Speaker 25: been on together and you've got this new collaboration hot Wax,
Speaker 25: the brand new EP.
Speaker 12: Congratulations on that, thanks so.
Speaker 25: Much, absolutely absolutely what uh what brought this about that
Speaker 25: the two of you working together?
Speaker 12: I saw you play live. I think it was at
Speaker 12: Oh was that Jewel spelfy Fest Spelfie Fest?
Speaker 7: Correct?
Speaker 25: And uh that was And that was the first time
Speaker 25: I knew that the two of you were working together
Speaker 25: when I when I saw you on stage together.
Speaker 5: And what was that?
Speaker 12: Was that the beginning of this or they're working to
Speaker 12: the other prior to that?
Speaker 2: It was about our fifth fifth I think that was
Speaker 2: our fifth Right, we're around.
Speaker 7: There, I mean at least from this side of the fence.
Speaker 7: That first of all, good morning you guys, Yes, you guys,
Speaker 7: Good morning John j Matt Well, thank you, good morning.
Speaker 12: Good morning.
Speaker 26: Sunshine.
Speaker 7: I think this this was like a spur of the
Speaker 7: moment thing because I I you can probably correct me
Speaker 7: if I'm wrong, but uh, we were kind of like
Speaker 7: morphing the idea of like me filling in for a
Speaker 7: couple of like live shows. Yeah, last year, as let's
Speaker 7: see what would like what would happen? Yeah, and at
Speaker 7: least from your side of the fence. I think that's
Speaker 7: how it started. Where what was it? The first one
Speaker 7: at the Jungle.
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, it was the Jungle. I mean I was,
Speaker 2: you know, I was playing solo shows and for.
Speaker 7: A long time for yeah, I've been oh yeah, so.
Speaker 2: He's twenty eighteen. It's twenty seventeen.
Speaker 12: I've been Yeah, you even came here and playing, Yeah,
Speaker 12: did your whole great time.
Speaker 2: I'm here to play in solo set. And of course
Speaker 2: I have keyboards, so I have, you know, instruments that
Speaker 2: I backtrack. And so I saw that tracks was available
Speaker 2: and as far as looking to do stuff, and I was,
Speaker 2: I'm looking to, you know, bolster up my sound live
Speaker 2: and make it, you know, make it come out pop more.
Speaker 2: And so I reached out to Thracks and stead do
Speaker 2: you interested and playing live with me? And yeah, It's
Speaker 2: like sure, why not? And so I sent them some
Speaker 2: some tracks and stuff, demo stuff to to go over,
Speaker 2: and you know, I kind of already was in my
Speaker 2: groove and so you know, thankfully Thrax leaned into it
Speaker 2: and really really picked up the songs like incredibly fast.
Speaker 2: And then we like I like to say, uh, you know,
Speaker 2: we're really born live because that's the first thing we
Speaker 2: ever did was play live together before we even practice.
Speaker 25: When you reached out to him, did you did were
Speaker 25: you confident that he was going to say yes? Or
Speaker 25: because obviously he's in Because I think there's that even
Speaker 25: a federal law now that every drummer has to be
Speaker 25: in like fifteen different bands at the same time.
Speaker 12: There is, Yeah, there is currently.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's hard to get around that.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I was.
Speaker 2: I knew, of course, I met tracks and been on
Speaker 2: bills with tracks and several different variations cosmic thank d
Speaker 2: H and so you know, I knew thracks. But you know,
Speaker 2: it was just the time when he did. He didn't
Speaker 2: have five.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I was in a wole period. Oh, I was
Speaker 7: only in like two projects.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was.
Speaker 2: It was so you know, I'm saying so like, I'm
Speaker 2: an opportunist, I'm a DIY queen.
Speaker 12: Yeah.
Speaker 7: So that's how I roll.
Speaker 2: And I'm always looking around and saying, you know, and
Speaker 2: I want to you know, I've tried to play with
Speaker 2: other artists and I've you know, I have played with
Speaker 2: other artists in different situations, and it really never has
Speaker 2: totally worked out.
Speaker 12: Yeah, and so.
Speaker 2: I was hoping, you know, that it would with tracks
Speaker 2: because I know he's a great drummer and and so
Speaker 2: so we we gave it a go, which it's just like, yeah,
Speaker 2: give it go, see what happens, you know, do some
Speaker 2: live stuff, have fun.
