Speaker 4: New Hampshire. Of course, you can stream the show from anywhere.
Speaker 4: Go to Matt connorton dot com, slash live and today
Speaker 4: is for you live listeners. January twenty four, twenty twenty six,
Speaker 4: and we have joining us from the Puncturists. Let me
Speaker 4: get that volume up here. We've got Dale Farrow, who
Speaker 4: is the the bass player in the band.
Speaker 11: Hello, Dale, Hi, Matt, can you hear me? Okay? Absolutely?
Speaker 11: You sound great? Yeah, absolutely, welcome. I'm excited to talk
Speaker 11: to you. By the way.
Speaker 4: You know, you are a fellow bass player, so I
Speaker 4: was like talking to another bass player. And I love
Speaker 4: I love the album. I'm not all right you Yeah,
Speaker 4: really really good. I listen to the whole thing. That's
Speaker 4: that's probably my favorite track, which is why I chose
Speaker 4: it to open the segment. But yeah, great, great stuff.
Speaker 11: Now where are you from? Dale? Where's the band from?
Speaker 12: We're based in northern England. Pat Gale Pats the guitarist
Speaker 12: Scales this singer live in a place called Barnsley, which
Speaker 12: is just south of Leeds in West Yorkshire. I live
Speaker 12: in East Yorkshire and the drummer Martin lives on the
Speaker 12: East Coast, a place called Grimsby. We're all sort of
Speaker 12: within an hour and a half of each other, so yeah, Nordon, England.
Speaker 11: Really so you're you're a little bit scattered, but not
Speaker 11: not too much.
Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean, poor old Martin as a as a
Speaker 12: longer drive to rehearsal than the rest of us. But yeah,
Speaker 12: but yeah, yeah, we're not all in one town or
Speaker 12: anything like that. But yeah, gotcha, gotcha. Now, the Puncturists
Speaker 12: has been around, what does it since twenty two?
Speaker 11: Is that correct? Yeah?
Speaker 12: I think yes, it's just sort of post COVID. The
Speaker 12: Pat was previously in a ban call system of Hate
Speaker 12: and a couple of the members, him and the drummer
Speaker 12: decided they were going to do something slightly different and
Speaker 12: formed the Puncturists.
Speaker 11: Okay, and.
Speaker 12: The drummer Karl was also the singer, but he left
Speaker 12: and Pat persuaded Gail to come in and sing as
Speaker 12: lead singer. And this was the first band she'd ever
Speaker 12: played in and never sang with, so that was quite
Speaker 12: quite something for her. And I joined where I mean now,
Speaker 12: I joined in twenty three on the base and Martin
Speaker 12: joined us nearly two years ago. So we in the
Speaker 12: current format we've been going nearly two years. So yeah, okay, so.
Speaker 4: It sounds like there's been some some lineup changes over
Speaker 4: the you know, over a relatively short period of time.
Speaker 4: Like I said, of the bands have been around for
Speaker 4: a few years, but it sounds like it it took
Speaker 4: a while for this, this current lineup to sort of coalesces.
Speaker 12: That correct, That's right, Yeah, I mean it with a
Speaker 12: lot of bands, you get that when they first start,
Speaker 12: you sort of have to settle in and everyone sort
Speaker 12: of gets to know what's what. But we we had issues.
Speaker 12: We were a little bit spinal tapped with drummers.
Speaker 11: For a while.
Speaker 12: Not we didn't actually kill.
Speaker 11: Any of I was gonna say, I hope nobody blew
Speaker 11: up or anything.
Speaker 12: But but we we went through a few until we've
Speaker 12: we've we think we've got the right guy on the
Speaker 12: drum stool now. So and like I say, we've been
Speaker 12: nearly two years, we've been in this format and the
Speaker 12: album that you've got there, I'm not all right, is
Speaker 12: the the sort of the the outcome of our first
Speaker 12: sort of period together as a band. So yeah, and
Speaker 12: we're we're all very proud of it as well.
