Speaker 7: No why is so liberal?
1:13
Speaker 8: US release a new album, Beautiful Skies, on June to
1:15
Speaker 8: thirty eighth, so it's not that long after that.
1:18
Speaker 7: Is how you feel about it.
1:20
Speaker 4: Can't wait.
1:21
Speaker 2: I been like getting ready to give birth, you know.
1:23
Speaker 3: I mean we've been cultivating these things since yeah, probably
1:26
Speaker 3: last November, you know, getting getting ready to be exactly
1:29
Speaker 3: where we are. So it's very exciting to know that
1:32
Speaker 3: it's just around the corner.
1:33
Speaker 8: Yeah yeah, yeah, you can you dive into it a
1:37
Speaker 8: bit deeper musically and tell us what you've done for
1:39
Speaker 8: the summer.
1:46
Speaker 6: It's definitely beautiful. Scars was so much fun because it's
1:50
Speaker 6: a concept album. It takes on the Japanese art from
1:55
Speaker 6: of kinsugi, which is an art form of repair where
1:58
Speaker 6: when like a piece of pottery is shattered, they'll repair
2:02
Speaker 6: it used in gold, and so it becomes more beautiful
2:05
Speaker 6: because it was broken. So we took this and and
2:08
Speaker 6: sort of used it as an analogy onto a person
2:11
Speaker 6: and how a person goes through their life and they
2:13
Speaker 6: get all these scars or they get these these certain things,
2:16
Speaker 6: and we make a.
2:16
Speaker 5: Lot of meaning to it. But you know, what if
2:18
Speaker 5: we meant what if we.
2:19
Speaker 6: Made it mean that it made you more beautiful? And
2:21
Speaker 6: what if this is like coming to terms with who
2:24
Speaker 6: you are? And so the whole album, uh, the whole
2:26
Speaker 6: concept of the album is that. And then what's cool
2:29
Speaker 6: is that Limberlost ended up kind of living that, and
2:32
Speaker 6: you know, we we broke up and and then we
2:34
Speaker 6: got pieced together with some gold here like the Younger,
2:44
Speaker 6: we're making it work.
2:45
Speaker 5: We're making it work.
2:45
Speaker 6: No, no, no, So it's you know, it's it's really cool.
2:48
Speaker 6: So it starts like with alien you'll you'll hear lyrics
2:51
Speaker 6: that that give you a sense of dysphoria about not
2:56
Speaker 6: feeling safe or feeling alien, you know, in your presence,
2:59
Speaker 6: and then uh, it moves into just recognition of who
3:03
Speaker 6: you are, and and then there's you know, velvet and
3:06
Speaker 6: venoms all the way to the end, beautiful scars. But
3:11
Speaker 6: every single song inside of there has a story and
3:13
Speaker 6: has a piece of it. Man on the Run even
3:16
Speaker 6: as a story about a true story actually about a
3:19
Speaker 6: whistleblower that we happened to meet in our in our tours,
3:23
Speaker 6: we happened to meet the whistleblower for the Ignitova case
3:26
Speaker 6: and he challenged us to write a song, so we
3:28
Speaker 6: did wrote it for him.
3:29
Speaker 5: That's on this album.
3:30
Speaker 6: So there's definitely a you know, when you stand up
3:33
Speaker 6: and you figure out who you are and what you're
3:35
Speaker 6: supposed to be in this world and then you you
3:38
Speaker 6: do that and and you own that's what she said.
3:44
Speaker 7: What she said to you mentioned this thing on Aileen.
3:50
Speaker 8: That's also a song that you've released the late singles,
3:52
Speaker 8: So watch is that one to represent the album?
3:56
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I'm curious.
