We have an entire show of returns today actually, which is cool. But we have two thirds of the band Best not Broken. We have Eric and Carlo here. How are you guys? We're great, A little groggy Super Good is the earliest radio show we've ever done. But is it? I think so? It's got to be right. We don't usually take engagements before noontime.

Well, we're very honored. Wait, you told me it was noon. That's because I was tired. There was another time change exactly, we do an extra one. Now, this is cool. Now this is a fun new location. A what a cool spot. Yeah, it is it is nice? Yeah, thank you, no, thank you for joining us. Yeah. We've been here since what's it been November? I think so November when we moved in here. I can't even remember now it all runs together, yeah, but yeah, yeah, no, we really like it here. It's nice, it's new, everything's very clean.

It's uh, it's quite nice, quite nice. But h and by the way, that track, I love that song, Human Emotion. That's one of the ones we played the last time you guys there, and we'll play some more later in the hour too. But you guys have a big show coming up. We should mention that right off the top, because we do have some tickets to give away. Yeah, that's right, we do, we do. Yeah, So we're gonna be next this coming Friday down at Blue Ocean Music Hall with Barry Goodrow, the original guitarist from the band Boston Yes, and his new band.

I say new band. He's been winning the alt while but Barry Goodrow's Engine Room is the name of the band, and they've got some awesome stuff. But they actually do some Boston tunes as well. So you know, you come to a show like that, you get some new stuff and you get some some classics. It's gonna be a fun one, so we're looking forward to it. That'd be weird if you didn't do some Boston songs. It would make it would be really weird. But I'll tell you what. Boston's not easy to cover, right, I mean, obviously Brad delp is along with not easy to cover some of those tunes.

But the guy, forget the singer's name, I can't remember, but he's been with him for a while and he does a great job and they do some cool stuff. I know that at one point they had Michael Sweet from Stryper singing with him, but I don't think. I don't think that's still the case, is it. I don't. I don't think he's still okay think so Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'd be weird for him not to do some Boston songs. Yeah, I uh, somebody Actually it was poly C from Retrospectrum Radio with poly C, another one of the shows here on w n H. And he texted me and he said he's going to see Colin Hay kidding and uh, And I I asked him, I said, do you think he'll do any men at Work songs?

Because I heard sometimes he doesn't just to be a jerk, which isn't which isn't true. But can you imagine how angry people will be they want to see Colin Hay disappointed and he didn't play you know, down Under or something. I did see Colin Hay, yeah, and I was looking forward to that too, and unfortunately he did it, although I think he waited to the very end, so like, oh, really, is he really going to play it? Oh wow? Oh no kidding. Yeah, they had a bunch of hits men at work, but that's the one everybody remembers.

Yeah, probably the one thing. Probably probably, I'm sure well to play this so many time, Oh my gosh, I'm sure, but I'm sure he does. Of mind the royalty checks, right, yeah, I think you're still getting those. There were some weird stuff going on with that band and the royalties. I think, Oh really, I think you're still getting that happens that unfortunately. Yeah, well yeah, Boston was one of those bands too. Actually, oh yeah, no doubt. So that's gonna be uh yeah, so Jenny and I will be there.

That'll be uh Friday, April fifth, Yeah, yeah, next Friday. I appreciate you guys coming down. Thanks thanks for doing it. Absolutely, and I'm getting dragged to amazing, like all excited. I can't wait. That's great, trying to figure out what I want to wear. Well, you know, Blue Ocean is a cool venue. Have you been to Blue Ocean? Okay, it's really a cool great room. Yeah. Yeah, it's right on the water, so you look out the back windows and literally like you could jump out into the ocean. The first time we played there, Carl, I don't know if you remember, but they brought us to the green room in the back and it was like a really stormy day.

The waves were crashing up against the side and I literally thought like we were gonna was gonna break the windows, we were gonna get was like being in a boat, like you feel like, I don't want to say the Titanic, but it feels like you're in a boat and the waves just smashing up against the side of the building and you're wondering if you're going to live through it. For some vitamin c oh, I hope it's low tide, you can actually you can walk right out ont of the beach and you know, go ten minutes early and check out the beach.