Speaker 7: And then that's where our coin our coin motto of uh,
Speaker 7: just like we rehearsed because we didn't really have time
Speaker 7: to get together the first time to rehearse anything really,
Speaker 7: so like I had to just listen to some of
Speaker 7: the songs that she had on U for a list,
Speaker 7: and we we we met up at the well, we
Speaker 7: met up at the gig and then tried it out.
Speaker 12: Okay, yeah, Like.
Speaker 2: The first musical thing we ever did was a live
Speaker 2: show at Jungle.
Speaker 12: Oh wow, no kidding. Where where's that? By the way, Jungle.
Speaker 2: Jungle, that's the Summerville Summerville down in Boston music little
Speaker 2: music community stage. It's actually one of the one of
Speaker 2: the best under two hundred people places that you can
Speaker 2: actually you know, get a live stage, a real stage experience. Okay,
Speaker 2: that's my legit feeling about the Jungle. They got a
Speaker 2: great sound in one of the best stages for under
Speaker 2: two hundred people.
Speaker 12: No kidding, Okay, I didn't even know about it, but
Speaker 12: that that's good to know. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're always you know, they're always putting people. I've
Speaker 2: I've played there several times. We played there about three twice.
Speaker 2: I think the last time we played was with What
Speaker 2: a Trash Robot?
Speaker 7: And yeah, what was the that that that older gentleman's band?
Speaker 2: Shoot, I can't remember. It was, uh oh Trees Fantastic Trees.
Speaker 7: Fantastic Trees was so good.
Speaker 16: Yeah.
Speaker 27: So like.
Speaker 7: It's definitely eclectic out there for for the what indie scene,
Speaker 7: indie rock scene.
Speaker 2: Well yeah, and I feel like when we played, like
Speaker 2: after people would come up to us and like give
Speaker 2: us positive feedback. Yeah, you know, never got like just
Speaker 2: the courtesy feedback. It was always how long have you
Speaker 2: guys been playing together?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Cool?
Speaker 7: The first time someone actually show and said that, like,
Speaker 7: like how long have you guys been playing? It sounds
Speaker 7: like years.
Speaker 12: Oh that's cool.
Speaker 7: Yeah, we ran with it great. Yeah, and and and
Speaker 7: then I think like, what after our third third show,
Speaker 7: that's when we had our practice. Yeah wow, actually.
Speaker 2: Right, and then we actually practice, we're like, yeah, we
Speaker 2: still do it good practice too.
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's great.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean it takes you know, a lot
Speaker 2: of effort. I know on traxis part because you know,
Speaker 2: some of my songs have already kind of predetermined, you know,
Speaker 2: how it goes right, and so you know, it takes
Speaker 2: a special kind of drummer that can do that and
Speaker 2: then add their own you know, power to it. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and that's I feel like that's what came across, has
Speaker 2: come across in our album Hot Wax. Is you know,
Speaker 2: the the solidity, the solidness of the drumming elevates the
Speaker 2: songs and the music and everything I do. And it's
Speaker 2: like it makes me thrilled. I've listened to these songs
Speaker 2: on Hot Wax a thousand times. Yeah, and I'm listening
Speaker 2: for to critique myself, and I'm just like enjoying it
Speaker 2: every time.
Speaker 25: Is it just easier too, from a from a technical
Speaker 25: standpoint when playing live? Is just easier to have a
Speaker 25: live drummer? Uh no, no, No, that would be really
Speaker 25: really no.
Speaker 2: It would be easier just to have my keyboards just
Speaker 2: follow and do whatever the heck I want him to do. Yeah,
Speaker 2: And that was easier, just like I could stop in
Speaker 2: the middle of my song and as long as I
Speaker 2: held the right notes, the right chords, you know it
Speaker 2: would hold for me. Okay, Well, I mean with humans.
