5:00 Speaker 12: Oh what a great great track. I love that so much and that's a great way to kick off this week's Matt Connorton Unleashed. Hello everybody, We are live from the studios of WMNH ninety five point three FM in glorious but very wet and rainy Manchester, New Hampshire. The song you just heard is called Max Scene and the band is The Forensics. They are from the UK, and that is the American radio premiere of that track. You have not heard that anywhere else in the United States. The song will be released, of course, officially on all the stream streaming platforms and everything on the twenty third of May this month, so soon soon, and then the band is going to be here on the show, not here in person, of course, but joining us from across the pond on the thirty first of May.

5:42 Speaker 12: So really looking forward to talking to them. But that is the American radio premiere of the new track from the Forensics. It's called Max Scene. And we'll probably hit that again in the second and third hour two just to make sure that no matter when you tune into the show, you get to hear it. Because that is a great, great track. I love that so much and really looking forward to talking with those But you heard it here first on Matt connorton Unleashed here on WM and H ninety five point three FM.

6:07 Speaker 12: So today is Saturday, May ten, twenty twenty five, flying solo this morning. But Jenny will be back next week. She is in the chat room though I did see her in there. So but we've got a great show ahead for you. In just a couple of moments, we're gonna be joined by Awaiting Abigail. We did talk to James from the band briefly a little bit a few weeks ago. But if you are watching live, if you're watching the video feed on Facebook or YouTube or wherever you might see it, I do have my Awaiting Abigail shirt.

6:36 Speaker 12: They sent us a package of stuff, which is so much fun. And I'll tell you what these Texas bands especially, they do that, or Grim from Pennsylvania obviously, artists that we have joining us in studio who are from the area, they'll they'll bring stuff with them. But we always appreciate that a little bit of extra effort that it takes to actually put something in the mail and send it to us. So Awaiting Abigail sent us an amazing package of stuff, and they sent shirts for Jenny and I and a bunch of cool stuff.

7:03 Speaker 12: So we love getting We love getting stuff from our guests, and it's not something that we in any way require or request. They just do it and we love it and we appreciate it and appreciate them and looking forward to getting to talk to members of Awaiting Abigail. I'm not sure how many members are going to be joining us on the line. We are going to be doing a little bit of an experiment this morning. So if you listen to the show last week, we made radio history here or Matt Connerton on Leashed History.

7:30 Speaker 12: Sorry if I'm stumbling a little bit here. My full disclosure. I'll just say this right up front. My allergies have been brutal lately, so I need a gulp of water.

7:41 Speaker 12: It'll probably be having many many gulps of water to get me through the show today because I've just got all this congestion and you know, the pollen's been really bad. And then it rains, and I don't like the rainy weather because it's dreary and it makes me tired, but as it does affect a lot of us. But then I hope, well, at least it'll wash away at the pollen, some of the pollen, but I don't think it actually works out because I still feel very congested and allergy ish, if that's a word, which it's not.

8:08 Speaker 12: Anyway, Last week on the show, because Skype has been discontinued, so we used WhatsApp for the first time on Matt Connerton Unleashed our friend at Charles Richardson, host of The Charles Richardson Show, joined us from Florida using WhatsApp. Went okay. The only problem with WhatsApp is if you're using it on the desktop. I haven't figured out yet how to because it's really it's designed to be a phone app. I haven't figured out how to answer on the desktop. So there's probably a way to do it. But when I called so I had to call Charles, but he wasn't able to answer on his computer.

8:46 Speaker 12: He had to use his phone to answer, and he wanted to use his computer because he's got his professional mic setup and everything that he uses for his show. Sounded really good anyway, The sound quality was great, but would have sounded even better if he was able to actually use his microphone instead of his phone. But there doesn't seem to be a way. I'm sure, there's a way. I just haven't figured it out yet to use WhatsApp where you can just answer it on your computer, so it's a little trickier. So I came up with another solution, another service.

