Latest / Identity at the Center / #188 - Oktane 22 - Closing Oktane with Eric Anderson
Transcript
- 0:09You're listening to the identity at the center podcast.
- 0:12This is a show that talks about identity and access management
- 0:15and making sure you know who has access to what let's get
- 0:18started. Welcome to the identity of the
- 0:26center podcast I'm Jeff and that's Jim.
- 0:27Hey Jim hey Jeff, how are you? Not so bad yourself.
- 0:30Good. I'm a little bit happy and a
- 0:32little bit sad. I'm sad because this the end of
- 0:35the conference and I've had a fantastic time here, got to see
- 0:39a lot of old friends and record a lot of great podcast.
- 0:42Make new friends. I'm kind of happy because this
- 0:46podcast is with a one of those old friends Eric and I won't
- 0:52steal your thunder. I know recipient about.
- 0:54Yeah. Let's introduce some Eric
- 0:55Anderson director Enterprise security at Adobe.
- 0:58Welcome back. Eric.
- 0:58Well thanks for having me. It's fun to see you guys.
- 1:00It's been a while. Last time you were with us was
- 1:03episode 91 way back. Mather. 2021 we are now an
- 1:09episode. This will be 188 and for the
- 1:11record is November 10th 2022. So a little bit almost a year
- 1:15and a half you know, kind of rough.
- 1:16Huh. But we actually saw each other
- 1:19not too long ago. I was at the Afeni cake.
- 1:21I think Kate in Seattle. Yeah.
- 1:23Randy. Which was like, Hey, I know that
- 1:24guy. Yeah, that's the guy that got me
- 1:26turned on to the struts and I haven't let him go down ever
- 1:28since and we're going to get into that.
- 1:31But yes, we are at the octane conference, it is the last day,
- 1:34literally the last hours, it wouldn't surprise me that this
- 1:37white room that OCTA has generously donated to us to have
- 1:41a space, to record in starts, crumbling around us, as they are
- 1:46kind of breaking things down, so we'll try to, we'll try to keep
- 1:49it to a dull Roar in here. So definitely thanks to OCTA for
- 1:52supporting us, you know, all week.
- 1:54Against even strong MVP, totally went to at bat for us and kind
- 1:58of helped us you know get a whole bunch of great guests.
- 2:00So this will be the last in the series of episodes that
- 2:03hopefully, people have checked out.
- 2:04We had you hanging out Pace this morning, that recorded.
- 2:07It went live probably a couple days ago but it's time you hear
- 2:09this as well as a shiv ramji had Alvina.
- 2:11Aunt are just a ton of good people from the octave side that
- 2:16wouldn't have been on if we didn't have people like Steven
- 2:18advocating for a. So again thank you very much
- 2:20Steven. And thanks to our SM for
- 2:22sponsoring Us by getting us out here.
- 2:24And paying for the travel. So thank you very much for that.
- 2:28Let's talk about Octane and I think Eric the way that I want I
- 2:33want to start is let's just catch up.
- 2:35It's been a year and a half I guess we're not going to have.
- 2:38You go back to your whole identity background, we cover
- 2:40that go back and listen episode 91.
- 2:42But what's new like what's changed in the last year?
- 2:44Or so I guess professionally or in your world of identity that
- 2:50you've been thinking about like the the biggest change or I
- 2:54guess I wouldn't use the use the word change.
- 2:56I'd say it's more of a new emphasis placed on devices.
- 3:00You know, we've spent the last four years rolling out zero
- 3:03trust, really focusing on securing identities, and we've
- 3:07done some device components of it, but now it's really we're
- 3:11seeing the technology grow and making it easier to scale out.
- 3:15And so we spent the last year, really emphasizing managed
- 3:20equipment and making sure all employees and nobody's enrolled
- 3:23in managed devices. So we can use that as a platform
- 3:26and then the other Focus we had just started the journey.
- 3:29When we met last time, I've really vendor security.
- 3:33I'm looking at how do we get the same visibility and the security
- 3:36and, and the signals from from a vendor own device and vendor
- 3:44accounts. And so, we've really dialed that
- 3:47up and and and been able to focus on that over the lab.
- 3:50Since we last met you guys have been working on some really cool
- 3:53stuff. Obviously we're here at the OCTA
- 3:56conference. I could use a compass I guess so
- 3:59explain just a little bit. How are using octane that in
- 4:02this picture are using the workforce identity Cloud?
