14:58 Speaker 11: our fourth time doing this and we are back at

15:02 Speaker 11: Jewel in Manchester. Yes, yeah, so we we we We

15:05 Speaker 11: did the show the first few times we did it

15:08 Speaker 11: at Jewel and last year we did it in Lowell

15:12 Speaker 11: at That was a lot of fun.

15:15 Speaker 12: And I still think it's tafaa.

15:18 Speaker 2: Every every time I know we talked about this, I know,

15:22 Speaker 2: I know we talked about this last year, But every

15:24 Speaker 2: time you say t Feta I think of cheese because

15:26 Speaker 2: I love feta cheese.

15:27 Speaker 6: It is.

15:29 Speaker 2: Definitely I want a Greek salad now, I desperately want

15:39 Speaker 2: a Greek salad.

15:40 Speaker 12: Anyway, I'm sorry.

15:42 Speaker 11: Swarmy Fest is a is a community event and a

15:45 Speaker 11: lot of the things that we do there is by request. Okay,

15:49 Speaker 11: so by request we're back at Manchester. Yes, yes, you know,

15:53 Speaker 11: for the drive and this isn't Stepsist show. This isn't

15:58 Speaker 11: stepsis Fest with the hosts and organizers of the show,

16:03 Speaker 11: and most importantly it's something that we decided to do

16:12 Speaker 11: to really showcase new bands every year to our friends

16:18 Speaker 11: and our fans and fans of our band.

16:21 Speaker 12: Yeah, we've met a lot of great bands through through you.

16:25 Speaker 11: Oh that's kind of like what we do and through

16:27 Speaker 11: the through the festival. Yeah, some people might think that

16:30 Speaker 11: it's like a hallmark or maybe even a gimmick or something,

16:34 Speaker 11: but we really that the support and local bands thing

16:36 Speaker 11: is not just something we do on Facebook and Swarmy

16:39 Speaker 11: Fest is part of that. That's how we want to

16:43 Speaker 11: be able to show our work and take it out

16:48 Speaker 11: of the comment sections, take it out of the podcasts.

16:52 Speaker 11: It's one thing to sound fancy on Instagram. Support local

16:57 Speaker 11: and the whole bit. But what we was like, out

17:00 Speaker 11: of the the lockdowns and the pandemic stuff, we met

17:04 Speaker 11: so many people online. And we are one of those

17:07 Speaker 11: local bands that are lucky enough to have fans from

17:09 Speaker 11: all over the world. Yeah, and we'd always have people

17:14 Speaker 11: fantasizing with us on Twitch in our various streams about hey,

17:20 Speaker 11: someday when we get out of this thing, someday when

17:23 Speaker 11: we get out of the joint, you know, we're all

17:25 Speaker 11: gonna no. But it was like that, Yeah, we all

17:29 Speaker 11: shared that, and it was like, hey, one day we

17:32 Speaker 11: all got to get together and hang out and have

17:35 Speaker 11: a festival. And this was our fans on Twitch. This

17:37 Speaker 11: is our fans on the right, people that we've never

17:41 Speaker 11: met before, not people in town. You know, it's hard

17:44 Speaker 11: enough trying to get your friends and family and people,

17:46 Speaker 11: let your neighbors to support music. But we're lucky enough

17:49 Speaker 11: to have people all over the country and all over

17:51 Speaker 11: the world that support us. And we'd always kick around

17:53 Speaker 11: the idea, you know, maybe because the band doesn't have

17:58 Speaker 11: a huge budget to tour, because it's difficult for local

18:02 Speaker 11: and regional acts to move around. We kind of joked

18:06 Speaker 11: humbly at the idea of everybody just coming to see

18:09 Speaker 11: us because the band couldn't We couldn't get out of

18:12 Speaker 11: the state, we couldn't get out of the region. We

18:14 Speaker 11: had minimal touring experience, and are really the biggest fans

18:21 Speaker 11: of our band are people that invest in us long term.

18:26 Speaker 11: We found that the biggest supporters and fans of our

18:29 Speaker 11: band are the people that don't just leave criticism, but

18:34 Speaker 11: they're here to watch the band grow, and they're big investors,

18:39 Speaker 11: not only just like buying tickets and supporting us that way,

18:44 Speaker 11: but they're also they also invest in the band longevity

18:49 Speaker 11: and they're here to stay. So it's so hard for

18:52 Speaker 11: bands to tour, and a lot of people would say, oh,

18:55 Speaker 11: we you know, a lot of bands get this. You

18:57 Speaker 11: should be bigger, or we think you guys should play

19:00 Speaker 11: this venue, or you guys should be so much bigger,

19:02 Speaker 11: and that could be encouraging to hear, and sometimes it

19:06 Speaker 11: could for some bands that could be like, oh gosh,

19:08 Speaker 11: we've heard that a lot you know, you guys should

19:10 Speaker 11: be so much bigger or better, And depending on what

19:13 Speaker 11: side of the bed you woke up on that day,

19:16 Speaker 11: it could be a compliment. So at a combination of

19:19 Speaker 11: our biggest supporters. They came up with the idea of

19:22 Speaker 11: all getting together, choosing a date and everybody flying in,

19:27 Speaker 11: all of our twitch fans, all of our online fans

19:32 Speaker 11: wanted to do a show. And as we got closer,

19:35 Speaker 11: you know, to two thousand and one, closer to the

19:38 Speaker 11: first time we did the show, we took the challenge

19:42 Speaker 11: on as a reality and we just booked the date.