3:58
Speaker 3: Yeah, because as we started shopping demos, you know, our
4:02
Speaker 3: management Paul Crosby from uh, you know, he's a rock
4:05
Speaker 3: drummer from Saliva, you know he you know, I kind
4:09
Speaker 3: of started, you know, throwing some demos past him as
4:11
Speaker 3: we started, you know, Brendany and I were kicking these
4:13
Speaker 3: things out, and then we also had a couple of
4:15
Speaker 3: label people we were talking to. What we found what
4:17
Speaker 3: was really funny is as we started sending these things around,
4:20
Speaker 3: you know, eight five, six, seven, eight songs at a time,
4:25
Speaker 3: we'd always get back you know, these are my favorite
4:27
Speaker 3: ones or these are my friend They were always different,
4:29
Speaker 3: but the one thing that always was consistent is the
4:31
Speaker 3: number one was Alien. That everybody always fell in love
4:34
Speaker 3: with that song, and it was kind of something for
4:38
Speaker 3: me too. I you know, it just kind of really
4:40
Speaker 3: grew on me heavy personally. And I remember coming in
4:43
Speaker 3: and tell me, I think Alien's the one you and
4:48
Speaker 3: and you know, it also represents a pretty good departure
4:52
Speaker 3: from the Limberloss that we were nothing wrong with the Limberloss.
4:56
Speaker 3: We were, but we've made a.
4:59
Speaker 2: Change, you know, both visually and.
5:02
Speaker 3: Silently, uh, into this new product. So it really is
5:07
Speaker 3: one of this. I think this kind of stamps down
5:10
Speaker 3: a little bit. It's not this isn't what you were expecting. Yeah,
5:14
Speaker 3: the evolution of the evolution. This is even even for
5:17
Speaker 3: me really no limber loss.
5:19
Speaker 1: I've known these guys for a long time in my
5:21
Speaker 1: other bands that I played, and we've pooped on shows
5:23
Speaker 1: and stuff together, and they've got me on cool bills
5:25
Speaker 1: and stuff. So I've always I've always not only not
5:28
Speaker 1: only got to see them as a spectator and seen
5:31
Speaker 1: them live and stuff. It's just somebody watching their show,
5:33
Speaker 1: but now being a part of it, and I've seen
5:34
Speaker 1: it all everything in between that you know, the changes
5:37
Speaker 1: all in between.
5:37
Speaker 9: And yeah, it's pretty it's pretty impressive. It's pretty impressive.
5:40
Speaker 9: Is how well done? Well done this is being so
5:43
Speaker 9: in my opinion.
5:45
Speaker 4: I think the theme of the song also had It's
5:47
Speaker 4: got a kind of a universal theme of like being
5:49
Speaker 4: feeling out out of the out of the group out
5:51
Speaker 4: of place, you know, and everybody. It communicates that feeling
5:53
Speaker 4: really well. I believe the whole concept of don't you
5:56
Speaker 4: feel a little alien? You know, And there's a few
5:59
Speaker 4: songs like that the album that I think people are
6:01
Speaker 4: really going to relate to. It's going to grab something
6:03
Speaker 4: inside of them because they're universal, universal themes.
6:07
Speaker 3: And also, you know, let's not discount the fact that
6:11
Speaker 3: we put a couple of tinfoil hats on here about
6:13
Speaker 3: six months ago, the Alien Ancient Alien rabbit Hole a
6:18
Speaker 3: little bit, so there was some inspiration that was, you know, eight,
6:22
Speaker 3: it's a.
6:22
Speaker 5: Great show hashtag ancient Aliens.
6:25
Speaker 2: Ye, don't you feel just a little bit?
6:30
Speaker 6: But yeah, there's definitely uh yeah, there's there's there's truth
6:34
Speaker 6: in that in terms of walking down that that alien path.
6:39
Speaker 6: But then also the lyrics striking just for you. But
6:42
Speaker 6: it's not the only one too. There's also a loan
6:45
Speaker 6: which I think, you know a lot of people will
6:51
Speaker 6: will see themselves, I think, inside of this album, and
6:53
Speaker 6: that's what that's what we're going for. It was a
6:55
Speaker 6: reflection of our own journey, but I think one that
6:58
Speaker 6: a lot of people have gone through.
