00:13:06
Speaker
and And congratulations on the yeah on the ISSA nominations. You guys got, what, four or five nominations? Album of the year? yeah Single of the year?
00:13:18
Speaker
Band of the year something like that? aer yeah album out It's a band of the year, entertainer of the year, a single of the year, and then music video. It's on the background. Well, it's behind Ernest. I know, I just got to jump in.
00:13:34
Speaker
I can see of the year. We can tell what it is. Yeah.
00:13:41
Speaker
How about you guys just suck a little bit? That way I don't have to remember so many of them, okay? There you go. I can try. I can try. No, but congratulations on that because from from being ah a creeper online and stuff like that, you guys are relatively a new band. You're what, about a about a year in?
00:14:02
Speaker
Maybe year are and half in? Yeah, around about, something like that. Yeah, June will make a year. Yeah. Nice. That's awesome. ah So... guys know they got some killer freaking music already nominated for awards and stuff like that.
00:14:15
Speaker
Um, if you don't mind and kind of love to get kind of each one of your guys' personal opinion on this, if if, if, if there is one, how did the four of you come together? Did you guys know each other from previous projects or anything like that? Or did you just like,
00:14:29
Speaker
put an ad in the newspaper old school style and go, Hey, I'm starting a, I'm starting a band and I need some guys. is's no um or Where somebody taps the other one's leg under the table, but I know. this virtually Yeah. yeah But I think the best way to work it is I'll just tell this half and I'll let Josh and Kyle, they do such a great job of this story, but Nick and I were in a, another project together for about a year and ah him and I decided to go and,
00:14:56
Speaker
move on, you know, just created differences and decided to start looking for something else. And then, uh, I came across these guys in the most random way. And I think they tell the story the best. If one of y'all want to jump in on that.
00:15:09
Speaker
Yeah, ah me and Josh were playing in a different band and our bass player had departed and we had a guy who was going to fill in for that weekend.
00:15:20
Speaker
And at lunchtime, the day of the gig, he texts me and tells me he's not going to make it, you know, seven hours from then, eight hours then, whatever it was. It's because we told the guy that we weren't going to provide this free cocaine for him that he really wanted. It was on the rider.
00:15:39
Speaker
That's a valid excuse to not make the show. I'm just saying. Not so subtle hints that that's what he wanted. Oh, God. We were not paying for cocaine, so he was out.
00:15:54
Speaker
Yeah. i called I called Josh, and and then i went to I messaged the guy who normally would fill in for us.
00:16:05
Speaker
And that guy texted me back saying he's playing with a different band that night that Nick and Ernest used to be in. And I'm like, hold on, hold on. I know the guy.
00:16:16
Speaker
Give me a second. So I called Ernest and he came out played with us that night. And they go, you know, they kind of look the me and they're like, well, you know, we're looking for a jump a drummer and a rhythm guitar player. And I was like,
00:16:28
Speaker
Funny. We're looking for lead guitar player and a bass player. I mean... um but was Was one of the was what of the questions in the interview, what's your
Band Members' Interests and Humor
00:16:42
Speaker
drug of choice? Or do you...
00:16:47
Speaker
You do work for cash, right? What you do from there is up to you. guess I'm going to start asking people that, huh?
00:16:58
Speaker
That's a good pre-job screening, I would say. yeah what They all have choice. yeah so and That's going to really depend on if we're going to get along. if it's murder stuff. Some people are addicted to trains and swords and stuff like that. Stop, Josh. Leave me out of this. Leave this.
00:17:19
Speaker
don't worry Don't worry, Josh. One of my favorite questions to ask, and actually I'll go ahead and do it right now. One of my favorite questions to ask on this show is what do you really nerd out about? Obviously, you guys can see the belts behind me.
00:17:31
Speaker
Nick and I were bonding right off the bat backstage because he's a wrestling man. I also have goofy stuff like my Thor's hammer that has our network logo it. so That's awesome. Why did I buy that? Because there was a guy in town. He's a small business and he makes them and I have adult money that I shouldn't be allowed have. I was just about to say, it's because I have access to adult money. I mean, minus NASCAR diecasts. I have a storage unit full of NASCAR diecasts.
00:18:02
Speaker
Nice. was just going to...
00:18:06
Speaker
I've got a tote full of all the ah comic book nerds too. i have a tote full of all the yeah Superman, NASCAR, NHRA. When they did that series, um I've got ah got a tote full of them.
00:18:19
Speaker
Don't ask me where it is, but it's somewhere in this house. I even got the Monster Jam Superman truck. I just, I don't know. think I reached a point where it was just like, you know, these are just better in a closet somewhere than I'll just hang my belt. I'll just hang my belt up because that's not childish.
00:18:40
Speaker
And actually, these these two are custom made belts. so I was going to ask about those because I didn't recognize them. Yeah, this is actually my first podcast that I started before I created the network.
00:18:52
Speaker
nonsensical nonsense and that's got our logo and stuff on it is awesome nice and it's uh trophysmack.com and that's that's a free advertisement i'm going there right now uh and i'll give them a free advertisement based off of the fact that i ordered this belt back here first and what i had it about less maybe less than a month and all the Decals and stuff started peeling off so I sent them I sent an email to their customer service They sent me a brand new one that guy got here in less than a week And so why me do the old one and they said yours do whatever you want with it. rest All right you make a Customer for life now you're Not that bad pricing either, okay They got all kinds of things on kinds of fun stuff. Yeah
00:19:41
Speaker
Not bad pricing and all kinds of fun stuff. So I'm actually going to do my logo for this show. I'm to get a vinyl and I'm going slap it on the other belt. Nice. nice but how Awesome.
00:19:57
Speaker
We all have our nerd vices. So if you don't mind me asking you guys, what is it? What do you guys, when you're not playing music, you're not doing music, what do you guys really like kind of nerd out about?
00:20:09
Speaker
Oh, well, I mean, we kind of already went over mine. It was wresling wrestling a lot. Wrestling NASCAR and video games. Those are my top. Man, um'm um I'm a history nerd, dude. Anytime I get a chance, I'll hit the old YouTube and just start digging down every wormhole can find just – I'm the king of like useless knowledge.
00:20:34
Speaker
That's awesome. that' awesome There nothing wrong with that. These belts are pretty sick. I ain't going to lie.
00:20:45
Speaker
Right? I told you, dude. I'd have to find something cool about them. Like something cool to like a I don't know, a competition or something. Something cool like a fishing tournament or something like that. don't know.
00:21:01
Speaker
The great thing about them is you guys can cus you can actually do a full-on customization. So whatever you want to put on there, you can put on there. We need to get some ah Battle of the Bands belts. Yes, dude. Yes. I would just like to tell the rest of the guys on on my network that make fun of me for my belts, suck it.
00:21:21
Speaker
Because you guys are all going to get on there. Come on now. If you ain't down with that, we got two words. We got two words.
00:21:30
Speaker
Yes, sir. I'm sorry, by the way. There we go. I'll save that. That's awesome. yeah
00:21:42
Speaker
No, that's a, yeah, man, I feel you, man. I fall into those, those YouTube wormholes myself. I, they are, whether it's history or I'm big into like the paranormal and cryptids and true crime stuff like that, man. I,
00:21:55
Speaker
find myself yeah up all hours of the night just watching YouTube rabbit holes, and I can't help you. I'll come across one video that like, creepy things, cold old video. Next thing like six hours later, I'm like, just one more, just one more. but but now yeah was i'm gonna be i was offshore on a fishing boat the other day,

Speaker
and the captain Just stops everything. And he says, what is that? Y'all see that over there? I said, hold on a second. I'm the resident UFO expert. I'll be right there. Yes. It was probably just a blimp.
00:22:31
Speaker
I don't know. I got some video of it that I got to analyze still. But it was so bright. I couldn't really see clearly while I was filming it. So I think it was a blimp. But it could have been aliens.
00:22:42
Speaker
Could have been anything. I haven't had a proper analysis done yet. I'm sending it off to the lab this weekend. We're going to go aliens.
00:22:54

00:30:05
Speaker
It's wild they still do that. but i mean I'm not going to lie. you know Back in the day, it was pretty cool to pull into some of those full service stations and they'd come out and pump your gas. but Not the way they do it.
00:30:18
Speaker
yeah yeah You're not going to force me. gonna it's sounds like That's also when gas was like 25 cents a gallon. You know what I mean? Back when that was actually like you were actually getting an advantage out of that. They'd wash the window and everything. like and Now you go to the gas station they feel like you've been in prison.
00:30:39
Speaker
yeah They got a loan to fill up your truck. Yeah. Hey, that that's true. Everybody makes fun of me because I drive a soccer mom car, but you know what?
