whole loaf, and they are here. We're gonna speak with them in a

moment. This is Matt Connorton unleashed and we are live from the studios of

w m n H ninety five point three FM on Canal Street in Glorious Manchester,

New Hampshire. And of course it is Saturday, April twentieth two,

thy twenty four. Welcome everybody, and we've got them. We've got the

whole band here, the whole loaf. It was too obvious. I had

to say it. Hey guys, thanks, thanks for having thanks for having

us. I assume this is the whole band. I mean, you know,

usually if there's five five people, that's that's the whole I don't think

I've ever interviewed a band. We got some bread crumbs here and there,

but we're the whole loaf. We try to have the whole loaf fun,

not just a few slices, you know, yes, one sandwich, don't

cut it, you know, that's that's right. You gotta do what you

gotta do. Well, let's let's start with you. I'd like to go

around, have you each introduce yourselves and tell us, tell us who you

are, what you do in the band. And I'd like to start with

you because, for one thing, I met you already. Yeah, so

you have an advantage oh god, I didn't realize that. And you're the

bass player, correct, I am the bass player. I'm also a bass

player. We have to stick together. I don't feel that, uh,

I don't feel that we get enough credit for what we do. Absolutely,

and you deserve credit for those baselines. Yeah, Ryan, I'm the bass

player. You know. Charlie's my main guy. And you know, I

take a lot of inspiration from Phil Lesh and Jack Cassidy and kind of bass

players who aren't really bass players. So I try to be emblematic of that

style. Interesting. I want to come back to that afterward. But uh,

and you, sir, yes, Oh, I can't hear you.

I'm sorry, hang on, something's uh why can't I hear you? I

think I know why I can't hear you. I'm still getting used to the

new studio. Yeah, oh I can't. I can't hear you. There

we go. Nice. Hey everyone, this is Charlie Kenny and I bank

stuff professionally and drums on the side the loaf. Very good, yeah,

Charlie, alrighty, welcome Charlie. That's our guy. Congratulations on the banging

and and uh and you, I'm Sean. I like that jacket. By

the way, you thank you. I play organ and keyboards and you gotta

talk right into that. Yeah, sorry, that's uh yeah, there you

go. I'm Sean Crowley and I play organ and keyboards and I sing thank

you very good? Yes that that it droops? I know. And you,

sir, I'm Jack. I am one of the two guitarists in this

band. I try to write more simple stuff as Kyle likes to take a

more jazzy approach. But I think that that balance is something that, you

know, kind of sets a support. I would say, so, okay,

and you, sir, my name is Kyle. I usually try to

play the triangle whenever I can. That's my favorite instrument and it really blends

together with our sounds. Sometimes they'll bring out the bongo, but I guess

recently I've been playing the guitar. Okay, well, very good. Now.

Now, has the band always been the five of you? Yep?

For the most I think that's a bit of a gray area rest of it.

We kind of came in at different stages, but for the most part,

yeah, okay, how long has the whole of existed? So that's

a showing question. Kyle and I started in January twenty twenty three. Okay,

and between then and beginning of May, we slowly picked up everybody.

Okay, so it was first me and Kyle, then we picked up Charlie

actually in February, Jack sometime in early March, and Ryan was beginning of

May. Okay, we stole Ryan. We did. We just kind of

told we've got that Strange Brew. Yeah, yeah, so it sounds like

there's a story. Yeah. So essentially without the Strange Brew being how it

is, without Mitch the owner, without Howard who runs the Sunday night open

Mike Blues Jam, and without all of his crew, John madeiros Mark,

Steve, everybody there, like, we wouldn't have met. So without that

place being there, this band wouldn't have really ever gotten off the ground and

it wouldn't have really even existed. So we definitely owe quite a bit to

that place, which is why we love coming up to Manchester because it's like

we kind of consider this place as like a home to us, as like,

yeah, like our first stomping ground. So we also come and share

for our story and be able to hang out. Where are y'all from?

