6:35 Speaker 1: By the way, we did open the show with the

6:38 Speaker 1: American radio premiere of the brand new track from our

6:40 Speaker 1: friends from the UK, Naked Without It, that is called

6:42 Speaker 1: I'm Not Pretty. And we got a lot of music

6:45 Speaker 1: coming up for you today. Oh I should mention two

6:48 Speaker 1: since I played some I love outtakes of Station id's

6:51 Speaker 1: well when they're fun like that. Last week on the show,

6:52 Speaker 1: we had Jesse Rutstein and Caleb Dyer here and they

6:55 Speaker 1: were talking about a couple of different things. Jesse Rutstein's

7:00 Speaker 1: new EP, self titled EP that just came out, which

7:03 Speaker 1: is fantastic. We featured some music from that, and also

7:06 Speaker 1: they've got Hatchet Acts and Saw which is their new

7:10 Speaker 1: record label that just launched. So so those guys had

7:13 Speaker 1: a lot of really interesting things to talk about, which

7:15 Speaker 1: is great. And I enjoyed our discussion and I also

7:18 Speaker 1: really enjoyed after the show we we did some did

7:21 Speaker 1: some station IDs because they were the last guests on

7:24 Speaker 1: the shows, we had time to do it, and it

7:26 Speaker 1: was it.

7:27 Speaker 10: Was something or was that before the show?

7:30 Speaker 1: Oh no, that was actually before the show because they

7:32 Speaker 1: were the first guests on. That's right, so they probably

7:35 Speaker 1: weren't even fully awake yet.

7:36 Speaker 10: No, that was fun.

7:37 Speaker 1: I do have some actual edited versions of those two,

7:39 Speaker 1: but I do love outtakes. So but we've got a

7:43 Speaker 1: fun show for you today. In just a couple of minutes,

7:46 Speaker 1: we're gonna be joined by three Times seven. They are

7:50 Speaker 1: a great band from the UK, or it might just

7:52 Speaker 1: be it's interesting so they function. I'll ask them about this.

7:55 Speaker 1: They seem to function in two different configurations, a duo

7:59 Speaker 1: and a full so we'll see who's who's on the

8:02 Speaker 1: line with us via WhatsApp in just a couple of minutes.

8:05 Speaker 1: We're gonna play their new single Weight, which we did.

8:07 Speaker 1: We did an American radio premiere for that not long ago.

8:10 Speaker 1: I think it was just maybe a couple of weeks ago.

8:12 Speaker 1: It becomes a bit of a blur. But we're gonna

8:14 Speaker 1: get to talk to them today, So we're gonna play

8:16 Speaker 1: Wait again in just a couple of minutes, and then

8:18 Speaker 1: we're gonna get them on the line via WhatsApp.

8:20 Speaker 10: Looking forward to that. In the second hour.

8:22 Speaker 1: Jamie Higgs, another great UK artist, is gonna be also

8:26 Speaker 1: joining us via WhatsApp. We recently played his song piece

8:29 Speaker 1: in Your Sound, which I absolutely love. Jenny loves it too.

8:33 Speaker 1: It is so catchy, just really really good tune and

8:36 Speaker 1: we're gonna play that, and we'll also play one of

8:39 Speaker 1: his older ones to a great song called Unconditional, which

8:41 Speaker 1: is amazing. So he'll be joining us today in the

8:44 Speaker 1: second hour. In the third hour, we have an in

8:46 Speaker 1: studio guest, our friend Keegan also known as Crafty K

8:52 Speaker 1: from Chaotic Photography.

8:54 Speaker 10: She's gonna be coming in. So she's an amazing.

8:57 Speaker 1: Artist, but she also does a lot of photography for musicians.

9:02 Speaker 1: In fact, if you look online, if you ever look

9:05 Speaker 1: at some of the pictures from performances at Terminus Underground,

9:10 Speaker 1: our friends Eleanor and Andre of course in Nashua, at Terminus Underground,

9:14 Speaker 1: which is part of New Hampshire Underground, they do a

9:16 Speaker 1: lot to help the scene and working with independent artists

9:19 Speaker 1: and they put on some amazing shows there. But if

9:21 Speaker 1: you see pictures online from Terminus Underground, there's a very

9:26 Speaker 1: good chance that those were taken by Crafty K. So, so

9:31 Speaker 1: she does great work between her art and her photography.

9:36 Speaker 10: Well, I mean, photography is art, but you know what

9:38 Speaker 10: I'm saying.

9:39 Speaker 1: She's she works with multiple mediums and is really impressive.

9:43 Speaker 1: So so she's gonna be joining us today in the

9:45 Speaker 1: third hour. Really looking forward to that. So we've got

9:48 Speaker 1: a lot going on, let's see. I think in a

9:50 Speaker 1: moment we should probably go ahead and hit that track Wait,

9:53 Speaker 1: and then I'm really looking forward to speaking with them.

9:56 Speaker 1: We also we're also going to play at the end

9:57 Speaker 1: of our conversation the newest single from three Times seven,

10:02 Speaker 1: which is called Big Train, another great song. I love

10:04 Speaker 1: their sound. I cannot wait till well pun fully intended.

10:08 Speaker 1: I cannot wait to speak with them.

10:10 Speaker 10: But here it is.

10:11 Speaker 1: This is one of the new singles from three Times seven.

10:15 Speaker 1: This is called Wait. This is really really catchy, and

10:19 Speaker 1: you'll be tapping along. If you're not check your pulse,

10:21 Speaker 1: you might be dead. But here it is, And then

10:23 Speaker 1: we're gonna talk with them. Stick around, not save.

10:40 Speaker 11: Wait, I'm begging for my baby, don't wait over not

10:49 Speaker 11: save wait, oh wait, oh wait. It was Sunday evening,

11:01 Speaker 11: and all my ropes were clear and my eyes were

11:04 Speaker 11: dry to spy my fear.

11:08 Speaker 2: But I was flying too close to the sun.

11:10 Speaker 11: When I got your cold half the radio long, I

11:15 Speaker 11: began to star wait, oh, begging for my baby.

