Speaker 2: That is cool. That is Rabbits for Sale. That's the band. The track is called they Don't Know, And we have the guys here in studio with us. We're going to introduce them in just a moment. Before that, of course, we heard a brand new single from Hope the Rapper that is called Snapchat. As we are in week number eight of our ten weeks of brand new singles from our friend Hope the Rapper. That's the world radio premiere of Snapchat. And today, of course, is Saturday, August third, twoenty twenty four, and I am not alone.
Speaker 12: Bet, Good morning, Sunshine.
Speaker 2: Jenny is here at the news table. Good morning, good morning. I am president accountable.
Speaker 5: That is my favorite Hope the Rappers, is it?

Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, very cool. Can you believe it's week eight?
Speaker 13: No?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Two more yeah, yeah two more awesome? Yeah yeah, absolutely absolutely a brand new track every week. But uh, and we have a very full show for you by joining us right now in studio. Let me get the mics up for these guys. We have rabbits for sale. Hey guys, Hello, what's up. Let's do this and we're gonna play some more of your music, of course in a couple of minutes. But Jet, let's start with you in the corner, and if we can just go around and you can each tell me who you are, what you do in the band, and you have any other pertinence of course.
Speaker 14: Yeah.
Speaker 5: My name is Jet Harris Lack.
Speaker 15: I play guitar, the guitar, and I sing lead vocals,
Speaker 15: and I guess i'll patch the spencer all right, kind.
Speaker 16: Of lighting up spencer the keyboards for the band. I do some background vocals as well.
Speaker 2: All right, yeah, all right, very good.
Speaker 17: And you vance Carpenter. I played bass in the band. And a fun fact about me, I like mac and cheese.
Speaker 5: You like mac and cheese, that's crazy. I like mac and cheese too. I can change.
Speaker 18: I'm Oliver Kine.
Speaker 19: I'm the drummer for the band, and uh, I also do a lot of the managing and I did the production on the EP.
Speaker 2: Oh no kidding, Oh, very cool, very cool. Where did you uh? Where did you record that?
Speaker 19: So we recorded that with a friend of ours, David Porter, up in his home studio in Foxborough.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, it sounds great, thank you, thank you. So as home studio, you said, yeah, he he used to.
Speaker 19: Have a studio way back when in Boston called Mixed One Studio, I believe. Okay, but you know, things happen. So now he has his own little studio that he has in his basement. He does his own stuff. He's done audio production stuff for a while.
Speaker 18: So uh low shout out to Dave Porter, of course.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, no, he did a great job. Everything sounds really good. You know, I'm old enough to remember when you know, the home studio thing wasn't really a thing, you know, so now you know, we live in an era and you know, you guys are are fortunate. You know, you're young guys, you know growing up in an era where you know, you have so many different options in terms of how you record, and it's you know, you can you can do something like that in a home studio quote unquote, and it sounds like it was done in a million dollar studio, you know.
Speaker 15: You know, it's just so much more accessible now, like oh yeah, mak and produce music and you know, and get it out there for millions to hear.
Speaker 5: So it's really great.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, and there's still you know, there's a lot of great studios around. It's interesting how that that continues as well. It's like, even though you have all these different options for how you record, there's still a lot of professional studios around that continue to thrive. It's I think it's because there's just more people making music than ever, you know, because of the Internet. Like I said, you know, I when I was growing up, we didn't have the Internet yet, so you know, it was it was kind of ah, you didn't have a lot of opportunities to really get your music out there, you know, unless you got signed to a record label and all that.
Speaker 2: But but today there's so many different ways to to record and to distribute music. It's it's really wonderful and uh, there's more music than ever. Yeah, I'm really curious to ask you guys about influences and and how you kind of define your sound because and I'm sure you've probably heard this a million times, but you know it's it's unique. I couldn't think of anybody as I was listening to the songs, you know, I was trying to figure out who you remind me of. And I'm not sure. I mean, I heard maybe a little bit of Vampire Weekend at least on one of the songs, But but I like you guys a lot better than I like Vampire Weekend, So so I don't know if that even works.