Different? So I'm from a dunstable Massachusetts a cow town. I was gonna

say, I don't even know where Dunstable is there twice a week. Yeah,

yeah, it's just south of Nashua, New Hampshire, around the line,

right right over the border. Okay, okay, are you guys all

from mass or Yeah? I live way out way out east to the Northore.

Okay, how about how about the rest of you guys. Are I'm

the only New Hampshire in the band, you're the only one? Yeah?

I was originally from Salem, but I just moved to Manchester a year ago.

Oh okay, okay, very good, very good. It's interesting about

the strange Brew I've heard. I've heard that from other people too. It's

a that's a that that's one of the places that's really good to kind of

meet and network with other musicians. Yeah. Yeah, and you guys have

a it's a relatively new project, it sounds like. But you've you've already

got a whole bunch of well we'll we'll play more too as we go along,

But you've already got a bunch of great sound in studio tracks, one

all home produced too. For it's really all the of work, yeah,

mixing, mastering, right, that I have a little like home studio set

up in my basement with like nice that's the benefits of having a dad who's

also a musician play with all his fun toys. Oh, very cool,

very cool. Y cracks are fresh out of the Kenny basement, No kidding.

Yeah, Left Turn in Halifax Blues we're both recording in a recording studio,

which we mixed, and the rest of them they were recorded in Charlie's

basement kind of Oh okay, in practice we record everything, okay. So

where where we're Left Turn and Halifax Blues recorded? That was in Cambridge.

I work at a studio called Blink Music. Oh okay, cool, So

we just kind of got a time there and we recorded and we mixed.

It took abu I think like a month to mix that. We pushed it

out on Halloween. Oh, no kidding, Okay, okay, very cool.

That's the only track we've released so far, but everything else has just

been unreleased from the vaults. Yeah, okay, we're on the way though

too, yeaheah. Definitely. All of the unreleased stuff is cataloged and available

on our website. Oh, what's the website. It's www dot the whole

loaf. Dot net one more time. Dot net Yeah, okay, that's

how you know. It's official dot net, not dot com right right.

We're dot org yet, but we hope to get there. Maybe at dot

gov if we're lucky dot gov. There you go. Oh yeah, bass

players, tell me why do you like? Who do you like again?

And why do you like them? I want to go back to that.

Oh okay, So I'm a massive, massive Deadhead. Yeah. A friend

of mine got me into him almost ten years ago, and I really really

just love their sound. I just think what they do is amazing, especially

Phil Lesh. He's the bass player for the Dead and if you listen to

his stuff, he plays things very melodically, and he doesn't attack a certain

song, and he doesn't attack how the song is structured. He just kind

of plays what he wants to and he plays and if you hone it in

and you just listen to his bass playing, it's really not a bass part.

Yet somehow, the way he layers in and the way he's able to

dive in and out of the rhythm and the melody, it's absolute insanity and

it somehow works with everything that's going on. Same with Jack Cassidy to a

degree. He was the bass player for Jefferson Airplane, and he does a

very similar thing, especially if you listen to any of the live stuff that

he played with Country Joe and the Fish or even Jefferson Airplane is kind of

all over the place and stuff. Yeah, I know what you mean.

I saw. I can't. I don't know about Phil Leash. I mean

I know who he is, obviously, but I never listened to much Dad,

But I know what you mean about Jack Cassidy now that you bring it

up. Yeah, yeah, I can. I can definitely hear that.

Okay, Yeah, I was. I was curious. As a bass player,

my holy trinity of like bass players is Phil Lesh, Jack Cassidy,

and John Paul Jones. Oh nice Jaul Jones. Those are my three major

inspirations. Yeah, there you go. Yeah, Ryan as a bass player

does bring He has more of like a melodic style, which like from the

rhythm ppe active like from the drummer. It opens up like different opportunities to

kind of like make the beat a little more interesting. Yeah. So it's

a cool dynamic. They're both in love with each other. They really love

each other a lot. We have this like telepathic thing where I can just

we're in the middle of a jam or a song, and I can just

look at him and he knows exactly what I'm thinking, Yeah, and he

just brings it right there, and it's the thing of magic. It's the

universal unspoken relationship between the bassis and the drummer. Yea where it comes about.