11:18 Speaker 5: Don't wait, don't go bud up your.

11:21 Speaker 11: Heart not sad ways way, oh wait.

11:35 Speaker 8: Sometimes I'm lonely.

11:38 Speaker 5: Sometimes I want to be alone.

11:40 Speaker 2: Sometimes I'm freezing.

11:42 Speaker 5: Sometimes I need that cold. Sometimes you're shining.

11:46 Speaker 11: It's over ahead, I'm staring at the sun. I want

11:49 Speaker 11: to spend the night with you with the light on. Wait,

11:54 Speaker 11: begging for my baby, no.

11:55 Speaker 10: Way out your.

11:58 Speaker 11: Heart, not save way to.

12:04 Speaker 12: Wait?

12:06 Speaker 13: Oh wait, I I want, I want, I want you

12:18 Speaker 13: leavese wait, beg him for my baby to wait, orpenen

12:24 Speaker 13: up your heart, not sad.

12:30 Speaker 7: Way begging for my baby to wait.

12:32 Speaker 5: All burn up you.

12:38 Speaker 13: So beg it for my baby to leave the line.

12:49 Speaker 5: Beg you for my baby to.

12:55 Speaker 14: Leave the line.

12:58 Speaker 7: Began for my baby to wait. Thanks for maybe no

13:08 Speaker 7: way off.

13:20 Speaker 1: I love that the song is called wait. The band

13:23 Speaker 1: is three times seven. And let's see who we have

13:27 Speaker 1: on the line with us from the band. Hello, welcome

13:29 Speaker 1: to the show.

13:31 Speaker 8: Hello, Hello, this is Jenny. Hey Jenny, We've got David

13:35 Speaker 8: here as well.

13:36 Speaker 14: Hi.

13:36 Speaker 10: Hey, welcome Jenny and David.

13:38 Speaker 5: Yeah.

13:39 Speaker 1: I don't know if you heard right before the track

13:41 Speaker 1: I was commenting on, and this is one of the

13:42 Speaker 1: things I want to ask you about. It seems that,

13:46 Speaker 1: so from what I could glean online, you function as

13:48 Speaker 1: both a duo and a full band, Is that correct?

13:52 Speaker 8: Yeah, we've actually got three, so we've got a duo,

13:55 Speaker 8: a full band with bass and drums, and we've got

13:57 Speaker 8: a four piece acoustic setup as well well. So yeah,

14:01 Speaker 8: we can become in all forms.

14:03 Speaker 1: That's pretty cool because that gives you a lot of flexibility,

14:06 Speaker 1: right in terms of where you can play and and uh,

14:09 Speaker 1: because obviously different kinds of venues, different uh, different audiences

14:13 Speaker 1: might require a different you know, a different vibe.

14:16 Speaker 10: And I mean, is it is it confusing.

14:18 Speaker 1: At all kind of managing these different versions of the

14:20 Speaker 1: band or does does all the music kind of convert

14:22 Speaker 1: to whatever configuration you're playing in pretty easily?

14:26 Speaker 8: Thankfully now it kind of converts quite easily. It took

14:29 Speaker 8: a little bit of work at the start. Yeah, on

14:32 Speaker 8: the website, we always make sure it's clear whether what

14:34 Speaker 8: type of band you're going to see, right. It's just

14:37 Speaker 8: because if you particularly like the full band, we will

14:41 Speaker 8: make sure that you are coming to a full band gig,

14:43 Speaker 8: and if you particularly like the acoustic set, that you're

14:45 Speaker 8: coming down to see the acoustic stuff. But yeah, it

14:49 Speaker 8: takes a bit of work, especially with some of the

14:51 Speaker 8: guitar solos and things. We have to rework the song

14:55 Speaker 8: format to make it work for all the different variations. Yeah,

14:59 Speaker 8: but it's really good and it keeps us on our toes.

15:02 Speaker 1: Okay, So I assume three times seven started with the

15:05 Speaker 1: two of you. You're the you're obviously the core, right

15:08 Speaker 1: of the band.

15:09 Speaker 15: Yeah, that's that sweet. Yeah. We've been playing together for

15:12 Speaker 15: about sort of like eight nine years now. Oh okay,

15:15 Speaker 15: and then I used to joke that we're called three

15:18 Speaker 15: times seven because we had the twenty one honoring members

15:20 Speaker 15: that would come and play with us.

15:21 Speaker 10: Now, that would be quite the configuration.

15:26 Speaker 16: Super group and half yeah on speed up.

15:32 Speaker 1: Well, okay, so let's well, since you refer to it,

15:34 Speaker 1: let's get to the obvious question. I'm sure this is

15:36 Speaker 1: you're probably tired of answering it because you probably get

15:38 Speaker 1: asked us and every interview it is the most obvious question.

15:41 Speaker 10: But what what does the name mean?

15:44 Speaker 8: So officially, it's from a song called Tippetina, which is

15:48 Speaker 8: a New Orleans jazz standard, and in it's a line

15:51 Speaker 8: that says she was three times seven baby, and at

15:55 Speaker 8: the time I was in my early twenties and it

15:58 Speaker 8: felt pretty cool and we are Ah, it's all right,

16:00 Speaker 8: that'll do we'll change it later and then it's now

16:05 Speaker 8: later and obviously we haven't changed it. Yeah, it's also

16:09 Speaker 8: the cards. It's the best age for whiskey.

16:13 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's.

16:15 Speaker 14: Yeah.

16:15 Speaker 1: No, it's cool, and you know, it makes people curious obviously,

16:19 Speaker 1: it gives uh, it gives you something to talk about,

16:21 Speaker 1: you know, where the name comes from.

16:22 Speaker 10: I'm curious.

16:23 Speaker 1: Does anyone ever approach you and ask you like, does

16:27 Speaker 1: anyone ever kind of know have an inkling? Maybe they're

16:29 Speaker 1: maybe they're familiar with that song. Maybe they you know,

16:32 Speaker 1: maybe they love jazz. Maybe they're from New Orleans and

16:34 Speaker 1: they and they say to you, hey, does the name

16:36 Speaker 1: come from this?

