3Times7 | Matt Connarton Unleashed

0:00 Speaker 1: I love that the song is called Wait the band is a three times seven. And let's see who we have on the line with us from the band. Hello, welcome to the show.

0:10 Speaker 2: Hello, Hello, this is Jenny.

0:12 Speaker 3: Hey Jenny.

0:14 Speaker 2: We've got David here as well.

0:15 Speaker 4: Hi.

0:16 Speaker 3: Hey, welcome Jenny and David.

0:18 Speaker 2: Uh.

0:18 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know if you heard right before the track I was commenting on. This is one of the things I want to ask you about. It's it seems that, so from what I could glean online, you function as both a duo and a full band.

0:30 Speaker 3: Is that correct?

0:32 Speaker 2: Yeah, we've actually got three So we've got a duo, a full band with bass and drums, and we've got a four piece acoustic setup as well. So yeah, we can become in all forms.

0:43 Speaker 1: That's pretty cool because that gives you a lot of flexibility, right in terms of where you can play and and uh, because obviously different kinds of venues, different different audiences might require a different you know, a different vibe, And I mean, is it is it confusing at all kind of managing these different versions the band or does does all the music kind of convert to whatever configuration you're playing in pretty easily?

1:06 Speaker 2: Thankfully? Now, it kind of converts quite easily. It took a little bit of work at the start. Yeah. On the website, we always make sure it's clear whether what type of band you're going to see rights, just because if you particularly like the full band, we will make sure that you are coming to a full band gig, and if you particularly like the acoustic set, that you're coming down to see the acoustic stuff. But yeah, it takes a bit of work, especially with some of the guitar solos and things. We have to rework the song format to make it work for all the different variations.

1:38 Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's really good and it keeps us on our toes.

1:41 Speaker 1: Okay, So I assume three times seven started with the two of you. You're the you're obviously the core right of the band.

1:49 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's that's Yeah. We've been playing together for about sort of like eight nine years now. Oh okay, and then I used to joke that we're called three times seven because we had a twenty one honoring members, that.

2:02 Speaker 3: That would be quite the configuration.

2:05 Speaker 4: Supergroup and half yeah on speed up.

2:11 Speaker 1: Well, okay, so let's well, since you refer to it, let's get to the obvious question.

2:15 Speaker 3: I'm sure this is.

2:16 Speaker 1: You're probably tired of answering it because you probably get asked us in every interview it is the most obvious question, But what what does the name mean?

2:23 Speaker 2: So officially, it's from a song called Tippetina, which is a New Orleans jazz standard, and in a line that says she was three times seven baby, And at the time, I was in my early twenties, and it felt pretty cool and we were like, oh, it's all right, that'll do. We'll change it later. And then it's now later and obviously we haven't changed it. Yeah, it's also the cards. It's the best age for whiskey.

2:52 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just now.

2:54 Speaker 2: Yeah.

2:55 Speaker 1: No, it's cool, and you know, it makes people curious, obviously, it gives it gives you something to talk about, you know, where the name comes from.

3:01 Speaker 3: I'm curious.

3:02 Speaker 1: Does anyone ever approach you and ask you, like, does anyone ever kind of know have an inkling? Maybe they're maybe they're familiar with that song, maybe they you know, maybe they love jazz, maybe they're from New Orleans and they and they say to you, hey, does the name come from this? And they kind of know what it is? Does that ever happen?

3:20 Speaker 2: No, no, never happened, but it would be quite amusing if it did. Yeah, but yeah, you people go, oh, okay, yes I've heard that song or I haven't even heard that song before.

3:30 Speaker 1: Right, right, right, So now in terms of recording, so is the full band obviously a song like Wait, that's that's everybody in the band, right, that's the full Uh, that's everybody who's involved on that record.

3:43 Speaker 2: We had Haley and Steve join us as well, so they are from a band called Futurism, okay, and they join us occasionally to do some harmony work. And when we get them involved as well, then we've basically become a little supergroup so that we we can do all the harmonies, which is really fun. But yes, everyone was involved in Wait.

