5:31 Speaker 1: All right, Sorry, Sherman, you're in you're in the microphone

5:34 Speaker 1: that we don't we'll use that one if we need

5:36 Speaker 1: an extra mic. And but we did get it plugged in,

5:38 Speaker 1: so we got that much figured out.

5:40 Speaker 2: Always the drummer, it's always the drummer.

5:42 Speaker 1: Yeah, So yeah, so, guys, welcome to the show. Jenny

5:48 Speaker 1: and I saw you live at Swarmyfest. Oh okay, yep, yep,

5:53 Speaker 1: that was and and I'll tell you I so, I

5:57 Speaker 1: had not heard Lone Wolf James prior to that, and

6:00 Speaker 1: I saw you on the schedule because we were there.

6:03 Speaker 1: We were there as a sponsors and representing the radio show.

6:07 Speaker 1: And I remember saying to Jenny after or during your set,

6:13 Speaker 1: I said, they sound like a band named Lone Wolf James,

6:18 Speaker 1: Like like you sounded like I expected you to sound

6:20 Speaker 1: based on the name. And please take that as a

6:22 Speaker 1: compliment because I think the name is really cool and

6:24 Speaker 1: I really like your sound. But yeah, so have you

6:28 Speaker 1: guys been around a while? Has the band been around

6:30 Speaker 1: for a long time? That's my impression that I actually

6:32 Speaker 1: I started it years ago and I was like playing

6:37 Speaker 1: acoustic on a stool doing open mic. Oh really yeah yeah,

6:40 Speaker 1: And that's how it all started.

6:41 Speaker 8: I had left the band and the whole I think

6:44 Speaker 8: Echo told you this before, but when I left the band,

6:47 Speaker 8: I was leaving all the crap behind.

6:49 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah.

6:49 Speaker 8: And the guy went, well, there goes Lone Wolf, and

6:52 Speaker 8: I was like, I'm going to use that. Oh yeah,

6:54 Speaker 8: So I use that my last name, James. I put

6:56 Speaker 8: them together and there was the lone Wolf James. Yeah,

6:58 Speaker 8: and the fact that I'm Partneredive American kind of fit

7:01 Speaker 8: into so I was like, all right, I'm gonna use that.

7:03 Speaker 8: But yeah, So I started it then, and there's been

7:05 Speaker 8: you know, over over the years, you add people and

7:07 Speaker 8: you do this and that. But I was I was

7:08 Speaker 8: trying to find like the right lineup because I was

7:12 Speaker 8: getting to the point where the band is starting to

7:14 Speaker 8: go from regional crossing into the national border, and we'll get.

7:18 Speaker 2: Into that, you know.

7:19 Speaker 8: But as I did it, it was just like, you know,

7:21 Speaker 8: this is this is not the lineup that is gonna

7:24 Speaker 8: do it. So we kind of like just been with

7:26 Speaker 8: me eleven years. So he's like my right hand guy,

7:29 Speaker 8: and and we've all I've known Tim. We've known each

7:32 Speaker 8: other since we were fourteen, you know what I mean.

7:35 Speaker 2: So we were in our very.

7:36 Speaker 8: First band together. I was a drummer back then. Yeah,

7:41 Speaker 8: so it all kind of came together, you know. I

7:42 Speaker 8: would would fight and phone.

7:44 Speaker 2: Calls, you know what I mean, and all kind of felt.

7:46 Speaker 8: Jeff and Sherman had gone and tried out for the

7:49 Speaker 8: same band at one time, and then they were both

7:51 Speaker 8: like and nope, but they were friends. And then when

7:54 Speaker 8: I told Jeff that I was going to have Sherman

7:57 Speaker 8: come in audition, He's like, hire that guy, you know

8:00 Speaker 8: and whatever. So it was just like it was kind

8:02 Speaker 8: of it was faded. Yeah, but this particular lineup now

8:05 Speaker 8: has been You've been a couple of years now, right,

8:08 Speaker 8: and uh, we've were's like gone from the local to

8:12 Speaker 8: the regional and now we're tipping our hat into the national.

8:15 Speaker 8: We're playing with all national bands. Yeah yeah, because of

8:19 Speaker 8: certain deals and connections and stuff.

8:21 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, So is the band I mean, are

8:24 Speaker 1: you the only original member technically.

8:26 Speaker 2: Or yes, from the original a yeah, because it started

8:29 Speaker 2: with me. Yeah, and like my.

8:31 Speaker 8: First record, my first two first records were acoustic and

8:34 Speaker 8: I added like drums and stuff to it. But I mean,

8:36 Speaker 8: the first couple of EPs are sold out, so that

8:40 Speaker 8: one that you played cradle off of is actually my

8:42 Speaker 8: was like the second full album, and that's the only

8:45 Speaker 8: one still available really other other than you know, I

8:47 Speaker 8: have like a few of the one before that. But

8:50 Speaker 8: but we've I've been in the studio for the last

8:52 Speaker 8: couple of years now recording this new EP with the

8:55 Speaker 8: guy from that works for Sony and Capital and.

8:58 Speaker 1: Oh very nice.

8:59 Speaker 8: And you know everybody has except for Sherman because it

9:03 Speaker 8: happened right before he joined the band. But yeah, but

9:06 Speaker 8: so he's the only one doesn't have to get yelled

9:07 Speaker 8: at in the studio, right, But other than that, yeah,

9:11 Speaker 8: I mean it all everybody here is.

9:13 Speaker 2: The long Wold James.

