Speaker 1: Joining us right now in studio. Let me get the MIC's up for these guys. We have rabbits for sale. Hey guys, hello, what's up. Let's do this and we're gonna play some more of your music, of course in a couple of minutes. But Jet, let's start with you in the corner, and if we can just go around and you can each tell me who you are, what you do in the band, and have any other pertinence of course.

Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, my name is Jet Harris Lack. I play guitar, the guitar.

Speaker 3: And I sing lead vocals, and I guess we'll patch the spencer all right, kind of lighting up spencer the keyboards for the band.

Speaker 2: I do some background vocals as well.

Speaker 1: All right, yeah, all right, very good.

Speaker 4: And you I'm Vance Carpenter. I played bass in the band. And a fun fact about me, I like mac and cheese.

Speaker 1: You like mac and cheese, that's crazy.

Speaker 2: I like mac and cheese too, I can change.

Speaker 5: I'm Oliver Caine. I'm the drummer for the band.

Speaker 6: And uh, I also do a lot of the managing and I did the production on the EP.

Speaker 1: Oh no kidding, Oh, very cool, very cool. Where did you?

Speaker 7: Uh?

Speaker 1: Where did you record that?

Speaker 6: So we recorded that with a friend of ours, David Porter, up in his home studio in Foxborough.

Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, it sounds great, Thank you, Thank you. So as home studio you said.

Speaker 6: Yeah, he he used to have a studio way back when in Boston called Mixed One studio, I believe. Okay, but you know, things happen. So now he has his own little studio that he has in his basement. He does his own stuff. He's done audio production stuff for a while.

Speaker 5: So, uh, love shout out to Dave Porter, of course.

Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no, he did a great job. Everything sounds really good. You know, I'm old enough to remember when you know, the home studio thing wasn't really a thing, you know, so now you know, we live in an era and you know, you guys are are fortunate. You know, you're young guys, you know, growing up in an era where you know, you have so many different options in terms of how you record, and it's right, you know, you can you can do something like that home studio quote unquote, and it sounds like it was done in a million dollar studio, you know.

Speaker 3: You know, it's just so much more accessible now, like oh yeah, making and produce music and you know, and get it out there for millions to hear.

Speaker 2: So it's really great.

Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, and there's still you know, there's a lot of great studios around. It's interesting how that that continues as well. It's like, even though you have all these different options for how you record, there's still a lot of professional studios around that continue to thrive. It's I think it's because there's just more people making music than ever, you know, because of the Internet. Like I said, you know, I when I was growing up, we didn't have the Internet yet, so you know, it was it was kind of ah, you didn't have a lot of opportunities to really get your music out there, you know, unless you got signed to a record label and all that.

Speaker 1: But but today there's so many different ways to to record and to distribute music. It's really wonderful. And uh, there's more music than than ever. Yeah. I'm really curious to ask you guys about it influences and and how you kind of define your sound because and I'm sure you've probably heard this a million times, but you know, it's it's unique. I couldn't think of anybody as I was listening to the songs you know, I was trying to figure out who you remind me of, and I'm not sure. I mean I heard maybe a little bit of Vampire Weekend at least on one of the songs, But but I like you guys a lot better than I like Vampire Weekend.

Speaker 1: So I don't know if that even works. But uh, I mean, talk to me about that, Like I'm I'm gonna guess that there's like a mix of terms of yeah.

Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3: So like you know, we all, you know, I grew up listening to a whole bunch of stuff, a lot of like a lot of us grew up on little classics, you know, beatles, you know, and like you know, led Zeppelin and Late Queen and all these like classic rock influences that kind of like shaped or like are kind of our taste for music. And then we kind of broadened out and like, you know, like we listened to really obscure acts like will Wood and the Tape Worms is one that like we all really it's one that we really listen to a lot, and you know, it's very very small, small much smaller artists.

Speaker 3: You know that they have more of like a more of a cult following on the Internet, but like and that's sort of like, I don't know, that was really inspiring us. Yeah, you know, starting out and you know, releasing music also on the Internet, and like you know, it's just like it's a different way to reach an audience. So it was just and I'm sure Aliver you have influences you want to talk about as well.

Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I think, you know, we all had different backgrounds and a lot of different music that we do listen to.

Speaker 5: Like I'm I'm a big Elliott Smith guy.

Speaker 6: That's my my go to guy for sure, and that comes through on some of my tracks and like some of the stuff I do, but it also mixes with like something Spencer Advanced would do at the same time.

Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I think we all have a lot of different influences, which makes writing music together very interesting and also challenging at times.

Speaker 1: Yeaheah.

Speaker 4: And also just like I think we're still trying to find our sound as well. But yeah, I mean, I can't really. I mean there's bands that we like to play, like we'll play like some covers, I know, like the Rare Occasions.

Speaker 8: Is kind of I think.

Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean when I describe like what kind of music I play to people, I usually say like alternative.

Speaker 3: Really we also kind of dip into like the folk here acoustic stuff too, which is like but not as much as probably other indiacts, which is a you know, but yeah, like man said it, you know it is it is a challenge and like we're still finding our sound. You find on this EP we sort of do meander. It's a stew that's why we called it the Rabbit Stew. Yeah, it's supposed to be, you know, and because it's it's kind of like, you know, a meld of our influences and it's kind of meandering through all of those different flavors of music.

Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, no.

Speaker 1: I think that's a big part of what makes it so interesting to listen to. You know, As I'm listening to the four tracks, I mean, they are all they all kind of sound like the same band, but at the same time, they're very they're very different, different textures in the songs, and I forget which one I I emailed. I forget which one I said was my favorite.

Speaker 5: I'll be okay, I'll be okay.

Speaker 1: That's yeah, that one, that one especially really that really gets me. But thank you, do you guys, are you playing out a lot? Do you play a lot of shows?

Speaker 8: Yes, we actually have a show today.

Speaker 1: Oh that's right, you've got something tonight. Yeah, we should definitely plug that.

Speaker 2: Yeah, of course.

Speaker 1: Yeah.

Speaker 3: We're playing at the Tributary Brewing Company, kitter Remain. We're gonna playing from four to six, so if you're in the area, so we'll fick it out, get it, get get get some Bruce Ki's and listen to some great music.

Speaker 2: It's gonna be a good time. And then what else do we have coming up?

Speaker 8: We have our next one after that is.

Speaker 5: We're gonna play Newburyport Brewery. I forget the day on it, the tenth, That is the tenth that's gonna.

Speaker 8: Be a little later in the day.

Speaker 6: Yeah, it'll be a little later well like six or something like that. I forget the exact time on that one. But then we play Midway Cafe on the thirty first as well. That's another one right there.

Speaker 1: Excellent, excellent. I would imagine with your sound, you guys can play a lot of different kinds of places, like right, because you're not you know, you're not a metal band, so you're not like super loud, but you're not you know, you're not just like like an acoustic act either, so you know, it's not like you're you know, you're kind of just doing coffee shops right like you can probably fit in almost anywhere, I would imagine.

Speaker 3: Yeah, we really do try to like broad, keep it broad because you know, we you know, we have a lot of Yeah, we do have a huge dynamic range, you know, where we can really play something that's really like kind of forward, more punkin than kind of yeah, more soft, you know.

Speaker 4: It's just yeah, and I think we have some acoustic stuff too, so it depends. Sometimes we play like an electric set, but it's also nice to be able to play an acoustic set.

Speaker 1: Yeah, well, yeah.

Speaker 6: When we need to, even like every now and then, we also bold to like some jazz because we all and we all also come from like a jazz background.

Speaker 5: We played in the jazz group for a.

Speaker 6: While altogether, and guess that's how we Yeah, that is kind of like when we all knew each other from goal in general. But we also played you know, in our high school, we were in the jazz combo together. So the award winning jazz combo.

Speaker 1: Oh no kidding, Oh yeah, oh, very cool, very cool.

Speaker 6: So yeah, yeah, we we all kind of met each other and started playing through that.

Speaker 1: Yeah, so you guys were all in school together. Yeah yeah, oh excellent, excellent and Jet Now your father was telling me you you play, or at least in the I think in the video. I watched the video of you guys were doing something for the auditioning for the NP. Yeah, yes, Tiny Desk concert. And I talked to your dad. I assume he told you about this. I'd stopped in at the store and he was telling me about the guitar that was his that did you play? Yeah, so that les Paul.

