Speaker 8: super Bug here, gentlemen, please introduce yourselves.
Speaker 9: I'm Parker, drummer for Superbug. Yes, my name is Reeb.
Speaker 10: I play guitar, and we are missing Adam Thunderfingers Vondette
Speaker 10: on the bass guitar and also the Worm on vocals.
Speaker 10: Justin Coombs okay, okay, and warm wanted me to share
Speaker 10: with you that he is out saving the children.
Speaker 9: That's why you couldn't be here.
Speaker 8: Today he's saving which children because.
Speaker 10: We didn't specify. He likes to keep things vague.
Speaker 9: There's a lot of kids. There's a lot of kids
Speaker 9: out there, all of them. Super Bug is for the children.
Speaker 8: That is amazing. That would actually, that'd be a good
Speaker 8: T shirt.
Speaker 10: Yeah yeah, I mean, you know, we're thinking about sponsoring
Speaker 10: some Little League teams and stuff, you know, going forward,
Speaker 10: just to get.
Speaker 9: Her name out there, you know.
Speaker 10: All right, all right, very good community outreach, very good,
Speaker 10: very good.
Speaker 8: So we have reeb been Parker here. All right, refresh
Speaker 8: my memory? Why are you reb?
Speaker 10: It's just a childhood nickname that's stuck. And now I
Speaker 10: kind of, uh, my ego is very happy that I
Speaker 10: can go by like a one name moniker, you know,
Speaker 10: like Brinkston, re Donna or something. So yeah, yeah, and
Speaker 10: I like the mystery of people not really know my
Speaker 10: real names.
Speaker 8: That's okay, very good, very good. Now tell us about
Speaker 8: the new album, of course, because we're playing some songs
Speaker 8: today from the new album.
Speaker 10: Well let's see, this might be an interesting fact, but
Speaker 10: we did the whole thing in two hours. No, yeah,
Speaker 10: everything you're hearing today is the first take live in
Speaker 10: the studio.
Speaker 8: No overdubs, that's that's a record. When you started that sentence,
Speaker 8: I thought you were going to say, yeah, we did
Speaker 8: the whole thing in two weeks or two hours.
Speaker 10: Two hours from start to mastered, ready to release with
Speaker 10: six days.
Speaker 8: Good lord, Superbug, Ladies and Gentlemen, the most efficient band.
Speaker 8: Yeah on Earth. That's incredible.
Speaker 11: Yeah, we just went in, played live and we got
Speaker 11: to do five. That was the plan, like half the album. Yeah,
Speaker 11: it just started to be a favorite. Pulled out Mike,
Speaker 11: this this way a little bit, rookies.
Speaker 8: No, it's okay. It's those mics are very beauty directional
Speaker 8: unless you're just being like directly into them. They lucy
Speaker 8: a little bit. No, that that's great. Yeah, thanks Parker.
Speaker 9: But we were gonna do five. That was the plan.
Speaker 11: Okay, come back to do another five, and we just
Speaker 11: started rolling and we had actually talked about it before that. Yeah,
Speaker 11: you know, hey, if we start rolling, let's just keep
Speaker 11: going and get all ten and wow, sure enough that's
Speaker 11: what happened.
Speaker 8: That's incredible.
Speaker 10: We didn't even listen to it, like, we didn't played
Speaker 10: the first one. He's like, you want to hear it,
Speaker 10: Like nope, go no kidding. Yeah, yeah, Like there's I
Speaker 10: think there's two clams on the whole thing. Uh, you know,
Speaker 10: but it wasn't worth redoing it. I think out of
Speaker 10: the ten songs, seven of them were first take, two
Speaker 10: of them were second take, and there was one that
Speaker 10: we had to restart three times. Really, but yeah, we
Speaker 10: were in and out of there in two hours and went,
Speaker 10: you know, to the brewery and had a beer.
Speaker 8: That's incredible. Yeah.
Speaker 10: Well, Now the funny thing is everybody that goes to
Speaker 10: work with him, he's like, you guys are the standard?
Speaker 9: Is this now what I expect?
Speaker 12: Well?
Speaker 8: He was great. Well where did you record? Uh?
Speaker 9: Dave Palmer Garlic Rock Studios Conquered?
Speaker 8: Okay, oh, Dave Palmer that I'm not sure that I
Speaker 8: actually know him, but the only but I know that name,
Speaker 8: and it's probably because of you guys, because I think
Speaker 8: he just friended me on Facebook or something probably, So yeah, yeah,
Speaker 8: I saw we had a lot of mutual friends, of course,
Speaker 8: so of course accepted him. Okay, So was it your
Speaker 8: first time working with him? Yeah?
Speaker 9: Yeah, I hadn't even met him until that day.
Speaker 10: The reason we went there is Parker wasn't crazy about
Speaker 10: the drum sound on the first record, so we wanted
Speaker 10: to find a guy that had the kit set up
Speaker 10: in the studio and everything was dialed in so we
Speaker 10: didn't have to play with it. And he recorded with
Speaker 10: another band he's playing with stage in the Tumbleweeds. They
Speaker 10: went up there and did a session. He liked the
Speaker 10: drum sound, and so we said, let's just go in
Speaker 10: and do it, and yeah, we caught fire and just
Speaker 10: went wow, Yeah, it was insane.
Speaker 8: That's incredible, all right. So a lot of musicians listen
Speaker 8: to the show. So for somebody who wants to be
Speaker 8: able to do that, to go in and record an
Speaker 8: album in two hours, what advice do you have for them?
Speaker 10: Go in rehearsed, don't go to you know, don't go
Speaker 10: in the studio and decide to write a song or
Speaker 10: arrange it there right right right, Yeah, you're wasting everybody's time.
Speaker 10: It's like, if you can and if you can't pull
Speaker 10: it off live, don't go try and do it in
Speaker 10: the studio. Yeah, I mean, that's my advice. But we're
Speaker 10: we're at me and Worm in particular, very impatient. We
Speaker 10: don't want to do things one hundred times. We want
Speaker 10: to go and get it done. Is it good enough?
Speaker 8: Yes?
Speaker 10: Let's move on, right But yeah, so right now, working
Speaker 10: towards the next one. We're probably planning on being in
Speaker 10: this winter.
Speaker 9: Again. Wow, good for you, Good for you guys.
Speaker 8: You know what this makes me think about is, you know,
Speaker 8: like like you guys were saying, you know, don't be
Speaker 8: writing in the studio and arranging. And you see these
Speaker 8: documentaries of like these classic rock bands where they're in
Speaker 8: the studio. You know, of course there are classic rock
Speaker 8: bands who are very successful, who have, you know, just
Speaker 8: all the money in the world. So there you see
Speaker 8: these documentaries where they're in the studio and they're writing
Speaker 8: in the studio as they're recording the album, and they're
Speaker 8: experimenting with all these different things, and you know, and
Speaker 8: you can tell they're just burning money, you know, but
Speaker 8: of course they have all of the It doesn't matter.
