11:16 We have Eric and Carlo here. How are you guys? We're great,

11:20 A little groggy Super Good is the earliest radio show we've ever done. But

11:26 is it? I think so? It's got to be right. We don't

11:30 usually take engagements before noontime. Well, we're very honored. Wait, you

11:43 Now this is a fun new location. A what a cool spot.

11:46 Yeah, it is it is nice? Yeah, thank you, no,

11:48 thank you for joining us. Yeah. We've been here since what's it been

11:52 November? I think so November when we moved in here. I can't even

11:56 remember now it all runs together, yeah, but yeah, yeah, no,

11:58 we really like it here. It's nice, it's new, everything's very

12:01 clean. It's uh, it's quite nice, quite nice. But h and

12:05 by the way, that track, I love that song, Human Emotion.

12:07 That's one of the ones we played the last time you guys there, and

12:11 we'll play some more later in the hour too. But you guys have a

12:13 big show coming up. We should mention that right off the top, because

12:16 we do have some tickets to give away. Yeah, that's right, we

12:18 do, we do. Yeah, So we're gonna be next this coming Friday

12:22 down at Blue Ocean Music Hall with Barry Goodrow, the original guitarist from the

12:28 band Boston Yes, and his new band. I say new band. He's

12:31 been winning the alt while but Barry Goodrow's Engine Room is the name of the

12:35 band, and they've got some awesome stuff. But they actually do some Boston

12:37 tunes as well. So you know, you come to a show like that,

12:41 you get some new stuff and you get some some classics. It's gonna

12:45 be a fun one, so we're looking forward to it. That'd be weird

12:46 if you didn't do some Boston songs. It would make it would be really

12:50 weird. But I'll tell you what. Boston's not easy to cover, right,

12:52 I mean, obviously Brad delp is along with not easy to cover some

12:56 of those tunes. But the guy, forget the singer's name, I can't

12:58 remember, but he's been with him for a while and he does a great

13:01 job and they do some cool stuff. I know that at one point they

13:03 had Michael Sweet from Stryper singing with him, but I don't think. I

13:07 don't think that's still the case, is it. I don't. I don't

13:09 think he's still okay think so Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'd be weird

13:13 for him not to do some Boston songs. Yeah, I uh, somebody

13:16 Actually it was poly C from Retrospectrum Radio with poly C, another one of

13:20 the shows here on w n H. And he texted me and he said

13:22 he's going to see Colin Hay kidding and uh, And I I asked him,

13:28 I said, do you think he'll do any men at Work songs?

13:30 Because I heard sometimes he doesn't just to be a jerk, which isn't which

13:33 isn't true. But can you imagine how angry people will be they want to

13:35 see Colin Hay disappointed and he didn't play you know, down Under or something.

13:39 I did see Colin Hay, yeah, and I was looking forward to

13:41 that too, and unfortunately he did it, although I think he waited to

13:45 the very end, so like, oh, really, is he really going

13:46 to play it? Oh wow? Oh no kidding. Yeah, they had

13:48 a bunch of hits men at work, but that's the one everybody remembers.

13:52 Yeah, probably the one thing. Probably probably, I'm sure well to play

13:56 this so many time, Oh my gosh, I'm sure, but I'm sure

13:58 he does. Of mind the royalty checks, right, yeah, I think

14:01 you're still getting those. There were some weird stuff going on with that band

14:05 and the royalties. I think, Oh really, I think you're still getting

14:07 that happens that unfortunately. Yeah, well yeah, Boston was one of those

14:11 bands too. Actually, oh yeah, no doubt. So that's gonna be

14:16 uh yeah, so Jenny and I will be there. That'll be uh Friday,

14:18 April fifth, Yeah, yeah, next Friday. I appreciate you guys

14:22 coming down. Thanks thanks for doing it. Absolutely, and I'm getting dragged

