Speaker 18: Yeah, pushing. It's been a wonderful journey.
Speaker 19: Yes, it's a very interesting journey. I'm just you know, the drummer in the band.
Speaker 2: Do my part.
Speaker 19: I do screen printing, simple stuff, mostly bands, but I guess it could really apply to anything. So if you need scrimprint and just check out the Turbocats on Facebook and you can message us.
Speaker 18: We'll take care of Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, very good, very good, and please follow us, yes, yes, all right.
Speaker 18: And so I am Wesley Dolan. I play guitar and Turbocats. I also write a lot of the music and also do vocals, and it's been a super fun time. I love playing with these guys and we all have a special part in the band.
Speaker 2: All right, very good, and you.
Speaker 18: My name is Chris Bean.
Speaker 2: I play bass.
Speaker 20: I do vocals to written a song or two more to come, yeah, more to come to So that's really exciting and.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, very good. Ready, very good, very good. So you've got some new You got a couple of new songs actually that we're going to feature today. One of them I'm particularly excited about that. I I'd mentioned that I definitely only wanted to play first on the show today. Now, local listeners in Manchester, New Hampshire, of course, will be very familiar with the subject matter of this song. But
Speaker 2: but but a Cadillac Motel, which I love such a great the song. Not I've never actually been inside the building, but but tell us about this for for people who are not in the area who might not know about the Cadillac Motel.
Speaker 18: Okay, so I'll start it off by saying this. So one of my favorite musical artists is lou Reid from Velvet Underground. He's a huge inspiration on me. And there was one day where I was thinking about lou Reid and I feel like he was really good at kind of He was in the New York music scene, and he was really good at kind of like capturing certain vibes from New York and certain places and talking about like maybe the more dingier side of things, not always the most PG stuff, especially at the time but I really like that idea how he would just kind of write about things that were around him and stuff like that.
Speaker 18: Yeah, so I was kind of inspired to write my kind of lou Read inspired song. So I was kind of thinking, like, well, what could I write about in Manchester where I could kind of have the same vibe as like a Lou Reed song. And for those listeners who don't know the Cadillac Motel, it's located on Chestnut Street. They have a slogan called stay a night or a Lifetime, So that just kind of sets up the vibe for the place where maybe there's been some shady things that have gone down there in the past. And we figured it was a Manchester staple and it was a great thing to write about.
Speaker 18: So I immediately just got out my pen and pad a paper and that song literally just came out of me. It was almost like I feel like the best songs I write, I don't even think about them, they just kind of come out. And if you come to Manchester, you got to drive by it at least because it has a lot of character. Yes, you know a lot of stories that have lived within those walls. Sure is the place to check out.
Speaker 2: And now have you approached the management there and and said, hey, do you want to use the song in some way to promote your establishment?
Speaker 18: So I haven't, but honestly, that would be super cool. I was totally thinking about it. Yeah, I mean we might as well. We've we've thought about just renting a room there for maybe a few hours or a nighttime just to get the true or.
Speaker 2: A lifetime yeah, or a lifetime for life.
Speaker 18: Maybe we'll like it so much we don't want to leave.
Speaker 2: Oh boy, Well, we should play this and then we'll come back and chat some more. I'm dying to play this. This is so good if you're just joining us. We've got Turbocats here with us in studio, and here it is rand new track from the turbot from see I keep doing it from TURBOI we had a whole I should explain to the audience. We had a whole conversation off air about I was asking these guys, is it Turbocats or the Turbocats. Pretty sure it was just Turbocats. But there's uh, there's a lot of bands that are plagued by that, you know, whether to include the the the you know, like, uh, you know I I told these guys, uh Jim that you weren't here yet.
Speaker 2: But I was talking about how growing up, talking Heads was always one of my favorite bands. But my entire childhood I thought it was the talking Heads, and eventually I realized it was just talking Heads. So so I'm trying to be very precise, but it is Turbocats, not the Turbocats. And check this out. I love this. This is called Cadillac Motel.
Speaker 4: I've been busted, I been disgusted.
Speaker 1: I pig shot down.
Speaker 14: I penned down.
Speaker 7: How you been like a.
Speaker 14: Hotel, stay a night for a lifetime?
Speaker 4: Hunchester on the street.
Speaker 1: In the six o three?
Speaker 14: How the cattle that hotelco?
Speaker 1: I haven't lost him.
