Speaker 4: gonna go around the room as we like to do,
Speaker 4: and have everyone introduce themselves, tell us who they are

Speaker 4: on a different show in a different venue. Go ahead, Hello, Hello,
Speaker 4: all right, who are you and what do you do
Speaker 4: in the band? Paul Bergoing, I played drums, all right, Paul,

Speaker 4: All right, Chris welcome and you.
Speaker 7: Gary Mulkegan, I'm the lead singer hush Money.
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, oh, and the bass player, and let me
Speaker 4: get that you're on a different board here. Let me
Speaker 4: make sure we can hear you. We gotta treat the
Speaker 4: bass player right because I'm a bass player. So bass
Speaker 4: players unite. Let's make sure I got that mic up
Speaker 4: nice and loud for you. Okay, go ahead, Yeah, Hey,
Speaker 4: I'm Brian Stafford, not play bass. I'm failing with the
Speaker 4: microphone here. Say something. Oh oh, there we go. Okay, cool,

Speaker 4: you're you're on a separate board here, and sometimes it
Speaker 4: doesn't always go as smoothly as we want. So welcome everybody.
Speaker 4: Uh So, I love the uh I love that track
Speaker 4: party in the six o three. You guys got a
Speaker 4: lot going on. The vocals there remind me a little
Speaker 4: bit of uh, David Lee Roth. I don't know, I
Speaker 4: don't know.
Speaker 7: We've heard that a few times. Yeah, yeah, it's interesting.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you do remind me like like, if you listen carefully,
Speaker 4: obviously you know your voice is a little a little
Speaker 4: raspier than his, but but something in the delivery, at
Speaker 4: least on that song, it does remind me of d
Speaker 4: L R.
Speaker 7: Yeah. No, and we do. And when we play our
Speaker 7: cover shows.
Speaker 8: We you know, we do a couple of Van Halen songs,
Speaker 8: so oh you do yeah, yeah, yeah, we we play
Speaker 8: uh in talking about love and uh.
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know what's the other one said? You really
Speaker 7: got it? He really got me? Thank you.
Speaker 4: Yeah. So the obvious question, we'll get this out of
Speaker 4: the way. Where does the name come from? Hush money?
Speaker 5: What does it?
Speaker 4: What does it mean?
Speaker 3: You know?
Speaker 8: We uh we when when we pulled it together, it
Speaker 8: was a couple of years ago, and uh, there's you know,
Speaker 8: it's it's hard to get a band name together, and
Speaker 8: we you know, there was there was a lot of
Speaker 8: hush money in the news at that time, and so
Speaker 8: we wanted to kind of play fun at it and
Speaker 8: just have uh, you know, have a good time with
Speaker 8: with that. When people come see our shows, they're you know,
Speaker 8: they're contributing to the to the hush money fun.
Speaker 7: So that's kind of how it started.
Speaker 6: I like that.
Speaker 4: I like that, how long have you guys been together?
Speaker 4: How long has this band existed?
Speaker 8: So Chris and I were started it and it was
Speaker 8: interesting because I had answered an ad in Craigslist three
Speaker 8: years ago and uh and and the basis at the
Speaker 8: time we it was named Carl, Carl Brooks, and he
Speaker 8: had actually started it and he he uh, he had
Speaker 8: he had cancer and he passed away that year. And
Speaker 8: so at that time Chris and I had to decide
Speaker 8: whether we wanted to fold or where we wanted to
Speaker 8: keep doing what we were doing. Yeah, and that's when
Speaker 8: we brought in Paul and then and then Brian who
Speaker 8: came from California and UH and joined the band. He
Speaker 8: moved out here and I said to him today, I said,
Speaker 8: you don't have a lot of people that moved from
Speaker 8: California to New Hampshire. So so we we pulled Brian
Speaker 8: in and uh, the last what fifteen months we've been together,
Speaker 8: the four of us and UH and pulling. We've been
Speaker 8: doing a lot over the last fifteen months.