19:48 Speaker 11: It happened that a lot of our fans and people

19:51 Speaker 11: flying in had some time off, and that's how this

19:54 Speaker 11: whole thing started.

19:55 Speaker 5: And people continue to fly out to this thing, I

19:58 Speaker 5: mean from all over.

20:00 Speaker 11: Yeah, so it's it's kind of like a super fan experience,

20:05 Speaker 11: and we call it Swarmy Fest because the swarmies aren't

20:11 Speaker 11: just like the fans of Sepsis. You've got people that

20:13 Speaker 11: are fans of your band or fans of wrestling or whatever,

20:16 Speaker 11: but they, you know, they don't mind talking a little

20:18 Speaker 11: crap about you, you know in the back hallway. A

20:23 Speaker 11: swarmy is somebody that's a little bit bigger than a fan.

20:26 Speaker 11: It's bigger than somebody that that just comes out for

20:28 Speaker 11: the music. Swarmies are people that publicly support Sepsis, publicly

20:34 Speaker 11: have been storing uh been following the storyline. People have

20:39 Speaker 11: been day one ers, people who are very cognitive and

20:43 Speaker 11: self aware about our mission, about our message and what

20:46 Speaker 11: we're trying to do. That's what swarmies are. Yeah, they're

20:50 Speaker 11: you know, they're they're the super super duper fan. They're

20:52 Speaker 11: they're the next possible thing that you can be as

20:56 Speaker 11: a band staff member or an actual band member. So

21:00 Speaker 11: that's why we call it Swarmy Fest because it's really

21:03 Speaker 11: it's their show, and they fly in, they drive in

21:06 Speaker 11: our of course, our fans locally and our friends all

21:09 Speaker 11: help us our responses and all the bands. The twist

21:14 Speaker 11: is each because they made it, Because they make it

21:17 Speaker 11: an annual thing. You'll recognize some people over the years,

21:22 Speaker 11: and because of it, we all curate the show together.

21:27 Speaker 11: Everything is by request. If they want a food truck,

21:30 Speaker 11: they get a food truck. If they want more hair

21:32 Speaker 11: metal bands, we do more hair metal bands. If we want,

21:36 Speaker 11: you know, dancing cage girls, we do cage girls. If

21:39 Speaker 11: we want balloon animals, we listen to what the Swarmies

21:42 Speaker 11: are looking to do. We make improvements from the year before,

21:47 Speaker 11: and that's what it's all about, and bringing in of course,

21:50 Speaker 11: not only bringing bands that we love to work with

21:52 Speaker 11: and bands we want to work with, because that's the

21:54 Speaker 11: bands that.

21:55 Speaker 12: Play on Swarmy Fests.

21:56 Speaker 11: Other bands that we really loved, we love their music,

21:59 Speaker 11: we hire them, we look up to them, and we

22:02 Speaker 11: either work with them in the past or we really

22:04 Speaker 11: want to work with them now. So that's why you

22:07 Speaker 11: see the bands that you see each year on Swarmy Fest.

22:10 Speaker 11: They are also bands that want to work with us.

22:13 Speaker 11: We're firm and believing that bands do better when they

22:17 Speaker 11: work with the bands that they want to work with.

22:19 Speaker 11: Of course, because everybody treats the show as one baby.

22:24 Speaker 11: Everybody treats the show. Everybody comes in together, everybody leaves together,

22:29 Speaker 11: and we're all working towards the same goals.

22:31 Speaker 12: So each year, the fans, the sponsors, the bands.

22:37 Speaker 11: And everybody that's involved is all working and hoping for

22:41 Speaker 11: the same outcome, and everybody's resonating towards the same goals,

22:45 Speaker 11: and you get brand new bands every year.

22:47 Speaker 12: Oh yeah, And.

22:48 Speaker 22: Another thing that makes Swarmy Fest so big and special

22:51 Speaker 22: and why it keeps getting bigger and bigger is the

22:54 Speaker 22: fact that this is all the swarmys Idea down to

22:57 Speaker 22: the name Swarmy Fest named it. We didn't name it

23:01 Speaker 22: Swarmy Fast. They named it.