16:37 Speaker 10: And they kind of know what it is. Does that

16:39 Speaker 10: ever happen?

16:41 Speaker 16: No, no, never happened, but.

16:43 Speaker 8: It would be quite amusing if it did.

16:45 Speaker 10: Yeah.

16:46 Speaker 8: Yeah, you people go, oh okay, yes I've heard that

16:48 Speaker 8: song or I haven't even heard that song before.

16:51 Speaker 1: Right right, right, So now in terms of recording, so

16:55 Speaker 1: is the full band obviously a song like wait, that's

16:58 Speaker 1: that's everybody in the band, right, that's the full Uh,

17:01 Speaker 1: that's everybody who's involved on that.

17:04 Speaker 8: We had Haley and Steve join us as well. So

17:06 Speaker 8: they are from a band called futurism, and they join

17:09 Speaker 8: us occasionally to do some harmony work. And when we

17:14 Speaker 8: get them involved as well, then we've basically become a

17:16 Speaker 8: little supergroup so that we can do all the harmonies,

17:20 Speaker 8: which is really really fun. But yes, everyone was involved

17:22 Speaker 8: in Wait, yeah.

17:25 Speaker 1: No, that's really cool, and is that your approach with all,

17:28 Speaker 1: because we're also going to play at the end of

17:30 Speaker 1: our conversation, because obviously I like to bookend the interviews

17:34 Speaker 1: with your music. So at the end we're going to

17:36 Speaker 1: play Big Train, which is another great track, and I

17:38 Speaker 1: love the video, by the way, the video is really cool.

17:42 Speaker 8: That was really fun.

17:43 Speaker 15: Yes, that's without Haley and Steve. I mean, our latest

17:47 Speaker 15: album released, Silver Linings. We've got tracks from there which

17:50 Speaker 15: are basically just Jenny and I with a little bit

17:52 Speaker 15: of piano. Oh and we have other tracks from there

17:54 Speaker 15: which I've got an Italian horn section on one track,

17:59 Speaker 15: I've got Turkish violinist on another. So yeah, it's very

18:04 Speaker 15: much a collaboration of friends and.

18:10 Speaker 1: Okay, okay, now, how do you describe your music because

18:16 Speaker 1: you know, obviously I can hear a lot of different

18:17 Speaker 1: influences in there. You know, there's some blues, there's some jazz.

18:21 Speaker 1: I mean it sounds and if I didn't know, and

18:24 Speaker 1: I hope you don't take this wrong, but if I

18:26 Speaker 1: didn't know where you were from, I would assume you

18:27 Speaker 1: were an American band, because you remind me of a

18:30 Speaker 1: lot of you know, especially out of the American South

18:32 Speaker 1: from a certain time period, music that would come from there.

18:35 Speaker 1: I mean, how do you how do you describe your music?

18:38 Speaker 1: Everyone always hates this question, but how do you describe

18:40 Speaker 1: your music and what what kinds of influences go into

18:43 Speaker 1: what you're doing?

18:45 Speaker 15: Well, I think I think that's the main thing we play.

18:47 Speaker 15: We started off as very much primarily a blues band. Yeah,

18:51 Speaker 15: and I do believe you can't play blues unless you

18:53 Speaker 15: go to the heart blue. So we did a little

18:56 Speaker 15: tour down from Chicago. We were from Louisville, Kentucky, Memphis,

18:59 Speaker 15: now Bill all the way down to New Orleans and

19:03 Speaker 15: we made it down to New Orleans for Halloween as well,

19:06 Speaker 15: Oh wow, which was a hell of an experience. And

19:09 Speaker 15: I can imagine all of that definitely influenced our music.

19:13 Speaker 15: And Jenny is a massive fan of John Cleary. Yes,

19:16 Speaker 15: it is the of the Kentish British boy who went

19:20 Speaker 15: over to New Orleans and never came back, which.

19:24 Speaker 8: A note in my heart because New Orleans is like

19:28 Speaker 8: it's awesome, Like we had such a good time on

19:29 Speaker 8: that trip. But we also have other influences as well,

19:33 Speaker 8: other than blues. We've got funk, soul rock, like all

19:37 Speaker 8: of the things that we grew up with and the

19:40 Speaker 8: music that we discovered, like it all lives in our

19:44 Speaker 8: music as well. It all comes through. So I think

19:47 Speaker 8: if I was to describe it, it's funky, solely bluesy tunes.

19:54 Speaker 15: Like every year we make we make it a habit

19:57 Speaker 15: to go and see Mayor Staples when she comes around.

19:59 Speaker 15: Oh okay, I always say, I love maybe. She plays

20:04 Speaker 15: a beautiful venue in London called the Union Chapel, and

20:08 Speaker 15: she always says, we need you should leave here feeling

20:11 Speaker 15: better than you when you arrived. So I would say,

20:13 Speaker 15: I'll started. Music is positivity. Basically, it's just making you

20:17 Speaker 15: feel better.

20:18 Speaker 5: Now.

20:19 Speaker 1: That's interesting because I saw so I was doing a

20:21 Speaker 1: little bit of research and I don't know which one

20:23 Speaker 1: of you said this, but one of you said something

20:26 Speaker 1: about approving that brew that blues is not the original emo.

20:31 Speaker 15: Yeah, that was an old basis of mine. When I

20:35 Speaker 15: first first formed this barer Jenny, he said, why would

20:39 Speaker 15: you want to play blues? Because it's just that was

20:42 Speaker 15: just the original em My music.

20:44 Speaker 1: Really, yeah, that's a that's a strange comment for a

20:49 Speaker 1: couple of different reasons.

20:50 Speaker 10: But well, so, now, so you do a longer work

20:53 Speaker 10: with that bass player, right.

20:55 Speaker 15: No, No, I don't know. He's he's retired and lives

20:57 Speaker 15: in a white picket fence with his family, went away

21:00 Speaker 15: from the music scene as he should be, right.

21:02 Speaker 1: Right, I assume he's not listening to blues because it

21:06 Speaker 1: sounds like it depresses him.