14:26 to amazing, like all excited. I can't wait. That's great, trying

14:31 to figure out what I want to wear. Well, you know, Blue

14:33 Ocean is a cool venue. Have you been to Blue Ocean? Okay,

14:37 it's really a cool great room. Yeah. Yeah, it's right on the

14:39 water, so you look out the back windows and literally like you could jump

14:43 out into the ocean. The first time we played there, Carl, I

14:46 don't know if you remember, but they brought us to the green room in

14:48 the back and it was like a really stormy day. The waves were crashing

14:50 up against the side and I literally thought like we were gonna was gonna break

14:54 the windows, we were gonna get was like being in a boat, like

14:56 you feel like, I don't want to say the Titanic, but it feels

15:00 like you're in a boat and the waves just smashing up against the side of

15:03 the building and you're wondering if you're going to live through it. For some

15:05 vitamin c oh, I hope it's low tide, you can actually you can

15:11 walk right out ont of the beach and you know, go ten minutes early

15:13 and check out the beach. Get there early because and there's a restaurant right

15:46 Basically, so we've we our manager is often looking into these things.

15:52 Yeah, and I think he reached out. It kind of went through the

15:56 Live Nation and he reached out to those guys. They decided it would be

16:00 a good fit. There's some crossover between us and Barry because Barry's kind of

16:06 played this circuit, oh yeah, in this area for a while. And

16:10 I think there are some musicians that we've played with that have played with him.

16:12 Sure, and so, uh, anyway, they decided it would be

18:04 No, we have not. We've seen bands in Canada. Yeah, but

18:12 he just likes to know if people have gotten to go go to Canada.

18:17 It's his standard. We haven't done it. I wonder if EASG feels that

18:21 we're helping him by doing that, or if he feels we're stealing his thunder.

18:23 He usually likes to have the question asked though. Yeah, but he

18:26 well, he loves to asking himself unless he just has uh abdicated that authority

18:32 to us, which he made very well from Canada. Or no, no,

18:36 he's from Manchester, isn't he? Yes? Originally? But his last

18:40 name is Gagnant and that's kind of a French name, right, Yeah.

19:18 I don't remember this one from last time, so this has not been

19:21 Is this a world radio premiere? It's quite possible, because I don't think

19:23 anyone's I don't think anyone's picked it up. So deep cut, deep cut?

19:27 Nice? Yeah, you call it a radio premiere. I'd say we

19:30 like the World Radio premieres here, so we'll just assume that it is.

23:18 Great track. I love that, Thank you, thank you. Yeah

23:21 that we released it I think twelve years ago. No, was the world

23:25 radio premiere of a song that's twelve years old? Wow? Yeah, No,

23:27 we just never did anything with it, and I figured that w'd be

23:30 kind of fun play it live. Not right now, No, because no

23:33 one really knows it, you know, it's just on it. It's I

23:36 think it's on our first album that we ever put out, Oh no kidding,

23:38 And it was just sort of one of those tracks that we put on

23:41 there. We wanted to do something with it, and then we sort of

23:44 just moved on. But yeah, at the time, I was just Carlo

23:48 had me thinking. There's a guy in the band at the time named Scotty.

23:51 He's infamous in southern New Hampshire. Scotti Hollywood is his name, and

23:56 he he had a video planned for this song and literally, this is no

24:00 joke down at the Manchester the mill here, So we used to practice down

24:03 the street in one of the in the mill building and he rented a room.

24:08 He had a bed, right, he bought a bed and he built

24:11 a round It was like a round bed with these little platforms on the side,

24:15 and this was this bed was going to be part of the scene for

24:18 this video and the room was all decked out with different colors and murals on

24:22 the wall. We never shot the video, but Scotty probably is still paying

24:26 for that room over there. But I was waiting for the video to be

24:29 Wow. I think I'm glad we never shot that video. I think that's

24:32 probably why I pulled the plug. I was like, this is going the

24:33 wrong direction. Yeah. Oh wow, wow, so you got But you

24:37 guys don't currently play that song live. We don't know. I think we've

24:41 maybe played it once. Yeah, yeah, maybe once. Yeah, I

24:44 don't know. That's great, very very catchy it is. Yeah, that's

24:48 a silly one. It's uh, it was sort of it so we uh,

24:52 the band was, you know, we sort of started in Manchester and

24:56 I remember there were a bunch of bands around at the time and none of

25:02 them really had any chance of making it, but everyone thought we were like

25:04 the next big thing, right, sure, so this is sort of like,

25:07 well, even if we don't make it, we can pretend right,

25:10 right, and these are the things that might happen, right, sort of

25:12 poking fun at ourselves. Yeah. Yeah, it was a fun tune.