9:14 Speaker 8: Well, everybody brings something to the table, but it's it's

9:17 Speaker 8: like you have to have the head of the the

9:20 Speaker 8: the artpus so of course just kind of that, but yeah,

9:23 Speaker 8: I have to do the like the business part of

9:25 Speaker 8: it too. Yeah, you know, I take care of like

9:27 Speaker 8: the contracts and that kind of stuff. And then as

9:30 Speaker 8: far as like the songwriting goes. You know, I come

9:33 Speaker 8: up with an idea and I go, I like this,

9:35 Speaker 8: and I sometimes I just go to his house and say, hey,

9:38 Speaker 8: this is what I got. Yeah, and he'll go, let's

9:40 Speaker 8: do this or whatever, you know, or I just bring

9:42 Speaker 8: it to the table and go, okay, this is like

9:44 Speaker 8: here's the pizza dough at the topping right right, And

9:47 Speaker 8: everybody kind of puts in their stuff and then you know,

9:50 Speaker 8: you get ideas as it goes.

9:52 Speaker 1: But you know, is the original material that you did.

9:54 Speaker 1: Is that available online?

9:56 Speaker 3: Some of it?

9:57 Speaker 2: I mean, I think you had to like have been around.

10:00 Speaker 8: I released the first EP in two thousand, okay, so

10:04 Speaker 8: it was twenty five years ago.

10:05 Speaker 2: I mean, I was just just coming out, just you know,

10:08 Speaker 2: just getting out of like.

10:09 Speaker 8: The cover band situation and a couple of a couple

10:11 Speaker 8: of local bands that weren't doing anything but garage, you know,

10:14 Speaker 8: local maybe you know, once in a while a rock

10:17 Speaker 8: pile or something, sure, sure, but other than that, it

10:20 Speaker 8: was and I just wanted to get serious.

10:22 Speaker 2: And they were all about drugs and and I was

10:24 Speaker 2: just like, I'm done with this, you know. And and

10:26 Speaker 2: that's why he was.

10:27 Speaker 8: He was trying to chafe me by saying, oh, that

10:30 Speaker 8: goes lone Wolf, like I'm gonna go off of my

10:31 Speaker 8: and I was like, you know what, I'm gonna use that.

10:33 Speaker 1: That's you know, that's pretty cool, you know that. You know,

10:37 Speaker 1: somebody threw that at you, trying to insult you, and

10:39 Speaker 1: you you took that and said, oh yeah.

10:41 Speaker 8: And now they're going, oh Jesus, guys are playing with

10:43 Speaker 8: this guys and these guys and he's really.

10:45 Speaker 2: And you know, and the like, yeah, who's laughing now?

10:47 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know.

10:48 Speaker 8: Yeah, but that's that's really the way, and it's it's

10:50 Speaker 8: it's about the hard work that you put in and stuff,

10:52 Speaker 8: and it's about the loyalty too, you know, Like these

10:55 Speaker 8: guys have played some I don't know, I'm surprised they

10:59 Speaker 8: didn't and all you crazy, right, you know, but some

11:02 Speaker 8: of the places that we've done and some of the things.

11:04 Speaker 8: Sherman's first gig with us was in this It was

11:07 Speaker 8: a it was a biker fast thing, but it was

11:10 Speaker 8: in somebody's yard and it was all it rained so bad,

11:14 Speaker 8: it was like mudfest two thousand and nine.

11:17 Speaker 2: I was like, oh my god. And he pulled in.

11:22 Speaker 8: and whatever and uh and we you know, we go

11:23 Speaker 8: from those to what we're doing now. Yeah, yeah, you know,

11:28 Speaker 8: very cool.

11:29 Speaker 1: Yeah. I saw pictures that you mentioned Ace Frehley, and

11:31 Speaker 1: I saw pictures of you guys online with Ace. Kiss

11:34 Speaker 1: is my favorite band, So I saw those. I was like, oh,

11:36 Speaker 1: that's pretty cool.

11:37 Speaker 2: He was awesome, was he?

11:39 Speaker 1: Yeah, I've heard I've heard yeah, day to attend, Who've Jeff?

11:44 Speaker 1: Yeah you know Jeff, Yeah, oh yeah, those guys are

11:46 Speaker 1: great and uh yeah they played with a set the Aura,

11:50 Speaker 1: I think in Portland, but I heard that Ace went on.

11:54 Speaker 1: I haven't seen Ace solo live for a very long time,

11:57 Speaker 1: but I've heard they went on that He went on

11:59 Speaker 1: very very late really that night. Yeah, I know, I

12:01 Speaker 1: guess it's kind of but your experience with him was positive.

12:03 Speaker 2: Yeah. And the funny thing is, and this, I love

12:05 Speaker 2: days to attend. They're great guys.

12:07 Speaker 1: Oh yeah.

12:07 Speaker 8: We were supposed to play that show and I had

12:09 Speaker 8: prior engagement, so I turned it down. And then I

12:12 Speaker 8: found out that they got the opening slots. I was like,

12:14 Speaker 8: oh great, Yeah, that's great for them. And the manager

12:18 Speaker 8: of Ace called my agent and came back and said,

12:22 Speaker 8: can they play the Blue Ocean since they can't.

12:24 Speaker 1: Do the Ore?

12:25 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, And I was like, yeah, we can do that.

12:27 Speaker 2: But no, we didn't have any any any at all.

12:29 Speaker 8: In fact, that's you know, we had played with some

12:32 Speaker 8: other nationals, big nationals before that, and we didn't really

12:35 Speaker 8: get them. With the exception of like a couple, we

12:37 Speaker 8: didn't really get to meet anybody, all kind of hid

12:40 Speaker 8: away in the so I never went into it thinking

12:43 Speaker 8: we were going to meet Ace, you know. And we

12:46 Speaker 8: did our show and the and the crowd loved us.

