Speaker 13: if you're just joining us, we have Cosmic Blossom here
Speaker 13: with us alive and Udio. They just played a few
Speaker 13: tracks and we opened the show uh with a new
Speaker 13: song too. But that is the newest right, that is
Speaker 13: halfway there from Cosmic Blossom, and of course, uh Gary
Speaker 13: is here, Gary Smith, who is in Uh Gary? How
Speaker 13: many bands are you now? Can you even put a
Speaker 13: number on it?
Speaker 22: Yeah, I mean I'm probably in like six or seven projects.
Speaker 13: Oh is that all?
Speaker 9: Yeah?
Speaker 22: Probably more.
Speaker 9: You do a lot.
Speaker 13: You do a lot of stuff, but I always say
Speaker 13: you're one of the You're one of the most talented
Speaker 13: and busiest musicians I know in the area. So we
Speaker 13: also have so we'll we'll go around here. So we
Speaker 13: have Ryan here on drums and sounding great than your
Speaker 13: first time on the show. So appreciate having you here.
Speaker 13: And uh and Meg of course I love the vocal
Speaker 13: on that last song that that y'all played. That was
Speaker 13: really cool. And you're in Dog a Dog as well.
Speaker 17: Yeah, we'll be on at eleven.
Speaker 13: Yeah, yeah, so that's that's gonna be awesome.
Speaker 15: Yeah.
Speaker 13: When you walked in, I was like, oh wait, she's
Speaker 13: on the other band, and uh, let's see and we
Speaker 13: have Nick welcome.
Speaker 29: What's up guys?
Speaker 13: And uh you Now let me ask you this, So
Speaker 13: are the four of you like because we in fact
Speaker 13: I asked before the show, do I introduce you as
Speaker 13: Cosmic Blossom or Cosmic Blossom collective because it seems like
Speaker 13: there's like is there a core band and then sort
Speaker 13: of ancillary people who are the collective? Or how does how?
Speaker 13: How is this all working?
Speaker 22: Sure?
Speaker 29: So there's there's like I would say, probably like eight
Speaker 29: of us that are like the core group members. Okay,
Speaker 29: you know we kind of split that up into like
Speaker 29: two little subgroups that like write songs like on their own,
Speaker 29: and then we kind of bring it to the larger group.
Speaker 29: Oh and then we have other musicians that are in
Speaker 29: the scene that kind of join on, you know, like
Speaker 29: horn players and stuff like that. Whenever we have like
Speaker 29: bigger gigs. Yeah, for the most part, we kind of
Speaker 29: stick to the core group of like eight of us.
Speaker 13: Yeah, gotcha, gotcha? Wow. So so that that core configuration
Speaker 13: of eight, So what do you have covered in terms
Speaker 13: of instruments or is it a lot of singers or
Speaker 13: how does how does? Like I guess what I'm really
Speaker 13: asking is who are the other four of the eight?
Speaker 29: Sure? Absolutely, I would say the other four. While we
Speaker 29: have brad to Palm on guitar, you couldn't be here today,
Speaker 29: but he's the guy that I started this with lead guitar.
Speaker 29: We have Jimmy on keys, he's fantastic, Chuck on bass,
Speaker 29: we love Chuck and Anthony on drums, he's the other
Speaker 29: drummer that we have, I'd say that. And then we
Speaker 29: have singers on top of that too. You know Amanda
Speaker 29: Van Tyne, Sarah Bird, she's also in Dog Eate Dogs.
Speaker 29: She'll be here a little bit later, okay, And you know,
Speaker 29: just too many people to name off off the rip
Speaker 29: out the rest of that.
Speaker 13: Yeah, is it? Is it challenging to manage all that
Speaker 13: in terms of playing live shows and figuring out who's
Speaker 13: available for what or or maybe it's maybe it makes
Speaker 13: it easier in some ways because you can kind of
Speaker 13: change up the configuration of the songs on the fly
Speaker 13: depending on who's there. I mean, what is that like
Speaker 13: what is that dynamic?
Speaker 22: Like, well, that's one of it.
Speaker 30: And definitely with like like there's a where or you
Speaker 30: guys are playing on March twenty first, I already had
Speaker 30: a gig. But you know it's simple enough where we
Speaker 30: have like two drummers, two basses, and we're all cross trained,
Speaker 30: so we can kind of, yeah, if one of us
Speaker 30: can make it, we can still kind of make make
Speaker 30: the gigs work, yeah, which is nice. But again, we
Speaker 30: tend to play like bigger, bigger shows. We're not doing
Speaker 30: a lot of smaller stuff, so it's usually make it
Speaker 30: worth it, I would say.
