Matt Connarton Unleashed: Run Like Thieves

Run Like Thieves live in studio. How are you guys? Welcome? Good? Hey man, Hey Abe, Let's start with you because I've known you forever. Yeah, I just I'd love for each of you to introduce yourselves and tell us what you do in the band. Hey, I'm Abe. I play the bass and evidently i'm the technical guy. That's that's what we hear by default. Yes, and on the couch. Hi, Greg Santini, the drummer for Run Like Thieves. You can find me on social media at running Drummer because I like to run a lot. So yeah, name my channel, Running Drummer.

That makes sense. Yeah, I wondered. I didn't know if you had some sort of gimmick where you run and you play the drum. Yeah, you're running, or I'd like to do that

seems like a very obvious idea. And the gentleman in the corner with the giant cardboard Peter Whitehead for those watching online, And my name is Dan Fallon, and I am the I am the media front of the band, and you can find me on only dance dot com and pay for my subscription there. Yeah. So I'm laughing extra hard because when Matt said that by the look of your face. I know that you thought he was talking about your head, but I'd like you to turn over your right shoulder. Oh goodness, Now that's the giant Peter White head.

It's very appropriately placed. He's always watching. Oh yeah, No, I wasn't referring to your head. No. I was like, how did they notice? I was checking to see how my fly was down. He's got a huge head. Now now technically, uh, technically, I am though allowed to make jokes about people with large heads because I have a large head, So that makes it okay. I realized that, No, that makes you self loathing. I realized, I bet you cry yourself to sleep on your huge pillow. Well that's right. Well, you know I'm Irish and Irish people we have.

I realized that years and years ago. I was watching Conan O'Brien in his monologue. He made a joke about the size of his own head, and I never thought about it. I was like, yeah, he does have a big head, and he but the joke. It was something about Irish people having large heads, and I was like, wait, I'm Irish. Do I have a big head? And I ran to the bathroom mirror and I was like, oh, yeah, wow, I do I look like a South Park character. I get this giant Irish melon I'm walking around with, but but I look at it this way.

I needed to hold my enormous sprain. That's right. So I think that it's an appropriately sized head for your brain. Thank you, thank you. I am also Irish and I'm very sensitive about the size of my head. Well it's uh is it too small? You know, well anyway in the Marryland anyway, but it looks bigger up close. It's it's uh, it's wonderful to have you guys here, and Abe, it's great to see you. You've been in now when when I first met you, you were in East is East back at the old Guildford practice space.

Yes, yes, now is that where where is Revelry Studios? Is that where? That is? No revel what was here in Manchester? The building just sold or something? So uh Matt uh uh. Matt Blanchette is the guy that ran that, along with his other guys, tyler Ayres and they're looking for a new space. Oh uh. They'll still like go out and do things and I would highly recommend them. I think we all would highly recommend. We were lucky to get in before they closed. Been one of the last people recorded in our studio.

Oh wow, and they are amazing, incredible And how did the three of you come to play together? How did this band form? Well, why don't you tell this? Well, So I moved up from New York. I retired. I was a fireman in New York City and I retired and came up to New Hampshire and I've been playing drums for a really long time and I wanted to start a band. So I met two other guys started playing and then we played out. We didn't have a singer. We were just too you know, a trio of just music. And they were really good.

And we're still friends with one of the bass players. He's awesome guy, Carmen Serrano. Great, great guy. But anyway, met Dan at an open mic and he was just the nicest guy. And I was like, who is this guy? And he started singing. I was like, Oh, this guy can sing. We need a singer bad. So he ended up playing with us, and Dan and I just kind of really became really good friends and continue to make music. And Dan is just Dan is the kind of guy that just he'll do anything, like, he will just play anywhere, play anytime.

He's got no qualms, you know, doesn't care about what anyone thinks, which is which is a really hard thing to find in a in a musician, because a lot of musicians are very you know, they're I guess they're sort of afraid to insecure. They don't they don't want to play out or whatever. Dan is the opposite of that. Play anywhere anytime, we want to all you want to play you know the song, Nope, let's play it anyway. You know. Like that's so I really admired that about Dan. And then we ended up doing a lot of cover as a cover band thing, and then we met Abe.