Speaker 21: I've been discusting, I've been shot down, Ida, Hardy Motel,
Speaker 21: Harley Motel.
Speaker 6: How are you count this hotel?
Speaker 4: Hardy Hotel, stay night or a light?
Speaker 2: I love it. I love it. It's motel right yep. That was another thing we talked about off airs a motel or hotel. I love that you did capture that lou read vibe. I think, oh, thank you so much, well done, Well done, guys. Turbocats is here with us in studio. And that's one of the brand new songs. Now, what's the plan for these, because you've got you've got two brand new songs that we're playing today, and then if you know, if we have time, we'll get in some of some of the older stuff too from the last time you were with us.
Speaker 2: But actually before before we talk about that, we have a call. Let's see who's on the line. Hello, caller, you're on the air.
Speaker 22: Oh, snaps Jim. To show my support for the turbocats. I have a turbocat on top of me right now. It's pretty cool and yeah, just decided to listen in to some turbocats on ninety point five three?
Speaker 18: Nice. What's the turbocat's name? We got to rep the cats.
Speaker 22: Name on are He's like, he's one of those orange guys.
Speaker 18: Nice, love the Orange guys.
Speaker 22: Yeah, getting.
Speaker 2: The great.
Speaker 22: Oh yeah, that was a good track track.
Speaker 18: Oh thank you?
Speaker 2: Cool? Yeah, thanks, we'll be playing it again this afternoon.
Speaker 18: You'll hear us.
Speaker 22: Well, awesome, All right, I'm gonna I think that was about it.
Speaker 18: Can we get a mood? Yeah before you hang up?
Speaker 22: All right, but.
Speaker 2: Oh, I guess.
Speaker 18: Request Some people are modest about yeah, what is that a moo?
Speaker 14: Yeah?
Speaker 18: Moo yeah? Oh yeah yeah. So I'm pretty sure I coined unless if someone else that. I don't know if coined it before me. But so I had a black and white cat. Unfortunately she's over the Rainbow Bridge now okay, but I had her for over ten years. Her name was Pepper, Oh my pep cat. But I wrote a song called My Cat Looks Like a Cow, which is on our last album, and it's about my cat pet in her looking like a cow. So in the song I coined the term moo yow because I'm like, well, if a cat was actually mixed with the cow, what sound would it make?
Speaker 23: Mo?
Speaker 2: Yeah that makes sense.
Speaker 18: Yeah, yeah, you're still there. Maybe we could get a mood.
Speaker 22: I kind of missed that last part about the request.
Speaker 18: Oh yeah, can we hear it now? Can you give us our best moo yoo?
Speaker 22: Oh yeah, moo yoo? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Well done?
Speaker 18: Yes, you get a shirt?
Speaker 2: Oh very nice. All right, So I want to talk about the other new song before we get caught up on everything you guys have been up to actually, and then we'll talk about what you're gonna be doing with these But I'm dying to talk about this, because again and Jimmy weren't here for this, but we had an off air conversation about this. So I learned something from Wes about well tell tell us about the backstory of UFO and the six O three.
Speaker 18: Okay, So, on the same lines as Cadillac Motel, I kind of wanted to start writing some lot of songs that were local and kind of true to people who listen to us who live around here and stuff like that. So another thing which I feel like puts New Hampshire kind of on the map is that the first alien abduction that was reported actually took place in New Hampshire and it was a couple, Betty and Barney Hill, and it was in the fifties, I believe, and they were driving up north and basically they saw a bunch of lights and spooky stuff going on, and they basically had a blackout period where they both kind of there's this time lapse where they can't account for and they don't really know what happened, and they started kind of having these like reoccurring dreams of aliens basically like examining them and taking them on their ship.
Speaker 18: And it's really interesting because they ended up actually getting a psychologist to basically hypnotize them and kind of try and have them recall some of these memories and things that happened. And the thing that was really crazy was that the psychologist actually got them to both share things of their experience, and a lot of what each part of the couple was saying actually corroborated what the other one was saying. So, I mean, I think UFOs are alive and well, especially in the six ZHO three.
Speaker 18: And there's one little more bit to the story is that we have a lot of friends up north, so we play a lot of shit shows up north. The Unwells are a great band from up north. Timmy Heist in the four five six. But every time we drive up north to play those shows, I always think about this alien abduction because it could happen to us. It could happen to anyone, and who knows, maybe it did at one point with us, because I think there probably was, yeah, going through the notch. I think there was one time that we were driving up and there actually is a moment of time that was actually unaccounted for for us, really yeah, And the next thing we knew, we were at the Rock and roll Show ready to play.