Speaker 10: And you know i'd like to point out too, is
Speaker 10: do what works for you. I mean, obviously it's not
Speaker 10: gonna work for everybody. And I don't want to say
Speaker 10: most guitar players, but a lot of guitar players are fussy.
Speaker 10: You know, everything's got to be perfect, and this that yeah,
Speaker 10: I'm kind of raw. I don't I don't I don't care.
Speaker 10: I actually like hearing on the recording where I turned
Speaker 10: a pedal on or off. Yeah, I think it's cool.
Speaker 10: You know, it makes it sound live.
Speaker 8: I agree. I agree.
Speaker 9: I'm a fan.
Speaker 10: I can point to it and go, oops, I made
Speaker 10: that chord change a little too quick to get to
Speaker 10: the solo. But I you know, it's cool for me
Speaker 10: because hey, we didn't have to just play it and
Speaker 10: go back and overdub the solo or something.
Speaker 9: So it was great. I can't wait to do it again.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 10: Yeah, one guitar, I mean one setup. I think I
Speaker 10: one of the songs will be listening to today. Gray
Speaker 10: on Sunday, I went to the neck pick up and
Speaker 10: you can really hear it. Go go lo e and
Speaker 10: I kind of laugh about it, but it's cool. It
Speaker 10: helps make it a little bit, you know.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 10: Yeah, So I don't mind those little hidden errors because there,
Speaker 10: you know, it's just cool. Like I think there's time
Speaker 10: as on my side by the stones, the tambourine on
Speaker 10: that is off time. If you listen to it, I
Speaker 10: think Brian Jones is playing it. But that's what makes
Speaker 10: it cool, you know, And most people don't notice that
Speaker 10: sort of thing.
Speaker 8: Right character I never noticed that on times on my side.
Speaker 10: So now listen to it. You're gonna go, oh yeah,
Speaker 10: that is a bit.
Speaker 8: I'm gonna listen to it later today. I'm gonna have
Speaker 8: to now, yeah, because I love that kind of stuff.
Speaker 9: Of course.
Speaker 8: Oh that's interesting, that's interesting.
Speaker 9: So we were not shooting for perfection, right right.
Speaker 8: Yeah, but I think what you what you did get
Speaker 8: is something even cooler, you know, so.
Speaker 10: It I think it's a great snapshot of us live too,
Speaker 10: because it just boom like a steamroller coming at you, right.
Speaker 10: And it's over quick too, because I think the whole
Speaker 10: records what probably about a half hour.
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, so it's like what just happened.
Speaker 8: We were also talking off air, you guys played at
Speaker 8: Pembroke City Limits. Yes, shout out to Rob yep, Rob
Speaker 8: as a video of course, he's a colleague guy here
Speaker 8: at YEOS show here, great show called Grantited State of
Speaker 8: Mind on.
Speaker 10: He's played us on that as well.
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, yeah, absolutely, Now how did you? Because we
Speaker 8: were also talking off aer Superbug is not the kind
Speaker 8: of band the Rob necessary, I mean, don't get me wrong.
Speaker 8: You know, since Pemberke City Limits opened hour many years
Speaker 8: has been now at least track of time, it's been
Speaker 8: a few years now, right, or at least two maybe
Speaker 8: three years, and it's you know, there's been a variety
Speaker 8: of different kinds of artists that have played there, but
Speaker 8: not necessarily something quite like Superbug.
Speaker 10: Well, I can tell you exactly how it happened. I
Speaker 10: bugged him quite a bit, but he had a big
Speaker 10: fear that we're going to be too loud. Yeah, So
Speaker 10: I went and watched, I think, with Parker and some friends,
Speaker 10: Andrew North and the Rangers, yep. And I immediately went
Speaker 10: over to Rob and I said, we're not going to
Speaker 10: be louder than these guys, yeah, you know, and he
Speaker 10: took the bait. I brought him a record, you know,
Speaker 10: schmoozed him up a bit, and he gave us a
Speaker 10: shot at it. And it's sure enough. It was wild
Speaker 10: for me because there's no way I could bring a
Speaker 10: tube band there, which I can't get low enough in volume,
Speaker 10: so I had to bring a little ten inch solid
Speaker 10: state fender and even that was kind of too loud,
Speaker 10: really yeah, yeah, which is weird being on stage that quiet,
Speaker 10: but when you hear it from the audience, he's right,
Speaker 10: it's it's perfect. Yeah, but we found our setup, we
Speaker 10: dialed it in, we muted the drums enough and it
Speaker 10: actually sounded great.
Speaker 8: Yeah. No, that's awesome. Did you have to kind of
Speaker 8: adjust so the I mean, in terms of the way
Speaker 8: you were playing at that show, did you have to adjust?
Speaker 11: Yeah, because you know, I didn't really. I guess I
Speaker 11: played loud and it's kind of hard, but yeah, you
Speaker 11: got to tone it down.
Speaker 8: What was it difficult? A little bit?
Speaker 9: Yeah, but I'm trying to practice that a little bit, so.
Speaker 8: I yeah, you know, I'd imagine it's probably like a
Speaker 8: like a UFC fighter having a professional wrestling match, and
Speaker 8: they have to kind of pull their punches, you know,
Speaker 8: and figure out how to do that without screwing.
Speaker 9: Up and keep the energy and keep the energy.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 10: Well, the cool part was the last time we played,
Speaker 10: during our second set, he said, okay, you can come
Speaker 10: up a little bit. Oh okay, So you know, and
Speaker 10: it's cool and great crowd there. People really like music. Yeah,
Speaker 10: and yeah, those those are a couple of the betters
Speaker 10: that we've ever played. I mean, it was it was
Speaker 10: it was just fun, yeah, and it was a big
Speaker 10: deal to us because you know, I was all you know, sad, like, hey,
Speaker 10: why doesn't conquered area you want to play, you know,
Speaker 10: let us play, And the fact that they let us
Speaker 10: in finally. Yeah, and we've been back, you know once,
Speaker 10: and we're scheduled again in October, so outstanding. Yeah, it's great,
Speaker 10: So thanks Robby. Really uh myself, it made me super happy, Yeah,
Speaker 10: get the band too, Like it made me feel a
Speaker 10: part of you know, part of something right right.
Speaker 8: Well. It also probably opened up Rob's mind a bit
Speaker 8: to having you know, some louder bands or yah.
Speaker 10: Yeah, he's He's definitely had some heavier accent there, which
Speaker 10: is secret, little behind the scenes thing. The bartenders are
Speaker 10: happy about that, but yeah, I don't know if they
Speaker 10: share that with him, but I've heard stuff. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 10: they like the variety, right right, well.