21:09 Speaker 10: So you're but so you're on a mission to prove

21:12 Speaker 10: that it's not that.

21:13 Speaker 1: Obviously I've never although I don't know why you would

21:15 Speaker 1: have to prove that because I've never heard other than him,

21:18 Speaker 1: I've never heard anyone say that to begin with.

21:20 Speaker 10: That's really interesting.

21:22 Speaker 15: Well, you've got the whole thing. I'm feeling blue, isn't it?

21:24 Speaker 14: So?

21:25 Speaker 15: Oh, blues music must be just sad. It's all about beings. Yeah,

21:28 Speaker 15: And I was brought up on a bb King and

21:30 Speaker 15: Buddy guy. You know, she's a sweet girl. Angel always

21:33 Speaker 15: spread her wings for me. Let me tell you, there's

21:35 Speaker 15: nothing sad about that.

21:37 Speaker 10: There you go, there you go absolutely how much?

21:42 Speaker 1: How much music do you have in terms of original

21:45 Speaker 1: songs that you have released as a as.

21:48 Speaker 10: A band, or or as a duo or any configuration.

21:52 Speaker 1: Do you have a lot of music that you've put

21:54 Speaker 1: out over the past, Because you said it's it's been

21:55 Speaker 1: almost a decade right that you've been together.

22:00 Speaker 15: Got about three albums, two EPs, and a few singles

22:03 Speaker 15: out on Spotify.

22:04 Speaker 8: And a new set of four tracks coming out end

22:08 Speaker 8: of this month. More tracks coming soon. Okay, we've only

22:14 Speaker 8: ever recorded and released one cover, which is I'd rather

22:20 Speaker 8: go blind. Everything else on all of our recordings is original.

22:23 Speaker 1: Okay, okay, excellent. And what's the process like in terms

22:27 Speaker 1: of writing? Do the two of you write together or

22:29 Speaker 1: how does that work?

22:31 Speaker 10: Again?

22:31 Speaker 1: I assume the I assume the core of the songwriting

22:34 Speaker 1: and the band is the two of you, but maybe

22:36 Speaker 1: not so tell me about.

22:37 Speaker 15: It much so so, I'm quite often I'll come up

22:40 Speaker 15: with an idea. I'm a big fan turning sort of

22:45 Speaker 15: like bad things on their head. I remember when we

22:48 Speaker 15: were in Chicago, it absolutely rained down and we were

22:52 Speaker 15: in the Museum of Chicago sort of learning about the

22:54 Speaker 15: history of it. Having a couple of tea in the cafe,

22:57 Speaker 15: and Jenny just wrote down and I hate it when

22:59 Speaker 15: it was into Chicago because it was really loud and

23:02 Speaker 15: we could re speak to each other. And I thought, no,

23:05 Speaker 15: I like it when it rains in Chicago, and so

23:07 Speaker 15: I wrote this entire song about how you know, actually

23:10 Speaker 15: it's great it range in Chicago and yeah, but we're

23:13 Speaker 15: dancing around in the street, and.

23:16 Speaker 8: We still kept some elements of the like the original

23:19 Speaker 8: real bluesy World where the rain is so it's soaking

23:22 Speaker 8: through my feet, absolutely drenched, like I couldn't be anyware

23:26 Speaker 8: if I dried, And so there's still some elements of

23:29 Speaker 8: that in Rain in Chicago, which is a really upbeat

23:33 Speaker 8: track that everyone loves to sing along with now so,

23:35 Speaker 8: which is lovely.

23:36 Speaker 15: Yes, it's basically taking I always think that there's a

23:39 Speaker 15: good good to find in every situation. Really for the

23:42 Speaker 15: most part. Yeah, absolutely, it's all that making people feel good.

23:46 Speaker 15: Like we have another song, Money to Burn, which I

23:50 Speaker 15: think Jenny did most of the lyrics song, which was

23:52 Speaker 15: all basically about you know, I should have a ton

23:55 Speaker 15: of cash to go out and spend on someone and

23:57 Speaker 15: have a really good time. But I don't. But it's okay,

24:01 Speaker 15: because we've got to go out and have a good

24:02 Speaker 15: sign many way, even though we should be.

24:04 Speaker 8: You know, yes, sitting in a nice restaurant thinking.

24:06 Speaker 15: Champagne, so that even if we can't do that, it's

24:08 Speaker 15: still going to be good and maybe one day we

24:10 Speaker 15: will and it'll be fine.

24:11 Speaker 1: Yeah, right, No, that's very cool, very cool. Yeah, I

24:15 Speaker 1: get the impression. You know, there seems to be a

24:17 Speaker 1: lot of positivity in your music. Are there is there

24:20 Speaker 1: anyone else where you're from who is doing what you do?

24:24 Speaker 1: Because like I said, you know, I hear so many

24:26 Speaker 1: American influences in your music, and obviously, you know, uh,

24:31 Speaker 1: music from the UK in the past has been a

24:33 Speaker 1: tremendous influence on American music, obviously, But but I'm.

24:36 Speaker 10: Curious, like, who is there anyone else in your area.

24:38 Speaker 1: Who's kind of doing what what you're doing and with

24:41 Speaker 1: this particular mix of influences, is there anybody we should

24:45 Speaker 1: know about from over there who's.

24:49 Speaker 15: There's a lot of purists in funk purists and blues purists,

24:53 Speaker 15: and we get on well with all of them. Yeah,

24:55 Speaker 15: and we in the same bill as all of them.

24:56 Speaker 15: But I haven't really met anyone who's quite doing it

24:58 Speaker 15: the way that we do it.

25:00 Speaker 8: Yeah, there are some ful bands locally to hear though.

25:03 Speaker 8: We're very lucky that we get to play alongside some really,

25:06 Speaker 8: really good musicians on a regular basis. There's a band

25:11 Speaker 8: called Twin two Weeks in Nashville. They're very good.

25:14 Speaker 15: There's a light yeah, but again they're very different times,

25:18 Speaker 15: so much more the sort of like the indie rocky

25:20 Speaker 15: side of what we do. As There's another great band

25:23 Speaker 15: Canada Hill Yeah.