9:14 Speaker 12: I don't want to say what it is. I don't want to give away too much proprietary information, but it is something that I'm already used to using. And I sent James a link to this other service. Will we'll see if that works. He has the studio line number, so if that doesn't work, he can call the studio line. But we're gonna kind of use Awaiting Abigail as our guinea pig to make sure that the way we're doing it now works. Because Skype is no more. This little notification popped up that said Skype is discontinued or being discontinued, and now you can use Google Teams.

9:45 Speaker 12: But that's that's not what we need for this. So anyway, so we'll see what happens. We'll see what happens. But so Awaiting Abigail is going to be joining us. I got to keep an eye on that for when they pop in to the I think I'll hear I think I'll hear something in my headphones, a chime or something when they arrive. Coming up in the second hour, we have Trawl from Portland, Maine. These guys I've been aware of for a while, saw them live once. Great great band. They're driving down. I hope, I hope they travel safely in the rain.

10:14 Speaker 12: It's pouring outside, but they're coming down from Portland, so really looking forward to meeting them. And then in the third hour, we have Mike Frasier, who is driving here all the way from Seattle. No, I'm kidding, he is from Seattle, but he's actually on tour right now, but the way the tour routing worked out, he's able to come and join us here on the program. Jenny and I met Mike might have been a year ago at the shas Skiene in Manchester. He was playing a show there, and he's got a fascinating backstory.

10:44 Speaker 12: He's really been through a lot, but I think he's well play. We actually did a world premiere of his newest single, April Days here on the show a couple of months ago. But really looking forward to having him and talking to him. Some more really interesting guy and a very talented musician. Oh h we've got him coming on in the third hour, So lots to do today on the show. We've got a very busy show ahead of us. But welcome everybody if you are just joining. This is Matt Condorton Unleashed and we are live from the studios of w m n H ninety five point three FM.

11:13 Speaker 12: And of course, for all your streaming options, you can go to my website Matt conorton dot com slash live and you can join the audio stream there. You can click a link to join the video stream if you'd like to.

11:25 Speaker 9: Uh.

11:27 Speaker 12: Oh, I just heard a chime. That's a good sign. That's a good sign. I think this is gonna work. Okay, let's see now I have to add. I just clicked add to the stream and I hear I hear things. That's a good sign. I think this is gonna work. Can you hear me?

11:46 Speaker 13: Yes, I can hear you.

11:47 Speaker 12: Hey, all right, it works. It works. We're using uh, we're using some different software than we're used to using because Skype is Skype is, Skype is no more. Okay, wonderful, wonderful awaiting abigail, Ladies and gentlemen, who do we have uh, who do we have? Joined us? On the on the line here.

12:02 Speaker 13: Yeah, so this is Abigail Hill.

12:04 Speaker 12: I'm the singer of Awaiting, okay, and who and and is.

12:10 Speaker 13: Just I think James is supposed to join as well.

12:13 Speaker 12: Hm hmm okay, wonderful. So if I hear another chime, I'll know to uh, I'll know to add him. Okay, excellent, excellent. I'm just gonna adjust something here. I'm sorry I'm doing this live on the air, but I just want to make sure this is working, okay, because we're doing a little bit doing this a little bit different. So Abigail, Yeah, so welcome to the program. I became well. First of all, thank you for the wonderful package that that the band sent us. And I wear my uh waiting Jenny and I we wear our Awaiting Abigail shirts proudly and tell us about you know, we kind of got when James was on with us.

12:49 Speaker 12: Oh, I heard another chime. Let's see.

12:54 Speaker 9: What's going on up James?

12:57 Speaker 12: Welcome?

12:58 Speaker 9: What's up? Hey?

12:59 Speaker 12: This new software I'm working see I'm using seems to be working great. So thank you for thank you for kind of being our guinea pigs with us this morning.

13:08 Speaker 9: Hey man, we don't ever mind it. We're guinea pigs for a lot of stuff. We dig it.