Speaker 2: But uh, I mean, talk to me about that, Like I'm I I'm gonna guess that there's like a mix of terms of.
Speaker 15: Yeah, yeah, yeah. So like you know, we all, you know, I grew up listening to a whole bunch of stuff. A lot of like a lot of us grew up on little classics, you know, Beatles, you know, and like you know, led Zeppelin and like Queen and all of these classic rock influences that kind of like shaped or like are kind of our taste for music. And then we kind of broadened out and like you know, like we listened to really obscure acts like will Wood and the Tape Worms is one that like we all really it's one that we really listen to a lot, and you know, it's very very small, small much smaller artists.
Speaker 15: You know that they have more of like a more of a cult following on the internet. But like and that's sort of like, I don't know, that was really inspiring to us. Yeah, you know, starting out and you know, releasing music also on the internet, and like, you know, it's just like it's a different way to reach an audience.
Speaker 20: So it was.
Speaker 15: And I'm sure Aliver you have influences you want to talk about as well.
Speaker 19: Yeah, yeah, I think, you know, we all had different backgrounds and a lot of different music that we do listen to.
Speaker 18: Like I'm a big Elliot Smith guy.
Speaker 19: That's my my go to guy for sure, and that comes through on some of my tracks and like some of the stuff I do, but it also mixes with like something Spencer or Advanced would do at the same time.
Speaker 17: Yeah, yeah, I think we all have a lot of different influences, which makes writing music together very interesting and also challenging at times. Yeah yeah, and also just like I think we're still trying to find our sound as well.
Speaker 12: But yeah, I mean, I I can't really.
Speaker 17: I mean there's bands that we like to play like, we'll play like some covers, I know, like the rare Occasions.
Speaker 12: Is kind of I think.
Speaker 17: Yeah, I mean when I describe like what kind of music I play to people, I usually say like alternatives.
Speaker 12: Really broader.
Speaker 15: We also kind of dip into like the folky or acoustic stuff too, which is like but not as much as probably other indiacts, which is a you know, but yeah, like Van said it, you know it is it is a challenge, and like we're still finding our sound. You find on this EP, we sort of do meander. It's a stew that's why we called it the Rap. Yeah, it's supposed to be, you know, and because it's it's kind of like, you know, a meld of our influences and it's kind of meandering through all of those different flavors of music.
Speaker 5: So yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: No, I think that's a big part of what makes it so interesting to listen to. You know, as I'm listening to the four tracks, I mean they all they all kind of sound like the same band, but at the same time, they're very they're very different, different textures in the songs, and I forget which one I I emailed, I I forget which one I said was my favorite.
Speaker 18: I'll be okay, I'll be okay.
Speaker 2: That's yeah, that one, that one especially, really that really gets me.
Speaker 18: But thank you?
Speaker 2: Do you guys? Are you playing out a lot? Do you play a lot of shows?
Speaker 12: Yes, we actually have a show today.
Speaker 2: Oh, that's right, you've got something tonight. Yeah, we should definitely plug that. Yeah, of course.
Speaker 15: Yeah, we're playing at the Tributary Brewing Company, Kitterymain. We're gonna be playing from four to six, so if you're in the area show, we'll chicks out, get it, get get get some Bruce Kis and listen to some great music.
Speaker 5: Gona a good time. And then what else do we have coming up?
Speaker 12: We have our next one after that.
Speaker 18: Is we're gonna play Newburyport Brewery. I forget the day on it. The tent that is the tenth.
Speaker 12: That's gonna be a little later in the day.
Speaker 19: Yeah, it'll be a little later, well like six or something like that. I forget the exact time on that one. But then we play Midway Cafe on the thirty first as well.
Speaker 18: Just another one right there.
Speaker 2: Excellent, excellent. I would imagine with your sound you guys can play a lot of different kinds of places like right, because you're not you know, you're not a metal band, so you're not like super loud, but you're not you know, you're not just like like an acoustic act either, so you know, it's not like you're you know, you're kind of just doing coffee shops, right, Like you can probably fit in almost anywhere, I would imagine.