12:48 Speaker 8: And it was a line at our echoes booth, you

12:51 Speaker 8: know for the merch and all that stuff, and uh,

12:53 Speaker 8: the guy come. We're doing our meet and greet because

12:55 Speaker 8: we do what every show, signing autographs and you know,

12:59 Speaker 8: take a pictures some stuff. And one of the guys

13:01 Speaker 8: that owns the Blue Ocean came running up to me.

13:04 Speaker 8: He looked kind of frazzled, really, and he's like, is

13:06 Speaker 8: your whole band here? And I'm like yeah, I'm like

13:09 Speaker 8: they're over there doing the met and greets.

13:11 Speaker 3: Right.

13:11 Speaker 1: Yeah.

13:11 Speaker 2: He's like, okay, you gotta come out back. Ace wants

13:13 Speaker 2: to see you.

13:14 Speaker 8: So now I'm thinking, yeah, well, I didn't know if

13:16 Speaker 8: it was nice or he was gonna rip us. I

13:19 Speaker 8: didn't know if we did something wrong.

13:20 Speaker 2: So I was like, uh sure, So I go on

13:22 Speaker 2: and grab the guys and I'm like, let's just go

13:25 Speaker 2: out back.

13:26 Speaker 1: Yeah.

13:26 Speaker 2: We passed all these VIP guys, you know, people with

13:29 Speaker 2: VIP passes and stuff.

13:31 Speaker 8: I still don't know what's going on. And then we

13:33 Speaker 8: get to the wall and he goes, you know, hold on,

13:36 Speaker 8: I'm going to take a picture of you. So I'm thinking, oh,

13:38 Speaker 8: maybe Ace takes a picture of all the opening acts

13:40 Speaker 8: and he gets you know, for whatever reason.

13:42 Speaker 1: Yeah.

13:43 Speaker 8: So I'm still thinking this is why we're back here.

13:45 Speaker 8: And then this door opens and here he comes at

13:48 Speaker 8: six foot five or whatever.

13:49 Speaker 2: He's huge. He's so tall.

13:51 Speaker 1: Guy, he is he must have been wearing he was

13:53 Speaker 1: wearing cowboy budes. Really, yeah, because I noticed in the

13:57 Speaker 1: pictures he's towering over you guys, and I'm like, this,

13:59 Speaker 1: isn't that tall?

14:00 Speaker 9: Yeah?

14:00 Speaker 8: He is five eight, you know, so he but he

14:04 Speaker 8: came out, shook our hands, said you know, he loved

14:07 Speaker 8: what we played and thanked us. We thanked him, and

14:09 Speaker 8: he put his arms around us, took some pictures. Yeah,

14:11 Speaker 8: and then we went back to the things. So we

14:12 Speaker 8: weren't expecting that. Yeah, you know, so that was very

14:15 Speaker 8: cool of him, that is, you know, that's extremely cool.

14:17 Speaker 9: Yeah.

14:18 Speaker 1: Yeah, who else have you? Who else have you opened for.

14:22 Speaker 8: As far as far as legends, Like, I, uh was

14:26 Speaker 8: it with this present lineup?

14:27 Speaker 2: But I did ZZ Top and Skinned on the same bill.

14:31 Speaker 8: Yeah, but we've done everything from It's funny because we're

14:34 Speaker 8: my agent now. The one thing he loves about us

14:37 Speaker 8: is he can put us in any category from seventies

14:40 Speaker 8: to the two thousands to whatever. So yeah, we have

14:43 Speaker 8: literally done like eighties bands where we're playing with like

14:47 Speaker 8: enough's enough. We've played with Jackal, I've done Cinderella, you know,

14:51 Speaker 8: Faster pussy Cat. Then you turn around and they put

14:53 Speaker 8: us with all the Bridge, Theory of a Dead Man,

14:55 Speaker 8: Blackstone Cherry, Yep, you know, Buck Cherry, all these other bands,

14:59 Speaker 8: and then you go to bands like Edema and head

15:03 Speaker 8: Pe and you know when we played with Saliva and

15:06 Speaker 8: so Powerman five thousand is coming up, you know what

15:08 Speaker 8: I mean. So he loves the fact that he yeah,

15:11 Speaker 8: we did with Lynch Bomb. So it's like nice, we

15:13 Speaker 8: have all these different He loves the fact that we

15:15 Speaker 8: don't have to just go hey, it can only put

15:17 Speaker 8: you guys with this type of music, like we have

15:19 Speaker 8: done everything from the seventies, eighties, nineties and thousands, you know.

15:24 Speaker 8: And the good thing about that is he's just like, well,

15:26 Speaker 8: your branch of music can go from a twenty five

15:30 Speaker 8: year old to a seventy five year old, you know

15:32 Speaker 8: what I mean, So you have a fifty year gap,

15:33 Speaker 8: which a lot of bands don't have, and especially for

15:36 Speaker 8: a younger act like us. You know, these bands that

15:39 Speaker 8: we're playing with are all fifteen twenty years older than

15:41 Speaker 8: we are. So it's kind of like, well, we kind

15:45 Speaker 8: of got into a niche where it fit for us. Yeah,

15:47 Speaker 8: you know, but a lot a lot of those bands.

15:49 Speaker 8: I mean we've we've done a lot of nationals, from

15:53 Speaker 8: lower nationals that like the like you know, something that

15:56 Speaker 8: was around in the eighties, to legends like Case.

16:00 Speaker 1: Yeah that's fantastic.

16:02 Speaker 9: Yeah.

16:03 Speaker 1: Have you in terms of I mean, do you get

16:06 Speaker 1: out of New England to watch for those kind of shows?

16:08 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I did a couple of stints myself

16:10 Speaker 2: in Nashville. Nice.

16:12 Speaker 8: Yeah, I think I played the Bluebird and stuff like that.