00:30:53
Speaker
I'm not paying $150 for a tank of gas either. I'm just the RV, baby. I have yet to go over 35 bucks to fill my tank. Let's go. Yep. Chevy Equinox. Not a flex.
00:31:06
Speaker
Not. yeah I ain't out here paying a second mortgage to fill my gas tank. It's okay. i know i know't I know when I pulled into the gas station with my buddy who has a big-ass fucking truck, a big-ass Dodge, and it was $100 and some dollars for him to fill up.
00:31:26
Speaker
He stopped laughing at my Equinox real quick when I filled it up for $30. Hell yeah. and empty running on Nice. That's pretty nice. when it's did the empty running old fume nice ain't bury night Yeah, well, you want you're going to have to pay it.

I really yeah the gas lovinging and Yeah, i got to choose between gas or beer. What's more important? Right. That's all saying. You're at the gas pump doing math. You know it's like, how many miles am i traveling today? I got to buy groceries tonight. Do I need to eat do just need to drink? Let's see what we get. I think if I drink enough liquor, I could probably somehow muster the courage to walk to work tomorrow. I don't know. We'll figure it out when we get there. And fuck it. I'll just call off. That's what they make. Yeah. I got the same money. I only worked three days a week. Oh,
00:32:53
Speaker
oh God. We had a guy call out of work because his truck, he needed something for his truck that was going to $200, $300. So he missed two days of work, even though we'll come and pick him up if his truck is broke down.

00:36:36
Speaker
No, you guys are fucking awesome, man. I can just hang out with you guys like on a, on a, on a random like weekend night.
00:36:49
Speaker
So obviously we're obviously here about, oh you know, about the music. We're going to have all our little side conversations, but yeah, I'm curious, how long have you guys been doing music?
Musical Influences and Inspirations
00:36:59
Speaker
And and this is kind of a double-edged sword or a two-part question here. How long have you guys been doing music and who and what ah inspired you to get into music?
00:37:10
Speaker
Or do you are you do you kind of look up to in the music world? I don't care who where you start at. Who going first? Go ahead, Nick. We'll go across the board. ah yeah ah I've been playing music um since I was – my dad corrected me last week in the chat. what what How old was I? Did he say it was like 9 10?
00:37:32
Speaker
Yeah. Something like that. And then I started taking the lessons at like 11, like from 11 to 12. I only took like a year or two of lessons. Um, but it all started for me when we were on our way back from a family trip to six flags.
00:37:46
Speaker
And, uh, he, I grew up, uh, in the church scene a lot and, in My dad put in a new, one of the new Lincoln Brewster records and skipped to the last track, which had this absolutely face melting electric guitar intro.
00:38:03
Speaker
And at that moment I was like, I want to do that. I want, I don't know what that is. i don't know how to do it, but I want to do that. And then it just stemmed from there. I mean, it it went from that to Hendrix to Eric Clapton to slash Keith Urban, John Mayer, you know,
00:38:23
Speaker
Those are probably the biggest two is John Mayer and Keith Urban are probably the two biggest that I look up to as far as playing wise. Great guitar players. i I don't think they get enough.
00:38:34
Speaker
I don't think they get enough love. It's just like Brad. ba and Everybody talks about his songs, but no one talks about his guitar playing. e Brad Paisley, Keith Urban, John Mayer. Yeah. Great, great, great guitar players, man. Fantastic guitar players.
00:38:49
Speaker
Oh, yeah. Yeah, man, i ah since I was kid, I came from a musical family, man. My mom's brothers were all big into into music. I was the kid that grew up around bonfires on Saturday night where everybody you know picking guitars and singing and stuff like that. So i've I was always surrounded by music you know coming up.
00:39:07
Speaker
And at 14, I told my parents that I wanted to start learning how to play guitar. And ah my parents actually bought me my first guitar, which was that black and white one that's hanging over here on the wall to this day.
00:39:19
Speaker
and right yeah I started playing it, man. and but the the The first album that hit me, because I grew up around you know country, southern rock, gospel music, and stuff like that.
00:39:30
Speaker
anna that Guns Roses' Appetite for Destruction, man. When that album came out, it just sent me sideways. and i was kind I was kind of like what Nick was saying. I was like, man, I want to be able to replicate that. and ah so Then I got introduced to Metallica.
00:39:45
Speaker
and The first 87 songs that were off Uh-oh. Sorry. I'm sorry to hear. No, you're good. I'm sorry hear sorry to hear you were introduced to Metallica. That might be some form of child abuse.
00:40:02
Speaker
As my son yells at me because for some reason my 11, almost 12-year-old son has discovered Metallica. He's like, I like Metallica. I'm like, hey not my kid.
00:40:14
Speaker
hey Anything from the Black Album back was the hell. Amazing. yeah yeah Black album and before, i got to give them credit. They were that it was they were they man they put out some great-ass music.
00:40:28
Speaker
For the black album, it just... Yeah, you know, if you sober up and go through changes, things happen. so Yeah. Squares. Yeah, yeah. But then I discovered the world of bit discovered the world of bass and ended up getting more work as a bass player than I ever did as a guitar player. And I started digging into Les Claypool, Victor Wooten, Deezer Butler, you know, guys like that, of course, going back to Cliff Burton.
00:40:53
Speaker
And ah yeah, man. So that's just kind of, you know, from there on, by the time I was 18, I was playing on the regular up until, you know, in my 30s. And so music's pretty much, you know, all I've known.
00:41:04
Speaker
no yeah. no and ah Yeah, you got to give the guys the Metallica credit, except for and James. He's a douche. but as far as as far as As far as instrument players, all all the all four of those guys can can fucking play their asses off. Oh, yeah. Debatable. Debatable. Debatable.
00:41:29
Speaker
you paid out but You can't outrun the ticket sales and album sales, no matter how much you like or or not. it's No, and you can just overdub the drums on the recordings of the live show. We don't talk about Lars. Lars.
00:41:44
Speaker
That's what we're talking about. Okay, I just love it. Why don't we talk about Lars? I love i love the memes that started coming out when when their most recent album came out, and people were like, oh, my God, Lars learned how to play drums.
00:41:57
Speaker
Yay! I'm a better drummer. Yeah, they probably did. That was not his name. Lars was a genius. He surrounded himself with very good talent. Oh, yeah. i mean and He was such an integral part of the band family that they couldn't get rid of him. So could be an actual drummer. a band.
00:42:17
Speaker
bad why catalog yourself Make sure you own of the merchandise rights. Exactly. exactly Be the least talented, but own all the business rights. Own the stuff. Yeah, that's it, dude.
00:42:35
Speaker
100%. That's like all that Kiss does. All of them. Oh, Jesus, please don't get me started on fucking Kiss. Oh, my gosh. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

00:50:47
Speaker
the music thing and what got you into I forgot what the question was. yeah I guess when I was about 10 years old, shortly after I got molested by a meth head from Ohio.
00:51:01
Speaker
Sorry about that. but tip but but now that is about my battalion or so i I guess I just wanted a guitar. No, no. What happened is guitar throw something other come out and me and my brother got it for Christmas and we started playing it and it introduced me to all this music, you know, Guns N' Roses. It's the only one I can think of off my head. All the old classic rock and stuff like that in the country.
00:51:30
Speaker
A little bit of a classic rock. But that like that showed me the cool stuff. You know, the Guns N' Roses, the Ozzy and everything like that. Black Sabbath. So after that, was like, want to get a guitar. That sounds cool.
00:51:44
Speaker
And then I got on a little while later and just, you know, picked at it for, what, about 20 years or something. And eventually we got here.
00:51:58
Speaker
hello Anticlimactic story. That's how i like it. Josh, how old are you if you don't mind me asking? twenty eight 28. So I guess not quite. Remember?
00:52:11
Speaker
I had him to think about it for a second. He said... he said my brother and I got guitar here and then I wanted to be a guitar player. i'm like, Oh wow. You're a baby. I was ah I was a grown ass adult living my rock star dreams because of guitar here, because I can't, I can't play an instrument to save my life and I can't carry a tune in a bucket.
00:52:34
Speaker
But God damn it. If guitar here, it didn't make me feel like I was a rock star. I tried 15 years ago. So yeah,
00:52:41
Speaker
i last time i tried fifteen years ago so yeah ah Three of my buddies in the garage fucking crank up the surround sound in the garage and play Guitar Hero until 4 o'clock in the morning. Hell yeah. i like let's go I'm a rock star, man.
00:53:01
Speaker
But yeah, man. I was like, how you're yeah, you're a baby, man. yeah There's nobody out there, no artists out there that kind of influenced you or that you that you but you like? like There's a local guy from ah down...