Speaker 4: That's fantastic. Yeah, Brian, did you did you move out
Speaker 4: here specifically for hush money?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 5: It's crazy.
Speaker 4: Wow, that would be a great story. Yeah, you're allowed.
Speaker 4: You're allowed to make things up on the show. I
Speaker 4: don't care. I'm a I'm a marketing guy. I'm fine
Speaker 4: with that. Whatever you want to whatever you want to talk.
Speaker 9: It was a national ad and I went, man, that
Speaker 9: sounds like a great opportunity really had out there.
Speaker 4: Yeah no, I moved out for work.
Speaker 9: Okay, love the area and yeah, all right, don't regret
Speaker 9: the second of coming out here.
Speaker 5: It's beautiful et here.
Speaker 4: Even on a daylight today where we actually on a
Speaker 4: day to day. You like the snow, love the snow?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, all right, See I'm the I'm the opposite.
Speaker 4: I grew up here and I hate the snow.
Speaker 9: I hope I don't ever get to that point. But
Speaker 9: so far, so like the novelty of it's still super appealings.
Speaker 4: No, that's good. So you've only been how long have
Speaker 4: you been here?
Speaker 9: We moved out in August of twenty twenty three?
Speaker 4: Oh okay, okay, so not not too long, yeah, little
Speaker 4: under three years.
Speaker 9: Set, it's like two and a half years.
Speaker 4: I guess now you guys have all I'm sure you've
Speaker 4: all been in other bands, right, Like Paul you were
Speaker 4: in When I interviewed you before, it was on a
Speaker 4: different show. You were in a band called Sons of Auto. Yes,
Speaker 4: and Chris you would you? Oh, you mentioned off air
Speaker 4: you had played in a band with Larry from Down Boys.
Speaker 4: Because for people watching the video feed, I'm wearing my
Speaker 4: down Boys shirt. So you had played with Larry and
Speaker 4: you probably played in sm other bands.
Speaker 5: Tend Oh you were in two time. I played the
Speaker 5: top of them when it was almost three years ago.
Speaker 4: I'll be damned okay yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, okay.
Speaker 5: Yeah a little bit.
Speaker 4: Yeah, nice folks, Yeah, oh absolutely no, I love them.
Speaker 4: And then uh so, what about you, Gary, So.
Speaker 7: My stare is actually a little different than these guys.
Speaker 8: So back in uh in, in high school and college,
Speaker 8: I actually was a rapper, no kidding, Yeah, And I
Speaker 8: had a song that was the single that was pushed
Speaker 8: out called step into the Future that I got to
Speaker 8: open up for Rundy Him, Season Salt and Peppa and
Speaker 8: Robin s who had that song show Me Love. That's
Speaker 8: still yeah, you still hear it every I heard it
Speaker 8: at the market basket the other day.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, that was a huge hit.
Speaker 7: Yeah, so there are so so I still uh so.
Speaker 8: I did that, and then I left the music industry
Speaker 8: when I got married and I went in the corporate world.
Speaker 8: And thirty years later, I said, I really always wanted
Speaker 8: to be the lead singer for a rock band, and
Speaker 8: I wanted to see if I could do it. That's
Speaker 8: when I answered that ad. Yeah, that's when I hooked
Speaker 8: up with this guy. Yeah, and the rest has been
Speaker 8: kind of history between all of us.
Speaker 4: So I'll be damn yeah. So yeah, because well it's
Speaker 4: not entirely surprising though, because in the in your songs,
Speaker 4: you know, there was an element of that of where
Speaker 4: you're kind of like more more singing than rap, I mean,
Speaker 4: more rapping than singing.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4: Oh that's cool. That's cool, wild, that's wild.
Speaker 7: Yeah. It brings a different element to it, yeah, it does.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 4: And what about you, Brian, I mean, I assume back
Speaker 4: in California you were playing in bass players are always
Speaker 4: highly sought after, so I assume you had.