Speaker 2: You know you can't put humans in a holding pattern, right,
Speaker 2: you know? A song is a song, Yeah, and it
Speaker 2: moves along. It doesn't stop like because you know you
Speaker 2: feel like it to stop, right unless you do. But otherwise,
Speaker 2: you know, you got to keep moving. And there's a
Speaker 2: there's a rhythm and a syncopation and a synergy that
Speaker 2: comes along with playing with a live person versus yeah,
Speaker 2: say my my drum track okay, yeah, okay, yeah, And
Speaker 2: so it just takes it takes more effort to do that,
Speaker 2: to combine the two, but it's more rewarding two to
Speaker 2: have it, you know, come out or you know, people
Speaker 2: are like, oh my goodness, especially right, no doubt. You
Speaker 2: know we can tell things that people can't tell.
Speaker 25: Ye now, tracks for you? Is this the most unique
Speaker 25: thing you've done in terms of music? You've done a
Speaker 25: lot of different different projects, But I mean, is this
Speaker 25: because because who I am? I mean, this is you know,
Speaker 25: it's unique. I can't think of anybody who sounds quite
Speaker 25: like who I am?
Speaker 7: Correct? And I think yes, because like, uh, I'm usually
Speaker 7: predominantly punk or rock metal something, so this is like
Speaker 7: a a first chance into like electro pop or something
Speaker 7: of dance music esque, like a discotheche type of uh genre.
Speaker 7: And like Lacy has a lot of different areas that
Speaker 7: it's not even just dance music. There's like message is
Speaker 7: and there's you know, uplifting stuff, and there's everything that
Speaker 7: you ever need or want out of like a dance
Speaker 7: song or a pop song. Like even even the song
Speaker 7: that reminds me of the Gorillas, it's not on the
Speaker 7: on the EP, but like your other song, your regular song,
Speaker 7: it reminds me of like something that that the Gorillas
Speaker 7: would do back in the day and like and that's
Speaker 7: like something that's not categorizable. That like the thing the
Speaker 7: uniqueness of at least coming out with something that's not
Speaker 7: traditional is kind of things that I gravitate towards no
Speaker 7: matter what, whether it be pop or rock or whatever.
Speaker 7: It is, Like I don't fall into traditional stuff, Like
Speaker 7: I like alternative stuff. I like anything that's a little
Speaker 7: bit risque or a little bit rough around the edge
Speaker 7: is case in points, yes, but also case and point
Speaker 7: shout out. Shout out to Frankie Frankie Frankie from the
Speaker 7: Melted Chapsticks, who we are performing with later at a
Speaker 7: photys Taburn in nash But I like the way that
Speaker 7: he goes about music as well, that you know, he
Speaker 7: doesn't hold it to a traditional standard of like I'm
Speaker 7: going to play punk music and this is what it is,
Speaker 7: like it's its own feel, the own its own vibe. Yeah,
Speaker 7: the same thing, same thing for your for your music,
Speaker 7: lacing that like you have a very confident, confident with
Speaker 7: what you're creating. And I and I, I like a
Speaker 7: person that's willing to go outside of the box, willing
Speaker 7: to go outside of the the thinking pattern and like,
Speaker 7: oh what if I just do this? Or what would
Speaker 7: happen if I do this? So is it the most
Speaker 7: unique thing that I've done? More more than likely? Yes,
Speaker 7: as a as a broad statement, but I like this
Speaker 7: type of uniqueness that makes sense.
Speaker 25: Totally does Yeah, absolutely well. By the way, on Facebook,
Speaker 25: Andrea Dumont is in the Facebook laf chat and says
Speaker 25: good morning family, Andre Andre of course from Dad Harrison,
Speaker 25: whom you're in a band with. So why the name Tracks?
Speaker 25: Why use a different name for this? And where does
Speaker 25: the name Tracks come from? I'm super curious about that.
Speaker 7: Yeah, of course I know. This is this is what
Speaker 7: happens when you have friends in the industry and they
Speaker 7: start asking you actual questions. Yeah, so my name is
Speaker 7: Axel obviously, Uh everybody knows at least more more often
Speaker 7: than not, more people know me as Axel. Yeah, even
Speaker 7: before then if the real people know me as Smitty
Speaker 7: Smitty Werbin Yieggerman Jensen.
Speaker 12: That's a long name.
Speaker 7: Is that Swedish or what he was number one? Wow,
Speaker 7: it's a SpongeBob reference. Okay, but like only only only
Speaker 7: true o G. Manchester people would know that. But yeah,
Speaker 7: my name is Axel, and that's just how I was
Speaker 7: given that name. Yeah, but like I don't like it
Speaker 7: how it's associated with Rose every bleep in time, every time.