16:14 Speaker 8: But the band right now, the core of us is

16:17 Speaker 8: I mean usually I hate to say it, but it

16:19 Speaker 8: usually comes down to money and things like that. And

16:21 Speaker 8: I mean everybody here has got you know, I'm the

16:24 Speaker 8: only one that's really not married, you know what I mean. Yeah,

16:27 Speaker 8: So it's just kind of like one of those type

16:29 Speaker 8: of deals. So I what I do is I keep

16:30 Speaker 8: it enough for everybody to go. Look, I made a

16:34 Speaker 8: deal with them and I said we'll start We'll go

16:38 Speaker 8: from Maine to Jersey. Yeah, you know, and I go

16:41 Speaker 8: and anything past that, I mean, obviously I'll give plenty

16:44 Speaker 8: of notice and all that stuff, but this way, everything's

16:46 Speaker 8: a day away, you know, a few.

16:48 Speaker 1: Hours that makes sense, you know.

16:49 Speaker 2: That way, it's like, okay, you know.

16:51 Speaker 8: If we're playing I'm telling you in two months, we're

16:53 Speaker 8: playing four shows and we're going from Maine to Rhode

16:55 Speaker 8: Island at Connecticut, the to Jersey to back to I mean,

16:59 Speaker 8: then no, you know what I mean, and they can

17:00 Speaker 8: put in for and in that way, it's not like

17:02 Speaker 8: I'm calling them, Hey, we're leaving for New York tomorrow, right,

17:05 Speaker 8: you know, so we kind of you kind of have

17:08 Speaker 8: to deal with the pros and cons of it. But

17:11 Speaker 8: if I want the lineup that we got, you know,

17:14 Speaker 8: and which I don't want them stuck sticking me with

17:17 Speaker 8: people that I don't know, you know, so it's just

17:19 Speaker 8: kind of like, all right, this is what we'll do

17:21 Speaker 8: and and be honest with you until the gigs are

17:24 Speaker 8: worth going past that it's it's you know what I mean, like,

17:28 Speaker 8: unless they're gonna give me a lot of money to

17:30 Speaker 8: go play for somebody that's in California, I mean, we'd.

17:34 Speaker 2: Love to go play the Whiskey, but how are we

17:35 Speaker 2: going to do it, you know.

17:37 Speaker 8: You know, I'm not spending seven grand to get to California,

17:40 Speaker 8: you know. So, I mean he's asked us, the guy

17:44 Speaker 8: that books the whiskey's asked because twice.

17:46 Speaker 2: All right, yeah, so I just it's all in time. Yeah,

17:51 Speaker 2: it'll happen.

17:51 Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, it's just gonna be when it's a

17:53 Speaker 8: little bit more efficient to everybody, you know.

17:56 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm curious to if anybody has any other projects

18:01 Speaker 1: that you're involved in, because I'm thinking of you Sherman specifically,

18:04 Speaker 1: because every drummer that we have on the show, almost

18:07 Speaker 1: every drummer, although Space Casino our guests in the last

18:10 Speaker 1: hour were a rare exception, but almost every drummer we

18:12 Speaker 1: have on the show is in like ten different bands.

18:15 Speaker 7: Nope, I I spend all my time strictly with these guys.

18:19 Speaker 1: No kidding, that's awesome. Well it's cool that you know.

18:22 Speaker 1: I mean, you guys play enough that, you know, to

18:24 Speaker 1: keep you busy.

18:25 Speaker 10: Right Yeah.

18:27 Speaker 5: One of the things that you know, I dabble in recording,

18:29 Speaker 5: and because I don't have my studio set up right now.

18:32 Speaker 5: We moved here from Houston, and once I get my

18:36 Speaker 5: studio set up, then we can start recording our stuff

18:39 Speaker 5: right now, I'm just recording our rehearsals. Okay, so we

18:43 Speaker 5: kind of flushed things out and yeah, it's kind of

18:45 Speaker 5: experiment there.

18:46 Speaker 1: Yeah.

18:46 Speaker 5: But but as far as you know, I'm not opposed

18:51 Speaker 5: to getting involved with a recording project. Yeah, but performing no, Okay,

18:57 Speaker 5: because I've and I've been approached a few times.

18:59 Speaker 7: Yeah, just I tell them, you know, Okay, but you

19:02 Speaker 7: know my priorities with Lone Wolf James.

19:05 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, so that's even on my my band Mixed

19:09 Speaker 5: Photo is Yeah, Yeah, that's cool.

19:11 Speaker 7: I'm the drummer for Lone Wolf James. Yeah, this was

19:14 Speaker 7: my first priority.

19:15 Speaker 1: I have a I have a theory that you know,

19:17 Speaker 1: when you're when you're growing up and you first get

19:18 Speaker 1: interested in playing a musical instrument, you got to have

19:20 Speaker 1: the conversation with the parents. If you approach them with

19:23 Speaker 1: either the drums or maybe the tuba, they're they're trying

19:27 Speaker 1: to talk you out of it. And that's why drummers

19:29 Speaker 1: are in such high demand, I think, because a lot

19:31 Speaker 1: of parents try to talk their kids out of Now,

19:33 Speaker 1: you don't want to play My.

19:34 Speaker 2: Parents, man, they had the trumpet and then the drums.

19:38 Speaker 4: Because you.

19:40 Speaker 1: Were a drummer. First, yeah, wow, but oh boy, you

19:44 Speaker 1: played the trumpet.

19:45 Speaker 2: It started off. We ain't even getting into that story.

19:48 Speaker 2: Go ahead, and Truman keep talking.

19:49 Speaker 7: About that's funny. I started on the vio did you.

19:53 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Oh that's cool. That's cool. Now, how many

19:58 Speaker 1: how many songs do you have as a band, because

20:00 Speaker 1: you've got you've got one full length album, right, but

20:04 Speaker 1: you've got others have two full length albums, two full length.