00:53:16
Speaker
not about an hour away from here where my grandparents and everywhere are. guy by the name of Vic Waters. Nobody knows who he is, hardly. he He's one of the greatest songwriters I've ever heard.
00:53:30
Speaker
And he just, he did it for a long time. He made some good records. And he just, and I guess he played on the Grand Ole Opry once and then just never,
00:53:43
Speaker
Never took anywhere, but I'll be damned if he didn't write some of the best songs I've ever heard. Oh, yeah. He played the Grand Ole Opry back when it was actually excuse me an honor to play there. Now that now that yeah now they just put any fucking jerk off that...
00:53:59
Speaker
can write a TikTok song on Opry and it's just like, get the fuck out of here. I'm so hurtful. I still can't write it down that invite if it ever happens. No. Oh, yeah. it you know Yeah, yeah. You got to put some... It's definitely an invite that you want to take. and You can also put some respect back on the name again because like I said, unfortunately, it's just...
00:54:24
Speaker
ah You look at the artists that have been up there the last five years. and they None of would even sniffed the Opry 30 years ago. No. you know so That's what makes this industry the way it is now. you know It's a blessing and a curse with the fact that we have things like TikTok. because like you know With social media, you know it's a great outlet to put your stuff on, but at the same time, it's a curse because, well, like we said, everybody can do it.
00:54:51
Speaker
know so it's It helps you, but it also is helping everybody else. Yeah. And a man of few words down there.
00:55:03
Speaker
Mr. Serious. This guy is serious. I don't... um I'm the only musician in my family. I didn't grow up around it or anything of that nature, but my parents bought me one of those toy drum sets when I was a kid, and when my dad puts it, one day it was... so I just knew how to play.
00:55:22
Speaker
I've never taken lessons. I taught myself, and... Here we are. Hell yeah, man. That's fucking cool as shit. was just... Just decided one day this is what I'm going to do.
00:55:35
Speaker
I don't know. I'm breathing. it oh yeah That's it. That's cool as hell, though. My my ex-wife, ah my ex-father-in-law, he was like that.
00:55:46
Speaker
Man could play every ah instrument known. Banjo. he was He's a bluegrass guy. He's a bluegrass singer. Banjo, guitar, bass, drums. You put an instrument in front of him, he can play it.
00:55:58
Speaker
Some bitch can't read a lick of music, though. no and and And he's taught himself everything. And it's just like, his they're from Kentucky. And it's just like, you know, so they come up here for deer season when back when my ex-wife and I were just dating and whatnot. And the whole family would come up, man, and they were all bluegrass players. And the whole family would just get together. And I'm just like.
00:56:22
Speaker
I'm just going to sit here and drink moonshine and be happy as a pig and shit because this this is this is this is great to me. I love me some bluegrass, love me some country music. And I'm like, yeah, I'm just going sit here like a big old oaf, not knowing what the fuck's going on, just enjoy the situation. So, yeah, that's that cool. tell here you got any ah You got any drummers out there that you that you really dig, that you really Yeah.
00:56:49
Speaker
You know, a big influence of mine is Chad Smith from the Chili Peppers. Oh, nice. The dude is so versatile. I mean, there's just so there's so much stuff in this world that you wouldn't even know that he played.
00:57:02
Speaker
yeah he's the The dude is considered one of the best studio and and live drummers to have ever existed. they're like i more and the The more and more you dive into it, the more you find out what he's played on.
00:57:18
Speaker
it will start to make you question other people in the industry. journal yeah There's just nothing he can't do. and I got to agree with you man. Chad, chad is and he's ah he's the man, man, at the end of the day.
00:57:36
Speaker
I can
00:57:41
Speaker
i can barely say this with a straight face. I'm so tired of hearing their goddamn names. Fucking no Neil Peart, Jason Bonham. Get the fuck out of here. and I mean, i don't know who's ever put Jason Bonham in contention, but his dad, John Bonham, I mean.
00:58:03
Speaker
yeah, John Bonham, yeah. Jason's okay. Jason's all right. I mean, he's got a problem. I mean, he can play a drum set better than I can.
00:58:14
Speaker
I mean, I'm i'm one of the top. I'll never really touch that, but, you know.
00:58:21
Speaker
I'm tired of hearing it. There's so many drummers out there, like you said, Chad Smith that just can do so much. And it's just like, well, a big, a big thing to it is because they were, they were innovators.
00:58:32
Speaker
yeah They were doing shit nobody had ever done before. and yeah. And their time, it's very hard to top some of the stuff that they were doing. You know, they, they came up with 50 years ago.
00:58:44
Speaker
That, you know, today, i mean, to back then, you couldn't tell what the hell they were doing, and today, it's just fucking standard. I mean... and understand that's That's my argument. Everybody that tries to tell me, oh man, the Beatles sucked, I'm like, no, no, no, no.
00:59:00
Speaker
You don't understand. don listen to what was there before the Beatles, and then after they did what they did. go listen to what came afterwards. They changed the entire world. And yeah, some of their songs are like, I can't stand a list to listen to.
00:59:14
Speaker
Some of them are some of my favorite songs ever. It's they're just, they were, they were incredible. Innovators. I got a, I got a buddy of mine who loves to have this argument with me about, um,
00:59:27
Speaker
you know musicians back then and musicians today or bands for however you want to see it because we have this ongoing debate where he has the wrong opinion that Greta Van Fleet is better band than Led Zeppelin.
00:59:39
Speaker
hail That'll never fucking happen. He's delusional. um I hope he sees this should you should you should You should reconsider. and well I don't know if you're better than No, they never will be. There's no They're not. but But, I mean, they're not because they're not Zeppelin, even though a lot of people like to live on that meme that when they came out and like they a lot of people will fact it with, well, Robert Plant says they're basically Led Zeppelin 1. Yeah, that's great. He could have said that about freaking anybody if he wanted to. It's Robert Plant.
01:00:21
Speaker
No, except nobody else sounded exactly like Zeppelin. They sounded exactly like Zeppelin. Yeah, but here's here's oh to a degree. You go and listen to a lot of their stuff, and it's very much not.
01:00:35
Speaker
The stuff that that made it, the stuff that was big, exactly Zeppelin. or three songs that did, sure. Yeah, but the rest of their album, the rest like their new album, is nothing like that.
01:00:47
Speaker
see you did go What would you doland you do? Everybody just said, oh my God, they're ripping off Led Zeppelin. josh You're probably going to change the sound a little bit different.
01:01:01
Speaker
Hey, hey. Here's the argument. I'm backing you up over here, right? So his argument is that, you know, he asks all the time, do you think they're better because they came first?
01:01:18
Speaker
And no, not even close. Again, so the things that they were doing that were groundbreaking and innovative back then is today's standard. If you can't do a lot of the lot of those things, you're not in contention for anything.
01:01:33
Speaker
Right. Without them coming up with that all on their own out of the blue, the standard of today that almost every musician can do flawlessly because we've had 40 years to figure out how to teach it and perfect it and this, that, and the other.
01:01:50
Speaker
You know what I mean? So yes, like those guys back then who were coming up with this shit out of the blue that nobody had ever done or touched before are far superior than whatever refined bullshit they could come up with today.
01:02:06
Speaker
Right. but Yeah, I mean, I, I agree 100% because you got to remember those guys, you know, they had to hear like Led Zeppelin was really based off of blues stuff that they were hearing around their area and from albums and stuff like that.
01:02:20
Speaker
They had to study that in audio form. You know what I mean? Like everybody today, you've got YouTube, you've got all these video formats. You can actually see other guys who's teaching you how to do what that person was doing. So people have a completely different learning platform now than what these guys did. And they took styles that they heard.
01:02:39
Speaker
And like I was saying, they were refined it and made it theirs. And when we made when it made it stateside, you know, and we heard it for the first time. I mean, this was mind blowing. If it was the Beatles or if it was Zeppelin or whoever was coming over here, because you had no other access to that until it popped up on the radio. Or if you just walked in, you have to be just one of those people that would buy a random record in a record store.
01:03:00
Speaker
you wasn't going to find this kind of stuff, you know? And, uh, like today, I mean, hell, you just put on your Spotify list. Something's going to pop up. you never heard before. It still kind of sounds like these other guys, you know, or or something like that.
01:03:13
Speaker
I mean, yeah. John Lennon and Paul McCartney got on a bus and rode across town for like half an hour to meet some guy that they spoke to on the phone because he knew how to play a certain B minor 7 chord or something like that. that's That's completely different world from today. Yeah. yeah i mom I don't remember who it was, bottom but Bonham did an interview back in the day or was talking to somebody about,
01:03:46
Speaker
You know, when he when they came out with Zeppelin I and his his bass drum triplets ah that were mind-boggling at the time, ah he was trying to copy somebody he had hurt.