Get there early because and there's a restaurant right next door called it's called Sea Glass, right or fig Glass Sea Glass. You should definitely go there for a drink or something because the view is extraordinary. Really Okay, cool, Wow, we're looking forward to that. We're looking forward to that now id even more now Yeah, yeah, Now is it just you guys and Barry Goodrow's engine rumor is there another opener or just us? It's just two of us Verry? Yeah, excellent, excellent. How did that come about?

Like, uh, do you know Barry Goodrow personally or did somebody reach out to you and offer you the show? Yeah? Basically, so we've we our manager is often looking into these things. Yeah, and I think he reached out. It kind of went through the Live Nation and he reached out to those guys. They decided it would be a good fit. There's some crossover between us and Barry because Barry's kind of played this circuit, oh yeah, in this area for a while. And I think there are some musicians that we've played with that have played with him.

Sure, and so, uh, anyway, they decided it would be a good fit, and uh so we were excited to take it. Yeah, Yeah, outstanding yeah, so that will be That is a Friday, April fifth. So if you'd like tickets, we do have a two pair of tickets to give away. Give us a call live on the air six O three two five six seven six O three two five o six oh seven.

You got you gotta see his uh morning morning uh appearance. I don't know morning the microphone hold him up. Mornings are rough. It's yeah, it's not far from what he looks like after a gig. Actually really kind of my look. It's easy in the chat room. I have to ask you the question. He always loved to ask fans, have you played in Canada?

M Uh, have we played in Canada? No? I don't think we have. No, No, we have not. We've seen bands in Canada. Yeah, but we haven't played in Canada. A good question though, Yes, yeah, he just likes to know if people have gotten to go go to Canada. It's his standard. We haven't done it. I wonder if EASG feels that we're helping him by doing that, or if he feels we're stealing his thunder. He usually likes to have the question asked though. Yeah, but he well, he loves to asking himself unless he just has uh abdicated that authority to us, which he made very well from Canada.

Or no, no, he's from Manchester, isn't he? Yes? Originally? But his last name is Gagnant and that's kind of a French name, right, Yeah. Maybe is the ancestry maybe? Maybe? Yeah, But give a call six O three two five O six o seven if you want to to grab some tickets and we should uh, we should play another song. Uh? He sent me a bunch of them. What what should we play next? I'll let you guys pick. Oh, let's see what did we I'm trying to remember what we sent over. I think we sent uh, I think we sent Oh, you know what?

We're not going to do it, but we can do it now early in the show and I can tell you about it. Cool. Yeah, I was gonna say, I don't remember this one from last time, so this has not been Is this a world radio premiere? It's quite possible, because I don't think anyone's I don't think anyone's picked it up. So deep cut, deep cut? Nice? Yeah, you call it a radio premiere.

I'd say we like the World Radio premieres here, so we'll just assume that it is. Yeah, so this is the World Radio the World Radio premiere Make Belief Celebrity from the band Best Not Broken. And you wanted to tell us or do you want to tell us about it after? Well, well i'll tell you about it after I have to hear it again or remember what it's about. Gotcha? Gotcha for a while? All right?

That is the world radio premiere Make Believe Celebrity. The band is Best Not Broken, And Jenny and I are sitting here with two thirds of Best Not Broken here live in studio. Great track. I love that, Thank you, thank you. Yeah that we released it I think twelve years ago.

No, was the world radio premiere of a song that's twelve years old? Wow? Yeah, No, we just never did anything with it, and I figured that w'd be kind of fun play it live. Not right now, No, because no one really knows it, you know, it's just on it. It's I think it's on our first album that we ever put out, Oh no kidding, And it was just sort of one of those tracks that we put on there. We wanted to do something with it, and then we sort of just moved on. But yeah, at the time, I was just Carlo had me thinking.

There's a guy in the band at the time named Scotty. He's infamous in southern New Hampshire. Scotti Hollywood is his name, and he he had a video planned for this song and literally, this is no joke down at the Manchester the mill here, So we used to practice down the street in one of the in the mill building and he rented a room. He had a bed, right, he bought a bed and he built a round It was like a round bed with these little platforms on the side, and this was this bed was going to be part of the scene for this video and the room was all decked out with different colors and murals on the wall.

We never shot the video, but Scotty probably is still paying for that room over there. But I was waiting for the video to be Wow. I think I'm glad we never shot that video. I think that's probably why I pulled the plug. I was like, this is going the wrong direction. Yeah. Oh wow, wow, so you got But you guys don't currently play that song live. We don't know. I think we've maybe played it once. Yeah, yeah, maybe once. Yeah, I don't know. That's great, very very catchy it is. Yeah, that's a silly one.