Abe was our backup bass player for the cover band, and he came right in and he was just insanely good. Yeah, and I was like wow, And I really connected with Abe musically, and that's a huge thing for drummers. In my opinion, your band is only as good as your bass player and your drummer. And he was just right on, you know, right connected right away, and it was fantastic, and we just started playing together and we Dan had a bunch of music that we thought was great, and Abe and I basically put our own thing on it and you know, help him produce a lot of the stuff and make it even better than it is.

And it's just it's been great. It's been really great. Yeah, really great. We've been on a really good run. Excellent, excellent. What what brought you to New Hampshire? By the way, Uh, they don't tax my pension. So also we love to hike and schime. I have two kids, and and and my wife, and they just love the outdoors and you know, they're they're really you know, I just love the the everything about We love being close to the mountains, the ocean, the city in Boston, only four hours from New York.

So if we want to go back home, it's not a big deal, you know. So it's it's great. We love it. Yeah, actually excellent. Are you from here down? I'm from Malden, Massachusetts originally Okay, okay in the streets, yeah street and ay? Are you from here? Originally? Yeah? I mean I'm from uh uh Sandwich, uh Sandwich, Tamworth originally kind of been moving my way south ever since. Yeah, I won't go too much farther. You're gonna end up in that tax category. That's right. Yeah, that's right. That's right.

So maybe I don't need to worry about that income all income. Ye, that's right, Massachusetts taxes everything. Yeah, you breathed, I got you. That's a quarter come back exactly. Hello to our friends j Fed and Melanie from the great state of Vermont who are in the chat room. Speaking of very loyal listeners. So, how long is uh, how long has this been a band? It's been a couple of years. Yeah. Well, Dan and I've been Dan and I've been playing together for about a little over two years, and then Abe joined us.

I guess in the last a year ago. Yeah. So I got the call from Brian back in March, right. Brian's our he's our horn player for the cover band. Another awesome musician, great guy the Bulkheads. Yeah yeah, he's a Bulkhead guy. Yeah. And then we started writing tunes together. I don't know, we were going to practice one day and do some covers for like a trio gig, the three of us, and then just started to writing some songs. So it's pretty dope. I was like, oh, let's try this, this will be and it sounded awesome.

Yeah, we get some bangers coming, I'm telling you, And I was like, oh, wow, let's do this, let's do it. Yeah, I've I've played a lot of bands and a lot of you know, different musicians and some great musicians, and I've never been I've never been prouder of what we just did recently recording wise too, and just musically, the synergy and the connection that we have has been it's been so good. There's just no no attitudes. You know, everyone is super nice and you know, everyone works really well together.

And we don't have any you know, weird issues like a lot of bands do. Yeah, there's no none of that, you know, So we we you know, we love it. Yeah, it's really good. Yeah. When when it's easy like that, then you know you've really got something. Yeah. It's very fair balance. Everyone's very honest with each other about things, and it's really good. Yeah. Yeah, that's uh, that's excellent. Well we should all let's listen to one of these studio tracks and then and then uh, and then we're gonna hear you guys live.

But I love this, Mamma, come and get me. This is this is a great, great song.

So we're gonna we'll we'll listen to this, and then we've got another studio track that will play a little bit later, and then you guys are gonna play uh tell her as a song you guys are gonna play live for us, right, yeah, okay, but yeah, let's give this a listen. First. This is really good. And where was this? This was recorded at Revelry. It was recorded at Revelry and all live and we have never aired it. Uh. This is the first very special day, so thank you for having us here. And technically it was the first song that we really kind of together as a band, really put together.

Yeah.

Yeah, it was one of the first excellent Okay, so this is technically a world radio premiere. All right, let's give this a listen. This is a great song. Mama, come get me by run like thieves.

Mama, come get me by, run like thieves. Hey, where's the name come from? By the way, this is a cool name. Yes, thank you. I actually came up with a name actually technically not me, but I used to play with another friend of mine in a band way back when in Tennessee, and which is actually name of one of our songs too, but has nothing to do with that.