13:11 Speaker 12: There you go, there you go. I'm relieved that it works and we're all able to talk. So yeah, I was about to ask, Abigail, can you kind of tell us now you told us when we had you on before, kind of the history of the band how it all came together and uh, But I'd like to hear a little more too, from Abigail's perspective, because it's a unique project in the sense that you know, it's multi generational and there's even a father and a daughter combination in the band, I believe, and the whole deal. So it's really interesting how this band uh formed, And Abigail, I'd like to learn a little bit more about you and how you became a part of the band that is now awaiting Abigail.

13:50 Speaker 14: Yeah, so I started off in musical theater when I was four, and when I was a little bit older, I went to this like in town in Tomball was this rock club thing.

14:01 Speaker 13: It is called all about.

14:03 Speaker 14: Music and Arts, and I actually got into a rock band with that, but it wasn't like a like a big rock band.

14:09 Speaker 13: We would just like practice covers just so we get the feel of it.

14:13 Speaker 14: And then I now am then college at ET Arlington, and I was like really wanting a band because I also make my own music. I do pop as well, but I kind of wanted a band to like help me out and like collaborate because I love collaborating. And so I got on this app called band Mix, and that's actually where I found James and he messaged me and I did an audition from the Pretty Reckless.

14:39 Speaker 13: We just did a video audition.

14:41 Speaker 14: He liked it, and then we he ended up flying me out to do a band rehearsal because I was in Houston for the summer, and.

14:50 Speaker 13: We did a band rehearsal with the full band. They liked me. So then there was the last test.

14:55 Speaker 14: The last test was to see if I could songwrite and then do in the studio to make sure, like you know, I was the one because he had a couple of other options, and.

15:05 Speaker 13: So I song wrote. I worked with my boyfriend, he's actually right here.

15:10 Speaker 14: We worked at meals on wheels together, so I would songwrite like in between the routes and stuff, and I ended up songwriting all four of the EPs, all four of the songs off of the EP of Bad Mind and he liked it.

15:25 Speaker 13: So we went into the studio and I guess the studio person he said that he liked me. So that's kind of what got me into the band.

15:33 Speaker 12: And yeah, so it's interesting that you mentioned so you had initially you had auditioned for the Pretty Reckless, and then you were able to use that audition to show that to James.

15:45 Speaker 14: I did it, auditioned for the Pretty Reckless, but he wanted me to sing a pretty reckless song.

15:50 Speaker 12: Oh I got you, okay, Yeah.

15:52 Speaker 7: Yeah, I just gave it.

15:55 Speaker 9: I just gave her a cover, a couple of cover songs to learn.

15:57 Speaker 15: You know.

15:57 Speaker 9: That was kind of like our initial screening is like and then you know, she made the she made a short order because those were you know, we could tell she really had some chops from that, and so I was like, well, the next real test is gonna be, you know, can she write songs? So we had four tracks already, the four tracks are on the EP. Those already existed before Abby was around, and uh, we were just kind of struggling to find a singer. I mean we were pretty selective, so we turned a couple of people away.

16:28 Speaker 9: But anyways, it's crazy because you know that music's uh everywhere, at least for a small band. And uh, that those four songs, she laid those down and just a couple hours, Uh after only rehearsing with us one time.

16:45 Speaker 12: Yeah, when something, when something comes together quickly like that, that's how you know you've really got something when it's you know, it just makes it kind of seem like it's fate.

16:55 Speaker 9: Yeah, totally, So, so.

16:57 Speaker 12: That's very cool. Are you working on You've got the four tracks that you've released from the the ep Bad Mind. Do you have more stuff you're already working on?

17:05 Speaker 14: Yeah, we do, actually, so we're actually doing a couple from my actual originals from my pop stuff. One is called Anxiety, so we transformed that into a rock song, and then they also had another rock song that they kind of wrote together, and so I just made lyrics to that, and you've been performing that live.

17:26 Speaker 13: It's called left Out.

17:28 Speaker 14: So we're gonna go in the studio and get that ready and then tonight actually we have a performance as Kida.