Speaker 12: And you don't even spell it the same way.
Speaker 7: No, of course not. But I couldn't be associated with
Speaker 7: with actual Foley or anybody else. It has to be.
Speaker 2: But ever since I was a kid, ever since I
Speaker 2: was a kid, it's what's your last name?
Speaker 7: Rose? Like, I can't tell you how many times I've
Speaker 7: I've heard that, even to this day, even to this day,
Speaker 7: it's a thing. I'm kind of sick of it.
Speaker 12: I don't blame you.
Speaker 7: So that being said, like I've been trying to more
Speaker 7: or less come up with a different moniker to get
Speaker 7: away from that. But that wasn't cheesy something that like
Speaker 7: at least it was mine that I can like step
Speaker 7: away from from that. So I guess, like worldwide, I
Speaker 7: guess premiering this that that's my middle name. Oh, Thrax
Speaker 7: is my actual middle name, no kidding, So it was
Speaker 7: given that wow, And I mean you can you can
Speaker 7: summarize your own opinions about it, but like it literally
Speaker 7: came came from the band Anthrax. Yeah, that was my
Speaker 7: my mom's favorite band, or no, that was my my
Speaker 7: biological father's favorite band. And Axel Rose because my mom
Speaker 7: loved guns and roses appetite for destruction. I swear to
Speaker 7: you that with with with those two, like I've been
Speaker 7: using axel for so long. Yeah, I'm like, Axel is
Speaker 7: a cool name. I guess, I guess.
Speaker 12: And you don't spell it the same way as Axel
Speaker 12: rose even.
Speaker 7: Right, it's a X I L E S. Yeah, but
Speaker 7: either which way you say axel phonetically?
Speaker 10: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah. When I first I think the first time I
Speaker 2: met you, when I think you came on my show, yeah,
Speaker 2: and you said you know, I was asking like, okay,
Speaker 2: who is everybody? And you said, I'm gonna go with you.
Speaker 2: You're like, okay, I'm gonna get because you know, not
Speaker 2: everybody is ready to be asked that question, like okay,
Speaker 2: who who's your what's your name? Ask a creative what
Speaker 2: the name is, and they're like, hold on, let me
Speaker 2: think about this. And so you said I'm going with
Speaker 2: Tracks and I was like tracks.
Speaker 7: That is a great name.
Speaker 2: That's such a great name. And so it stuck with me,
Speaker 2: you know. I mean we didn't get together like a
Speaker 2: couple of years later, a few years later, but yeah,
Speaker 2: but always stuck with me. So I was like, when
Speaker 2: when we started playing, I was like, you know, people
Speaker 2: want to have us on a bill and stuff. I
Speaker 2: was like, okay, well, well what are we?
Speaker 12: What are we?
Speaker 2: You know who I am? But but I'm not just
Speaker 2: who I am. Now, there's that's that's not that's not
Speaker 2: really it's not just who I am. Yeah, that's how
Speaker 2: I was like, well who I am in Thrax? I mean, yeah,
Speaker 2: it's got a nice bring through it.
Speaker 12: Yeah, it does, it really does.
Speaker 7: And I like how you came up with the name
Speaker 7: for the Yeah, the album itself. Oh yeah, wax because
Speaker 7: of how who I am Thrax you put them together,
Speaker 7: it's wax.
Speaker 12: Yeah.
Speaker 7: I was like, oh that is and it is perfect.
Speaker 25: And it's hot with two t's and wax with two x's, right,
Speaker 25: yeah hot wax. Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, I dig it.
Speaker 25: Oh we should talk about too. Just before we go
Speaker 25: to I'm gonna put the camera back on me for
Speaker 25: a minute so I can hold this up. So for
Speaker 25: people watching online, if you're watching on Facebook or YouTube

Speaker 12: And this USB drive has the EP on it.
Speaker 2: Yes it does, it does. We we have dropped our
Speaker 2: album unaccustomized USB.
Speaker 7: World wide, worldwide.
Speaker 12: Very cool.
Speaker 2: And on the USB you can hear the complete album,
Speaker 2: all four songs and they if you put them in
Speaker 2: any USB place that plays music, your car, your computer,
Speaker 2: it'll automatically play the album from beginning to end.