20:06 Speaker 2: And there's two before that, there's three EPs.

20:10 Speaker 1: Oh okay, we're a lot of material now.

20:12 Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, but we're we I mean unfortunately, on stage

20:15 Speaker 8: you only get about forty five minutes.

20:16 Speaker 2: So we're taking with Sherman. Now we know probably let's.

20:22 Speaker 8: Say fifteen sixteen songs, okay, and we dabble in twelve

20:25 Speaker 8: of them for the shows.

20:26 Speaker 2: We switched stuff in and out and whatever.

20:29 Speaker 8: But as a unit, like they're still Like the other day,

20:32 Speaker 8: we were bringing up songs that I hadn't played in

20:34 Speaker 8: fifteen years, you know, and they were just like, hey,

20:37 Speaker 8: you know, what if what if we do this? You know,

20:39 Speaker 8: and or hey I haven't heard that one or whatever.

20:41 Speaker 8: So my old stuff is still brand new to them.

20:44 Speaker 8: It's like saying, I came in with a new record, right, So,

20:46 Speaker 8: and the good thing is is, like I said, the

20:48 Speaker 8: first couple were acoustics. They were drums and stuff, but

20:51 Speaker 8: there were acoustic versions of the songs. Yeah, So to

20:54 Speaker 8: bring it in with a massive band and have that

20:56 Speaker 8: full band sound now, I mean when I traded my

20:59 Speaker 8: acoustic in for a marginal and Les Paul, I was like, Okay,

21:02 Speaker 8: this is serious. We're moving forward. And and then you

21:06 Speaker 8: add everybody and the next thing, you know, it's like, gee,

21:08 Speaker 8: what would this like. Guess there's a song that we're

21:10 Speaker 8: doing now that I want to record that I only

21:12 Speaker 8: have an acoustic version of and we do play it

21:14 Speaker 8: once in a while called Native Groove, and it's one

21:16 Speaker 8: of my favorites. And that was strictly mean acoustic with

21:20 Speaker 8: some drums and a little bass.

21:22 Speaker 2: That's all it was. It was. It was big sounded,

21:25 Speaker 2: you know, and I was like, man, imagine what this

21:26 Speaker 2: would sound like with a band.

21:28 Speaker 8: So we brought it in and now you add Sherman,

21:31 Speaker 8: you had Jeff, you know, and you had Tim with

21:34 Speaker 8: my guitar, and it's like, wow, this is just like

21:36 Speaker 8: a wall of sound, you know. So this is that's

21:39 Speaker 8: one of the first tracks I want to record after

21:41 Speaker 8: we'd get done with this one, you know, like when

21:44 Speaker 8: they come to us.

21:45 Speaker 2: And say, hey, I need more material, you bet write

21:48 Speaker 2: in the studio. Because we got a couple of songs

21:49 Speaker 2: written that we want to do, and that's high on

21:52 Speaker 2: my list.

21:53 Speaker 1: I mean, it's good to have things that are ready

21:55 Speaker 1: to ready to work on, you know, you know, uh,

21:59 Speaker 1: trying to come up with that, you know.

22:00 Speaker 8: And we've written some new ones, like there's a song

22:02 Speaker 8: that we're dabbling on right now that Jeff and I

22:04 Speaker 8: kind of we're trying to put together. And then it

22:07 Speaker 8: was called Showtime, and and another one I want to

22:10 Speaker 8: Be Bad, we wrote. I wanted to do like an

22:12 Speaker 8: a c DC bass groove, like like the Jack, you know,

22:17 Speaker 8: and I kind of wanted to do something like that

22:18 Speaker 8: where it's all like sexual talking instead of singing and

22:22 Speaker 8: it's and I said, but I needed this certain.

22:24 Speaker 1: So I went.

22:24 Speaker 8: I went to his house and he's like, what do

22:26 Speaker 8: you want me to play? And I'm like, just go

22:27 Speaker 8: bom bom, think of like running with the Devil, you

22:30 Speaker 8: know what I mean, you know, like type type thing,

22:32 Speaker 8: and he did that, and uh, we kind of put

22:34 Speaker 8: this stuff in together and Tim came in is like,

22:36 Speaker 8: you know, what'd be great there some of this wah

22:38 Speaker 8: guitar and all that stuff. And then you know, Sherman's

22:41 Speaker 8: just looking at us. I'm like, just play a beat.

22:43 Speaker 3: You know.

22:45 Speaker 2: He finitely gets in figure out what he wants to do.

22:47 Speaker 8: But they came together and I was like wow, and

22:49 Speaker 8: then we were actually going to play that on these

22:50 Speaker 8: upcoming shows.

22:52 Speaker 1: Very cool.

22:52 Speaker 2: I want to be bad. It's going to be played

22:54 Speaker 2: on those.

22:54 Speaker 1: So, yeah, you've got enoughs enough coming up. You said

22:57 Speaker 1: you're gonna be opening for them.

22:59 Speaker 8: Yes, yeah, yeah, we're doing a tour leg of a

23:01 Speaker 8: tour with them, you are, Yeah, we're doing it doing

23:05 Speaker 8: I think it's Manchester, Connecticut and Rhode Island.

23:08 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, we're doing three nights in a row with them, Okay.

23:11 Speaker 1: In June, I always said they were underrated. Fly High, Michelle,

23:14 Speaker 1: I think is such a great song. And it's one

23:16 Speaker 1: of those songs you mentioned it to people now and

23:18 Speaker 1: they don't even remember it.

23:18 Speaker 4: You know.

23:19 Speaker 8: It's funny toocause Chip is singing. I think now I

23:21 Speaker 8: don't think it's the it's the original singer anymore. I

23:24 Speaker 8: think Chip's enough to the bass player. Yeah, I think

23:27 Speaker 8: he's the original member obviously, but I think I think

23:29 Speaker 8: I could be wrong, but I think he's singing. Oh okay, yeah,

23:33 Speaker 8: I think he's a singer, but he kept the name.

