6:52 Speaker 4: and we've had some other shows. Kurt wasn't there, you know,

6:55 Speaker 4: So this is the first time I think this is

6:56 Speaker 4: the four of us in a long time.

6:58 Speaker 2: Wow.

6:59 Speaker 13: Yeah, Wow, It is pretty wild that we can just

7:01 Speaker 13: like get together and it's like it's still still kind

7:03 Speaker 13: of there. Yeah.

7:04 Speaker 1: Yeah, so no, you gotta sound great, like I said,

7:08 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, the harmonies are tight, and uh

7:11 Speaker 1: so have you had a chance, like have the four

7:13 Speaker 1: of you rehearsed for tonight.

7:15 Speaker 4: Or Thursday night?

7:18 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, like a lot or or or does it

7:22 Speaker 1: all just kind of come back.

7:23 Speaker 4: We've all been kind of working on stuff. You know.

7:26 Speaker 13: So the show we're back in June is when when

7:29 Speaker 13: we kind of booked this and we're all right, we're

7:30 Speaker 13: doing this, so everyone kind of on their own, what's

7:32 Speaker 13: kind of brushing up on stuff, and then Jason and

7:34 Speaker 13: I got together a few times and then Jason, me, Jason,

7:37 Speaker 13: Kurt and then Dave kind of we were all ready

7:40 Speaker 13: kind of one with the four of us got together,

7:42 Speaker 13: you know.

7:42 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, back in the day we played these songs.

7:44 Speaker 2: We played them a lot. Yeah. I think we're well

7:47 Speaker 2: and great.

7:47 Speaker 4: They're in our DNA.

7:51 Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's like riding a bike. It's uh a

7:53 Speaker 1: little bit, yeah, because you yeah, I remember, like you guys.

7:55 Speaker 2: Played a lot of shows back again back and then

7:57 Speaker 2: we were so busy.

7:59 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, so when was so when was the last

8:04 Speaker 1: time you guys played a show together prior to the

8:07 Speaker 1: one You're like what was the most recent show that

8:09 Speaker 1: you guys did together.

8:11 Speaker 4: Well, we did.

8:12 Speaker 13: We did something in twenty fifteen, you did it was

8:15 Speaker 13: like kind of a full Octobers and show, but Kurt

8:17 Speaker 13: wasn't around for that one, or I think you jumped

8:19 Speaker 13: up for a few songs.

8:19 Speaker 2: Yeah, like that late.

8:21 Speaker 13: So it was the four of us really, but yeah,

8:23 Speaker 13: so and then we did when in twenty seventeen too,

8:26 Speaker 13: I think so.

8:27 Speaker 4: Yeah, we did a couple of market days, a couple

8:28 Speaker 4: of market days.

8:30 Speaker 6: Yeah.

8:30 Speaker 2: The other thing I would like to note too, which

8:32 Speaker 2: is awesome about this show is that after Dave left,

8:35 Speaker 2: we were doing probably more covers than original songs, and

8:38 Speaker 2: now that Dave is here, we're doing probably mostly almost

8:42 Speaker 2: all originals.

8:43 Speaker 4: Yeah, oh that's cool.

8:44 Speaker 13: We're playing pretty much everything we ever recorded, and yeah,

8:49 Speaker 13: it's gonna be most mostly all originals and any covers

8:52 Speaker 13: that we do play and stuff we just really want

8:55 Speaker 13: to play, or that anyone begs us to play.

8:57 Speaker 1: Right right? That track that we played twenty five when

9:03 Speaker 1: was that done originally?

9:06 Speaker 4: Yeah?

9:06 Speaker 13: Okay, yep, Paint the Town October is our second CD.

9:10 Speaker 4: There, and yeah, so is that one?

9:12 Speaker 1: Okay?

9:13 Speaker 2: Okay?

9:13 Speaker 4: That was two thousand and one.

9:14 Speaker 2: Two thousand.

9:16 Speaker 1: Now, what what is everybody doing away from October Sun?

9:19 Speaker 1: So obviously, Dave, you have Satellite Union, which which I love.

9:21 Speaker 1: I don't know if you even heard it because you

9:23 Speaker 1: guys were setting up. But uh, at the end of

9:26 Speaker 1: the last segment, I put on like a War. I

9:28 Speaker 1: still love that song, and it's and it's mud and

9:31 Speaker 1: it's only increased in relevance, you know what I mean.