Speaker 12: Very cool.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's four songs EP and on there is a
Speaker 2: bunch of bonus materials. What I'd like to call waxtras
Speaker 2: and that's a five minute collage video of us playing
Speaker 2: Hot Wax songs live and the song information, bio information
Speaker 2: about who I am in Thrax, also pictures and fun
Speaker 2: images that were created for song art album art album
Speaker 2: liner notes.
Speaker 12: Oh so there's a lot in there.
Speaker 2: There's a whole bunch of that's really cool stuff in
Speaker 2: there that you can listen to and look at and
Speaker 2: have fun with.
Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, no, that's awesome.
Speaker 2: We'll have them at the show.
Speaker 12: And it sounds like it probably plays more places than
Speaker 12: the New Lord CD.
Speaker 25: Does y'all know about that? No, we talked about that
Speaker 25: last week with the New Lord CD. It's a clear
Speaker 25: it's a completely clear CD. It's completely transparent, you can
Speaker 25: look right through it. But it doesn't play on a
Speaker 25: lot of players.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's not even a CD. It's that plastic piece
Speaker 7: of CD that you get when you have blank you
Speaker 7: have the blank CD, the tower of blank CDs that
Speaker 7: that top that sits on there. Yeah, that's what it is.
Speaker 12: Yeah, exactly, exactly. No, but this is a cool concept
Speaker 12: with the USB.
Speaker 2: I feel like this is the future. I give the
Speaker 2: credit to my wife Chan. Yeah, and but I'm always
Speaker 2: looking for futuristic things, to do something different, something new,
Speaker 2: something that hasn't been done, something that's not being done,
Speaker 2: and something that's like makes life easier. Like just put
Speaker 2: that in your USB in your car, Boom, you'll have
Speaker 2: four great songs from Who I Am in tracks. Yeah, yeah, no,
Speaker 2: I love it, popping out.
Speaker 12: I love it.
Speaker 25: So it's very fun. You can wear it as a
Speaker 25: necklace too. Oh yeah, yeah, oh that's cool. We should
Speaker 25: we should play another track, and we were talking off
Speaker 25: air about it. So one of these, one of these
Speaker 25: tracks has has a guest startist on it.
Speaker 2: Yes, open your eyes and we're going to.
Speaker 12: Play that in a moment. But tell us about this.
Speaker 12: So Brad to Palma is on.
Speaker 2: This, Yes, the great Brad to Palma is on this
Speaker 2: as a featured artist.
Speaker 7: Homie.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but we've both played on many bills and he's
Speaker 2: playing bands with Brad, And of course I love Brad
Speaker 2: so much. Yeah, big fan. I feel like he's possibly
Speaker 2: the best guitarist in the region.
Speaker 12: Kidding.
Speaker 2: I would like to know who's better, because I've seen
Speaker 2: most of them, and I don't know who I haven't seen.
Speaker 7: Okay, that's all order.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've heard, I've heard every you know, because I
Speaker 2: had my radio show, but I think Brad. To me,
Speaker 2: Brad is the best guitarist in the region, and so
Speaker 2: I reached out to him. I said, hey, would you
Speaker 2: be interested in dropping the lick for this song? It
Speaker 2: really needs, you know, something like what you got And.
Speaker 12: We would know him from Dog a Dog, earth Mark
Speaker 12: earth Mark.
Speaker 2: I first saw him in National back in the day
Speaker 2: and uh yeah, I've been following him for a long
Speaker 2: time and legend he's you know, he's intertwined in the
Speaker 2: the southern New Hampshire Merrock Valley region as you know,
Speaker 2: the one to go to if you need guitar. And
Speaker 2: so yeah, so he did. He dropped that forth. You know,
Speaker 2: Thracks did the audio engineering for the the entire album.
Speaker 12: Okay, so you know.
Speaker 2: He Brad dropped that tr back and and Tracks work
Speaker 2: magic to get it from that piece of descent and
Speaker 2: then put it on the songs and it's just like
Speaker 2: it's it's perfect. It's basically I'm not ashamed to say
Speaker 2: it's the one take that he sent us and boom,
Speaker 2: it's perfect and why not awesome?
Speaker 12: All right?
Speaker 2: So yeah, we love it.