7:00
Speaker 1: One of my favorite songs on the album like probably
7:02
Speaker 1: is my favorite one, and it's not. It's not even
7:04
Speaker 1: like an upbeat, hardcore rock one or anything. It's just
7:06
Speaker 1: so well written and put together.
7:07
Speaker 2: It's really beautiful.
7:10
Speaker 8: You're spoken about the evolution of the band, say, how
7:13
Speaker 8: does Beautiful Sky's different music made to your previous album
7:16
Speaker 8: Good Fighting?
7:17
Speaker 7: Well Oulder Fans of the band still appreciate the new
7:19
Speaker 7: with stuff.
7:21
Speaker 2: I think they will.
7:23
Speaker 5: I think, what do you think?
7:24
Speaker 1: I think any any band that changes their sound, whether
7:27
Speaker 1: it be Motley Crue or Limber Lost, you're gonna gain
7:29
Speaker 1: and you're gonna lose a few, right, Yeah, maybe hopefully
7:32
Speaker 1: you gain more than you lose. I think that there's
7:33
Speaker 1: no way you'll lose more than your game with this
7:35
Speaker 1: new sound. This sound is is like it's like a
7:37
Speaker 1: limber Lost.
7:38
Speaker 9: Two point zero. It's like really good.
7:39
Speaker 5: You know.
7:40
Speaker 1: So there might be somebody out there that's like, no,
7:42
Speaker 1: it's not like the original like what I like, But
7:46
Speaker 1: there's five other people that are like, oh this is
7:48
Speaker 1: about us, yea his spot times five, So you know whatever.
7:53
Speaker 4: Yeah, there are certain things in the earlier albums, not
7:55
Speaker 4: that not that they're gonna be It's still a Limberlost album.
7:57
Speaker 4: I think there's still a connection there, but it's just
7:59
Speaker 4: a modern version and you know that maybe emphasizing a
8:04
Speaker 4: little less on the blues here, a little less in
8:06
Speaker 4: the country compared to where some of the earlier stuff was,
8:08
Speaker 4: and a little more modern rock, a little heavier.
8:11
Speaker 1: You know, it's definitely more my style. I'm more modern,
8:13
Speaker 1: heavy rock, metal kind of guy. So like, I like
8:16
Speaker 1: their old stuff too, but this stuff is way better
8:18
Speaker 1: in my opinion.
8:19
Speaker 3: A lot of our old album stuff too was you know,
8:21
Speaker 3: they were compilation kind of things, like we did single single,
8:24
Speaker 3: single and.
8:24
Speaker 2: Then scoop it up and make an album, you know
8:26
Speaker 2: kind of thing.
8:27
Speaker 3: So this was a little different departure for us too,
8:29
Speaker 3: is that we created the whole uh you know, the
8:33
Speaker 3: whole soundscape all the way through and actually there was
8:35
Speaker 3: a couple or three signs that didn't make the cut,
8:38
Speaker 3: and then came up with the ten and said, okay,
8:40
Speaker 3: here's the album now, this is this is the sound,
8:43
Speaker 3: this is where we're going for so m hm.
8:46
Speaker 8: Hell now some queenlyn Belus blimds this so much goun
8:50
Speaker 8: on me to you guys. He got rock, there's metal,
8:52
Speaker 8: there's bit of pop, there's blues, there's heaviness. Is he
8:56
Speaker 8: got so much gown on and on paper that shouldn't work,
8:59
Speaker 8: but some yous make it so difficult.
9:03
Speaker 7: Is that you get the balance ride in the creative process.