23:04 Speaker 11: Were like, what are we going to call it?

23:06 Speaker 22: And another thing too that makes it so big and

23:09 Speaker 22: so special is the fact that all these bands throughout

23:12 Speaker 22: the years all run over to our messages and they're dying.

23:17 Speaker 22: They look forward to playing, and they look forward to

23:20 Speaker 22: it every year. It's like something that they look forward.

23:22 Speaker 11: It's really sad to turn people away because there's so

23:26 Speaker 11: many people.

23:28 Speaker 12: That haven't had the opportunity to play at a place.

23:31 Speaker 22: Like this, and it really goes into like a new

23:33 Speaker 22: form of like content creation and being in a band,

23:36 Speaker 22: and that's making a community like the made us want

23:42 Speaker 22: to do Swarmy Fest is the fact not only do

23:46 Speaker 22: they want to see us and meet us, but they

23:50 Speaker 22: wanted to meet each other just as bad. They wanted

23:54 Speaker 22: to make new friends just as bad within the Sepsis community.

23:59 Speaker 22: And that is why we really strive to do what

24:02 Speaker 22: they ask us to take those requests and keep it

24:05 Speaker 22: going every year because it's built such a strong community

24:09 Speaker 22: that not only do the Swarmies make friends and bring

24:13 Speaker 22: their friends to Swarmy Fest and make friends to the

24:15 Speaker 22: other bands, fans and things, but other bands look forward

24:19 Speaker 22: and die almost and like dietively.

24:24 Speaker 11: I want to She's touching on something though, because when

24:27 Speaker 11: we came out of the lockdowns, and we came out

24:29 Speaker 11: of not playing music for years of being on stage

24:32 Speaker 11: or seeing our friends, it did feel claustrophoba.

24:35 Speaker 12: It was hard to get back out.

24:36 Speaker 11: And Swarmy Fest was a big part of encouraging people

24:40 Speaker 11: to heal and get back out and get in the

24:42 Speaker 11: room together and make new friends and and and and

24:46 Speaker 11: and and regrow our credibility with each other. So Swarmy She's.

24:51 Speaker 12: Right about that.

24:52 Speaker 22: It proves that music has died.

24:54 Speaker 11: And when and when true fans of music can't get

24:58 Speaker 11: out there and have that experience and that can activity,

25:00 Speaker 11: it feels like you're dying when us as music musician,

25:04 Speaker 11: people tell me to light up, lighting up all the time.

25:06 Speaker 12: No, and I don't want to. Music is my life.

25:11 Speaker 11: So for some people that you know, their kids are

25:13 Speaker 11: their life and and and I could tell them to

25:14 Speaker 11: lighten up about it, you know, when when their kid

25:17 Speaker 11: loses a soccer game. I don't lighten up about music

25:20 Speaker 11: because music saved my life. Guitar saved my life. It's

25:24 Speaker 11: responsible for my sobriety. It's responsible for the best decisions

25:28 Speaker 11: I've ever made in my life. It keeps me happy

25:30 Speaker 11: saying healthy. It's responsible for my best loves, my my my,

25:35 Speaker 11: my most deepest friendships. So I don't lighten up about

25:38 Speaker 11: music because music and art, one word, one poem can

25:42 Speaker 11: change the course of humanity.

25:44 Speaker 2: Oh well, well said, well said. Oh by the way, too,

25:47 Speaker 2: you were talking about uh, you know, bands, new new

25:50 Speaker 2: bands and so forth being added, and I was very excited.

25:54 Speaker 2: Silent Season.

25:55 Speaker 12: Oh my god, the show.

25:59 Speaker 5: We've got Island seasons, scarecrow Hill, what is going on?

26:08 Speaker 5: And Temptress.

26:09 Speaker 12: Yeah, it's knockdown stuff.

26:11 Speaker 11: It's not I'm so thrilled. I'm so thrilled. It's crazy.

26:15 Speaker 11: And the Silent Season thing. We've been trying to get

26:19 Speaker 11: Silent Season on Swarmy Fest for two.

26:21 Speaker 12: Years, no kidding. Yeah, that's the fun. That's the fun part.

26:23 Speaker 11: And they're they're they're awesome dudes, and and they've been

26:27 Speaker 11: so cool every year they wanted to play. They've just

26:30 Speaker 11: had so much cooler things going on.

26:34 Speaker 12: Not the swarming Fest isn't cool.

26:36 Speaker 11: But you know, when you're when you're advancing, when you're

26:39 Speaker 11: spiraling up, you know, you know you want to you

26:43 Speaker 11: want to root for people, like Lexie was talking about,

26:46 Speaker 11: you really want to root for people in your neighborhood

26:49 Speaker 11: when they're doing well. Because when it when you're doing well,

26:54 Speaker 11: we can it's a sign that we can all do well.