Speaker 9: I'd love to claim that I was doing it forever,
Speaker 9: but really I probably the most recent in terms of
Speaker 9: everybody here in terms of the history you're playing in bands.
Speaker 8: I had.
Speaker 9: I was in two bands over in California, but really
Speaker 9: that started like in twenty nineteen, so it's only been
Speaker 9: like six years I've been playing in bands. Really Yeah,
Speaker 9: oh no kidding, but yeah, two great bands. Played with
Speaker 9: friends there and then moved out here and then kind
Speaker 9: of took a year to settle in to delay the
Speaker 9: land and learn how to live out here, like how
Speaker 9: do how do you shovel snow?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 7: Doing that?
Speaker 9: Timely with the weather today. But yeah, after about a year,
Speaker 9: that's when I finally was like, yep, I should start
Speaker 9: looking for a band playing and yeah, that's how I
Speaker 9: got connected with Chris on yeahne.
Speaker 4: Yeah, excellent, excellent. Now how many how many songs have
Speaker 4: you guys recorded so far?
Speaker 8: So we have the the EP has six songs on it, okay,
Speaker 8: and but we've we've got another four songs that we've
Speaker 8: already written, and we've been playing and practicing so when
Speaker 8: we what we've had to do is to get shows
Speaker 8: around here. We've created two mystiques of the band. One
Speaker 8: is a cover band where we when we play like
Speaker 8: we're playing Revo Casino on in Dover on February twenty first,
Speaker 8: we're gonna do ninety eight percent covers that night. But
Speaker 8: then we have a show on May twenty third at
Speaker 8: TAFAA in Lowell. Yeah, and we're gonna be doing a
Speaker 8: show with One Time Mountain, who's they've got an album
Speaker 8: coming out, so we're gonna be opening up for them,
Speaker 8: and that's gonna be all originals show. So we have
Speaker 8: ten originals right now that that we can go out
Speaker 8: there and fill an hour set for you know, for
Speaker 8: for bands and yeah and uh and then we have
Speaker 8: like four hours, five hours worth of covers that we have.
Speaker 7: Oh wow, okay, yeah, when we do shows, it's either
Speaker 7: three or four hours.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so damn Yeah, Taffa is a great room. Uh,
Speaker 4: although when I hear the name, it always makes me
Speaker 4: chuckle because uh h, William from Sepsis when they've been
Speaker 4: on the show, he always refers to it Asta.
Speaker 8: I say it all the time and everybody corrects me.
Speaker 8: So I'm glad I got it right the first time.
Speaker 4: I say yeah, because because whenever I hear it, you know,
Speaker 4: I started craving a Greek salad or something, you know.
Speaker 4: But yeah, but no, Taffa isn't really that's a cool
Speaker 4: that's a cool place. And then so we should talk
Speaker 4: about and we're gonna play because he said, you send
Speaker 4: me a bunch of music and it's all really good,
Speaker 4: but I do want to make sure we play a
Speaker 4: badass don't break because this song, uh, this is significant
Speaker 4: for you guys. This is going to be in a movie.
Speaker 8: Correct, Yeah, Alton wa movies. It's coming out with with
Speaker 8: the horror film this October called The House.
Speaker 4: And Chris was telling me about this off air earlier.
Speaker 4: This is fascinating.
Speaker 8: But yeah, yeah, So the it's a it's it's based
Speaker 8: on a story about and if you remember in the eighties,
Speaker 8: there was this kid that was like living in the
Speaker 8: walls of this home, like he was going in and
Speaker 8: I don't know, but living, but like he was torturing
Speaker 8: this family in Massachusetts, and then he eventually killed the
Speaker 8: daughter and the mother and now he's still in jail
Speaker 8: to this day, you know. And uh, and the movie
Speaker 8: is kind of based on that story.