- 4:06The customer identity cloud or a little bit of both.
- 4:09For the Enterprise, we're using the workforce identity Cloud.
- 4:13We've been one of the early customers of okhta.
- 4:15They are part of our journey through zero trust we've got
- 4:20several vendors and when we first started down the zero
- 4:24trust Journey. One of our one of our priorities
- 4:27was, how do we leverage existing Investments?
- 4:29Because at the time there and there's I would argue the
- 4:32probably still isn't but time there was no single vendor, that
- 4:34could deliver zero trust. He had to kind of find best of
- 4:37breeds and and Adobe has always been a best of breed type of
- 4:41type of company. So we took our investments in
- 4:44Octa, and at the time, some VMware products, and digits,
- 4:48certain some of our vendors and we stitch those together to
- 4:51deliver our version one of us, Trust and one of the things we
- 4:56are pretty proud of is some of the partnership's that OCTA has
- 5:00with VMware, was us coming to both of them as existing
- 5:03customers saying, hey you guys should make this stuff work with
- 5:06that stuff and we help facilitated that and they helped
- 5:09us get our zero. Trust off the ground by building
- 5:11a partnership with VMware, an OCTA, they gave us our first
- 5:16iteration of password length, n equation using certificates is
- 5:20that really helped? Could get that off the ground
- 5:22and 2018, it's not something. A lot of companies can do its
- 5:26coffin. Say, Hey, you know,
- 5:28billion-dollar company we'd like you to work better with this
- 5:30other, you know? I'm not sure if they're billion
- 5:32dollar, but I'm yeah, right there pretty big, is, I think
- 5:34that's probably a benefit of having come from Adobe, right?
- 5:36Is to say, hey, here is something.
- 5:38And not only in the, in the, from a use case for such a, it's
- 5:41a problem to solve. Yeah.
- 5:43So being sort of a will to leverage sort of your weight of
- 5:46who you are and your brand and your own power to kind of
- 5:49influence the direction a little bit of product to some degree.
- 5:53I think that's a, I think it's a cool.
- 5:54Yeah, I would say it I don't know if I would say it Dobies
- 5:57thrown around their way. We're creative companies like
- 6:00hey let's find a creative solution where software
- 6:03Engineers we want to bring people together.
- 6:05And, you know, a lot of our brand is around, you know,
- 6:09customer experience and the like and so that it was a great
- 6:12opportunity to kind of just say, hey, we've got, we're all
- 6:14Partners together and let's figure out how can we make this
- 6:17experience better and get some good security out of it.
- 6:20And so it was, it's been pretty cool to see how it of how its
- 6:24Moved Hickok to rolled out of a lot of new functionality or some
- 6:29of the functionality was rolled out before.
- 6:31But you know, you're seeing vast improvements in usually
- 6:35lifecycle management the workflow capability, of course,
- 6:39you know, all the stuff on the authentication side.
- 6:42Was there anything that jumped out to you that you think like,
- 6:46oh, okay, I definitely could see using that leveraging that at a
- 6:51Dobby I think. If there was any one thing, I
- 6:56think the part I'm more excited about is seeing companies like
- 6:59OCTA and allotted as they're rising up and recognizing the
- 7:03importance of things like identity, governance and
- 7:07privileged identity, vaulting, and the things that, you know,
- 7:10there's there's lots of other companies that were all
- 7:12customers of and we use that have delivered that at the
- 7:15Enterprise scale for years. What I think is kind of kind of
- 7:18neat is you've got other companies like OCTA coming in
- 7:22and talking about how do we deliver this may?
- 7:24Even for small business, you know, and then being able to
- 7:27partner with with these larger vendors that have an established
- 7:31business. How do they complement each
- 7:32other? So how could you take some of
- 7:34the new technologies that were announced this week and feed
- 7:37those into our established Enterprise tools and to enhance
- 7:40those and make those Investments rise Wells?
- 7:42It steers back to the partnership PS, you know, how
- 7:45could we get, you know, ARCA partnering with with some of the
- 7:49other industry leaders in this space and and provide a better
- 7:52solution? And I think there's always been
- 7:54sort of this ecosystem, sort of like friendly or maybe even
- 8:00Frenemy Partners right where it's like yeah there's cyber-ark
- 8:04and they have an alliance with XYZ companies and then you've
- 8:07got sale point. For example, in the IGA space,
- 8:10they have the same type of things and you start going to
- 8:11end up with sort of like these mix and match kind of components
- 8:16from an interoperability standpoint.
