1:23 Speaker 5: founder and we're the co founders. But also Legion of Solace.

1:27 Speaker 5: That what we do is to help promote anything in everything

1:29 Speaker 5: we can put our helping hand into, Okay, whether it's

1:32 Speaker 5: a band, a venue, or anything else beneficial wise that

1:37 Speaker 5: will help better the community, whether it's music wise, benu

1:41 Speaker 5: wise that says helping that helps the music world to

1:45 Speaker 5: anybody who is backing and trying to have more local

1:49 Speaker 5: and up and coming bands shows, that's.

1:52 Speaker 3: What we're for, okay.

1:54 Speaker 5: And we're trying to eventually get to the point where

1:57 Speaker 5: we be like a big hub of like, hey, well

2:01 Speaker 5: we had a show that didn't it fell through? You know,

2:04 Speaker 5: is there anything that we can pick up along the

2:05 Speaker 5: way we're going to be traveling through Virginia here and

2:07 Speaker 5: such a well, yes, let me call such such such

2:10 Speaker 5: such a this venue and we'll try to light something up,

2:12 Speaker 5: you know, or just even like I said, we we

2:15 Speaker 5: sponsored No Boy too back called No Boy and we

2:19 Speaker 5: followed them on their mission of going to glory, you know,

2:21 Speaker 5: and helping promote them like on the radio shows that

2:24 Speaker 5: we have. Dark Mistress has a radio show and I

2:26 Speaker 5: have a radio show Quarantine Malaca that we do music

2:30 Speaker 5: videos and have anybody come in mind is more requests

2:34 Speaker 5: form you would come in.

2:35 Speaker 3: And we'll just have fun and feel the vibe of

2:38 Speaker 3: the room for the day. Yeah.

2:42 Speaker 1: So now the how how long have all three of

2:46 Speaker 1: you been involved in Legion of Solas?

2:50 Speaker 2: Malcolm and Rebecca were involved before I was.

2:53 Speaker 3: Oh okay.

2:53 Speaker 6: It started as more of like a social club mosh

2:56 Speaker 6: pit team, and in two thousand twenty one we moved

3:01 Speaker 6: into the realm of event sponsorship with Blue Ridge Rock

3:04 Speaker 6: Festival that year's iteration okay, And after the event, we

3:08 Speaker 6: decided to move from event sponsorship directly into involvement with

3:13 Speaker 6: the smaller bands just because of we're not going in

3:17 Speaker 6: when we're not going into too many details, just some

3:20 Speaker 6: of the things we saw that we thought we could

3:22 Speaker 6: change and handle better. Yeah, direct relationships and that that's.

3:27 Speaker 2: Worked out quite well for us.

3:28 Speaker 6: We actually this September celebrated three years converting to a

3:35 Speaker 6: more involved entity in the music scene, and it's worked

3:42 Speaker 6: out really well. We call ourselves full service. We can

3:45 Speaker 6: do everything but book the show itself. But like we

3:48 Speaker 6: even catered the pre party last night. When we're not

3:52 Speaker 6: doing this, I cook for a living. Malcolm also cooks

3:54 Speaker 6: for a living, So when you put us both in

3:56 Speaker 6: the same room, it's like a chop challenge working.

3:59 Speaker 5: Yeah, And plus we just wanted to kind of find

4:03 Speaker 5: some way to up the annie of what we did

4:06 Speaker 5: last year of just coming over and hanging out and

4:09 Speaker 5: just being a presence. We were trying to be involved

4:12 Speaker 5: as much as possibly can. And like I said, you know,

4:15 Speaker 5: when we say we come at you full service, it's

4:17 Speaker 5: even to the point where I'm an ordained minister, like

4:20 Speaker 5: I can literally marry in every state of Virginia.

4:24 Speaker 1: Would you be performing any wedding tonight at Swermyfest.

4:27 Speaker 5: I mean, I can throw one down for you real quickly,

4:29 Speaker 5: no problem, it needs to be done. It needs to

4:31 Speaker 5: be done. I'm there for the service of it as

4:33 Speaker 5: well as we need more. We're trying to change it

4:37 Speaker 5: up in the world more now, you know, like we

4:39 Speaker 5: need more different ways of doing it instead of like,

4:40 Speaker 5: don't get me twisted. Traditional weddings are beautiful, it's very

4:44 Speaker 5: eclectic and everything else like that, But what why can't

4:47 Speaker 5: we be more you know, unique. So if you're a

4:49 Speaker 5: metal hit and you don't want to go to the

4:51 Speaker 5: traditional ways, come find me.

4:53 Speaker 3: Yeah, because I'm a metal hit too. I love metal hit.

4:55 Speaker 3: I don't care, I'll sing it.

4:56 Speaker 5: You're comes sobody, you know, whatever gets it done. The

5:02 Speaker 5: whole point about it is is just we're here at

5:05 Speaker 5: full service for the music because we love music.

5:07 Speaker 3: I come from both sides of the spectrum.

5:09 Speaker 5: I used to be in a well known band that's

5:11 Speaker 5: been around Lensburg, Virginia for over twenty years. But even

5:15 Speaker 5: me growing up following that band before I joined them,

5:18 Speaker 5: and they were called hateful Bones. You see what I'm saying.

5:20 Speaker 5: And so I know the whole thing, like all of

5:23 Speaker 5: what Will is preaching the same thing. The Will was

5:26 Speaker 5: preaching about trying to be there for the music and

5:28 Speaker 5: helping there. That's my band down did the same thing

5:30 Speaker 5: down where we were at, like we were even getting

5:33 Speaker 5: peeped trying to help get people even to go on

5:35 Speaker 5: to Blue Red Rock Festival when we want our showcase

5:38 Speaker 5: of going to do in the after show at Blue

5:40 Speaker 5: Red Rock Festival. So you see what I'm saying, Like

5:43 Speaker 5: me following that band is what it eventually got me to.

5:46 Speaker 5: Where I'm at now is where I want to be

5:48 Speaker 5: a pretty much hub like you or a spot where

5:52 Speaker 5: you can come and put your music at where you

5:54 Speaker 5: can spend your blood, sweat and tears into it. You

5:56 Speaker 5: don't have to sit there and go through the cesspool

5:58 Speaker 5: that is the music indust have it done, because I mean,

6:02 Speaker 5: if you think about it, legitly, it's here.

6:04 Speaker 3: That's what it is. It's successful.

6:07 Speaker 5: I mean, it's just poison after poison, have to poison.

6:10 Speaker 5: So I mean, the better make it easier for everybody

6:13 Speaker 5: as well as the more people who help share it.

6:15 Speaker 5: And not only not so you're amusing being heard, but

6:18 Speaker 5: it helps us to push more across, whether it be

6:21 Speaker 5: America or internationally, because that's what our initial goal is.

6:25 Speaker 5: We want to be able to be hit up from

6:26 Speaker 5: people and you know, Australia, you know it les you

6:30 Speaker 5: know what I'm saying, England and be like hey, we're

6:32 Speaker 5: coming to America and you know this gig fell through.

6:35 Speaker 3: Can you hook us up? Yeah?

6:37 Speaker 5: But if not already have our own you know, eventually

6:40 Speaker 5: in due time land space property where we can throw

6:43 Speaker 5: on our own leaders and solves of it. And it's

6:46 Speaker 5: not paid to play. It's you come in and you

6:49 Speaker 5: get paid and you play. You see what I'm saying, Like,

6:53 Speaker 5: not you paying and sell tickets? I mean yes, obviously, yes,

6:56 Speaker 5: we want you to promote and try to help push

6:58 Speaker 5: to where.

6:58 Speaker 3: Some of your people will buy tickets. But it's not

7:01 Speaker 3: going to be a guarantee.