It's uh, it was sort of it so we uh, the band was, you know, we sort of started in Manchester and I remember there were a bunch of bands around at the time and none of them really had any chance of making it, but everyone thought we were like the next big thing, right, sure, so this is sort of like, well, even if we don't make it, we can pretend right, right, and these are the things that might happen, right, sort of poking fun at ourselves. Yeah. Yeah, it was a fun tune. It would be a good video.

We just never got to it. Yeah. Yeah, well there's there's still time, still time I dig it. Yeah, thank you. Uh, we've got best not broken here. And we've been talking about the big show coming up on April fifth at Blue Ocean in Uh. Is that in Salisbury, Salisbury, Mass? Salisbury Mass? Yeah? Yeah, Jenny and I are going to be there if you'd like to join us. Of course, we do have two pair of tickets to give away six O three two five six seven six O three two five O six oh seven and you get to see Barry Goudrou's engine room.

Has Have they put out music as Do they have CDs out? Yeah? Yeah, they have? Ye does it if you listen, does it kind of sound like Boston or does it sound different? No, it's got a different sounded. I wouldn't say Boston because the vocals are not. Oh yeah, you know, and certainly the late guitars are different. But yeah, it's it's very listenable. It's very good. Yeah, all right, very good. Yeah, it's it's I would consider it similar to a similar genre to Boston, you know, like some guitar harmony stuff.

Perhaps a little more bluesy, yeah, a little more soulful, but it's it's good, good music. Yeah. Cool, Yeah, I'll have to check that out. And well, of course then we're gonna hear them live on the fifth, So that's very cool. Have you guys been playing out a lot? Have you been doing a lot of shows? Are just kind of we're kind of getting back in the game. So winter is usually a little slow for us and kind of ramping up for the summer season. But we've been we've been doing some cover stuff, you know, and and having some fun and kind of getting ready to launch launch the summer.

Yeah, you got a lot of shows playing for this enough. Yeah, yeah, excellent, Yeah, excellent.

I saw somebody in the building. I was like, there's a I know who it was. But we have a running you know, we talk on retrospect Radio about Paul Paul sees a ghost, but he hasn't seen he hasn't seen the ghosts here in the uh, in the building, in the building that we used to be Buddy, what's that. There's a visitor on the ane. That's a surprise. Wandered in that. Hey, Peter, no owner, just a dog. Yeah, yeah, I think you wanted to say something. He was looking for a bus ticket or a bone or a bone. Yes, Now, in the building that we used to be in.

Polly see, we do a show Friday night, it's called the Retrospectrum Radio and Polly c would see this guy in the building and he called him the Marlborough Man. But he was the only one who would see him. Like I never saw I never saw the guy, and neither did anybody else as far as I know. But Paul used to see this apparition or whatever really in the Yeah, yeah, it's pretty weird. This kind of might have just been a homeless person who got into the building. But sure, but I but I don't know. Yeah, I don't know.

And here we have dogs, yes, yes, apparently we sure it's a real dog and not a ghostyle, it could be. It could be. I did pet it. It felt free. Yes, he just wants everybody to be his friend. This dog is adorable. We have a very loving, loving puppy in the studio. That's distracting me because it's very lovely, and we're all we're all animals. He lost his owner, yea, his owners coming back there, his owners out, the owners adoring him commediately, so he can try and go from human to human for ex right, right, yes, exactly.

They got to make new friends probably, that's that's all right, that's all right. The dog's adorable, gaggy paw. Yeah or she, we don't know. Yeah, I don't if it was a mill or a female, I didn't know, right, right, that was adorable, very cool, six O three two, five, O six, o seven, if you want to win some tickets, or or if you just have a question or anything at all for the band. We've got best not broken here with us. Now, what's what's the current situation as far as releasing new music. Do you guys have anything new you've been working on.

Well, we've been talking about it a little bit. We're kind of putting our twenty twenty four recording play together right now, but we have we have an album and a half of material that's in the kitty and almost ready to go. A number of older tunes that some of them are sort of partially recorded, we just haven't finished them yet. Yeah, we got to get in to get those done. And then I've got a bunch of newer ish stuff that's it's ready to go, So we got to get that polished up and get into the studio.