9:35 Speaker 3: We've got another one we're playing tonight and putting on

9:37 Speaker 3: our next album, like, oh, okay, same theme, a little

9:41 Speaker 3: bit more come on people.

9:43 Speaker 1: Right right? Oh, very cool, very cool. So so Satellite Union,

9:46 Speaker 1: you're still doing a lot with that, right And then

9:49 Speaker 1: do you have anything else going musically in Chicago or no?

9:52 Speaker 4: Just kind of writing and performing with them?

9:55 Speaker 1: Yeah, And Chris, you do a lot of solo stuff, right.

9:58 Speaker 13: Yeah, primarily just solo stuff now. So I'm just you know,

10:01 Speaker 13: out playing restaurants and bars and all the millions of

10:04 Speaker 13: breweries that we have. Yeah, great and uh but yeah,

10:08 Speaker 13: and I feel like it's changed a little bit in

10:11 Speaker 13: terms of, like, you know, I could play a ton

10:13 Speaker 13: of originals at that at those kind of kind of

10:16 Speaker 13: gigs still and get away with it.

10:18 Speaker 4: So yeah, so it's good.

10:19 Speaker 6: Yeah.

10:19 Speaker 1: Do you play any of the October Sun's songs?

10:22 Speaker 4: It's funny, not really, not really.

10:24 Speaker 13: And and then as we've been kind of getting back

10:26 Speaker 13: into it, I'm like I've kind of mixing them back

10:28 Speaker 13: in a little bit and kind of rediscovering them.

10:30 Speaker 1: Yeah.

10:30 Speaker 13: But yeah, it's kind of like a these songs were

10:32 Speaker 13: kind of like another era just kind of like put

10:34 Speaker 13: it down.

10:35 Speaker 4: And moved on.

10:35 Speaker 1: Yeah.

10:36 Speaker 4: You know, there's a couple that I think we always

10:38 Speaker 4: regularly play.

10:39 Speaker 2: Actually find ironic the song twenty five because you're talking

10:43 Speaker 2: about well, now.

10:43 Speaker 4: We're not right, it's a quarter life crisis. I wish

10:48 Speaker 4: we were still in a quarter life crisis.

10:50 Speaker 2: Songs that you wrote, you know, yeah, twenty five years ago, right.

10:54 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, ten lifetimes ago.

10:56 Speaker 2: Right Yeah.

10:57 Speaker 1: Now what about you, Kurt?

10:58 Speaker 2: What what do you have music? Like? A couple of

11:00 Speaker 2: couple of different bands.

11:01 Speaker 1: Of course you do. You're a drummer.

11:03 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, exactly.

11:04 Speaker 1: This is a consistent theme on the show. Every drummer

11:06 Speaker 1: we talked to is in like ten different bands.

11:08 Speaker 2: I'm getting, well, you're you're being humble.

11:10 Speaker 1: You're in You're in ten bands, aren't you?

11:12 Speaker 4: No?

11:12 Speaker 2: No, No, It's like it's like two different ones.

18:35 Speaker 1: in studio on this Saturday morning. I can't get over

18:38 Speaker 1: those harmonies? Is that the hardest thing to work out

18:42 Speaker 1: when you're rehearsing? Or does it? Does even that just

18:44 Speaker 1: kind of come?

18:45 Speaker 13: Is it?

18:46 Speaker 2: Muscle find rolls with it? So we're kind of go

18:48 Speaker 2: where we all sit?

18:51 Speaker 15: Yeah, Chris, I think Chris and Dave naturally sing harmony together,

18:55 Speaker 15: you know, very instinctively.

18:57 Speaker 6: Yeah.

18:57 Speaker 15: I need to like write apart and figure it out

19:00 Speaker 15: and played on the guitar and like memorize it because

19:02 Speaker 15: I don't have the air force really.

19:03 Speaker 6: Yeah.

19:03 Speaker 2: Yeah, Kurt tells me what the things?

19:07 Speaker 4: I think. Kurt usually tells me what the thing?

19:11 Speaker 6: Now?

19:11 Speaker 1: Do you guys have any plans to record anything new?

19:13 Speaker 1: I mean, obviously you know you're not all together geographically

19:16 Speaker 1: on a consistent basis. But we live in an era

19:18 Speaker 1: where you can, you know, it's easier than ever to

19:20 Speaker 1: kind of you know, send files back and forth.