17:34 Speaker 13: So we're actually doing a new one that was also from my pop stuff. It's called fun House. So we're kind of getting new tracks out as well.

17:44 Speaker 12: Yeah, excellent. And where did you the ep? Bad mind? Where did you record this? Because it sounds phenomenal.

17:52 Speaker 9: Yeah, Alex Gerst in Empire Sounds Studio and Dallas. He's absolutely a legend and the production is top quality. And to be honest with you, we had originally gone in there with a different vocalist and he and I have been friends for a long time. We recorded with his dad and we're kids and we were playing and vocal bands, and you know, making the CD was a huge deal. So we've known him for a long time. But he's like, dude, this music's too good. You got to find the right person. But he's absolutely a legend.

18:23 Speaker 9: I mean, he does a lot of a lot of stuff that people can google him and check him out. He definitely he's definitely like an additional member of the band when we're working on stuff.

18:34 Speaker 12: Yeah, oh that's great. And what's the what's the live situation? Like, are you able to uh, are you able to do some live shows or because when you've got a you've got a large lineup of people and obviously it's you know, like we said, it's multi generational. I'm sure everyone has different levels of commitments and obligations that they have to fulfill. So I'm really curious about the touring situation.

18:57 Speaker 9: Yeah, so we're we're playing tonight actually here locally and for worth. Actually, yeah, we're Everybody is very easy to work with and it is a multi uh generational. It's pretty funny. We've got we've got pretty much every decade covered. But yeah, it's something that we all enjoy and so we're able to make time for it. We rehearse sometimes every week, sometimes every other week, but uh, we have our shows basically scheduled a month apart. As far as the touring situation will probably be like Weekend Warriors for a while.

19:34 Speaker 9: On that we've got. I wish that I could break it right now because it'd be kind of a huge deal. But we've got a little mini tour. Yeah, we've got. I just can't I asked, Uh, I asked the person that's putting it on, and I can't do it yet, but uh, stand by for a huge announcement for a little mini tour down in Florida coming up in September.

19:52 Speaker 12: Oh, very cool, very cool. Yeah, is that where you're from? Are you all in Florida?

19:57 Speaker 13: We're from We're based in Dallas, tex Oh.

20:01 Speaker 12: That's right, right, yeah, but to get to Florida's probably not not too bad. What what's the scene like in Dallas right now? From what I've heard from other guests, it's pretty good. There's a lot of really good bands there is that. Is that true?

20:14 Speaker 13: Yeah? I would say that's pretty true. There's definitely a lot of live music down there, and there's different genres too, which is really cool.

20:23 Speaker 12: Excellent, excellent. Do you have other do you have other bands that you kind of you know, it tempts to happen organically. Are there other bands in the area that you've kind of teamed up with as far as playing out.

20:33 Speaker 9: For sure? Yeah, for sure. Initially your buddy Mike from Moonfallen we played their first show, was our first show also back in December.

20:43 Speaker 12: Yeah, oh, very cool.

20:45 Speaker 9: Yeah, so we kicked that. We kicked the whole thing off with a women and metal show that was five female fronted bands, and man, it really set the tone for everything that we have done because we hung out beforehand, did like a pre show photoshet and like seeing the girls with Abby and like, it was just really cool. It's like a networking type of thing that I think has really paid dividends for you know, the whole, the whole thing so far.

21:12 Speaker 12: Well, I can tell you ever since we met Mike Woolsey, he's been He's sent us so many We've met so many great Texas bands and artists through him. You know, he refers people to us, and and it's it's been really great. You know, he's a great guy, and it's we've met so much great talent through him. I mean, Jenny can attest to that too. You know, she does all the booking, and you know, we love whenever Mike refers anyone to us, we know it's going to be someone of great quality. I can't remember if we talked about this, h when you were on the show with us before, James, But you've also got and I referenced a father daughter duo in the band, which is pretty unusual Mike and Corey.