7:01 Speaker 5: Like how you got to go play on these big

7:03 Speaker 5: festivals and like Sonic Temple whatever. You know what I'm saying,

7:06 Speaker 5: like you gotta you gotta go out there and put

7:08 Speaker 5: in some extra work to do so.

7:10 Speaker 3: But we don't want that.

7:12 Speaker 5: We want you to be able to come in and

7:13 Speaker 5: have as much fun as you can, enjoy the full experience,

7:16 Speaker 5: because that's what that's what happened back in the day,

7:19 Speaker 5: you know Woodstock. You know people they were just coming

7:21 Speaker 5: and having a ball. You know, it wasn't like pay

7:24 Speaker 5: to play. They probably would looked at you, stupid with

7:27 Speaker 5: a guitar case. Of course, it's crazy.

7:31 Speaker 3: Now what about you were back at how did you

7:33 Speaker 3: get involved in this?

7:34 Speaker 7: So I actually met Malcolm back Blue Ridge when he

7:37 Speaker 7: was working for Hafel Bones, Okay, and I was just

7:40 Speaker 7: a bubbly, bouncy little child. So I was like, what

7:45 Speaker 7: can I do to help? And he was like, here's

7:47 Speaker 7: a ticket or backstage pass. You can go ahead and

7:49 Speaker 7: help us with pictures and a whole bunch of other things.

7:52 Speaker 7: And so I just kind of picked up and followed

7:54 Speaker 7: him around. And it's always been a big part of

7:57 Speaker 7: my life to just help bands. I've got tons of

7:59 Speaker 7: friends down in Radford and Roanoke area that are bands.

8:02 Speaker 7: I've got friends down in Woodbridge, Virginia that are also

8:06 Speaker 7: bands trying to get big. And so when he was like, yeah,

8:08 Speaker 7: we're actually converting it from just this group that we

8:11 Speaker 7: hang out with. We're going to go big and we

8:13 Speaker 7: want to do stuff with it, I'm like helping people.

8:15 Speaker 7: I'm in what can I do?

8:16 Speaker 3: Yeah?

8:17 Speaker 1: Oh, excellent, excellent? And so how long I may have

8:20 Speaker 1: asked this before, but how long has this? How long

8:22 Speaker 1: has this existed? It's been a number of years now, right.

8:25 Speaker 5: Right, Well, to give the backstory, and I'm not going

8:28 Speaker 5: to stay in the other club. It initially started off

8:30 Speaker 5: where we all met in a whole other music club.

8:35 Speaker 5: Like we was even to the point where when we

8:38 Speaker 5: says the club experience, meaning is like most people thought

8:42 Speaker 5: we were MC's Yeah, because we were, because we were

8:45 Speaker 5: the whole battle vest. We had our heart patch, we

8:48 Speaker 5: had our you know, but we didn't have the three

8:50 Speaker 5: piece on the back, like it literally says leads to

8:52 Speaker 5: solid music promotion because we want to, you know, separate

8:56 Speaker 5: ourselves from that look. But we love that look because

8:59 Speaker 5: that's what's in rock and roll. That's what's always You

9:01 Speaker 5: always wears your battle vest to a festival. You've always

9:04 Speaker 5: wears your battle vest to a monspit. You've always done

9:06 Speaker 5: you know, you've always had your stuff where Hey, this

9:08 Speaker 5: man I saw back in nineteen eighty seven, and uh,

9:11 Speaker 5: they rocked my world and I had to get some

9:13 Speaker 5: kind of memory, you know what I'm saying.

9:14 Speaker 3: Yeah, you gotta you have that jacket.

9:16 Speaker 5: Where it has those war wounds where you know, like

9:18 Speaker 5: I was in that modspit of you know, Metallica where

9:21 Speaker 5: that dude almost got his neck burk.

9:24 Speaker 6: You know, even even before the age of the battle vest,

9:28 Speaker 6: it was the washed out, acid washed denim jacket the

9:31 Speaker 6: eighties with with your your old favorite band T shirt

9:34 Speaker 6: that you've worn one too many times, so you cut

9:36 Speaker 6: the front of it off and iron it onto the

9:37 Speaker 6: back of the jacket. Now it's totally aware.

9:40 Speaker 5: But yeah, so that's initially what it was, and it

9:42 Speaker 5: was the club experience. But and we were doing both simultaneously.

9:45 Speaker 5: But to uh, to get ourselves more format and structured

9:50 Speaker 5: and stable within the music community, to know that we

9:52 Speaker 5: are dead serious about this, we took away the club

9:55 Speaker 5: aspect for a little while and then uh just focused

9:59 Speaker 5: and so focus on just.

10:01 Speaker 3: Fine bands, fine bands, fine bands.

10:03 Speaker 5: Like I said, I wanted to do my radio show because,

10:06 Speaker 5: like I said, I've always wanted to be on radio

10:07 Speaker 5: show earlier to you.

10:08 Speaker 3: You've got the voice for it. Yeah, I try. I'll

10:11 Speaker 3: show you a little skin of what I do.

10:13 Speaker 5: But like, if you like, if you wanted to listen

10:15 Speaker 5: to it on fing radio, cool, I would like to

10:17 Speaker 5: do that also. But my thing was is I wanted

10:19 Speaker 5: to be the visual one because I've always entertained being

10:22 Speaker 5: on some kind of stage. So, you know, in order,

10:25 Speaker 5: especially when I'm not doing my music, I miss music

10:28 Speaker 5: so much that I would rather you know, start a

10:31 Speaker 5: radio show where I can have the music video up

10:34 Speaker 5: and me sitting in the corner like showing all right

10:37 Speaker 5: and just going at it, you know what I'm saying,

10:39 Speaker 5: Just having fun and banging, getting the crowd wrapped up,

10:43 Speaker 5: rilled up, and have an entertainment, just pretty much purely

10:46 Speaker 5: bringing as much true passion to this thing. Because when

10:51 Speaker 5: I grew up, it was you know, it was rebel radio.

10:54 Speaker 5: Say oh, you don't want me to play that? Screw

10:56 Speaker 5: you d You know what I'm saying, It's done, it's on.

11:00 Speaker 5: So that's what I mean. I grew up in that

11:01 Speaker 5: area and I would love to get that back because

11:03 Speaker 5: it's some of the things that we grew up on

11:06 Speaker 5: in rock and roll and how it went it should

11:09 Speaker 5: have never changed.

11:10 Speaker 3: It wasn't broken. Let's not break it again, you know

11:13 Speaker 3: what I'm saying.

11:13 Speaker 5: Let's fix it and put it back the way it was,

11:15 Speaker 5: because obviously it was going better that way than it

11:17 Speaker 5: was you breaking it and trying to sell it, you

11:20 Speaker 5: know what I'm saying.

11:20 Speaker 3: So I'm all about rubber radio.

11:22 Speaker 5: I'm all about, you know, just going out there and

11:24 Speaker 5: having fun, just enjoying music, like how anybody would do.

11:28 Speaker 5: I would love to be able to have somebody call

11:30 Speaker 5: in and say, hey, man, that last song you play

11:32 Speaker 5: we're on a road trip, but it set the moment

11:34 Speaker 5: for our you know, our thing.

11:36 Speaker 3: And it's not even a band. I know who is

11:37 Speaker 3: that band? You see what I'm saying.

11:39 Speaker 5: We want to get everybody passionate and loving music again

11:43 Speaker 5: instead of just being like, well, I listened to Slip

11:45 Speaker 5: Night from nineteen ninety eight for you know, the past

11:47 Speaker 5: twenty five years and Creed the Farms wide open, you know,

11:50 Speaker 5: some Lincoln Park from back in the day, and you know,

11:53 Speaker 5: we want you to be able to still open your

11:55 Speaker 5: mind and be collected to new stuff and not just

11:57 Speaker 5: to be stuck in the same world.