- 8:17It's great. I mean, I think you know, having
- 8:19a platform that allows you to develop Integrations on Open
- 8:24Standards, Whatever May certainly makes the platform
- 8:26stronger, right? That's part of the draw of
- 8:28something, like an OCTA where you've got.
- 8:31I think this is something like 7,000 different connectors,
- 8:33right? Like they probably wrote maybe
- 8:35half of those, right? The others might have been
- 8:36crowd-sourced or Mobi whirs result of a specific client
- 8:40saying. Hey, we need actually need a
- 8:41connector for this specific application and then you don't
- 8:45write that in a one-off, you just add that to your portfolio
- 8:48of, hey, we have now. 7001 7002 right.
- 8:51Whoever may be and having that ecosystem, It's a very
- 8:54important. You've got this platform.
- 8:56Now, from a identity provider perspective, where thank you,
- 8:58starting to see some of the vendors in this space, really is
- 9:01trying to trying to establish sort of.
- 9:05We are the platform for identity and I think one of the things we
- 9:07heard this week from the OCTA side is, is their tagline is
- 9:10like the vendor neutral platform for identity and identity
- 9:14belongs to you another tag lines.
- 9:15Get that effort for October. But, you know, from a from your
- 9:19perspective where use it, like how do you see sort of like this
- 9:22identity provider? Worm working out in the real
- 9:26world like is this something that you build upon or do you
- 9:29think that there is still space for other identity providers to
- 9:33sort of act? As you know plugins maybe into
- 9:38your main identity provider. Yeah, I'm a big believer and and
- 9:43centrally managing a lot of these you know with identity
- 9:47being at the center of it. And so I like the idea of a The
- 9:53centralized Center but then you have to your point plugins or
- 9:57auxiliary tools. I mean, there's always going to
- 9:59be smaller little pockets. Where maybe you, you need some
- 10:03capabilities, you know, you think it, you know, we talked a
- 10:05little bit about privilege, you know, there's you know, octaves
- 10:08not there yet. There's some vendors that are
- 10:10well established in that space. And you've got developer needs
- 10:13about being able to automate and access and Cloud accounts.
- 10:17You know, I saw some sessions with some some of the other
- 10:19vendors here talking about, you know, the cloud identities.
- 10:23How you separate those and you've got other other things
- 10:27that I'm seeing emergent guest accounts, you know, you think
- 10:30about tools like slack and office and Microsoft.
- 10:33There's a whole Fleet of guest accounts that kind of fall out
- 10:36of the scope of the central identity manager.
- 10:38But you need visibility and being able to understand how
- 10:40that works. So I see this as an ecosystem
- 10:44for sure. It's nice to have an anchor,
- 10:46it's almost like a mall. You think, you know, you go to
- 10:48the mall and you've got the anchor stores and then all these
- 10:50other stores that sell similar or complementary products.
- 10:53You do want the anchors in place to help kind of Drive the
- 10:56direction but then build in the specialty pieces that really
- 10:59kind of helped Elevate the game so to speak.
- 11:03Who's going to be the Sears or the JCPenney?
- 11:05Yeah, that's right. Right.
- 11:06Gonna have the Nordstrom in the Bloomingdale's and some of those
- 11:08too but there's always you kind of need the variety.
- 11:12Right? How about what's missing from
- 11:15the identity today from a technology standpoint?
- 11:18I feel like we've got sort of this Trinity of products that
- 11:22are in the act. SS management space that do
- 11:25authentication and maybe just some degree, some level of
- 11:27authorization, but it's not really a kind of their focus.
- 11:30Then you've got the identity governance side of things,
- 11:33right, doing sort of, more of the lifecycle management, audit
- 11:35reporting exit certifications, right roles may be, that kind of
- 11:39thing, and they've got privileged access management
- 11:41which could be on-prem privileged access server access
- 11:45or maybe it's Cloud privileged access management is kind of a
- 11:47newer field of keen Cloud infrastructure entitlements
- 11:51management. What are we missing from a
- 11:54technology standpoint to sort of complete the puzzle?