Speaker 8: Yeah, it's gotta got some history, I guess.

Speaker 2: You know.

Speaker 3: He he was a huge He was into all the crazy hair metal bands and stuff. So he's yeah, you know he he was. Randy Rose was a player that really that really inspired him. So he went and got a guitar that was just like his. Yea, like the Floyd Rose style bridge kind of and the in lays and stuff.

Speaker 2: It's a it's a really gorgeous guitar.

Speaker 1: Yeah.

Speaker 3: Yeah, it's kind of a family I now, and I kind of I kind of did he loan it to you or did he give it to you? That's cool and that must be so cool for him to to see you use you know, and not sitting just kind of collecting it's getting it deserves you know.

Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's that's excellent. Well we should play another track and if you don't mind. Now, normally I would I would say what should what should we play next? But I I might be selfish in play I'll be Okay because that is that is my personal favorite of these. I absolutely love that song. Thank you, so we will uh oh, we should mention too. Are these on an album or is this just a collection of singles?

Speaker 2: Are part of our EP called Rabbits?

Speaker 1: Do okay? Gotcha? How many tracks are on the EP?

Speaker 6: Yeah?

Speaker 1: All right, very good. Well let's give this a listen and then we're gonna we're gonna come back and talk to these guys some more. We have Rabbits for sale with us a live in studio. But this is my favorite.

Speaker 9: This is called I'll be Okay.

Speaker 10: Hap be gethers time. Guys, there's nothing to do, nothing to spare when your life is having us? How come you to get us? The sound of Shadowing Glass as the empty Army Watson his song bad let's.

Speaker 7: Go for a walk through the top four of us. Look at all the trees that just refer.

Speaker 10: Us sit on Mama's grade.

Speaker 7: A tragic What about a young guy like he thought, getting what he thoughts? Get this man, he's done and nothing now.

Speaker 11: But I hate his Faye.

Speaker 8: With right yellow wies.

Speaker 7: So I on my phone, my sacred just.

Speaker 10: See me dot on songs not.

Speaker 1: So don't find that's gonna done. So yes, I gets so quiet at the end, but but I didn't want to. I was reluctant to talk over it because it's so pretty with the piano.

Speaker 12: I really love that one.

Speaker 1: Yeah, that is so good. That is so good. That is called I'll be okay. And if you're just joining us, the band is Rabbits for Sale and they're here with us live in studio on this Saturday morning. Hey, where does the name come from? Rabbits for Sale?

Speaker 13: So we uh and I used to play in an older just high school band, mostly just for fun, and on our on our way to practice one time we saw this sign on our way there and it said Rabbits for Sale. It was just like, you know, a guy selling rabbits and he just had a sign out, and we just thought we were like, yeah, that's cool, that's a cool band name.

Speaker 1: I'm almost surprised someone didn't. I'm almost surprised someone didn't have it already.

Speaker 5: I hope not.

Speaker 1: I was worried.

Speaker 8: I was worried we're going to brute force their way.

Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I can tell you. I'm sure you realize this if if you try to look you guys up on Facebook, you got to type in rabbits for sale band yea, yeah, because otherwise, because it turns out, and I had no idea how many people on Facebook we're selling rabbits.

Speaker 2: Turns out it's a lot, a lot of there's a lot of rabbit thoughs. I mean yeah, I mean there's a lot of them to go around. So I mean, what you do.

Speaker 5: We're trying to get a very niche audience of rabbit.

Speaker 3: So would helped if we had like a Facebook page we don't have. We need to get a proper we'll get one together.

Speaker 6: You don't have one, well, we have an Instagram. I don't know if that technically it goes over to Facebook as well.

Speaker 8: Yeah, because you need to get on the Facebook.

Speaker 2: On the face, get on the Facebook.

Speaker 1: I'm curious about the writing process. Do you guys all write together, do you get together and jam or how does that work?

Speaker 3: A bit of a little bit of everything, Like they don't know started as a gym and then we all kind of like pulled together and I'm like, hey, let's write something. But a good amount of the other ones were kind of individual, like you know, kind of us just kind of breaking off and kind of we're especially since we were kind of forming the band, it was kind of material we already had in our back pocket.