Speaker 8: Very good when you when you played there most recently,
Speaker 8: did you play I assumed you played songs from the
Speaker 8: new album.
Speaker 10: Oh yeah, even songs that aren't on this record that
Speaker 10: are new. I mean, we're always writing all the time,
Speaker 10: so yeah, yeah, in the old classics from the first one,
Speaker 10: even a couple of covers we did because we know
Speaker 10: actually I can't say the word, but Rob's got a
Speaker 10: big Neil young poster up there. So the first time
Speaker 10: we played f and up via Pearl Jam, so that
Speaker 10: was kind of cool. It was kind of like, hey,
Speaker 10: let's throw Rob a bone and give him a good cover.
Speaker 8: Oh, that's really cool.
Speaker 10: Yeah, because we typically, especially lately, we're not playing really
Speaker 10: any covers at all in our sets. We would always
Speaker 10: have one in there. Yeah, but now it's just been like,
Speaker 10: why are we gonna waste it? We got some good
Speaker 10: stuff too, let's put ours in there instead.
Speaker 8: Well that's nice too. When you get to that point
Speaker 8: where it's like, yeah, we don't really need to play covers.
Speaker 10: I always felt like that, it's trying to get everybody
Speaker 10: else on board.
Speaker 8: Yeah. Yeah. I was in a band called the Jinkst
Speaker 8: a very long time ago, and those guys always wanted
Speaker 8: to do covers and I was always but our I
Speaker 8: felt our original material was really strong, so I was.
Speaker 8: It was just a constant battle in that band, you know,
Speaker 8: especially when they were pulling out, Like at one point
Speaker 8: they wanted to do talk Dirty to Me by Poison,
Speaker 8: and I was like, you guys are killing me, Adam.
Speaker 10: Adam would do that at the drop of a hat.
Speaker 10: I love that song too. We could do it just
Speaker 10: because it's funny. Yeah, you know, but Adam loves poison.
Speaker 10: He's got a poison sure, so he has a Yeah,
Speaker 10: he's a throwback. He loves Cinderella. Yeah, I mean, I like,
Speaker 10: talk dirty to me, But the rest of it, I
Speaker 10: think I can live with.
Speaker 8: That, right right, no doubt. As as an aside, they
Speaker 8: were in the news recently because they were supposed to
Speaker 8: do their fortieth anniversary tour. Did you see this? Yeah,
Speaker 8: apparently Brett Michaels wanted way too much money, way more
Speaker 8: money than the other three guys, and it all fell apart.
Speaker 9: Yep, that man, that's what happens.
Speaker 8: You know.
Speaker 9: Even being in a band ain't easy.
Speaker 10: I mean you got to you gotta deal with everybody's schedules,
Speaker 10: you know, you gotta deal with all the personalities and everything.
Speaker 9: I mean, it takes a real commitment, it does.
Speaker 8: You have to want to absolutely. Paul Stanley I heard
Speaker 8: once describe it as it's like when you're in a
Speaker 8: band with three other guys. It's like a four way marriage.
Speaker 9: Yeah, that's accurate.
Speaker 8: And and somebody else said two on the show. It's like,
Speaker 8: I wish I could remember who said it, because it
Speaker 8: was such a good insight. It's like it's like being
Speaker 8: in a relationship with three other people or four other
Speaker 8: people depending, uh, and being but being in a relationship
Speaker 8: not only with them, but with everyone that they're in
Speaker 8: a relationship A resolutely Yeah, yep, that's true. Well, we
Speaker 8: should play another track from the new album. I'll let
Speaker 8: you guys pick. What do you want to what do
Speaker 8: you want to play an X?
Speaker 9: You want to do Gray or you want to do Eternal.
Speaker 8: Let's do Gray do Gray grands on day? Sure? Tell
Speaker 8: me about this song?
Speaker 10: I will actually so, actually if I can go back
Speaker 10: to the first one, immigration and that message.
Speaker 8: There, Oh yes, it's all Greek to me.
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's all Greek to me, so were wanted me
Speaker 10: to share that. What inspired him on that is he
Speaker 10: just found it ridiculous to think that somebody is less
Speaker 10: of a person than you because they weren't born on
Speaker 10: the same piece of earth, which I think is factual.
Speaker 10: So that was the message behind that one. This one
Speaker 10: is really just about losing somebody you love and not
Speaker 10: having the chance to say goodbye.
Speaker 8: Yeah, this is this song kind of stands out to
Speaker 8: me too, him that it's I feel like it's it's
Speaker 8: more melancholy than than I would agree than your other stuff.
Speaker 9: We saw a slow song, but the tempo is probably
Speaker 9: about one thirty five.
Speaker 8: Yeah yeah, yeah, but it's got but it's got a vibe.
Speaker 9: Yeah yeah, yeah, we really like this one.
Speaker 10: This happened Adam headed out cracked his classical skateboard, you know,
Speaker 10: because he's he's he's bah. So he was out there
Speaker 10: skateboard and like most almost fifty year old men should you.
Speaker 9: Can say badass, thank you.
Speaker 8: I was trying to appreciate, appreciate it.
Speaker 10: So while he was doing that, this is something that
Speaker 10: Parker and I kind of plugged away at. So when
Speaker 10: he was ready for action, he just had to put
Speaker 10: his bass magic on it, and uh we could hand
Speaker 10: it over to Worm. Most of our stuff the bandle
Speaker 10: iron it out and then kind of submitted over to
Speaker 10: Worm for him to put his lyrics on top. Okay,
Speaker 10: and the same one with this one. So uh yeah,
Speaker 10: I would say that's the message behind it. But if
Speaker 10: you're listening, listen to that low East ring buzz on
Speaker 10: Ita solo at the end.
Speaker 8: Yeah, as a bass player, I enjoy a bass solo.
Speaker 8: And what's the album called too? I don't think did
Speaker 8: we mention that.
Speaker 10: No, I'm sorry, I disturbed the Comfortable, disturb the Comfortable. Yeah,
Speaker 10: it's out on iTunes, Spotify, all that fun stuff and
Speaker 10: it's a banger.
Speaker 8: We're pretty proud of it. Absolutely. All right, let's listen
Speaker 8: to this from the new album to serve the Comfortable.
Speaker 8: This is called Gray on Sunday and the band is Superbug.
Speaker 2: I can see them standing, I can see them standing
Speaker 2: in the moonlight, Siluete surrounded, Siluete surrounded by the twilight.
Speaker 2: Lonely shadows stand in, lonely shadows stands in in the
Speaker 2: kindle light. The revision from the tears, the revision from
Speaker 2: the tears in my mind's sun.