Speaker 15: Yeah, we really do try to like broad, keep it broad because you know, you know, we you know, we have a lot of Yeah, we do have a huge dynamic range, you know, where we can really play something that's really like kind of forward, more punk, and then kind of yeah, more soft.
Speaker 17: You know, it's just yeah, and I think we have some acoustic stuff too, so it depends. Sometimes we play like an electric set, but it's also nice to be able to play an acoustic set.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, yeah, when.
Speaker 19: We need to, even like every now and then, we also build to like some jazz because we all and we all also come from like a jazz background. We played in the jazz group for a while all together, and yeah, that is kind of like when we all knew each other from school in general, but we also played you know in our high school we were in the jazz combo together.
Speaker 18: So the award winning jazz combo.
Speaker 2: Oh no kidding, Oh yeah, oh very cool, very cool.
Speaker 19: So yeah, yeah, we we all kind of met each other and started playing through that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you guys were all in school together.
Speaker 20: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh excellent, excellent and Jet. Now your father was selling me you you play, or at least in the I think in the video. I watched the video of you guys were doing something for the auditioning for the NP. Yeah, yes, Tiny Desk concert, and I talked to your dad. I assume he told you about this. I'd stopped in at the store and he was telling me about the guitar that was his that did you play?
Speaker 5: Yeah, so that less Paul. Yeah, it's gotta got some history, I guess. You know.
Speaker 15: He he was a huge He was into all the crazy hair metal bands and stuff. So he's yeah, you know, he he was. Randy Rose was a player that really that really inspired him. So he went and got a guitar that was just like his. Yeah, like the Floyd Rose style bridge kind of and the in lays and stuff.
Speaker 5: It's a it's a really gorgeous guitar yea, but yeah it's kind of a family Ireland.
Speaker 15: Now I kind of I kind of did he loan it to you or did he give it to That's cool and that must be so cool for him to to to see you ye use, you know, and not sitting just collect right, you know, it's getting the love it deserves, you know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's that's excellent. Well, we should play another track and if you don't mind. Now, normally I would I would say what should what should we play next? But I I might be selfish in play I'll be Okay because that is that is my personal favorite of these. I absolutely love that song. You so we will uh oh we should mention too. Are these on an album or is this just a collection of singles? These are part of our EP called rabbit stew Okay, gotcha? How many tracks are on the EP?
Speaker 5: Six six tricks?
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, very good. Well let's give this a listen and then we'll go gonna We're gonna come back and talk to these guys some more. We have rabbits for sale with us live in studio. But this is my favorite.
Speaker 21: This is called I'll be Okay.
Speaker 1: M hm.
Speaker 3: Begathers time.
Speaker 22: Guys, there's nothing to do, nothing to spatter when your life is saving.
Speaker 6: Any us, how come you?
Speaker 22: It gets the sound of shadow glass as the empty army watson this song.
Speaker 3: But let's go for.
Speaker 6: A walk through the tall four let's look at all the trees that just refer us sinning. My last grade.
Speaker 22: Had a tragic blot about a young guy like me forgetting what he thoughts.
Speaker 6: Help me get this man.
Speaker 22: He's done nothing now, but I hate his fay.
Speaker 6: You send away.
Speaker 22: Heat sacks and she's caught in throat as we joke on eyes don't buy cable mill's house with right yellow eies. So I had on my phone says it just for seeing dot on sawbles, not.
Speaker 6: Spy fundas, and so.
Speaker 2: It gets. It gets so quiet at the end, but but I didn't want to. I was reluctant to talk over it because it's so pretty with the piano.
Speaker 12: I really love that one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that is so good. That is so good. That is called I'll be okay. And if you're just doing us. The band is Rabbits for Sale and they're here with us live in studio on this Saturday morning. Hey, where does the name come? From Rabbits for Sale.
Speaker 16: So we uh, and I used to play in an older, just high school band mostly just for fun, and on on our way to practice one time we saw this sign on our way there and it said Rabbits for sale. It was just like, you know, a guy selling rabbits and he just had a sign out and we just thought we were like, yeah, that's cool, that's a cool name.
Speaker 2: I'm almost surprised someone Didn't'm almost surprised someone didn't have it already.