Yeah, that's awesome, very good, very good. Now, what

about in terms of songwriting, you guys all write together or how does that

work. It's a little funny. We kind of all write songs separately,

so we end up with a pretty wide range of sounds. Like if you

listen to the difference between Left Turn and Halifax Blues, it's it's very very

different. I think you two, Sean and Kyle wrote Halifax Blues together and

then kind of brought it to the rest of us and we made our parts

for it. And Left Turn I wrote just a RIF four and send it

off to Kyle and Sean, and next thing we knew we had a song.

So we don't really have a set process, I don't think. Yeah,

it's it's a very collaborative process. So kind of how it works is

somebody comes up with a song idea, be it Jack or Kyle and Sean

or just Sean, Kyle, whatever, Charlie, even myself, and we

get together when we practice and we just say, hey, here's a song

idea, here are the chords, and we just kind of build it up

from there. Okay. That's one thing I really like is I like having

that collaborative process instead of somebody just writing a song and saying, hey,

here's how it needs to be. I like the collaboration. Yeah. Yeah.

I have a hunch too that do these change live sometimes because it seems

like the style of what you're doing, you know, you've got room to

breathe, it's built around improv Yeah. Yeah, I was going to say

that's another That's another facet to the songwriting is a lot of times we'll just

have a rehearsal and do a warm up jam and I'll just kind of make

something up. We do two of those a week. That's roughly four new

songs a week. Wow. Yeah, So how many songs do you guys

have currently? We have four hundred and sixty. Well, each of them

are at different stage with all the ideas, So like somebody gets an idea,

even if it's like a five second little thing. You send it to

Sean, he catalogs it, and then we go back and we rephrase them

and work on them together, bring them to the whole band, and then

everyone kind of gets a chance to write on it. Yeah. Yeah,

it's pretty. Best thing about having Sewn in the band for us is his

uh yeah, this is his cataloging ability, because he will note down every

single little riff idea for its and it all gets neatly organized in our dropbox.

So we could be able to even it's something like back four months ago

and it was just like a random get together, he'll still have a little

note for it. We can go back and revisit it. It can it

can be. It can be as simple as just a song title that doesn't

have a lyric, or that doesn't have any lyrics, or doesn't even have

any chords, and it goes and the idea is folder. Yeah. Oh

that's good. It's good. Good to have somebody who's super organized. Can

that's the saving grace? Yeah. Yeah. It might be a freak of

nature, as Ryan often says, but you know it keeps us organized.

Yeah, yeah, no, that's good. That's important. We should since

we were talking about it, we should play this track Halifax Blues. So

this is the other one that was recorded at the studio that you work at.

Any any any story behind the song or is there? Kyle and I

were just sitting in my bedroom one day and he goes, wow, you

can really make a song with anything, and he starts playing this this weird

uh whatever theory you want to attached to. He started playing that, and

then all of a sudden, I start playing a one to five under that,

and it's like, wow, I guess you're right. We can make

a song anything. That was the first song we released. Yeah, but

why Halifax Blues? What's the significance or is there any right? Yeah,

I couldn't tell you that. Just yeah, that was one that just kind

of spawned. We don't write this, we don't just transmit them. Yeah,

they kind of sometimes get delivered to us straight into our brains like radio

towers. Exactly. Alright, I like it. The song storks brought that

one. I think is a divine delivery. Very title. There we go.

That's another one. There you go. The idea is folder put the

folder, Yeah, alright, in it down as we speak. Well,

now we definitely have to listen to this all right, let's check this out.

This is Halifax Blues. The band is the Whole Loaf. Love the

top act who rolls around down cigarettes fo drowning me. How I got the

windows down to let it all out and wearing Baba suits. I can't let

on the facts. Please run the top of dog who wants to love?