26:57 Speaker 12: Exactly exactly.

27:00 Speaker 11: Biration happens at the top, competition happens at the bottom.

27:03 Speaker 2: Right, right, We should talk too about So Lexi, you're

27:07 Speaker 2: in the band now so used to be used to

27:10 Speaker 2: be officially the merch girl, right, but but you were

27:12 Speaker 2: already like really an integral part of things, right, Yes,

27:16 Speaker 2: So I.

27:16 Speaker 22: Did start off as the merch girl. I've been in

27:18 Speaker 22: the band for six years as the merch girl. Yeah,

27:22 Speaker 22: and podcaster and podcaster and screaming within the last couple

27:26 Speaker 22: of years. That is not going away, by the way,

27:28 Speaker 22: I'm still going to be screaming. But keyboards popped up

27:32 Speaker 22: within the summer actually of this year.

27:34 Speaker 11: Okay, Lexie's a drummer, yeah, Todd.

27:38 Speaker 22: The drums and drums, drums, I love it, and that's

27:42 Speaker 22: not going away either.

27:43 Speaker 5: Basically a percussionists.

27:45 Speaker 22: Yeah, and the keyboards. I didn't really know it first

27:48 Speaker 22: until until the summertime when we started talking about playing

27:52 Speaker 22: keyboards because the spot's been open for quite some time

27:56 Speaker 22: and they wanted to have the keyboards back. And I've

27:58 Speaker 22: been doing percushion and rhythm on the drums, and they're like, well,

28:02 Speaker 22: there's another instrument out there that could help with your

28:06 Speaker 22: percussion musical journey, and that's the keyboard.

28:10 Speaker 11: That's piano's kind of percussion. People debate about that.

28:13 Speaker 5: I look more like that.

28:15 Speaker 22: It's pretty rhythmic. It has its own rhythm, it has

28:17 Speaker 22: its own little space. It's kind of like sneaky kind

28:20 Speaker 22: of is it a.

28:21 Speaker 11: String instrument or is it a percussion instrument?

28:23 Speaker 1: Is it?

28:25 Speaker 2: Because you know when you know the way it's built there,

28:28 Speaker 2: that's what. I don't know the terminology, but when you

28:31 Speaker 2: push the keys on a piano, it strikes again. I

28:35 Speaker 2: don't know the terminal.

28:36 Speaker 22: Like it has its own pattern and stuff. Especially with

28:40 Speaker 22: playing stepsis. They the keyboards have like its own pattern

28:44 Speaker 22: along with everything. It's not separate, it is along with it. Yeah,

28:48 Speaker 22: those in the little spaces kind of like atmospheric is

28:50 Speaker 22: how we kind of use the.

28:51 Speaker 5: Keyboards of atmospheric. It can be.

28:54 Speaker 11: Yeah, it so a lot, especially a lot of the

28:57 Speaker 11: modern bands and with with a lot of the technology

29:00 Speaker 11: up there. A lot of bands have lap A lot

29:02 Speaker 11: of bands we play with, especially when we do the

29:04 Speaker 11: bigger festivals of the shows, the national bands, the big

29:11 Speaker 11: touring bands, they all have backtracks, laptops, light shows, and

29:16 Speaker 11: so they have all us to fill in and it

29:19 Speaker 11: sounds great, and I'm just for us. We always want

29:25 Speaker 11: to try to as much as we could. We wanted

29:28 Speaker 11: to try to play the music as close as we

29:31 Speaker 11: could to the records, but there's some layering in there.

29:37 Speaker 11: And we're originally a six piece band, so when you

29:40 Speaker 11: take the keyboards out of the band, there's a lot

29:43 Speaker 11: of work that we have to do on stage, the

29:46 Speaker 11: guitar players and the technology that we have on stage,

29:49 Speaker 11: if you've seen us recently, just our pedal boards, backup vocals,

29:54 Speaker 11: we have to do a lot to try to fill

29:55 Speaker 11: in that space with a keyboard is and a lot

30:00 Speaker 11: of bands, national bands, you know, you got to play

30:03 Speaker 11: night tonight, so they use backtracks with sometimes the backup

30:07 Speaker 11: vocals on and actual keyboard layerings. And it's not because

30:11 Speaker 11: they're evil people. It's because they're trying to keep their

30:13 Speaker 11: jobs and they're trying to keep their voices and they're

30:16 Speaker 11: trying to stay on stage every night because touring is

30:18 Speaker 11: difficult and to get on night after night you might

30:22 Speaker 11: need some extra technology to push you. Yeah, we're not

30:25 Speaker 11: a national band or a touring band, so we want

30:28 Speaker 11: to take advantage of that so we get to have

30:31 Speaker 11: a good rest before every show. Yeah, right, So we

30:35 Speaker 11: really want to avoid we always have up until this point.