4:03 Speaker 1: Yeah, no, that's really cool And is that your approach with all? Because we're also going to play at the end of our conversation because obviously I like to bookend the interviews with your music. So at the end we're going to play Big Train, which is another great track and I love the video by the way, the video is really cool.

4:22 Speaker 2: That was really fun.

4:23 Speaker 4: Yes, that's without Hade and Steve Weban. Our latest album released silber Linings. We've got tracks from there which are basically just Jenny and I with a little bit of piano. Oh and we have other tracks from there which I've got an Italian horn section on one track, I've got Turkish violinist on another. So yeah, it's very much a collaboration of friends.

4:47 Speaker 1: And Okay, okay, Now, how do you describe your music? Because you know, obviously I can hear a lot of different influences in there. You know, there's some blues, there's some jazz. I mean, it sounds and if I didn't know, and I hope you don't take this wrong, but if I didn't know where you were from, I would assume you were an American band, because you remind me of a lot of you know, especially out of the American South from a certain time period, music that would come from there. I mean, how do you how do you describe your music?

5:17 Speaker 1: Everyone always hates this question, but how do you describe your music and what kinds of influences go into what you're doing?

5:24 Speaker 4: Well, I think I think that's the main thing we play. We started off as very much primarily a blues band, and I do believe you can't play blues unless you go to the heart blue. So we did a little tour down from Chicago. We were from Louisville, Kentucky, Memphis, Nashville all the way down to New Orleans and we made it down to New Orleans for Halloween as well. Oh wow, which was a hell of an experience and I can imagine all that definitely Influencedtyle music. Alle Jenny is a massive fan of John Cleary, who is the hit of the Kentish British boy who went to New Orleans and never came back, which.

6:03 Speaker 2: A note in my heart because New Orleans is like it's awesome, Like we had such a good time on that trip. But we also have other influences as well, other than blues. We've got funk, soul rock, like all of the things that we grew up with and the music that we discovered, like it all lives in our music as well. It all comes through. So I think if I was to describe it, it's funky, solely bluesy tunes.

6:34 Speaker 4: Like every year we make we make it a habit to go and see maybe Staples when she comes around. I love brilliant. She plays a beautiful venue in Lander called the Union Chapel, and she always says, we need you should leave here feeling better than you when you arrived. So I would say our style music is positivity. Basically, it's just making you feel better.

6:58 Speaker 1: Now, that's interesting because I saw so I was doing a little bit of research and I don't know which one of you said this, but one of you said something about approving that brew that blues is not the original emo.

7:12 Speaker 4: That was oh basis of mine when I first first formed this bower Jenny Oh, he said, why would you want to play blues because it's just that was just the originally my music.

7:23 Speaker 1: Really, Yeah, that's a that's a strange comment for a couple of different reasons.

7:30 Speaker 3: But well, so now so you no longer work with that bass player, right.

7:34 Speaker 4: No, No, I don't know. He's he's retired and lives in a white picket fence with his family and went away from the music scene, as he should be, right.

7:42 Speaker 1: Right, I assume he's not listening to blues because it sounds like it depresses him. So you're but but so you're on a mission to prove that it's not that. Obviously I've never although I don't know why you would have to prove that, because I've never heard other than him, I've never heard anyone say that to begin it.

8:00 Speaker 3: That's really interesting.

8:01 Speaker 4: Well, you've got the whole thing. I'm feeling blue, isn't it?

8:04 Speaker 2: So? Oh?

8:04 Speaker 4: Blues music must be just sad. It's all about beings there. Yeah, And I was brought up on a BB King and Buddy guy. You know, she's a sweet little angel, always spread her wings for me. Let me tell you, there's nothing sad about that.

8:16 Speaker 3: There you go, there you go? Absolutely.