25:15 It would be a good video. We just never got to it. Yeah.

25:18 Yeah, well there's there's still time, still time I dig it.

25:21 Yeah, thank you. Uh, we've got best not broken here. And

25:23 we've been talking about the big show coming up on April fifth at Blue Ocean

25:27 in Uh. Is that in Salisbury, Salisbury, Mass? Salisbury Mass?

25:44 they put out music as Do they have CDs out? Yeah? Yeah,

25:48 they have? Ye does it if you listen, does it kind of sound

25:52 like Boston or does it sound different? No, it's got a different sounded.

25:55 I wouldn't say Boston because the vocals are not. Oh yeah, you

25:57 know, and certainly the late guitars are different. But yeah, it's it's

26:02 very listenable. It's very good. Yeah, all right, very good.

26:03 Yeah, it's it's I would consider it similar to a similar genre to Boston,

26:07 you know, like some guitar harmony stuff. Perhaps a little more bluesy,

26:12 yeah, a little more soulful, but it's it's good, good music.

26:17 Yeah. Cool, Yeah, I'll have to check that out. And

26:18 well, of course then we're gonna hear them live on the fifth, So

29:11 Well, we've been talking about it a little bit. We're kind of putting

29:12 our twenty twenty four recording play together right now, but we have we have

29:18 an album and a half of material that's in the kitty and almost ready to

29:22 go. A number of older tunes that some of them are sort of partially

29:26 recorded, we just haven't finished them yet. Yeah, we got to get

29:30 in to get those done. And then I've got a bunch of newer ish

29:33 stuff that's it's ready to go, So we got to get that polished up

29:37 and get into the studio. So we're trying to figure out how and where

29:41 to do that and see if we can get out as soon as we can.

29:42 It's going to be a busy summer. Yeah, yeah, good.

29:45 When you do record, are're going to be recording Where did you record the

29:48 material that we have for it on the show? Where where did you record

29:52 that. So most of it has been recorded at Wooly Mammoth Sound down in

29:56 Walltham with Dave Minihan. Oh right, right, right, remember we talked

30:00 about that, Yeah, and this, so the most recent album was recorded

30:06 at Woolly Mammoth with Dave and then he did some pre engineering and it came

30:10 up here to Matt Blanchette, who's a Manchester guy. Yes, I've interviewed

30:18 Matt. Yeah. Yeah, and he's got Revelry Studio and he's got his

30:21 own little thing going on and he's a he's a great guy. So yeah,

30:23 he did kind of the final editing and production with us and on the

30:26 last batch of tunes. But the make Believe Celebrity that you heard was all

30:30 Dave. That was you know, ten plus years ago and that was all

30:33 Dave wille Mammoth. So yeah, we'll see. I mean, technology is

30:38 changing, which has allowed us to change the way we record, and uh,

30:42 you know it's interesting because it's you'd think you'd think that it would allow

30:49 people to do more home recording, and it has, right, So a

30:52 lot of these albums that here, a lot of the stuff is being done

30:53 in home studios, mixed somewhere else. But Dave down at Woolly seems to

30:59 be getting busier, right, So yeah, we're just trying to figure out

31:02 what's the most efficient way for us to do it right, right. It's

31:04 often a mix of things. Yeah, no doubt, Well we should play

31:08 another track. What should we play next? I don't know if you remember

31:12 what you sent me, but oh, you know what I actually how about

31:17 that's the way she likes it? Sure, because I remember we played that

31:21 one last time you were here, and everybody was like really liking that one

31:26 a lot very I think this was this might have been new the last time

31:30 you guys were hearing it, Okay, okay, yeah, and then I

31:34 think I think I I remember now it's coming back to me. I said

31:37 something to you guys about that's you've got to that's a hit song just waiting