01:03:58
Speaker
He hurt—I don't remember who it was, but he was trying to copy somebody, and and when they had a discussion, he was like, how did you come up with that? He was like, I just did what you did. He's like, I heard you do it, and I figured it out. He's like, dude, I used a double bass.
01:04:14
Speaker
and The rest is history.
01:04:21
Speaker
He was so – the dude would hear shit and then just – it would kill him until he figured it out. And then what came out of that, because he couldn't see what they were doing, came a whole a whole different animal out of whole new thing.
01:04:36
Speaker
A whole new thing, to this day, I'm not worthy. yeah and that's like being That's like being a guitar player and you work for two hours trying to figure out this chord progression and you finally did it and you realized the guy was capoed on the fifth.
01:04:49
Speaker
You know what I mean? You're like, oh, that's how he was doing that. And a similar story, it's you know even tied in with Zeppelin, it's like when when Eddie came up with two-hand tapping, it's because he saw Zeppelin playing live, and he's like, you know, Paige was up there doing his whole thing where he would put his picking hand up in there and just do the the one hand. He's like, well, if he can do that there, what if I, you know,
01:05:12
Speaker
experience and just put this one here and move it up and he's like and thus became two hand tapping and so you know people say oh eddie invented it he's like i don't think i invented it but i i damn sure know where i got the idea from and i just took it and made it something else you know it's gone are the days when you could do that now man but again even even to something like even to something like two hand tapping like there's like these indie groups that are out there that you hear guitar solo on one of their songs. And I can almost guarantee you a couple of them got double hand tapping on there. It's just, it's, it's in everybody's back pocket now, you know, but it's just, it's dude, it's insane.
01:05:50
Speaker
It's, it's hard to be original these days. You know what I mean? Or even if you're not, You know, you don't you might not know. Like you said with Eddie, you're not necessarily taking what they're doing, but you're trying to figure out how they're doing it and then you come up with your own with your own way of doing it.
01:06:10
Speaker
But it it is very hard to to be original these days. So let me ask you guys this as a band who and you guys seem to a little dabble into a little bit of of a couple different worlds with country little rock and and maybe a little southern rock and stuff like that, listening to some of your music and whatnot.
01:06:27
Speaker
What is it that you guys try to do to kind of set yourself apart from ah maybe other bands in your area? Or if if you had to lock yourself into one genre as far as the up-and-coming bands, what is it something you guys try to do to set yourselves apart?
01:06:45
Speaker
Man, I'll tell you what. Let me get this in real quick. I'm trying not to be different. I'm trying to do whatever it is that the rest of them dudes are doing. I'm going to work every day. There you go. Okay, I like that. is you know I'll that. I like point, yeah, I mean, you want to...
01:07:04
Speaker
you want to write to where, you know, it's unfortunate, but you want to kind of stay within that mainstream. You're trying to find out what's working, what's clicking, and then, you know, start building off of that. But at the same time, you don't want to lose your your creativity either. I mean, that's the whole point of of doing this. we're We're always stuck in a bubble of playing everybody else's songs, you know, three or four times a week to fill these three or four hour gigs, you know. So when you actually get a chance to start writing,
01:07:29
Speaker
you kind of want to be able to have, you know, your creativity and, and put into it. But at the same time, you know, we're, we're, we're fishing for that sound. You know, we're, we're finding another back and better. We're finding another, you know, here's to a small town. We're getting that, that grind. We know the type of songs that the crowds are really starting to catch on to. And we know what they're really liking.
01:07:50
Speaker
And, ah you know, and that's what we're going to have to go to because that's what it's about. You know, we can't just write what we want because, you know, you'd have to be something phenomenal and some major trends that are to break ground today's world, you know, just putting out whatever type of music you want to. So you do get stuck in that,
01:08:06
Speaker
that same hole is like, you've got to find what works, man. yeah And it may take plans and stuff that may not be our absolute favorite and what we're wanting to write. But if, you know, the crowd's popping and the people are streaming it every day on the radio, you know what mean?
01:08:20
Speaker
You got to run with it, man. Yeah.
01:08:24
Speaker
Well, maybe that's what we're doing wrong here. We struggle so hard to be different. Maybe we should just be like everybody else. to a degree oh no well i mean but no I mean now we know who the brains of the band clearly it's Kyle go to Eddie Van Halen he doesn't need any more inflation on his ego slow down laughing laughing
01:08:51
Speaker
But I mean, but no, but would you say in that? Yeah, it's cool to be different. But take the Eddie Van Halen, Jimmy Page conversation. you know what I mean? Take a look around, see him what's working, see him what's hitting.
01:09:02
Speaker
Use that. get the track you know get the traffic, get the eyes, and get the people start seeing you, then you start moving off a little bit, and then you can start doing your own thing, because now you've been accepted.
01:09:13
Speaker
And then people were like, oh, well, he used to be like this, which was like everybody else, but have you heard his new stuff? Are you seeing what he's presenting now? And they're starting to see your real stuff, so you're it it kind of puts you in that scenario where you've got to go the a route of the typical scenario of what everybody's doing to get the attention and then once you have the attention you can go sideways and do what you want you know what i mean like hank three you know curb records was singing his granddaddy songs writing standard country music he had a hell of a following and he was like ah this isn't what i want to do i'm gonna step off and do my own stuff and
01:09:49
Speaker
Hank 3's got one of the biggest independent followings you know out there. and They flock to the shows to watch country music for 45 minutes, and then he turns into Arson Anthem and does a metal show for the next 45 minutes.
01:10:01
Speaker
But everybody buys him to who he is because they were introduced to him doing you know somebody else's stuff. And I think, unfortunately, that's kind of um that's the industry now, man. You got to bring them in with the normal stuff that's going on with everybody else and then throw a curve in there and actually show them who you are and see how it bites.
01:10:20
Speaker
yeah Yeah. Someone else's story. Exactly. and nice Big brain. show big brain to it yeah big brain. So, so, you know, you, you, you, you said, um, you guys are doing three to four hour gigs.
01:10:37
Speaker
Yeah. A few nights a week. Um, how many originals are you throwing into, to a show? i It depends. um It depends on the crowd. Sometimes we'll throw in all seven. um you know If it's a crowd. that cause i mean ert Like we said, Ernest and I have been you know playing music together for almost three years in total now. you know so a lot of ah you know Some of these venues we play, they know us.
01:11:04
Speaker
They know me and Tim. you know, from, from our previous projects. So they're, they're a little more receptive to our original stuff and they want to hear more like my bar. We, we play every single, every single original on there because they know us, they know that we're an original group.
01:11:20
Speaker
you know, and even though it's a new project, they know that we do that. So we'll throw all of them at them. But like some of these, you know, the the newer um the newer venues who may not know us as well, we'll only throw in, you know, probably two or three of of the ones that we've, you know, really pushed as singles that are readily, you know, being pushed everywhere on, you know, that they probably have heard scrolling through TikTok or scrolling through YouTube or something like that, you know, just the the big hitter ones.
01:11:46
Speaker
So it it depends.
01:11:49
Speaker
Nice. What do you guys cover? well yeah i' I'm curious to know, because i think i mean and I don't mean this the wrong way, but I think you guys would be just listening to just some of your original. I've seen some of the covers you've done on YouTube and whatnot, but I think you guys would be a pretty sick-ass cover band if you're like, you know come see Delta Circle. there we've got a We've got a really cool bar slash concert venue right around the corner from my house.
01:12:15
Speaker
If you guys ever want to come to Ohio, let me know. Tell them to hit us up. Tell them to hit us up. That's circlemusic at gmail.com. Come on. i'm dropp I'm dropping names up there. I am dropping names up there. We'll get you up here on a Tuesday or Thursday night. We'll have a good time.
01:12:36
Speaker
But like you know they promoted you guys who like doing 90s rock covers or something like that. like I could totally see you guys doing 90s alternative grunge stuff. So what do you guys do? What do you guys kind of cover when you guys do your your cover songs?
01:12:50
Speaker
Man, it's it's all over the place, man. we we We actually are in development now where we're setting up typical set lists. Man, there it is. yeah Yeah. I've been there. That's BrewDog.