30:38 Speaker 11: We have a big, rich, robust sound, but we want

30:41 Speaker 11: to avoid as much as possible bringing computers up there

30:45 Speaker 11: and you know, having to log into the Wi Fi

30:49 Speaker 11: and look for Bluetooth just to play music. So that's

30:53 Speaker 11: why we love having a keyboard player in the band.

30:58 Speaker 11: And for a while there we were like, come planning

31:00 Speaker 11: like something we need a DJ, Like we need a DJ,

31:03 Speaker 11: or we need a some sort of thing.

31:05 Speaker 12: You know.

31:05 Speaker 11: We just felt like we were ready for it. Yeah,

31:07 Speaker 11: and like it's like, well, I'll do it.

31:11 Speaker 12: Yeah, there you go.

31:12 Speaker 22: Spot popped up and it was over the summer. Never

31:14 Speaker 22: touched a keyboard, and I was like, I'll try it out,

31:16 Speaker 22: I'll learn.

31:17 Speaker 20: Yeah.

31:17 Speaker 22: At first, I was a little skeptical because I have

31:21 Speaker 22: tendonitis in my hands. Oh really, so playing with the

31:24 Speaker 22: fingers and everything, I was like, I don't know if

31:26 Speaker 22: this is going to trigger something. Yeah, but I was

31:30 Speaker 22: playing through it and looking online at some of the

31:33 Speaker 22: other people that play keyboards and pianos and stuff and

31:37 Speaker 22: have the same issues. They were able to come up

31:40 Speaker 22: with exercises and stretchings and things to help prevent stuff

31:44 Speaker 22: like that. So I am like, so on top of

31:48 Speaker 22: every time before I play the keyboard, I have to stretch.

31:51 Speaker 22: I have to warm up my fingers just in order

31:53 Speaker 22: to play, so that I can continue to play, play

31:56 Speaker 22: in sepsis and not have it trigger.

31:58 Speaker 5: You also had to learn correct posture.

32:02 Speaker 22: Finger positioning. It's something to learn the music like you're

32:06 Speaker 22: playing a C minor, but my fingers might want of

32:09 Speaker 22: my thumb might want to be on the black finger

32:14 Speaker 22: placement is on top. Is a big not intricate, but

32:17 Speaker 22: a big part of playing the keyboard alone, just knowing what.

32:20 Speaker 11: It is absolutely and staying on stage for years. We

32:23 Speaker 11: would talk about longevity.

32:25 Speaker 12: You know, this is wow, this is our fourteenth year

32:31 Speaker 12: as a band.

32:33 Speaker 11: So in order to be a band in New England,

32:35 Speaker 11: in order to be a surviving local band, you need longevity.

32:41 Speaker 12: You know, you have to have You can't.

32:43 Speaker 11: Screw people over, you can't burn a lot of bridges.

32:47 Speaker 11: You can't go broke, you can't. You can't have health problems,

32:50 Speaker 11: you can't have drug habits, you can't have issues with

32:55 Speaker 11: the law, you can't have tons of debt, and you

32:59 Speaker 11: can't and have well, you know what we all have

33:03 Speaker 11: is uh if if you're my age and you're still

33:06 Speaker 11: in the band as you have lower back pain, so

33:11 Speaker 11: let's see touched on it. If you want to stay

33:12 Speaker 11: on stage, you got to stretch, right if you're going

33:16 Speaker 11: to live. You know, we don't people. It was always

33:20 Speaker 11: our plan to be in a band forever.

33:23 Speaker 16: Ye.

33:23 Speaker 11: This is a legacy and forever band. And that's why

33:27 Speaker 11: we've never worried about getting rich or being famous because

33:30 Speaker 11: this is who we are. It's not something we want

33:33 Speaker 11: to become. Right, So if this is who we are,

33:37 Speaker 11: we have to be ourselves every day. Every day I

33:39 Speaker 11: wake up brown, I can't you know so I so

33:41 Speaker 11: every day I wake upsis every day I wake up

33:43 Speaker 11: in the band. I'm not a hobbyist. This isn't a

33:45 Speaker 11: side gig for me. So because it is who I am,

33:49 Speaker 11: I have to be sound mind, I have to be

33:52 Speaker 11: I have to do yoga, I.

33:54 Speaker 5: Have to.

33:55 Speaker 11: There's a lot that goes on outside of what we

33:58 Speaker 11: do in a twenty second clip or a thirty minute set.

34:03 Speaker 11: There's a lot more stretching, there's a lot more eating, Yep,

34:06 Speaker 11: there's a lot more therapy. There's a lot more friendship

34:09 Speaker 11: that's going on, you know, behind the scenes.

34:12 Speaker 2: That makes sense. That makes sense. So will this be

34:15 Speaker 2: at Swormy Fest? LEXI, will this be your debut as

34:18 Speaker 2: a keyboard player? Because you've been on stage with the

34:20 Speaker 2: band before, screaming right next.