Speaker 18: So I have has a double meaning.
Speaker 2: Well, so I didn't know this. This is the part that I learned when we were talking off era that that was the first there's was the first documented alien abduction or the first reported however you want to say it. I didn't know that. Yeah, so very very interesting. Well let's give this a listen, uh UFO and the six O three. Do you have the title right? Yepka, yep, right here it is, and this is turbocats brand new from Turbocats.
Speaker 24: Dot ye you.
Speaker 25: We'll try to.
Speaker 4: Show Black Barty his dad.
Speaker 7: Saw something that game chill.
Speaker 1: Boa and the six.
Speaker 14: BOM and the six BOM and the six.
Speaker 1: BOM and the six O tody.
Speaker 25: Ser bash fights.
Speaker 21: I did that, Sid wasn't right, shot a chill stream back saw.
Speaker 13: The chill apart. Oh when the six old with the six old, when the six sound, when.
Speaker 7: The six O M M.
Speaker 9: Table? Maybe get in Samon names out six.
Speaker 2: Six U f O on the six oh three brand new from turbocats. And we have Turbocats here with us live in studio. Yeah, that's another great track. Guys.
Speaker 18: Oh, thank you so much.
Speaker 2: You absolutely so. What is the what is the plan. And with the new songs, it's the two new ones that we're featuring today.
Speaker 18: So I think basically our plan is that we were basically gonna release these two new tracks that everyone just heard on all our streaming platforms and all of that sort of stuff as we continue to work on the new album kind of as a teaser, just to get people excited, just so they can kind of see where our new sound is going. Yeah, hopefully they enjoy it, and then when we finish our full length album, then we'll drop it as a whole and those two new songs will be on the new.
Speaker 2: Album Outstanding Outstanding. Well, I thought we had somebody on the line, but oh they're not there. Try again call or if you'd like, but no, very cool. Now do you have any kind of an ETA on when.
Speaker 22: One?
Speaker 18: So it seems like it's going pretty quick. After recording our last album, where we were doing a lot of like trial and error sort of stuff, it seems like with the new one we have a very good method down. Which we do. Have to throw a lot of props to Jim over here because it's still learning. Yeah, we're learning, we learn as we go, but he has a lot of great audio equipment so we can actually record at our practice space, and Jim's put a lot of work into perfecting the art. I shall say, okay, and this recording process is going a lot quicker than the last one.
Speaker 18: Okay, so it should be it should be done pretty quickly. I think maybe like a couple of months.
Speaker 2: Talk Oh wow, yeah, oh cool, yeah, awesome.
Speaker 18: We do it all in house, so for us, it's you know, we can mix it, master it, do all that all ourselves.
Speaker 2: Oh that's that's great. Yeah, that's great.
Speaker 18: And it gives it that punk DIY ethos too, which we all love so much.
Speaker 2: It does, it does, but it still sounds great too. Sonically, it sounds really really good. Thank you and Jim you also, so we should mention too. I think we alluded to it earlier. But the shirts, so you're you're screen screen screenprint all being a DIY, you screenprint all these yourself, right yeah?
Speaker 19: Yeah, basically you know this studio where we're set up, I've got a room where you know, I've set up for screen printing. I just started doing our own work and then other bands would ask me to do work, and you know, I've done a couple of businesses and whatnot.
Speaker 2: Excellent.
Speaker 19: I've been upgrading the equipment and yeah, set up to do you know, basic screen printing work. Yeah, you know, yeah, and their quality shirts. Yeah, they come out really nice. People have been happy. I mean I've been at for about eight years now. Oh okay, it's eight years, and you know I haven't had any problems.
Speaker 2: That's great. Thing, that's great. Now, are you guys doing anything from each other than shirts or just shirts? So far?
Speaker 18: Stickers. I put some stuff up on etsyed.
Speaker 19: You know, it's some print on demand using our Logoh so people want like, you know, coffee mugs, t shirts, hoodies.
Speaker 18: I've got some of those items up there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, print on demand excellent, excellent.