Speaker 4: In terms of finding Martin to play drums. I'm just
Speaker 4: curious because this is a subject that comes up a
Speaker 4: lot on the show, at least with the guests that
Speaker 4: we have here in America. It seems like, I don't
Speaker 4: know if it's the same there, but it seems like
Speaker 4: here every drummer is in like ten different bands because
Speaker 4: it's so hard to find an actual drummer.
Speaker 11: And I have theories about why that is.
Speaker 4: My theory is that you know, when you're growing up
Speaker 4: and you decide you want to play a musical instrument,
Speaker 4: we have to have the conversation with your parents about well,
Speaker 4: I think I want to play drums, you know that,
Speaker 4: and maybe the tuba or the two that they're going
Speaker 4: to try to talk you out of because they don't
Speaker 4: want all that noise in their house. But I mean,
Speaker 4: is that is that a challenge there too? Is it
Speaker 4: hard to find a drummer?
Speaker 12: It is, Yes, to find the right drummer has been
Speaker 12: quite difficult. I mean drummers, Like you say, drummers are
Speaker 12: a rare breed, and they're an old breed as well.
Speaker 12: You have to have one or two screws slightly lose
Speaker 12: to want to do it. And I think, and but yeah,
Speaker 12: it's difficult to get the right person at the right time, because,
Speaker 12: like you say, so many people. When we were looking
Speaker 12: and we got Martin, we had so many people applying
Speaker 12: and they said, well, I also play in you know,
Speaker 12: X y Z bands, and you know, you know, I
Speaker 12: might not necessarily be available all the time. But fortunately
Speaker 12: for us, Martin was coming back from a break from drumming.
Speaker 12: He played for a long time. He's very experienced drummer,
Speaker 12: but hadn't actually played for sort of seven or eight years,
Speaker 12: maybe a little bit longer, and had been sort of
Speaker 12: concentrating on sort of work and real life and things
Speaker 12: like that that do get in the way. And he
Speaker 12: decided that he was going to give it one more go.
Speaker 12: He'd previously been playing oddly in a in a discos
Speaker 12: covers band, you know, like a party band, and the
Speaker 12: clips that he sent us were stuff, you know, sort
Speaker 12: of from that band, but actually the skills and chops
Speaker 12: you need to play that sort of stuff, you know,
Speaker 12: you know, are quite something, and he, you know, he
Speaker 12: impressed us. And you know, as soon as I saw
Speaker 12: what he'd sent us stuff on YouTube, I said to Pat,
Speaker 12: We've got to get this guy in and have a
Speaker 12: you know, get him in and have a proper rehearsal
Speaker 12: with him, see how we get on. And we clicked
Speaker 12: straight away, and he you know, he's he that wasn't
Speaker 12: his type of music he's in. He's a lot more
Speaker 12: sort of rock and sort of punky type background, even
Speaker 12: though he hadn't played in a band like hours before
Speaker 12: or not for Donkeys' years. But but you know, he
Speaker 12: really has fitted in well. And it helps particularly. I mean,
Speaker 12: you as a bass player will know that. You know,
Speaker 12: we we have to keep our ears and eyes on
Speaker 12: the drummer at all times. Were the people who hold
Speaker 12: it all together? Yeah, not obviously not of sound like
Speaker 12: you know that with the backbone, but we are.
Speaker 11: We are. Bass players are at the back absolutely.
Speaker 12: Taris and singers. You know we'd be lost without us.
Speaker 12: But but yeah, it's nice to actually be on stage
Speaker 12: without having to worry about what's going on behind me
Speaker 12: right right, And and he enables, you know, he enables
Speaker 12: you to sort of relax into into a gig and
Speaker 12: and you know, feel confident that everything's going to be okay,
Speaker 12: whereas occasionally before that wasn't the case.
Speaker 4: Right right now, I'm not alright. The album on Dead
Speaker 4: Swan Records, which is is this a label that the
Speaker 4: puncturists created specifically for the puncturists Dead Swine Records.
Speaker 12: It is, yes, yeah, it's it's not the first. We
Speaker 12: got a few releases. We've got a live album and
Speaker 12: that was a Yeah, there's a live album that came
Speaker 12: out just about fifteen months ago which is called Fox.