Speaker 7: And and so it's it's.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 8: The the song Badass Don't Break talks about the girl
Speaker 8: in this movie who's fighting against this you know, this
Speaker 8: this alleged this person that's that's that's a haunting her
Speaker 8: and her family.
Speaker 4: Okay, okay, what's the movie called to you?
Speaker 7: The House?
Speaker 5: The House?
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay. And then this is, uh, do you know
Speaker 4: when this is coming out October of this year? October? Okay,
Speaker 4: so not too far. And then so and the song
Speaker 4: is actually in the film.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, and excellent, And we're going to be doing
Speaker 7: the rap party for them in July.
Speaker 4: Oh, very cool.
Speaker 7: We'll be performing follow all the actors in the movie.
Speaker 4: Oh that's amazing. How did the family, How did this
Speaker 4: opportunity come about? Because that's huge.
Speaker 7: So Mark Alton Wig, I've actually known him for a
Speaker 7: long time and uh, and so.
Speaker 8: He was actually part of the rap scene back in
Speaker 8: the house, but I was doing it and we were
Speaker 8: we played basketball together in high school as well, and
Speaker 8: so we go way back. And uh, he's always, uh,
Speaker 8: you know, been involved in movies and he uh, he
Speaker 8: had another movie that he had done a few years
Speaker 8: back as well.
Speaker 7: So this is the follow up to that.

Speaker 4: of this kind of the magic sort of happened there, right.
Speaker 12: Yeah, from what you were saying, Yeah, our Love was
Speaker 12: pretty much done, and six oh three we had done
Speaker 12: and it was basically go in and get those and
Speaker 12: then we had extra time, so why don't we just

Speaker 4: good when that happens. And then so with the shows,
Speaker 4: with the shows that you guys are doing, because Gary,
Speaker 4: you were talking earlier about how you know you kind
Speaker 4: of like some of the shows are cover shows, some
Speaker 4: of the more original bass Like, what's what's sort of
Speaker 4: the ratio there in terms of like how many shows
Speaker 4: do you guys do that are more more covers?
Speaker 8: I think it would probably be like seventy five percent
Speaker 8: for the stuff we'll be doing. But I think it's
Speaker 8: gonna flip at some point. I'm I mean, I'm very
Speaker 8: confident in what we're creating and the songs that we
Speaker 8: even don't even have on the on the CD right
Speaker 8: now and on the on on the on the EP is.
Speaker 7: Really strong. They're very strong. So I think they're gonna
Speaker 7: compliment the ones that we have now really well.
Speaker 8: And and I think that that once people starts hearing
Speaker 8: our originals more and more and more, they're going to
Speaker 8: be asking for us to do that more. Yeah, and uh,
Speaker 8: it's to get shows. You gotta we gotta do what
Speaker 8: we have to do, right Yeah. Yeah, So, but I
Speaker 8: think at some point it's gonna flip.
Speaker 4: Yep, yep. Do you guys do any covers that are
Speaker 4: kind of obscure? I've I've been in in bands where
Speaker 4: we did, like we would do covers, but they but
Speaker 4: there might be something in there that nobody.
Speaker 7: Chris, yea, Chris, that is half of the stuff we do.
Speaker 4: Would B sides really really?
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's so much great music out there, you know.
Speaker 11: Oh yeah, I think I think I've approached it in
Speaker 11: a way where, you know, I want to make people
Speaker 11: happy when we play a coup of songs.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 11: At the same time, you have an identity where you like,
Speaker 11: you have a few you have some ideas about what
Speaker 11: you want to hear too, is you know people can
Speaker 11: identify with that, so yeah, you know, and and definitely
Speaker 11: like B side stuff.
Speaker 8: Yeah, the Jackal song just because I'm Drunk, that's one
Speaker 8: that you'll hear it at the Coach Money.
Speaker 4: Show, okidding.
Speaker 7: Yeah, Yeah, it's pretty good.