Speaker 8: Oh that's so good Grand Sunday. The band is Superbug.
Speaker 8: That's from the new album Disturbed, the Comfortable and read.
Speaker 8: Are you a Are you a nice Fraenly fan at all?
Speaker 9: Nope?
Speaker 8: I wondered, just because that solo kind of sounded a
Speaker 8: little ace.
Speaker 10: To me that that, you know what, It's funny you
Speaker 10: mentioned that because I'm not a fan of his. I'm
Speaker 10: not a huge kiss guy, but everybody, I think, all
Speaker 10: the guitarists I hear say that he just repeats the
Speaker 10: same lick a few times, right, and I'm definitely somebody
Speaker 10: that does that.
Speaker 8: Okay, that's probably why, probably what I'm hearing.
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, I would agree.
Speaker 8: Yeah yeah, No, I really I really like that lot.
Speaker 8: I love the solo. I love the baseline, the drums,
Speaker 8: all of it, all of it really good. Uh tell
Speaker 8: me about the album title, disturb the Comfortable.
Speaker 10: Well, we have a song called comfort that disturbed, yes,
Speaker 10: and then uh, kind of the refrain at the end
Speaker 10: is disturb the Comfortable.
Speaker 9: So we just thought it was a cool title.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I'm gonna tell him that story. Parker doesn't want
Speaker 10: me to, but I don't go.
Speaker 9: To so our artwork.
Speaker 10: We had a great picture on the cover that was
Speaker 10: drawn by a fan of us playing live, so I said,
Speaker 10: let's take that and make it look like it's in
Speaker 10: a sketchbook. And Adam designs all our art. So he
Speaker 10: designed the super Bug logo and then he wrote in
Speaker 10: cursive underneath it disturbed the Comfortable because we wanted that
Speaker 10: to We wanted to look like a teenager's sketch book
Speaker 10: where he was right stuff. And we were waiting like
Speaker 10: three weeks like the record was ready to go out.
Speaker 10: We're still waiting to finish the artwork, and uh, you
Speaker 10: know he's you know, he's a man of mystery all respect.
Speaker 10: So he he gave it to us, but he had
Speaker 10: comfortable misspell draw on it. Oh no, And I was
Speaker 10: just like, whatever, I just want to put it out there.
Speaker 10: I'll make it seem more juvenile, so be it. And
Speaker 10: I was gonna buy an article, buy a page advertisement
Speaker 10: in paper jam. So Sheila and Tony great people up there.
Speaker 10: And Sheila pointed it out. She's like, you know, the
Speaker 10: comfortable is misspelled, and I'm like, yeah, I was gonna
Speaker 10: roll it whatever, and thank you Sheila. She had the
Speaker 10: software to be able to go in and chop the
Speaker 10: letter that was wrong okay, which was perfect. She's like
Speaker 10: here and she also helped out. She put the three
Speaker 10: ring binder kind of looked through the middle.
Speaker 8: Of it, so oh wow.
Speaker 10: Shout out to Shila for all her help, because we
Speaker 10: would have put something out there and you know, in
Speaker 10: all honesty, probably just looked dumb. And I don't blame
Speaker 10: Adam for this. It's my impatience because I just wanted
Speaker 10: to get it out there. I didn't have the patience
Speaker 10: to be like, dude, can you redo this?
Speaker 8: And this and that.
Speaker 10: I just we were so excited to get it out,
Speaker 10: you know. Yeah, but now it's a pretty funny band joke,
Speaker 10: you know, inside joke. We got a good chuckle out
Speaker 10: of it.
Speaker 8: Well, now now I'm just also curious. How do you
Speaker 8: remember how comfortable was spelled? How?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 10: I know exactly how it was comp f O r
Speaker 10: T A b L comfortable, cumped cumpfortible. It was incursive.
Speaker 10: So who knows if the kids these days even know
Speaker 10: how to read that sort of thing?
Speaker 9: Am I right?
Speaker 8: But uh? True?
Speaker 10: So I was just gonna let it go because I'm like,
Speaker 10: all right, well, you know, it's a fifteen year old,
Speaker 10: he doesn't pay attention in class and you don't know
Speaker 10: how to spell nothing. But thank you Sheila for having
Speaker 10: the time and effort to correct that forming unpaid. Uh
Speaker 10: you know, I feel bad I should have given her
Speaker 10: credit or something, but it's not like we've got you know,
Speaker 10: records out there. But yeah, so that was kind of funny.
Speaker 10: It's a it's a good intervan joke now.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 10: Yeah, but all respect to Adam for his artistic ability.
Speaker 10: He really he comes up with some cool stuff.
Speaker 8: Yeah, excellent, excellent. So the album is it. Uh so
Speaker 8: it's out, but is it? Do you have digital copies?
Speaker 8: I mean, I mean sorry, do you have physical copies
Speaker 8: or is it just digital at this point?
Speaker 9: Or just digital?
Speaker 10: You know, we did a run of vinyl for the
Speaker 10: last one, but in all honesty, we really didn't sell
Speaker 10: a whole bunch. A lot of them just became business cards.
Speaker 10: If we played a place or wanted to play a place,
Speaker 10: it's like here, check us out, gotch We've still got
Speaker 10: a box of fifty of them sitting there that we're
Speaker 10: going to be selling a gigs and stuff. As I
Speaker 10: mentioned the last time, I ain't about that. I would
Speaker 10: go cassette before CD. Fight me on, I don't care.
Speaker 10: I stand behind that. But yeah, the we'd love to
Speaker 10: do a vinyl run, but to spend twelve hundred bucks
Speaker 10: for nothing, We would rather have that money to go
Speaker 10: into the studio to do our next record. I mean,
Speaker 10: we've got another eighteen songs we haven't recorded. Yeah, and
Speaker 10: we're constantly wrong. Yeah, well we've got a couple in
Speaker 10: the can just to work on too, So no kidding, Yeah,
Speaker 10: we're it just flows from us. Yeah, it's real easy,
Speaker 10: no wonder you don't have to do covers anymore. You
Speaker 10: had a lot of music, that's the thing.
Speaker 9: We want to squeeze it all in.
Speaker 10: And there's I don't think there's a song we have
Speaker 10: that it's like we have to play that one, right,
Speaker 10: you know, Well maybe Parker because some of the stuff
Speaker 10: on drums, if he's tired, it's going to be a
Speaker 10: drag for him, because yeah, we've got a lot of
Speaker 10: pace on some of the stuff, right, almost all of them.
Speaker 10: Like we we hadn't played much for about a month
Speaker 10: just because you know, it's it's people had stuff to
Speaker 10: do and it's not a we're kind of learning as
Speaker 10: we've been a band now that what works best for us.