9:09
Speaker 4: It's it's challenging primarily because there is so much going on,
9:14
Speaker 4: and we were we're trying to bring that CD to
9:16
Speaker 4: the live show. There's so much nothing really repeats on
9:19
Speaker 4: the on the CD of the album. Every time we
9:22
Speaker 4: do a chorus or a pre chorus or a verse,
9:24
Speaker 4: it's different than the last time, and all the breaks
9:26
Speaker 4: between are different from the you know, so there's a
9:29
Speaker 4: lot of a lot of used to there's It never
9:32
Speaker 4: gets boring, I'll tell you that. And we're just trying
9:34
Speaker 4: to kind of keep with that, keep the sonic, you know,
9:37
Speaker 4: the soundscape the same, and keep the changes the same
9:40
Speaker 4: and just kind of bring it to the live show.
9:43
Speaker 4: But like you say, yeah, there's a lot of different
9:45
Speaker 4: things there that Fortunately we've got a great lineup of
9:48
Speaker 4: musicians here that are able to cover pretty much all grounds.
9:51
Speaker 4: So yeah, we've got we're able to do.
9:54
Speaker 6: Uh.
9:56
Speaker 4: You know, if there's anything that we can't on the album,
9:58
Speaker 4: it's probably because we just don't have enough fingers and
10:00
Speaker 4: hands and you're eating stuff because there's so there's there's
10:03
Speaker 4: quite a bit on there, but it's.
10:06
Speaker 8: Right because there's only one female sitting there. But have
10:09
Speaker 8: you guys got two female vicals?
10:12
Speaker 5: Yeah we do. Yeah, Sammy couldn't be here with us today,
10:15
Speaker 5: right right.
10:16
Speaker 8: That's one of the one a few bands I can
10:18
Speaker 8: think of. It's actually got two female laid vitalists. How
10:22
Speaker 8: do you write the dynamics of that way.
10:24
Speaker 7: Get a band?
10:25
Speaker 5: Yeah?
10:26
Speaker 6: Yeah, we get asked that a lot. Actually, the there
10:30
Speaker 6: there are several bands out there that, uh that have
10:33
Speaker 6: several females or two female leads, but I would say
10:37
Speaker 6: probably the most prominent one is Hart that most people would.
10:39
Speaker 5: Would think of.
10:40
Speaker 6: And uh, initially in our formation, they were a big
10:43
Speaker 6: inspiration for us and you probably can hear that in
10:46
Speaker 6: some of our songs. And then we sort of deviated
10:48
Speaker 6: from that in this new album into our own brand
10:51
Speaker 6: and our own feel and that's what's really exciting.
10:53
Speaker 5: And and yeah, you know, it's it's different.
10:57
Speaker 6: It's different than than what you'll then what you would
11:00
Speaker 6: expect from any other show because we do have those
11:04
Speaker 6: the two female president and what's amazing is that we
11:07
Speaker 6: have You know, me and Sammy come from a similar background,
11:11
Speaker 6: and we come from the same level of education and professionalism,
11:16
Speaker 6: so there's not really there's no ego between us, you
11:19
Speaker 6: know what I mean. Yeah, We're always about what serves
11:21
Speaker 6: the song and what's going to serve the show and
11:23
Speaker 6: the performance, and that's what's really cool.
11:26
Speaker 8: Yeah, and you both classically trying to accomplished opera singer.
11:30
Speaker 8: So out of the two worlds of music transition with each.
11:33
Speaker 7: Other, like opera three to had rotten sort of metal.
11:37
Speaker 6: Yeah, Well, her and I have have have different stories,
11:41
Speaker 6: but they the paths just kept kind of crossing like this,
11:45
Speaker 6: and so that's why we're we're here together.
11:47
Speaker 5: But we got our we got our bachelor's.
11:50
Speaker 6: Degrees together at the same place, Northern Arizona University.
11:55
Speaker 5: She went to Indiana and started to study her master's degree.
11:59
Speaker 6: I went to Italy and I did a I did
12:02
Speaker 6: a summer program and I got to do leads. And
12:06
Speaker 6: that was really enlightening for me because it really was
12:09
Speaker 6: clear how.