So we're trying to figure out how and where to do that and see if we can get out as soon as we can. It's going to be a busy summer. Yeah, yeah, good. When you do record, are're going to be recording Where did you record the material that we have for it on the show? Where where did you record that. So most of it has been recorded at Wooly Mammoth Sound down in Walltham with Dave Minihan. Oh right, right, right, remember we talked about that, Yeah, and this, so the most recent album was recorded at Woolly Mammoth with Dave and then he did some pre engineering and it came up here to Matt Blanchette, who's a Manchester guy.

Yes, I've interviewed Matt. Yeah. Yeah, and he's got Revelry Studio and he's got his own little thing going on and he's a he's a great guy. So yeah, he did kind of the final editing and production with us and on the last batch of tunes. But the make Believe Celebrity that you heard was all Dave. That was you know, ten plus years ago and that was all Dave wille Mammoth. So yeah, we'll see. I mean, technology is changing, which has allowed us to change the way we record, and uh, you know it's interesting because it's you'd think you'd think that it would allow people to do more home recording, and it has, right, So a lot of these albums that here, a lot of the stuff is being done in home studios, mixed somewhere else.

But Dave down at Woolly seems to be getting busier, right, So yeah, we're just trying to figure out what's the most efficient way for us to do it right, right. It's often a mix of things. Yeah, no doubt, Well we should play another track. What should we play next? I don't know if you remember what you sent me, but oh, you know what I actually how about that's the way she likes it? Sure, because I remember we played that one last time you were here, and everybody was like really liking that one a lot very I think this was this might have been new the last time you guys were hearing it, Okay, okay, yeah, and then I think I think I I remember now it's coming back to me.

I said something to you guys about that's you've got to that's a hit song just waiting to happen. Thank you. I think we did. We have a few edits to make really well in listening to it. I don't know. We'll listen to it now, we think, all right, yeah, we'll comment on the fly. Well, we'll hear it again now. And it's sure too. It's only like it's only three minutes and twenty one seconds h which is perfect for a for a single. Sure it's exactly yeah, yeah, all right, so this is that's the way she likes it.

The band is best not broken. Check this out. It's quartered ten and we torn off the bed. It's Saturday morning with Friday Champagne turning alarm off, talking the movies. She wants to see Dirty Dan's and again everyone knows she shine

on my imagine. She don't even know series me walk By Blushes is fast. Tomorrow is just the same. It's a party somewhere down the tempt roof deck, dancing in the wind. She calls me amazing. She gives me herr. I'm thinking it's calm and the dreams of musians and our moms. Fallow knows she shine like as showing a host of fast and they shine a fast away. She say, she don't even know the name, just sees me walk Blushes. It's her tomorrow. It is just the same, the same for some day. But they'll know what you're saying.

A word, I say anything, she says, because she's really too nuts together make us.

Maybe she doesn't last is the blush, and maybe I'm rushing the song. She's perfectly placed in the imagination. Maybe it's where she been. That's way show name say, solid side perfect everywhere. That's the way she likes it. She don't even know the name. She sees me a by blushes turn. It's just m that is really good. That's the way she Yeah, that's the way she likes it. Thank you. The band is Best Not Broken. We have two members of Best Not Broken here with us live in studio on this Saturday morning.

Here it's Matt Connorton Unleashed and we are live from the studios of w m n H ninety five point three FM in Manchester, New Hampshire. Blustery it was? It was it still windy when you guys are super wind Yeah, yeah, yeah, very uh, very blustery day. Yes, yes it is. Yes indeed, I'm sure we talked about all this before. But for people who didn't hear your your previous appearance, what's the process like in terms of songwriting in the band. Do you guys all write together or how does that work? Uh?

You know, I think it's sort of song by song there are many that uh well, Carlos starts every song really yeah, with the drums, right, I start with the drums and then I delete the bridge and then and then we've got to hit this is sounding familiar? Yeah yeah, yeah, sou but seriously, So, you know, I kind of started as sort of a singer songwriter kind of you know, the acoustic guitar, and that's how a lot of my tunes start. So and Mark, who does some writing as well, same kind of deal. So we'll we'll come up with sort of the core of the tune and then at some point we bring it into the band and everyone sort of does their thing, and sometimes it's really early and the whole thing is more of a combined effort, and sometimes it just so happens that it's almost and when we get it in, it's like, let's just fill in the pieces.