31:42 to happen. Thank you. I think we did. We have a few

31:47 edits to make really well in listening to it. I don't know. We'll

31:51 listen to it now, we think, all right, yeah, we'll comment

31:52 on the fly. Well, we'll hear it again now. And it's sure

31:56 too. It's only like it's only three minutes and twenty one seconds h which

31:59 is perfect for a for a single. Sure it's exactly yeah, yeah,

32:02 all right, so this is that's the way she likes it. The band

32:07 is best not broken. Check this out. It's quartered ten and we torn

32:30 off the bed. It's Saturday morning with Friday Champagne turning alarm off, talking

32:38 the movies. She wants to see Dirty Dan's and again everyone knows she shine

32:50 on my imagine. She don't even know series me walk By Blushes is fast.

33:05 Tomorrow is just the same. It's a party somewhere down the tempt roof

33:12 deck, dancing in the wind. She calls me amazing. She gives me

33:17 herr. I'm thinking it's calm and the dreams of musians and our moms.

33:24 Fallow knows she shine like as showing a host of fast and they shine a

33:35 fast away. She say, she don't even know the name, just sees

33:43 me walk Blushes. It's her tomorrow. It is just the same, the

33:52 same for some day. But they'll know what you're saying. A word,

33:58 I say anything, she says, because she's really too nuts together make us.

34:09 Maybe she doesn't last is the blush, and maybe I'm rushing the song.

34:17 She's perfectly placed in the imagination. Maybe it's where she been. That's

34:30 way show name say, solid side perfect everywhere. That's the way she likes

34:49 it. She don't even know the name. She sees me a by blushes

34:58 turn. It's just m that is really good. That's the way she Yeah,

35:30 that's the way she likes it. Thank you. The band is Best

35:34 Not Broken. We have two members of Best Not Broken here with us live

35:37 in studio on this Saturday morning. Here it's Matt Connorton Unleashed and we are

35:40 live from the studios of w m n H ninety five point three FM in

35:45 Manchester, New Hampshire. Blustery it was? It was it still windy when

35:50 you guys are super wind Yeah, yeah, yeah, very uh, very

35:52 blustery day. Yes, yes it is. Yes indeed, I'm sure we

36:02 talked about all this before. But for people who didn't hear your your previous

36:06 appearance, what's the process like in terms of songwriting in the band. Do

36:09 you guys all write together or how does that work? Uh? You know,

36:15 I think it's sort of song by song there are many that uh well,

36:21 Carlos starts every song really yeah, with the drums, right, I

36:24 start with the drums and then I delete the bridge and then and then we've

36:30 got to hit this is sounding familiar? Yeah yeah, yeah, sou but

36:36 seriously, So, you know, I kind of started as sort of a

36:38 singer songwriter kind of you know, the acoustic guitar, and that's how a

36:42 lot of my tunes start. So and Mark, who does some writing as

36:45 well, same kind of deal. So we'll we'll come up with sort of

36:47 the core of the tune and then at some point we bring it into the

36:51 band and everyone sort of does their thing, and sometimes it's really early and

36:53 the whole thing is more of a combined effort, and sometimes it just so

36:58 happens that it's almost and when we get it in, it's like, let's

37:00 just fill in the pieces. But that that song had been around for a

37:05 really long long time. That's the way she likes it, and I always

37:07 kind of wanted to do it. Yeah, you know, the band,

37:09 the sound of the band has evolved a bit over the years, and it

37:12 sort of felt like now is the It was sort of a now or never

37:14 in terms of getting it in. And also, you know, I think

37:16 the sound of the band has evolved a little bit. You know, when

37:19 we started off, it was it was in the days of like you know,

37:23 where Green Day was still having hits like well their later albums. Yeah,

37:29 yeah, and so like you know, it was a little rockier and

37:32 we've become more diverse, I think, and so it felt like a good

37:36 time to bring that tune in. But uh yeah, so that's they often

37:37 start that way and then then we get together as a band and we sort

37:40 of polish them up. And truth be told, Carlo always cuts something and

37:45 you know itsists on something in the beginning of the end and cuts the bridge