But anyway, I used to live in Knoxville, Tennessee, my buddy Will and Will Day and we had a band that called Nelly Bly and then we I left and came back and hadn't talked to him in years, and then we ended up connecting again and I had a home studio and we did some recording and he said, oh, we gotta call it Run Like Thieves, and that's really cool, and then we just stopped playing together. And then once we all got together, we were thinking of band names and I was like, you know, I used to have a band name called run Like.

It really wasn't a band, it was just like me and my buddy, like, you know, doing some stuff, and we called it Run Like Thieves. So I called my buddy Will just to make sure. I'm like, hey, is it cool that we use this name. He's absolutely loves the stuff. So he's like, he's like, absolutely, you know, please use it. It's great. And I said, okay, cool. And we already had a Facebook page that was up Run Like Thieves on Facebook that I had for probably three years and then never did anything with it.

And now we actually started posting everything on there, and we all have our YouTube channel Run like Thieves and all that stuff. So we're slowly but surely. And all these recordings that we that you're hearing now were also recorded with on camera as well, and they came out fantastic, like they did such a good job at revery. I can't even say the word should your low revel. Yeah, you're right that. I'm just so glad we came up with a band name quickly because yes, and what's what's cool about the band name is that it's it's three words, which represents the three of us.

And then on the running drummer, so that's the whole run was was also in there. I was like, that's kind of perfect. Let's let's just do it. Call it that. So it's got a cool like r l T, you know, so we can make like cool stickers. Yeah. Yeah, and as the ls the like because everybody likes Abe and he like listens really well run. And then Dan is the thief. He's a banker. He's yeah, he's a good thief though. That's that's the PC version of the thief. Gotcha. Well, let's do this. I'm dying to hear you guys play live, so you are all right?

Oh, yeah. Yeah. Uh so if you want to play, yeah, you're you're gonna do uh Tennessee right, Oh no, I'm sorry. I tell her, tell her good night, Tell her good night. Tennessee is the other studio you're also out already? Yeah, on all forms. It's on Spotify, Apple Music. Uh, you can even ask your Alexa yeah the song and it'll give it to you. I couldn't believe it. I think that's when I knew I made it musically, Yeah,

recognized me. That was like, all right, I did it. That is pretty cool. But in this one, we have a video online for so we get in a run like thieves YouTube, and it's picking up some steam. Actually it's very very cool, yes, with very there's really no marketing on it. It's just kind of organically doing its things. That's good. Yeah like that. So if you're out there, please look it up. It's pretty cool. Yeah, that's pretty cool. Yeah, that that is extremely cool. Yeah whatever. Whenever you guys are ready, I'll have to kind of uh we're ready, I'll have to kind of you know, I'll move the faders around as your play and then try to try to get them both balance and uh me me what's up.

That's amazing you really, you're really on this. I'm on it today. I wasn't helping him with his levels. Well, I was just thinking. You're probably not used to say I used to singing this early right in the day. Or maybe you are. I don't know. I just never stopped singing my mom all the time. I sing at work. Would you like me to help you with that all the time? Okay, that's the way to go. All right. Well, you know I get yelled at by my woman. I'm so sorry. She loves it, you know, Yeah, she can't stay mad.

Right, you should have gotten an A plus instead of an A minus. What are you doing to your dad this thing all the time? Just keep a going. No, that's good, that's probably very healthy. It's very very good. All right, whatever you guys are ready by all right. Lips taste like whiskey. I smell like beer, she says. Look about the stars. Look how closed they be? You carol lehing like your way back home. That's what you should do, because I know somewhere there's a porch like on waiting for you.

We have Abe, Greg, Dan, they are all here and yeah, you gotta sound amazing. That was That was very very cool. Thank you. Are you playing out a lot?

Are you doing a lot of live shows or yes? Yeah, Dan plays out all the time. This is actually sweat and I can just stick on it and I don't have to. Dan plays a lot as far as the band goes, Actually we play. We we haven't played a lot as Run Like Thieves. We play a lot as as a cover band, Yeah, quite a bit, but we haven't actually played a lot as Run Like Thieves. So we're we're excited to get out there and play and start really playing shows as and putting our original content out there because nobody wants to hear original content a lot of times, so we get it.