Speaker 12: There's a newt which was recorded a pub in Leads
Speaker 12: called the Fox and Newt. And there's also an EP
Speaker 12: with about six or seven songs which the original lineup did.
Speaker 12: So that was before Gail started to sing, and I
Speaker 12: still want to one or two of the songs on
Speaker 12: that that we still do, although differently. But so yeah,
Speaker 12: there's there's a there's a few things on Dead Swan Records.
Speaker 12: If people want to look up Dead Swan Records on
Speaker 12: bang camp they can, but yeah, that's our that's our label.
Speaker 4: So yeah, Now, the songs that you did before Gale
Speaker 4: was was the lead singer, do those songs continue, like
Speaker 4: does Gale sing them in the new or did you
Speaker 4: leave those songs behind.
Speaker 12: Or mostly but there's there are a couple that we do,
Speaker 12: two or three that we've adapted for for Gael and
Speaker 12: and she's put her own stamp on them.
Speaker 11: So yeah, yeah, that's really so yeah.
Speaker 12: So you know, but.
Speaker 13: We are.
Speaker 12: Increasingly going forward with the songs like you've heard on
Speaker 12: the album, like you've just heard with Everybody's on drugs,
Speaker 12: and we're currently in a writing phase of for new
Speaker 12: songs going forward as well.
Speaker 11: Do the songs come quickly?
Speaker 4: I'm curious because there's there's kind of an immediacy to
Speaker 4: the songs, and maybe it's because it's got that sort
Speaker 4: of that DIY garage band vibe, but i mean, do
Speaker 4: the do the songs come together pretty quickly?
Speaker 1: Do you all?
Speaker 4: Do you all kind of write together? Do you all
Speaker 4: gm and stuff together and see what happens? Or what's
Speaker 4: the songwriting process.
Speaker 11: Like in the band?
Speaker 12: Mostly it's part that comes up with the original ideas.
Speaker 12: And he quite often well sort of he's quite prolific
Speaker 12: in what he brings, you know, brings to the table.
Speaker 12: And I'll get sometimes I'll have two or three things
Speaker 12: up here in my in books in a week and
Speaker 12: he says, oh, what do you think to this? And
Speaker 12: what do you think to that? And and then I'll
Speaker 12: have a listen and s suggest you know, different arrangements
Speaker 12: or maybe stick a different you know, put a middle
Speaker 12: eight in here, or we'll change the the intro, or
Speaker 12: we'll we'll you know, do something about it. I mean,
Speaker 12: others we just sit there and say, now they ain't
Speaker 12: gonna work for us. But but but because he comes, Yeah,
Speaker 12: there's so many ideas.
Speaker 11: We work with that.
Speaker 12: And then once the two of us have sort of
Speaker 12: come up with, you know, we've okay those sorts of things,
Speaker 12: we'll then take them, you know, to rehearsal and get
Speaker 12: them going. I've written a couple that were just me
Speaker 12: on the album, but it's mainly part.
Speaker 4: Okay, okay, and then I'm curious too about you know,
Speaker 4: the songs are kind of funny, as some of them are.
Speaker 4: I mean, is that is that an important element to
Speaker 4: you to have in the band, like you know, everybody's
Speaker 4: on drugs? Or there's another song that I'm going to
Speaker 4: play at the end of the segment that is my
Speaker 4: personal favorite from the album because it's as a musician,
Speaker 4: it's very relatable.
Speaker 11: They don't pay support bands, which I absolutely.
Speaker 4: Love that song, you know, and I'm listening to I
Speaker 4: don't play anymore, but I used to play in a
Speaker 4: lot of bands and it's like, yep, I get it.
Speaker 12: Yeah that that that you know that that the lyrics
Speaker 12: to that do come from you know, hard experience.
Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4: Is that it like an important element to you guys
Speaker 4: to have you know, to have some humor and there's
Speaker 4: you know, there's sort of that, right humor in a
Speaker 4: lot of these songs. Is that Is that something you
Speaker 4: do consciously in terms of how you approach it or
Speaker 4: does that just come out organically?