Speaker 22: With other shows.
Speaker 13: Yeah, yeah, no, that makes sense.
Speaker 29: Yeah, with smaller gigs and stuff, we'll usually stick to
Speaker 29: like a smaller group of us, you know what I mean.
Speaker 29: Like if we're just playing like a club downtown like
Speaker 29: say Lowell or something like that, you know we'll have
Speaker 29: probably just like the eight of us covered that. If
Speaker 29: we're playing like a bigger festival over the summer, we'll
Speaker 29: probably have we'll break out all the stops for that,
Speaker 29: so we'll have all what fifteen of us on stage
Speaker 29: orthing like that, Yeah, at one time, and you know,
Speaker 29: people kind of jump in and out per song. It's
Speaker 29: not everybody's on the stage all at once. Everybody kind
Speaker 29: of just floats in and out as the songs kind
Speaker 29: of come okay. And yeah, like Gary said, having two
Speaker 29: of everything is really helpful. So if one person can't
Speaker 29: make it, someone can cover the entire base through one show.
Speaker 13: That it's like a Noah's Ark thing. You got two
Speaker 13: of Uh.
Speaker 29: I didn't look at it like that before. Yeah, no,
Speaker 29: it makes sense.
Speaker 13: So that's so that's smart to do it that way.
Speaker 13: That totally makes sense. I like it.
Speaker 17: I like it.
Speaker 13: What is so do you know what, like, what is
Speaker 13: the maximum number of people you've had on stage at
Speaker 13: once a Cosmic Blossom set?
Speaker 29: How did we have on for Wormtown?
Speaker 22: Yeah?
Speaker 13: That once?
Speaker 30: That was probably like with the horn players and stuff,
Speaker 30: that's probably like twelve or thirteen out wow, get yeah.
Speaker 29: Thirteen of us probably on it once.
Speaker 13: Yeah, And what's the minimum them?
Speaker 29: Like, what is the small The smallest we have was four, Yeah,
Speaker 29: and it's it's cool because we'll start with four, like
Speaker 29: for our last festival we played at Wormtown, we start
Speaker 29: with four, and then we add one person, and then
Speaker 29: we add another person and it's just like grows to
Speaker 29: like the end of the show, all thirteen of us
Speaker 29: are on stage all at once.
Speaker 13: So blossoms.
Speaker 15: Yeah, yeah, this guy's good.
Speaker 13: Yeah, it's up to do your marketing. I get all
Speaker 13: the times. Yeah, I want to be part of this.
Speaker 22: Do you want to join us to do?
Speaker 13: You guys?
Speaker 22: Remember sixteen?
Speaker 15: Yeah?
Speaker 13: You know it's up?
Speaker 17: Yeah.
Speaker 13: Oh that's no, that's cool though. Now now when you so,
Speaker 13: how does that affect how you approach recording, because you've got,
Speaker 13: like we featured, uh, that great studio track we opened
Speaker 13: with and we just played halfway there. How do how
Speaker 13: does that get figured out? Who's going to?
Speaker 9: Uh?
Speaker 13: I mean, do you try to get all fifteen people
Speaker 13: on a try or probably not?
Speaker 30: I wouldn't think, but yeah, I mean we we again
Speaker 30: try and kind of get a scratch track, you know,
Speaker 30: we use the well recently started using Pete who I've
Speaker 30: used all for my procreston Maintenance and Fox and Flamingos.
Speaker 30: So like we kind of just lay the scratch track
Speaker 30: down with the four or five of us, and then
Speaker 30: the girls will come add the vocals after the fact
Speaker 30: and we try and get as many people on it.
Speaker 30: Obviously sometimes it doesn't always work out, but yeah, I mean, ultimately,
Speaker 30: you know, everyone, like I said, everyone can play everything,
Speaker 30: so that's half the battle. But yeah, recording wise, we
Speaker 30: it's pretty efficient. Like last song, we pretty much had
Speaker 30: it done in two days over the course of a week.
Speaker 30: We're recording again on March twenty eighth, recording our next
Speaker 30: song excellent.
Speaker 29: First one we played here take your Time.
Speaker 30: Yeah, take your Time, the one that we played solo
Speaker 30: the first one, the acoustic one, So that's going to
Speaker 30: be recorded, Uh, excellent, down to Pete so that yeah,
Speaker 30: and then we're working on a bunch of other stuff too.