Speaker 1: They were okay bringing forward, So everybody kind of brought something.

Speaker 5: Yeah.

Speaker 1: Yeah, and Jet, do you always sing no?

Speaker 2: So on that last track, all of us sings that one?

Speaker 1: You sing that one on?

Speaker 6: Yeah? Yeah, okay, Yeah, we all kind of share a lot of like the lead vocals. I think Jet definitely does the most, but like vancings on the song, Spencer has his own songs as well that he sings, and then I sing my songs as well. Yeah, it kind of you know, changes little beatles es.

Speaker 1: I I was just thinking that it's it's cool that you're all able to sing lead and mix it up like that. Now, is it just you Oliver on that track?

Speaker 12: Is it is?

Speaker 7: There?

Speaker 1: Are the vocals doubled? Because that sounds I love the vocals on that. I love the sound of that.

Speaker 11: Yeah.

Speaker 6: Yeah, so we doubled them and did that lower one and then we had that higher sort of like Michael Jacksony weird sounding one as well on top of it.

Speaker 1: Yeah. No, it sounds really cool. I really creates a cool vibe. What do you when you play do you play that one live?

Speaker 5: We do play that one live. Yeah, when we play it live, I usually do the higher part and Jet we'll do that.

Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah that makes sense. That makes sense. Now you mentioned covers. What do you guys do for covers? Because I find you can kind of tell a lot about the band's influences from what they what they choose for cover songs.

Speaker 8: Yeah.

Speaker 4: I mean we were starting out doing kind of some obscure covers of bands that we like. Yeah, so we're trying to do I guess it's like more popular tunes. So like right now we're doing uh, recently, we've been doing moon Age, day Dream by Bowie. We're doing a talking Head song Psycho Killer.

Speaker 5: Oh nice, but we do it different, we do it cool.

Speaker 8: Yeah, we can do kind of like a punk.

Speaker 1: I've heard that's I've heard that song covered before, and it seems like everyone who covers it kind of puts a different spin on it, which is cool. And I love every version I've ever heard of it, including the original. Of course, my dad loves that song too, I remember growing up because we were both big talking D's fans. But yeah, that's a great choice. Yeah what what what else?

Speaker 1: Oh it's a really no. I was asking about covers.

Speaker 13: Covers, right, Yeah, and then we also got some Some of our early covers that we did were like from the more obscure bands, were like.

Speaker 2: Orange Dog Club. We did cover their song called untitled.

Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't. I don't know them Orange.

Speaker 2: They're like Spells us.

Speaker 3: They actually have a bigger following than their Spotify than us, so they have a lot.

Speaker 8: I think they kind of uh grew from TikTok.

Speaker 2: They grew from TikTok, but they're still very small.

Speaker 12: Yeah.

Speaker 8: I think they're upstate New York.

Speaker 3: Yeah, and I found them one day and I was like, these guys are awesome, and like, you know, you know hopefully like one day I'm gonna shoot an email and be like, hey, let's do a collapse because they have a great sound and like I feel like I can imagine like a show bill with like the two of us on.

Speaker 2: It would just like be amazing.

Speaker 8: Yeah, we do some Tally Hall.

Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Telly Hall's another act.

Speaker 5: It's like Banana Man did some Banana one of There's more Cold.

Speaker 1: Do you guys when when you do obscure covers, does anyone ever come up to you afterward and say, hey, I really love that song and they assume that it's yours because they don't they don't know it.

Speaker 5: That never happened.

Speaker 6: I think we've had to state multiple times that it is a cover. Like when we cover Tally Hall, we did the Bidding and then we also did Banana Man.

Speaker 5: Great songs.

Speaker 6: I haven't heard them listen to them, but I think there was like once or twice when we've played Banana Man where we've.

Speaker 5: Had to be like, this is a cover.

Speaker 2: By the way.

Speaker 6: I remember once at a show there was some guy that when we started playing it, his face like lit up and he was like, yeah a song.