But that that song had been around for a really long long time. That's the way she likes it, and I always kind of wanted to do it. Yeah, you know, the band, the sound of the band has evolved a bit over the years, and it sort of felt like now is the It was sort of a now or never in terms of getting it in. And also, you know, I think the sound of the band has evolved a little bit. You know, when we started off, it was it was in the days of like you know, where Green Day was still having hits like well their later albums.

Yeah, yeah, and so like you know, it was a little rockier and we've become more diverse, I think, and so it felt like a good time to bring that tune in. But uh yeah, so that's they often start that way and then then we get together as a band and we sort of polish them up. And truth be told, Carlo always cuts something and you know itsists on something in the beginning of the end and cuts the bridge down or writes the bridge. Well. You know, there's a lot of ideas in a song though, you know when you when you first start out creating a piece of music, there's a lot of things that get thrown at you and not being you know, if Eric's coming up with the with the vibe of what the song is like, you know, he's got a lot of things in his head about how he feels it should sound.

And then it's kind of nice sometimes you get a fresh look at it because you know you're just seeing so many things. But to be able to take out a few pieces, you know, the whole lesson is more. Yeah, sometimes sometimes not all, but sometimes can make a difference in the tune, and so it becomes very collaborative, you know, at that point, and then you put a little frosting on it. The next thing, you know, you get a song. Yeah, I mean that song in particular, as I recall, for a while had a very different groove to it actually really yeah, And I don't know exactly when it happened, but at some point in time we tried a different a different feeling toward it.

And that's what you that's what you just heard on the record. Yeah. Actually, I think I think in the studio we played it two ways. I think Dave had us play it two ways. That sounds familiar, and that we think it was the new way that I don't know if we'd actually ever done it that way before, except but it's now obviously sounds like the way it should be done, right, that's right in the studio. But yeah, yeah, but it evolved for sure. Okay, Okay, very cool? Uh? Should we Yeah? We have time? Why don't we want to play another one?

Well, let's see what should we play? I had the last one. I said you guys could pick, and then I ended up picking it because I was like, wait, a minute. No, we have to hear that one again. What should we? Uh? We got low Lights, We've got I don't belong what you do low Lights. That's a little different, little diddy. That one's a little a little darker, isn't it? If I remember? Yeah, I guess you could look at it that way. I mean, you know, yeah, yeah, that's a contrast. Mark sings that one has a little bit of a different vibe, a little more of a Spanish Southern feel to it.

It's kind of a unique little snippet in our set. So right right, all right, check this out. This is low Lights and the band is best not broken.

Honey, your voice gets a load of mom you drink a little more. This s your ch what a lot of people saying that you dropped the team been. I won't k you, but I'm saying that you do. In find out who knows the true In the night time, my man was like, let it get a little crazy, and so in the nighttime in the lower in the mean time, man's nostalgia A man, I think it's about chick in a lot like that's a feel for another one. Let's get spun and then it intiest you want another. Now, a lot of people don't have the same aggression.

They're not like you. They're not saying a ship, You're not what you canna tell you. Okay, let's get gone in the night time. If my beal's like, let it get a little crazy, and so in the nighttime, in the low in the man nostalgia, a man of thinking in the nighttimes. Right, let it get a little crazy inside in the nighttime in the low light. That is catchy as hell. That is low lights. The band is Best Not Broken, and we have two thirds of Best Not Broken here with us live in studio. That is such a great song.

Yeah, I remember that one from Last time fun We like it? Yeah, yeah, really really good. Hey, I want to say hi to some people in the Facebook live chat, starting with Jay Bellow of course from the band Chasing the Devil and Jason on the show with the band, and by the way, they've they're working on they've got something new come in. Hint, hint, But I won't say any more than that, uh until until we know exactly when you know. I did mention earlier though we liked the World Radio premieres around here, so I'm hinting.

But Jay says in the chat, I have to say it again, thank you guys for giving local music a platform to be heard. Awesome tunes. Guys. All right, so you've got a fan in Jay. Thank you, Jay. Thanks Jane absolutely. Jay fed joins us from the great state of Vermont and says good morning everyone. Michael Albert says good morning.