But I think, I feel, and I think we can all agree that that our original content is pretty universal, I think, and I think people can hear it and kind of dig it. You know. It's not like weird and obscure. I'm not trying to be mister Bungle yeah, which, by the way, we've all done that, which is a huge influence of mine. By the way, I actually huge misle love mister Bungle ye. But yes, we're not like that. But so we're sort of universal, so I think we can get away with even playing bars and places where you know, crowds are hanging out and they would just be like, oh, that's just good music, so right, But please check out our listings at run like these and see where we're playing, and don't don't be too shy, and please come see Dan Fallon saying and Abe sings with me and Craig sings with me, and that's Dan Fallon music.

And we will be at the well uh run like Thieves. Songs will be played at the following venues. Yeah, in the near future, Patti's and Drake It the Wild, Rover, Manchester, Eric's Church and Wyndam, Maine Foster's Tavern, The Thirsty Pig Songwriter in the Round with Katie Dobbins, The Birch Bar, Saddle Up Saloon in Kingston, where I just came from a couple of minutes ago, The Birch Bar, ax and Ale Deps landing up in Tamworth in that real local Hi, oh forgive me high Octane Saloon, and Laconia. We got a gig there too,

and were back at Defiant Records. And that's all I can do right now because I don't I don't want to. It's a lot, Yeah, there's a lot. That's Some of those gigs aren't full band gigs, but okay, but some of them will be. Yeah, And it's always it's always a good time, excellent, we're always entertaining. Yes, Oh, I don't want to forget to. You guys very generously brought us. We're gonna we're gonna dig into those. Uh, we're gonna save my pre we're gonna save those for later. But you guys brought us a box of donuts and they look really good and where they're from.

Goodies, good goodie good donuts. Well, like you said, that Good Donuts located in Laconia at two thirty five Union Avenue, and they look awesome. And you guys were saying like they they open and they sell out, they sell out, I mean by nine to thirty. A lot of times when they open their they close they when they sell out, they close the store. Okay, they open I think at five thirty or five or something like that. Yeah, what a crazy thing. Yeah, it's amazing. Oh my god, you don't look at me. They're so good that I am sorry, Okay, we're gonna I'm sorry.

That's how good that. That's what I'm trying to tell you. I got you three dozen and I only wound up having six. By the time they're flopping around the box, it would have been like, here's two at there's not one with like a bite taken out of it. They're all intact in that way. I've seen that. I've seen that before. I'm looking at this business's pictures and they have like, oh god, fruity pebbles. Their doughnuts covered in fruity pebbles. I remember fruity pebbles from my youth. I'm sorry, but that's crazy.

You've never seen that. You know donuts go good with the season two? Oh yeah, oh yeah, yes, yes, run like Thieves here live in studio with us. We do have another studio track too that we're going to play at the end of the segment. That's another great song, Tennessee. But now, when you I wanted to circle back to this about recording to at Revelry, it does it is easier to say it that way. Give me that donut.

Never never, Oh my goodness, I'm bringing more donuts. Did you guys record these kind of sort of was it live basically instead of that's the only way we do it too? Yeah? Yeah, I was just telling telling these guys this morning that that I was watching a documentary on Tom Petty doing Wildflowers when Rick Rubin took over as producer and they did it live? They did they did? You know, they recorded it live as opposed to doing it track by track, which is a lot of times what people do usually. Yeah, and I do that.

I do a lot of that, just recording for other bands and stuff just in my studio. So if you have drum tracks, but anyway, you you miss something when you do that, in my opinion, and when we recorded there and of course they did such a great job of mixing and putting it all together. So I've never you know, I've never heard myself back like that, and I was like, whoa, that's legit. Like these guys are really really good. So but you know, they captured the moment and we just we we did have a good session.

We definitely played well, and I was like, Okay, that was really good. We do each song took a couple of takes, but but and way way less expensive, and and and you're like you're not thinking. It's not in your head, you know, it's almost like you don't have enough time to think about it, like it's just gonna get done, and that that's that's a cool thing to be on the you know, like you have to be right in the edge of disaster. I could ride it, you know, and you're right on that, like, Okay, this could be not good and and then hopefully just it goes well.