Speaker 25: All right, let's give this a listen. So this is
Speaker 25: who I Am and thracks featuring Brad to Palma on guitar.
Speaker 25: And this is called open your Eyes.
Speaker 20: In the time.
Speaker 26: We as mousters.
Speaker 20: Surprise for fa shift in time.
Speaker 8: Tho we.
Speaker 26: Thought to be free, say Sid going back to the sea.
Speaker 8: Yep, you say, oh, say.
Speaker 1: God?
Speaker 22: And what did you say? So then.
Speaker 17: The ground.
Speaker 26: Waste his time the time.
Speaker 20: Living.
Speaker 6: Lets see what you have.
Speaker 25: Sh shot.
Speaker 12: Ye, that is open your Eyes.
Speaker 25: That is who I Am and tracks and yeah that
Speaker 25: sounded with Brad de Palma on guitar. So Max, you
Speaker 25: you engineered the EP.
Speaker 7: Yeah, uh, at least of it because the other obviously
Speaker 7: the other fifty came from you. Lacy. Yeah, yes I did. Uh,
Speaker 7: Okay did most of the puts together thingies you know
Speaker 7: all those things. Yeah I did. I did everything myself. Yeah,
Speaker 7: drums was definitely obviously my my area. But I engineered
Speaker 7: that whole entire thing.
Speaker 12: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Uh, mixed, mastered, and semi engineered. It took a while.
Speaker 7: This wasn't like a oh, let's just spur the moment
Speaker 7: do this like this was meticulous planning over weeks, over weeks,
Speaker 7: like every song had its own session. Yeah, for for
Speaker 7: things so like we uh, Lacey is very precise, okay,
Speaker 7: very uh, not even particular, because that's that's in my eyes,
Speaker 7: just putting down your music. You have a very knowledgeable
Speaker 7: thing of what you want to happen, because obviously this
Speaker 7: is your music. So there was very uh, here's this,
Speaker 7: here's this, let's go back to this, let's see if
Speaker 7: we can change this. And it's very you know, touch
Speaker 7: and go of what can we make better? Yeah? Yea,
Speaker 7: so I had I had fun the whole entire time.
Speaker 12: Yeah.
Speaker 7: We we were both like ecstatically happy every time we're
Speaker 7: on the other end of the making of every single song. Yeah,
Speaker 7: because the process was just so fun. Yeah, really was.
Speaker 25: It's good that you enjoy that too, and you embrace
Speaker 25: that because some some musicians hate that part. Some musicians
Speaker 25: just want to play, you know, and they hate the
Speaker 25: everything that goes into recording.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like building a song, yeah, you know, building a
Speaker 2: studio song. Oh yeah, yeah, you do kind of build it.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 2: You know, you're not just playing it live to tape, right,
Speaker 2: which means you know, you just play everything all at
Speaker 2: once and then you know you just say, okay, that's
Speaker 2: the song.
Speaker 12: Yeah.
Speaker 2: We did one of the things that helped me a lot,
Speaker 2: was you know, we we worked with stems as far
Speaker 2: as the individual tracks of the song, you know, so
Speaker 2: that kind of that upped my game a bit because
Speaker 2: I needed to like have those separate things for tracks
Speaker 2: to really make it, you know, sound right. Yeah, and
Speaker 2: like that's something that it's nice to have, you know,
Speaker 2: two ears and and and again tracks as it got
Speaker 2: a knowledgeable ear. So so it's like, I know, I
Speaker 2: can you know, get it kind of most to the
Speaker 2: top of the hill, like here, can you take it
Speaker 2: to the top of the hill? Right? And and he
Speaker 2: was able to do that easily, easily. Yeah, it was.
Speaker 2: It was a great it was fun process. It wasn't
Speaker 2: easy and we yeah, we really put some thought and
Speaker 2: time into you know, how the song should sound.
Speaker 12: And why do an EP?
Speaker 21: What?
Speaker 12: What went into that decision?
Speaker 25: This is something I'm always curious about because a lot
Speaker 25: of artists now they just singles or yeah, or they
Speaker 25: insist on doing an album or why do an EP?