- 11:59Is there anything missing or have we do we have such a magic
- 12:01question. I don't know if we have any.
- 12:03I don't think there's a lack of technology.
- 12:05I think it's really a lack of understanding how to tie them
- 12:11together and have them speak to each other.
- 12:13I mean, I can go back to when we first met.
- 12:16It was through the idea say and you think about all those
- 12:18vendors, you know, octus sale Point cyber-ark, VMware.
- 12:22All these companies are part of that alliance with the idea.
- 12:25Being as how do we kind of build this framework.
- 12:27So we can all talk together. And share information and you
- 12:30know because everybody's going to be better and worse at some
- 12:33things. And so how do we make it?
- 12:34An open shareable transparent space where we're breaking down
- 12:39walled Gardens. So I think if anything is
- 12:42lacking, its people are still building siloed Walled Garden
- 12:46Products that make it really difficult to get information out
- 12:50of it. There seems to be not saying
- 12:53it's a new trend, but it's really like, hey, we want you to
- 12:55use all our stuff, and it's like, that's great.
- 12:58But until it's exactly what I need and works exactly how I
- 13:02want it. I need the flexibility to pick
- 13:05the best of breed at the time and just continuing that type of
- 13:10want to talk about pastoralists. There were probably four or five
- 13:14themes in this conference. The last one was pastoralists
- 13:19you were at the authenticate show as we're Jeff and I
- 13:23obviously Fidos all about password list I guess.
- 13:28My question is look, you've made these great investments in MFA
- 13:34over the years. Do you see Pastor Lewis as an
- 13:38evolution of that stream or you see it as revolutionary?
- 13:43I think it's more evolutionary. I think there's certain Pockets
- 13:48where it can be revolutionary. I think in the end, like in the
- 13:50customer experience space you know if I'm going to shopping on
- 13:56websites, I mean little things like Apple pay recently, you
- 14:00know, being able to use that and have that security.
- 14:03I love that when I'm personally shopping.
- 14:04It's I feel comfortable and I like and then pass wordless.
- 14:08You know, I keep eyes after the authenticated show.
- 14:11I think I saw one might have been PayPal or somebody to talk.
- 14:14They're going to do passkey. I keep going up every day
- 14:16looking to see when it kind of set up my pass key for PayPal.
- 14:18And so I'm all in on that from a personal use from an Enterprise
- 14:22business. You so I think it's evolutionary
- 14:24Because unless you're a brand new startup, that doesn't have
- 14:28any legs. Agassi, you're going to have
- 14:30passwords somewhere in your system.
- 14:32So it's you can say, you're going to be past wordless, you
- 14:36can have systems, we're going to be password list, but somewhere
- 14:38along the way, you're going to hit where you're going to need a
- 14:40password to do something. So I like the idea of obscuring
- 14:45it making it something that maybe the user doesn't need to
- 14:48enter. But I think the other the other
- 14:51fear I have in some ways is as passwords become less, and less
- 14:55upfront. They're going to become the
- 14:58neglected. Child that's sitting back and
- 15:00people are going to forget it's there and then that becomes
- 15:03maybe a point of entry or a security risk.
- 15:05Sydney's to be kind of basically answer.
- 15:07Remember exactly where I was because I think if you're doing
- 15:10Biometrics right, what value does the password add and you
- 15:14kind of stick it as like plan C then it becomes the unhappy path
- 15:22which we know is always the weak point.
- 15:25He wants an occasion chain and that's what the heck is pick on.
- 15:28Yep, so if you get to 100% Biometrics and they're good
- 15:33enough fissionable, man, I think that's that's where it is.
- 15:38It could be revolutionary in terms of wealth.
- 15:41I think the user experience is much better, right?
- 15:44Yeah. I mean you know how annoying is
- 15:46that have like, you have everything.
- 15:48You've got the biometric sounds like now I have to remember this
- 15:51password and some organizations are still requiring Pastor
- 15:56changes and how Aging. Yeah.
- 16:01I feel like I came away from the conference season in 2022
- 16:07saying. Alright, it's here, the password
- 16:10was whether you call it Revolution, Evolution, whatever
- 16:14it's here, it's here. And now and you know of
- 16:17authenticating, we heard a lot of customers talking about it
- 16:20that they're doing it. As you can see, it's very real
- 16:23baked into the octave product. Plus there's vendors on top of a
- 16:27bitch who attend beyond the IDP realm all the way down to the
- 16:32desktop being, you know, biometric base single sign-on
- 16:37password list. So yeah, that was my takeaway.