12:11
Speaker 5: Demanding and competitive, competitive the classical world was.
12:16
Speaker 6: And while I was a player at that time, I
12:20
Speaker 6: was actually having more fun going into the little bars
12:23
Speaker 6: in Italy and like playing on their piano and playing
12:25
Speaker 6: rock and playing bob and like not singing classical music.
12:29
Speaker 6: You know. So when I came back, I decided to deviate.
12:31
Speaker 6: I wanted to find modern styles I wanted to do.
12:35
Speaker 6: I wanted to find a band, And that's how I
12:36
Speaker 6: ended up with Limberlost. And so strangely, after we parted ways.
12:41
Speaker 6: You know, we were not super close friends in our bachelors,
12:44
Speaker 6: but we knew each other. We were friends vicariously. It's
12:47
Speaker 6: sort of like you know when you when you get
12:49
Speaker 6: a when you get a vocal degree, you're kind of
12:51
Speaker 6: put in someone's studio. It's kind of like a house
12:53
Speaker 6: in Hogwarts. So like she was she was in like Hufflepuff,
12:57
Speaker 6: and I was in like Raven Clock, you know what I.
12:59
Speaker 5: Mean, Because like I knew her.
13:01
Speaker 6: We were friends, but like I was a raven Plat,
13:05
Speaker 6: she was a hub Pop.
13:05
Speaker 5: That's how go.
13:10
Speaker 6: We end up moving to Seattle the exact same day
13:12
Speaker 6: out of nowhere. We're like no way. So we become friends,
13:15
Speaker 6: become really good friends. I join a rock band, she
13:18
Speaker 6: joins a metal band.
13:19
Speaker 5: It's just this.
13:20
Speaker 6: Really cool thing that ended up getting these like weird
13:22
Speaker 6: ties that we had together that when the when the
13:24
Speaker 6: opportunity became available and I was looking for who's who
13:27
Speaker 6: is that second singer going to be in this brand,
13:30
Speaker 6: she was the one who came to mind, and so
13:31
Speaker 6: it was really it was very kism.
13:33
Speaker 4: It was awesome actually, between opera and metal, of all
13:37
Speaker 4: the kind of popular music genres, there's more cross over there.
13:40
Speaker 4: They're closer together than any others. And I think the
13:43
Speaker 4: reason is is to sing metal, well, you have to
13:46
Speaker 4: have some training unlike a lot of pop music, or
13:50
Speaker 4: you'll just burn yourself out. And so maybe that's why
13:54
Speaker 4: now we don't do a lot of operatic style metal
13:56
Speaker 4: or anything like that. But there is there is. You
14:00
Speaker 4: can't deny that. There's a lot of that if you
14:02
Speaker 4: just look for it. And I think they're just closer
14:04
Speaker 4: than you would think actually.
14:08
Speaker 8: Lost Also welcome to Kapa Niakins on this album too,
14:11
Speaker 8: with Steve I'm from Middle Church up there by himself
14:14
Speaker 8: joining on bison, his son Devin joining on guitar. So
14:17
Speaker 8: this is your time, DeShawn Jars. What did each of
14:19
Speaker 8: them bring to the band and this album particularly.
14:26
Speaker 4: We may be looking for another guitar player.
14:34
Speaker 3: Okay, so I gotta say that when when we were,
14:38
Speaker 3: you know, shopping this and starting to think about the
14:40
Speaker 3: band that was going to pull this off, because, like
14:42
Speaker 3: Brittany had said, we kind of wed just come off
14:44
Speaker 3: a little minute, you know. We did the European thing,
14:46
Speaker 3: and then we had a couple of shows and I
14:48
Speaker 3: start just rally thing the following year. But the band
14:51
Speaker 3: was kind of disintegrating a little bit at that point,
14:54
Speaker 3: and so as we pushed forward, it was very clear
14:59
Speaker 3: that we probably weren't going to be able to go
15:01
Speaker 3: forward with the membership that we had and accomplished the
15:03
Speaker 3: things that we were trying.