11:59 Speaker 1: Right, It's hard to get a lot of people, it's

12:03 Speaker 1: hard to even get them into new stuff. This is

12:04 Speaker 1: a subject that comes up a lot on the show

12:06 Speaker 1: because a lot of people they get to a certain

12:08 Speaker 1: age and it's like, I mean, if I had to

12:10 Speaker 1: guess what the averages, I would guess thirty. But I

12:13 Speaker 1: think for some people it's like when they graduate high

12:15 Speaker 1: school where they just kind of go, Okay, I've heard

12:18 Speaker 1: all the music I ever need to hear. I'm only

12:20 Speaker 1: going to like music up to this point, and anything

12:23 Speaker 1: after this I don't like because all the good music

12:26 Speaker 1: has already been made and people just get locked in.

12:30 Speaker 1: And I like to bring up my father is a

12:34 Speaker 1: great exception to that. My dad's in his seventies. He

12:36 Speaker 1: lives on the seacoast and he listens to WUNH, the

12:40 Speaker 1: great college station there because he loves to hear new stuff.

12:43 Speaker 1: He's always listening.

12:44 Speaker 3: To new music.

12:45 Speaker 1: Like you wouldn't get into You wouldn't get into a

12:47 Speaker 1: car with my dad and you're the oldies station on

12:49 Speaker 1: the radio. This is not gonna happen. He loves hearing

12:51 Speaker 1: new stuff and he's always been like that. But that's rare.

12:55 Speaker 1: I feel like a lot of people they just get

12:56 Speaker 1: to a certain point and they go, oh, that's it.

12:58 Speaker 1: Everything after this I just don't.

13:00 Speaker 3: I just don't like right.

13:01 Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm thirty seven and I still want to go

13:03 Speaker 5: find newer things. That's the whole reason for this, as

13:06 Speaker 5: well as how can you say call this work like

13:09 Speaker 5: this is I literally do cooking, but when this is

13:12 Speaker 5: supposed to be a second job too, Yeah, it's not.

13:14 Speaker 5: Because we have so much passion and love for it. Yeah,

13:17 Speaker 5: it's a vacation. Yeah, yeah, I mean the whole entire

13:19 Speaker 5: time me and Becka was on the way up here.

13:21 Speaker 5: We have not been able to decompress from our years

13:24 Speaker 5: of stress because the whole incident Blue and Rock Festival happened,

13:27 Speaker 5: and you know a few other places just disappearing, like

13:30 Speaker 5: Epics Center only coming around for one year.

13:32 Speaker 3: We have not been able to find, you know, affordable.

13:37 Speaker 5: Festival to go to, you know what I'm saying, to

13:39 Speaker 5: decpress and enjoy what we love and hearing new bands

13:42 Speaker 5: and finding new bands or whatever, yeah, around my area.

13:45 Speaker 5: So it's like coming up here is our decompression to

13:49 Speaker 5: reset our minds to be able to deal with the

13:51 Speaker 5: rest of distress of the year that's going to come

13:53 Speaker 5: to us.

13:53 Speaker 3: Yeah, you see what I'm saying. Oh yeah, absolutely, So,

13:56 Speaker 3: like that's how.

13:56 Speaker 5: Much we love music, is that it helps us in

13:59 Speaker 5: more ways in one yeah, you know, other than just

14:02 Speaker 5: passing time, Like oh that was just that was just

14:04 Speaker 5: a good song, you know what I'm just I'm glad

14:08 Speaker 5: I accidentally listened to that. No, no, this is we're

14:10 Speaker 5: really going. I literally sat there, sat there. Sometimes not

14:13 Speaker 5: here recently because I've been busy with working as a

14:16 Speaker 5: cook yeah, that I would sit there and I wouldn't

14:21 Speaker 5: even tell him.

14:22 Speaker 3: Like the next day, like I barely got three. I

14:23 Speaker 3: was asleep. Man, I've been.

14:25 Speaker 5: I went down what I call it, you know, the wormhole.

14:27 Speaker 5: I went down the rabbit hole, and I went so

14:30 Speaker 5: far that it's like I'm, you know, pretty much the

14:32 Speaker 5: mad Hatter sitting there on my twentieth cup of coffee

14:35 Speaker 5: or tea, and just like, man, let mean, what do

14:38 Speaker 5: I find? Because once I start finding new stuff that

14:40 Speaker 5: I've never heard in my life, whether either they've been

14:43 Speaker 5: signed to something a label that is not very fancy

14:47 Speaker 5: or one of the big labels, I'm all about finding

14:50 Speaker 5: new music. Like That's why I have a segment in

14:52 Speaker 5: my thing called Mystery Bands with Malachi.

14:55 Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying.

14:55 Speaker 5: So like where I spend at least thirty seconds to

14:58 Speaker 5: a minute dead radio solids and just sit there and

15:02 Speaker 5: go scroll, scroll, just so I can also knock out

15:04 Speaker 5: two birds with one stone and prove that it is

15:06 Speaker 5: not that hard to find new music.

15:08 Speaker 3: Well that's the thing.

15:09 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's easier than ever. There's no excuse not to

15:11 Speaker 1: not to.

15:12 Speaker 5: I mean, you have Apple, you have you know Spotify,

15:15 Speaker 5: you have all these other.

15:16 Speaker 7: Things, but you got TikTok.

15:18 Speaker 3: Yeah, you got TikTok. You got all these bands.

15:20 Speaker 5: Like That's how I'm finding some of these bands that

15:22 Speaker 5: are before they get too big where you can't play

15:25 Speaker 5: them because I don't have any certifications to play through

15:27 Speaker 5: my radio station except for on Twitch. They'll let so

15:30 Speaker 5: much go. But if you start playing some godsmack, right,

15:34 Speaker 5: you know, it's like all right, no, we got to

15:35 Speaker 5: meet that, you know what I'm saying. So I have limits,

15:38 Speaker 5: so as long as I stay where I'm supposed to

15:40 Speaker 5: be at, which is the content of local and up

15:43 Speaker 5: and coming as well as requests and every now and again,

15:46 Speaker 5: like I said, I love my Rebel radio, So because

15:47 Speaker 5: I'm on to Rebel to the core, every now and again,

15:50 Speaker 5: you might see me sneak something in there, even if

15:52 Speaker 5: it's like thirty to forty five seconds of you know,

15:55 Speaker 5: five minutes alone or you know what I'm saying, like

15:58 Speaker 5: something really cool that everybody to kind of just keep

16:01 Speaker 5: the hypeness and the joy of the room. But other

16:03 Speaker 5: than that, that's what our platforms are made for, is

16:05 Speaker 5: to help up and coming and anything local.

16:08 Speaker 3: Where do you stream I do it?

16:11 Speaker 5: I've been on the mix on the mix of going

16:13 Speaker 5: back and forth between Facebook and Twitch, because Facebook for

16:17 Speaker 5: the longest time was letting me play whatever, even if

16:19 Speaker 5: it was something well known.

16:21 Speaker 3: And then it cut to the point where as long

16:22 Speaker 3: as it.

16:23 Speaker 5: Was local and the AI couldn't pick it up, I

16:27 Speaker 5: could play it on Facebook. And then I was like,

16:29 Speaker 5: all right, I was tired of losing all my fans

16:32 Speaker 5: because for the longest time, for like the first few years,

16:34 Speaker 5: I've been doing according to your malcoa almost little almost

16:37 Speaker 5: five years, yeah and some And when I first started out,

16:40 Speaker 5: I was playing to nobody, even on Facebook. It was

16:42 Speaker 5: like one two people come in and like, oh, you're

16:44 Speaker 5: playing videos. No, no, we don't go away. I don't want

16:46 Speaker 5: to listen to that. I don't want to see the

16:48 Speaker 5: light show. I don't want you know what I'm saying, Like, so, uh,

16:50 Speaker 5: for a couple of years I played to myself, which

16:52 Speaker 5: is fine. I still went on there and say, all

16:54 Speaker 5: have fun. The experience is what it was needed, and uh.