- 16:41Yeah, I agree. I think it's.
- 16:42I think 2023 is the year while we'll see more and more of the
- 16:46password list. The part I'm excited.
- 16:48The part I'm really anxious to see how it plays out is the true
- 16:51password list. You know, we saw it a fennec,
- 16:53ate a couple of vendors saying, yeah, they're literally no
- 16:56passwords in the system. So there's nothing to go.
- 16:58Outside of your Fido or a biometric, but then I did see
- 17:03someone there to that, they have the great graphic.
- 17:06And the thing we've all talked to me was well, you know,
- 17:07Biometrics are great. Until you know, they, you see it
- 17:11on the James Bond movies. I let's just cut off the hand
- 17:13and put that on the thing and we've got the Biometrics, you
- 17:15know, if you there only how do you fix a compromise biometric,
- 17:21you know, which is always, you know, one of the challenges,
- 17:23just get a little thumb, it's fine.
- 17:24I don't, you just have a backup, you do a 3D print out of your
- 17:28thumb and you got A backup. It's all fun and games until
- 17:30someone loses a hand and that other person suggested The
- 17:33Avengers that we saw that in the Avengers here by really another,
- 17:35the I pray. So I think Biometrics are really
- 17:38cool place to go but it's also how do you have the back up and
- 17:42being able to, you know, the equivalent of the password reset
- 17:47in the password list biometric world?
- 17:49What does that look like? And how is that going to evolve?
- 17:52If you like this is, I'm with you guys on the password will
- 17:54stuff. The part that concerns me is the
- 17:58Specificity when it comes to language, there are a lot of
- 18:02vendors and approaches for password, listen, I'm doing in
- 18:06quotes that you can't see that. There is still a password and
- 18:09play and that was immediately. I was thinking about you
- 18:11mentioned it. There are now some solutions
- 18:14that literally do not have a password.
- 18:15So, you know, you go to like, oh, I'm gonna dump the database
- 18:18and get all the passwords and now there's nothing there,
- 18:21right? Or they're no good for anything,
- 18:22right? I think that is nirvana to get
- 18:25to what concerns me though is messaging around.
- 18:28Oh, we're going past fertilis, but they're still a password
- 18:31somewhere behind the scenes and it's like, obfuscated or it's
- 18:35the unhappy path, or whatever it may be, which I think is good,
- 18:38right? It's still progress.
- 18:40It's still moving things forward.
- 18:41I'll be really excited. When there's, you know, you go
- 18:43to, you go to look at an authentication table or
- 18:46database, whatever it is, and there's nothing there.
- 18:48Or it's like, you know, just a placeholder value.
- 18:50That doesn't mean anything. I think that will be really the
- 18:53sea change moment. And who knows at that point?
- 18:55Maybe it is. Hey, we've 3D printed a new
- 18:57thumb for some yeah. Exactly.
- 18:59And when you get to the point where you, you know, for me,
- 19:01there's anything in between step there or even an evolution past
- 19:04that where you start thinking about it, ephemeral accounts as
- 19:07I hey, the can only exist in the the login, whatever it looks
- 19:10like only exists just in time for this single purpose.
- 19:14So it's you know, even if it is password list or Biometrics,
- 19:18it's gone before it can be used any other way and you got a
- 19:21couple other controls that control.
- 19:23When does that ephemeral begin? Exactly.
- 19:25This concept of zero standing privileges for example, right?
- 19:28Yes You're talking about, you know, things to look for the
- 19:30future. It's like, you know, imagine a
- 19:31password Louis world, it's ephemeral that then all of a
- 19:34sudden becomes something that that makes the Enterprise
- 19:37revolutionary that that point in time and not just evolutionary.
- 19:40Sorry. So now, you've got this session
- 19:43length that we're back to you again.
- 19:45As I guess I feel her go a little bit cyclicals.
- 19:47Like, all right, well we remove the password.
- 19:48Now we have like this no password but it's only good for
- 19:50a certain amount of time. Yeah.
- 19:52And now we're back to okay. Well, how long is that session?