Speaker 10: We're trying to keep it to one gig a month, yeah,
Speaker 10: you know, regular practice, of course, but everybody had vacation,
Speaker 10: so we took three weeks to a month off. Yeah,
Speaker 10: and then just playing for the first time the other night,
Speaker 10: I was like, holy crap, Like there's no song you
Speaker 10: can take off, Like this is not easy stuff to
Speaker 10: do and the pace is there. But that's cool, you know,
Speaker 10: it's exactly. It's still very exciting to play anything, you
Speaker 10: know what I mean.
Speaker 8: Oh, that's excellent, that's excellent. How long have you guys
Speaker 8: been around? Now?
Speaker 10: Five years since I joined the band?
Speaker 8: Five years long? Yeah, well five years since you joined.
Speaker 8: That's right. So there was Superbug before.
Speaker 10: Reb yes, right, uh uh yeah Pine Tree Riot shout
Speaker 10: out to Rick.
Speaker 8: Yeah, well that was the before Superbug was Pinetree Riot.
Speaker 9: Yeah, it was.
Speaker 11: It was me Adam and and Worm okay, and then
Speaker 11: our guitarist Rick okay, and then he decided he wanted
Speaker 11: to do other things, so Okay came on and uh,
Speaker 11: then we became Superbug.
Speaker 10: And I have been playing for thirty years with Dent,
Speaker 10: which we still play with. Oh wow, So yeah, I'm
Speaker 10: I'm I'm parking and I are both juggling two bands
Speaker 10: right now. Yeah, Superbug is the main one, of course,
Speaker 10: but you know, it's but it's great to have that
Speaker 10: creative outlet.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 10: If I write something and I get two rhythm sections
Speaker 10: to try it.
Speaker 8: Out with, that's true.
Speaker 9: So it's it's kind of cool.
Speaker 8: That is true.
Speaker 10: And sometimes it's surprising which one works with which one, right,
Speaker 10: but it's it's a luxury and I mean and both
Speaker 10: rhythm sections are stellar, so it's pretty grid.
Speaker 8: Oh that's excellent that you've played with for a long time.
Speaker 10: Since high school. You know, we've got two records out
Speaker 10: on iTunes and you know Spotify.
Speaker 8: Yeah, oh wow.
Speaker 10: Yeah, we've been playing. We played five gigs last year,
Speaker 10: we played two this year.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 10: We played the Backwoods Metal Fest at Hannecker Brewing Company.
Speaker 10: And that's the other thing with us. We've been playing
Speaker 10: with doom metal bands like Superbug, but we've also played
Speaker 10: with the jam bands. I mean, we've got a wide
Speaker 10: swath of you know, genres we can kind of fit
Speaker 10: in with and co mingle.
Speaker 8: Well that's true.
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's really cool, like the Pig with the Milford
Speaker 9: Pig Growth.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean it was all like Witch Spire and
Speaker 10: Hobo Wizard and Proelium and all these rooah you know
Speaker 10: that kind of stuff. Yeah, and we came up and
Speaker 10: I thought it was great because I don't know about you,
Speaker 10: but if I go to a show or a festival,
Speaker 10: I don't want to hear eight of.
Speaker 9: The same thing the same way. Give me something that
Speaker 9: that's different.
Speaker 8: Absolutely, But yeah, it was.
Speaker 9: It was super fun doing that.
Speaker 8: Oh that's cool.
Speaker 9: We're happy to be anywhere.
Speaker 8: Yeah. I can see how you guys would fit in
Speaker 8: different different places, which is good.
Speaker 10: Yeah, and uh, hilariously, on the thirteenth, we're going to
Speaker 10: be playing like our local community music spotlight on Thursday night,
Speaker 10: you know where the uh the elderly folks bring their
Speaker 10: lawn chairs and sit down and super bugs playing that.
Speaker 10: So we're really excited because our hometown Hillsboro. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 10: growing up there as a teenager, this is the sort
Speaker 10: of thing you really wanted.
Speaker 8: To do right right.
Speaker 10: The fact that they actually asked us to do it.
Speaker 9: Is mind blowing.
Speaker 8: Oh, that's very cool.
Speaker 10: Well, because you know, four years ago and four years
Speaker 10: ago now, we played the big summerfest there and they
Speaker 10: threw us off the stage.
Speaker 8: What happened?
Speaker 10: It's our street cred, so yeah, yeah, it's it's super funny.
Speaker 10: So the first issue was we bought a brand new PA,
Speaker 10: not PA, a mixer, yeah, and we tested it out
Speaker 10: in my yard and thought we had our level set,
Speaker 10: like this will be perfect. So we went to the
Speaker 10: ball field and set up on stage and we began
Speaker 10: playing and we were so loud that vendors across the
Speaker 10: field you had to yell just to order food from them.
Speaker 10: So after about two songs, they came over and they're like,
Speaker 10: you need to cut your volume in half, which we
Speaker 10: did and we're cool with it, but in all honesty,
Speaker 10: we were pretty green. That was like one of our
Speaker 10: first gigs and so Worm said the F bomb a
Speaker 10: few too many times. Now, keep in mind, this is
Speaker 10: a family event, right, so it was kind of so.
Speaker 10: But the funny thing is we made it through our
Speaker 10: whole set. We had one song left, which we did
Speaker 10: a cover of War Pigs, and they just like, no,
Speaker 10: you gotta go. And we were heroes of the beer
Speaker 10: tent right next door. They loved us, and a lot
Speaker 10: of people did dig us. But yeah, organizers, they weren't
Speaker 10: too fond of that. Looking back on it, they were
Speaker 10: right one. You know, there's artistic integrity and I know
Speaker 10: you want to now we can play spots and censor
Speaker 10: ourselves a bit more. We've we've learned, we've made progress. Yeah,
Speaker 10: but it makes for a great street cred punk rock story.
Speaker 10: You know, threw us off at the summer Fest.
Speaker 8: Oh wow, that's cool.
Speaker 9: The fact that we're playing the Community.
Speaker 10: Square this year, it's it's pretty hilarious.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 10: But you know, if if any of you Hillsboro folks
Speaker 10: are listening, it's going to be a clean show. Okay,
Speaker 10: we are going to uh yeah, we're going to rock
Speaker 10: your socks off, but there'll be no bad words.
Speaker 8: Right right, well, very good, very good.
Speaker 10: And what is is that August thirteenth, Thursday night. I'm
Speaker 10: not sure if it's that's six or seven, but we'll
Speaker 10: post it on our socials. Yeah, but we're really excited
Speaker 10: for that.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 10: Those are the type of gigs that when I drive
Speaker 10: by and see another band doing it, it's like, huh, well,
Speaker 10: how come we're not doing that? But we're not really
Speaker 10: background music too. But the weird part is Pembroke City Limits.