01:13:07
Speaker
it's it's It's attached to the casino. That's BrewDog. So, yep. i think that's where we need to play. Nice. I don't like that kind of fool. Yeah. yeah but But this kind of circles back to what you saying a little while ago. you know, our first goal was to be different than every other cover band that's in the area. You know, I mean, you can pretty much call the set list when you go see a lot of bands in the area. And then when you go back to that bar,
01:13:32
Speaker
five months later, they're, you know, going to be running that same set list at the same venue, you know? So our, our biggest thing, man, is, you know, we'll, we go from, you know, today's country to nineties rock and roll to, you know, everything between. I mean, we'll do Greta Van Fleet. We'll do Metallica. We'll do seven Mary three to Brooks and Dunn to Morgan Wallen. Yeah.
01:13:53
Speaker
You know, yeah. Yeah. Amy Winehouse to Whitney Houston. you know, we, we want to be that band that keeps everybody kind of interested in you know what we're doing. And we we always try to, you know if we know we're going to be playing the same video again the next two or three months, you know we try to have five to six to seven new songs on the s set list.
01:14:12
Speaker
So the next time we go there, we don't want to give them the exact same thing. We've got those core songs that we use that people sing along with us. And we've got the songs that we do different than you know how other people do. Like we do come together by the Beatles, Folsom Prison Blues, but we do them completely you know different than what the actual original recordings are.
01:14:31
Speaker
and ah And those songs are kind of our mainstays and that's what kind of brings people in into doing it. so We try to ride that, you know, that rail, like you said, we're we're still the same, but we bring something different. Everybody who comes to our gigs, no matter first time we played there at an eighth time, you know, everybody's like, man, you guys, it's got such a different set list. You know, it's just, it's a good time.
01:14:49
Speaker
and And it's a show, you know, we entertain, we, we bring the, you know, the people into it, we make it interactive. We're always, you know, communicating with people, getting them to sing the songs with us. We're always trying to make a mindset of when we're choosing new songs to find songs that,
01:15:03
Speaker
you know We can get the crowd singing with us. me and Me and the other guys will fall out and they could get out there and get everybody singing the the chorus or whatever. give the songs Keep people in it because our goal is we don't want be background music. We want people to be attached to us the whole time we're playing because they don't know what's going to come next.
01:15:21
Speaker
Instead of you know yeah just playing your you know you regular songs in the background, just getting through the night. you know, they're just there. And that's, uh, that's not our goal. what I've done that. I've done that too long. Um, yeah, that was my coffee shop days.
01:15:36
Speaker
was just like, literally like it was, you know, back in the day, I'd just be sitting there in a coffee shop or in some bar somewhere and I'd have my acoustic and it would get to the point where I'm like, hi, I'm Nick. I'm just going to be over here playing music for y'all while you eat yeah drink coffee. Yeah. If you like what you hear, you can come up tip me. You don't have to. I don't pressure you.
01:15:52
Speaker
I only buy it on whatever day I'm playing that gig. so yeah you you you guys You guys would absolutely. I'm sure. um Obviously, you guys are killing it down there. You would kill up here, too, because a lot of the a lot of the venues in my area, and i up granted, they're like,
01:16:11
Speaker
like They're not like massive venues or anything like that. They're local bar scenes, and I'm not from a very big city or anything like that. But a lot of the acts come in. that's what they That's what you said. They're similar to that. They come back, and they bring something different.
01:16:25
Speaker
And I love the fact that you one of the things that you said right there that really hit a chord for me was engagement. Ground involvement. Keeping the crowd involved. Don't just be background noise. I love when a band shows up and they, hey, we're here. Look at us, fuckers. come on. you know Exactly. yeah nobody don't It don't matter that the playoffs are on right now.
01:16:49
Speaker
yeah look at odd That's so hard down here man That is if you got anything Even remotely big Sports related Like forget it Forget it you can try you might catch them for a couple Songs but forget it they're going in i to boat ah Georgia Bulldog Saturday night dude it's over with Like yeah ah like that i show you the back Actually Actually Let me rephrase that real quick Before I catch a bunch heat Out of the SEC, the Dawgs are my favorite team.
01:17:21
Speaker
The rest of the SEC can go to hell. Nice saying. You almost lost me there, Glenn. I am a Bulldogs fan.
01:17:32
Speaker
I live in Big Ten country, man. And I'm not a Buckeye. i'm ah I'm a Wolverine. Where real football's played in the Big Ten. Okay, okay, okay.
01:17:43
Speaker
There you go. I would not have expect you to say you're a Michigan fan. yeah I am a diehard Wolverines fan, and I live in the heart of Ohio, central Ohio, Buckeye country, man.
01:17:55
Speaker
And yeah just to throw this out there real quick, not once, but twice, I've worked for the university. higher b but a bunch of fucking douche bags The Ohio State University. And you better damn well believe Michigan-Ohio State week, guess he was wearing his brightest, yellowest Michigan hat entire week. Amen. That's awesome.
01:18:20
Speaker
but But, yeah, it's it's like that up here, too, man, with sports, because, you know, if there's playoffs and whatnot, it's hard to – You know, it's it's really hard to to pull people's attentions away from, and it doesn't matter, basketball, hockey, football, college football, whatever it is, man, it's it's hard to pull their attention away. And I've been out to bars, and and I've gone to see a band, and I see it, man. you First couple songs, everybody's engaged.
01:18:48
Speaker
Then the games come on, and you get like, five ten people not including like family and friends that are coming to see and support you guys but you like maybe five or ten people that are like yeah i'm gonna watch these guys you know i'm i'm into it yeah let's go outside of that the rest of the bars got their back turned to you watching on the watching whatever game is on we've literally set up in a place you couldn't fucking move because there were so many people and we didn't start playing until the end of the game we waited until the game was over to start playing nice
01:19:20
Speaker
The clock hit zero. They all went home. They don't get it. Yeah, think we ended up playing for like people not including them. Oh, I think it was – Oh, and when we loaded in, there was probably a good 150 people there.
01:19:33
Speaker
We couldn't set up there were so many people there. Yeah. I think it was like within 10 minutes. Was it Georgia-Tennessee? I think well think that was the game. Yeah. Yeah. yeah what was and but I think it was Georgia, Florida. And then we played to four people, including ourselves. so It was Georgia, Florida.
Challenges for Local Bands
01:19:53
Speaker
You're right. You're right, Josh. The game ended up on. Clock hit zero, ten minutes. We weren't even done setting up. The place was a ghost town.
01:20:02
Speaker
No, we were done. we We were standing on stage because we were standing there like, all right, when then when they when they blow the whistle. Hit the first four. You know what I mean? We want to grab them. We hit. Dude, we hit people like, come on, y'all are here. We're going home.
01:20:14
Speaker
They're like, have fun. See you guys later. We're out of here, man. Hope y'all draw a ground. People come to see you because it won't be us. oh we I've even had venues that I would call, if you know, to get booked.
01:20:29
Speaker
And they tell us like, yeah, we'll get you guys booked. But ah if the Georgia game, you know how college is, man, they won't announce the schedule of some of the games until couple weeks prior or whatever. Yeah. Like, yeah, yeah. but If the Georgia game gets flexed to seven, we're going cancel yet. And i'm like, ah okay, all right. Well, I guess we'll just see what happens with the Georgia schedule and we'll go from there. yeah It was rough.
01:20:52
Speaker
Yeah, no, I've seen that. I got canceled for basketball one time, and I just take offense to that. You know what? I'm with you. That's offensive as hell. that is it wouldn't say you know well tell me it was don't Don't tell me it was women's basketball.
01:21:07
Speaker
Don't tell me it was women's basketball. That's not even a real sport. I don't think Saturday gigs from September to November this year. yeah i mean it's Not around Georgia. Not around Georgia.
01:21:22
Speaker
yeah they weren it it ain't worth think I made more profit taking my acoustic guitar down to these bars than the WNBA has ever.
01:21:33
Speaker
Agreed. was kind of shocked. I was kind of shocked a couple years back to learn the the annual salary for a WNBA player. and I'm like, these are professional athletes and I make more than double what they make. Like, that's insane.
01:21:55
Speaker
You know, like, ouch. I mean, you know, some of them do, you know, they get their money, but other places, but, uh, no, man, no, I feel it. Uh, you know, I, I've, I've bounced in some bars down, um down on campus at OSU back in the day.
01:22:09
Speaker
Um, And Saturday game day, man, we had it we had ah one of the one of the clubs I was at, we had there was a band that came in. They were super, super popular local band.
01:22:21
Speaker
Like they could play anywhere and they were selling it out. and it was a Saturday. And then they had Rick Nash. don't know if you guys are hockey fans. This is way back when Rick Nash was a pretty popular hockey player for the Blue Jackets.