16:58 Speaker 5: But I initially started doing it on there, and then

17:01 Speaker 5: when they started really hardcore getting into it, like pretty

17:04 Speaker 5: much redstream and immediately blocking your your feed, it was like,

17:09 Speaker 5: all right, now I need to find something else. So

17:10 Speaker 5: I went to Twitch. Okay, we're on the mixture of

17:12 Speaker 5: Twitch and all that, and now that Discord is coming

17:16 Speaker 5: more suis to of actually doing live shows. Yeah, I

17:20 Speaker 5: feel like over there they would give you. And then

17:22 Speaker 5: this is like some places like Patreon and all that,

17:24 Speaker 5: if you do a lot, they don't care what you

17:26 Speaker 5: do over there. You can literally go over there and

17:29 Speaker 5: spit into a bucket, you know what I'm saying, all

17:31 Speaker 5: day long and the har entire time, and they wouldn't care,

17:33 Speaker 5: you see what I'm saying. So yeah, that being that,

17:37 Speaker 5: it's all depending on the where you go and how

17:38 Speaker 5: much you want to pay. So Twitch is kind of

17:40 Speaker 5: like in our feed because right now what we're doing,

17:42 Speaker 5: we're running this company off our own wallet.

17:44 Speaker 3: Yeah. This is not like we're out here scamming people

17:47 Speaker 3: and getting it all over. No. We Actually that's what

17:49 Speaker 3: I'm said.

17:50 Speaker 5: When we go to you go to our Legion of

17:51 Speaker 5: Solace dot com page, and you go to lesion on

17:53 Speaker 5: and you buy merch that money is not going into

17:56 Speaker 5: our pockets. If it does help to us to either

17:59 Speaker 5: a get up here to do something or a B

18:01 Speaker 5: two spots or something, yes we might use a little bit.

18:03 Speaker 5: Other than that, most of that money goes to Hey,

18:06 Speaker 5: use this band said they needed a sponsorship. They're about

18:08 Speaker 5: to go on toward there's short two hundred dollars in

18:11 Speaker 5: between two to four hundred dollars.

18:12 Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, we all talk amongst each other.

18:14 Speaker 5: You have enough to do it this week, Yeah, put

18:17 Speaker 5: the money together, send it off to them.

18:19 Speaker 3: There you go. Like everything that we're doing, we're running

18:21 Speaker 3: straight out of pocket.

18:22 Speaker 5: Like I just bought a new gamer laptop just to

18:24 Speaker 5: make sure I have good enough multitasking streaming.

18:27 Speaker 3: Yeah, to be able to do this.

18:29 Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly.

18:30 Speaker 3: It's all my own TM.

18:31 Speaker 5: And it's not like we're you know, it's basically like

18:32 Speaker 5: I said, we're gonna be becoming an LLC, yeah and

18:35 Speaker 5: all that stuff. We're working towards all everything, but it's

18:39 Speaker 5: just got to do what we got to do for

18:40 Speaker 5: right now.

18:41 Speaker 1: At the top, I was curious about the streaming because

18:43 Speaker 1: my experience with this show is so like, right now,

18:45 Speaker 1: we're streaming a Facebook and YouTube. Yeah, and what what

18:49 Speaker 1: has been happening lately is so Facebook. I'll get a

18:52 Speaker 1: notification afterward that says you're sharing ad revenue with whoever

18:57 Speaker 1: the guests music that we played was, which is fine,

19:00 Speaker 1: and then I just click except so so it stays

19:03 Speaker 1: on Facebook. They don't take it down because for there

19:05 Speaker 1: was a little bit of a period where they would

19:06 Speaker 1: actually just.

19:07 Speaker 3: Take it down. Now they don't.

19:08 Speaker 1: And with YouTube, I usually get a notification that just

19:11 Speaker 1: says sometimes it'll say your video is blocked in certain countries,

19:16 Speaker 1: but never the US, which is good, and and they

19:20 Speaker 1: just you know, I can't monetize it, which I don't

19:22 Speaker 1: expect to be able to anyway, because I'm you know,

19:24 Speaker 1: it's copyrighted stuff.

19:26 Speaker 5: But once they see that you're an actual legit FM

19:30 Speaker 5: and AM radio station, yeah, they probably like, oh, well,

19:33 Speaker 5: he has the the credits to do.

19:35 Speaker 1: So I think you're right, because I because I used

19:37 Speaker 1: to get blocked, like on Facebook. They would block it,

19:39 Speaker 1: and then I would file the appeal and I would

19:41 Speaker 1: say that I would say, we're a federally LICENSEDUFF and

19:43 Speaker 1: radio station. But I had this whole spiel, and then

19:46 Speaker 1: after a while they just stopped blocking it. And then

19:48 Speaker 1: and then instead I started getting the ad revenue share

19:50 Speaker 1: of thing. So yeah, but you said so, but Twitch

19:53 Speaker 1: doesn't give you a hard time.

19:56 Speaker 5: So I'm playing something extremely well known, like a well

19:59 Speaker 5: known bay like five a death punch.

20:00 Speaker 3: Okay, I'm a god or something that.

20:02 Speaker 5: Immediately as soon as you hear like, oh that's for sugar,

20:05 Speaker 5: Oh that's you know, bullon Parade, that's this.

20:08 Speaker 3: You know.

20:08 Speaker 5: If it ain't got that, it's good, like anything that's

20:12 Speaker 5: up and coming. That's why I try this, like, because

20:14 Speaker 5: I'm one person and I can't get all the way

20:16 Speaker 5: around America and deep into the bowels of it. That's

20:19 Speaker 5: why we, like I said, we have the Legion of

20:22 Speaker 5: Solace to where you can come into any of our pages. Yeah,

20:25 Speaker 5: talk to us right and say, hey, man, I came

20:27 Speaker 5: across this band that I saw last night at an

20:30 Speaker 5: underground show. Here's their credentials, here's what this is. Here's

20:34 Speaker 5: a good video that you can put upon your show,

20:36 Speaker 5: or you can just come in and drop the link

20:38 Speaker 5: in to my radio a radio show. Yeah, it doesn't matter.

20:40 Speaker 5: As long as it's not something well known, We're good.

20:43 Speaker 3: Yeah.

20:44 Speaker 1: I was curious about that too, because I could in theory,

20:46 Speaker 1: I could stream this to Twitch and it's set up

20:48 Speaker 1: to do that. But the only reason I don't is

20:50 Speaker 1: because I've just heard horror stories about them being super

20:55 Speaker 1: touchy about.

20:56 Speaker 5: It is what it is. I think it's more along

20:58 Speaker 5: the lines, especially like if you can fighting it, like

21:02 Speaker 5: with you having all the conditionals to do so, yeah,

21:05 Speaker 5: they're immediately like all right, well we'll let you go

21:07 Speaker 5: and we we'll leave you alone.

21:09 Speaker 3: I have a feeling that feeling.

21:10 Speaker 5: The only time they've ever bothered me is actually if

21:13 Speaker 5: I'm putting up a legit video of like, you know,

21:17 Speaker 5: Loan of Shores and I put up you know, the

21:20 Speaker 5: hell fire video and you know, actually put it to

21:24 Speaker 5: where people can go back and rewatch it, then that'll

21:28 Speaker 5: be a problem. But if it's a band or unlike

21:30 Speaker 5: up and coming band or local band, it's not gonna

21:34 Speaker 5: be it's not gonna be matter because there's not on

21:36 Speaker 5: their registry to be like, well we can't we can't buck.

21:39 Speaker 3: There's no stopping that.