19:23 Speaker 2: And I've actually been doing some home recording and Jason

19:26 Speaker 2: does some home recordings. Really we've been passing some stuff around.

19:29 Speaker 2: But yeah, everybody's just gonna line up the schedules.

19:32 Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, it's kind of no excuse. Probably not like

19:37 Speaker 4: it would.

19:37 Speaker 2: Be fun to do it. I mean it really doesn't.

19:39 Speaker 2: You know, the technology just look a thousand times different

19:42 Speaker 2: than it was when we did those things. Oh yeah,

19:44 Speaker 2: oh yeah, I mean even then, you know, the technology

19:46 Speaker 2: was different. But the guy that recorded as Markle of

19:49 Speaker 2: Role was using a two inch tape, which is kind

19:51 Speaker 2: of old school, which is was kind of fun. But

19:53 Speaker 2: at the same time, like we can easily pass files

19:56 Speaker 2: around it.

19:56 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's easier than ever. Not to put you

19:59 Speaker 1: on the spot.

20:00 Speaker 4: Yeah no, no, something we've been talking about for a

20:03 Speaker 4: long time. Yeah, it's funny.

20:04 Speaker 13: We were joking saying that, like we fell between like

20:08 Speaker 13: the period between like really difficult technology and really easy technology. Right,

20:14 Speaker 13: So tell everybody tonight, like pull out your phones and

20:16 Speaker 13: take some video, because there's no video that exists.

20:19 Speaker 4: We predate YouTube.

20:21 Speaker 15: Yeah, yeah, yeah, thats how people promote it and we

20:24 Speaker 15: almost know actually predate most social media.

20:27 Speaker 4: We had a Facebook page.

20:34 Speaker 1: Well, actually, if you had a MySpace page, you still do?

20:37 Speaker 2: You know that, right?

20:38 Speaker 1: Like you can't get MySpace page is like roaches. You can't.

20:41 Speaker 1: You can't kill it, like like people try to. I've

20:46 Speaker 1: even tried. Like if you go on MySpace and find

20:48 Speaker 1: like an old page of yours, there's no way to

20:50 Speaker 1: deactivate it. There literally is not. It will exist forever. Yeah,

20:55 Speaker 1: or like if you have anything embarrassing on MySpace from

20:57 Speaker 1: back in the day, it's still there. So but yeah, no,

21:02 Speaker 1: it'd be great here some new some new stuff from

21:04 Speaker 1: you guys. Is anyone recording the show tonight, like recording

21:07 Speaker 1: the audio of it or anything.

21:08 Speaker 4: I'm trying to work out a way to do it.

21:10 Speaker 15: I've get the technology, but I'm also bringing a lot

21:13 Speaker 15: of other equipment on the sound guy and the bass tech,

21:15 Speaker 15: the guitar.

21:17 Speaker 4: So the last thing I'm gonna be doing just plug

22:12 Speaker 1: Well where does the name come from? By the way,

22:15 Speaker 1: October Suns. I think I remember, but I'm not sure.

22:17 Speaker 4: So yeah, that's a good question. So I don't know.

22:20 Speaker 13: Like when the band was first coming together, I just

22:23 Speaker 13: you know, New Hampshire Fall, it was like, you know,

22:26 Speaker 13: most awesome time of year, and just wanted that kind

22:28 Speaker 13: of imagery in my That's why I wanted that.

22:30 Speaker 4: So I just had a first settle on October. Yeah,

22:33 Speaker 4: we need something with October in it. And then we

22:34 Speaker 4: couldn't come up with anything.

22:35 Speaker 13: And then it was actually my brother Chuck, my older brother,

22:39 Speaker 13: who I was like, man, we can't think of a

22:40 Speaker 13: name where we got all these names, you know, yeah,

22:43 Speaker 13: And one day he he called me.

22:44 Speaker 4: I was like, I got it. October Suns. It's like,

30:29 Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, h m hmm.

30:51 Speaker 2: I'm always terrified of that rip at the end.

30:57 Speaker 4: I was in a base player.

30:59 Speaker 15: These days, my fingers don't have to work that fast

31:02 Speaker 15: right rightly. And I'm sitting here, you know, a fifty

31:05 Speaker 15: one year old guy trying to learn stuff that a

31:07 Speaker 15: really ambitious twenty six year old guitar player recorded.