01:22:34
Speaker
And he had just signed a major deal and he was like emceeing the whole event. game ended was a ghost town oh for like for like for like break man for like for like an hour two like hour and a half two hours it was just dead in there and the the owner the owner was like it's gonna pick back up because it's a saturday night you know uh you guys want to hang out i'll pay you more and rick's like I mean, I got to go.
01:23:04
Speaker
And they've been promoting this like heavy that that Rick was going to be there. And he was there. Super nice guy. Couldn't have been there couldn't have been any nicer. that the band was school the band was like The band was like, you know what? We ain't got nothing else to do tonight. Yeah, we'll hang out.
01:23:19
Speaker
we'll We'll mingle with who are here. And if the bar fills up, the stage is set up, we'll be ready to go. But Rick's like, I got to go. That's horrible, man. That's rough. Yeah. so her situation we played We played when ah I think it was Georgia and Kentucky, and they dig every time we took a break, they kept going, oh, don't worry, this place, but about 11 o'clock, about 11 o'clock, they'll all be here. don't Oh, yeah I Yeah. Yeah.
01:23:50
Speaker
yeah nobody no we played like one dude halfway back to the bar he was just a local guy yeah and he was just the guy comes in every day and he was like there's a band back there when they get here when they get here can you tell them to shut you tell him shut up Yeah. yeah like I mean, that is, you know, I think that's one of the biggest things that people don't realize, man, is, you know, it's tough, dude. It's tough being a local band. It's tough. You know, it's one thing to be a cover band and, you know, you're out here doing thing, but to be in a band who's writing their own original songs and stuff like that, trying to make your way as well.
01:24:39
Speaker
I mean, trying to build up, you know, that the that clientele, people who follow you to gigs and come out and hear you and stuff like that. i mean, it's, It's a hard industry, man. It's easy to get kicked down because, you know, we can, you know, me and the guys, we can play locally, you know, we can pack a bar, you know, and then we all get a gig, you know, four or five hours away and we all jump in our vehicles on Friday night, travel out of town and go play Saturday night. It's like the bartender to other people, you know, and it's just like, like, damn, who does this fall on? Like, did they not advertise? Did we not promote enough? Like, as people just got into the local music scene around here because they're hiring bands.
01:25:16
Speaker
So, Clearly, you know, there's got to be some type of interest in the music around this area. But it is, man. Stateside's hard, man. There's a few towns you can go to. People will come out for the sake of just hearing music.
01:25:28
Speaker
andnna But it's hard to to get asses in the seats. People don't know who you are. If you don't have anything, you know, big going on, you just they don't want to come out and hear you, know man. it's It's hard to get support.
01:25:42
Speaker
I was like, you were talking earlier. go ahead, Nick. I'm sorry. And I was like, and it's not that they're, that they're paying any disrespect, but it's just, there just seems to be this kind of like, like, ah I don't know if it's like a catch 22, but like people are like, you know, if there's a band, cool.
01:26:01
Speaker
that's kind of it. Like, even if the place will advertise you, like we've had venues that we've traveled, you know, four or five hours to, and they, you know, they post at least once or twice a day for a month leading up to it. And they're hyping it up and you show up and there's three people in the bartender. It's like people just, they just nowadays people, if they don't know you or if they like, it's almost like if they don't trust that, you know,
01:26:29
Speaker
it's It's a comfort thing. If they don't know who you are, you're not the guy from the area. They don't care. And again, it's not a disrespect thing. They just they just don't care. Well, I think one of the... I think one of the biggest things that's happening, man, is is people don't promote it like they used to um yeah long hundred Some of the biggest things is if I was a promoter here in Savannah and I was going to bring a band down like our friend Dan Corio, who's up in New Jersey.
01:26:56
Speaker
If I wanted to bring Dan down to Savannah for a show. Delta Circle should open and be the headliner or at least open up for him. You know what i mean? Take a local band, make it a big deal, put some local acts that people follow in town, put them on the bill with him. So then that way, people is going to show up.
01:27:14
Speaker
They're going to see him and they're going to get to him. You know, nobody back when I was in back when I was in metal bands and stuff like that, you never played a gig by yourself. Every gig you traveled around, man. you know There'd be three or four bands on the bill, and the band that was headlining was usually a band that was from that area, and that's how they were lined everything up. So hell, you'd get there, dude.
01:27:34
Speaker
And I mean, hell, you had four bands, if everybody brought five people, you've got 150, 200 people sitting inside the crowd. you know They're there for the headliners, but they all listen to you, and now you just got exposed.
01:27:46
Speaker
Yeah, you just got exposed to a whole new group of folks, you know, and nobody does that anymore. They expect us to bring you from another town, another state and put you in their bar. And then what it sucks is no matter how good you play, how professional you are, how how easy you are to get along with, they're like, well, you didn't bring anybody.
01:28:03
Speaker
like and What did y'all do? yeah mean We held up bar in. What did you do? Yeah, we can only do so much, man. Like if you didn't build it up like this was a big deal and advertise it,
01:28:15
Speaker
want to get asses at the state There's nothing we can do from 400 miles away. you know Yeah. I can guarantee you at least one, if not two spots that even though you guys would come out of town, and it would still be a packed bar because that's what they you know they're known for bringing in. great but I feel that because we've had the opportunity to do so we as a network as a whole, we have eight we have eight total shows that go throughout the week.
01:28:44
Speaker
But our big show is Saturday nights and we were invited out to a local place for their one year anniversary. and they And they're like, could you guys do the show live here? And I'm like,
01:28:56
Speaker
Yeah, it's something that I never thought I would have an opportunity to do. I'm not quite sure how we'll do it, but but but absolutely. was their one-year anniversary. It was an extra place. It was their one-year anniversary. Nice.
01:29:09
Speaker
So like one of my co-hosts, mo basically my right-hand man, he came up from Kentucky, and and he we we set up, and we were ready to go. and and And it was like there was a handful of people that support locally,
01:29:25
Speaker
me personally that know me and they showed up, but then there was like nobody else really there because this place wasn't promoting. I did all the promoting. Like, I'm like,
01:29:36
Speaker
ah You're the business owner. So so then then the last Halloween, it rolled around. they're like, we're doing a Halloween party. but You guys were great last time, man. We did some beard competitions and stuff like that. And then there was a live music musician there and and whatnot.
01:29:51
Speaker
and And I was like, yeah, well we'll we'll try it again. So we promoted it. And there was a little there was a little bit bigger crowd this time around. Granted, there was a bigger crowd based off of people who who knew me and knew us and whatnot.
01:30:02
Speaker
But it was just like, you guys aren't doing anything to help yourself. You're not helping us. You're not helping yourselves. I want to get into the community. I want the community to know like, Hey, I'm here as a, as a podcaster, I'm here and I can do this stuff live on location, but you're not helping yourselves. How are you going to help me at the end of the day? So feel that when people aren't, aren't, aren't promoting and and, and putting that out there for you. But, um, as far as, um,
01:30:32
Speaker
traveling goes. Are you guys big on traveling or do you like to stay relatively close to the area? i'll do we're We're growing intervially, man. like right nowl i mean right I can hear you guys, but I just got to deal with my kids. I told you twice. Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
01:30:50
Speaker
i've told you twice oh who
01:30:56
Speaker
oh my god oh my god yeah but
01:31:04
Speaker
but screams yeah I think we're okay i think all right no i mean
01:31:11
Speaker
all right. I think it may fall back to, and you don't want to think it as well, but I think it may fall on to the quality of musicians that bars have got adapted to bring it into it. That's helped turn a lot of people off as well because it's oversaturated.
01:31:24
Speaker
And of course, they going they're go they're going to grab the lowest bidder. you know, they're going to bring in bands that, you know, they can pay a hundred dollars a man, you know, or anything like that. And then of course, had a background music right. So you're getting lower quality bands. You're getting a band that's been together for a month. This is their first gig.
01:31:41
Speaker
ah They're trying to struggle through, you know, three or four hours set. And I think that may have, you know, set the bar for the local industry as well. Because when you travel to places like Nashville and there's a few places downtown Savannah, like,
01:31:53
Speaker
they have a quality of bands that they will bring in. So it our made face right it it starts gaining a reputation. Like, well, if you go to this, you know if you go to bar XYZ, they've got great music there. They've always got great bands playing there, you know, instead of going, well, man, I went there last week and the band they had, man, those guys just...
01:32:12
Speaker
what and you know And to get on on another thing that that Glick said, you know it doesn't help. The bars aren't helping themselves either. And I don't know if it's just they don't understand that side of it because that's a big side of it too. It's like...
01:32:27
Speaker
Yeah, as the band, we want you to promote the hell out of it so that we have a crowd. But also, if you don't promote the hell out of it and you know we're traveling a long way away and you know we're not going to bring people, that's on you to bring people.