When I see him? Pretty lady can help myself, don't you got me

rolling a round and chasing my tail and wearing dub my doors. I got

the elephants please. That is Halifax Blues. The band is the Whole Loaf,

and we have the whole Loaf with us in studio, literally the entire

band. Hey, where's the name come from? By the way, Jean,

there's got to be a story behind the name. Yeah. I just

woke up one morning and it was in my head and I thought to myself,

Wow, See when when I was looking for all the musicians before I

met these guys, I thought, well, I want to start a band

that does everything. I want to have no restrictions. I want everybody to

play what they want the way they want, and I want everyone to compromise

rather than people say no. I don't want to do that, so we

can't do that. So I don't know, I just kind of woke up

one morning and it was in my head. I'm like, wow, the

whole loaf, the whole spectrum, spectrum of music. And uh, you

know, at first everybody hated it. They're like no, no, what

is that. Then it slowly grew on everyone and they're like, yeah,

okay. So I was saying like, yeah, just let it, let

it sit for a little bit and if we come up with anything better,

we'll take that. And we never did, so it stuck. It did.

Did you did you think about consider some other name? I love rejected

band names. Did you have other names that you were thinking about? Or

I don't. I don't really know that we had any that stuck. I

know we had a side project with when I was one of the band,

one of the cover bands I was in broke Up. So I took some

of these guys from the very beginning to you know, kind of fill in

for one of the shows and it was us three yeah, and the band

name was called Zeke and the Zamboni's Oh that's cool. There was also oh

sorry no, I was just going to say as for our rejected band names.

I don't know that there were any that we remember. Yeah, on

a personal note, like by the time I joined the band, name was

already kind of there. Yeah, Like, as I forget who said it

earlier, I want to say it was Kyle, Who's like they basically just

stole me. They just picked me up and said, yep, you're with

us, and I said, all right, I guess. So. Yeah,

we convinced him to come to a practice and after a couple of songs,

we're like, yeah, you're the guy. Well, well you're the

guy, time out, time out. How it actually happened was Kyle messaged

me. We had played at the Brew a couple of times, and he

said, you know, we're looking shopping around for a bass player. Would

you be interested in filling in if we have any shows coming up? And

I said, yeah, sure, I don't mind filling in. I'm not

really in any projects, like let me know. He's like he's like,

all right, great, solid. Well, after a while, you know,

they said, hey, we have a gig coming up. Do you

want to fill in? And I said yeah. So I came through for

a few practices to practice for the gig and then eventually it was just like,

yep, you're the guy we want. You're right. Yeah, So

that's nice when you know, when it's organic like that. Yeah, then

it's when when it's easy to put a band together like that, then you

know you've really got something, you know well, And yeah, my introduction

story to these two over here, for it's like, I'm not really a

big fake guy, but the amount of pieces that had to go together in

order to make this introduction happen was super random. Really. It was at

the time I was in another college band called Night Visions, and we had

hosted a show in our college apartment basement at some point, and at the

time one of was my brothers, i'd say, a friend from middle school

his name was Brenner, happened to see that I was a drummer and like

just turd through the grape vine for that I was able to play drums or

and then it was a random January day where it's I had never really interacted

with him much, but he just like hit me up on Snapchat out of

the blue, just like, Hey, I was looking to start up a

new project, would you be interested to go play drums on it? And

at the time for it's I was like, I love playing with my college

band, but also like I was open to experimenting with new styles. Yeah,

and like my college band was more of a I wouldn't say like scripted,

but more of that, Like it's kind of like a set party.

Were playing with these guys. It was like the first time I played with

them at Dargan Hall, we just went off on a whole, like twenty

minute jam session for just making stuff up. We went on a journey first.

The first song he jammed out together it is called lock Me in the

Cupboard, their first original jam. And it's kind of funny because that first

session was January February twenty fourth of twenty twenty three. Do you know the

time too, Probably around six o'clock And I was definitely wearing this jacket.