Speaker 12: I think it comes out organically because because that's just
Speaker 12: what we are. But you know, particularly you know, they
Speaker 12: say Pat sort of writes a lot of the lyrics
Speaker 12: and the things that I think it helps to get
Speaker 12: your message across or even just the the meaning of
Speaker 12: the song across if you can also make people smile,
Speaker 12: because that's one of the things that makes things memorable
Speaker 12: apart from just a catchy chorus, is actually something that
Speaker 12: makes you chuckle or makes you think, oh, I wasn't
Speaker 12: expecting that, you know then. And I think that's one
Speaker 12: of the things that gives us a little bit of
Speaker 12: an edge and why people have liked a lot of
Speaker 12: the material. A lot of the songs on the album,
Speaker 12: like you say, have got that little bit of sort
Speaker 12: of sideways look or a little Winke to camera type thing,
Speaker 12: isn't it. So so yeah, we do that, but I
Speaker 12: mean there are others that are out and out, you know,
Speaker 12: not fun not laughs, but you know, we want to
Speaker 12: try and get across, but hopefully it's still enjoyable.
Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, absolutely, but it's not.
Speaker 12: You know, we don't deliberately go out of our way
Speaker 12: to make things sort of comedic, but there's no harm
Speaker 12: in there being a little bit of humor and a
Speaker 12: little bit of a rhinous to it.
Speaker 4: So yeah, I like to use the Sexpert as an
Speaker 4: example of doing that really well, you know, like you know,
Speaker 4: here's this band who you know, they weren't necessarily trying
Speaker 4: to be funny, but you know, you listen to a
Speaker 4: song like God Save the Queen and you can't help
Speaker 4: but laugh, you know what I mean?
Speaker 12: Well, yeah, because there are there are you know, there
Speaker 12: are more than one meaning to elements of the lyrics
Speaker 12: in that so that it makes it memorable because.
Speaker 11: At that right right exactly exactly.
Speaker 12: So you're taking you're taking that well known phrase God
Speaker 12: Save the Queen and or giving it a twist, and
Speaker 12: you know that's always a good thing because somebody's already
Speaker 12: come up with that idea and it's already in people's heads.
Speaker 12: If you're then using it yourself or you're doing like
Speaker 12: everybody's on drugs, you know, that's something that when you
Speaker 12: all automatically think about it, well, everybody's on drugs, must
Speaker 12: mean everyone's on illegal drugs and they're shooting up. Well
Speaker 12: that where it actually means is people are living a
Speaker 12: life where just to keep them going there that you
Speaker 12: know they're being supported by what they're getting from their
Speaker 12: doctors or what they're getting over the counter of the chemist,
Speaker 12: or it could be you know as well as you
Speaker 12: know what they're getting from their dealers on the corner.
Speaker 12: So there's more to the one phrase than just the
Speaker 12: one element.
Speaker 4: Right right, absolutely, And then so what's the touring situation?
Speaker 4: Like you guys playing a lot of shows at the moment,
Speaker 4: we're not. We're currently on a bit of a break.
Speaker 4: Gale just before Christmas underwent a knee replacement operation, so
Speaker 4: she's currently just get sort of starting to properly get
Speaker 4: out on the feet again. So we took we're taking
Speaker 4: some time out and we don't start gigging again until April,
Speaker 4: but we need she needs to, you know, make sure
Speaker 4: that she gets sort of fitting well and is able
Speaker 4: to bounce around on stage again like a good'n so
Speaker 4: that in that time we are sort of writing some
Speaker 4: new songs. We will be starting to rehearse those sort
Speaker 4: of in the next month or so. We you know,
Speaker 4: depending on how she is, we may start to gig
Speaker 4: earlier than that. But we've got quite a good calendar
Speaker 4: of you know, diary for the year.
Speaker 11: Good.
Speaker 12: We're playing the thirtieth anniversary Rebellion Festival in Blackpool, which
Speaker 12: is the big punk festival in the UK. There's an
Speaker 12: awful there's a lot of sort of bands. They've got
Speaker 12: a lot of bands from the States coming over there.