- 19:54Good for right? Exactly.
- 19:55How do I steal? Yeah, that well, imagine if you
- 19:58could base Add on like user Behavior.
- 20:01Analytic squared, understands, you know, how what you're typing
- 20:04patterns are or, were there or how how you work efficiently and
- 20:08it could intelligent go? Hey, Will I know if it's Jim
- 20:10logging and he's going to need 10 minutes to do this.
- 20:14Jeff may need 15 minutes and so it can kind of add intelligence
- 20:17to kind of making a customized ephemeral.
- 20:20I'm thinking about continuous authentication.
- 20:23Yeah, Point especially using something like a camera you're
- 20:27sitting there on the computer. Peter maybe you can dial down
- 20:31the how accurate had attached to be because they give out the
- 20:36windows. Hello scenario, where it's
- 20:38hitting you with the camera. You actually have to eyeball
- 20:41into the camera for it to authenticate you.
- 20:45I wonder if there's some lower level is like oh Jim still
- 20:48there. It's not looking but we can
- 20:50recognize this face without am looking at the car.
- 20:53Oh yeah that's interesting. Yeah, that Windows.
- 20:55Hello is a little bit interesting because I have it on
- 20:58my computer. And if you have it set up
- 21:00through Windows, you do have to stare at the camera.
- 21:03How are you supposed to click? OK, if you can't.
- 21:05Yeah, exactly. Yeah.
- 21:06The usability is a little bit F. I get the concept it works.
- 21:12But I, you know, I mommy times. I'm like, I'm looking at my
- 21:14gotta hit the o.k. button. I'm like trying to that.
- 21:16Move my head or my eyes? Yeah, kind of hit over
- 21:18peripheral vision. I think there's still some work.
- 21:20We've done. There's some user experience
- 21:22issues that need to be resolved for that kind of stuff plus the
- 21:24Privacy side to, right. I think there is a concern of
- 21:26like well this camera is always on, you know.
- 21:28Know, what else is a collecting and where is that data going?
- 21:31And people naturally, well, you know, some will trust it some
- 21:35won't and they'll be a whole bunch of people who aren't sure
- 21:37until, yeah, something else happens.
- 21:39I think of you, there's a lot of that car cameras now, in the
- 21:41cabin to detect, how sleepy you are right.
- 21:46You know, maybe you're wearing sunglasses, or maybe?
- 21:48I don't know something happened. You know.
- 21:49And you aren't sleepy but it's detecting.
- 21:52It's a kind of a false positive. Like, I think it's an
- 21:54interesting concept. Yeah, I agree.
- 21:56Let's see how it works with The Cars.
- 21:57First. And see how that works out,
- 21:59like, pull it forward. But yeah, continuous medication
- 22:02will be interesting. You mentioned the keystroke,
- 22:03Dynamics, typing, Cadence, right.
- 22:05That's like that. I find that interesting because
- 22:07people do have such different, you know, patterns of typing and
- 22:11certainly people who learned, how to type, and maybe they
- 22:13learn how to type on a typewriter like a literally
- 22:16typewriter, or maybe it's a keyboard, or maybe they never
- 22:19learn type in. They kind of hunt and Peck
- 22:20around. It is interesting that some be
- 22:23able to see some of those Technologies over the years.
- 22:24And, you know, it was interesting.
- 22:26Then I can only imagine that it's gotten Better.
- 22:29Yeah but it does require you know, some agent to sit on it
- 22:34and the device to then say okay well this is how you type on
- 22:38your laptop. How do you type on your on your
- 22:41phone? What if it's a full keyboard
- 22:43versus a smaller keyboard ever change?
- 22:45Yeah. All that stuff, I think
- 22:47introduces a lot of variance and I think trying to simplify it
- 22:50would make a lot of sense and as we're moving more towards the
- 22:52voice to you know, and interact different kinds of interfaces,
- 22:56you know, how do you evolve that?
- 22:57But I mean it's all Olds profile of patterns and behaviors that.
- 23:02Maybe it can make Intelligent Decisions on?
- 23:04Yeah. Well, they turned the lights on
- 23:06which I think is down around those.
- 23:08Yeah. It's like the bar right?
- 23:10The lights go on. Are we supposed to get out?
- 23:12Let's go ahead and end on a lighter note.