21:40 Speaker 5: That's why that's why I was like wanted to also

21:43 Speaker 5: talk to you, like how did you even be able

21:44 Speaker 5: to get disappeal on that field radio? Because I wanted

21:47 Speaker 5: to figure out how I can do that same thing

21:50 Speaker 5: down in Listbord, Virginia in my home because that's literally

21:53 Speaker 5: what I do. I sit in my studio and I

21:55 Speaker 5: just go down the rabbit hole and find up and

21:58 Speaker 5: coming bands and design bands or whoever somebody comes in

22:01 Speaker 5: and request. Yeah, and play it like we've been playing

22:04 Speaker 5: a bunch of the bands like Dead by Wednesday.

22:06 Speaker 3: I'll play them just about all the time on the

22:08 Speaker 3: radio show.

22:09 Speaker 5: Yeah, I've played Uh, I played Sepsist all the time,

22:12 Speaker 5: playing now bite what inverter? Yeah, we play all the

22:18 Speaker 5: inverter guys. You know anybody that we I've ben't come

22:20 Speaker 5: across personally or just I found a monst going down

22:25 Speaker 5: the rabbit hole. Okay, I'm playing on the radio show,

22:28 Speaker 5: And like I said, you're always welcome, And I'm even

22:30 Speaker 5: about to start on what's up app things to where

22:33 Speaker 5: you can call in just like on your show. Like

22:35 Speaker 5: your show, you can call in and talk to me,

22:37 Speaker 5: and you can do your request per calling and we

22:40 Speaker 5: can even have a conversation. Because my podcast is whatever

22:44 Speaker 5: it is about music, whether we can talk about the

22:46 Speaker 5: whole it doesn't matter what genre you want to talk about.

22:49 Speaker 5: The Diddy situation. Let's talk about the Didy situation. Yeah,

22:51 Speaker 5: I geme my opinion on it. Cool, you know, blah

22:54 Speaker 5: blah blah. It's totally unsensored. And that's the great thing

22:56 Speaker 5: about twitch too, you can use as long as you

22:59 Speaker 5: set the the things right where it's you know, saying, hey,

23:02 Speaker 5: this is supposed to be something that's over eighteen blah

23:04 Speaker 5: blah blah blah, and then next thing, you know, you

23:07 Speaker 5: can do whatever you want and talk, you know, about

23:09 Speaker 5: whatever situations you want. Yeah, because I like, like Will,

23:12 Speaker 5: I'm a very I'm very I as you could tell,

23:15 Speaker 5: I'm trying to keep mine my composure about me and

23:19 Speaker 5: not trying to do anything stupid and just automatically like

23:21 Speaker 5: I'm on my own radio show and just go at it.

23:24 Speaker 5: I'm just one of those type of people. Yeah, I'm very.

23:28 Speaker 5: I don't have no filter. I have no filter at

23:30 Speaker 5: all whatsoever. So like you, it's even worse when I'm

23:33 Speaker 5: in the kitchen. I kid you, not even worse when

23:36 Speaker 5: I'm in the kitchen. So the thing about it is,

23:39 Speaker 5: it's just we're all here to have fun, man and

23:42 Speaker 5: live life. And our passion is music. My music is

23:45 Speaker 5: always in passion. Like my passion always in music, even

23:47 Speaker 5: when I was in middle school, all that stuff, growing

23:49 Speaker 5: up with a chorus, the band, everything that I possibly could,

23:53 Speaker 5: even to the point of getting kicked out about the

23:54 Speaker 5: music teacher because I'm wearing a Maryland Manson shirt. Oh okay, yeah,

23:58 Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying. My music teacher could not

24:00 Speaker 5: staying anybody who wanted to start a band. If you

24:04 Speaker 5: want to start a band with some trumpets, trumboes, some flutes,

24:07 Speaker 5: some sacks, He's down for that, right, but he wasn't

24:10 Speaker 5: for the whole Oh you coming into Maryland, Masster. Sure,

24:13 Speaker 5: Oh you got a navana, get a class. Yeah, I'll

24:17 Speaker 5: come from all that. Yeah, it's awesome.

24:20 Speaker 1: And you're so you're from Virginia and Bruce, you're in Massachusetts.

24:23 Speaker 2: I'm in Massachusetts. I grew up in Ohio. I've been

24:25 Speaker 2: out here for years.

24:26 Speaker 3: And Rebecca, where are you from?

24:27 Speaker 7: So I'm from northern Virginia, like right outside of DC.

24:30 Speaker 7: But for the past four years I was actually out

24:32 Speaker 7: in Colorado and just recently got back to northern Virginia.

24:36 Speaker 1: Oh okay, all right, very good. What what set you

24:39 Speaker 1: to Colorado?

24:41 Speaker 7: Personal life issues. I kind of had to abandon ship

24:44 Speaker 7: pretty quick and get out to safe zone with momtcha,

24:47 Speaker 7: and then rebuilt up. And now I'm kind of picking

24:50 Speaker 7: up the messes of what happened. But we're getting better

24:53 Speaker 7: and we're going up and good yeah.

24:55 Speaker 3: Good, good, very good.

24:57 Speaker 1: Yeah, if you are joining us, we have members of

25:01 Speaker 1: Legion of Solace here with us alive in studio. What

25:06 Speaker 1: are some of the things that you that you see

25:08 Speaker 1: wrong that because Bruce, you had made a reference to

25:10 Speaker 1: this earlier, you said some of the things that you

25:12 Speaker 1: see wrong in the in the music scene that that

25:15 Speaker 1: are part of the motivation for why you're doing the

25:17 Speaker 1: things that you want to fix or help with.

25:19 Speaker 6: The biggest issue is pay to play. Yeah, if you

25:22 Speaker 6: are providing talent and you are providing entertainment, why do

25:25 Speaker 6: you have to pay me to do so?

25:27 Speaker 3: Right?

25:28 Speaker 6: You are the artist in that situation. Shouldn't you be

25:30 Speaker 6: paid for your art?

25:32 Speaker 3: Yeah?

25:32 Speaker 6: So if you're invited, if like Jen, you don't get

25:38 Speaker 6: you don't get invited to Mosaic with a bill, you

25:41 Speaker 6: get invited to Mosaic with a hanging hook.

25:45 Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, she doesn't.

25:46 Speaker 4: But I do pay an entrance.

25:47 Speaker 3: There is an entrance, there's an entrance for you.

25:49 Speaker 4: That but but that's the jury show, so.

25:53 Speaker 2: Right, right, right, right?

25:54 Speaker 6: So, so the the entrance for you is to be juried, correct,

25:58 Speaker 6: But so so, but what once you're invited to be

26:01 Speaker 6: on the bill.

26:02 Speaker 2: There's no more money, right right.

26:04 Speaker 6: So and like so some of the bigger festivals, not

26:10 Speaker 6: only do they have an application fee if you're not selected,

26:13 Speaker 6: it's a non refundable application fee. Really so if it's so,

26:18 Speaker 6: like to take Blue Ridge for example, if they're booking

26:22 Speaker 6: one hundred and eighty six bands for the four days,

26:25 Speaker 6: they might take six hundred applications. Now, of those six

26:28 Speaker 6: hundred applications, they might only book forty of the small, independent,

26:31 Speaker 6: unsigned bands. So now that's five hundred and fifty bands.

26:35 Speaker 6: That just gave seventy five dollars application fee per band.

26:38 Speaker 6: Wow that they don't get back. Now, how many gigs

26:42 Speaker 6: could they have driven to for that seventy five dollars?

26:44 Speaker 6: How many meals could they have bought while they were

26:45 Speaker 6: on the road for that seventy five dollars?

26:47 Speaker 3: Rightactly?

26:48 Speaker 2: That that's where we come in.

26:51 Speaker 6: A lot of these promoters, especially like at the merch

26:54 Speaker 6: table things like that. My opinion is the venues are

26:59 Speaker 6: making a nice up charge on the liquor at the bars.

27:05 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that's where they make their money.