Speaker 3: Yeahah, it was cool. Oh that's very good. Yeah, it's one of those weird ones. And that song intest is interesting because it's like it kind of like blew up on the internet in like a weird way in the early two thousands, so like some people know it, but it's like they don't really know what it's from. But like it's fun because it's so it's a goofy silly song, right, and it's always a crowd pleaser, so we always we kept it on the set like.

Speaker 2: Regarded like disregarding like the ability of the act.

Speaker 1: It just kind of yeah, Now, do you guys have anybody Are there any other bands on the scene that you kind of because I know from my own experience sometimes this happens organically where you just kind of end up teaming up with other bands and playing a lot of shows with with certain other bands. Is there anybody like that that that you guys have kind of teamed up with.

Speaker 13: Yeah, so we've the past, We've we booked a couple of gigs over the summer or from the spring that we played with a couple of people, So gem D we recently connected with and we've been trying to get some shows with them, and also Willie DeNardo and the corporates. We seem to really resonate with those artists and uh, we we also just really like their music and playing with them live. We just kind of formed a relationship and you know, we definitely keep in touch as much as we can.

Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's that's that's good. You know, it's good to have others obviously. Networking is so important, you know when you're doing this and uh and being able to have other bands that you can kind of, like I said, it happens organically, but you know, kind of team up with and support each other in that way, and it's a great way to get a lot more shows. You know, the more the more people you meet, the more shows you get and so forth. So are you guys playing out all you mentioned you've got a bunch of shows coming up, But do you guys play out through the year or I know, a lot of bands kind of use on part of it I'm sure has to do with part of the country that we're in with you know, a colder winter.

Speaker 1: A lot of bands kind of take winter to not do so many shows but kind of focus on recording. Is that kind of it?

Speaker 2: Kind of coincidentally happened like that.

Speaker 3: I guess that we ended up doing all of our gigs in the summer, Yeah, just because we had spent all the time working on the EP in the winter. Yeah, and we were released it in November, and then we were like still sort of writing stuff. We recorded two singles this past.

Speaker 5: January or February March, one of those months.

Speaker 3: And they're in that they're still in the mixing and post production process, but we hope to have those out soon, at least one of them out by the end of the year.

Speaker 2: So yeah, I keep on the lookout for that.

Speaker 5: Yeah.

Speaker 6: And also for a while, Vance was in New York for a little bit going to school, so we were short of basis, so we didn't really have the opportunity to play too much. But Vance is back now, so now we're gonna try and play as much as we can.

Speaker 5: For sure.

Speaker 1: Excellent, excellent, Well we should uh yeah, I want to try to get them all in. Let's play another track. What should we go with next? I'll let you guys pick this time.

Speaker 2: What's on the list to be heavyto?

Speaker 1: Yeah, one of the two ps.

Speaker 6: Flip a coin, you guys want to choose, Spencer, you choose promenade, Promenademenade.

Speaker 1: Yeah, I was wondering. You know, it's funny. When I looked at it, I in my mind I said promenade, and and then I listened to it and I said, oh no, it's promenade. All right, we'll go with this one next. If you are just joining us, we have Rabbits for sale. No, we're not selling rabbits. It's the name of the band Live in Studio. Yes, we love rabbits, but no Rabbits for sale is here with this Live in Studio. We're playing some tracks from their EP. What's it called again, rabbit Stew rabbit Stew.

Speaker 2: It's streaming on all platforms, Spotify, Apple.

Speaker 1: Music, Outstanding, Outstanding. All right, give this a listen. This is called promenade.

Speaker 14: Myself to your dad, will you take a chance on me?

Speaker 14: When the music starts to slow, I'm like to load to see. Then I could say that I do anything to want about my No, but all of those things that I've thought to myself, I never do. If I ask to take your health, would you work your hands in February comes round?

Speaker 7: Would you be like fault to lie? And I could say that I'd do anything, no wronger problem all of those things that are not to myself I never do

Speaker 7: and I fun mo inspires.

Speaker 13: Would you walk along.

Speaker 7: With be my sweetheart? Four all times? Promise made.

Speaker 6: I've been busy.

Speaker 7: And I could say that I do everything I want. The problem us all those things that are back to myself I'll never get.