Speaker 9: Showed us that we could be true. So shout out
Speaker 9: to Rob again.
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, absolutely. I'm sure we talked about this last time.
Speaker 8: But where does the name Superbug come from?
Speaker 4: Well?
Speaker 10: I have a I think we did talk about. I
Speaker 10: have a vintage Richard Nixon poster. Oh yes, yeah, yeah yeah,
Speaker 10: and it said Superbug.
Speaker 9: At the bottom.
Speaker 10: And one of our our number one fan shout out
Speaker 10: to money. He was over and we were thinking of
Speaker 10: names and he's like, how about Superbug? Like okay, so
Speaker 10: yeah that's it.
Speaker 8: If you're just joining us, we have Reeb and Parker
Speaker 8: here from Superbug with us in studio. Why did it
Speaker 8: say superbug at the bottom of the Richard Nixon poster?
Speaker 8: What am I missing?
Speaker 10: So if I showed the poster because it had like
Speaker 10: a it was called the bug booth and it had
Speaker 10: him with headphones on like the Democratic National can right
Speaker 10: right right?
Speaker 8: Okay, right? That makes sense now, yeah, yeah, so.
Speaker 10: We kind of he took it from that, and I
Speaker 10: was like, ah, that's a great idea.
Speaker 8: Yeah, no, that is that is a great idea. I
Speaker 8: do remember we talked about Hesitation Jelly and why the
Speaker 8: album the other album was called Hesitation Jelly and that's
Speaker 8: that's that's a fun story too.
Speaker 17: My dad.
Speaker 8: My dad got to kick out of that one.
Speaker 9: Oh that's hilarious.
Speaker 8: But absolutely, well we should we should play another song.
Speaker 8: Let's uh, let's see of the three you sent me three? Right, yep,
Speaker 8: I think the what didn't we play yet? Oh?
Speaker 9: Eternal Youth, Eternal youth?
Speaker 8: Yeah, tell me about this one.
Speaker 10: Well, we I think we went through a bit of
Speaker 10: a rush phase. And I wouldn't one of the songs
Speaker 10: on the record time or No. It's called Taste for
Speaker 10: the Medicine. It's got three different times signatures in it.
Speaker 10: And we were we like the abrupt changes. I'm a
Speaker 10: huge Strokes fan. Yeah, I love abrupt changes. I love
Speaker 10: parts that are fighting against each other. But this one's
Speaker 10: almost like, I don't know, eight HG because it's going
Speaker 10: from one pace to another. It jumps around a lot,
Speaker 10: you know, in tempo wise and uh just riff wise.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 10: It actually started as another entire song that it just
Speaker 10: we It's one of the only ones we just couldn't
Speaker 10: get to work.
Speaker 11: I'd say, yeah, really the transitions for you know, how
Speaker 11: do we how do we transition from one part?
Speaker 10: Yeah, because you're going from like a slow to fast part.
Speaker 9: So we had to figure all that out.
Speaker 10: And yeah, what so we we get I took the
Speaker 10: rifts that I like from the song, and I was
Speaker 10: going back through my phone and the verse riff that's quiet.
Speaker 10: I had found that that I just made a recording
Speaker 10: of it laying around and I'm like, all right, well
Speaker 10: that's in D two. Maybe I could put that in
Speaker 10: the middle of it. And then it was just a
Speaker 10: matter of, like Parker said, getting in and out of
Speaker 10: the changes. Yeah, and this one's super cool. It's the
Speaker 10: live first take guys, you know, so it is a
Speaker 10: banger and they had to do some adjustment to the
Speaker 10: drums at the beginning in the studio because his kit
Speaker 10: was a little bit higher pitch than what we normally have,
Speaker 10: so they didn't it sounded it didn't sound right, but
Speaker 10: Dave used his studio magic to kind of make him
Speaker 10: sound bigger than they were. And it's pretty cool. My
Speaker 10: inspiration for the intro was Over the Mountain by Ozzie.
Speaker 10: Oh yeah, yeah, so Parker, did you know something along
Speaker 10: those lines. I wouldn't say it's a direct copy, but
Speaker 10: that was for me to go, this is what I'm
Speaker 10: looking for and then you know, so he was able
Speaker 10: to do that. Uh, and yeah, it's it's it's pretty cool.
Speaker 10: I I don't have any other Oh wait, let me
Speaker 10: Parker or no, I'm sorry, Parker. Worm did tell me
Speaker 10: what the words were about, so if you would like,
Speaker 10: I could share.
Speaker 7: That with you.
Speaker 10: Yeah, absolutely, because I tried to be prepared and ask
Speaker 10: his opinion on this stuff instead of just assuming.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 9: So let's see.
Speaker 10: Uh, Eternal youth is about the awakening of realizing that
Speaker 10: just being alive should be celebrated. Who knew that Worm
Speaker 10: was such a hippie?
Speaker 8: Well that's a good. Uh, that's a good message. I
Speaker 8: like that right, but yeah, absolutely all right, let's give
Speaker 8: this a spend. The track is Eternal Youth. It's from
Speaker 8: the from the album Disturbed the Comfortable brand new from Superbug.
Speaker 8: Here we go.
Speaker 4: I'm not the same, the same as yesterday yesterday.
Speaker 2: The season's changed, looking ahead the rainy days, the seasons
Speaker 2: change as a.
Speaker 7: Meadow in time felt.
Speaker 4: Alive. It's coming on to your joy, guest pursuing a.
Speaker 2: Time takes to show about through the shadow, sickness another
Speaker 2: of it.
Speaker 4: Where is the hole?
Speaker 2: The sermon thoughts women side th head occupied the space
Speaker 2: too soon, come myself in the paddle web.
Speaker 4: Some myself the do listen. It's time allow.
Speaker 2: I'm not the same, the same as yesterday, yesterday. The
Speaker 2: season's changed, looking ahead the rainy days, the seasons change
Speaker 2: as a beadoway.
Speaker 4: It's time. I'm thinking back.
Speaker 3: It's not telling you the magical one at all, No
Speaker 3: thing containing the money.
Speaker 2: I don't want it, but has to take the hole.
Speaker 2: So two deferent time I head, I'm playing.
Speaker 3: The top time of the taking three of the fun
Speaker 3: with a hold the time.
Speaker 16: Go with room.
Speaker 18: A wicked make the BURNSISI the wate gear in and
Speaker 18: the Juvenile Wicked is.
Speaker 2: The Burns animate game in the Juveniles Electric?
Speaker 4: Don't sit next to jokest whats it?
Speaker 16: Needle check?
Speaker 8: You can't just parc?
Speaker 19: What do.
Speaker 4: God hold road? I'm celebrating.