Speaker 4: So when you do something like that that maybe not
Speaker 4: everyone knows, do you like, do you ever have someone
Speaker 4: like come up to you and say, hey, I really
Speaker 4: like they just assume that it's an original and they
Speaker 4: come up to you and they go, I really like
Speaker 4: that song.
Speaker 8: We I think the way we introduce it is it's
Speaker 8: more of you know, this is for all you party
Speaker 8: here is late night ers. Yeah and uh and and
Speaker 8: it's been very well received yeah the songs, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 8: and so so that's definitely one that that we throw
Speaker 8: in there when when there's a lot of people just
Speaker 8: you know, partying it away.
Speaker 4: So yeah, I part of why I was curious is
Speaker 4: so I used to play a band called My Life
Speaker 4: Crisis a long time ago, and we, you know, we
Speaker 4: did a couple of covers and one of the songs
Speaker 4: we covered was hate by Kiss. But the thing is,
Speaker 4: unless you were, you know, a really die hard Kiss fan,
Speaker 4: you had no idea that that And we didn't say
Speaker 4: anything when we introduced it. We would just play it,
Speaker 4: and sometimes people would come up to us and I
Speaker 4: really like that, what's that one song you did? And uh,
Speaker 4: you know, and they would assume you know, and then
Speaker 4: of course we would tell them, well, no, it's not ours,
Speaker 4: that's a Kiss cover. But it was like like from
Speaker 4: Carnival of Souls, which unless you're a die hard Kiss
Speaker 4: fan you have no clue. But uh, but yeah, I was.
Speaker 4: I always thought that was that was kind of fun
Speaker 4: when when you guys the covers that you do, do
Speaker 4: you try to stay as faithful to the original as possible.
Speaker 4: Because the other interesting thing I've noticed is that you
Speaker 4: know different people and probably most people want to hear
Speaker 4: want to hear covers that sound really close to the original.
Speaker 4: But then but then there are people like me who
Speaker 4: are like if I'm hearing an artist to a cover
Speaker 4: song and they kind of put their own spin out it,
Speaker 4: I like that. It's like, I know how the original goes.
Speaker 4: I want to hear your interpretation of it, you know
Speaker 4: what I mean, Like, like, how do you guys approach that.
Speaker 4: Do you try to keep it, you try to play
Speaker 4: it straight, or do you ever kind of, you know,
Speaker 4: put at a little hush money spin on it.
Speaker 9: I would say for the most part, we try to
Speaker 9: keep it to the original. One of the reasons is
Speaker 9: because it just makes it easier to have more of
Speaker 9: a repertoire. Like when that's true, because you know, there's
Speaker 9: so many songs you're trying to have in your your
Speaker 9: whole catalog. Makes it easier to practice independently when it's
Speaker 9: closer to what like, you know, you can listen to
Speaker 9: it real quick and just play along with that because
Speaker 9: you don't have as much time when you're all together
Speaker 9: rehearsing to run through all like, hey, we want to
Speaker 9: change this up a little bit, so like let's practice
Speaker 9: it this way. Just makes it a little more economical
Speaker 9: with their time.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's true, that makes sense. That makes sense. Yeah,
Speaker 4: Now are any of you guys and other bands currently
Speaker 4: or are you all just committed to hush Money? Because
Speaker 4: I know, like Paul, I know what every drummer I
Speaker 4: know is in ten different bandsau, Yeah, I still play
Speaker 4: with sons of you do sons of Auto, so going,
Speaker 4: oh that's fantastic.
Speaker 6: It's yeah, just on the side kind of thing.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, oh that's cool.
Speaker 6: This is the main thing. But yeah, yeah I still
Speaker 6: gam with all those guys.