01:32:44
Speaker
Say, if we were to go play a show in another state, whether it's North Carolina or wherever... We're not from there. People there don't know who we are unless they've done their research on us. But even still, they have no idea who we are. So if you want to have people in the seats, you got to be able to bring them like you got to be able to do a good enough job promoting it at your venue.
01:33:08
Speaker
I think the counter counterar as well, social media is one hell of a tool. Well, exactly. You want to be able to figure out how to use that to draw asses from anywhere. Exactly. Well, that's what I was getting at too. I was like, post it everywhere. And like dig into this kind of, and this kind of goes into something that Kyle's talked about before. Like dig into doing local, like local research or local postings.
01:33:34
Speaker
kind of stuff There's a little bit more to it than that. I mean, if you just watch the downward trend of live music, You know, the the kids turning 21 to 24, 25, honestly up to 30 because nobody gives a shit.
01:33:53
Speaker
Nobody gives a shit about live music anymore. They'd rather pay $10 to get into a place and watch guy with a laptop. I mean, that's the reality of it. They don't care about live music. they They really don't. They want to hear what they want to hear, and if you're not playing what they want to hear, they're not going to come see live music, which has been the problem with most bands.
01:34:09
Speaker
most bands are stuck in the nineties playing cover songs that have been played for 40 years now. I mean, they, yeah I mean, we're, mean, we play, we play songs that have been, been played. They're the standard for a bar band.
01:34:24
Speaker
mean, we, we did that we fit that criteria in a lot of places. It's they, you know, the kids just don't, they don't care. And, and, You watch the the age group of people who come to see live bands.
01:34:39
Speaker
<unk>'s It's getting up there. it's not You're not drawing in the younger crowd. I mean, we there's a couple of bars we play at where we play out back on the patio.
01:34:49
Speaker
And when you go in the door, you will find all of your 20-somethings inside playing pool listening to whatever's on the radio. And anybody over the age of 30 is outside. Yeah.
01:35:01
Speaker
It's less of a social media thing. It's more of a culture thing. So unless you start adapting to fit the criteria of the younger crowd, you're never going, you you're you're kind of stuck.
01:35:16
Speaker
You got to start getting there. They're a very hard generation to impress because they grew up with the technology. heck yeah Their attention span is about four and a half seconds. Yeah, that's long. Exactly.
01:35:31
Speaker
It's something actually I'm i'm currently... Tracking code. and And trying to push push towards because in order to be sustainable at this, I mean, we've got to find a way to to reach that and hit those hit those places that are still, you know, the quality of band is up there.
01:35:54
Speaker
And they want to place out. and And if you go into those places, it's not the typical crowd that we would see in other in other locations. They refuse to go to those places, this, that, and the other. you know So it's it's a hard it's a hard thing to to do and to grasp. and in And the other thing about those places is that I've learned this. They don't want to pay no attention to a local band, no matter how good you are, because you're local.
01:36:25
Speaker
Therefore, and they they hear from every single one hundred and fifty thousand local bands that pop up every year or every couple of weeks or something that want to play the best place in town.
01:36:37
Speaker
But they're not going to do it because, well, the last. 200 of them sucked. Every last one of them sucked. What's different about you? i'm not You got to beat the reputation.
01:36:49
Speaker
And that's the hard part. They got to know your name before you even reach out to them, really. well And that's the other thing, too. they're What they're concerned about is, you know, they're their target demographic and the people they're getting to spend money are under the age of 30. So you're going to come in here and start playing brown-eyed girl and run the whole bar out. that's a...
01:37:08
Speaker
you know did you no let's that's That's the crazy thing. a A former guest of mine on on here. and and and and i And one of the things that I try to do, i try to stay in contact with every guest I have as much as you know willing. And I have formed some really great friendships. One of the guys that I formed a friendship with, well, my now ex-fiance, and I drove out to Indiana about three and a half hours away. He was playing a local bar in his hometown.
01:37:39
Speaker
He's a young cat. twenty almost 23. He was super stoked. And he's a hell musician, hell of a singer. And he was super stoked. And I'm like, dude, you're playing your hometown. We're driving out. He's like, no way. And I'm like, yeah, we're coming out, man.
01:37:55
Speaker
We go out there. It's cool little bar. a little dive bar. There was no promotion. He promoted it. I promoted it. The bar didn't do much promotion.
01:38:06
Speaker
And there was like 10 people in there. And it left a sour taste in his mouth. And I'm like, dude, if you want if you want to make the trip, I know people don't know you here, but I know at least two venues here that will be a packed house for you, man.
01:38:21
Speaker
And I'll tell that to anybody. Anybody who's willing to come to my area, I know of two venues, whether they know you or not, they're going to pack the house because they are known, like you guys said, they are known for being bringing quality music.
01:38:34
Speaker
And people, even the younger generation, And they they they do it right, man. they they They hit you with a little door charge. So, you know, if you're coming there, you know that the band's playing.
01:38:45
Speaker
and and and And hopefully most of the people, the majority of the people coming there are coming to see the band because they know they're going to get a ah door charge. They're not going to be playing pool. they not going to be out back smoking and doing whatever.
01:38:57
Speaker
ah You know, so it's like, dude, if you really, i mean, I know it's not your hometown. And that was a huge, and I felt bad for him too because he's kind of become like a little brother to me. I'm like, dude, man, that's a kick in the dick, man, in your own hometown.
01:39:11
Speaker
You got like 10 people and and and we drove three and a half hours and spent the weekend in there. And I'm like, wow, man. And then he was going to play there again. this he was going to play there again twice this summer, but they fucked him around and we were gonna bring we were going to bring a bunch of people from network. We were going to bring the whole network, but we were going to bring some of our fans. And and it and he's like, dude, it's sad that my hometown, they're not going to fill the bar out, but you guys are going to come and fill the bar out for yeah Yeah. Playing at home, playing at home is tough, man. You especially when you're starting out, you know, because you kind of saturate the market and that's where you got to start. You know i mean? You don't immediately just start playing, you know, two or three hours away from the house. You got to try to book all the local venues that you can and stuff like that.
01:40:01
Speaker
And we're fortunate because Savannah is not a huge city, but it's, it's big enough. Like you've got areas, you know, something like you play it, you play it, you play in Tybee, people from Richmond Hill is not going to drive the Tybee and see you play, you know, if you play on, you know what mean?
01:40:16
Speaker
So, you know, we're kind of spread out to that point. You can kind of hit the four corners of a couple of counties, you know, as far as doing that kind of stuff. But that's even something that we've talked about as well, you know, is,
01:40:27
Speaker
eventually, you know, pulling away from hometown stuff and not really playing around here that much. And then that way, once or twice a year, do a ticketed event. We're coming back home, you know what mean? And doing something that way, because,
01:40:42
Speaker
you can't do a ticketed event when you're playing home, you know, three or four times a month, you know, because I'm like, that yeah, I'm not going to drop 20 bucks. Yeah. yeah i see you free tomorrow night. you know like yeah exactly Yeah. You know, next weekend and see you for four hours for free.
01:40:58
Speaker
yeah yeah Yeah, exactly. So it is, man. You know, you've always got to start at home because, I mean, you have to. I mean, that's yeah that's just where it's at. yeah And we work with a great PR guy, John Houston, out of Houston, Texas. I highly recommend anybody who's in the music industry who is, you know, already got their foot up on the ladder. if You got your stuff together and you're you're trying to take this to the next level, you know.
01:41:21
Speaker
Get you a PR guy, reach out to John Houston. These are the kind of people that can gear you and start putting you, you know, as far as taking the next steps to getting yourself to a working band. And, you know, one of the biggest things he talks about, and he preaches us all the time. He's like, you know every quarter, you know, try to play one show.
01:41:39
Speaker
three or four hours away from home, five hours away from home. Eventually by the next half, get six, seven, eight hours away from home. You know, he's like starting growing that circle and hitting new areas and growing your fan base in different states and different cities.
Performance and Audience Experience
01:41:53
Speaker
Because a to people who's in the industry, who's watching your band, that looks fantastic because they're like, oh these guys are, you know, they're taking steps to broaden out their move regional. They're you know getting their name out elsewhere. They're putting the work in to travel and stuff like that.
01:42:07
Speaker
But also now when you come back home, it's a big deal, you know, because you haven't been home in three or four months. So now when you come back and you're in your local you know, something like that. And, uh, you know, and then same thing. then when you turn around you go back to that town again, you know, it's a big deal again, because now you've had time for that name to grow. People are following you and watching you play all these other places. And then when you show back up in Florida again, they're like, oh shit, they're coming back. Let's, let's pack the place. But it takes time, man. It's a, it's a long road and, uh,
01:42:36
Speaker
You know, and and you got to do your job when you get there. Yeah, you might only play for three people when you get there, but you give those three people the same show that you'd give them up there with 25, 100 people. Absolutely.