Speaker 18: I hope not.
Speaker 2: I was worried.
Speaker 12: I was worried to do We're going to brute force their way.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I can tell you. I'm sure you realize this if if you try to look you guys up on Facebook, you got to type in rabbits for sale band. Yeah, yeah, because otherwise, because it turns out, and I had no idea how many people on Facebook we're selling rabbits.
Speaker 15: Turns out it's a lot, a lot of there's a lot of rabbits thills. I mean yeah, I mean there's a lot of them to go around. So, I mean, what you're doing.
Speaker 18: We're trying to get a very niche audience.
Speaker 15: A rabbits would helped if we had like a Facebook page.
Speaker 2: We don't have.
Speaker 5: We need to get a proper We'll get one together.
Speaker 18: You don't. You don't have one, Well, we have an Instagram.
Speaker 19: I don't know if that technically it goes over the Facebook as well.
Speaker 12: Yeah, you need to get on the Facebook.
Speaker 18: On the Facebook, on the Facebook.
Speaker 2: I'm curious about the writing process. You guys all write together. Do you get together in jam or how does that work?
Speaker 15: A bit of a little bit of everything, like they don't know started as Jim and then we all kind of like pulled together and I'm like, hey, let's write something. But a good amount of the other ones were kind of individual, like you know, kind of us just kind of breaking off and kind of we're especially since we were kind of forming the band, it was kind of material we already had in our back pocket.
Speaker 2: They were okay bringing forward, so everybody kind of brought something. Yeah, yeah, and Jet, do you always sing no?
Speaker 5: So on that last track, all of us sings that one?
Speaker 2: You sing that one on?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, Yeah.
Speaker 19: We all kind of share a lot of like the lead vocals. I think Jet definitely does the most, but like vancings on the song, Spencer has his own songs as well that he sings, and then I sing my songs as well.
Speaker 18: Yeah, it kind of you know, changes little beatles es.
Speaker 2: I I was just thinking that it's it's cool that you're all able to sing lead and mix it up like that. Now is it just you Oliver on that track? Is it is?
Speaker 21: There?
Speaker 2: Are the vocals doubled? Because that sounds I love the vocals on that. I love the sound of that.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 19: Yeah, so we doubled them and did that lower one and then we had that higher sort of like Michael Jacksony weird sounding one as well well on top of it.
Speaker 2: Yeah. No, it sounds really cool. I really creates a cool vibe. What do you when you do you play that with one live?
Speaker 18: We do play that one live.
Speaker 19: Yeah, when we play it live, I usually do the higher part and Jet we'll do that.
Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah that makes sense. That makes sense. Now you mentioned covers. What do you guys do for covers? Because I find you can kind of tell a lot about a band's influences from what they what they choose for cover songs.
Speaker 12: Yeah. I mean we were starting out doing kind of some.
Speaker 17: Obscure covers of bands that we like, yeah, so we're trying to do I guess it's like more popular tunes. So like right now we're doing uh, recently, we've been doing moon Age day Dream by Bowie.
Speaker 12: We're doing a Talking Head song cycle Killer.
Speaker 18: Oh nice, but we do it different, we do it cool.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we can do kind of like a punk I've heard that's I've heard that song covered before, and it seems like everyone who covers it kind of puts a different spin on it, which is cool, and I love every version I've ever heard of it, including the original. Of course, my dad loves that song too, I remember growing up because we were both big Talking Heads fans. But yeah, that's a great choice. Yeah what what what else? Oh, it's early No, I was asking about covers.
Speaker 16: Covers, right, yeah, and then we also got some Some of our early covers that we did were like from the more obscure bands were like Orange Dog Club. We did cover their song called untitled.
Speaker 2: I don't I don't know them Orange.
Speaker 5: They're like spells Us.
Speaker 15: They actually have a bigger following than their Spotify than they have a lot.
Speaker 12: I think they kind of uh, I grew from.
Speaker 15: TikTok, they grew from TikTok, but they're still very small.
Speaker 12: I think they're upstate, New York.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah.