37:49 down or writes the bridge. Well. You know, there's a lot of

37:51 ideas in a song though, you know when you when you first start out

37:53 creating a piece of music, there's a lot of things that get thrown at

37:58 you and not being you know, if Eric's coming up with the with the

38:04 vibe of what the song is like, you know, he's got a lot

38:06 of things in his head about how he feels it should sound. And then

38:09 it's kind of nice sometimes you get a fresh look at it because you know

38:14 you're just seeing so many things. But to be able to take out a

38:17 few pieces, you know, the whole lesson is more. Yeah, sometimes

38:21 sometimes not all, but sometimes can make a difference in the tune, and

38:23 so it becomes very collaborative, you know, at that point, and then

38:28 you put a little frosting on it. The next thing, you know,

38:30 you get a song. Yeah, I mean that song in particular, as

38:32 I recall, for a while had a very different groove to it actually really

38:37 yeah, And I don't know exactly when it happened, but at some point

38:42 in time we tried a different a different feeling toward it. And that's what

38:45 you that's what you just heard on the record. Yeah. Actually, I

38:46 think I think in the studio we played it two ways. I think Dave

38:51 had us play it two ways. That sounds familiar, and that we think

38:52 it was the new way that I don't know if we'd actually ever done it

38:57 that way before, except but it's now obviously sounds like the way it should

39:00 be done, right, that's right in the studio. But yeah, yeah,

39:02 but it evolved for sure. Okay, Okay, very cool? Uh?

39:07 Should we Yeah? We have time? Why don't we want to play

39:09 another one? Well, let's see what should we play? I had the

39:15 last one. I said you guys could pick, and then I ended up

39:17 picking it because I was like, wait, a minute. No, we

39:21 have to hear that one again. What should we? Uh? We got

39:23 low Lights, We've got I don't belong what you do low Lights. That's

39:29 a little different, little diddy. That one's a little a little darker,

39:32 isn't it? If I remember? Yeah, I guess you could look at

39:35 it that way. I mean, you know, yeah, yeah, that's

39:37 a contrast. Mark sings that one has a little bit of a different vibe,

39:40 a little more of a Spanish Southern feel to it. It's kind of

39:44 a unique little snippet in our set. So right right, all right,

39:52 check this out. This is low Lights and the band is best not broken.

40:15 Honey, your voice gets a load of mom you drink a little more.

40:23 This s your ch what a lot of people saying that you dropped the

40:30 team been. I won't k you, but I'm saying that you do.

40:36 In find out who knows the true In the night time, my man was

40:43 like, let it get a little crazy, and so in the nighttime in

40:47 the lower in the mean time, man's nostalgia A man, I think it's

40:57 about chick in a lot like that's a feel for another one. Let's get

41:20 spun and then it intiest you want another. Now, a lot of people

41:30 don't have the same aggression. They're not like you. They're not saying a

41:36 ship, You're not what you canna tell you. Okay, let's get gone

41:42 in the night time. If my beal's like, let it get a little

41:45 crazy, and so in the nighttime, in the low in the man nostalgia,

41:58 a man of thinking in the nighttimes. Right, let it get a

42:10 little crazy inside in the nighttime in the low light. That is catchy as

42:34 hell. That is low lights. The band is Best Not Broken, and

42:37 we have two thirds of Best Not Broken here with us live in studio.

42:39 That is such a great song. Yeah, I remember that one from Last

42:42 time fun We like it? Yeah, yeah, really really good. Hey,

44:07 of course you guys are opening for Barry Goodrow's engine Room and uh looking forward

44:13 to really looking forward to that. That's gonna be a that's gonna be a

44:15 cool night. Who else have you guys played with? Who's uh like?

44:19 Is is there anyone who really stands out bands that you've shared the stage with?

44:23 Yeah? Sure, Carl, what do you think? Well, you

44:27 know what just came Actually at this same venue we did a show with what

44:32 are you thinking? Uh, the one with the uh Jefferson Starship start,

44:38 the other one, the recent one. Who oh? The guests who yeah?