Wow, all right, Yeah, for context, this is Sean's outfit every

day, all the time. He changed my shirt. Yeah, it's a

good look every once in a while. Excuse me, it's too bad that

people can't see it. You look like you stepped out of the time the

listeners where Sean looks like he was just born in the wrong generation traveler straight

out of the sixties right right. Well, actually the shirt though, is

not that unlike Ryan's shirt there just no just see, you guys can have

matching jackets. Then we could go full sixties, get the haircuts us Sean

and the Crowleys. Now do you guys play out a lot? You are

you playing out every week or how often we wish? Yeah? Well,

actually in May we are playing every weekend for the most part. Yeah.

It comes in births. Yeah. So we have three shows coming up in

May. We have a show May fourth at Sammy's Patio down in Revere.

Then the weekend after on May eleventh, we're playing at Strange Brew Tavern home

Turf. And then the weekend after that, on May eighteenth, we're opening

porch Fest down in Malden, Okay. Now, what is that porch Fest?

Is that a big multi day thing. No, it's just a small

one day festival. Starts at noon. We'll be playing noon to one.

It's put on by the Porch Juke Joint down in Malden Medford area and they

set it up outside and it's kind of a free event for the public.

They actually partner with the City of Malden to put it on. Oh cool,

cool, very cool. Do you guys ever, do you ever do

anything acoustic or is it always electric? It seems like your music would you

know you could? You could probably play in a lot of different configurations.

I'm the big acoustic guy over here. I mean, we love to play

some hog blues. That's a that's a genre we created where we get some

acoustic guitars and we just kind of have some fun. Well, it's less

of a genre and more of our unique style. He knows all the all

the cool chords, and I kind of just pick out melodies by ear.

Yeah. John plays strictly from the ear. He has no idea what music

theory is, but it's actually incredible, Like he listens to so much music,

so he just picks it up by ear, and I'm the opposite.

I like to study. I teach guitar too. It's great. I like

to study all that. So it kind of works very well when we play

together. Yeah, because I could do something that's decently cool, and then

he could tell me what it is that I did, and then I'll be

like, oh, yeah, yeah, okay, I can relate to Like

I don't know any theory I can, so I can I can relate I

I also I played by ear yeah, and I could never understand. But

I'm not good at math, and I think that's I think that's why because

it is is math, right, I mean basically like math. Yeah yeah?

And how long do you guys play when you when you do a set,

because I would imagine again with these songs, you know you can you

can kind of open them up and let them breathe. Do you do you

have you done like multi hour sets or so? Typically when we are the

only band playing that night. So for example, at Strange Brew, the

last gig we had at Strange Brew February fifteenth, we were the only band

there. Same with the gig coming up on May eleventh. We usually play

about three hours. Wow, yeah, no kidding. I play a full

three hour set, two sets with like a fifteen to twenty minute break in

between. Yeah. Yeah, oh that's really good. Is it all originals?

Do you do any do you throw some covers in there? Or there's

plenty of covers? Yeah? Are there? We we like our covers.

Yeah yeah. You know some of these guys keep saying like, oh,

well, we can't be at cover bands. You know, we got to

do originals. And I always keep saying there's way too many good songs out

there to not play well. It's kind of goes back to what Sean was

saying about the idea behind the whole Loaf name for in, just like our

inclusive vibe that we have, it's we still want to be able to mix

in for those covers, right as well as the originals. Yeah, yeah,

no, that makes sense. And is it challenging with five of you

in in the band? Is it? Is it challenging in terms of scheduling

like getting together for rehearsals and booking shows and whatnot? Is that actually all

We all chip in a little bit on on getting shows, doing all kind

of all that kind of work. But we have set days where we practice.

Yep, I wouldn't say it's too much of a struggle. We rehearsed

twice a week consistently. If someone is out one of those days, typically

the rest of the guys will do something, whether it's recording or rehearsal with

one less person. And then as for shows, those usually work out pretty

good too. Yeah good. And it goes back to acoustic thing too,

Like we're hosting an open jam in Nashua and it's just going to be the

two of us meet and Kyle at the Kaba Bar. Yep, oh,

very good. Well, when it comes to gig for it's we don't.