8:21 Speaker 1: How much How much music do you have in terms of original songs that you have released as a as a band, or or as a duo or any configuration. Do you have a lot of music that you've put out over the past, Because you said it's it's been almost a decade, right that you've been together.

8:38 Speaker 4: You've got We've got about three albums, two EPs, and a few singles out on Spotify and a new.

8:45 Speaker 2: A new set of four tracks coming out end of this month. More tracks coming soon. Okay, we've only ever recorded and released one cover, which is I'd Rather Go Blind, And everything else on all of our recordings is original.

9:03 Speaker 1: Okay, okay, excellent, And what's the process, like in terms of writing, do the two of you write together or how does that work? And again I assume the I assume the core of the songwriting and the band is the two of you, but maybe not so tell me about it very much.

9:18 Speaker 4: So so I'm quite often I'll come up with an idea. I'm a big fan turning sort of like bad things on their head. I remember when we were in Chicago, it absolutely rained down, and we were in the Museum of Chicago sort of learning about the history of it, having a couple of tea in the cafe, and Jenny just wrote down and I hate it when it ranged in Chicago because it was really loud and we could rely speak to each other. And I thought, no, I like it when it range in Chicago, and so I wrote this entire song about how you know, actually it's great when it range in Chicago and yeah, but we're dancing around in the street, and.

9:55 Speaker 2: We still kept some elements of the like the original real bluesy world where the rain is so it's soaking through my feet, absolutely drenched, like I couldn't be anyware if I dried, And so there's still some elements of that in in rain in Chicago, which is a really upbeat track that everyone loves to sing along with now So, which is lovely.

10:15 Speaker 4: Yes, it's basically taking I always think that there's a good good to find in every situation really for the most part. Yeah, absolutely, it's all that making people feel good. Like we have another song, Money to Burn, which I think Jenny did most of the lyrics on, which was all basically about you know, I should have a ton of cash to go out and spend on someone and have a really good time, but I don't. But it's okay because we're going to go out and have a good time anyway, even though we should be.

10:43 Speaker 2: You know, it's a nice restaurant champagne that.

10:47 Speaker 4: Even if we can't do that, it's still going to be good and maybe one day we will and it'll be fine.

10:51 Speaker 1: Yeah right, No, that's very cool, very cool. Yeah, I get the impression. You know, there seems to be a lot of positivity in your music. Are there is there anyone else where you're from who is doing what you do? Because like I said, you know, I hear so many American influences in your music, and obviously, you know, music from the UK in the past has been a tremendous influence on American music obviously, but I'm curious, like, who is there anyone else in your area who's kind of doing what you're doing and with this particular mix of influences, is there anybody we should know about from over there who's.

11:28 Speaker 4: There's a lot of purists in funk purists and blues purists, and we get on well with all of them, yeah, and in the same bill as all of them. But I haven't really met anyone who's quite doing it the way that we do it.

11:39 Speaker 2: Yeah, there are some full bands locally to hear though. We're very lucky that we get to play alongside some really, really good musicians on a regular basis. There's a band called Twin two Weeks in Nashville. They're very good. There's a light.

11:54 Speaker 4: Yeah, but again they're very different, much more the sort of like the indie rock side of what we do as There's another great band, Canada Hill.

12:04 Speaker 2: Yeah, got velveteen Orchestra. They're very much more muse kind of sounding. They've got this lovely, beautiful singing voice, unbelievable. But yeah, I wouldn't say there's many people that do what we do.

12:19 Speaker 4: Yeah, I always think that that's that's our biggest strength was the fact that you know, I will take in general, take inspiration from anywhere. We're not so that we do a really fun version of Sledgehammered by Peter Gabriel, which we try and do in the sort of there's a band called the Brand New Heavies. We did this really crunky version of it, absolutely brilliant, worth checking out, and so we kind of took that and moved it slightly more towards Prince and sort of to get there even more sort of like that more Prince funk rather than the sort of I guess you call it sort of average white band fund thing going.

12:59 Speaker 2: It's funkyiant.