Speaker 4: Oh, very cool, Very cool, Because I have a theory
Speaker 4: about that. When when you're growing up and you first
Speaker 4: get interested in playing a musical instrument, if you go
Speaker 4: to your parents and you say, hey, I want to
Speaker 4: play drums, that's like that and maybe the tuba or
Speaker 4: the two that they're going to try to actively talk
Speaker 4: you out of. And and and I think that what
Speaker 4: that has created is we're now in a we now
Speaker 4: exist in a time where there's not enough drummers.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Probably, yeah, because literally, like I'm like, I'm not kidding,
Speaker 4: Like every every drummer I know is in is in
Speaker 4: multiple multiple bands. And bass players are in high demand too.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 9: Well they're in the background a lot, right, so they
Speaker 9: can just slide in and out of bands.
Speaker 4: And yeah, what do you need me to do?
Speaker 5: Okay, I can do that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, it makes it easier. Yeah, absolutely absolutely. We
Speaker 4: should play another track, let's see, because we do have
Speaker 4: a we do it. Yeah, we haven't played everything yet.
Speaker 4: What do you guys, I'll let you guys pick uh.
Speaker 7: Oh see electric shock?
Speaker 4: You want to play electric shock? Sure, that's a good one.
Speaker 4: That's a good one if you're just joining us. We've
Speaker 4: got hush money here with us in the studio, and

Speaker 4: mind is urgency. Really like there's and I like it.
Speaker 4: There's an urgency to it, you know what I mean?
Speaker 4: It does? Yeah? Yeah, no, very very cool. What's like,
Speaker 4: what's kind of is there is there a crowd favorite
Speaker 4: among these? Is there a song that you guys have
Speaker 4: that that really you just notice the crowd reacts to
Speaker 4: when you play it? Especially well, I think Our Love
Speaker 4: is the main one.
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, I agree, But I've also, like
Speaker 9: some I think I've noticed more of a reaction to
Speaker 9: the party in six o three, like when we've been
Speaker 9: up on stage playing in Yeah.
Speaker 8: Yeah, a lot of people because you know, we actually
Speaker 8: were we had it set where we would play it
Speaker 8: after Sweet Home Alabama. Oh really and uh and just
Speaker 8: kind of like say, look, New Hampshire doesn't have a
Speaker 8: theme song.
Speaker 7: Oh why don't we? You know why? Under this song
Speaker 7: be the theme song for New Hampshire, right.
Speaker 8: Right party in the sixth oh three. Everybody, everybody you
Speaker 8: know kinda we'll understand that.

Speaker 4: lot of sense. Now, are you guys playing anywhere this weekend?

Speaker 4: because obviously you're playing a lot. Is is there a
Speaker 4: play or do you have like a favorite venue?

Speaker 12: And then the the casinos are are different than the
Speaker 12: casinos because you know, everyone's gambling, right, so there's nobody
Speaker 12: really right in front of you. Yeah, and so you're
Speaker 12: sort of playing for like a like a movie audience
Speaker 12: or they're doing other things.
Speaker 4: That's interesting. Yeah, but uh yeah.
Speaker 9: Like one of the casinos in particular at least stood
Speaker 9: out to me. It was an interesting setup. It was
Speaker 9: like it was the one in Lebanon, and it was
Speaker 9: like directly behind the bar, so you're like elevated behind
Speaker 9: the bar.
Speaker 4: Interesting picture frame the crowd was a picture frame above
Speaker 4: the bar. Really yeah, wow, that's also oh yeah, oh yeah,

Speaker 8: This one we we actually we we we actually use
Speaker 8: rap uh like you know, a rap flow into the song. Yeah,
Speaker 8: so we took that uh and built it in. But
Speaker 8: it's a country kind of rock country rock like sound
Speaker 8: to it. But then we throw the rap in there,
Speaker 8: so it gives it a little twist to it, and
Speaker 8: I think it makes it a neat combination. And then
Speaker 8: one of the new songs that we're going to be
Speaker 8: doing is actually going to be an offshoot of that
Speaker 8: where we're gonna call it baby come on Okay, and
Speaker 8: it's kind of like a backwards version of the song okay,