Speaker 13: Is there a studio recording of the last one that
Speaker 13: you played that you sang on Meg not yet? No,
Speaker 13: I love that song? Oh, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 17: Yeah, we do.
Speaker 10: Me and Amanda Vantine do that one together usually.
Speaker 11: Kind of like a girl power song and stuff. But yeah,
Speaker 11: we're hoping on recording that soon too.
Speaker 13: Cool. Cool, Yeah, No, that's that's really good. So there
Speaker 13: Now is there an album or is there just singles
Speaker 13: for Cosmic Blossom up to now? I don't so.
Speaker 29: Right now, we just have I think what eight singles,
Speaker 29: and that was over the course of like, you know,
Speaker 29: this has progressed in a crazy way that we've had
Speaker 29: even other members that have you know, like come and gone,
Speaker 29: and so we over the course of the last you know,
Speaker 29: two or three years, we've probably put out about eight singles.
Speaker 29: We're gearing up now to get like a full length album,
Speaker 29: probably about like fourteen songs, oh on one big album
Speaker 29: and we hope to get that like pressed onto vinyl
Speaker 29: and stuff by the end of the summer. That's kind
Speaker 29: of nice. We're in the process of getting everything recorded
Speaker 29: and polished up now for that.
Speaker 13: Oh, very cool. Yeah, that'll that'll be good. It's cool
Speaker 13: that you're gonna do vinyl. A lot of people are
Speaker 13: doing vinyl now, that's awesome. Yeah.
Speaker 29: He just pressed vinyl for his Percussive Maintenance album.
Speaker 13: Oh you did? Yeah, okay, one of those too cool, outstanding. Well,
Speaker 13: I don't know if y'all know. And Gary, you've obviously
Speaker 13: been here before, but not I been here in a
Speaker 13: little while. We have a record player now.
Speaker 29: Yeah, absolutely, spind your vinyl on that.
Speaker 13: Yeah, right, Yeah. One of the guys, this belongs to
Speaker 13: Ryan Sherman, the cherminator. He does a show here, a
Speaker 13: music show. But but he brought this in, you know him. Yeah,
Speaker 13: he brought this in and he said anybody can use it,
Speaker 13: so we can. We can always plug it in and
Speaker 13: spend something on there.
Speaker 24: Sick.
Speaker 13: My theory about you know, people who buy vinyl at
Speaker 13: this point, you know, unless they're they're buying you know,
Speaker 13: used vinyl, you know, like classic rock stuff. But I
Speaker 13: think when people buy brand new vinyl, most of the
Speaker 13: time they probably never even open it, or if they
Speaker 13: do open it. They never play it because it's just
Speaker 13: something that's cool to have.
Speaker 22: It's a collective piece.
Speaker 29: Yeah, absolute, Yeah, it's not the only way that we
Speaker 29: listen to music to anymore, so that's more of a
Speaker 29: it's more of a novelty to have for sure.
Speaker 13: Yeah, it's cool to have it. You know, you can
Speaker 13: mount it on the wall, do whatever with it. But
Speaker 13: but yeah, but we do have the capability to play
Speaker 13: vinyl and we also have a we actually have a
Speaker 13: CD player here too. I don't even have a CD
Speaker 13: player at home anymore, but we do have a CD
Speaker 13: player here. I think I think Rob has a veto
Speaker 13: from Grantis of Mind is the only one who actually
Speaker 13: uses it. But we do have one here, so we
Speaker 13: have that capability as well. But it's nice to live
Speaker 13: in a digital age. But no, that's cool that you're
Speaker 13: in a do vinyl. That's awesome.
Speaker 29: Yeah, yeah, very nice to have for the summer. Absolutely.
Speaker 13: How long has Cosmic Blossom existed. It's been a number
Speaker 13: of years, right, but it sounds like it's changed a lot.
Speaker 13: It's morphed and grown.
Speaker 29: And absolutely yeah, I would say that me and Brad
Speaker 29: started this in twenty twenty when everything kind of shut down.
Speaker 29: We kind of just met up with our buddy Brian
Speaker 29: Lambers a lot. He's a core member of this took.
Speaker 29: He helps us a lot with our production and stuff.