Speaker 8: A that's so good. That is a banger, Eternal Youth.
Speaker 8: The band is a Superbug and we've got one half
Speaker 8: of super Bug here with us in studio. We have
Speaker 8: Reeve and Parker here with us. And yeah, that was
Speaker 8: a good, good choice like that one a lot. Absolutely, absolutely,
Speaker 8: I'm still amazed that you were able to record the
Speaker 8: album so quickly. That is Uh, that is incredible. Yeah,
Speaker 8: if you are just joining us, We've got the guys
Speaker 8: here talking about the new album. Uh, Disturbed, the Comfortable
Speaker 8: and Yeah, I was looking at the artwork too while
Speaker 8: that was playing. I really like that. So those a
Speaker 8: fifteen year old who did that?
Speaker 10: No, we wanted it to make it look like that
Speaker 10: was Oh Dave, Dave what's his name that did the drawing?
Speaker 11: Oh Mark, Mark Seymour did the drawing. Oh okay, got bottom. Yeah,
Speaker 11: we were playing playing Yeah, so he is not fifteen, No,
Speaker 11: we were we were playing in worms she shed in
Speaker 11: his backyard. Yeah, Uh, just for like an outdoor party
Speaker 11: and the guy just drew us while we were doing it,
Speaker 11: and to me, it was very flattering.
Speaker 10: I thought it was super cool. Yeah, so yeah, we
Speaker 10: were I always wanted to do something with that. We
Speaker 10: were going to have it as the the art on
Speaker 10: the back of our first record, but you know, it
Speaker 10: just made it more complicated, so we used it for this.
Speaker 8: Yeah. Absolutely. How long did the first record take? I mean,
Speaker 8: obviously this one was so quick, but.
Speaker 9: That was about ten hours, no, seven hours?
Speaker 8: Really yeah, yeah, so really fast.
Speaker 10: Yeah, Well that this one did. We recorded the vocals
Speaker 10: live in the room on this one.
Speaker 9: Yeah, that one.
Speaker 10: We did the tracks and overdubbed him.
Speaker 8: Oh okay.
Speaker 10: The only thing we overdubbed on this was the background vocals.
Speaker 8: Okay.
Speaker 10: So yeah, And it's funny because if you listen to
Speaker 10: a song called Disturb the Comfortable at the end, you
Speaker 10: can really hear Worm's voice breaking up because it's the
Speaker 10: part that I usually sing, oh, and he comes in on,
Speaker 10: But because we were recording it live, he ended up
Speaker 10: doing that whole part. Yeah, And I'm like, dude, it's fine,
Speaker 10: just leave it, you know, yea, because if you can
Speaker 10: recall like territorial Pissings by Nirvana. The end of that
Speaker 10: where Kurt's screaming and you can just hear his voice shredding.
Speaker 10: That'll just get chills up your spine.
Speaker 9: It's so cool.
Speaker 8: Oh absolutely, yeah, yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 4: Do you guys?
Speaker 8: Uh is there already live video of you guys perform
Speaker 8: reading from any of these shows?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, if you go on I mean some of
Speaker 10: the I think the only book, Yeah, the full shows
Speaker 10: that we have probably old ones from like Area twenty three,
Speaker 10: but you can find if you go to YouTube and
Speaker 10: type in Superbug stuff. We just throwing up from market
Speaker 10: Days pray on Sunday. We just recently got to go pro. Yeah,
Speaker 10: so we're gonna be working on doing more.
Speaker 9: Shows to put it out there.
Speaker 10: But yeah, usually if we have a gig, if I
Speaker 10: can get one good song for content, I'm happy. Yeah,
Speaker 10: and uh yeah so it Sunday. Yeah, market Day. That
Speaker 10: was a good one. That was just from a couple
Speaker 10: of weeks ago. But if you go to, uh, I
Speaker 10: guess my page Reeve Grady on YouTube YouTube, you can
Speaker 10: find some Superbug stuff there. If you go on our
Speaker 10: social Superbug NH on Instagram and also on Facebook, we've
Speaker 10: got a bunch of stuff there and then also come
Speaker 10: out to shows. We've got some we've like I said,
Speaker 10: we've were booked through November, one show a month at
Speaker 10: least anyway, So we got let's say, you want us
Speaker 10: to go over some upcoming sot.
Speaker 8: Go for Yeah, yeah, we got time yet, all right, Yeah,

Speaker 10: And then on the twenty fifth of September we're going
Speaker 10: to be playing Hannecker Brewing Company from six to eighth.
Speaker 10: That's a Friday night. And then we've got Pembroke City
Speaker 10: Limits coming up.
Speaker 9: I believe it's seventeenth October.
Speaker 10: Seventeenth, Yeah, and then November twenty eighth, we've got a gig.
Speaker 10: It's going to be in Conquered. It hasn't been officially
Speaker 10: nailed down yet. I don't want to ruin the announcement.
Speaker 10: Look out for that. We should be doing that as well. Yeah,
Speaker 10: so those are the upcoming gigs. And I'd also like
Speaker 10: to shout out George at the Hawk one oh four
Speaker 10: point nine. Yeah, he's been playing Invasive Species off the
Speaker 10: first record for almost two years now.
Speaker 8: Oh wow.
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's in the regular rotation on the on the
Speaker 10: Sunday night you know, hometown Spotlight.
Speaker 9: Thank you George.
Speaker 10: And he also played Daily Grind off the new record,
Speaker 10: and I think Humanity off the last record too, and
Speaker 10: also the Takeover they played at this moment recently. Really yeah,
Speaker 10: that was kind of funny at work, you know, a
Speaker 10: guy came in and to do some safety training and
Speaker 10: we got to talk and he had a radio show,
Speaker 10: so you know network, and hey I got a band,
Speaker 10: blah blah blah. Oh yeah, so he threw something on
Speaker 10: and that's super fun. But yeah, those are the upcoming
Speaker 10: gigs we get stay tuned for more. Like I said,
Speaker 10: we're trying to trying to keep it to one a month,
Speaker 10: because I would say last year in particular, we were
Speaker 10: pretty busy and I didn't realize it until I looked
Speaker 10: at a Facebook post like memories our list of upcoming gigs.
Speaker 10: It was like, dang, we were like working every weekend
Speaker 10: last summer. It felt like I'm like, no wonder my
Speaker 10: wife was so mad. So I think all of us
Speaker 10: we found a happy medium, a gig a month, you know,
Speaker 10: because last year was more like, hey, they want us
Speaker 10: to play, Holy cow, let's go do it now and
Speaker 10: be like no, you know, we don't. We just don't
Speaker 10: have time for it or whatever.
Speaker 8: Pick your spots.
Speaker 10: Yeah, and you know all are we're like getting paid
Speaker 10: gigs regularly now and it's super exciting.