21:53 Speaker 9: Yeah, it's super funny. Man Like. So, Corey actually was a former student of mine when I was teaching school public school band. So she was a percussionist in one of my early bands. I was like, I don't know, maybe four years out of college or something, and she was a great percussion student. And I didn't really stay in touch with her. But I connected with her dad through a local flying club, like a general aviation club, and we kind of made the connection and it was like, what, like, your last name is Tulfa.

22:29 Speaker 9: That's a unique name. And he's like, oh my gosh, you're mister Smith from whatever. But both but both of them are super cool, like they're literally down for anything. Like I could call them up today and say, hey, you know, y'all want to go to jump in the car and go to road trip or something, and they'd be like, yeah, we're in. And I knew Corey's background. You know, the percussionists in a public school at least around here have to learn a lot of keyboarding skills, not just drums, so I knew that.

22:58 Speaker 9: I knew she would be perfect for or you know, to put behind a keyboard for samples and different stuff like that. And then Mike has played guitar. He's the oldest. I'm gonna out him on this. He's the oldest. He I think he's sixty two right now, but he looks like he's like like in his forties. But yeah, anyways, yeah, so he's the oldest sixty two, and Abby's youngest twenty. But anyways, Mike had Put has played guitar for a long time, huge kiss fan to the Freest Guy, and so yeah, so I knew I could wrangle him in, Like he's kind of like you just say the word, and both of them are like that.

23:34 Speaker 9: They just show up and they're down through anything.

23:36 Speaker 12: Mm hmmm, Oh excellent. Now, so who's responsible primarily for the songwriting? Because the songs are really good? You had sent us a couple of singles which we did play the last time we talked to you, James, but but then I ended up playing an extra song. I played that song I Hate You, which I love that is so so catchy. But who wrote these primarily? Like, who's the print songwriter around these?

24:03 Speaker 13: Yeah, I would say I do.

24:06 Speaker 14: James kind of gave me. He gave me the like the soundtracks. Yeah, And what I did was I would just songwrite over them. And since I used to do like well, I still do pop music. But since I do pop music, I.

24:18 Speaker 12: Kind of know how to make it kind of catchy, makes sense.

24:21 Speaker 13: I think that's why it's fun to like transform it into a rock song. It's really fun.

24:26 Speaker 12: Oh yeah, yeah, especially like I said, I Hate You as such a great hook. You know, it's infectious and uh no, really good stuff that makes sense. I mean, is that is that kind of your prior to being in A Waiting Abigail? Did did you ever you know, because obviously you you've written a lot of pop music, but had you ever written anything quite like this where you're going into it with that sort of rock sensibility or is this kind of new for you?

24:54 Speaker 13: This is kind of new for me, So.

24:55 Speaker 14: I think it's kind of cool to to met in what I've known and I'm kind of of learning.

25:00 Speaker 13: More as I go.

25:02 Speaker 12: Yeah. Yeah, well you're off to a great start. So that's excellent. That's excellent. And have you done any videos? Does A Waiting Abigail have any videos yet? Any music videos?

25:11 Speaker 13: Yeah?

25:12 Speaker 6: We do.

25:12 Speaker 14: We actually have two out. We have Bad Minds and then we also have Falling Under, which actually just came out.

25:18 Speaker 12: Okay, I gotta check that out. Yeah it out? Yeah, very cool, very cool. So what what is the what's kind of the future trajectory as far as new music? I know you've got some stuff you're working on, but this EP is relatively new, right, so you probably you probably aren't in a big hurry to get new stuff out, I would assume, but maybe not.

25:41 Speaker 9: Well, it's funny, Matt, because as you know, like the social media monster and you know, just the scene as it is, it's hungry and like if you feed it it once more and yeah, so we actually yeah, and so we've got like four or five.

25:58 Speaker 16: New originals and uh, I don't have an exact plan yet, but there definitely will will be more music in the next couple of months, probably like a single, A side B side thing and then maybe another EP before the end of the year.