23:35 Speaker 1: Okay, but you mentioned lynch Mob too, You open for

23:37 Speaker 1: lynch Mob.

23:38 Speaker 2: Yeah, we're done down to Webster.

23:40 Speaker 1: Oh that must have been cool. Yeah, that first Lynch

23:43 Speaker 1: Mob album. Again, this is no one, no one even remembers,

23:46 Speaker 1: but Wicked Sensation. Yeah, this is one of my that

23:49 Speaker 1: would be in my top ten all time, just so

23:53 Speaker 1: so good.

23:53 Speaker 8: Well, it was funny because this was this is where

23:55 Speaker 8: I bring Tim in for that show. Yeah, because I

23:58 Speaker 8: you know, George Lynch. Hello, Yeah, he's a league guitar player,

24:01 Speaker 8: So I told I kept busting his chops. I kept saying,

24:04 Speaker 8: do you realize in the same month you have to

24:05 Speaker 8: open for for you know, for basically George Lynch, and

24:08 Speaker 8: a's freely and he's just.

24:10 Speaker 2: Like, shut up. So we were going over playing.

24:14 Speaker 8: We did our set and we played Linch and then

24:16 Speaker 8: Tim and I are on the side of the stage

24:18 Speaker 8: and George Lynch is right there and he's just playing,

24:21 Speaker 8: and I look over at Tim and he's just looking

24:22 Speaker 8: up at Georgie looks at me. He's got this like

24:24 Speaker 8: kid a Christmas look, So I'll let him take it.

24:30 Speaker 6: He even gave me a little nod because like I

24:33 Speaker 6: tried to squeeze in just a little piece of mister,

24:36 Speaker 6: but I didn't think he noticed. But he barely looked

24:40 Speaker 6: at me. Off stage, but I was side stage and

24:42 Speaker 6: he turned around and he did like a little rift

24:45 Speaker 6: that I do.

24:46 Speaker 1: No kidding, And then I was like, cool, what was

24:52 Speaker 1: he all buff? Too? Was his big body building phase?

24:56 Speaker 3: Yeah?

24:56 Speaker 2: He wasn't like that super buff?

24:58 Speaker 4: Yeah?

24:59 Speaker 6: Really yeah, concentrating all the time.

25:01 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so but you've got enough enough coming up.

25:04 Speaker 1: But what was yeah, there was there was another.

25:06 Speaker 2: One power Man five thousands coming. Yeah.

25:09 Speaker 8: We got a leg of a tour with them, and

25:11 Speaker 8: it's it's them and head Pe and things like that,

25:14 Speaker 8: and we just got off the road head Pe because

25:16 Speaker 8: they were on the Saliva leg that we did.

25:18 Speaker 2: We did a Saliva and you know Josie Scott.

25:22 Speaker 1: And what about what are we doing Nazareth?

25:25 Speaker 2: Oh Nazareth.

25:26 Speaker 1: Yeah that's a big.

25:30 Speaker 2: H So that's what I mean.

25:33 Speaker 8: They got legends like Ace and Nazareth and then we

25:35 Speaker 8: have you know, the power Man five thousands the Saliva's

25:39 Speaker 8: you know. You know, we're trying to get hooked up

25:43 Speaker 8: with a couple of things that you know, I really

25:45 Speaker 8: I can't say any of who they are yet because

25:48 Speaker 8: until the ink as dry as they say. But I

25:51 Speaker 8: think this summer, later in the summer, we're gonna get

25:54 Speaker 8: some bigger you know. The whole point if it was

25:57 Speaker 8: to try to get in with a lot of these

25:58 Speaker 8: bands that and in order. What people don't get is

26:01 Speaker 8: like the management companies and the agents.

26:04 Speaker 2: Are all interacting.

26:06 Speaker 8: So if you're playing with this band, they're the same

26:08 Speaker 8: agent as this band, and you ain't gonna play with

26:10 Speaker 8: that band? Do you play with this band? You know,

26:12 Speaker 8: like the or this venue without that venue and that

26:15 Speaker 8: kind of stuff.

26:16 Speaker 2: So the right now the contracts I'm doing the bands.

26:20 Speaker 8: It's great because you get to have a colectic of

26:23 Speaker 8: all these Like we opened the first tour we did

26:25 Speaker 8: was Tantric. Okay, I only knew one song from Tantric. Yeah,

26:29 Speaker 8: you know, and now they're like the coolest guys, you

26:31 Speaker 8: know what I mean.

26:32 Speaker 2: Like we hung out every night all weekend. We hung

26:35 Speaker 2: out with them every night backstage or real good to us,

26:38 Speaker 2: you know.

26:39 Speaker 8: In fact, Hugo even approached me about, you know, maybe

26:42 Speaker 8: producing one of my next songs or something like that.

26:45 Speaker 9: OK.

26:45 Speaker 8: So we'll see what happens with that. But but you know,

26:48 Speaker 8: in general, they were just cool guys. Yeah, they were

26:50 Speaker 8: really you know, we were and we're looking forward to

26:52 Speaker 8: to tour with them again.

26:53 Speaker 2: But we did that tour.

26:54 Speaker 8: I didn't know who they were other than you know,

26:57 Speaker 8: that one song or whatever. But but then it came

26:59 Speaker 8: out and you're like, wow, these are really good.

27:00 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, they had a few hits. Yeah, Morning

27:03 Speaker 1: was the big ballad, which I really like that song.

27:06 Speaker 1: I can't remember what else, but.

27:08 Speaker 2: No breakdown was that breakthrough breakdown?