Speaker 1: I wish my fingers could do that on the guitar. That is uh, that is so pretty. That is Prominade and the band is Rabbits for Sale. They are here with us, alive in studio, and yeah, that is that is really nice. That's the kind of thing you can just kind of close your eyes and get lost in.

Speaker 7: Yeah.

Speaker 13: I just found them on Amazon Music to add them to my playlist. I need to paint to this.

Speaker 5: Thank you very much.

Speaker 1: Excellent. Yeah, Jenny's also looking, always looking for music to paint too.

Speaker 5: She's an artist and awesome. That's very cool.

Speaker 1: Yes, yes, I got a.

Speaker 5: Paint to that one.

Speaker 12: Boy.

Speaker 13: Actually, no, I really do enjoy you guys' music is really great and I do put a lot of independent artists in my playlist and I did just add you for real.

Speaker 2: We do really appreciate it.

Speaker 8: Thank you very much.

Speaker 6: You know, you're always looking for you know, fans to enjoy ourself, and we really appreciate it.

Speaker 1: Is it I'm curious about recording a song like that. Is it challenging to really get that guitar sound exactly right? Because it's to me, it's such an art when when you hear that and you can you can hear everything so clearly to the point where you can you can hear the you know, the fingers moving on the fret board. You know, I love that. Is that challenging to get that right in the studio?

Speaker 3: I mean, fortunately for us, you know, Dave is a you know, extremely experienced engineer, and like, you know, you knew all the right stuff for Mike placement, how to get that Yeah, all of everything that was coming from here out.

Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm going from my guitar out to that.

Speaker 5: Do we do direct in and Mike? I think that's what we did, right.

Speaker 3: I think we did like a scratch with directing, But I don't think we ended up using it though. They just use a mic then because when we plugged it in. When plugging in an acoustic guitar, the electric with the pickup doesn't always sound good, you know, it's always better to get them wrong, you know.

Speaker 2: Recording with the mic, it's you know.

Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm always curious about that because I'm a bit of a recording nerd, and I just I love when I when I hear you know, because it doesn't you know a lot of that that that specifically is something that with the guitar that a lot of a lot of times it's you have to be so precise about how you do it to really to really capture it, you know what I mean, to really do it justice and uh and uh no, that that is that is really really good. What should you know? We kind of we kind of talked about it a little bit about uh, trying to find you guys on Facebook, but what should our audience know about how to find you guys online to keep up with everything that you're doing, find your music.

Speaker 6: Yeah, so we have, you know, all, like the majority at least of like the Class six socials, we have an Instagram.

Speaker 5: It's Rapers Sale, Artificial.

Speaker 3: Right, Rabbits First Sale, Dot Official and Instagram. Instagram is definitely the best one to follow. Yeah, it's the It's definitely the best way to keep updated and everything. All of our events and what we're doing to talk as well, right, bik talk is good, you.

Speaker 5: Know, to talk you find some funny content.

Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, well you know that's you know where the majority of our like just our wheels and our skits and like little things get posted and everything. Yeah, and it's always good to you know, follow us on that too and help support so we can beat the algorithm and you know, yeah, go viral.

Speaker 1: You guys are really creative, you know, just beyond the band, you know, beyond the music. You guys are really creative. So you're able to think, you know, because content creation is so important.

Speaker 3: Super important, and you gotta you know, you got to like multi task pretty much when you're out industry.

Speaker 1: It's like absolutely, we.

Speaker 5: Did have one semi viral video from Spencer.

Speaker 13: Viral maybe isn't the right word, but like we got more a lot more views than the rest.

Speaker 2: Viral is probably like viral for like, yeah.

Speaker 3: It's probably twenty one k think is where it's right now, which is more than their other videos that kind of only get like five Yeah.

Speaker 1: What what was it about this one?

Speaker 7: What? What?

Speaker 6: What?

Speaker 12: I so?

Speaker 13: I was I was having trouble falling sleep one night, and I just thought of an idea. I was like, what if I jumped on a piano and so, but then it kind of developed into like trying to grab people's attention, like, oh, look at this, this Beethoven technique that people do. And then I run over and I jump over a keyboard, but I cut it so it looks like I'm about to fall on it.

Speaker 8: Yeah, and I like play all the eighty keys of once.