26:12 Speaker 9: We write music really fast. It's just a matter of you know, getting into the studio. And we even work pretty quickly in the studio because uh, we go in there with a click track already with the scratch parts down. I use the same software as Alex, so we're able to Yeah, we're able to move. We're able to move pretty quickly. It's just a matter of actually balancing that with supporting it live. But yeah, it's definitely like, gosh, that thing's only been out since December, but like everybody digs all four songs and it's like we've got to get we've got to feed the monster.

26:49 Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, exactly, Yeah, that is a big challenge in the social media environment that we're in. You're right, and it's it's it's hard to keep up with it all too, you know, with so many different social media services and and so many different ways now that you can connect with fans, which is great in the sense that there are many ways that you can connect with fans, but also it can be a little overwhelming at times and trying to figure out how to navigate well, how do we how do we keep people interested?

27:15 Speaker 12: How do we keep people engaged? You know, engagement is a word that you hear a lot when we're talking about social media and marketing anything really, but but especially music, and how do you balance that with you also don't want to oversaturate and you want to make sure that whatever you're putting out isn't rushed, that it's of quality. So it's a lot too, it's a lot to kind of navigate through. But uh, you know, but but so far, it seems like you're doing great. You've definitely got some some momentum behind you.

27:44 Speaker 12: And I'm really excited to see what awaiting a gap. Uh, I can't say it all of a sudden, awaiting Abigail I'm excited to see, uh, to see what you have in the future and and you've got and I'm really excited too to hear what this big announcement is that you can't tell us yet, but can you give us a hint, any any hints you can offer.

28:06 Speaker 9: I could say, just it's gonna be Florida, it's gonna be September, and it's going to be a national act. Okay, yeah, yeah, little four day mini tour with them, and it'll definitely be somebody. It's somebody that people will definitely know, and it'll it's a great matchup for.

28:23 Speaker 12: Us, not a not a not a national act you might have mentioned earlier in the conversation by any chance, No, okay yet, Okay, okay, it's it's coming though, I'm sure it's coming.

28:35 Speaker 9: It's it's our goal.

28:36 Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, yeah, very good. Well listen, it's wonderful to speak to you both this morning. James, of course we had talked before, and Abigail, it's nice to meet you. And uh, absolutely, we'll definitely do this again in the future as you have more music coming out or and and if you want to come back on to when you can make make that announcement formally, Uh, you know, we we Jenny and I are both big fans and we want to support what you're doing. And I did get a lot of positive feedback too from from before when I played those songs on the show and I was thinking about ending the segment with I'm gonna let I told you what my personal favorite is, but I want to let the two of you choose, because I don't know if there's something you're pushing more than more than something else from the EP bad mind.

29:19 Speaker 12: But what would your what would your preference be, James and Abigail, what would your preference be that I that I closed the segment with.

29:26 Speaker 9: I'll let the little lady pick.

29:28 Speaker 12: Okay, I guess I.

29:33 Speaker 13: Hate you such your favorite?

29:35 Speaker 12: I would yeah, perfect, perfect, Yeah, I I hate you as my favorite.

51:21 Speaker 12: The bass. Yes, yes, well, welcome, by the way, I did enjoy we were talking off here. I really like that that bass solo there and braggadocio. That's really good.

51:31 Speaker 28: Thank you so much.

51:32 Speaker 12: That was fun to do that every band has to have a bass solo song. Well actually a lot of bands would disagree with that, but I'm all for.

51:39 Speaker 28: It anytime I can sneak one in there, I'm always psych.

51:43 Speaker 12: Absolutely absolutely man. And by the way, so I appreciate you guys traveling too. You know, we have a lot of artists on the show from various parts. We just talked to awaiting Abigail from Texas, of course, and they skyped in or what we're using in place of Skype now because Skype is apparently away. But usually you know, when people are joining us live in studio, they're usually you know, maybe within within an hour max. But you guys drove all the way down from Portland on a rainy Saturday morning.

52:09 Speaker 12: So I really appreciate that you're here.

52:11 Speaker 28: Yeah, absolutely pleasure.