44:42 Who oh? You guys played with them? Yeah, yeah, And

44:45 you know what was interesting was I mean they're a little it'll be kind they're

44:50 a little older than us, but but there you forget how much music they

44:55 have. Yeah, their music is iconic. Oh yeah, Like it defined

45:00 an entire generation and it was really wild to see them play that live.

45:06 I mean it was yeah, that was that to me, that was a

45:08 you know, I don't want to say it was like hearing the Beatles,

45:10 but you know it was damn close. I mean it was. They've got

45:14 some really big, big songs that really lasted. Well that was the sixties,

45:17 right, Yeah, sixties or early seventies. Well, I know what

45:20 you mean though, because they're a band that they've got some some big hits

45:23 that you probably most people probably don't realize who it is really. You know,

45:28 they hear that, they hear the songs, and they know the songs.

45:30 But if you were to ask them, you know, if you were

45:32 to say, you know, guess who that artist is and they be like,

45:37 you know, you could make a whole uh sort of who's on first?

45:40 Uh? That was That was a fun show we we actually did.

45:45 We did that one a little differently too. We didn't do like a half

45:47 acoustic kind of thing. Yeah, was I acoustic, which was cool.

45:52 So I had a different different feel to it. So it was kind of

45:53 it was kind of fun, but well, you know, speaking of Blue

45:55 Ocean. The other one, we did a Blue Oshan which was recently just

45:59 fun and we might have mentioned this when we're here, but we played with

46:00 Kevin Bacon and the Bacon Brothers, and that was like a full acoustic show

46:05 because Kevin's more, he's got a he's a pretty It's kind of an eclectic

46:09 mix of like you know, country jazz, folks, blue grass, like

46:14 the whole you know, a little bit of rock, but just like all

46:15 over the map and they so we were sort of trying to be kind of

46:22 in the in the same genre. So we were mostly acoustic. Yeah,

46:24 and some of the unfortunately some of our tunes translate pretty well acoustic. But

46:30 that was a fun one too. And and the thing that stood out to

46:32 me though was the security. It's amazing. You know. You think you

46:36 go to a rock and roll show or a music show and security is usually

46:38 pretty tight. But you get a movie star right and right us like you

46:44 can't like, you know, they're tight here with the coffee. I mean,

46:46 it couldn't go like five feet down the hallway and they're giving us a

46:51 hard time. Yeah, we did give him a bottle of wine, which

46:55 he was very appreciative, but we couldn't hand it to him personally. Oh

46:59 that's it went through the people, right through the people. But he gave

47:02 us a nice shout out. And that was a fun show too. That's

47:06 an interesting dynamic when you've got a band like that. That's you know,

47:10 they're not like the Bacon Brothers as an entity, is not like uh,

47:15 you know, an arena act, you know what I mean. But on

47:21 the other hand, one of the guys happens to be an A list celebrity,

47:23 so that's interesting. Yeah, how does his brother feel? I know,

47:29 well, you know, his brother knows that they're getting gigs, right

47:30 exactly. Yeah, his brother is probably just fine with it, you know

47:34 what I mean. I mean, it's amazing to it because I think they

47:37 sold out. It's amazing they sold out. It was they actually put on

47:40 a good show that they had a list musicians. I mean, the cats

47:45 that were playing with them were top notch and they did a great job too.

47:49 And of course you know what you're waiting for when you're seeing the Bacon

47:52 brothers, and sure enough, you know, for the encore, I mean

47:55 that was that was the tune that they did Footloose. So yeah, which

48:00 was I gotta say, you know, having seen the movie, right,

48:04 pretty iconic to see Kevin Bacon singing Footloose on stage. Did he dance a

48:08 little bit? Maybe? I think he did a little bitte up there because

48:13 he's gonna go back to the high school that was filmed in I can go

48:16 to their last prom. He's going for their last prom. I think it's

48:22 awesome, right, Yeah, he seems like a really good. Yeah,

48:30 he seems human. He does exactly, and he stays pretty active on social

48:32 media too. He's I think he's doing regular, regular posts and sort of

48:37 like a glimpse of hit into the real life of Kevin Bacon. His wife's

48:40 a movie stars. Yeah, they both. I can't remember who's he married

48:44 to. Oh okay, yeah, okay, yeah, I forgot about that.