I would say, we don't operate in. Let's find a day convenient for

us and then we'll figure out our schedule. It's more we get offered today

and we'll cancel everything else that's going off to go. Yeah, yes,

that is accurate. There you go, there you go. Oh and how

did you how did you get in? We we ended up not Jenny and

I weren't able to stay for your set that night. But you guys played

at the Midnight I never got the name right, Midnight Creators Collected, Midnight

Creators Collective. Thank you. Yeah, Eleanor is amazing. She's she's doing

a great job with that. But how did you guys get involved with that?

With with playing that uh, that show? We didn't play that show.

We didn't play that show. We were just there. We got invited.

Oh I thought you guys played that night. No, no, no,

no, just visiting. We got offered. It was all because of

Greg He I honestly don't know his last name. I wish I did,

but he is the proprietor of the Kava Bar down in Ashua Rude Awakening Kaba

Bar. Check it out. It's a very interesting spot. We played there

a couple of times and we're we're doing a reoccurring open mic now month.

Okay, it's the last Saturday of every month, So come down and either

play with us or play by yourself pretty much do whatever you want. Yeah,

yeah, you're not you're not gonna. We're not. We're not sour

dough people. We're very friendly. Yeah, we're like but but yeah,

Greg he's the owner there, and he mentioned how Eleanor was the main investor

trying to get something going in the Nashuay area. And then another friend of

ours who's actually he takes lessons from Kyle Mike McDowell offered sent us like a

Facebook thing inviting us to it, and I said, hey, we should

too for saying, like playing wise for the take that we got from that

I still don't adjas meet to sto all right? That is uh. I

think Gypsy very good. That is the Whole Loaf in studio with us.

No, I like that a lot. And I was saying off air that

you get a really good recording there in the in the basement there, So

that's no, that's really good. Guys, We're all we're the time goes

quickly before we run out of time at the end of the hour, and

we'll finish off with one more song. We won't be able to fit fit

the whole thing, but we'll we'll play a little something at the end.

But what should people know about? Where to find you online? How to

keep up with everything that you're doing? Website, social media, all of

that. So we have our own website, beautifully crafted by yours truly.

It's www dot the Whole Loaf dot net. Don't forget the ww dot because

I might have screwed up some DNS settings by accident. Sean Crawley, Sean

Crawley, everyone, I'm here all day. Actually I'm here for the next

ten minutes. Are you Are you serious about the DNS settings. I'm a

web designer, so I'm just curious. I'm yeah the geek and me is

like, what Google domains? Just switch the Squarespace and our site doesn't come

up if you don't put the WWW. Really yeah, I still have to

look into that. I just haven't had the time. Weird, Yeah,

but uh Google. Know what's funny about it is because anybody who knows me

knows so I always cringe when I hear people say the WWW, like I

hear it in radio ads still in the year twenty twenty four, and I'm

like why. And I've been saying that for twenty years, so I was

kind of thinking that when you were saying it, But now that you've explained

why you have to do that, it makes sense. But it's also like,

wow, that's so weird. Yeah, I can I have Google to

think. Wow, Well, I'm sorry to hear that. Yeah, I

have a couple of minutes during the day. John's really broken up about it.

Yeah, yeah, he hasn't slept in days. Oh, it would

frust It would frustrate me to no end. I'd be like, I wouldn't

sleep ever again until I hadn't figured out I'd be so I'd be so upset.

It's a one who hasn't written a song about it yet, to be

honest. Oh, I don't start anyway. Our other socials besides the Whole

Loaf dot net, you could find us on Instagram and TikTok at the dot

Whole Loaf. That's it. Facebook, I believe is the Whole Loaf.