52:12 Speaker 12: And of course our friend Nathan Hill, he's in the chat room. He was, he drove a long way too to get here. He was on the show recently, and uh so I think he's the one who actually connected us with you guys, who connected Jenny. Yes, but we've been aware of you for a long time. I certainly have in fact, j Bellow from Chasing the Devil he had said something about you guys in the chat room I think a couple weeks ago, and he might be listening, HJ And yeah, he said, because I think they did they play a show with you.

52:37 Speaker 12: Yeah, we resent with them.

52:39 Speaker 28: That was the last summer show.

52:40 Speaker 12: Yeah, no, Chasing the Devil's last July. Yeah, oh very cool. Great, dudes love Chasing the Devil.

52:47 Speaker 5: Would love to get, you know, hooked up with them again because they put on a hell of a show.

52:50 Speaker 12: So oh absolutely absolutely, Yeah, They're incredible. And I've known Jay forever, uh since back in his purge d I days. Yeah, long time, long time. But yeah, so I've been and uh,

53:02 Speaker 12: forgive me, my allergies have been out of control. And then I hope the rain washes away to the pollend, but it doesn't seem to work that way. So if I a couple of times, that's why I'm sorry. I'm not sick. I'm just uh, it's a it's a rough spring. But uh but yeah, so I've been aware of you guys for a while. I've seen you live. I can't remember where it was. It might have been a few years ago.

53:23 Speaker 28: Oh yeah, if you played a few years ago, we played We've played a couple of places in Manchester. We've played at Jewel right up the street, that's where it was, Okay, yeah, I remember.

53:32 Speaker 5: Jewel, And then last time we were down here we played at the Goat. We played with the Blackstone Cherry. It was a little mini run we did for we had our CD release, and then we played two shows back to back with Blackstone Cherry once in the Goat down here, and then we went to Wally's in.

53:46 Speaker 12: Hampton Beach to you know, oh, very cool, finish that out. So yeah, yeah, yeah, I remember seeing you guys a Jewel. That's that's the show I was at, and yeah, we were just very impressed. But you've been around for a while, like right, Parl's been around for at least five or six years.

54:00 Speaker 28: Right, Yeah, we started in about I think June of twenty eighteen, so it's been next month will be seven years for trial, So.

54:09 Speaker 12: Okay, yeah, same lineup or has that changed over the years.

54:13 Speaker 28: It just changed a little. Sean and I have been in the entire time, and we've known Adam and Justin for for a very long time and they've been friends and fellow musicians, and Adam and I were in a band together for a long time. But Justin on guitar came in almost five years ago, and then and then Adam came in three years ago. So we've been the same lineup for three years and I really feel like we've, in my opinion, kind of hit our stride with the line I feel like this is the lineup. Yeah.

54:45 Speaker 12: Yeah. In terms of your live shows, does any of the early material survives that carried forth?

54:51 Speaker 9: Oh? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

54:52 Speaker 5: We play a lot of you know, everything that we've written. We pretty much play okay, kind of in a rotation depending on you know, where we are, who we're playing with. We try to cater to the set, you know, who's there. You know, if it's heavier, we might tend to push ourselves a little bit in the heavier direction. But we play pretty much everything. I think there's two songs that we just kind of retired based on we wrote them and we like them, and then it's like, yeah, kind of outgrew it. It's just not it doesn't hit the way it hit when we wrote it.

55:23 Speaker 12: Yeah. I'm always curious because I've been in bands where sometimes if there's a change in members, you know, there's sometimes there might be somebody in the band who's like, ah, that's from before, we shouldn't do that, which which I would always fight against because I was always like I was in a band called My Life Crisis, which went through a lot of different permutations through through the years, and I was always like, well, I know these songs are from a from an old lineup, but still, you know these are songs that we made.

55:45 Speaker 12: I mean, we made this music. It's our music.