Uh, And if it doesn't happen the first hour, you know, we'll keep that open till the end of the show because you know we've got we're on till noon. But these guys are only with us for a little bit of time left. So if you have any questions or anything for best not Broken, be sure to go ahead and call in six O three two five six oh seven six O three two five six oh seven. But you can also grab a pair of tickets because uh, they are going to be performing live April fifth at Blue Ocean in Salisbury, mass and Jenny and I are going to be there as well.

And of course you guys are opening for Barry Goodrow's engine Room and uh looking forward to really looking forward to that. That's gonna be a that's gonna be a cool night. Who else have you guys played with? Who's uh like? Is is there anyone who really stands out bands that you've shared the stage with? Yeah? Sure, Carl, what do you think? Well, you know what just came Actually at this same venue we did a show with what are you thinking? Uh, the one with the uh Jefferson Starship start, the other one, the recent one.

Who oh? The guests who yeah? Who oh? You guys played with them? Yeah, yeah, And you know what was interesting was I mean they're a little it'll be kind they're a little older than us, but but there you forget how much music they have. Yeah, their music is iconic. Oh yeah, Like it defined an entire generation and it was really wild to see them play that live. I mean it was yeah, that was that to me, that was a you know, I don't want to say it was like hearing the Beatles, but you know it was damn close.

I mean it was. They've got some really big, big songs that really lasted. Well that was the sixties, right, Yeah, sixties or early seventies. Well, I know what you mean though, because they're a band that they've got some some big hits that you probably most people probably don't realize who it is really. You know, they hear that, they hear the songs, and they know the songs. But if you were to ask them, you know, if you were to say, you know, guess who that artist is and they be like, you know, you could make a whole uh sort of who's on first?

Uh? That was That was a fun show we we actually did. We did that one a little differently too. We didn't do like a half acoustic kind of thing. Yeah, was I acoustic, which was cool. So I had a different different feel to it. So it was kind of it was kind of fun, but well, you know, speaking of Blue Ocean. The other one, we did a Blue Oshan which was recently just fun and we might have mentioned this when we're here, but we played with Kevin Bacon and the Bacon Brothers, and that was like a full acoustic show because Kevin's more, he's got a he's a pretty It's kind of an eclectic mix of like you know, country jazz, folks, blue grass, like the whole you know, a little bit of rock, but just like all over the map and they so we were sort of trying to be kind of in the in the same genre.

So we were mostly acoustic. Yeah, and some of the unfortunately some of our tunes translate pretty well acoustic. But that was a fun one too. And and the thing that stood out to me though was the security. It's amazing. You know. You think you go to a rock and roll show or a music show and security is usually pretty tight. But you get a movie star right and right us like you can't like, you know, they're tight here with the coffee. I mean, it couldn't go like five feet down the hallway and they're giving us a hard time.

Yeah, we did give him a bottle of wine, which he was very appreciative, but we couldn't hand it to him personally. Oh that's it went through the people, right through the people. But he gave us a nice shout out. And that was a fun show too. That's an interesting dynamic when you've got a band like that. That's you know, they're not like the Bacon Brothers as an entity, is not like uh, you know, an arena act, you know what I mean. But on the other hand, one of the guys happens to be an A list celebrity, so that's interesting.

Yeah, how does his brother feel? I know, well, you know, his brother knows that they're getting gigs, right exactly. Yeah, his brother is probably just fine with it, you know what I mean. I mean, it's amazing to it because I think they sold out. It's amazing they sold out. It was they actually put on a good show that they had a list musicians. I mean, the cats that were playing with them were top notch and they did a great job too. And of course you know what you're waiting for when you're seeing the Bacon brothers, and sure enough, you know, for the encore, I mean that was that was the tune that they did Footloose.

So yeah, which was I gotta say, you know, having seen the movie, right, pretty iconic to see Kevin Bacon singing Footloose on stage. Did he dance a little bit? Maybe? I think he did a little bitte up there because he's gonna go back to the high school that was filmed in I can go to their last prom. He's going for their last prom. I think it's awesome, right, Yeah, he seems like a really good. Yeah, he seems human. He does exactly, and he stays pretty active on social media too. He's I think he's doing regular, regular posts and sort of like a glimpse of hit into the real life of Kevin Bacon.