48:49 Wow. Well, yeah, I've heard that they're u that the Bacon

48:52 Brothers are really good live. Who else, if any anybody else you guys

48:55 have played with the really stands out well, I always you know, our

49:00 first big show was with Pat Benattar. We did a couple of shows with

49:02 her, I think. Yeah. We did a string of shows with the

49:07 Gin Blossoms, which was cool. Yeah. Vertical Horizon Yeah yeah, yeah,

49:12 that's really good. That that massive from the movie? What is that

49:16 song You're a God? Yeah? Oh no, no, which was that

49:20 was? That was our follow up hit which wasn't as big. That was

49:22 a really big one. Yeah. I can't remember that name. Oh He's

49:24 Everything you want? Well yeah, yeah, yeah that was Yeah. I

49:28 couldn't get away from the long I didn't know that really. Yeah. Yeah.

49:32 England has a nice amount of musicians. Oh yeah, we have a

49:37 lot of great stuff that comes out of New England. Absolutely, I'm a

49:40 little biased. Yeah we all are. Yeah, we are know that the

49:45 scene is incredible. Absolutely. Well, let's let's sneak in one more I'd

49:50 like to get in one more song. Sure what, I think there's probably

49:54 one left that we haven't played. Yep, I think it's I don't belong.

49:58 I don't belong. I can't wait till next week to go see you

50:00 guys live. This is gonna be so much fun. Yeah, and if

50:04 you want to come with us, we've got a pair of tickets that we're

50:06 giving away for next Friday. You can give us a call or poke into

50:09 the chat room if you would like and say me, me, me,

50:32 listen. This is I don't belong and the band is best not broken.

50:42 I'm walking in a home room member about a boom boom, Assima kicking sabers

53:45 I don't belong by Best Not Broken? Jeeze, Everything you guys do

53:47 is so catchy. Thank you, thank you. We try. I'm over

53:52 here tapping along with my pen. I'm not even a drummer. I play

53:54 bass, but I'm tapping. I can't help it. That's how catchy it

53:58 is. That's good. We got a backup when Carlos out there, we

54:01 got to know. There you go. H So we've got two thirds of

54:07 Best Not Broken here with us live in studio, and we've been talking about,

54:10 Oh, we should talk about the video. You guys were saying,

54:14 there's a great video for that song. It's a video. I don't know

54:15 about great, but it's uh, let's just say it's entertaining. Yeah,

54:21 what your mom think of it? My mom was embarrassed, I think to

54:23 be my mom. Oh no, well, the good news is you couldn't

54:27 actually tell that it was you. Right, That's that is true. Without

54:30 giving too much away, that is mostly true. I'm sure your mom knew

54:36 and perhaps other yeah, well, being fallically challenged. The outfit in this

54:43 particular video was oh boy supportive, so I guess without giving away we so

54:47 we actually speaking of high schools, we shot it at a local high school.

54:51 Oh cool, and we there was a story written for this video which

54:54 kind of followed the song, and we came up with a plan to shoot

54:59 this video and we just missed it. We had to do one slice of

55:01 it live in a different, different venue, but most of it was shot

55:06 in the day in a high school with a cast, and it was It

55:09 was a lot of fun shooting it, and we got pretty close to what

55:12 we wanted. It turned out to be very entertaining. Nobody got hurt.

55:15 No one got hurt. That's what counts. That's that's the important thing.

55:19 Very very good. Well we've been talking about of course, these guys are

55:22 going to be live on Friday, April five at Blue Ocean Is it Blue

55:28 Ocean Music Hall? Is Yes, that's the one, gotcha? Gotcha?

55:30 I want to make sure I get the full name and got to respect the

55:32 venue in Salisbury, mass And these guys are opening for Barry Goudreau's engine Room.