- 23:14I'm not going to let you live it down because you and I want to
- 23:17thank you because I love the struts.
- 23:19Can't get enough of them. Give me something new to listen
- 23:21to what's a new music artist Band, Whatever doesn't have to
- 23:26be like new on the scene, right? Like somebody that you would
- 23:30like totally recommend people check out.
- 23:32I've been really digging lately. I learned about this band about
- 23:35five, six years ago on Jools Holland.
- 23:38You know, he has a show in the BBC, where they does a Friday
- 23:40night show and new bands. So this band they're out of
- 23:43Boston, they're called Lake Street, Dive and they're
- 23:48amazing. They they they put out their
- 23:49latest album last year. A couple of your songs actually
- 23:53made, right AirPlay. But they're older stuff is
- 23:56amazing. And Kind of have a jazzy tone.
- 23:59I think the lead singers, she and her brother, or somebody has
- 24:02like a side gig of a jazz band to but their music is
- 24:07spectacular, they're singing is great.
- 24:08So so Lake Street, Dive Lake Street Dive.
- 24:12Okay. I'll have to check that one.
- 24:13Completely the opposite of the strides to.
- 24:15So I've totally different and it's me.
- 24:17Hey you know what it take it. Variety is good Jim, how about
- 24:20yourself? Any new owner name one.
- 24:22Okay, I might be like, that's not new Dave, fendley not
- 24:26familiar. Okay, does a lot Lot of covers.
- 24:29I mean this guy has got an amazing boys, so I'm going to
- 24:33recommend this song stuck on you, which is Huey Lewis cover.
- 24:38Yes. And who is this?
- 24:41It's a cover. There's a guy on American Idol
- 24:46now. John, Legend, Lionel, Richie
- 24:50Lionel, Richie. So it's stuck on you by La
- 24:52verdad. Stuck on you.
- 24:53Yes. Mind-blowing little bit of
- 24:56trivia on that album, that album was was recorded at Bear Creek
- 25:00Studios and Woodinville Washington.
- 25:03Oh, really? Yep.
- 25:04So, of course, I couldn't you about.
- 25:05Dave finally, receipt would know that was 10 minutes from my
- 25:08house. Exactly.
- 25:11All right. So we have Lake Street, Dive got
- 25:13Dave, family, mine is a band called Royal Blood, they're all.
- 25:17I love those guys. So rock, band Duo, I love at,
- 25:21first of all, just Kick-Ass rock music but I like And that are
- 25:27interesting in that, this ban is why to people and start off as a
- 25:31drummer and a bassist. And like, yeah, well, it's
- 25:33Danger Mouse is in that van to write, stranger Maxwell, blood
- 25:36to. I'm not sure if that's the idea.
- 25:38I know the two guys are in IT bike, Courier and been Thatcher
- 25:43oakum, and one of them is just plays bass and he does
- 25:47incredible things to make the base, not sound like a bass
- 25:49sometimes and it reminds me of a band from my youth from Chicago
- 25:53area, Local H again, Two people who put out a ton of noise.
- 25:58I was fortunate to see them at the Vic in downtown Chicago.
- 26:01And I was blown away by. There's this guy with a guitar
- 26:04and there's this guy on drums and all of this is coming from
- 26:08just those two P pads. Awesome.
- 26:09Which is, yeah, it was, it was so great.
- 26:11So band called Royal Blood, definitely, you know, kind of
- 26:14they've had a few different hits that are out there.
- 26:15So maybe that's kind of superunknown but definitely,
- 26:18I'll give you one more bonus. Bonus, bonus, bonus II saw the
- 26:23they opened up for? The Black Keys that I saw bottom
- 26:28of there called The Velvet ears velvet, and it's a female
- 26:32singer, and she played guitar, and they have two drummers and
- 26:37they share, they share the kit together.
- 26:40They they share the kids, so they're both sitting at the same
- 26:43kit and they can spin over. And there's a little bit of
- 26:46keyboards and a little bit of a bass guitar.
- 26:48But for the most part, it's the two guys sitting at the same
- 26:51kit, just banging away, John Bonham Style, And the lead
- 26:55singers screaming on a guitar so it's a ton of noise but it's
- 26:59spectacular to watch. Okay.
- 27:01All right, we're going to go ahead and wrap it up there
- 27:03because there are literally getting like kicked out.