34:23 Speaker 12: I remember that.

34:24 Speaker 22: Yeah, but this definitely this will be the first keyboard performance.

34:29 Speaker 22: Will be at Stormy Fest.

34:30 Speaker 12: Okay, okay, excellent. Are you nervous?

34:34 Speaker 22: I'm not gonna lie. I am a little bit. Yeah,

34:37 Speaker 22: she's like I am now, And it's mainly because of

34:41 Speaker 22: the whole just being in the experience of it all. Like, yeah,

34:44 Speaker 22: it's not just because the people are watching me. It's

34:47 Speaker 22: the is the fact that this is the first time

34:49 Speaker 22: ever I'm playing an instrument.

34:52 Speaker 11: And not only he's accountable, she's a great friend. She

34:55 Speaker 11: doesn't want to let her friends down.

34:57 Speaker 22: But like in a band with a group of other people,

35:00 Speaker 22: he also playing instrument. It's not in my room right

35:04 Speaker 22: with people professionals front of others on a stage, so

35:08 Speaker 22: that part of the experience is what makes me a

35:11 Speaker 22: little nervous.

35:12 Speaker 12: Yeah. Yeah.

35:12 Speaker 22: It's so used to playing music in the living room,

35:15 Speaker 22: right right, yea other people and like.

35:20 Speaker 11: And like, Lexi's the baby of the bunch. Everything that

35:23 Speaker 11: she's experienced in the band, she's always been the youngest

35:27 Speaker 11: one or the least she's she's right, she's picking up

35:30 Speaker 11: the drums for the first time, or she's playing video

35:33 Speaker 11: games for the first time, or it was her first

35:35 Speaker 11: time on podcasting. But you know, now everybody knows her

35:38 Speaker 11: for podcasting, and I think she's gonna do just as

35:43 Speaker 11: good it this says she does and other things that

35:46 Speaker 11: Lexi seems to do good at everything she tries to

35:48 Speaker 11: do or wants to do.

35:50 Speaker 12: There you go, there you go excellent. Can you talk

35:53 Speaker 12: about the podcast too, Yeah, So it's new. Okay, it's new.

35:58 Speaker 12: We're still kind of working on it. Yeah.

36:00 Speaker 11: So the the the newest version is called The Sepsist Show,

36:05 Speaker 11: and the Stepsist Show is really a jambalaya, a compilation

36:11 Speaker 11: of all of our best live streams. So originally we

36:15 Speaker 11: had the Metal Honeys podcast all right, o, Lexi, that

36:19 Speaker 11: was the very first podcast that we did. Then we

36:21 Speaker 11: had the Honeycomb hide Out. The girls had their live

36:25 Speaker 11: stream which is a little bit different as you know

36:27 Speaker 11: Swarm TV and Swarm TV was like more like band

36:31 Speaker 11: news and band updates. And then we had Honeycomb Hideout

36:35 Speaker 11: version two point zero with me zach Our bass player

36:39 Speaker 11: and and Lexi, and then I decided to do it

36:43 Speaker 11: alone for a little while and William Versus the World, which, oh, yes,

36:46 Speaker 11: which is much more like a kinetic Yeah, it was

36:51 Speaker 11: a good show. It was a lot on Yeah, but

36:56 Speaker 11: you know, me yelling at people a lot.

36:59 Speaker 5: But but I mean you haven't gone anywhere though now, So.

37:04 Speaker 11: There is now all of those shows kind of fit

37:07 Speaker 11: in to our segments. So now there's a William versus.

37:11 Speaker 12: The World part. I think that's smart.

37:14 Speaker 11: There is there's there's so now the Swarm TV that

37:18 Speaker 11: was there before is there now. It's just in the

37:21 Speaker 11: beginning of the show as a segment. And then we

37:24 Speaker 11: move on to articles and we talk about like the

37:27 Speaker 11: Rock Metal Reset stuff where we're still doing the educational

37:30 Speaker 11: you know, teaching people about YouTube, you know, letting people

37:34 Speaker 11: know about updates on Instagram and how to do marketing

37:38 Speaker 11: and basically the technologies is moving so quickly. We use

37:44 Speaker 11: this stuff to stay up. You know, yes, it's a

37:47 Speaker 11: podcast and we're teaching people, but we it we're double

37:51 Speaker 11: dipping here because it's a way for us to stay

37:54 Speaker 11: up to date with what's coming in matt if we didn't.

37:58 Speaker 12: We kind of like multi purpose and this stuff.

38:01 Speaker 11: So we get a lot of articles, and we get

38:03 Speaker 11: a lot on technology and social media and as musicians,

38:07 Speaker 11: if you want to do what we're doing, Stepsi. This

38:09 Speaker 11: isn't just a band or models or photographers or videoographers

38:14 Speaker 11: or streamers or podcasters or marketers. We do commercials. We're everywhere.