27:06 Speaker 6: Off, and especially ticket fees, especially with some of the

27:11 Speaker 6: national acts, even if you're not going through Ticketmaster, Live

27:14 Speaker 6: Nation or any any of the big demons in the

27:16 Speaker 6: ticket industry, even like e Tics or front Gate Tickets,

27:20 Speaker 6: ticket fly, You're still paying convenience fees. You're still paying

27:25 Speaker 6: a third party just for printing a ticket or putting

27:27 Speaker 6: your name on a list, and that that has to stop. Yeah, Like,

27:33 Speaker 6: I understand that venues need an income as well, and

27:37 Speaker 6: I understand that the service fee has a purpose, But

27:42 Speaker 6: why am I paying a nineteen dollars and seventy five

27:44 Speaker 6: cent service fee on a thirty five dollars ticket?

27:47 Speaker 2: Right?

27:48 Speaker 1: Well, the thing is too if you if you buy

27:50 Speaker 1: tickets online through Live Nation, Ticketmaster, it's the same thing spent.

27:56 Speaker 1: Like for a big tour. Very often, you have no

27:59 Speaker 1: idea what that final price is going to be until

28:01 Speaker 1: you get to that last screen and you might be

28:03 Speaker 1: going to see you know, you might think it's one

28:05 Speaker 1: hundred bucks a ticket to see whoever, and then and

28:09 Speaker 1: it's it's set up, so you don't know until you

28:11 Speaker 1: get to that very last screen. All of a sudden,

28:14 Speaker 1: there's all these fees and maybe you bought two tickets

28:17 Speaker 1: for one hundred bucks and it's gonna be two hundred

28:19 Speaker 1: total and uh, or you know, you might be savvy

28:22 Speaker 1: enough to think, wow, it's not gonna be two hundred bucks,

28:24 Speaker 1: this is gonna be more than that. There's gonna be

28:26 Speaker 1: some sort of taxes or whatnot. And you get to

28:28 Speaker 1: that final screen where it's you know, time to click

28:31 Speaker 1: purchase now, and it's like almost twice as much, right,

28:35 Speaker 1: It's it's incredible, I mean like.

28:36 Speaker 6: That, And it it's pricing a lot of the younger

28:42 Speaker 6: generations out of the bigger shows and out of the rooms.

28:46 Speaker 6: So it's also putting our local music scene and our

28:49 Speaker 6: younger music scene in jeopardy because every day we're losing

28:53 Speaker 6: small music venues because people are so disgusted with the

28:57 Speaker 6: way that it's going on at big music venues sure

29:00 Speaker 6: that they're just walking away from live music altogether and

29:02 Speaker 6: just and they're going back to the grassroots, going back

29:04 Speaker 6: to the bar, sit down, have a couple of beers,

29:07 Speaker 6: pay a five dollars cover charge, listen to three or

29:09 Speaker 6: four quality bands, or like in today's case, it's for

29:12 Speaker 6: me fast eight quality bands.

29:15 Speaker 2: It's what twenty bucks to get in the door tonight.

29:17 Speaker 6: If I remember correctly, I believe so yeah, so, and

29:21 Speaker 6: and they do have a bit of a service fee

29:23 Speaker 6: at the venue, and it's like maybe five or six

29:28 Speaker 6: dollars per Yeah, you know, so, which makes sense. You

29:30 Speaker 6: have to you have to help keep the lights on somehow.

29:33 Speaker 6: You have to pay the staff, which is which is respectable. Yeah,

29:37 Speaker 6: but five six dollars service charge is no different than

29:39 Speaker 6: giving your giving your waitress or your bartender a five

29:42 Speaker 6: dollars bill on your way out the door, saying thank

29:43 Speaker 6: you for what you did, right, right.

29:46 Speaker 1: But it's not a situation where you're you end up

29:48 Speaker 1: paying twice what you were expecting.

29:50 Speaker 5: Right yeah, right, Well, seeing that's the glorious thing about

29:52 Speaker 5: all the smaller bands. The band like events is like,

29:58 Speaker 5: come on now, I'm just like tonight, you get how

30:00 Speaker 5: many bands you get to go watch for that Bucky

30:03 Speaker 5: know yeah yeah it's twenty bucks. Like, man, I don't

30:06 Speaker 5: even know these bands. Why I should I have to

30:08 Speaker 5: pay this much? Because hell, you know you have those

30:10 Speaker 5: type of people.

30:11 Speaker 6: Right, I just I just want to take a second

30:14 Speaker 6: and mention all eight bands on the bill.

30:16 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, please?

30:17 Speaker 6: Opening is Diamond Edge, followed by Exception, then Lone Wolf,

30:22 Speaker 6: James Joint Damage, Hero and The Horror Casting Shadows Dead

30:28 Speaker 6: by Wednesday, and then Sepsis will be headlining the party.

30:33 Speaker 6: A reminder, doors are going to open at five, music

30:35 Speaker 6: starts at five thirty, and it's going to go almost

30:38 Speaker 6: continuously until roughly the eleven o'clock hour.

30:41 Speaker 3: Okay, okay, very good.

30:43 Speaker 6: And a tomato tomato, taffaa tafeta. Either way, it's easy.

30:48 Speaker 6: It's easy to find at one ten Western Avenue in Lowell, Massachusetts.

30:53 Speaker 3: I'm ninety nine, it's taffay. We're argument time.

30:59 Speaker 6: We have been having that internal discussion since about Tuesday ourselves.

31:03 Speaker 3: There is no way you.

31:07 Speaker 5: Should definitely hear you should hear our founder Tuesday. She's

31:10 Speaker 5: like she's trying to say to it's kind of like

31:12 Speaker 5: she's calling it taffy sometimes. But to answer your question

31:16 Speaker 5: more so, another reason why we try to do this is,

31:19 Speaker 5: like I said, I've been on the Blue Ridge two years,

31:21 Speaker 5: the first two years of and thank god we didn't

31:25 Speaker 5: have to pay the play. But I've seen everybody else's methods.

31:27 Speaker 5: Ye go in through this as well as the whole

31:31 Speaker 5: the whole way of the thing about it is it

31:36 Speaker 5: sucks because it should not have to go down the

31:39 Speaker 5: way It us Like we were trying to do a

31:40 Speaker 5: sponsorship to that we did do a sponsorship to them,

31:43 Speaker 5: and we made a big giant, you know, drop poster

31:48 Speaker 5: and all that to be put somewhere where they told

31:50 Speaker 5: us to do never got put up. We were supposed

31:52 Speaker 5: to put on the big teleproperters, teleprompters with our picture,

31:56 Speaker 5: you know, our logo. We was actually put upon the

31:59 Speaker 5: you know Savenger Hunt and all that stuff, but every

32:03 Speaker 5: nothing was properly advertised. We want to stop that because

32:07 Speaker 5: if people are paying to help you run this thing,

32:10 Speaker 5: our our thing for legion assoloshould have been up instead

32:13 Speaker 5: of at art. I have pictures of it where it's

32:14 Speaker 5: sitting at our tent site. Because they didn't want to.

32:18 Speaker 5: Nobody was communicating well enough, nobody was doing their job

32:22 Speaker 5: per se.

32:23 Speaker 1: And just to be clear, this is something that you

32:26 Speaker 1: paid for, yes, like out of podcast yes, and what

32:30 Speaker 1: did they have an excuse ready for you?

32:32 Speaker 5: We didn't even say nothing about it, like the next

32:34 Speaker 5: year that we tried to go do the same thing again.

32:37 Speaker 5: A Well, we need to have an insurance policy, especially

32:39 Speaker 5: if you're going to have a vendor setup, whether you're

32:41 Speaker 5: selling selling something or not, you need to make sure

32:45 Speaker 5: that the insurance on it is what a meal.

32:47 Speaker 2: I think it was two.

32:48 Speaker 3: Yeah, that we haven't had an insurance policy on just

32:51 Speaker 3: our of us.