15:04
Speaker 2: To do, not because there wasn't capabilities there.
15:07
Speaker 3: There's just different creative direction, you know, that was going
15:11
Speaker 3: to present itself. So I remember that talking to Paul
15:16
Speaker 3: Crosby and he says, Oh, we'll just hire guys down
15:18
Speaker 3: here in Nashville and you know, Houston, because that's where
15:20
Speaker 3: we were at the time.
15:21
Speaker 2: We were in Nashville, and I.
15:23
Speaker 3: Was like, you know, there's some people back home I
15:25
Speaker 3: really would love to explore before we go down that road,
15:28
Speaker 3: and this kid right here was one of them. The
15:33
Speaker 3: and Brittanil backed me up and I said, I really
15:34
Speaker 3: want to talk to Devin. I go because he really
15:38
Speaker 3: impressed me a couple of times when I'd asked him
15:41
Speaker 3: to do some work with us, but things just weren't
15:43
Speaker 3: going to work out.
15:43
Speaker 2: But it was how he handled that that really impressed me.
15:46
Speaker 3: And he's just a great player, you know. I'm like, said,
15:49
Speaker 3: we've been crossing. I saw this kid play when he
15:51
Speaker 3: was like fifteen.
15:51
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know.
15:52
Speaker 3: In fact, I think he opened up cover bands that
15:55
Speaker 3: I was back then, and you know, and so it
15:59
Speaker 3: was just kind of that that whole deal was like, yeah,
16:01
Speaker 3: I really think Devin would be the guy for this,
16:03
Speaker 3: and especially with some of the stuff we were writing,
16:05
Speaker 3: I could just see him performing it, which, by the way,
16:08
Speaker 3: he kills, he brings life to this. The song is
16:12
Speaker 3: way better than I think we even anticipated, and well,
16:16
Speaker 3: thank you sir. But it was funny because I reached
16:20
Speaker 3: out to him and like most you know, thirty year olds,
16:22
Speaker 3: they don't answer their text right away, and so like
16:27
Speaker 3: a couple two or three days ago, by it, I
16:29
Speaker 3: hadn't heard back from him, and I was like, you know,
16:31
Speaker 3: I really should probably call the old man. You know,
16:34
Speaker 3: that's who my buddy is. And I don't want to
16:36
Speaker 3: think I'm a kid and all that so I called
16:38
Speaker 3: Steve and uh, you know, we were driving around. He's like, well, yeah, heck,
16:41
Speaker 3: can I go, Well, I'm looking for guitar and looking
16:43
Speaker 3: for bass. I was trying to reach out to Devin,
16:44
Speaker 3: and he goes, well, send me the stuff and I'll
16:46
Speaker 3: check it out and I'll see if I can know
16:47
Speaker 3: some people and all that. So, you know, I never
16:51
Speaker 3: really because Steve is one of these guys that you know,
16:54
Speaker 3: he's well he's a local legend for one, but you know,
17:00
Speaker 3: he's a you know, you know, he's you know, I've
17:04
Speaker 3: always looked at Steve and marveled at what he does.
17:06
Speaker 3: He's full time, you know, he's out there touring. He's
17:08
Speaker 3: been with Metal Church since the early two thousands, and
17:11
Speaker 3: you know, I mean I've just you know, he's got
17:13
Speaker 3: this great story career that he's had and working with
17:15
Speaker 3: Autograph and several other bands, and you know, it just
17:18
Speaker 3: didn't really resonate with me that Steve would be either
17:22
Speaker 3: in a position or.
17:23
Speaker 2: Interested to do what we were doing.