13:02 Speaker 4: We've had people come up to us afterwards she said, that's my favorite song. And I still think that's my favorite.

13:09 Speaker 1: You know, I have a memory, by the way of when when I was a kid, my mother sitting there with her walkman and and her headphones on and just listening to Sledgehammer over and over.

13:20 Speaker 3: She loved it so much.

13:22 Speaker 2: It's a really good tune and it's got lots of different parts, which is what makes it so fun, and you can really play with the timings and pull on things, and yeah, it's it's a it's a really fun song to play.

13:33 Speaker 1: Is there a studio version of that that you've done or do you only do that live?

13:37 Speaker 4: I know it's that's all your life. So we've only ever recorded one song as a cover currently, Okay, I'm toiling with the idea of taking the badge into the studio and doing a sort of this is the set kind of thing, a bit like what the Beetles dipper please please meet. Because I'm a huge number two. We're starting to sound really really sort of like tight life with this particular set, So it'd be nice to kind of like capture it.

14:02 Speaker 3: No doubt, I agree. What would have to do that? What is the one cover that you've recorded?

14:08 Speaker 4: And so I'd rather go Blindessie James.

14:10 Speaker 3: Okay, okay, any particular reason you chose that.

14:15 Speaker 4: It was so we don't. As we said, we're quite positive. So when we do sad songs, they really do hit. And I remember we were doing this tiny gig in this little pub in Susson and there was a woman at the bar who came up to us at the end and was, as she goes, I heard you play that song. I've just gone through a divorce and this is the first time I've actually cried.

14:36 Speaker 2: And she was in a state. I gave her a big hug and like, She's like, I just I felt like I needed to have a release and this this was that moment, and it was. It was really beautiful and it really touched us how emotional people got over this particular song. We played it a couple of times. I've had people in tears and it was it was It's a beautiful feeling. It's a really hard feeling as a singer because I just want to with a big cuddle. But it really does. It speaks. It's it's quite vocal, it's quite loud in the way that it's emotive.

15:09 Speaker 4: And again we've kind of mashed it up a little bit. So the original song is just a two chord song, but I pulled in a couple of sort of like hints from Hallelujah. So it'll starts off and so everyone's like, oh, this is going to be you know, Jeff Buckby like equible song there, and then breaks into I'd Rather Go Blind and it kind of really hits on that big emotional level.

15:29 Speaker 3: Yeah, Oh wow, I'll have to listen to that interesting.

15:33 Speaker 2: Live. We always say, right, we're gonna do a sad song and then I promise you a happy song after back up again, because it's what yeah.

15:44 Speaker 1: In terms of being you know, we were talking about how you stand out and you're scene right because there's nobody else kind of doing what you're doing in this mix of influences, and you know, you've got the purists who uh maybe uh, you know, wouldn't wouldn't.

15:58 Speaker 3: Dare do what you're doing. But does that do you find that that's an advantage for you?

16:03 Speaker 1: From my vantage point, just getting to know, just getting familiar with the project, it seems like that's a big advantage because you know, everything is so there's so much there's so much noise to cut through. So if you can do something that makes you stand out, I think it's an advantage, you know. But the other side of that being maybe you have some people who are like, oh no, I don't understand how to Some people can't deal with not being able to categorize things. You know, a lot of people in the industry they have to be able to categorize things, and that happens in radio too.

16:32 Speaker 1: With radio formats. But do you think it's Do you think it's an advantage though, to be able to stand out.

16:37 Speaker 4: I think live brilliant, fantastic because we're not We're definitely not playing the same song over and over and over again. Yeah, with variety, the ability to change the lineup as quickly as we do different things means we can never turn you know, I'm not turning down gigs. If I go up to a place and they're like, we can afford to keep you half of that, I can offer them half the bands. You know, it's right. That's really good. But when it comes to things like radio play, when it comes to put the things on playlists and things, because all of our songs are so different, it means that I can show them one song and they'll be like, hey, that's brilliant.