32:52 Speaker 5: One of the set up spot to bring the information

32:54 Speaker 5: to people who love unsigned bands and up and coming talent.

32:58 Speaker 6: And it was literally or just in case like somebody

33:01 Speaker 6: fell down and hit their head on a table or

33:03 Speaker 6: are or like our our ten by ten canopy blew

33:06 Speaker 6: away and hit somebody, which twenty twenty three would would

33:09 Speaker 6: have made a lot of sense for that policy.

33:11 Speaker 5: Right, which I understand it's understand about how some kind

33:14 Speaker 5: of insertience policy, but it's all depending on what you're doing.

33:17 Speaker 5: Like with us, we're more like you come into the

33:20 Speaker 5: you know, coming into a new state, and it's like, hey,

33:22 Speaker 5: here's a welcome center. That's pretty much what we are

33:25 Speaker 5: after we get more stuff established. But even so then

33:28 Speaker 5: we roughly sell most of our stuff online. Yeah, we

33:31 Speaker 5: were for that year, we were going to push to

33:33 Speaker 5: try to get more long lives our dot com up

33:37 Speaker 5: and going and having traffic going to it. Yeah, but

33:40 Speaker 5: it didn't happen that way because for one, they didn't

33:42 Speaker 5: put our banner anywhere. They didn't have us up on

33:45 Speaker 5: the on the big teleproperties which were supposed to happen,

33:48 Speaker 5: what three times every third band?

33:51 Speaker 2: Okay, three times a day all four days.

33:54 Speaker 5: Oh yeah, for every third band on each set of stages.

33:57 Speaker 5: It's supposed to go three times a day. Yeah, we

33:59 Speaker 5: had ever happened.

34:00 Speaker 2: We had a group of fifteen people not a single

34:03 Speaker 2: eye sawt Oh wow.

34:04 Speaker 5: I mean literally, we have friends that we that me

34:07 Speaker 5: and Becca know from going to multiple festivals that we

34:10 Speaker 5: were like, hey, if you see it, sap a picture,

34:13 Speaker 5: text it to me, even though it might take the

34:14 Speaker 5: whole rest of the day to send it to me,

34:16 Speaker 5: because we're around.

34:16 Speaker 7: So many people, not added like another eighty set of

34:21 Speaker 7: eyes just from that individual group of people that I

34:23 Speaker 7: was hanging out with. I was like, keep an eye out,

34:26 Speaker 7: no one.

34:28 Speaker 3: So that's the saying, we.

34:29 Speaker 5: Want to stop that thing because that's something that you

34:31 Speaker 5: can easily be bypassed and that none of us could

34:34 Speaker 5: see because we're either we're in motion to another spot

34:39 Speaker 5: or you know what I'm saying. We want to stop

34:42 Speaker 5: the n needy not necessarily even if it was that's

34:45 Speaker 5: a problem. Sure, we don't want it to happen anymore.

34:48 Speaker 5: And then once we once we establish our own thing

34:50 Speaker 5: of doing our own concert thing, that's where we wanted

34:53 Speaker 5: to be. You want you to come in, live comfortably,

34:56 Speaker 5: drink it the water. Relax, he's talking to your show.

34:58 Speaker 5: We might even have some crew that will help put

35:01 Speaker 5: your equipment up there after you set it up there

35:03 Speaker 5: to where it makes it quicker for you, whatever the

35:05 Speaker 5: whole point about it is. And then at the end

35:07 Speaker 5: we hand you some money. Yep, as long as you're

35:10 Speaker 5: helping to push, promote and all that. Share share share

35:13 Speaker 5: share share that brings a lot more and the whole

35:15 Speaker 5: another thing. Competitiveness bands, that's another thing we want to stop.

35:19 Speaker 5: We want everybody to work together. We want to prove

35:22 Speaker 5: to everybody there's enough out here for everybody to get

35:25 Speaker 5: their their dreams desired, right right. There's no need to

35:28 Speaker 5: sit here and fight like, oh well no, no, we

35:29 Speaker 5: don't need that, man, because they're gonna outshine us tonight.

35:32 Speaker 5: Because my voice is a little rasping. We just did

35:34 Speaker 5: three shows the other night, you know, and I'm hitting

35:36 Speaker 5: you with the you know how you're doing the all

35:38 Speaker 5: faith you know voice. You know what I'm saying, like,

35:41 Speaker 5: oh well, whatever, so be if that's what happened, y'all

35:44 Speaker 5: did a great show tonight.

35:44 Speaker 3: Everybody has an off night. Stop the competitiveness work with

35:48 Speaker 3: each other.

35:48 Speaker 5: Stop saying well they're not just because they're not in

35:50 Speaker 5: our genre and we're doing heavy metal with the growls

35:53 Speaker 5: and screams, and they're they're more clean vocals, like like

35:56 Speaker 5: I saw knock Fest. It was Behemoth, but you're a

36:02 Speaker 5: slip knot bowlbeat.

36:05 Speaker 3: Yeah.

36:06 Speaker 7: I was security for that concert show because I was

36:08 Speaker 7: my first official paid job, and I don't know how

36:11 Speaker 7: many fights I had to stop that night because Bulbat

36:15 Speaker 7: and Yep and.

36:16 Speaker 3: That, and you got a slipknode like come on, And.

36:22 Speaker 7: The biggest thing was like personal from something not themselves.

36:25 Speaker 7: That was the tour where everybody started like fighting each

36:27 Speaker 7: other and like hitting each other with all the spikes

36:30 Speaker 7: on their jackets and everything like that.

36:31 Speaker 3: So I didn't hear about any of this really.

36:33 Speaker 7: Yeah, so it got really bad. I think the show

36:36 Speaker 7: previous to the venue that I was working at was

36:38 Speaker 7: like down in North Carolina or something like that, and

36:40 Speaker 7: people started grabbing their umbrellas and beating each other with it,

36:43 Speaker 7: and we don't, like, that's not a part of our crew.

36:45 Speaker 3: Now.

36:47 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's just crazy what we've all seen experienced in

36:51 Speaker 5: our time of being is because before I met back

36:54 Speaker 5: and she was traveling with our peoples all the time,

36:57 Speaker 5: going to festivals more than me. I didn't start going

37:00 Speaker 5: to festivals until well know, like eight nine years ago. Yeah,

37:04 Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying, and fell in love with it.

37:06 Speaker 5: I said, screw one night, or I'd rather pay that

37:09 Speaker 5: money that you would pay to have the VIP event

37:12 Speaker 5: all that stuff and go literally stay there and camp.

37:15 Speaker 3: Yeah, because that's.

37:16 Speaker 5: It makes it that much more memorable, that much more

37:19 Speaker 5: fun that you could meet new people that are in

37:21 Speaker 5: that world. I have just about every friend I've met

37:23 Speaker 5: I've met at an event. Yeah, and I've been really

37:26 Speaker 5: good friends except for like my childhood friends. Yeah, so everybody,

37:29 Speaker 5: like every time I go to a festival, it's a

37:31 Speaker 5: new friend. And I've met a new person in a

37:32 Speaker 5: new state, city, country. You know, it does not matter,

37:36 Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying. That's the whole point. We

37:38 Speaker 5: want to communicate and do this pretty much like how

37:40 Speaker 5: it was back in the day. Hey, Ozzie, you want

37:42 Speaker 5: to come play with you know, Jimmy and you know

37:44 Speaker 5: everybody else. Sure, I'll see you on the next flight.

37:47 Speaker 5: All right, Cool, we get it done. You see what

37:49 Speaker 5: I'm saying, we wanted back to the way back it was.

37:51 Speaker 5: It was much more or easier back in the day

37:53 Speaker 5: than what it is today.

37:54 Speaker 1: Right right, Well, Ozzie might not show up, though I

37:57 Speaker 1: wouldn't depend on him.