25:26 Speaker 8: Velveteen Orchestra. They're very much more muse kind of sounding.

25:31 Speaker 8: They've got this lovely, beautiful singing voice, unbelievable. But yeah,

25:36 Speaker 8: I wouldn't say there's many people that do what we do.

25:40 Speaker 10: Yeah.

25:41 Speaker 15: I always think that that's that's our biggest strength. That

25:43 Speaker 15: was the fact that you know, I will take in general,

25:46 Speaker 15: take inspiration from anywhere. We're not that. We do a

25:49 Speaker 15: really fun version of Sledgehammer by Peter Gabriel, which we

25:56 Speaker 15: try and doing the sort of There's a band called

25:59 Speaker 15: the Brand New Heavy. I did this really crunky version

26:02 Speaker 15: of it, absolutely brilliant, worth checking out, and so we

26:05 Speaker 15: kind of took that and moved it slightly more towards

26:07 Speaker 15: Prince okay, and sort of to get that even more

26:10 Speaker 15: sort of like that more Prince funk rather than the

26:13 Speaker 15: sort of I guess you call it sort of average

26:17 Speaker 15: white band fund thing going.

26:19 Speaker 8: It's it's pretty funky, brilliant.

26:22 Speaker 15: We've had people come up to us afterwards. She said,

26:24 Speaker 15: that's my favorite song. And I still think that's my favorite.

26:28 Speaker 1: You know, I have a memory, by the way of

26:32 Speaker 1: when when I was a kid, my mother sitting there

26:35 Speaker 1: with her walkman and and her headphones on and just

26:38 Speaker 1: listening to Sledgehammer over and over.

26:40 Speaker 10: She loved it so much.

26:42 Speaker 8: It's a really good tune, and it's got lots of

26:44 Speaker 8: different parts, which is what makes it so fun, and

26:47 Speaker 8: you can really play with the timings and pull on things,

26:51 Speaker 8: and yeah, it's it's a it's a really fun song

26:53 Speaker 8: to play.

26:54 Speaker 1: Is there a studio version of that that you've done

26:56 Speaker 1: or do you only do that live?

26:58 Speaker 15: I know it's that's all your life. So we've only

26:59 Speaker 15: had recorded one song as a cover. Currently, I'm toiling

27:03 Speaker 15: with the idea of taking the Badge into the studio

27:05 Speaker 15: and doing a sort of this is the set kind

27:08 Speaker 15: of thing, a bit like what the Beetles sipp please

27:10 Speaker 15: please meet, because while I'm a huge number two, we're

27:15 Speaker 15: starting to sound really really sort of like tight live

27:20 Speaker 15: with this particular set, so it'd be nice to kind

27:21 Speaker 15: of like capture it.

27:23 Speaker 1: No doubt, I agree to do that. What is the

27:26 Speaker 1: one cover that you've recorded.

27:28 Speaker 15: And so I'd rather go blind Sie James.

27:31 Speaker 10: Okay, okay, any particular reason you chose that.

27:35 Speaker 15: It was so we don't. As we said, we're quite positive.

27:38 Speaker 15: So when we do sad songs, they really do hit.

27:42 Speaker 15: And I remember we were doing this tiny gig and

27:45 Speaker 15: this little pub in Sustan and there was a woman

27:47 Speaker 15: at the bar who came up to us at the

27:49 Speaker 15: end and was, as she goes, I heard you play

27:52 Speaker 15: that song. I've just gone through a divorce and this

27:55 Speaker 15: is the first time I've actually cried.

27:57 Speaker 8: And she was in a state. I gave her a

28:00 Speaker 8: hug and like She's like, I just I felt like

28:02 Speaker 8: I needed to have a release and this this was

28:05 Speaker 8: that moment and it was it was really beautiful and

28:07 Speaker 8: it really touched us how emotional people got over this

28:11 Speaker 8: particular song. We played it a couple of times. We've

28:13 Speaker 8: had people in tears and it was it was it's

28:16 Speaker 8: a beautiful feeling. It's a really hard feeling as a

28:19 Speaker 8: singer because I just want to give him a big cuddle.

28:22 Speaker 8: But it really does. It speaks. It's it's quite vocal,

28:27 Speaker 8: it's quite loud in the way that it's emotive.

28:30 Speaker 15: And again we've kind of mashed it up a little bit.

28:32 Speaker 15: So the original song was just a two chord song,

28:34 Speaker 15: but I pulled in a couple of sort of like

28:37 Speaker 15: hints from Hallelujah. So it'll start off and so everyone's like, oh,

28:41 Speaker 15: this is going to be you know, Jeff Buckby like

28:42 Speaker 15: quibble song there, and then breaks into I'd Rather Go

28:46 Speaker 15: Blind and it kind of really hits on that big

28:48 Speaker 15: emotional level.

28:49 Speaker 10: Yeah, oh wow, I'd have to listen to that. Interesting live.

28:54 Speaker 8: We always say, right, we're gonna do a sad song

28:56 Speaker 8: and then I promise you a happy song.

28:57 Speaker 16: At again, because it's what yeah, yeah, yeah, in terms

29:05 Speaker 16: of being you know, we were talking about how you

29:09 Speaker 16: stand out in your scene, right because there's nobody else

29:11 Speaker 16: kind of doing what you're doing in this mix of influences,

29:13 Speaker 16: and you know.

29:14 Speaker 1: You've got the purists who uh maybe uh you know,

29:18 Speaker 1: wouldn't wouldn't dare do what you're doing.

29:20 Speaker 10: But does that do you find that that's an advantage

29:23 Speaker 10: for you?

29:24 Speaker 1: From my vantage point, just getting to know, just getting

29:27 Speaker 1: familiar with the project, it seems like that's a big

29:30 Speaker 1: advantage because you know, everything is so there's so much

29:33 Speaker 1: there's so much noise to cut through. So if you

29:35 Speaker 1: can do something that makes you stand out, I think

29:37 Speaker 1: it's an advantage, you know. But the other side of

29:40 Speaker 1: that being maybe you have some people who are like,

29:42 Speaker 1: oh no, I don't understand how to Some people can't

29:45 Speaker 1: deal with not being able to categorize things. You know

29:47 Speaker 1: a lot of people in the industry they have to

29:50 Speaker 1: be able to categorize things, and that happens in radio too,

29:52 Speaker 1: with radio formats. Do you think it's Do you think

29:55 Speaker 1: it's an advantage though, to be able to stand out?