17:12 Speaker 4: Have you got anything else like this?

17:15 Speaker 2: No, we've now started finding like sister songs. So there are a couple of songs that if you particularly like our song Shiver, you're quite likely to like Still Dawn, for example, because they're a bit rockier. But it's it's quite nice to be a mixed bag. It means that we can fit in with everyone. But sometimes if we're going to apply for like a blues festival, for example. It's very difficult because we're not straight blues. It's a bit more straight blues, and so it's a bluesy rock song or it's a bluesy soul song, but it's still got the influences there.

17:54 Speaker 2: So sometimes it's a detriment. But if we do get on the playlist, it's lovely because we then can do something that's slightly different and you know, if you're listening to blues all day, which is lovely and I love blues, it's quite nice to have something that's bluesy rather than just straight twelve bar. It's something that's a little bit more, a little something for you is to chew on if you like.

18:18 Speaker 3: Right right, absolutely. I read something too about do you have a tour coming up in September Europe?

18:27 Speaker 4: Yeah, so not this September, but next September. We are going back to Europe for our third third go round. It's really good fun. I love touring Europe. Last time we've got to play some very fun shows, including a couple of prisons. Just aside of Frankfurt, I think Johnny Cash or End of the Blues brothers. So they did get up and dance. It was good fun.

18:49 Speaker 1: Oh yes, yes, and Johnny Cash of course you have awesome prison blues yep.

18:55 Speaker 2: Oh yes, that was really interesting. So we were there as a reward basically for those people who got merits, which is that they use within Europe. So the prisoners that were able to attend had to have been on best behaviors basically, and they had to be approved by the person who runs the prison, and then they had to write a letter to say why they wanted to attend, and then that got further approved. So the people that actually ended up in the room with us whilst we were playing the music, these guys haven't heard music for ages.

19:25 Speaker 2: They haven't even had a rape, like, so they're so excited about live music. And then afterwards we spent about an hour with them just talking about fans who they'd didn't play live, what instruments they used to play, They they were so they were so up they were It was such a lovely, lovely experience. It's a bizarre experience, which is.

19:45 Speaker 4: Great because when I first heard reward, I thought I thought they'd suffered enough of called them they were our most captive audience.

19:56 Speaker 3: That's perfect, that's awesome. Yeah, how many bands can say that that they've played that kind of show. That's that's really cool, that's really cool.

20:04 Speaker 2: I would do it again though. It was absolutely amazing.

20:07 Speaker 4: Really, the next tour we will be going through a couple of again.

20:12 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's great. That's great.

20:15 Speaker 1: By the way, so you said that, and now the European tour is not this September, but next September.

20:19 Speaker 4: Neke September twenty twenty six.

20:21 Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, so you're you're planning. You're playing pretty far ahead, which is great because most musicians are not good at long term planning.

20:28 Speaker 2: But it's an expensive endeavor and with us, we all the money we make from playing live goes into the band, So it takes us a little while to save up for a toll because by the time you've got hotels and ferries and all the other things that we need, it is quite an expensive trip. But it's so worth it for meeting the people playing in these wonderful venues like and just having some time as a band together. It's really it's it's worth it. But yeah, it does take us a little while to save up.

20:57 Speaker 3: Yeah.

20:57 Speaker 4: Yeah, Also, I don't just like in the US, but in the UK festivals will be booking for summer twenty twenty six in October. Pubs will be fully booked up by the end of December for the next year. So you have to be really, really on it otherwise you're picking up the scraps unfortunately.

21:18 Speaker 1: Right, And that's the same everywhere in the In the US, festivals, yeah, they're they're planning, you know, way in advance. It's funny that that comes up because we had talked about We do a lot of music industry news on the show too, and there was I forget what it was called, but there was a country music festival here that had to be canceled kind of at the last minute. They were refunding tickets because they tried to do this. They tried to put together this big festival with only three months of lead time, and it got to be it got to be like three weeks before before showtime, and they started refunding everybody's tickets because you know, they just couldn't do it.