Speaker 2: Well, I think in my mind, I was, I think
Speaker 2: what we have and had going prior to the EP
Speaker 2: was was really good and fun, and I think I
Speaker 2: felt like we could progress to the next step of
Speaker 2: like giving these songs that we were doing live two people. Yeah,
Speaker 2: like in a form you know, and so that just
Speaker 2: seemed like the natural progression At that point. I was like, shoot,
Speaker 2: you want to do that? Darn, I says, you know,
Speaker 2: why don't we do some songs together?
Speaker 5: You know?
Speaker 2: Ye, well there's studio, you know, the studio thing, and
Speaker 2: then the EP. I think it's it's nice just to
Speaker 2: have a quick shot. And I think in my mind
Speaker 2: EP was it's quicker to do an EP than a
Speaker 2: full album. And the single thing is fine, but I'm
Speaker 2: I'm assuming nobody's just doing just a single. They do
Speaker 2: five songs and they released some one song at a time,
Speaker 2: which is fine. Yeah, and I have no problem with that.
Speaker 2: But I just felt like, you want to get a
Speaker 2: full shot of who I am in tracks like you
Speaker 2: want it. You wanted to hit you full force, a
Speaker 2: nice sample of everything. Because we got other songs that
Speaker 2: we played live. We can play you know, up to
Speaker 2: an hour live, no problem. Yeah, just roll right through it.
Speaker 2: And that's with no covers. That's just you know, but
Speaker 2: we do do a cover.
Speaker 7: We do we do you do?
Speaker 2: Yeah, we do Born this way? Okay, did we do
Speaker 2: it a Chickpee Pride.
Speaker 7: That's where we we tried.
Speaker 2: That's where that's where it happened first.
Speaker 7: Yeah, okay, great responds and that was that was that
Speaker 7: was a great show. That was very welcoming experience.
Speaker 2: That was it was really nice. But yeah, that's our Yeah,
Speaker 2: born this way, it's our cover and it's so it's
Speaker 2: super fun to do. I roll out the auto tune
Speaker 2: on my my vocal effects. Yeah, yeah, so it's fun.
Speaker 2: I'd like to play with those. Yeah, but it's you know,
Speaker 2: it's it's good what we do. Love the live experience.
Speaker 2: So I think that's what really drove Hot Wax is
Speaker 2: like we want to put these songs, you know, in
Speaker 2: somebody's car listening to it driving down the road.
Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, no, that makes sense. Let's play another one.
Speaker 25: Let's see, so we've got what we have left between
Speaker 25: the between the other two, I'll let you pick.
Speaker 2: Well, let's do moon Run. It feels like a good
Speaker 2: time about moon Ren.
Speaker 12: Yeah, all right, what should we know about this?
Speaker 2: It's an instrumental.
Speaker 7: Okay, it's a it's a live jam that we quantified
Speaker 7: to uh to studio and uh it's it's a it's
Speaker 7: a jam that we we kind of like morph every
Speaker 7: single time that we do so like live is completely
Speaker 7: different than than what's on the the album. But what's
Speaker 7: on the album is a perfect like, uh, I guess
Speaker 7: demo of what you usually get from Moon Run. So okay,
Speaker 7: right live live.
Speaker 2: This is the famous foot on the keyboards move gotcha,
Speaker 2: which you you know can see on our album cover. Yeah,
Speaker 2: a painting painted by crafty Ka. Our album cover was
Speaker 2: inspired by paintings she did, and uh, you know that's
Speaker 2: that's one of the signature signature moves of who I
Speaker 2: am is I played keyboards with my foot, okay, And
Speaker 2: and that happens in this song, and so it happens
Speaker 2: at the beginning of the song.
Speaker 12: Okay.
Speaker 2: So the song is like a you know, in my
Speaker 2: head when I kind of came up with it, it's like,
Speaker 2: you know, you're on a rocket ship. You're flying to
Speaker 2: the moon, and you get there and you're circling around
Speaker 2: the moon in this rocket ship and then something starts
Speaker 2: to go wrong and then everything just goes crazy and
Speaker 2: you're like trying to put your brain into gear and
Speaker 2: figure out what's happening. And by the time you figure
Speaker 2: it out, the song is.
Speaker 12: Over all right, well let's get this suspend. So this
Speaker 12: is Moon Run. This is of course Who I Am
Speaker 12: and Thracks from their new EP hot Wax. Check this out.