Speaker 12: There's all sorts of people that from all over the
Speaker 12: world coming to that. That is a big, big festival.
Speaker 12: That's over three four days in August. We've got a
Speaker 12: festival in Scotland in May called Punk on the Peninsula,
Speaker 12: which is just outside Glasgow. And we've got you know,
Speaker 12: a nice healthy sort of diary of gigs once we
Speaker 12: do start going again, and we hope during all that
Speaker 12: we will get a good another selection of songs that
Speaker 12: we will have another album maybe before the end of
Speaker 12: the year. You never know, depends on I mean, we
Speaker 12: don't know. A lot of them haven't been road tested yet,
Speaker 12: and sure what we think might work. When you then
Speaker 12: play them in front of people, they sitting there scratching
Speaker 12: their heads and what's going on, or they go absolutely
Speaker 12: bonkers and love it, so right right, Yeah, you have
Speaker 12: to you know, you have to, you know, trust the
Speaker 12: audience and see what's gonna what's gonna work.
Speaker 4: It's great too that you're doing festivals, because you know,
Speaker 4: this comes up a lot on the show. I really
Speaker 4: think that's that's the most valuable thing you can do
Speaker 4: in terms of playing live because you know, festivals, not
Speaker 4: only do you get do you get exposed to an
Speaker 4: audience that might not otherwise see you, but also the
Speaker 4: you know, backstage, just the connections that you can make
Speaker 4: in terms of meeting other industry people, whether it's just
Speaker 4: other bands or or or people who you know you really,
Speaker 4: I mean, the networking opportunity that comes with playing a
Speaker 4: festival is unparalleled, you know what I mean.
Speaker 11: So that's great, Yeah, very much so.
Speaker 12: Yeah, And not only do you make sort of connections
Speaker 12: that are good for the band, you also you know,
Speaker 12: you do make good friends from this because you know
Speaker 12: you're all in it together, and you you realize that
Speaker 12: you know, lots and lots of people are you know,
Speaker 12: they're all good people, and you've got a lot of
Speaker 12: shared experience, and you will automatically get on with a
Speaker 12: lot of people, right, which is very you know, which
Speaker 12: is which is a nice part of doing this sort
Speaker 12: of thing, whereas you know it's it's not just turn up, play,
Speaker 12: pack up, go. You know, you're turning up meeting people
Speaker 12: that you have a good time with and and they're
Speaker 12: but but the festival's definitely the big festivals like Rebellion
Speaker 12: are very good for bands like ourselves for the exposure
Speaker 12: you might be sort of playing the rest of the
Speaker 12: year to you know, much much smaller venues, much much
Speaker 12: sort of smaller crowds. But you're suddenly playing in front
Speaker 12: of ten twenty times the amount of people you normally would.
Speaker 12: And yet you know that can't be bad, No.
Speaker 11: Not at all, not at all.
Speaker 4: So I have saved the Sometimes I go for the
Speaker 4: most obvious question right up front, but I kind of
Speaker 4: saved at this time the name the puncturists. Where does
Speaker 4: that come from? What is the meaning of the name.
Speaker 12: I'm not sure how they came up with it, because
Speaker 12: they got the back the name before I actually started.
Speaker 12: But the Puncturists, the first EP that I mentioned earlier
Speaker 12: was actually called the punk Tourists. Oh so, you know,
Speaker 12: so the punk tourists or puncturists. You know, I'm not
Speaker 12: sure which came first, punk tourists or puncturists, and they
Speaker 12: decided to to put you know, decided to use that.
Speaker 12: But puncturists are also something where you're sort of going
Speaker 12: along and you're sort of puncturing people's you know, ideas,
Speaker 12: you know, coming along and sort of jabbing your needle
Speaker 12: into their balloon.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 12: It's one of those names that's got got lots of
Speaker 12: potential meanings, have different meanings for different people. But it's
Speaker 12: also quite memorable, and you know, it's quite Yeah, that's
Speaker 12: a nice name. Yeah, yeah, No, I like one of
Speaker 12: the hardest I mean, you said you've been in one
Speaker 12: of the hardest things he'd been in a band when
Speaker 12: you first start, is what do you call yourself?