29:58 Speaker 15: I think live really and fantastic because we're not we're

30:03 Speaker 15: definitely not playing the same song over and over and

30:05 Speaker 15: over again. With variety, the ability to change the lineup

30:09 Speaker 15: as quickly as we do the different things means we

30:11 Speaker 15: can never turn I'm not turning down gigs. If I

30:14 Speaker 15: go up to a place and they're like, we can

30:16 Speaker 15: afford to give you half of that, I can offer

30:18 Speaker 15: them half the bands. You know, that's really good. But

30:21 Speaker 15: when it comes to things like radio play, when it

30:24 Speaker 15: comes to put the things on playlists and things, because

30:26 Speaker 15: all of our songs are so different, it means that

30:29 Speaker 15: I can show them one song and they'll be like, hey,

30:32 Speaker 15: that's brilliant. Have you got anything else like this?

30:35 Speaker 8: No, we've now started finding like sister songs, so there

30:41 Speaker 8: are a couple of songs that if you particularly like

30:44 Speaker 8: our song Shiver, you're quite likely to like Still Dawn,

30:48 Speaker 8: for example, because they're a bit rockier. But it's it's

30:53 Speaker 8: quite nice to be a mixed bag. It means that

30:56 Speaker 8: we can fit in with everyone. But sometimes if we're

30:58 Speaker 8: going to apply for like a blues festival, for example,

31:02 Speaker 8: it's very difficult because we're not straight blues. It's a

31:06 Speaker 8: bit more straight blues and so it's a bluesy rock

31:11 Speaker 8: song or it's a bluesy soul song, but it's still

31:13 Speaker 8: got the influences there. So sometimes it's a detriment. But

31:17 Speaker 8: if we do get on the playlist, it's lovely because

31:21 Speaker 8: we then can do something that's slightly different, and you know,

31:25 Speaker 8: if you're listening to blues all day, which is lovely

31:28 Speaker 8: and I love blues. It's quite nice to have something

31:31 Speaker 8: that's bluesy rather than just straight twelve bar. It's something

31:35 Speaker 8: that's a little bit more something for you is to

31:38 Speaker 8: cheer on if you like.

31:39 Speaker 1: Right right, absolutely, I read something too about it. Do

31:43 Speaker 1: you have a tour coming up in September?

31:48 Speaker 15: Yeah, so not this September, but next September. We are

31:50 Speaker 15: going back to Europe for our third third go round.

31:56 Speaker 15: It's really good fun. I love touring Europe. Last time

31:59 Speaker 15: we've got to play some very fun shows, including a

32:01 Speaker 15: couple of prisons just aside of Frankfurt, I think Johnny

32:05 Speaker 15: Cash or end of the Blues Brothers. So they did

32:08 Speaker 15: get up and dance. It was good fun.

32:10 Speaker 1: Oh yes, yes, and Johnny Cash of course you have

32:12 Speaker 1: awesome prison blues yep.

32:15 Speaker 8: Oh yes, that was really interesting. So we were there

32:18 Speaker 8: as a reward basically for those people who got merits, oh,

32:23 Speaker 8: which is that they use within Europe. So the prisoners

32:26 Speaker 8: that were able to attend had to have been on

32:29 Speaker 8: best behaviors basically, and they had to be approved by

32:32 Speaker 8: the person who runs the prison, and then they had

32:34 Speaker 8: to write a letter to say why they wanted to attend.

32:37 Speaker 8: And then that got further approved. So the people that

32:40 Speaker 8: actually ended up in the room with us whilst we

32:42 Speaker 8: were playing the music. These guys haven't heard music for ages.

32:45 Speaker 8: They haven't even had a rape, like, so they're so

32:48 Speaker 8: excited about live music. And then afterwards we spent about

32:52 Speaker 8: an hour with them just talking about fans who they'd

32:55 Speaker 8: send play live, what instruments they used to play. They

32:59 Speaker 8: they were so, they were so up, they were it

33:02 Speaker 8: was such a lovely, lovely experience. It's a bizarre experience.

33:05 Speaker 15: Which is great because when I first heard Reward, I

33:08 Speaker 15: thought I thought it suffered enough called they were our

33:14 Speaker 15: most captive ordierence.

33:16 Speaker 1: That's perfect, that's awesome. Yeah, how many bands can say

33:21 Speaker 1: that that they've played that kind of show. That's that's

33:22 Speaker 1: really cool. That's really cool.

33:25 Speaker 8: I would do it again though. It was absolutely amazing.

33:28 Speaker 15: Really on the next tour we will be going through

33:31 Speaker 15: a couple of shows again.

33:33 Speaker 10: Yeah, that's great. That's great.

33:35 Speaker 1: By the way, so you said that, and now the

33:37 Speaker 1: European tour is not this September, but next September.

33:40 Speaker 15: Ne September twenty twenty six.

33:42 Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, so you're you're planning, you're planning pretty far ahead,

33:45 Speaker 1: which is great because most musicians are not good at

33:47 Speaker 1: long term planning.

33:49 Speaker 8: But it's an expensive endeavor and with us, all the

33:54 Speaker 8: money we make from playing live goes into the band,

33:57 Speaker 8: so it takes us a little while to save up

33:59 Speaker 8: for it all because by the time you've got hotels

34:02 Speaker 8: and ferries and all the other things that we need,

34:04 Speaker 8: it is quite an expensive trip. But it's so worth

34:07 Speaker 8: it for meeting the people playing in these wonderful venues

34:11 Speaker 8: like and just having some time as a band together.

34:13 Speaker 8: It's really it's worth it. But yeah, it does take

34:16 Speaker 8: us a little while to save up.

34:17 Speaker 5: Yeah.