Speaker 8: That's great.
Speaker 9: Well because we just play to go.
Speaker 10: Into the studio. That's the kind of the new model. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 10: because you know, my thought to these guys, and I
Speaker 10: told them, if any of you don't feel like doing
Speaker 10: this anymore, I'll foot the bill. Let's go to the
Speaker 10: studio and record the songs. I don't want them to
Speaker 10: go away, right, you know, I want I want to
Speaker 10: keep them because how many bands you been in where
Speaker 10: you had a great original song you didn't record it
Speaker 10: and it's just lost to history.
Speaker 8: Heartbreaking? Yeah, I think about Yeah.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 10: So that's I mean, we're all into it. But I
Speaker 10: just try and reinforce that. Listen, if you want to
Speaker 10: do it, to heck with it, let's go to the
Speaker 10: studio and record them right and get them out there
Speaker 10: just so they don't get lost to the you know history, right.
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, absolutely, I have. I have songs from bands
Speaker 8: I've played in that will just randomly pop into my
Speaker 8: head where I'll think out a recording of that. It's very,
Speaker 8: very frustrating.
Speaker 10: Well, I agree, but it's cool too because sometimes I had,
Speaker 10: like maybe something I wrote years ago for Dent that
Speaker 10: didn't work. We couldn't make it happen, But now I
Speaker 10: can try with Superbug. Yeah, so you know, those things
Speaker 10: are good. And I mean on the first record, there's
Speaker 10: a song called Views that originally I was playing in
Speaker 10: like nineteen ninety three with my old high school band,
Speaker 10: Uncle Slough. Yeah you know, and uh so it was
Speaker 10: cool to get that on record somewhere. And the guy
Speaker 10: who wrote the lyrics is no longer with us either,
Speaker 10: so you know, he can't claim them right near mine
Speaker 10: now it's copywritten under me or us. I didn't even
Speaker 10: write the bass riff. Shout out to Charlie Acorn and
Speaker 10: that's the great riffka. But yeah, I'm gonna get liverless.
Speaker 10: They are libelous. Here is a state will come after it, right,
Speaker 10: you know, he kidding? But yeah, this is also cool
Speaker 10: stuff for us because we got new gear. I mean,
Speaker 10: Parker got a fancy new kit.
Speaker 8: Ah.
Speaker 10: Yeah, so it's is pretty It's good to be super Bug.
Speaker 10: We're pretty happy right now.
Speaker 7: Good.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 9: I have a big bug wig and a small lug big.
Speaker 8: Yeah. Excellent, excellent, excellent.
Speaker 10: And I think if you ask my wife, I have
Speaker 10: more guitars than it's humanly needed, you know, necessary.
Speaker 8: Every guitar player's got to have more guitars.
Speaker 10: Thank you for justifying that. Now I feel better.
Speaker 8: But it's a rule. I agree, it's a rule. Yeah,
Speaker 8: you know, they look great in the case, you know. Yeah,
Speaker 8: how many now, I'm curious, how many do you have?
Speaker 9: Probably fourteen? Oh jeez, yeah, and I've probably got oh
Speaker 9: she might have a point.
Speaker 10: Yeah, and then I've probably got seven thousand dollars worth
Speaker 10: of effects pedals just sitting on the shelf.
Speaker 8: Good lord.
Speaker 9: I don't use much on my board, you know, I
Speaker 9: use like two pedals and that's it.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 10: But the sad part is is recently I got one
Speaker 10: of those Jamascus Squire Jazz Masters. I've been looking at
Speaker 10: for fifteen years, and I'm so embarrassed that all I
Speaker 10: want to play is this four hundred dollars guitar and
Speaker 10: it might be my best guitar. And I've got you know,
Speaker 10: twenty five hundred dollars guitars or whatever, right, but they
Speaker 10: don't stay in tune as well, they don't sound as good.
Speaker 10: I'm blown away, but I'm embarrassed because you know, I'm
Speaker 10: I'm you know, I don't want to be cut dead
Speaker 10: on stage playing a Squire, you know, but it's awesome,
Speaker 10: So I'm really torn, Like, you know, I'm probably gonna
Speaker 10: play it because I love it. Like since I got it,
Speaker 10: I haven't been able to put it down.
Speaker 8: Okay, yeah, Oh, it's a heavy endorsement of it.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean this is the white one you see
Speaker 10: of him, or there's a lot of them out there.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 10: I'm willing to bet three quarters of people that own
Speaker 10: one don't have any idea who the guy is right
Speaker 10: that it's modeled after. But I'd say for a beginner guitar,
Speaker 10: good luck finding something better.
Speaker 8: No kidding? Yeah? Interesting? Interesting, Well, gentlemen, we are running
Speaker 8: out of time remind us and we are going to
Speaker 8: play that track remind us of where where should people
Speaker 8: go online to keep up with all things super bug?
Speaker 10: All right, well, go to Facebook dot com and then
Speaker 10: we are Superbug n H. And then also on Instagram
Speaker 10: Superbug n H. My name is REEB Grady. Feel free
Speaker 10: to follow me. We've got my homeboy Parker over here,
Speaker 10: follow him. But yeah, you should be easy to search
Speaker 10: and find us on there.
Speaker 8: Yeah, absolutely, And of course the new album is great.
Speaker 8: Disturb the comfortable and what can you tell us about?
Speaker 8: So I technically can't say it, so it's funny. So
Speaker 8: the last song we're gonna play, ironically, the title has
Speaker 8: a swear, and so we can't say the title on
Speaker 8: the air, but the lyrics don't have any swears.
Speaker 10: Yeah, we call it no bs no bs. Yeah yeah, yeah,
Speaker 10: I say that, but yeah, no swears this one. If
Speaker 10: those are you nerds out there, they want to listen
Speaker 10: to it, listen to the verse because it's almost like
Speaker 10: Adam has taking the tradition of the bass player is
Speaker 10: taking a traditional guitar kind of role and me, I'm
Speaker 10: just playing staccato, one note kind of guitar things on
Speaker 10: the low strings. Yeah, kind of what the bass would
Speaker 10: normally do, so I think it's kind of a cool
Speaker 10: little mixture there, and then to be really nerdy during.
Speaker 9: The solo part.
Speaker 10: Basically for the it's four four times through, but the
Speaker 10: first two I'll play the fifth and he'll play the
Speaker 10: root note, and then we switch it. He'll play the
Speaker 10: root note and I'll play the fifth. Okay, and it's
Speaker 10: the same riff. Stuff nobody notices, but it makes us
Speaker 10: feel like we're all smart or something.
Speaker 8: Right, right, No, that's cool, that's cool. I like it.
Speaker 8: I like it. Reeban Parker, guys, thank you again so