Speaker 29: He's awesome. So we just met up with him and
Speaker 29: just like us three just started writing the original songs
Speaker 29: that we had for this. Later on we picked up
Speaker 29: drums and bass with Axel and Alfredo. Yeah, and then
Speaker 29: right after that we picked up Amanda Vantayne as like
Speaker 29: our lead singer, and then like just from there, once
Speaker 29: that happened, like people start started joining left and right,
Speaker 29: and okay, it just became what it became after that.
Speaker 13: Yeah.
Speaker 29: Yeah, it kind of grew naturally too. It's not like,
Speaker 29: you know, we really actually planned for that. We kind
Speaker 29: of planned on being a band at first, and then
Speaker 29: just so many people just ended up coming through that
Speaker 29: we're like, all right, let's see if we can make
Speaker 29: that like a trend. Yeah, it's been a lot, but
Speaker 29: it's been working for us. It's been really cool.
Speaker 13: Was there any was there any kind of resistance to
Speaker 13: that initially within the band, Like do we want to
Speaker 13: just let people sort of join or did you just
Speaker 13: did you just go with it instinctively? Like no, this
Speaker 13: is cool just if people want to become a.
Speaker 29: Part of it, honestly, and I'm so proud of this.
Speaker 29: Everybody who's joined this has been so like okay with
Speaker 29: making sure that everybody has their time in the spotlight.
Speaker 29: You know, we're really good about sharing it and making
Speaker 29: it as much of a collaboration as possible.
Speaker 13: That's really cool. Yeah, I admire that a lot. That's
Speaker 13: that's excellent. That's excellent. And then what do you have
Speaker 13: coming up? Do you have any shows this weekend that
Speaker 13: you're playing or what's what's kind of next for a
Speaker 13: cosmos Nicker.
Speaker 30: You're playing a Hennecker Brewery March twenty first, yeah, guy,
Speaker 30: and then we just when we were playing Warping weft
Speaker 30: Ye with Fox and excellent Low Yeah, on April tenth,
Speaker 30: and then Grange Creek.
Speaker 17: Yeah.
Speaker 29: I'd say our biggest show that we're excited for is
Speaker 29: we're playing the Capital Center for the Arts, the Bank
Speaker 29: in New Hampshire, Stage up Conquered and we're.
Speaker 13: You're doing that Kevin Haran, Kevin Hornan, Yeah, yeah, he's
Speaker 13: been on the show. Yeah, Yeah, that's great.
Speaker 30: We're playing in his band. So I brought I brought
Speaker 30: Cosmic well of course you are. But yeah, that's that
Speaker 30: should be as that would be a really.
Speaker 13: Is that throughout n H Music Collective?
Speaker 25: No?
Speaker 28: No, no?
Speaker 13: Oh cool, very nice, very nice. Yeah. How many, like
Speaker 13: how many songs does Cosmic Blossom have at this point?
Speaker 13: That because obviously, you know, you've got songs that everybody,
Speaker 13: like everybody who's a part of it knows, right, So
Speaker 13: does that you have a lot?
Speaker 29: Yeah, Oh my gosh.
Speaker 15: Yeah.
Speaker 29: So we probably have about like ten that we've like
Speaker 29: retired is what we call it, with ones we don't
Speaker 29: really play anymore. We have probably like eight right now
Speaker 29: that are in our like what we call our set,
Speaker 29: which we'll bring to anywhere, and then we're we've got
Speaker 29: probably about four more that we're writing, and then maybe
Speaker 29: even like two or three acoustic songs on top of that.
Speaker 22: So we have we have a lot.
Speaker 29: We've about twenty twenty or twenty five we've that we've
Speaker 29: got floating around.
Speaker 13: Oh that's great. Yeah, with that many? Is it hard
Speaker 13: to write a set list if you're in a situation where,
Speaker 13: like say, you've got an hour of time to fill,
Speaker 13: obviously you can't play all of those. So yeah, it
Speaker 13: was a difficult to decide with that much material.
Speaker 29: Honestly, the biggest part of it is like who's there,
Speaker 29: you know, all that makes there and who knows what song?
Speaker 29: And then you may kind of create a set list
Speaker 29: based upon who shows up. Okay, we've spent a lot
Speaker 29: of time making sure that everybody knows a little bit
Speaker 29: of everything, but still it kind of we kind of
Speaker 29: run into that sometimes, so we gear our sets on
Speaker 29: who's there and who's ready to show up that day.
Speaker 13: No, that makes sense. That makes sense. So now where
Speaker 13: where should people go online to keep up with everything
Speaker 13: that Cosmic Blossom is doing and the music that you
Speaker 13: have out and and I assume this is all on Spotify?
