
  got to be smart about it, and it's easy to say and hard to
• 1:15
  do. I'll back you until you get your brids, but anyway, but
• 1:19
  I love it, mate, I love it. Nah, just trying to
• 1:23
  learn their songs again. You know, it's been a license we've got to
• 1:26
  ur. So you do your gig fitness a bit. So we're the Cobbs
• 1:30
  the first few shows and then really get stuck in the record nice as the
• 1:34
  name suggests, you're at on the back of last year's album, The World
• 1:37
  Don't Owe You Anything. So how was the reception of that one? That
• 1:41
  it was awesome? It was so nice to put out a record and to
• 1:45
  get that sort of response back from it. You know, we had about
• 1:47
  our first record a few years. You know, things kind of had changed
• 1:52
  a bit in the band. You know, everyone gets bloody older, unfortunately,
• 1:55
  but you know, we kind of realign the way we wanted to do
• 1:57
  stuff. We made the record at home, we recorded ourselves, did it
• 2:01
  the way we wanted to do it. We wanted to kind of play,
• 2:06
  you know, some more. I mean we're not never been a heavy band,
• 2:08
  but to get back into some more sort of punk sort of roots it
• 2:10
  is nice too, yeah, col And that was your sixth studio album,
• 2:15
  Mate, So where do you rate it amongst the others? Like if you
• 2:17
  got a list of favorites to least favorites, so I reckon, I'd put
• 2:23
  it probably number I have to say, it's got to be number two,
• 2:28
  Yeah, right, two out of six? What's beeding it? I think?
• 2:34
  I think there's a place in my heart for our third record called if
• 2:38
  This is All We're going to be, because that's the one where we started
• 2:40
  to see things kick off, you know, the first time went overseas,
• 2:45
  the first time hearing a lot of those songs in the radio, and to
• 2:47
  watch that many people come to our shows, so that there's a real lot
• 2:50
  of cent mental value attached to that album for sure. Now, speaking of
• 2:53
  all the albums in the catalog, Mate, like how do you reckon?
• 2:58
  The band sound has changed your groin from your debut Extended Family in twenty and
• 3:01
  eleven to the world. Man. So like when we started this band,
• 3:06
  we didn't even mean to be a band. We had no idea what the
• 3:07
  hell we're doing. None of us now to write songs. We still don't,
• 3:09
  obviously, but like we we just try to write ten songs for extended
• 3:14
  family enough to put out a record, And it was all just like ripping
• 3:15
  off every band we loved as kids, all those pipe bands. And then
• 3:21
  we put out another record, which is kind of like feeling our way a
• 3:23
  bit further. And I think just from then it's been like refining what we're
• 3:27
  actually trying to do and knowing enough about songwriting to actually figure that out rather
• 3:30
  than just bashing out ten songs to get together. All right? So I
• 3:34
  would you say, as a band made like you've actually found using your identity
• 3:37
  it or are you still experimenting and searching. I think we're getting closer.
• 3:42
  Man. You find phases you put out a song or something, think we're
• 3:46
  trying to do something that you know reached too far for something wasn't there.
• 3:50
  But I feel like we're kind of getting back to what we want to do
• 3:52
  now for sure. Do you find it like as as you put more albums
• 3:55
  out and you get more popular, I guess that you sort of lose focus
• 3:59
  to that a little bit where you want to go musically, and you sort
• 4:00
  of start Yeah, definitely, man, you see that in the bands all
• 4:03
  the time. But I feel like, you know, we just we're back
• 4:08
  to kind of just wanting to put out music that we like to do.
• 4:12
  We were trying really hard for a while there to find exactly what worked for
• 4:15
  us better. But I feel like we've kind of been through that phase and
• 4:18
  come outside. Yeah. How every press release I've ever read about you guys
• 4:23
  always refers to you as a bunch of mates, Like how important is that
• 4:27
  being in your success? Like just the fact that you can all get on
• 4:30
  and not kill each other. Fucking mate, that's that's that's the only reason
• 4:33
  is to get to this band, because getting the hangout still means a lot
• 4:36
  to us. You know, I went to kindergarten with part who plays you
• 4:40
  tie in the band fucking thirty one years ago. So we're pretty good.
• 4:46
  You know, we're on tour and someone's tired, you just let that person
• 4:48
  alone for the day, and no one takes it fucking too personally because we
• 4:51
  know each other well enough to go. Look fuck off, mate, I
• 4:54
  fucking break right. Yeah, that's that's it, man, Like, we
• 4:59
  just we know each other well enough. That's just how it goes. But
• 5:03
  I think the best thing is we're still just excited to see each other at
• 5:05
  the airport. You know, that's just it's the chance to hang out.
• 5:08
  It's a buddy awesome just as excited to wave goodbye when you get aimed too,
• 5:12
  though I'll be sometimes yes, starts off very positive and nah mate,
• 5:17
  like I said, like we know well enough to go. Just give me
• 5:20
  a fucking break right now, or I'm going to wind dug as much as
• 5:23
  possible. People out there who might not have seen you guys before, Like
• 5:29
  what can fans expect from your live shows? Like he's a pretty pretty full
• 5:31
  on and I know you get into it. Ah, that's the thing man,
• 5:35
  Like I said, it was just so excited to be on tour,
• 5:38
  so like as soon as you without that first thing on stage, it's like,
• 5:41
  fuck, I'm happy to be here. And I feel like we're a
• 5:43
  time in our lives where the way the music industry is too, Like we're
• 5:46
  gratefully able to play shows at all. It's a privilege you'll be able to
• 5:47
  get on stage and the fucking smile that gets to my face and I walk
• 5:50
  on that stage, mate, so genuinely excited older men now that are in
• 5:58
  sweat and sweat and swear and have a few beers and just have a good
• 6:01
  time. Mate. It's all I ever wanted to do. Now. You
• 6:04
  mentioned before, but you bringing with the La outfit Spanish love songs, so
• 6:08
  tell us be more about them, mate. We have been makes those guys
• 6:13
  for a while, just through the Internet, the magic fucking Instagram. Always
• 6:16
  love their music, just chatting on them off. They put out a record
• 6:19
  a few months ago called No Joy, which we loved and it just timed
• 6:23
  really well with getting him on this tour. We're pretty similar in what we
• 6:27
  want to do with the Ethos as a band sonically thematically, they write off
• 6:30
  some music. We're pretty excited that spend this much time with them. Cool?
• 6:33
  And what's next for Luca Brassey after this run of shows? Mate?
• 6:36
  You got plans for anything else? Are you going to take a bit of
• 6:39
  time? Mate? We started We've started writing songs again. Somehow every time
• 6:43
  it gets this point, how the fuck are we back here again? It
• 6:46

  think, fuck not again. And here we go again, mate, like