21:57 Speaker 1: So, yeah, festivals take a tremendous launch term planning, and things even still go wrong. But but yeah, if you get if you get out and play festivals.

22:05 Speaker 3: That's great.

22:06 Speaker 4: Well, it's funny you mentioned that. So there's quite a few things on like Netflix at the moment about things like obviously like the fire fest and things that went well. And Jenny's real, real job, head job from nine to five is in events organizing. Oh so perfect loves and obviously knows all this, this is the amount of stuff that's going to go involved and just loves watching these trainmates going I know exactly what's.

22:28 Speaker 2: Going to happen thirty seconds into the dog and just thinking about trying to organize a festival in three months. All that that said, she was down my spine. No, no, thank you please.

22:37 Speaker 3: Right, not very I know, I know, yeah, it's it's it's crazy.

22:41 Speaker 1: They thought they could do it, but they they learned the hard way and probably it probably cost them a lot of money. But uh yeah no, that's great though, that you're going to be doing festivals, have you you've done festivals before, I assume, right.

22:54 Speaker 4: Oh yeah yeah.

22:54 Speaker 2: So this year we played a little festival called Gilfest which is just southeast of England, which really good fun. And we've played Wayfest and we've all.

23:05 Speaker 4: The park yeah, p of the park was fun.

23:08 Speaker 2: Any we love the festival. See, it's really fun. And because again you get such a lovely mix of different sounds at the festivals, it's actually a bit easier for us to fit in a little bit because because everyone's so open to listening to original songs and different things, and so it's a it's a really nice melting pot of people to play to.

23:29 Speaker 4: Also, I do love a good locally made ber and quite a lot of these festivals now have these little Parker breweries come along, so it's a great opportunity to go and test taste some wares.

23:39 Speaker 3: Oh that's very cool.

23:41 Speaker 1: Yeah, but yeah, I think a festival, I mean, that's such a great opportunity anytime you can play a festival to get in front of a big audience. And also a festival audience I feel is more open to being surprised.

23:52 Speaker 3: You know, if there's a.

23:53 Speaker 1: Band there they're not familiar with, and then the band comes out and they play a set or they or they you know, they start that for a song and you know you're in the audience and it's like, Okay, this isn't quite what I expected, or you know, that's that's a lot of fun. That's one of the fun things about a festival is being surprised by some of the artists who you're not familiar with, who end up sounding like something you maybe weren't expecting, or a mix of things that you weren't expecting.

24:17 Speaker 2: We love that as well. We love discovering new music, and if we're ever invited to a festival, we'll make sure that we go and see the other stages and go and see what's going on and make sure we're making some friends.

24:27 Speaker 4: Yeah, stories of sort of going to Hyde Park back in the day and going to go see the Rolling Stones for free and then or what's this band over here? Oh? This is this is a new band called Free and this is a new bank called Blind Faith or something, and oh that's pretty cool. We go check them out and you're like, of course you did you sort of free.

24:50 Speaker 1: Right right exactly. I'm gonna so it's been wonderful speaking with you at the time goes quickly, but I'm gonna let you go in a minute, but I'm going to play at the the end of our conversation. I want to play this track, Big Train. This is the newest single correct Big Train.

25:04 Speaker 4: Correct.

25:05 Speaker 3: Yeah, what can you tell me? About the video. The video is really impressive.

25:10 Speaker 2: Thank you. So the video is filmed at a little local train station to us called the Bluebell Railway, and they specialize in bringing back old steam trains basically, and it's just this one little line that they go up and down on, but they rebuild steam trains and they try and keep it as original as possible. So all the stations are well, they're nineteen twenties nineteen thirties style. They're beautiful and they all wear the old uniforms and the steam trains come in and out. It's a really fun place to be.