Speaker 11: Oh?
Speaker 12: Yeah, because you'll come up and there'll be some absolutely
Speaker 12: terrible things that people come up with, and and you
Speaker 12: think Oh, that's a good idea until you see it
Speaker 12: either written down or someone else says it, and you think, nah,
Speaker 12: they ain't gonna work.
Speaker 14: Well.
Speaker 4: Well, not only that, the other challenge is finding something
Speaker 4: that that somebody isn't already using.
Speaker 11: You know, yes, and you don't. You don't want to
Speaker 11: find yourself in a position.
Speaker 4: Where you know, you establish a name and you're you know,
Speaker 4: you're you're doing it, and you're you're getting somewhere with it,
Speaker 4: and then all of a sudden you find out you know,
Speaker 4: somebody else already has the name. I've told this story
Speaker 4: on the show. I have a friend, uh the friends.
Speaker 4: Some people will know him, but I'll leave I'll leave
Speaker 4: his name out of it. I don't want to embarrass him.
Speaker 4: But years ago, uh, this individual wasn't a band called
Speaker 4: I ran into him after and I've seen him for
Speaker 4: a while, and he told me about a new band
Speaker 4: that he was in called Intuition, and he said the
Speaker 4: name to me, and I'm thinking, oh, my god, Intuition,
Speaker 4: how many other bands are already using or have used
Speaker 4: that name? And then swear to God true story. I
Speaker 4: ran into him again, like a month later or two
Speaker 4: months later, and I asked him, you know, how's the
Speaker 4: band and he said, oh, good, but we had to
Speaker 4: change our name. We got to cea some assist letter
Speaker 4: from a band already using the name Intuition. And I
Speaker 4: was like, oh, that's too bad, and you know, but
Speaker 4: in my mind, you know, and I'm too polite to
Speaker 4: say it, but in my mind I'm thinking, well, yeah,
Speaker 4: of course you did, you know.
Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean it's like the first bands I was
Speaker 12: in when we were at school. We were sort of
Speaker 12: like really enthusiastic sixteen year olds and we said, right,
Speaker 12: we're going to call ourselves reflex and like the one
Speaker 12: hundred thousand other bands called reflekes.
Speaker 15: No.
Speaker 12: Yeah, but you don't know that. When you yeah, the
Speaker 12: enthusiasm takes over and you think he's a good idea.
Speaker 12: Oh yeah, I don't think there's any of the puncturists.
Speaker 11: Yeah, there you go, there you go.
Speaker 12: Yeah.
Speaker 4: For a second there, I I was worried you were
Speaker 4: gonna tell me I was saying it wrong and that
Speaker 4: it actually is punk tourists and I've been pronouncing it
Speaker 4: wrong this whole time.
Speaker 12: I was, Oh, say it however you like. But no
Speaker 12: puncturists is how we how we say it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, No, I've been learning a lot, you know,
Speaker 4: talking to people from from your part of the world.
Speaker 4: You know, we have we have a lot of guests
Speaker 4: from there on the show, and I love the music
Speaker 4: that comes out of there. But I just learned, uh,
Speaker 4: I just learned yesterday from a friend of mine who's British. Uh,
Speaker 4: you know pants that over I guess over there, Like,
Speaker 4: if you want to express this approval for something, but
Speaker 4: you don't want to swear, you say pants.
Speaker 11: Is that correct? Or she's just messing with me?
Speaker 12: Oh you can no, no, you can do. Oh, that's
Speaker 12: that's complete. Usually it's when something is complete pants, so
Speaker 12: that you complete rubbish or garbage or whatever. Oh, that's
Speaker 12: that's that's total pants, you know. Okay, yeah pants, Pants
Speaker 12: to us aren't trousers. Pants are the underwear.
Speaker 11: So oh okay, right right, yeah that makes sense.