34:18 Speaker 2: Yeah.

34:19 Speaker 15: Also, I don't know what it's like in the US,

34:21 Speaker 15: but in the UK festivals will be booking for summer

34:25 Speaker 15: twenty twenty six in October. Pubs will be fully booked

34:30 Speaker 15: up by the end of December for the next year,

34:33 Speaker 15: So you have to be really, really on it otherwise

34:37 Speaker 15: you're picking up the scraps unfortunately.

34:39 Speaker 1: Right, And that's the same everywhere in the US festivals. Yeah,

34:42 Speaker 1: they're they're planning, you know, a way in advance. It's

34:46 Speaker 1: funny that that comes up because we had talked about

34:50 Speaker 1: we do a lot of music industry news on the

34:52 Speaker 1: show too, and there was I forget what it was called,

34:54 Speaker 1: that there was a country music festival here that had

34:57 Speaker 1: to be canceled kind of at the last minute. They

34:59 Speaker 1: were re funding tickets because they tried to do this.

35:02 Speaker 1: They tried to put together this big festival with only

35:06 Speaker 1: three months of lead time, and it got to be

35:09 Speaker 1: it got to be like three weeks before before showtime,

35:13 Speaker 1: and they started refunding everybody's tickets because you know, they

35:17 Speaker 1: just couldn't do it. So, yeah, festivals take tremendous long

35:20 Speaker 1: term planning and things even still go wrong. But but yeah,

35:24 Speaker 1: if you get if you get out and play festivals,

35:25 Speaker 1: that's great.

35:27 Speaker 15: Well, it's funny you mentioned that. So there's quite a

35:29 Speaker 15: few things on like Netflix at the moment about things

35:32 Speaker 15: like obviously like fire fests and things like that. Well,

35:35 Speaker 15: and Jenny's real real job, head job from nine to five,

35:38 Speaker 15: is in events organizing. Oh so perfect loves and obviously

35:43 Speaker 15: knows all this, this is the amount of stuff that's

35:45 Speaker 15: going to go involved and just loves watching these trainmates

35:48 Speaker 15: going I know exactly what's going to happen seconds into

35:50 Speaker 15: the dog and.

35:51 Speaker 8: Just thinking about trying to organize a festival in three

35:54 Speaker 8: months all that that said, shit was down my spine. No, no,

35:57 Speaker 8: thank you please.

35:58 Speaker 10: Right, not very I know, I know, yeah, it's it's

36:01 Speaker 10: it's crazy.

36:02 Speaker 1: They thought they could do it, but they learned the

36:04 Speaker 1: hard way and probably it probably cost them a lot

36:06 Speaker 1: of money. But uh yeah no, that's great though that

36:10 Speaker 1: you're going to be doing festivals, have you you've done

36:12 Speaker 1: festivals before, I assume right.

36:14 Speaker 8: Oh yeah, yeah. So this year we played a little

36:17 Speaker 8: festival called Gilfest which is just southeast of England, which

36:20 Speaker 8: was really good fun. And we've played Wayfest and.

36:24 Speaker 15: We've got.

36:26 Speaker 9: The park.

36:26 Speaker 15: Yeah, pub of the Park was fun.

36:29 Speaker 8: Any we love the festival. So it's really fun. And

36:32 Speaker 8: because again you get such a lovely mix of different

36:34 Speaker 8: sounds at the festivals, it's actually a bit easier for

36:38 Speaker 8: us to fit in a little bit because because everyone's

36:42 Speaker 8: so open to listening to original songs and different things,

36:46 Speaker 8: and so it's a it's a really nice melting pot

36:48 Speaker 8: of people to play to.

36:50 Speaker 15: Also, I do love a good locally made beer and

36:53 Speaker 15: quite a lot of these festivals now have these little

36:55 Speaker 15: parker breweries come along, so it's a great opportunity to

36:58 Speaker 15: go and test taste.

36:59 Speaker 10: Some is oh that's very cool.

37:01 Speaker 1: Yeah, but yeah, I think a festival, I mean, that's

37:03 Speaker 1: such a great opportunity anytime you can play a festival

37:06 Speaker 1: to get in front of a big audience. And also

37:08 Speaker 1: a festival audience I feel is more open to being surprised.

37:13 Speaker 10: You know, if there's.

37:14 Speaker 1: A band there they're not familiar with, and then the

37:16 Speaker 1: band comes out and they play a set or they

37:18 Speaker 1: you know, they start that first song and you know

37:20 Speaker 1: you're in the audience and it's like, Okay, this isn't

37:22 Speaker 1: quite what I expected, or you know, that's that's a

37:25 Speaker 1: lot of fun. That's one of the fun things about

37:27 Speaker 1: a festival is being surprised by some of the artists

37:30 Speaker 1: who you're not familiar with, who end up sounding like

37:33 Speaker 1: something you maybe weren't expecting, or a mix of things

37:35 Speaker 1: that you weren't expecting.

37:38 Speaker 8: We love that as well. We love discovering new music,

37:40 Speaker 8: and if we're ever invited to a festival, we'll make

37:42 Speaker 8: sure that we go and see the other stages and

37:44 Speaker 8: go and see what's going on and make sure we're

37:47 Speaker 8: making some friends.

37:48 Speaker 15: Yeah, stories of sort of going to Hyde Park back

37:51 Speaker 15: in the day and going to go see the Rolling

37:53 Speaker 15: Stones for free and then, or what's this band overhead? Oh?

37:56 Speaker 15: This is this is a new band called Free and

37:58 Speaker 15: this is a new band called Blind Faith or something.

38:02 Speaker 15: And they're like, oh that's pretty cool. Yeah, go check

38:04 Speaker 15: them out. And you're like, of course you did, you

38:05 Speaker 15: sort of free right.

38:10 Speaker 1: Right right exactly. I'm gonna so it's been wonderful speaking

38:15 Speaker 1: with you. The time goes quickly, but I'm going to

38:17 Speaker 1: let you go in a minute, but I'm going to

38:19 Speaker 1: play at the end of our conversation. I want to

38:21 Speaker 1: play this track, Big Train. This is the newest single

38:24 Speaker 1: correct Big Train. Yeah, what can you tell me about

38:28 Speaker 1: the video?