55:47 Speaker 18: A good song is a good song exactly worth it didn't play it exactly, and it's heartbreaking to have to retire something just because you know, like if you've got one guy in the band who's like, a, I don't want to play that anymore because you know that's tied to a previous lineup, and it's like, oh come on man.

56:02 Speaker 12: I've done that a few times.

56:03 Speaker 18: And it's like if the guy who left actually wrote the song like that was his baby, yeah kind of understand it.

56:07 Speaker 12: Yeah, I yeah, I can kind of understand. Although that ended up in the band I was talking about that I was in that that did become a big point of contention. It all worked out in the end, but yeah.

56:19 Speaker 28: Yeah, and we kind of like let the the people tell us what they want to hear too, because a lot of times we'll reach out and say, hey, what do you want to what do you want to see this weekend? And and some of our older songs people want want to see live. So we're you know, we actually close with car chard on and it's like it was one of the first songs we ever wrote, and it's literally been our closer for.

56:41 Speaker 12: Like our entirety of the band.

56:43 Speaker 5: Yeah really, yeah, yeah, it was the first song we recorded and put out, and honestly, like when we got it going, it was just a hey, we got to have something to show what we're doing, like we are playing shows. But car Chardon was the first one we recorded, and Seth sold like a bunch of comic books to help pay for it and stuff like that. Yeah, Like it was funny because the conversation we had the songs about a shark from the point of view of a shark. Yeah, and Seth sould the Batman comic book that had a shark on the cover, and we were about it was.

57:12 Speaker 28: Like Batman two fifty one there it is, Batman fights a Shark. It's the one with Joker on the cover with the with the actual playing card really and it's an iconic cover and I ended up parting ways with it to get the money to to go record that song. Yeah, but I don't regret it. I don't regret it, and I'll buy it back some days.

57:32 Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, exactly. You can always get it back later.

57:35 Speaker 5: First there we recorded, and it's been our closer ever since, just because we feel like it's just a fun song. Yeah, it always is a good time and people when we first played it. I remember the faces. People were like, Okay, they were getting into all the stuff we'd done and this song came on and they weren't anticipating what would happen towards the end of it, and they were like, what just occurred was not in my purview of what was going on this entire set. And so it's it's been one of those fun surprises.

58:01 Speaker 5: If you've never seen us and you come see this and you hear that song, you're like, what was that?

58:06 Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, that's pretty cool. Is it being a band from Portland?

58:11 Speaker 9: Is it? Uh?

58:12 Speaker 27: Is it?

58:13 Speaker 12: This might be a strange question. I don't know. Is it hard to stand out there when you're first starting to build a following because people say this about Boston, like, if you're a Boston band, there's so many Boston bands, it's hard to stand out, and like up here it's a little easier. But but Portland, for as long as I can remember, has always had a pretty incredible music scene too. It seems like there's a lot of really good bands in Portland. I mean, is that is it competitive? Like what's the I haven't I used to do a lot in Portland.

58:37 Speaker 12: I used to promote shows and stuff when I was more into that part of the business. But but but I've been kind of disengaged from Portland as a city for a long time, so I don't really know, like what the vibe is there now.

58:48 Speaker 28: Yeah, i'd say it is. It is tough to stand out. I think it's just about kind of finding your other peers, your other bands that like you fit well with, yeah, and kind of trying to create critical mass with like two or three bands that like everyone will come out and see and the and the audience makes sense, which has been a rotating cast over the years because a lot of bands, you know, fall off and break up and new bands are always popping up, so we're always trying to find new bands to play with that that are exciting to us, that we like their sound.

59:20 Speaker 28: But Portland in general is is tough because you've got a lot of tourism and you kind of got this whole upper end rising up with all the you know, luxury condos and whatnot, and so you've got you've got kind of two Portland's. You know, you got the the sort of the tourists and and sort of higher priced end, and then you've got your your bars and clubs and you know, sort of the local scene end. And and there's a lot of clubs that don't cater to rock and metal, and there's a there's a few that do, and those are always a moving target.

59:53 Speaker 28: And uh, it's it's been tough through the pandemic, like
