  Speaker 1: Over the moon it's finally here. Yeah, really really happy.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: It's a very personal album, as I guess all albums are,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: but this is especially and we had to put it
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: off for about six months due to some commitments I
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: had earlier last year, so I had to Yeah, I
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: had to put it off. And here it is, finally fantastic.
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: So can you dive a bit deeper into it from
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: a musical point of view and tell us all you're
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: going forward with it?
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: Look, it's an honest album.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: It's an album full of emotion and I guess real
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: life experience.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: And it's a rock and bitch and blues rock album.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: I reckon. That's that's sort of how we feel about it.
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: We are we're not just blues, we're not just rock,
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: we're not just heavy rock.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: We're a bit of everything. So we like to call
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: it Bitch and blues rock.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: Nize.
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: The album opens with a hard rocking track card you
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: Ain't Falling Me. So tell us about the thought process
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: behind starting with that particular song.
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: I just wanted to slappy in the face. I wanted
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: to come I wanted to come out with a bang
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: song with a bit of attitude.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: And you know, I guess you know a song that
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: you know talks about opinions and people might have different
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: opinions on things, but they don't always base them on facts.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: But you know, the main thing is people are entitled
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: to their opinion even if you don't agree with it.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: So that kind of song, yeah, cool, let's mess them
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: through the album.
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: It would have been hard for you to pick singles
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: to release of it because there's not one one song
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: there that encatulates the whole album. Is it like there's
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: a bit of You've got some hard rock in there,
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: you've got some blues and some rock. Like there would
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: have been hard to choose the songs to represent the
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: whole package.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: Definitely.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: I kind of feel the style of the song forty
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: two Days is a bit of a.
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: Mix of all of that. But yeah, it was really
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: hard because there you know, it's it's.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: A bit of an eclectic album, I guess style wise.
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, imagine that eglecting, so like there isn't ris mixture
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: of blues rock and hard rock, as I say, But
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: how difficult was it for you to get the balance
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: right between those genres so that you didn't go too
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: far in one direction or not far enough in another.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: It was Hey, we actually had some extra songs that
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: didn't make it on the album because we had too many,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: which is a great problem to have so ready for
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: the next one, a couple already already to go. So
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: I guess we had that luxury of choosing, you know,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: the right mix and just to have a bit of
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: light and shade as well instead of all just flat out.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: Or you know, one style.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: And you mentioned before the fact that you did have
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: to put the album off for a bit, and that
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: was because of the fact that you appeared on The
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: Voice in.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Twenty twenty five, So you recorded the album after that,
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: I believe.
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: So how did being on the Voice influence the overall album?
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Well, we recorded some of it was recorded beforehand, actually,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: and then we had the rest was recorded after.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: Oh.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Look, you know, you come away a lot wiser from
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: experiences like that. You know, it's a television show, which
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: was a great experience. I learned a lot and saw
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: a lot, but it was, you know, just really good
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: to I.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: Guess have that experience.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: And also the opportunity to bring rock and roll onto
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: national television was really great. So representing rock and representing
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: you know, the older rockers as well.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: It's really good.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: And you imagined that you did record some before you
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: went on the Voice and some after.
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: But did you find that the stuff you're doing after
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: being on the voice was different in a way because
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: of the experiences that you've had in someone knew like that.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, look, I was probably a bit more relaxed about things.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: I'm not that I'm not relaxed, but it was just
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: a bit, like, I guess, even more determined than ever,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: if that makes sense, just to.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: Be who we are, be who I am, and.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Really just sort of I guess where it all and
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: were it all on my sleeve?
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: You know, we were in.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Your heart on your sleeve, but just really giving it
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: a real two hundred percent crack and not worrying about anything.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Nice.
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: Do you remember the first time you heard one of
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: your songs played on radio and what song was it?
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: And where were you?
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Oh gosh, I think that was when I was living
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: in Queensland.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that would have been I Reckon.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: About twenty years ago, I had a country rock album out.
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: What song was it?
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: It was.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Might have been Freedom or it could have been to
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Life I'm in Again, but yeah, it was on national radio.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: So that was pretty cool and pretty strange. At the same.
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: Time, Rose Carlo Band are already part way through a
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: national so I haven't hit Sydney and Queensland already.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: So how are the show's been going?
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: Really really good?
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so Mick and I did run in Queensland in April.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: In April, I just did some duo shows.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: But you know, the whole thing is, I mean, we
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: didn't have our rhythm section with us, but us doing
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: a duo show is kind of like the band.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: I still seem like I'm with the band, so it's
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: like I see.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: Any softer but really really good, really great response, really
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: great response to the new music as well, and just
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: really great to connect with you fans and old friends
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: as well.
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: So have any of the songs off the new album
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: like either gone down better than what you thought they?
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: Would live or maybe not as good as what you
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: thought they would have lived.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I must say there's quite there's three in particular that.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: Have really gone down world where I've gone. Oh, I
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: wasn't too sure about.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: Them because I think into your own heads sometimes, you know.
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: So yeah, really really good.
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and next year off to South Australia for the
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: very first time over the weekend of Made twenty second,
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: twenty third and twenty four so on behalf of South Australians.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: Why have you neglected them for so long?
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: I guess just not finding the right venues and having
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: the right turrounders around sourcing the right venues that will
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: suit us.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: That's that's a real big thing.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: You know a lot of people might say, oh, come here,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: play there, play there, play there.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: But the venue might not do you what you're doing.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: So very fortunate to have the great team around us
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: with Cat and Maney and everyone.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: So that's been really really good.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: And you know, just like Queensland finding us the right venues,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: the whole plan.