25:44 Speaker 2: And we turned up there and said, you know, would you mind very much if we made a little video whilst we're here, as we're a local band and we'd love to showcase the Rubel And they said absolutely, And then they let us into the ticket booth, the us, into the signal box. We were allowed to stand on the trains like we had the best day. They let us in all these like amazing lit all paces, We got to go in the carriages, we rode the trains. It was it was so fun.

26:11 Speaker 4: I think the whole thing was shot in about three hours.

26:13 Speaker 1: Yeah. Wow, Yeah, it's It's so cool too that they were so cool about it, because you walk into that situation not knowing, right, are they going to be like, oh, I got to get an approval from my boss for you to be here, or you need a permit or whatever, right, But they.

26:29 Speaker 3: Just they just let you do it. Huh, that's great.

26:31 Speaker 2: I think we were quite chill and they and we were quite happy. We didn't need to close We weren't trying to close down any stations to do filming. Yeah, like they do lots of like the old puaros and like the beautiful BBC productions that look amazing, but they have to close the station down for those. We were like, no, no, we're fine. We'll just stand down the end of the platform and do our bit. Like we don't. We don't need to close anything, we don't need to separate anything off and it's just the two of us and our friend Josh with his camera.

26:58 Speaker 2: Yeah. I think it's come out really nicely. I think it shows how much fun we were having as well.

27:03 Speaker 4: Yeah, a friend of mine, how did you do that short of you standing at the end of the platform with playing guitar or the train goes by? It so well it was quite easy. I waited for the train to come, then I went to the end of the platform and started playing the guitar.

27:15 Speaker 3: Was that scary at all?

27:17 Speaker 1: You were you at all concerned that you were going to get like knocked over by the you know, the wind from the train or anything.

27:24 Speaker 4: No, it's all good. I was. I was thought I was in safe hands.

27:27 Speaker 1: Okay, Oh that's good, that's good.

27:30 Speaker 4: They were hands. But I just told myself it was fine, right right, well, very good.

27:36 Speaker 3: Yeah, And I encourage people to check out the video. It's it's uh, it is excellent. And where should people go?

27:42 Speaker 1: Where's the best place to go to keep up with everything that you're doing, with everything that three times seven is doing.

27:46 Speaker 3: Where should they go? Online?

27:48 Speaker 2: So the best place is our website, which is www dot the number three, the word times the number seven, dot co dot UK okay, and that has got all the links on it for our social media. It's got all the dates that we're playing, it's got information about us as the band, it's got photos, it's got all sorts of things on there. So that's that's our main hub of information. But if not, we're on Facebook, we're on Instagram, we're on TikTok. We're on all sorts of things, so yeah, we're fairly easy to find.

28:20 Speaker 4: Yes, I would warn you that. It turns out I thought three times seven terrible band name, no one else would have it. There is an electronic drum and bass band I believe in the Netherlands called three times seven. So if you start hearing some sort of like the drum beats and stuff like that and the technical techno techno, you might have the wrong one.

28:41 Speaker 1: Yeah, I just imagine like, yeah, I didn't stumble upon them when looking you guys up, but yeah, that would be funny to being like, wow, I didn't think they were that versat all, really different.

28:52 Speaker 4: One of the shows in the Netherlands, someone came up to me and was when this isn't what I was expecting. I'm so glad you're not the other bad.

28:59 Speaker 1: That's funny, that's funny. Oh that's amazing. Well, yeah, so we're gonna play this. We'll let you go, but Jenny and David thank you both so much, and we will definitely do this again in the future. It looks like you've got a lot coming up, and you've got new music on the way. I'm sure so we'll definitely do this again. But I really appreciate the both of you joining us today.

29:20 Speaker 2: Thank you so much for having us. It's been a real fun time.

29:22 Speaker 1: Absolutely, I'm gonna hit this track, Big Train, and I'll let you both go, but.

29:26 Speaker 3: Thank you, and yeah, we'll talk to you again soon. Thank you so much. All Right, you got it, Bye bye, all right, wonderful.