27:10 Speaker 1: Yeah, but there was.

27:12 Speaker 8: But I mean, you know, it's it's so rare that

27:14 Speaker 8: you see because there's always an interconnection to like a

27:17 Speaker 8: lot of people don't know that who goes connected into

27:20 Speaker 8: the Betton Court family, you know and all that. So

27:22 Speaker 8: and it's funny because I knew all those guys, so

27:25 Speaker 8: it was kind of like, oh, okay, so we kind

27:27 Speaker 8: of know the thame like, we're going we're going to

27:28 Speaker 8: play a local show. We're not doing too many local shows, yeah,

27:31 Speaker 8: and we're playing a local show at the Raven, which

27:34 Speaker 8: is Chris Betton, Courts Club, who's Nudo's cousins.

27:37 Speaker 2: No brother, It's all connected, you know what I mean,

27:40 Speaker 2: It's all connected. So yeah, it's you just have you

27:44 Speaker 2: make the right friends, right places.

27:46 Speaker 4: You know.

27:46 Speaker 1: I'm curious because a lot of you know, a lot

27:48 Speaker 1: of music industry people listen to the show. Do you

27:51 Speaker 1: do you enjoy the business side of it? It seems

27:54 Speaker 1: like you do the way that you talk about it.

27:56 Speaker 1: But I know, but but maybe not the truth. I mean,

28:02 Speaker 1: I know, I mean, obviously you'd rather not have to

28:05 Speaker 1: do that part and focus on the creative part. I know,

28:08 Speaker 1: But but it seems like you or you or you

28:10 Speaker 1: seem like you understand the business part of it at least,

28:12 Speaker 1: which is puts you ahead of a lot of musicians.

28:15 Speaker 8: Used to be very overwhelming y now it makes you

28:19 Speaker 8: kind of a hole. But you have to be because

28:22 Speaker 8: if you're not, they're gonna walk all over you.

28:25 Speaker 1: You know, absolutely, So like.

28:27 Speaker 8: The biggest thing I do, Like a lot of people like, oh,

28:29 Speaker 8: you know Loan James, he named the band after him

28:31 Speaker 8: and he's a singer. Yeah, I wish that was the case.

28:33 Speaker 8: That would be so much easier, right, But it's like,

28:36 Speaker 8: but I tell people all the time, and I say

28:38 Speaker 8: this to even these guys, and it's not a downshoot

28:40 Speaker 8: because I love them. Yeah, I said this is you

28:43 Speaker 8: guys are part of it, and you get to walk

28:45 Speaker 8: away and go home.

28:46 Speaker 1: Right.

28:47 Speaker 8: I don't get to lead Lone Wolf James because I

28:48 Speaker 8: am him. Right, So while everybody else is doing whatever

28:52 Speaker 8: they're doing, I'm handling contracts and phone calls and you know,

28:55 Speaker 8: and all this venue change this or this guy's been

28:58 Speaker 8: like we just we were supposed to play with La

29:00 Speaker 8: Guns right here in Manchester in October and because they

29:04 Speaker 8: played the Tupelo last night, which Tim went to, you know,

29:08 Speaker 8: you know when they went last night, I didn't even know. Yeah,

29:13 Speaker 8: they pulled the show I was already contracted for. So

29:17 Speaker 8: it's kind of like one of those like okay, well

29:19 Speaker 8: you know, what are you gonna do? You know it

29:21 Speaker 8: has nothing to do with me personally, right, so now

29:23 Speaker 8: I have to wait we do it. But it's like

29:25 Speaker 8: little things like that, or you know, you don't get

29:28 Speaker 8: you get to a you have everything in your contract

29:31 Speaker 8: about a venue and you get to the venue and

29:33 Speaker 8: there's no place for the band to change or park,

29:36 Speaker 8: and they want you to pay the park, like you

29:37 Speaker 8: want me to pay the.

29:37 Speaker 2: Park I'm playing, you know what I mean.

29:39 Speaker 8: So it's kind of like that's where you go, okay,

29:43 Speaker 8: because only so far you're gonna go, even just yourself,

29:47 Speaker 8: you have to get an agent, you have to get

29:49 Speaker 8: So what I did was I had an agent from

29:51 Speaker 8: years ago, and he hooked us up like Jeff's first

29:55 Speaker 8: show with us, like it was Jackal you know what

29:57 Speaker 8: I mean. He put us right here at Jewels and yeah,

30:02 Speaker 8: and it was like, you know, he booked us with that,

30:05 Speaker 8: and so I knew him for years, and but basically

30:09 Speaker 8: I ended up calling him and saying, how much to

30:11 Speaker 8: hire you want as a consultant just for us, just

30:15 Speaker 8: to do this blah blah blah, because I said, I'm

30:16 Speaker 8: getting calls and I'm doing these things, and I'm like,

30:19 Speaker 8: I need somebody who can haggle for me, that can

30:22 Speaker 8: talk contracts with these people and then gives me the

30:24 Speaker 8: contract so I understand it, you know, without all the

30:28 Speaker 8: bull you know. So that's basically all I did. And

30:31 Speaker 8: then with the fact that I've in the studio recording

30:35 Speaker 8: right now, and the and the producer that is recording

30:38 Speaker 8: us is he was huge. He he did stuff with

30:43 Speaker 8: Ray Charles, you know, Elton John, the Franklin Guns and

30:47 Speaker 8: Roses ac DC. So he yeah, he's he's worked with

30:50 Speaker 8: them all and he's in the studio producing this next record.