01:42:48
Speaker
That's what I wish i was just going to ask you guys. Do you guys change your performance if there's... Hell no. yeah if there was If there was a thousand people, because there's ah there was a... well unfortunately Unfortunately, they're no longer together.
01:43:02
Speaker
Get your shit together, guys, if you hear me. you know i'm talking about springer all out all them out yeah another but love I love these guys. so they're They're great kids. They just, unfortunately, everybody kind of went their own way and doing their own thing.
01:43:19
Speaker
But, um, I actually went to, uh, see a band, Blacktop Mojo. They're out of Texas. ah no will no will that been iho I stumbled across them by accident. and Actually, they're they're friends of the network here Fans, huge fans I don't know about fans, but they're friends No, we are We're huge fans of Blackdown I am too, I'm a huge fan I stumbled across them over 10 years ago They just popped up in a playlist And I was like, who the fuck was that sweet angel singing in my ear? And I had to go, and it was their cover It was their cover of Dream On
01:44:00
Speaker
Yes, yeah, and and then yeah, yeah and they're their cover and yeah in the end that's exactly still are you Yes, yeah and I was like are these guys and I have been a man ever since and and when when I started the first podcast That created all that this is today ah I reached out to him not thinking that I would hear from him. I was like, hey just starting a podcast We want to take breaks. We'd love to play your music. And Matt, the lead singer, he, less than five minutes.
01:44:32
Speaker
Fucking play all the songs you want, brother. Just shout us out, let people know. I was like, hell yeah. we've um I'm still trying to get Matt this show. We've had him on the other show.
01:44:43
Speaker
um i But they were playing live in a little hole in the wall place here in Columbus. And one of the bands that opened up for him, this this this lead singer, Matt Warren, shout out to Matt Warren if you hear this, love you, brother.
01:44:56
Speaker
He walked up to him after they got done and I was like you're like this generations David Lee Roth Dude had energy. He could sing dude was fun and we hung out after the show got to know the guys and then a couple weeks later they hit me up and they're like hey man, we're playing in this town called Centerberg.
01:45:16
Speaker
Have you ever heard of it? was like, yeah, that's where I was born, bro. That's my hometown. And they're like, yeah. They're like, yeah, we're playing there tonight. i was like, what time? I'll be there. And I showed up there. And it's like it was like this bar slash family restaurant type thing.
01:45:32
Speaker
And there was like 30 people there that could have given a shit less. Like, I think maybe when people were feeling the music and Matt was running around the bar, he was on the table, he was up in the booth, you and him and I were singing, and again, I don't sing, ah don't ask me how he got me to sing, but I was singing with him, like, other people were, it was just like, that energy was cool and I love that about bands. So what I wanted to ask you guys was like,
01:45:57
Speaker
Is the energy the same whether there's five people there or 5,000 people And granted, granted you know being up on the stage, it's harder when there's less people because you know if if anybody is a musician who plays out, you'll know.
01:46:12
Speaker
you know that when you're giving so much in the crowd gives that back. It's just that easy. It makes that night that much easier. So granted, it's harder said to do it, but still we don't, you know, our biggest thing is we don't care if there's two people or 200 people, you know, they are there to, whether they're there to see us, um you know, intentionally or not, they're there seeing us.
01:46:36
Speaker
So they deserve just as much and just as good of a show as if it was 200, 2000 people. And it's like we always go to it. is It's not their fault. You know what I mean? It's not their fault. Nobody's there. They're there.
01:46:48
Speaker
Yeah. There's no reason for us to lower what we're giving to them. Nick and I was playing a show years ago um up in Charleston. And literally, man, like what what left what what people were there, they were all at the bar that was like a whole nother room away from us.
01:47:06
Speaker
you know And they could they could care less. There was nobody in the main area. So we literally got to the point where we were rehearsing songs. Like we were just calling songs. Like, hey, let's try this one. And we've never played it before. Like, oh, let's figure it out. 45 minutes before the gig was over with, like this table of four guys came and sat right in front of the stage.
01:47:24
Speaker
and we turned it on. You know what I mean? Like highlighted their night. They all had their phones. Holy. They were like calling their friends. Holy shit. You got to come see these guys. It was, it was you know, we made our night because it's like, man, we just made an hour and a half to nothing. And then you guys come in for the last 15 minutes. And you're like, I was like, I love y'all. I don't know who you are, but y'all my favorite. And and I, and I gotta, and I gotta say, you know, um,
01:47:53
Speaker
As a formal former Charles Stoney and I lived down there for about a decade I was telling you guys are a little over 10 years. was telling you guys at the backstage That's kind of shocking because the one cool thing about now I can only give Charleston one dis on the on the music But one cool thing about Charleston was and they really played up local live bands or live music everywhere you went One of my favorite places to go here music at in Charleston was right down on market Tommy Condon's. It's a little Irish pub.
01:48:26
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's, that's what that was my Tommy's. Tommy's was my jam. We used to spend our weekends at the music farm, man. So yeah. oh yeah ah Yeah.
01:48:38
Speaker
Tommy Condon's. And I loved going to Henry's, uh, because I go up on the roof at Henry's right across the street and, uh, set up on the roof and, and, and, and enjoy me some beverages. But, um, but that's kind of wild to hear, but, uh,
01:48:52
Speaker
Yeah, man, you know, guys, you ever want to venture 10, 12 hours away from home and and you want to come up here, I will gladly i will gladly do my part to to get you. Like I said, I know two spots.
01:49:05
Speaker
One's got a really cool outdoor stage. ah The other one is and literally right around the corner from my house. but they have music there almost every weekend. And you, you walk into that place and it's shoulder to shoulder.
01:49:18
Speaker
I mean, it's elbow to elbow and, and they got a beautiful stage and they've got this, but they've got the bar area and everything like that where everybody can hang out. But then they've got this, this area where you watch and you're there for the band and, and and that place, you know, to kind of go back on what Kyle said, it doesn't matter to the age, man.
01:49:36
Speaker
you know People are there and they, when they go there, on a Friday night or a Saturday night in a van, they know what they're, they know what they're walking into. Yeah. And it's, it's, it's a cool environment. ah So um we definitely, we we just drove 17 hours to Houston. So 12 hours is short. So yeah, we, ah my only, my only request is that we have a case of that. They're broken skull, whether it's the i will i will which more broken skull,
01:50:07
Speaker
Well, i'm only go to but I will put a request out to Blaze. Blaze is my right-hand man here on the network. He is my guy. He's down in Kentucky. Unfortunately, I haven't found the Broken Skull in Ohio yet in my area.
01:50:21
Speaker

01:50:34
Speaker
But it's also wrestling because we had my son who was a part of the network. Blaze, who he has his own show and then he helps me co-host from time to time on some shows. And then our newest member, Michael Copenhaver,

02:01:44
Speaker
You know what?
02:01:47
Speaker
I mean, listen. We might have to have an introduction. Hold Time out. Just time out real quick. How many people can get removed from their position for being an asshole and still get paid to sit on their couch for a month?
02:02:06
Speaker
I have never. ah You know what, Kyle, if that's a personal experience, man, shout out to you, brother, because I have never been. just went out today for the first time in a month. I've been being paid for a month to sit on my damn couch. ain't never been booed from a position for being in an asshole. I've gotten a lot of talking tos.
02:02:27
Speaker
And a lot of listens, like. i'm like but I've had a lot of pee-pee smackings in my life. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've had a lot of them. I did not get one this time. I just got removed oh always wonder what i did not get one this time i just got i got removed for be me You got a vacation.
02:02:46
Speaker
You got a vacation. ac You got rewarded. You didn't get in trouble. You got rewarded. i was I was semi-unemployed. They said, look, you can't do this job anymore, but you can do your old job. I said, no thanks.
02:02:59
Speaker
And i walked I walked out and I sat on my couch for a month getting paid and then was like, hey, by the way, I found a whole new job. So... that i mean ah could be it could be I mean, I've been sitting at home for the last two months because apparently they wanted to save money.
02:03:23
Speaker
and didn't need an on-site guy. Now they're paying three guys five times what they were paying me. So, do the math. I'm still at home getting paid.
02:03:35
Speaker
Similar experience, yes. yeah I wasn't had an asshole i was an asshole, but that wasn't the problem. So, that's the that's the blanketed excuse, is I'm an asshole. But the reality of it is, I'm an expensive asshole.