17:24
Speaker 3: But I definitely was interested in talking to Devin and
17:27
Speaker 3: then lo and behold, I sent the stuff to Steve
17:29
Speaker 3: and he calls me back and he goes, well, what
17:32
Speaker 3: do you think about having a bass player? You know,
17:36
Speaker 3: I'll let them tell their stories from there. But you know, I,
17:39
Speaker 3: you know, it just really was better than I expected
17:44
Speaker 3: in terms of, you know, having these two joint. I'm
17:46
Speaker 3: very tickled that they joined. I'm excited that and the
17:50
Speaker 3: way things have come together and are sounding are just insane.
17:53
Speaker 3: I can't wait for people to see us live and
17:56
Speaker 3: see what we're what we're.
17:57
Speaker 2: Doing and here the album when it pops out here.
17:59
Speaker 8: In a couple of weeks, Nice I wrote about from
18:02
Speaker 8: you guys perspective, what did you just want to be
18:04
Speaker 8: part of me?
18:04
Speaker 7: Lost you go ahead?
18:07
Speaker 4: Oh?
18:07
Speaker 10: Well, uh, like Mike said, you know, he reached out
18:11
Speaker 10: to uh, to me to see if I knew it
18:13
Speaker 10: he'd be interested, and uh, you know, at the time,
18:17
Speaker 10: it's like, there's there was no way, there's really no
18:19
Speaker 10: way I could take on more work. But I heard
18:22
Speaker 10: the stuff. I said, send me the tracks that you
18:24
Speaker 10: guys are working on, and uh I heard it. I
18:27
Speaker 10: was like, God, damn, these guys spread their wings and
18:30
Speaker 10: grew up. Man, I mean, this is really good ship.
18:36
Speaker 2: He said, Yeah. They messaged the two times, but I
18:38
Speaker 2: haven't gotten back to him yet. And I was like, well,
18:41
Speaker 2: check this stuff out. Then at to the Devin and
18:43
Speaker 2: he got back right away. What the fuck? So the material.
18:53
Speaker 11: That I was like, man, I think we should make
18:56
Speaker 11: time to be a part of this thing.
18:58
Speaker 12: And uh, you know, so we've been involved here for
19:00
Speaker 12: what with you guys, and uh you know you paunched
19:05
Speaker 12: the album and uh we got dates coming up here, man,
19:08
Speaker 12: And I'm really excited about all the cool things that
19:11
Speaker 12: are going to be happening here real soon.
19:15
Speaker 4: Important takeaway there is that Devin does get his messages,
19:18
Speaker 4: but he just doesn't respond to them.
19:19
Speaker 2: Okay, he sent me.
19:21
Speaker 9: I got one message. I forgot to respond because I.
19:24
Speaker 1: Think I was a little tipsy when I got it
19:25
Speaker 1: and I forgot to respond to it. And then my
19:27
Speaker 1: dad called me and I was like, oh, ship, that's
19:29
Speaker 1: what I got.
19:29
Speaker 2: Mike was sexting me a couple of nights ago, and.
19:33
Speaker 9: I didn't purposely ignore them. I literally just forgot about it.
19:38
Speaker 1: And then my dad got ahold of me and sent
19:39
Speaker 1: me the stuff and I was like, yeah, dude, this
19:41
Speaker 1: is so cool, man, this is bad.
19:42
Speaker 9: This material is great. Yeah, so I made it.
19:45
Speaker 1: I made a point to get back asap to him
19:48
Speaker 1: on that, especially after I heard the songs because because like,
19:50
Speaker 1: I don't really if I didn't actually like the material,
19:53
Speaker 1: I don't even care if I'm getting paid. Well, if
19:55
Speaker 1: I don't like the material, it's hard for me to
19:56
Speaker 1: be interested in any anything if I don't.
19:59
Speaker 9: But I actually enjoy all of these songs like that.
20:01
Speaker 9: They're actually good songs in my opinion, So it made
20:03
Speaker 9: me want to.