38:19 Speaker 11: So if you're everywhere, you need to know everything. You

38:22 Speaker 11: need a big toolbox. You need you know, you need

38:24 Speaker 11: to make friends, you need large networks, you need credibility,

38:28 Speaker 11: you know, you need receipts, you need to be able

38:31 Speaker 11: to come with it, and you need and you need

38:33 Speaker 11: to stay up to date. So we get a lot

38:35 Speaker 11: of information and we go, oh my god, what are

38:37 Speaker 11: we going to do with all this information? We bring

38:39 Speaker 11: it on podcast.

38:41 Speaker 5: And when it comes to the podcast, I'm the girl

38:44 Speaker 5: behind the scenes doing all the production. Yeah, I'm the

38:49 Speaker 5: one in the comments. I might not be like on

38:51 Speaker 5: the stream anymore. But I do plan on streaming again soon.

38:56 Speaker 5: I will be back on Twitch this October, like the

38:59 Speaker 5: first week of October. Okay, I think it's October. Third

39:02 Speaker 5: is going to be my first live stream.

39:05 Speaker 12: Oh, she does everything, crafts.

39:06 Speaker 5: Cooking, I'm going to be bringing back a lot of that.

39:09 Speaker 5: People want to see me painting again, crafting. I'm definitely

39:12 Speaker 5: going to be doing some jewelry in probably some gaming.

39:17 Speaker 11: Okay, Okay, we sell paintings like I mean, and we

39:20 Speaker 11: really do. Oh you're in a band and you I

39:23 Speaker 11: don't know if people notice, but paint, do karaoke, talk

39:31 Speaker 11: with people.

39:32 Speaker 5: You're gonna do all that?

39:33 Speaker 11: Do do do drops or radio drops or do commercials.

39:37 Speaker 12: I'm not I'm not.

39:38 Speaker 11: I'm not sure people know how much we make just

39:45 Speaker 11: being on social media. We don't have personal social media accounts.

39:51 Speaker 11: We're only there to do the Stepsis thing. So because

39:54 Speaker 11: of it, we built up a relationship with all of

39:56 Speaker 11: these companies Instagram, Google, and for you bands out there,

40:03 Speaker 11: instead of posting about your dinner or getting in arguments online,

40:09 Speaker 11: encourage your band to play music, to talk with people,

40:13 Speaker 11: to podcast, to nick you know, Lexi knits crochets, we paint,

40:20 Speaker 11: use a combination, use everything you got, you know, and

40:26 Speaker 11: use it not just to make money, but to start

40:29 Speaker 11: conversations and make connections with people. Because Facebook, we don't

40:36 Speaker 11: just spend a lot of time on Facebook. We don't

40:39 Speaker 11: just scream at the microphone. Bands. People out there, creators,

40:43 Speaker 11: people pay Sepsis to go on social media. The social

40:49 Speaker 11: media companies pay us to be there and talk in

40:53 Speaker 11: the comments sections. And you could do it too. Yeah,

40:57 Speaker 11: everybody can be doing this. You don't have to argue

41:01 Speaker 11: in the comments sections or fill your fill your day

41:05 Speaker 11: with stress. For those of you that make music or

41:07 Speaker 11: have skills or talents, and you think, oh, I don't

41:10 Speaker 11: know if it belongs in the band. I don't know

41:13 Speaker 11: if it belongs in my business. Work it in, right,

41:16 Speaker 11: if you can work it in, work it in, especially

41:18 Speaker 11: the social media. And spent a wasting time and sitting

41:21 Speaker 11: there and burning out these guys when we go on.

41:24 Speaker 11: Every time we go on and we put something on

41:26 Speaker 11: social media, remember we're getting paid for it.

41:29 Speaker 12: Yeah. So if you see me in a twenty if

41:31 Speaker 12: you see me in a twenty second clip, yeah, it's

41:35 Speaker 12: my jobs. That's good. Yeah.

41:36 Speaker 2: Yeah, speaking of comments By the way, we got somebody

45:36 Speaker 11: there is there. The VIP tables are sold out, unfortunately,

45:40 Speaker 11: but there are still booths. And this is important because

45:44 Speaker 11: sometimes you get there you want to buy some merch.

45:48 Speaker 11: Merch goes early in the day at Swarmy Fest. Yeah,

45:51 Speaker 11: posters go early, so a lot of people they want

45:54 Speaker 11: to buy stuff early and then they happy where to

45:56 Speaker 11: put it. If you're coming, if you're coming with three

46:00 Speaker 11: to five people, it's best to get a booth because

46:03 Speaker 11: they're good for five tickets. You're saving a bunch of.

46:06 Speaker 5: Cash, right right, and you got somewhere to put your stuff.