30:54 Speaker 8: So he's got us working on a deal, whether it's

30:58 Speaker 8: Sony or whatever. Yea, So hopefully that comes through. But

31:03 Speaker 8: with that happening, you get a buzz. People see who

31:07 Speaker 8: you were recording with, See what's going on. Well, these

31:09 Speaker 8: these guys aren't kidding you know, they're in Like you

31:12 Speaker 8: see the studio on Man, you know, and that kind

31:14 Speaker 8: of stuff, and people are like wow. Then you go

31:17 Speaker 8: from that and you get the right consultant who knows

31:20 Speaker 8: you and knows you're not just talking. And next thing

31:23 Speaker 8: you know, he's like, well, I'll give you a chance

31:25 Speaker 8: like his are are put our toes in the water

31:28 Speaker 8: for him?

31:29 Speaker 2: Was I know you can play a one off. I'm

31:31 Speaker 2: gonna put you on toe with Tan Trick.

31:33 Speaker 8: Yeah, don't disappoint us, you know what I mean, because

31:37 Speaker 8: he's gonna go any booking these guys with Sherman broke

31:42 Speaker 8: his foot right before the tour and he looked at

31:45 Speaker 8: me right after it happened, he goes, do not cancel

31:48 Speaker 8: those shows?

31:49 Speaker 2: Oh wow, yeah, so it.

31:54 Speaker 1: Was my fault. Oh my god, So you have how

31:59 Speaker 1: many show those did you have to play that way?

32:01 Speaker 9: We did?

32:01 Speaker 2: We did three or four of them.

32:03 Speaker 4: Yeah.

32:05 Speaker 5: As a matter of fact, I think I took the

32:06 Speaker 5: boot off when we did Lyunch Mob because we were

32:12 Speaker 5: shooting the video. Because I took the boot off for

32:17 Speaker 5: that seconds. I didn't want to have this gigantic Yeah.

32:20 Speaker 8: We were like the second night in on the Tantric Show.

32:23 Speaker 8: Oh wow, he's back there and he's you know, he's

32:25 Speaker 8: got this big boot and all. And I'm just like,

32:29 Speaker 8: I'm looking back at him on stage and he's playing

32:31 Speaker 8: his heart out right. And then in the Alchemy, we

32:33 Speaker 8: were playing this.

32:34 Speaker 2: Place called the Alchemy is a great, great venue down

32:36 Speaker 2: in Providence, right, and it was pretty packed.

32:39 Speaker 8: I mean it was ocean all the way all the

32:41 Speaker 8: way back for a small club. And I finally look

32:43 Speaker 8: at him and I look at the crowd. I looked

32:44 Speaker 8: back at him and I go and look at this,

32:46 Speaker 8: you know, And I said, whatever I said, And I'm like,

32:48 Speaker 8: and he said, he's played with one leg right the

39:59 Speaker 1: is Lone Wolf James. We've got the guys from Lone

40:02 Speaker 1: Wolf James here in studio with us. If you are

40:05 Speaker 1: listening live, you guys are all uh, you're you're pretty scattered.

40:08 Speaker 1: I know we were talking about it, off are you

40:10 Speaker 1: guys are pretty scattered right in terms of where you

40:12 Speaker 1: all live?

40:13 Speaker 4: Right?

40:13 Speaker 1: Yeah? Does that make it well? Actually though, although I

40:17 Speaker 1: think you had said earlier too, you're playing so many shows,

40:19 Speaker 1: you don't necessarily need to get together for too many rehearsals, right,

40:22 Speaker 1: But but it must make it a little challenging, right,

40:24 Speaker 1: But it shows It shows a level of commitment too

40:27 Speaker 1: that you have that you're able to be be kind

40:29 Speaker 1: of scattered and you know, live far away from each other,

40:32 Speaker 1: but still you know, put in the time to get

40:35 Speaker 1: together and work on the band.

40:36 Speaker 8: Sureman, actually kind of came to the rescue one that

40:38 Speaker 8: one when when I had my studio. My dad died

40:42 Speaker 8: years ago, and I had put built a studio, rehearsal

40:45 Speaker 8: studio downstairs my mom. My mom lived upstairs and I

40:49 Speaker 8: had my studio downstairs, so the band would always just

40:51 Speaker 8: come there, and I was down a mass yeah yeah,

40:53 Speaker 8: And unfortunately this passed Octoba she passed away. So when

40:58 Speaker 8: she passed away, you know, I had to sell her

41:00 Speaker 8: house and all that. Yeah, we were looking around for

41:02 Speaker 8: places to go blah blah, and Sherman was just kind

41:04 Speaker 8: of like, just bring it to my house, Oh okay,

41:06 Speaker 8: And then we went up there and we you know,

41:08 Speaker 8: he has a he has a bunch of gear and studio,

41:11 Speaker 8: so he cleared out one of his rooms at his house.

41:13 Speaker 2: Yeah, and up in Wakefield, so that's where.

41:15 Speaker 1: We rehearsed now, so excellent.

41:17 Speaker 8: And so he kind of came to the rescue on

41:19 Speaker 8: that one because yeah, it's private and we can get there,

41:22 Speaker 8: we can play when we want to, you know. And

41:25 Speaker 8: but yeah, my goal was to keep us so busy.

41:28 Speaker 8: We're not just sitting in our rehearsal room concert, right,

41:30 Speaker 8: I mean, if we have something we want to work on, great, yeah,

41:33 Speaker 8: you know, but like we took April off and I

41:36 Speaker 8: think this is the most we've rehearsed, we've had like

41:38 Speaker 8: we got today, so it'll be like the third.

41:40 Speaker 2: One in a row, you know. But then after that

41:42 Speaker 2: we hit May and we probably won't be back in

41:45 Speaker 2: that room till August. Yeah, so who knows, you know.

41:49 Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's good to be busy. Yep, excellent, excellent?

41:54 Speaker 1: What do you oh? Jeezu? The time goes so quick?

41:56 Speaker 1: So I want to make sure well a couple of things.