31:10 Speaker 1: Yeah, oh that's funny.

31:13 Speaker 2: That's funny.

31:13 Speaker 1: If you are just doing us. We have October suns

31:15 Speaker 1: here with us live and studio. These guys are playing

31:18 Speaker 1: tonight at Panucci's and Conquered with a satellite Union and

31:22 Speaker 1: miles to Memphis, and uh, that's you probably expecting a

31:27 Speaker 1: lot of people, right, it's home, kind of a hometown homecoming.

31:30 Speaker 1: Should be a lot.

31:32 Speaker 4: Of chatter, a lot of likes out there, so hopefully.

31:35 Speaker 1: It should be a good night. I would think you yeah, yeah,

31:38 Speaker 1: very good. Yeah, you guys sound you guys sound incredible.

31:40 Speaker 4: You don't.

31:41 Speaker 1: You don't sound like a band that doesn't spend a

31:43 Speaker 1: lot of time together. You know, you sound like a

31:46 Speaker 1: band that's you know, tight, and but you know, like

31:49 Speaker 1: like you were saying, it's kind of a muscle memory

31:51 Speaker 1: thing with these songs, right.

31:52 Speaker 11: You know.

31:52 Speaker 7: And it's rare that we have four singers harmonize it.

31:56 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true too. Yeah, and that that.

31:58 Speaker 5: Really adds such as I think that's so cool to

32:02 Speaker 5: listen to your harmonies.

32:03 Speaker 15: That's kind of what separated us from a lot of

32:04 Speaker 15: the other bands at the time. Well, actually the fact

32:07 Speaker 15: that we had four part harmonies. Three of us were songwriters,

32:09 Speaker 15: but also we weren't a jam band, and almost all

32:13 Speaker 15: the other bands were jam bands at the time.

32:14 Speaker 2: We were songwriters.

32:15 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, oh yeah, conquered at that time, jam bands everywhere,

32:21 Speaker 1: and some really good ones friends with those cats, yes,

32:27 Speaker 1: of course.

32:27 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah.

32:28 Speaker 13: We were one of the only real rock bands, I think,

32:31 Speaker 13: And I think that's what might make tonight kind of unique,

32:35 Speaker 13: I think, because yeah, I think we're still only one

32:37 Speaker 13: of the only ones.

32:38 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, yeah, and and and a legit just

32:41 Speaker 3: rock band, not a metal band, not a hard rock band,

32:44 Speaker 3: but just here's rock and roll?

32:46 Speaker 6: Yeah?

32:46 Speaker 1: Yeah, is it because of that just being that?

32:50 Speaker 2: Is it?

32:51 Speaker 1: If any of you ever found it hard to describe

32:53 Speaker 1: your music to people, because it's almost like if you're

32:56 Speaker 1: if you're something more specialized, so to speak, instead of

32:58 Speaker 1: just a straight aed rock and roll band, it's it's

33:00 Speaker 1: kind of that creates a challenge trying.

33:03 Speaker 4: Yeah, I always have a hard time with that.

33:04 Speaker 1: Yeah, what do you play?

33:05 Speaker 2: Rock?

33:06 Speaker 4: Yeah, alternative rock somebody of the early nineties all rock.

33:10 Speaker 2: Somebody told me once that reminded of like Totally White's

33:13 Speaker 2: Rocket or something.

33:14 Speaker 4: Yeah, we get, we get, what do we get? We get?

33:16 Speaker 1: You get r E M I bet right, and we get.

33:19 Speaker 15: But we're definitely all influenced by Yeah, yeah, say what's

33:23 Speaker 15: the band?

33:25 Speaker 4: Why can I think of it? I saw them with

33:27 Speaker 4: toad yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

33:33 Speaker 2: We used to hear that of it.

33:34 Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, Which when I hear Jim Blossoms, I don't

33:38 Speaker 4: get I don't know.

33:39 Speaker 1: Okay, good, I love I get the comparison. But I

33:43 Speaker 1: think what you guys do is more sophisticated than Jim Blossoms.

33:46 Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, thank you.

33:48 Speaker 1: I don't think they have the harmonies, certainly.

33:50 Speaker 7: Know your vocals definitely make you unique.

33:52 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's wonderful to hear.

33:54 Speaker 7: Where can people find you guys online?

33:58 Speaker 15: Well, we do have a Facebook I've been looking. Yeah,