His wife's a movie stars. Yeah, they both. I can't remember who's he married to. Oh okay, yeah, okay, yeah, I forgot about that. Wow. Well, yeah, I've heard that they're u that the Bacon Brothers are really good live. Who else, if any anybody else you guys have played with the really stands out well, I always you know, our first big show was with Pat Benattar. We did a couple of shows with her, I think. Yeah. We did a string of shows with the Gin Blossoms, which was cool. Yeah. Vertical Horizon Yeah yeah, yeah, that's really good.

That that massive from the movie? What is that song You're a God? Yeah? Oh no, no, which was that was? That was our follow up hit which wasn't as big. That was a really big one. Yeah. I can't remember that name. Oh He's Everything you want? Well yeah, yeah, yeah that was Yeah. I couldn't get away from the long I didn't know that really. Yeah. Yeah. England has a nice amount of musicians. Oh yeah, we have a lot of great stuff that comes out of New England. Absolutely, I'm a little biased. Yeah we all are.

Yeah, we are know that the scene is incredible. Absolutely. Well, let's let's sneak in one more I'd like to get in one more song. Sure what, I think there's probably one left that we haven't played. Yep, I think it's I don't belong. I don't belong. I can't wait till next week to go see you guys live. This is gonna be so much fun. Yeah, and if you want to come with us, we've got a pair of tickets that we're giving away for next Friday.

I play bass, but I'm tapping. I can't help it. That's how catchy it is. That's good. We got a backup when Carlos out there, we got to know. There you go. H So we've got two thirds of Best Not Broken here with us live in studio, and we've been talking about, Oh, we should talk about the video. You guys were saying, there's a great video for that song.

It's a video. I don't know about great, but it's uh, let's just say it's entertaining. Yeah, what your mom think of it? My mom was embarrassed, I think to be my mom. Oh no, well, the good news is you couldn't actually tell that it was you. Right, That's that is true. Without giving too much away, that is mostly true. I'm sure your mom knew and perhaps other yeah, well, being fallically challenged. The outfit in this particular video was oh boy supportive, so I guess without giving away we so we actually speaking of high schools, we shot it at a local high school.

Oh cool, and we there was a story written for this video which kind of followed the song, and we came up with a plan to shoot this video and we just missed it. We had to do one slice of it live in a different, different venue, but most of it was shot in the day in a high school with a cast, and it was It was a lot of fun shooting it, and we got pretty close to what we wanted. It turned out to be very entertaining. Nobody got hurt. No one got hurt. That's what counts. That's that's the important thing.

Very very good. Well we've been talking about of course, these guys are going to be live on Friday, April five at Blue Ocean Is it Blue Ocean Music Hall? Is Yes, that's the one, gotcha? Gotcha? I want to make sure I get the full name and got to respect the venue in Salisbury, mass And these guys are opening for Barry Goudreau's engine Room. And if the name Barry Gudrou is familiar, but you're not quite sure, of course, from the band Boston. And so Jenny and I are going to be there for that and you can join us too.

Yeah, so that'll actually be an April storm. Wow, the only time. Well, I remember when I was a kid. I wonder if we're thinking about the same storm. If we are, it was actually April sack, but people remember it as April first because it's easy to remember it as April. But I remember it was actually April second. If we're thinking about the same storm, maybe there was a because when I remember when I was a kid, there was a massive blizzard on April second. No, No, it wasn't when you were a kid, because I was a grown adult year older than I'm thinking of when I was when I was a kid.

I just remember growing up there was one year where we had a massive they had It was April second, and we had this like massive blizzard. It was like the biggest storm of the winter on April second. It was weird. No, I was working in a nursing home and I was excited because I could actually get home because I had a Oh god, what was I I can't think of Subaru. It was Subaru. It was the ugliest Subaru ever. It had fake wood paneling. Those are the best kind. But boy, that baby got me home. All right, that's good, that's good.

Oh no, I was an adult. Yeah, okay, all right, all right. There must have been two storms. Yeah, yeah in April, two April storms. Well, you know, Prince has a song called sometimes it Snows in April. Uh huh, which probably most people. What is that on Haisley Park? I think maybe I don't know. I don't know that. I remember that. I'm going to check it out. Yeah it's it's I mean, obviously it was never a hit single, but yeah, sometimes it snows in April. Yeah, but uh no, so we're really looking forward to that.