38:28 Speaker 10: The video is really impressive.

38:31 Speaker 8: Thank you. So the video is filmed at a little

38:34 Speaker 8: local train station to us called the bluebellt Railway, and

38:38 Speaker 8: they specialize in bringing back old steam trains basically, and

38:43 Speaker 8: it's just this one little line that they go up

38:45 Speaker 8: and down on, but they rebuild steam trains and they

38:48 Speaker 8: try and keep it as original as possible. So all

38:52 Speaker 8: the stations are well, they're nineteen twenties nineteen thirties style.

38:57 Speaker 8: They're beautiful and they all wear the old uniforms and

39:02 Speaker 8: the steam trains coming in out. It's a really fun

39:04 Speaker 8: place to be and we turned up there and said,

39:07 Speaker 8: you know, would you mind very much if we made

39:10 Speaker 8: a little video whilst we're here, as we're a local

39:14 Speaker 8: band and we'd love to showcase the Blue Bell And

39:17 Speaker 8: they said absolutely, And then they let us into the

39:19 Speaker 8: ticket booth, They let us into the signal box. We

39:22 Speaker 8: were allowed to stand on the trains like we had

39:24 Speaker 8: the best day. They let us in all these like

39:26 Speaker 8: amazing little places. We got to go in the carriages,

39:29 Speaker 8: we rode the trains. It was it was so fun.

39:32 Speaker 15: I think the whole thing was shot in about three hours.

39:34 Speaker 7: Yeah.

39:34 Speaker 10: Wow.

39:36 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's so cool too that they were so

39:40 Speaker 1: cool about it, because you walk into that situation not knowing,

39:42 Speaker 1: right are they going to be like, oh I got

39:44 Speaker 1: to get an approval from my boss for you to

39:47 Speaker 1: be here, or you need a permit or whatever, right.

39:49 Speaker 10: But they just they just let you do it. Huh.

39:51 Speaker 10: That's great.

39:52 Speaker 8: I think we were quite chill and they and we

39:54 Speaker 8: were quite happy. We didn't need to close We weren't

39:57 Speaker 8: trying to close down any stations to do filming. Yeah,

40:00 Speaker 8: they do lots of like the old puaros and like

40:02 Speaker 8: the beautiful BBC productions that look amazing, but they have

40:05 Speaker 8: to close the station down for those. We were like, no, no,

40:08 Speaker 8: we're fine. We'll just stand down the end of the

40:10 Speaker 8: platform and do our bit. Like we don't we don't

40:12 Speaker 8: need to close anything, we don't need to separate anything off.

40:15 Speaker 8: And it's just the two of us and our friend

40:18 Speaker 8: Josh with his camera. Yeah, and I think it's come

40:21 Speaker 8: out really nicely. I think it shows how much fun

40:22 Speaker 8: we were having as well.

40:24 Speaker 15: Yeah, a friend of mine, how did you do that

40:26 Speaker 15: short of you standing at the end of the platform

40:28 Speaker 15: with playing guitar or the train goes by it, So

40:30 Speaker 15: that's quite easy. I waited for the train to come,

40:32 Speaker 15: then I went to the end of the platform and

40:34 Speaker 15: started playing the guitar.

40:36 Speaker 10: Was that scary at all?

40:37 Speaker 1: Were you an all concerned that you were going to

40:39 Speaker 1: get like knocked over by the you know, the wind

40:42 Speaker 1: from the train or anything.

40:45 Speaker 15: No, it's all good. I was. I was thought I

40:47 Speaker 15: was in safe hands.

40:48 Speaker 10: Okay, oh that's good, that's good.

40:51 Speaker 15: And they were hands. But I just told myself was fine.

40:54 Speaker 10: Right right, well, very good.

40:56 Speaker 1: Yeah, And I encourage people to check out the video.

40:58 Speaker 1: It's it's uh, it is excellent And where should people

41:01 Speaker 1: go where's the best place to go to keep up

41:04 Speaker 1: with everything that you're doing, with everything that three times

41:06 Speaker 1: seven is doing.

41:07 Speaker 10: Where should they go online?

41:08 Speaker 8: So the best place is our website, which is www.

41:12 Speaker 8: Dot the number three, the word times the number seven,

41:15 Speaker 8: dot co, dot uk okay, and that has got all

41:19 Speaker 8: the links on it for our social media. It's got

41:21 Speaker 8: all the dates that we're playing, it's got information about

41:24 Speaker 8: us as the band, it's got photos, it's got all

41:26 Speaker 8: sorts of things on there. So that's that's our main

41:29 Speaker 8: hub of information. But if not, we're on Facebook, we're

41:32 Speaker 8: on Instagram, we're on TikTok, we're on all sorts of things. So, yeah,

41:37 Speaker 8: we're fairly easy to find.

41:39 Speaker 10: You are easy to find.

41:40 Speaker 15: Yes, I would warn you that. It turns out I

41:43 Speaker 15: thought three times seven terrible band name, no one else

41:46 Speaker 15: would have it. There is an electronic drum and bass

41:49 Speaker 15: band I believe in the Netherlands called three times seven.

41:52 Speaker 15: So if you start hearing some sort of like drum

41:56 Speaker 15: beats and stuff like that and the technical techno techno,

42:00 Speaker 15: you might have the room one.

42:01 Speaker 1: Yeah, just imagine like, uh, yeah, I didn't stumble upon

42:04 Speaker 1: them when looking you guys up, But yeah, that would

42:07 Speaker 1: be funny, being like, wow, I didn't think they were

42:08 Speaker 1: that versatile to this.

42:10 Speaker 10: This is really different.

42:13 Speaker 15: One of the shows in the Netherlands, someone came up

42:15 Speaker 15: to me and was when this isn't what I was expecting.

42:18 Speaker 15: I'm so glad you're not the other back.

42:20 Speaker 1: Oh that's funny, that's funny, that's amazing.

42:25 Speaker 10: Uh well, yeah, so we're gonna play this.