Speaker 12: Yeah, so so he's yeah, he's like, and I mean
Speaker 12: people also say nickers in in the in the UK,
Speaker 12: which again is another word for underwear that I've heard
Speaker 12: that I heard pants. Yeah, something's a bit pants. It's
Speaker 12: not a very strong it's something that's a little bit
Speaker 12: not very good. If it was really bad, then it
Speaker 12: would be worse than pants. There's just a little bit
Speaker 12: Rubbish's a bit pans.
Speaker 11: I've been learning a lot. Yeah, uh now this is great.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: In the first hour, we had a guest. Uh see,
Speaker 4: now I'm going to say his name wrong, car Hall fits.
Speaker 4: It's an Irish name, and I and I but I
Speaker 4: had to look up how to say it. And then
Speaker 4: he told me I was saying it correctly, although he
Speaker 4: might have just been being nice, but you know, because
Speaker 4: it's C A T H A L. And you know,
Speaker 4: and I'm of Irish descent, so I should know, but
Speaker 4: I didn't know. And he said I was saying it right.
Speaker 4: That I guess the tea is silent and it's car Hall.
Speaker 4: But you know, being a being a dude from America,
Speaker 4: you know, I'm learning a lot. Yeah, but so what
Speaker 4: so Gail, So Gil's obviously out of commission temporarily.
Speaker 11: But you said April you're going to get back to playing.
Speaker 11: Yeah we are.
Speaker 12: Yeah, we're first one is towards the end of April,
Speaker 12: and then we're sort of failing NonStop to the end
Speaker 12: of the year. But like I say, if if Gail
Speaker 12: sort of starts to feel a little bit more able
Speaker 12: to sort of stand for you know, while we might
Speaker 12: fix something else in before then, so we may be
Speaker 12: end of March, but you know, we've got to make
Speaker 12: sure that she gets properly better. I mean, it's having
Speaker 12: a knee replacement, isn't isn't a small operation?
Speaker 11: So no, no, jeez, I can imagine.
Speaker 12: Wow.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, Gale, So where's the best place for people
Speaker 4: to go to keep up with everything that the puncture is?
Speaker 4: Everything that you're doing and as far as getting your
Speaker 4: music and everything, you know, you did mention band camp
Speaker 4: and and by the way, I encourage I love band
Speaker 4: camp because that's what a lot of people don't realize
Speaker 4: about band camp is if you get if you get
Speaker 4: your music from there, you're getting a higher quality file
Speaker 4: then say, if you're just streaming it on YouTube or
Speaker 4: you know, and in some cases even Spotify, Like with
Speaker 4: band camp, you're getting you're really the highest quality file
Speaker 4: you can get.
Speaker 12: It's the it is the best quality that you can
Speaker 12: get from a sort of a a streaming or download service. Yeah,
Speaker 12: because you sort of tend to you upload sort of
Speaker 12: wow files and things like that, where as you get
Speaker 12: a more compressed, smaller file on a lot of other
Speaker 12: services and that, you know, it's it just is that
Speaker 12: little bit better. But actually to find us sort of
Speaker 12: keeping up with sort of the new, I mean there
Speaker 12: is a we do have a website, and I shall
Speaker 12: have to make sure I'll tell you the right address
Speaker 12: for that in a minute. But but yeah, I mean
Speaker 12: on Facebook is where you mostly find our sort of
Speaker 12: up to date and where things are change and happening
Speaker 12: and what's going on. Yeah, the website is www. Puncturists
Speaker 12: dot com, not the Puncturists, so it's just puncturists dot com. Okay,
Speaker 12: and yeah, Facebook, if you look at look for the Puncturists,
Speaker 12: you'll find us band camp, we're dead Swan Records, and
Speaker 12: you can find us streaming. We are on Spotify and
Speaker 12: Apple Music and all those sorts of things, YouTube music
Speaker 12: and that. So it's just so you know, people can
Speaker 12: find us all over the place whatever they particularly use nowadays.
Speaker 12: And of course with on band camp you can find
Speaker 12: our you can order the hard copies of things, so
Speaker 12: we do have CDs and whenever we gig then we
Speaker 12: have a merch store where you can buy CDs, t shirts,
Speaker 12: own all sorts of little bits of paraphernalia.