Speaker 15: And I found them one day and I was like, these guys are awesome, and like, you know, you know, hopefully like one day I'm gonna shoot an email and be like, hey, let's do a collapse because they have a great son, and like I feel like I can imagine like a show bill with like the two of us on It would just like be amazing.
Speaker 12: Yeah, we do some Tally Hall.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, Telly Hall's another act.
Speaker 18: It's like Banana Man did some Banana one of There's more Cold.
Speaker 2: Do you guys when when you do obscure covers, does anyone ever come up to you afterward and say, hey, I really love that song and they assume that it's yours because they don't they don't know.
Speaker 12: It never happened.
Speaker 19: I think we've had to state multiple times that it is a cover. Like when we cover Tally Hall, we did the Bidding and then we also did Banana Man.
Speaker 18: Great songs.
Speaker 19: I haven't heard them listen to them, but I think there was like once or twice when we've played Banana Man where we've had.
Speaker 18: To be like, this is a cover by the way.
Speaker 19: I remember once at a show there was some guy that when we started playing it, his face like lit up and he was like, yeah a song.
Speaker 5: Yeaheah, it was cool.
Speaker 2: That's very good.
Speaker 15: Yeah, it's one of those weird ones. And that song intest is interesting because it's like it kind of like blew up on the Internet and like a weird in the early two thousands, So like some people know it, but it's like they don't really know what it's from. But like it's fun because it's a song. It's a goofy, silly song, right, and it's always a crowd pleaser. So we always we kept it on the set like regard like disregarding like the ability of the acted just kind of.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Now, do you guys have anybody Are there any other bands on the scene that you kind of because I know from my own experience sometimes this happens organically where you just kind of end up teaming up with other bands and playing a lot of shows with with certain other bands. Is there anybody like that that that you guys have kind of teamed up with.
Speaker 16: Yeah, So we've the past, We've we booked a couple of gigs over the summer or from the spring that we played with a couple of people, So GEMD we recently connected with and we've been trying to get some shows with them, and also Willie Nardo and the Corporates. We seem to really resonate with those artists, and we also just really like their music and playing with them live. We just kind of formed a relationship and you know, we definitely keep in touch as much as we can.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's that's that's good. You know, it's good to have other because obviously networking is so important, you know when you're doing this and uh and being able to have other bands that you can kind of, like I said, it happens organically, but you know, kind of team up with and support each other in that way, and it's a great way to get a lot more shows. You know, the more the more people you meet, the more shows you get and and so forth. So are you guys playing out all you mentioned you've got a bunch of shows coming up, But do you guys play out through the year or I know a lot of bands kind of use on.
Speaker 2: Part of it, I'm sure has to do with part of the country that we're in with you know, a colder winter. A lot of bands kind of take winter to not do so many shows but kind of focus on recording.
Speaker 15: Is that kind of it kind of coincidentally happened like that. I guess that we ended up doing all of our gigs in the summer, Yeah, just because we had spent all the time working on the EP in the winter. Yeah, and we were released it in November and then we were like still sort of writing stuff. We recorded two singles this past.
Speaker 2: January or February March, one of those months, and they're.
Speaker 15: In that there's still the mixing and post production process, but we hope to have those out soon, at least one of them out by the end of the year.
Speaker 5: So yeah, I keep on the lookout for that.
Speaker 18: Yeah.
Speaker 19: And also for a while Vance was in New York for a little bit going to school, so we were short of basis, so we didn't really have the opportunity to play too much. But Vance is back now, so now we're gonna try and play as much as we can.
Speaker 18: For sure.
Speaker 2: Excellent, excellent, Well we should uh yeah, I want to try to get them all in. Let's play another track. What should we go with next? I'll let you guys pick this time.
Speaker 15: What's on the list to be have potato Head and Promenade of the other two Yeah, one of the two p's.
Speaker 18: On flip a coin.
Speaker 19: You guys want to choose Spencer, you choose Promenade, Promenadminade.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was wondering, you know, it's funny. When I looked at it, I in my mind I said promenade, and and then I listened to it, and I said, oh no, it's promenade.

Speaker 23: Like too loud to see.