Speaker 2: Oh yeah, this really is a really yeah video. Yeah, we just got to watch it, you know, it's like.

Speaker 5: Five seconds or something like that.

Speaker 3: Yeah, very very you know, but there's like the attention to detail on it, like you like you have like background music that's like I.

Speaker 13: Did like a slat based funk version of like Burle's in the background.

Speaker 1: Yeah something.

Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just.

Speaker 12: You know.

Speaker 1: Oh absolutely absolutely. And oh one more thing, because you guys were talking off air, is there a story?

Speaker 13: Oh yeah, Well then since you're the culprit for I guess you should start caused this.

Speaker 8: Well, I don't think you want me to tell the story because it might be biased coming from me.

Speaker 5: That's true, true, you want to start with first?

Speaker 8: Is the story for this happened while we were recording the vocals.

Speaker 6: It was a guitar acoustic guitar guitar. No, I thought no, because I remember I was I was playing guitar, and I was really, well.

Speaker 1: Yeah you.

Speaker 2: All right away.

Speaker 8: But we were recording I'll Be Okay.

Speaker 13: So we we were recording the guitar for I'll Be Okay, and Oliver is Uh was told, you know, just go in the room start recording the bands, comes down and announces that something's wrong to the toilet, it's broken or something and so in a rush, Jet and Dave go upstairs figure out the situation, and Oliver is just in there recording the rest of the guitar and there's he didn't know what was going on.

Speaker 1: So I walked out and I'm.

Speaker 8: Like, toilet, it was like quite that night.

Speaker 1: It was pretty. It was a lot of white.

Speaker 8: It started overflowing.

Speaker 1: It was quite.

Speaker 2: It was quite.

Speaker 5: The man I was in there recording the acoustic guitar part.

Speaker 6: I had no idea, So I'm just sitting in there and I finished, and I'm still sitting in there like what happened? And eventually Dave came down, like hit the button to talk into the room and was like.

Speaker 5: Hey, everything's fine. The toilet kind of broke. Just just do another pass, do another take. And I'm like all right.

Speaker 6: So both the guitar tracks, the acoustic guitar tracks were both done in one take and they are doubled.

Speaker 5: So I think that the toilet kind of motivated me to get it done quick.

Speaker 2: No, yeah, it was clean, you know, not like the toilet, like the toilet clean.

Speaker 8: I want to say, I sure he did not go number two?

Speaker 5: You didn't?

Speaker 8: Yeah, it was just I didn't. I just want to clarify for okay, well.

Speaker 1: That does make a difference in a situation like that, It does, It does make a very big difference. Well, good, all right? Is the toilet been repaired since then? I assume everything's all right, Everything is okay.

Speaker 5: We took it out of there. You know, he kind of maybe charges for who knows, there's an extra charge on there.

Speaker 1: It's very rock and roll though it is. There's nothing more rock and roll than a broken toilet.

Speaker 3: Actually going to go down in the in the history books broken toilet, Marco Hall of Fame.

Speaker 5: That's going to be that toilet.

Speaker 1: That's right, Yeah, yeah, right, yeah, you got to get that story in there. That's awesome. That's awesome. All right, And before we play this, uh, a song with a title like potato Head, I feel like there might be a story behind it, but I could be wrong.

Speaker 8: Is there a story behind I mean there's kind of a story.

Speaker 1: Is it about an actual potato head?

Speaker 4: I mean no, but I guess in a sense, I mean it's kind of like when you have potato heads, just kind of like you get the eyes and the eyes that maybe they're loft sided, and then you get the mouth.

Speaker 5: From what you told me it's kind of about making a perfect person, right.

Speaker 4: Yeah, it's about making a perfect person. But oh okay, kind of not realistic.

Speaker 6: Yeah, parts that are inspired by like real people that we've met, you know, Like some lyrics, especially like the first lyric your eyes are you know what it is, But like some of them are inspired by people that we actually know. So it's just like a conglomerate of like trying to create like the ideal person and and kind of like the unrealistic aspects of that as well.

Speaker 8: Okay, I think conglomerate.

Speaker 5: That's a big word for me.

Speaker 1: Conglomerate.

Speaker 5: H It's a good work, solid word.