Speaker 4: So yeah, yeah, absolutely, And the website's good too. I'm
Speaker 4: a website nerd and I do like the website puncturists
Speaker 4: dot com. I see I see a lot of bad websites,
Speaker 4: but this is a good, good site. It's well organized,
Speaker 4: the layout's nice. Yeah, that's it's It's so important. I
Speaker 4: don't think people, not everyone realize how important it is
Speaker 4: to have a really you know, easy to navigate, you know,
Speaker 4: visually attractive but not overwhelming website. You know, there's a
Speaker 4: lot of nuance to it. But no, this is a
Speaker 4: this is a good site. So puncturists dot com. Yep, Dale,
Speaker 4: this has been wonderful. I really appreciate you joining us,
Speaker 4: and you know, we'll certainly have you back on as
Speaker 4: you release new music. It sounds like you've got some
Speaker 4: new stuff coming in a moment. We're gonna end the
Speaker 4: conversation with this track. This is my one of my
Speaker 4: favorites from the album They Don't Pay Support Bands.
Speaker 11: I love this song.
Speaker 4: Anything we should know about it before we play it,
Speaker 4: I mean we kind of touched on it already, but
Speaker 4: maybe it's self explanatory, I don't know, But anything we
Speaker 4: should know about this song. I don't know if maybe
Speaker 4: it's maybe it relates to us specific experience that you
Speaker 4: had as a band.
Speaker 12: Or it's well it's not one specific experience, but all
Speaker 12: of the different elements that you can hear that where
Speaker 12: have all happened in one place or another that we
Speaker 12: know where it talks about. You know, the support band
Speaker 12: has to sort of turn up at you know, hours
Speaker 12: before the event, provide the back line, and you know,
Speaker 12: the main band are sort of sort of stroll into town.
Speaker 12: They're getting paid, you know, silly amount of money, and
Speaker 12: the drummer says, and I haven't got me kick, Can
Speaker 12: I use yours? And yeah, all that sort of thing,
Speaker 12: you know. And then you know others where you've got
Speaker 12: promoters who will sort of put you on that right
Speaker 12: You've got to be here and you've got to be
Speaker 12: off in two seconds, you know, otherwise the you know
Speaker 12: you won't you know, never see you ever again. I'll
Speaker 12: make sure you never work in this town sort of thing.
Speaker 15: You know.
Speaker 11: You know, it's just.
Speaker 12: You know, we're fortunate now that a lot of the
Speaker 12: places we play, the promoters are actually sort of considerate
Speaker 12: and they know that the effort that people go to
Speaker 12: and they do look after you. I mean, we don't
Speaker 12: you know, massive amounts of money from it or anything
Speaker 12: like that.
Speaker 1: You don't.
Speaker 12: Yeah, we don't expect to if you are the support band. However,
Speaker 12: support bands who get looked after are more likely to
Speaker 12: say that was a good experience. You know, if you
Speaker 12: get the chance to play for this particular promoter or
Speaker 12: that particular venue, then do it. Likewise, if you have
Speaker 12: a really bad experience, that gets around very quickly to bands,
Speaker 12: and you'll have places wondering why they can't attract bands, right, well,
Speaker 12: we know why they can't. Then here's a song all
Speaker 12: about it sort of.
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly exactly, so we'll hit that track in a moment,
Speaker 4: so we'll let you go. Deale Pharaoh from the Puncturist,
Speaker 4: thank you so much for joining us today and I
Speaker 4: look forward to hearing new music from you, and we'll

Speaker 4: so much much.

Speaker 12: Seeing all right, ye bye sounds good bye bye. All right.
Speaker 4: That is Dale Farrow, bass player from the band The Puncturists,
Speaker 4: And yeah, this is a great track and you know
Speaker 4: a lot of a lot of people in the music
Speaker 4: industry and a lot of bands, a lot of and
Speaker 4: soul artists too, listen to the show. I'm well aware
Speaker 4: of what our sort of core audience is with this program,
Speaker 4: so this will be highly relatable for many of you.
Speaker 4: But this is such a great song. This is called