And when when you capture it, you capture something. And I think for those this LP we captured something. We hope to do it again with those guys eventually, wherever they land and wherever they open up, another studio would go back there in the heartbeat. Yeah, it was that's what really. They did capture the the US. They captured us, and if it's good enough for Muddy Waters, it's good enough for but Abe did make Abe. It was like, these guys, man, I'm going to get them lined up. So he before the before U, before we recorded, we he made sure we were really ironed out.

Yeah. Uh, like every meat, every beat. So I've gotten so used to doing the recording track by track like that that I just assumed that we would want to do it that way. So I made click tracks and everything. Yeah, and we rehearsed with the we're with them. Yeah, but you know, we got there with the cameras and everything rolling, and yeah, just become evident that like, yeah, we're going to throw that out the window, and you know, luckily we're good enough. It was good to rehearse that way and then to show up and just relax a little bit and they have to worry about that so much.

Yeah, Yeah, that's a good point. You can show up, relax and kind of really bring it. I just wanted to say to Matt and Jen for all of your listeners who are shy and haven't asked a question yet. The answer is yes. I don't mean the answer is yes to your questions. Okay, all of the questions, yes, Shirtless, just start yes. That's how I like to you know, what the the what's great about Abe too? And just to give a more accolades, but Abe really he comes in studied like he's he's the kind of guy that does his homework as as a musician, and it's it's really awesome to have someone like that who really it's down and dissects everything and then and then you know, puts his own spin and production on it, and it's he's been so good like that, and that that was another reason why we're like, oh my god, he's the dude, like the guy and actually there and not kidding there really is question.

One of our favorite listeners Isaac. He always wants to know what people's influences are, who influenced you musically to be where you are. Well, we did mention mister Bungle. However, there's a lot more. I'm a huge Rush fan. So my son is actually here in studio with us, and he is eleven years old and his name is Neil, after Neil Peartt. And if you ever see a car driving around with the license plate YYZ Rush. That's me. So I'm a huge Rush fan. So I'm into like, you know, progressive stuff and whatever.

But I also like, you know, everything from Tom Petty to you know, so many, so many I can't even but i'd faith no more. I'm a huge fan. Like, I just love so many weird things, you know, jazz music, art, Blakey and Miles Davis and you know, just all the great drummers that I'm a drummer like, I love drummers. So yeah, there's like Steve Gadd like whatever band he's in, I'm in, Like I love it, you know, whatever it is. One of my good friends is an amazing fiddle player, Eileen Ivers. She's a huge influence.

So many people that I know personally that are great too. So yeah, it's hard. Yeah, I'm a I come from like definitely like a punk rock, alternative rock background. That's what I did like for the last twenty years basically. But I mean, like my favorite artists is Tom Waits are none. I've listened to him forever since I was a kid, so that's going to be a big influence me. But also I mean, like I don't get to do it here much. But I mean like noise Rock, I love Death from Above nineteen seventy nine, stuff like that.

But I mean, yeah, also, I mean originally this was going to be like they said, Americana country, yeah, which like I haven't done that yet. Yeah, I should get I should dip my toes and get that done. So that's a lot of the reason I signed on, because I haven't been doing a whole lot recently, and what I did do wasn't really working out for me. So I'm just gonna say screw it and try something. So yeah, that's why I'm And that's what's so cool about this this trio is that we come from some different places and and you know, we all appreciate everything we've and we've been playing covers a lot, and we you know, we played covers enough to we know what covers work, and we know that we're also into hip hop, so like you know, we know when we play live stuff, we do a lot of hip hop, a lot of funk, you know, stuff that people can dance to, and so we love that stuff.

And then I think we like all the darker stuff too, you know, anything with Minor Chords, radio Head, you know, stuff like that we're totally into as well. But you know, he comes from the Tom Waite stuff and I'm from the like progressive stuff. And then damage this I don't even know. I'm yeah, you know, you know one of my It's very interesting. I'd like to tell you something. So I've been playing music for ever, and like I said, since I came out the womb. I made some noises then and been still doing them.