Speaker 6: Then I could say that I do anything go want about. But but all of those things that I thought to myself I'd never do.
Speaker 11: If I ask to take your health, would you put your hand in mine?
Speaker 6: February comes round?
Speaker 11: Would you be my vale?

Speaker 13: be my sweetheart for old time promise made.
Speaker 8: I've been busy.
Speaker 6: And I could say that I do anything I want. The problem us all those things that affect to myself, I've.
Speaker 2: Never I wish my fingers could do that on the guitar. That is uh, that is so pretty. That is Prominade and the band is Rabbits for Sale. They are here with us, alive in studio and yeah, that is that is really nice. That's the kind of thing you can just kind of close your eyes and get lost in. Yeah.
Speaker 12: I just found them on Amazon Music to add them to my playlist.
Speaker 2: I need to paint to this, Thank you very much. Excellent. Yeah, Jenny's also looking always looking for music to paint too. She's an artist and awesome.
Speaker 5: That's very cool.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, I got a paint to that one.
Speaker 1: Boy.
Speaker 2: Actually, no, I really do enjoy you.
Speaker 16: Guys' music is really great and I do put a lot of independent artists in my playlist, and I did just add you for real.
Speaker 18: We do really appreciate it.
Speaker 5: Thank you very much.
Speaker 19: You're always looking for, you know, fans to enjoy ourself, and we really appreciate it.
Speaker 2: Is it I'm curious about recording a song like that. Is it challenging to really get that guitar sound exactly right? Because it's to me, it's such an art when when you hear that and you can you can hear everything so clearly to the point where you can you can hear the you know, the fingers moving on the fred board. You know, I love that. Is that challenging to get that right in the studio?
Speaker 15: I mean, fortunately for us, you know, Dave is you know, extremely experienced engineer and like you know, you knew all the right stuff for Mike placement to get that. Yeah, all of everything that was coming from here. Yeah, I'm going from the guitar out to that.
Speaker 18: Do we do direct in and Mike? I think that's what we did, right.
Speaker 15: I think we did like a scratch with directing, But I don't think we ended up using it though, they just using because when we plugged it in. When plugging in an acoustic guitar, the electric the pickup doesn't always sound good.
Speaker 5: You know, it's always better to get them wrong, you know. Recording with the mic, it's.
Speaker 2: You know, yeah, I'm always curious about that because I'm a bit of a recording nerd, and I just I I love when I when I hear you know, because it doesn't you know a lot of that that that specifically is something that with the guitar that a lot of a lot of times it's you have to be so precise about how you do it to really to really capture it, you know what I mean, to really do it justice and uh and uh no, that that is that is really really good. What should you know? We kind of we kind of talked about it a little bit about uh, trying to find you guys on Facebook?
Speaker 2: But what should our audience know about how to find you guys online to keep up with everything that you're doing your music?

Speaker 2: Yeah, what what was it about this one?
Speaker 6: What? What?
Speaker 16: When I so, I was I was having trouble fall asleep one night and I just thought of an idea. I was like, what if I jumped on a piano and so, but then it kind of developed into like trying to grab people's attention, like, oh, look at this, this Beethoven technique that people do. And then I run over and I jump over a keyboard, but I cut it so it looks like I'm about to fall on it. Yeah, and I like play all eighty keys of once. Oh yeah, this really is a really yeah yeah.
Speaker 2: Video really yeah. We just got to watch it, you know.
Speaker 18: It's like five seconds or something like that.
Speaker 15: Yeah, very very great, you know, but there's like the attention to detail on it, like you like you have like background music that's like releast I.
Speaker 16: Did like a slat based funk version of like Burle's in the background.
Speaker 2: Yeah something. Yeah, it's just Oh that's very cool. That's very cool.

Speaker 12: We've been trying to figure that, I mean hopefully not a while.
Speaker 5: Hopefully not a while.
Speaker 12: I mean just said before at the end of the at least one of them before the end of the year.
Speaker 17: I think I think we're hoping earlier, but like this summer we kind of dedicated to like gigging. Yeah, yeah, so we're kind of I think once maybe like September hits.
Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, we.
Speaker 18: Could say October for now and to see what happens.
Speaker 5: Yeah, super perfectionist about it.
Speaker 15: You know, we want the mixes to be perfect, so you know, it's about getting the best quality content out there for for our listeners, you know.
Speaker 2: Oh, absolutely absolutely. And oh one more thing, because you guys were talking off air, is there a story?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Well, then since you're the culprit for it, I guess you should start.
Speaker 17: Caused, Well, I don't think you want me to tell the story because it might be biased coming from me.
Speaker 18: That's true.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 18: You want to start with first?
Speaker 12: Is the story for this happened while we were recording the vocals.
Speaker 18: It was a guitar acoustic guitar gar No. I thought no, because I remember I was I was playing guitar, and I was really.
Speaker 12: Well, yeah, you were away, but we were recording I'll Be Okay.
Speaker 16: So we were recording the guitar for I'll Be Okay and Oliver is uh, I was told, you know, just go in the room start recording the bands comes down and announces that someone's wrong with the toilet. It's broken or something, and so in a rush, Jet and Dave go upstairs figure out the situation, and Oliver is just in there recording the rest of the guitar and there's he didn't know what.
Speaker 2: Was going on, so.
Speaker 12: Walked out and I'm like, toilet, it was like quite that.
Speaker 5: I mean, it was pretty.
Speaker 12: It was a lot of white, it was it started overflowing.
Speaker 2: It was quite.
Speaker 5: It was quite.
Speaker 2: The man.
Speaker 18: I was in there recording the acoustic guitar part.
Speaker 19: I had no idea, So I'm just sitting in there and I finished, and I'm still sitting in there like what happened? And eventually Dave came down, like hit the button to talk into the room and was like, Hey, everything's fine, the toilet kind of broke. Just just do another pass, do another take.
Speaker 18: And I'm like all right.
Speaker 19: So both the guitar tracks, the acoustic guitar tracks were both done in one take and they are doubled. So I think that the toilet kind of motivated me to get it done quick.
Speaker 12: No, yeah, it was clean, you know, not like the toilet, like the toilet clean. I want to say, I sure he did not go number two?
Speaker 18: You didn't, Yeah it was I didn't.
Speaker 12: I just want to clarify, for okay, Well, that.
Speaker 2: Does make a difference in a situation like that, Actually it does. It does make a very big difference. Well, good, all right? Has the toilet been repaired since then? I assume everything's all right, Everything is okay.
Speaker 18: I took it out of there. You know, he kind of maybe charges for who knows, there's an extra charge on there.
Speaker 2: It's very rock and roll though it is. There's nothing more rock and roll in a broken.
Speaker 15: Toilet actually going to go down in the in the history books, the Broken Toilet Hall of Fame.
Speaker 18: That's going to be that toilet.
Speaker 2: That's right, yeah, right, yeah, you got to get that story in there. That's awesome. That's awesome, all right. And before we play this, uh, a song with a title like potato Head, I feel like there might be a story behind it, But I could be wrong. Is there a story behind I mean there's kind of a story. Is it about an actual potato?
Speaker 17: I mean no, but I guess in a sense, I mean it's kind of like when you have potato heads, just kind of like you get the eyes and maybe they're lotsided, and then you got the mouth.
Speaker 18: Yeah, from what you told me, it's kind of about making a perfect person, right.
Speaker 17: Yeah, it's about making a perfect person. But oh okay, kind of not a realistic.
Speaker 19: Yeah, parts of it are inspired by like real people that we've met, you know, Like some lyrics, especially like the first lyric, your eyes are you know where it is? But like some of them are inspired by people that we actually know. So it's just like a conglomerate of like trying to create like the ideal person and and kind of like the unrealistic aspects of that as well.
Speaker 12: Okay, I think conglomerate.
Speaker 18: That's a big word for me.
Speaker 2: Conglomerate.
Speaker 18: It's a good word, solid word.
Speaker 2: So we will end with this, but Rabbits for sale, guys, thank you again, so much, so much, Thank you so much for having absolutely and we'll do this again when you've got the new music ready to ready to go,