20:04
Speaker 1: Be a part of it, even if it was just
20:06
Speaker 1: even it was just for like for a feeling or something,
20:08
Speaker 1: I wanted to learn these songs and play them just
20:10
Speaker 1: because it was fun and they sounded good. And here
20:13
Speaker 1: I am and now I'm actually in the band. I'm
20:15
Speaker 1: grateful to be a part of this project. I think
20:17
Speaker 1: it's going to go really far.
20:19
Speaker 7: Yeah, that you just playing this Tuf you got his
20:21
Speaker 7: both played on the album record.
20:25
Speaker 1: They put this stuff together. Yeah, so it's our job
20:28
Speaker 1: to like recreate it. And and that was that was
20:31
Speaker 1: that was the part, in my opinion, we had.
20:34
Speaker 11: To learn what was played on the album, and uh,
20:38
Speaker 11: for me.
20:38
Speaker 10: It was it was really difficult because it is completely
20:43
Speaker 10: different from what I would have played.
20:45
Speaker 7: On an album.
20:46
Speaker 2: Uh, not that it's not good, because it.
20:49
Speaker 12: Is good, but it's Uh, the playing on the album
20:52
Speaker 12: is a whole lot more disciplined.
20:55
Speaker 11: And each note is accounted for in a each notees
21:01
Speaker 11: not usually accounted for the way I play, I mean
21:04
Speaker 11: supported every military album. Yes, they're in a place for
21:08
Speaker 11: every single note. But it's always it's always been about
21:11
Speaker 11: pushing and you know, making the band go faster and
21:14
Speaker 11: faster and harder and harder.
21:16
Speaker 2: And it's just the opposite with this.
21:19
Speaker 11: It's about grabbing the reins and pulling the whole thing
21:22
Speaker 11: back and just like holding this tidal wave of sound
21:26
Speaker 11: back from crashing on the beach. And so the hard
21:29
Speaker 11: work of this is less is more, And it's been
21:35
Speaker 11: the hardest thing for me is to be wrapping my
21:37
Speaker 11: mind around that, you know, saying less notes, just more
21:40
Speaker 11: disciplined in the way playing them.
21:43
Speaker 2: So that's that's been the struggle for me.
21:46
Speaker 8: Yeah, so so so now you mentioned love shows before,
21:49
Speaker 8: and you've got a couple coming up. You've got one
21:51
Speaker 8: and Oldest twenty third on the mind side of the
21:53
Speaker 8: International Singer Songwriter Association Awards in Atlanta, and the other
21:56
Speaker 8: is part of the Rock the LUs Festival. I'll set
21:59
Speaker 8: ten to twenty eight alongside Say That Dirty Honey Blacks
22:02
Speaker 8: and Cherry and us enough and more so tell us
22:04
Speaker 8: about that.
22:05
Speaker 7: I like good shows.
22:07
Speaker 4: But we've been in contact with the Isaac folks for years,
22:10
Speaker 4: probably pre COVID. Yeah, so we we actually uh, we
22:15
Speaker 4: were supposed to be actually playing there and accepting I
22:19
Speaker 4: think we were banned of the year an album of
22:20
Speaker 4: the year. Uh, and then then the COVID thing happened
22:23
Speaker 4: and we can then they canceled it that year. Uh,
22:25
Speaker 4: we just kind of went to the Midwest and just
22:26
Speaker 4: started touring it all anywhere that was open. But we've
22:30
Speaker 4: always been in touch with them, and uh, this year,
22:32
Speaker 4: this year, we're actually up for I believe four more
22:34
Speaker 4: awards and we're gonna be presenting an award and we'll
22:37
Speaker 4: get to play. So I'd be right if we actually
22:39
Speaker 4: won and got to play. Yeah, but we're putting together
22:43
Speaker 4: some shows, you know, to make the to make the
22:45
Speaker 4: trip a little more financially reasonable. We're gonna do some
22:48
Speaker 4: shows between Texas and Florida and that that's really exciting.
22:52
Speaker 4: And we've got you know, Third Eye Blind, there's Dirty Honey,
22:55