Ryan can probably confirm that for me. That would be confirmed. Yes,

YouTube as well as The Whole Loaf, and I don't know what else we

have. We're on Spotify, we have Halifax Blues and Left Turnout, and

we'll be releasing some more music shortly. Yeah, it's all the music are

is on all major streaming services far as we use one of those distribution services

for it. Make sure that all the songs get released everywhere. Excellent more,

I would say, if you'd have to pick one to go to for

it's the instam and our bio. We have a link tree that will redirect

you to all of our other associated websites, So that's probably the easiest way

to get to know the Whole Loaf. More importantly, too, if you

go to our website and you go under I want to say it's media,

and you go on archive Media Archive sessions, it is I'm looking at it.

I'm looking at it right now. If you go to Media Archives sessions,

that's pretty much everything we've ever done, every practice, every practice,

every gig, everything. We record everything we've ever done. So you can

scroll through, pick a random thing and you can see everything that we play

during that practice or what have you, gig whatever. Yeah, yeah,

actually sorry, it's it's it's recordings, not sessions, so it's media radio

and Sean. How many recordings did we are we at? Now? Oh?

Dear god. So as I said, we're at four hundred and sixty

eight originals and the recordings themselves covers originals. All the session stuff is well

over a thousand. I lost track. Yeah, I'm looking at the page.

Yeah, it's got Each one has the date rehearsal at Charlie's house,

rehearsal at Kyle's house. Yeah. Wow, I'm a this is cool.

It's really cool to do that, and then if you click into the date,

it gives you the set list, and then if you click each song

in the set list, it will bring you to a Google page to play

it. Oh my god. Wow. So you can hear all of our

music for free on our website. W so not only can you see the

evolution of how songs develop over time, but we also include h what they're

called like intermission snippets, but also just some of the fun like banter moments.

Yeah, we have in practice those areas. Oh that's awesome. No,

good for you guys, Good for you for doing that. Thank you.

I went to the the reason, I pulled up the website on the

browsers. I was like, I gotta test this, and su I typed

in the whole loaf dot net. Nothing happened, it said not secure or

something. I put in the WWW, and it took me right to it.

Yeah, I'm just I just have to go in and set up a

redirect. But we don't even have a Squarespace account yet, so I'm gonna

have to create that to access the domain again and then make the edits do

some surgery. That's crazy that you have to do that, And I've been

putting it off because I want to wait until I have time to actually sit

down and go through all of the I'm essentially going to be exploring a completely

new platform from scratch, so I want to make sure I do it thoroughly

rather than yeah, I can relate to that because I'm the same way with

stuff like that. It's like, I'll have something that I really want to

do, like something like this would be driving me nuts, But at the

same time, it's like, but I need to find time where I can

just sit uninterrupted for what could potentially be several hours. And so it's that

battle that goes on in my mind. It's like, Oh, I really

got to get this done because this is killing me. But I got to

wait for a time when I can really dig into it because I know it's

going to be so I can I can relate and instead of just going to

like a provider that could do it for us, or it's I think we

want to take the time to get the experience of like figuring out how all

these pieces come together. And we also have an idea too, it's we're

also interested in starting up a record label to records, So being able to

have all these tools and our disposal would be cool to have for when we

venture. Yeah, definitely, what's it gonna be called? Unslice mind?

Well sliced right right, gotcha? There's no point in putting it back together,

I gotcha. We just have a couple we'll hear a little bit of

a should we do black and white radio and white? I don't know why

I said black and white radio? Obviously it's just black and white. Want

you want to do our garage floors? Yeah? Well this is going to

be our next next single state yet but this is it and the B side

is going to be fullsome Prison Blues. Oh no kidding. One is by

Jack Codges. Very cool. I didn't write fullsome Prison right right right.

Anybody's wondering. I got to mention that one's a cover. You didn't tell

me that. How long has this been going on? Well, guys,

thank you so much. This has been wonderful. It's great to meet all

of you and have you in and I've really enjoyed the discussion. I'm a

big fan of your music, and so thank you for coming in today.

get off the air, man, I wanted to give you our first official

piece of band merch. Some stickers, oh, very for you and two