46:09 Speaker 12: Yeah.

46:13 Speaker 5: There's like four boots left.

46:15 Speaker 11: Okay, So I think that I think that the two

46:18 Speaker 11: biggest features of this year. Three silent season.

46:25 Speaker 12: This is all for me.

46:26 Speaker 11: Uh and of course the girls man Dancing Girls Silent

46:34 Speaker 11: Season in the food truck.

46:35 Speaker 12: Okay, oh yeah, yeah, very cool.

46:38 Speaker 5: We also got a bunch of sponsors for this thing.

46:41 Speaker 11: Oh yeah, Velvet, Velvet rain, Dney's Creations.

46:46 Speaker 12: Of course. I don't know who these people are.

46:49 Speaker 7: W m n h.

46:52 Speaker 11: Some guy named Matt Connorton.

46:56 Speaker 12: That guy right, that guy my corner. I don't know.

47:05 Speaker 2: The first time, the first time I was ever in

47:06 Speaker 2: the Hippopress, this was a very long time ago, they

47:09 Speaker 2: spelled my name Cornington.

47:11 Speaker 12: Oh my god, Cornington.

47:13 Speaker 22: That's interesting.

47:14 Speaker 17: Read.

47:15 Speaker 11: That's when people call me Williams Savant.

47:17 Speaker 12: I was that, Yeah, I was. I was displeased.

47:21 Speaker 2: The next time I was in there they got it right.

47:23 Speaker 2: But yeah, sorry, I didn't mean to direct. We should

47:27 Speaker 2: definitely show some love to these sponsors.

47:29 Speaker 11: Yeah, you want to Denay's Creations. Lots of crafters, and

47:34 Speaker 11: I don't mean like corny crafting. These these folks are good.

47:39 Speaker 22: I'm talking beautiful stuff.

47:42 Speaker 12: Apparel, jewelry, yes, everything is.

47:51 Speaker 11: Yeah. We have a theme going this year, and that's inclusion.

47:55 Speaker 11: The big theme this year is brown people, gay people, women,

48:02 Speaker 11: white people, brown people. If you like metal, if you

48:07 Speaker 11: like country, if you're there for for human peace and

48:12 Speaker 11: you're there to for the music, and you're there for

48:15 Speaker 11: the neighborhood and you're there to make friends, you're welcome there. Yeah,

48:19 Speaker 11: that's the theme.

48:19 Speaker 12: Excellent, outstanding. No, I like that.

48:21 Speaker 5: I heard Rain is going to be bringing some cool

48:24 Speaker 5: Stepsist themed candles.

48:26 Speaker 11: Oh there's Yeah, a lot of the crafters are doing

48:29 Speaker 11: like Swarmy Fest theme stuff or Stepsist theme stuff or

48:34 Speaker 11: it feels good, the energy is good.

48:36 Speaker 5: Yeah, there's so much chakra things to chacra set cool.

48:40 Speaker 11: Yeah, and of course again it's it's been hard to

48:45 Speaker 11: actually get new sponsors because our sponsors are so awesome

48:48 Speaker 11: every year. That's a good sign when your sponsors want

48:52 Speaker 11: to come back, and when you want the same sponsors,

48:56 Speaker 11: it's really good. So Legion of Solace is bad as

49:00 Speaker 11: our main sponsors shout out to Tuesday and them shout

49:03 Speaker 11: out to Bruce and they're so awesome.

49:08 Speaker 23: Actually, God, Legion Bracelet at last year swarming.

49:13 Speaker 12: Right now.

49:15 Speaker 11: And the reason why we keep bringing Legion of Solace

49:19 Speaker 11: back as well as Matt Connorton is because they're perfect fits.

49:24 Speaker 11: They know, you guys know what we're trying to do.

49:28 Speaker 11: It's clear English, it's straight lines. And if anybody ever

49:33 Speaker 11: wanted to experience being in a band and having authentic,

49:38 Speaker 11: legit sponsors come in and sponsor your band and sponsor

49:44 Speaker 11: a local show, Legion of Solace is it. They are

49:49 Speaker 11: the reason every Swarmy Fest, Legion of Solace has been

49:53 Speaker 11: our main sponsors. And the reason why is because they're legit.

49:59 Speaker 12: Yep. Absolute.

50:00 Speaker 22: I love their new logo and they got it logo

50:03 Speaker 22: is awesome.

50:04 Speaker 12: I'll have to check that out. I really want a

50:06 Speaker 12: T shirt.

50:07 Speaker 5: I love the art.

50:08 Speaker 11: Right, they changed their logo and then you know, we

50:48 Speaker 2: so I noticed things like that.

50:49 Speaker 5: Yeah, definitely time for an upgrade. We were feeling like

50:56 Speaker 5: had to improve that a little bit. Much easier to