I just made that noise this morning, same exact noise, and it sounds like no So I love Woody Guthrie and and I just I just thought he was amazing. I've been very I have a large family, and they would blast music all the time, so you'd hear Frank Sinatra, boys to men, new Kids on the block, Alison Chane's sound guard, and everybody listened to different things, Bruce Springsteen and and then when I started to kind of develop my own taste, I started listening to what he got there. I love that old timey.

I just love everything about him. I just thought it was fascinating how he lived and how he traveled the United States, and and just just sat with people in a room and freaking wrote a song with them about their heritage Austrian immigrants in the Great Depression didn't matter to have. He's like, we're gonna this is that's how we developed. And so I really took that as kind of an I've written over twelve hundred songs. Wow, never written a lie that is the truth really has Yeah, it's insane. They're not all great, but that's true too.

Out of twelve hundred, it was about three decent ones and you have them all here today, Matt. Okay, we saved them for you. One thing. One thing about what I love about Dan is that his ability to tell a story in the song, which I think is really important for people to connect. Yeah, you have to tell a story that people and understand the lyrics and it's not just marvels in your mouth type. You know, I don't know what that guy said because people connect with that. I mean, I I'm not I hardly. I listened to drums and I listened to bass.

Yeah, and now that I've you know, understand the importance of the story behind the song, it really connects people to the song. So like, I love that about Dan, Thank you do that. So the thing is, there was something that happened with me about ten years ago where I got I started writing songs for Songs of Love Foundation, and it's for kids with cancer, leukemia, different illnesses. They get requests through Make a Wish, Give Kids the World and directly through hospitals and hospice. And and the first song that I I thought I was I was heard on Reverb Nation on the World Music things.

I was writing some really artistic stuff that I thought was amazing. Yeah, and then and someone listened to it and he thought I was funny, And I was like, you come funny. I was like serious, But he was like, could you write a song for a kid? And I was like sure, And he was kind of testing me out, and he had me rewrite it about ten times to get out of the way of the song. And he's like, you know, the kid that's listening to this is eight, is going into dialysis a couple of times a week, driving with their parents to the hospital.

They're going to listen to the song to and from you know, wow. Yeah. Yeah, So I've done a few hundred for them. Yeah. Once again, Dan is one of the nicest people I've ever met. Well, but but it helped, It helped me in a big way because I was like, I'm going to get out of the way of the song. I'm going to get out of the way of the song. And then I meet this gentleman who's like, why are you singing like that? Can't you just be yourself? And I'm like, who's myself? Right right? I don't And then here we are, Yeah, this is this is like one of those things.

I would sing hi, I would sing lo. I would sing like a Disney guy, I would say, because you know, I would do I don't even I don't know. It was almost like an impression like I'm going home great. I would do a reggae voice baby tons to what. I'm very bad at all of them. The only voice I'm good at is the is Muddy Waters when I was a young man, you know. But no, but that's so so my influence. I'm very I'm really influenced by moments and by like the the whatever we're doing, and I capture like a picture in my mind and then that's why I write the lyrics or a poem or something like that.

And then and then my vocal influence has been from Greg my drummer, who doesn't let me go crazy. I just don't let him get away with anything. Yeah, it's very very helpful. And I've had great music teacher, Mark Baxter, he's my vocal coach. Is amazing. He's actually these Greg and Mark Baxter would get along famous Marks like why are you singing like that? Don't do that. I'm like, I don't know if you shouldn't sing that song? And I take it. My wife is really a great singer, and she is you know, she'll listen to things and and her and I kind of agree on a lot of it.

So we we've listened to stuff that Dan has done and like, oh, we just got to get him to go here, you know, and then and then it's perfect. And luckily, well he's been so good. I mean, he's just Dan. It's just awesome. I'm a good boy. But he but he for this particular recording, he just hit it right the nail on the head, like it was like perfect the whole way through. And I was like, oh, man, you're that's your that's your sweet spot, man, that's the money right there, that's the money spot. Well, gentlemen, this has been uh, this has been fantastic.