37:58 Speaker 3: I mean, well, I mean I guess if he's if

38:01 Speaker 3: he's still having that ant addiction, right.

38:05 Speaker 1: Dirt.

38:05 Speaker 3: Yeah, I love the dirt. Jenny and I watched that.

38:08 Speaker 5: I love that.

38:09 Speaker 3: I love that movie. I fell in love with it.

38:11 Speaker 5: And also, you know, the longest little wristband I ever

38:13 Speaker 5: had was a Moley Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah.

38:16 Speaker 3: For the longest time.

38:17 Speaker 5: So yeah, I mean I'm a big fan of the

38:19 Speaker 5: old I grew up with a band right behind my

38:22 Speaker 5: my grandmother's house.

38:23 Speaker 3: Oh really yeah, so yeah.

38:24 Speaker 5: I mean when I was saying, I would hear them

38:26 Speaker 5: playing everything from clapt Into you know, Disturbed to whatever,

38:30 Speaker 5: like they were just very eglected to what they do.

38:32 Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah.

38:34 Speaker 1: If you are just joining us, we have members of

38:36 Speaker 1: Legion of Solace here with us live in studio on

38:38 Speaker 1: this Saturday morning. It's a very special Saturday. Tonight is

38:41 Speaker 1: Swarmy Fast at Taffia in Lowell, which looks like now

38:45 Speaker 1: have any of you been there already I have, Yes.

38:47 Speaker 3: You have.

38:48 Speaker 1: It looks from what I saw online, it looks like

38:50 Speaker 1: a nice place.

38:51 Speaker 2: It's it's a nice room.

38:52 Speaker 6: It's very it's a very dark room, Okay, I have,

38:56 Speaker 6: in my opinion, has very much an old speakeasy feel

38:59 Speaker 6: to it.

39:00 Speaker 3: Okay.

39:01 Speaker 6: It's kind of a galley down one side where you'll

39:04 Speaker 6: find the entrance, the ticket window, the bar. There's a

39:08 Speaker 6: permanent merch booth as well that'll will probably expand upon

39:11 Speaker 6: for all the bands.

39:12 Speaker 3: Okay.

39:13 Speaker 6: There is a small sitting lounge off in the corner,

39:15 Speaker 6: so if you need to get away from the loud

39:16 Speaker 6: of the stage area itself, there's some comfy chairs in

39:19 Speaker 6: the corner. Yeah, and then you can move into the

39:22 Speaker 6: actual square concert space as well.

39:25 Speaker 3: Okay.

39:25 Speaker 6: But look, look, room looks to hold I'd say just

39:29 Speaker 6: a gas maybe three to six hundred people comfortably.

39:31 Speaker 3: Oh okay, Yeah, so decent sized room. Absolutely is big

39:34 Speaker 3: stage or.

39:36 Speaker 6: Good sized stage, very good sound quality, a very punctual venue,

39:40 Speaker 6: which I like to see some some venues will be

39:44 Speaker 6: like yeah, show goes to eleven two thirty years, still

39:46 Speaker 6: waiting on the headliner. But where this particular venue is located,

39:51 Speaker 6: it's also around a brewing company and it's in a

39:54 Speaker 6: residential district. They're in a high rise complex with some

39:57 Speaker 6: studios and some loft spaces as well, so they to

40:00 Speaker 6: be very conscious of their time.

40:01 Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, I laughed when you said that about the punctuality.

40:05 Speaker 1: And because people in this area around Manchester, probably some

40:11 Speaker 1: people probably remember the bomb Shelter.

40:13 Speaker 3: I don't know if any of.

40:14 Speaker 2: You were, or I have heard stories.

40:15 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and yeah, I I remember. I remember playing

40:19 Speaker 1: there and none of the bands that I were in

40:21 Speaker 1: were headliners so to speak. But I remember going on

40:25 Speaker 1: stage at two a m. And you know, being the

40:27 Speaker 1: only ones left in the room. Yeah, So I appreciate

40:31 Speaker 1: a punctual venue as.

40:34 Speaker 5: Yeah.

40:36 Speaker 1: Yeah, there's there's some There's a lot of stories about

40:38 Speaker 1: the Bomb Shelter and some of them are some of

40:40 Speaker 1: them are good stories and some some not not not

40:43 Speaker 1: that great.

40:43 Speaker 6: But while we're speaking about Swarmy Fest, I just want

40:47 Speaker 6: to take a moment and mention all of the sponsors

40:50 Speaker 6: yes for the event as well. Not only are we

40:52 Speaker 6: the lead sponsor and co host for the event, we

40:55 Speaker 6: thank our family here at Matt Connorton Unleashed for joining

40:57 Speaker 6: us as well as BPS Records Speed Demon Promotions and

41:01 Speaker 6: our friends over it and h Guitars.

41:04 Speaker 5: Okay, big shout out to those guys, especially for me

41:08 Speaker 5: because they actually worked on my guitar for me. They

41:12 Speaker 5: did a great job on it, brought everything back, helped

41:14 Speaker 5: me out with it because I'm not very I guess

41:17 Speaker 5: smart with the whole internal part of the guitar. So

41:21 Speaker 5: I mean, I had to have them check it out.

41:23 Speaker 5: My thing was making my guitars making some weird sound.

41:26 Speaker 5: So he was like, yeah, that's some dirt and it's like,

41:27 Speaker 5: come to find out, you know, it's called dyslexic wiring somebody.

41:31 Speaker 3: The person that I got it from, and it makes sense.

41:34 Speaker 5: The person I got it from it was a little dyslexic,

41:36 Speaker 5: you know, so all the wiring was just like it's

41:41 Speaker 5: backed up. It's like it's still weird, but it still works.

41:43 Speaker 5: So it's just it's just what it is. But so

41:46 Speaker 5: I mean, big shout out to Guitars, thank you for

41:48 Speaker 5: looking out for me. Guys did an amazing job. We

41:51 Speaker 5: will be also doing a write up about our experience

41:54 Speaker 5: with going to go see the Spot of Guitars. I mean,

41:56 Speaker 5: it just made me feel like you're a part of

41:57 Speaker 5: the family the moment that you walk in. So it's amazing.

42:00 Speaker 5: Big shout out to those guys.

42:01 Speaker 3: And we met them at a show. Was it was

42:18 Speaker 1: The first two was a yeah, might might have been, Yeah,

42:22 Speaker 1: might have been.

42:23 Speaker 3: And that's what we love.

42:24 Speaker 5: That's saying that being able to show that you can

42:26 Speaker 5: come around and work with anybody who is locally doing

42:28 Speaker 5: something like this like Stepsis, like you know, uh, everybody

42:33 Speaker 5: in the sponsorship as well as the venue itself. Yeah,

42:37 Speaker 5: and we see how we all you could all work

42:39 Speaker 5: together and still make them an amazing show and have

42:41 Speaker 5: fun and not be so stressed out of pay to

42:43 Speaker 5: play being on somebody else's time, like strict time was

42:47 Speaker 5: being like going to Blue Ridge like with us, literally

42:50 Speaker 5: we there was there was no venturing around, you know,

46:02 Speaker 5: we try to put ourselves out there as much as

46:04 Speaker 5: far and as deep as we can't into the news community.

46:06 Speaker 5: Let people know, like we have a spot straight strictly

46:09 Speaker 5: for local and up and coming talent. Well, you don't

46:13 Speaker 5: have to go fight through it. You don't have to.

46:14 Speaker 5: If you don't want to upload it on YouTube, you

46:16 Speaker 5: want to play it strictly through us, you can do

46:38 Speaker 5: to deal with in general, But why not you know

46:41 Speaker 5: what I'm saying, It's worth it if you know that

46:44 Speaker 5: you can make it that much better for somebody's dreams

46:46 Speaker 5: to come true, whether that dream just be one hundred

46:49 Speaker 5: thousand people hear my music, you know, even if it