Speaker 18: And there is actually a new logo up on the Etsy side too, yeah, which really really cool. Yeah. We actually played a show recently at the Bungalow and one of the other bands that played gone in contact with us after and they liked our music so much and they ended up drying up this mock design almost like a new Turbocat's logo.
Speaker 2: Oh wow.
Speaker 18: So we ended up purchasing it from him because it was a super cool rad logo. So that's also up on our Etsy what Jim was talking about. So we had the classic logo which is on your shirt, and then we have the new logo too. Oh okay, there's many options, so check out our Etsy site. There's a lot of good stuff there.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, absolutely, we should play one of the let's play one of the older ones. What do you guys want to?

Speaker 19: It started was I was in a band called Slow Coyote and we didn't have a bassist. So we, you know, what's let's find a guitarist and have him played bass for us. So we found Wes Yeah, and you know, he went out and bought a bass started playing bass, and then the lead singer guitarist for that band, you know, left for New Orleans and we were kind of stuck behind, and Wes had been doing a solo thing for quite a while, so it's like, hey, let's let's rock out my solo songs.
Speaker 18: So we started there.
Speaker 19: And then he's like, hey, you know a friend of mine that I used to be in a band with a long time ago and grew up with, Chris, would be interested. So Chris came on board, and it's just you know it, It worked from there. Yeah, you know, so it's been great worked out.
Speaker 18: You want to share your origins bass and turbo cast?
Speaker 20: Yeah, because I remember I was well, I was not playing in a band at the time, and I saw your post on Facebook, I believe, saying, oh looking for a bass player, and I'm like, oh, well, dude, hit me up, I'll play. You know, I love playing so yeah, and it's been love ever since. I love playing with these guys.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 20: I feel like they've made me a better musician for sure. Okay, that's also one thing I love with playing with them.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 20: And yeah, I've known I've known Wes near like my whole life. Yeah, and I met Jim through Wes, through this band, and it's just been a really tight group since.
Speaker 18: Okay, okay, Yeah, we're all very close friends, which helps just relaxed.
Speaker 2: There's never tension. Yeah, we just get along so well, come up to.
Speaker 18: You know, agree things so easily.
Speaker 2: Yeah. No, that's a no ca. Yeah, Uh we should play because this also came up in the conversation uh with uh was it with uh Cisco? Yeah? Or was it with my cruising for ZAO And you mentioned Zaza Wes you said, I think's an important part.
Speaker 18: Of your Oh definitely. Yeah. So, and it's funny this this song actually has a little bit of a backstory, but I lived in Boston for a while in my early to mid twenties, and a lot of my friends that lived there. I don't know if they coined this term or where it came from, but they would always talk about pizza as za, okay, which I always thought sounded ridiculous, but I've always thought about it, So I kind of just started adopting that term aged because I thought it sounded ridiculous, yeah, calling pizza za, but that I grew to really like it.
Speaker 18: Yeah, And this song is also about when I played in a punk band when I was in high school. Uh, we just would basically eat nothing but pizza, and it was always a fun time. You know, think of like grabbing some pizza, going to punk shows, washing in the pit a little bit. So Yeah, I feel like there's a lot of good memories tied to pizza, and this was kind of just a song about that.
Speaker 2: Pizza is my favorite food.
Speaker 18: Oh I agree. Yeah, we knew we liked you for a reason. Yeah, Cat, I like all the same stuff, all.
Speaker 2: The good things. Yeah, that's right. Some of it. I'm trying not to eat the you know, the meat lovers is probably too much at some point. All that I know, all that pepperoni, though, I'm trying to not eat pepperoni anymore. It's processed and it's bad for you.
Speaker 18: Oh my god. Before we played this song, we should each member of the band should share their favorite type of pizza. Oh there you go, Chris, what's your favorite type of pizza? Beach pizza?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like beach pizza. Some people don't get it, but I like it.
Speaker 23: For me.
Speaker 18: I would honestly just say, like a New York style plain cheese or pepperoni is what I'm rocking.
Speaker 19: I was gonna say an schovies, but you know that brings back memories, probably like a veggie, you know, Mediterranean style, and you know, pineapple pizza is pretty good.
Speaker 2: Don't do that to me. Look, I'm not a religious person, but I do feel that. I do feel that pineapple on pizza is a sin against making it worse. Oh god, Oh my god.
Speaker 18: So funny. That is the ultimate debate.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it really is. I shouldn't be, it shouldn't be.
Speaker 18: All right, let's play this.
