4:21 Speaker 4: What because being so cool cool a little so.

5:31 Speaker 1: That is catchy as hell. That is so good. Thank you you got it. Absolutely. That is called be so called. That is the band Space Casino. And we've got uh, let's see, we've got Jared, Seamus and Nick with hear us today on the program. And who are we You guys are a four piece? Right?

5:48 Speaker 7: We're missing one guy, Yeah, we're missing one. He was uh he was still on the coach when we left the v n B.

5:54 Speaker 1: Well at least you know where he is. Though he's not missing or abducted by aliens or something, because you just never know, You just never know. So, so, guys, let's so Jared, let's start with you.

6:04 Speaker 8: What do you?

6:05 Speaker 1: What do you do in the band?

6:06 Speaker 9: I play guitar. I play guitar, and I sing and occasionally I do bad stand up on stage.

6:15 Speaker 1: Dud okay, very good, very good. And you, Seamus, I play the drums. You play the drums. Excellent, and Nick a little bit of bass, little bit of vocals.

6:24 Speaker 9: Yeah, a little bit of this than.

6:26 Speaker 1: That, sure, sure, very good. And what is the guy on the couch? What does he do?

6:32 Speaker 7: He plays guitar and sings too. Okay, all three of them like they kind of switch off. Oh that's con on like lead vocals, Like the one who writes the song is kind of the one that sings it.

6:45 Speaker 9: Okay, Yeah, songwriters, and we pretty split it up pretty evenly.

6:49 Speaker 1: I always think that's that's kind of a cool dynamic to have, you know. I'm and now that I think about it, I you know, I played in a bunch of bands, but I never played in something where more than one person would would take a turn at lead vocals. And you know, I think it probably gives you an opportunity to kind of add some texture to your overall sound, right, you know, different voices different naturally, bringing different personalities. And then you know the songs are each their own kind of become their own character that way.

7:15 Speaker 7: Right, Yeah, exactly, and it kind of gives like you're like it, each of them has kind of their own vibe, like so on the album, there's nine songs, yeah, and they each there's three each from like, three from Nick, three from Jared, three from Chris, So it kind of you know, they they each have their own vibe and we kind of split them up, you know.

7:36 Speaker 9: Yeah. It adds texture.

7:38 Speaker 1: Yeah, like it a lot. Do you do you deliberately split it three ways when you're when you're approaching picking the songs or does it just kind of work out that way?

7:49 Speaker 9: Yeah? When we're recording an album, we're like, all right, everyone picked three songs of yours that you want to present that we work on those for a long time.

7:57 Speaker 1: Gotcha. That's very democratic that way, too, right?

7:59 Speaker 9: I try, yeah, because I've been in a lot of bands before as well, and like it's not always like that, and especially if you're a drummer or rhythm section, they don't get a lot of say naturally right. So I feel like with this project, it was really I was determined to make it as democratic and free.

8:14 Speaker 1: Yeah.

8:14 Speaker 9: Yeah, between everyone.

8:15 Speaker 1: That's really cool. So obvious question two I got to ask up front where does the name come from? Because Space Casino is a pretty cool name. Where does it come from?

8:24 Speaker 7: So we uh, well, I I really love like the aesthetic of like space, and I also love gambling.

8:32 Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm the opposite. I like the aesthetic of casinos. I don't like amblies much, but I love space.

8:39 Speaker 10: Yeah yeah, basically a culmination of our two favorite things, celestial objects.

8:44 Speaker 9: And yeah okay, okay, both are a cold wasteland.

8:50 Speaker 7: Yeah, fair, all right, you can just really get away with you know, it's casinos are like it's the most degenerate.

9:00 Speaker 11: It Like, it's the casinos.

9:02 Speaker 7: They're so funny because like it'll be like an old lady sitting at a slought machine, like putting a putting her retirement into a slot machine. And then there's like like a rich millionaire businessman like all in the same all in the same spot, yeah, wasting money.

9:23 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's funny. I've only been in a casino once in my life because I'm not a gambler. But years ago I had gone to see a show at Mohegan's Sun and my friend Dan and I we were just like, he wasn't a gambler either, but I was just like, you know, if I was wanted to just like walk through a casino just to see if it's like if it really is like what you see on TV and in movies, and it kind of was, yeah, we just walked through it, but it was like, you know, I didn't have any interest in gambling, but it's it's interesting to walk through a casino, you know.

9:49 Speaker 7: Yeah, it's a it's a it's an experience, like the lights, the sound. I mean, they do it all on purpose, but yeah, it's like just just walking through a casino, you get, it's like a vibe, you know, it's yeah, it's an experience.

10:03 Speaker 1: Yeah, totally, totally. And where does a What about the name of the album Elephants in the Room. I'm curious about that too.

10:09 Speaker 9: Oh yeah, that was well that's Nick Nick's song. That's a line in a song by Nick.

10:15 Speaker 7: Oh okay, yes, Nick's song Spaces, which is also you know, because we're's space is you know, but he says elephants in the room at one point in the song. Then I think it was actually Jared's idea, like what if we named the album Elephants in the Room.

10:33 Speaker 9: Yeah, and it's the final song on the album. Okay, yeah, I get that at the end and kind of like yeah, you're like, oh, I get it, but it's not the name of the song, which is also I like that.

10:43 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that is cool. Yeah, and I like the cover art too. Who did the cover art is? Did you that the cover art? Yeah?

10:49 Speaker 9: I did that, But it's really a photograph just with the colors adjusted and played with. So it's a photograph of a ceramic mask that we found.

11:01 Speaker 7: It will Yeah, yeah, that that like that mask we found and we were like, we were actually looking for stuff for like, we were like filming something, so we went to a Savers just to find like cool, fun cheap props, and then I saw that and we were like, whoa, this thing is awesome. Yeah, and then Jared took the picture and kind of and.

11:24 Speaker 9: I put the mask on top of an old symbol which reflected light in a cool way, and then I put like a little disco ball I had on the mask, and I just took a couple of pictures and then yeah, it looks like that now it just looks like a weird alien head coming out of a portal or something.

11:44 Speaker 4: Yeah.

11:44 Speaker 1: No, it's cool, it's cool. I dig it. Is that your first full length release as a band or yes, so we have.

11:52 Speaker 7: We had one EP out with like four songs, but this is our first full album.

12:00 Speaker 1: Okay, okay, how long have you guys been together. It has spiks you know, been around for a while or.

12:07 Speaker 9: We've been playing for We've been playing together for probably like eight years. I think the Space Casino Project is.

12:15 Speaker 1: Like forty five years old.

12:17 Speaker 7: Five years yeah, yeah, well because we started the first like Space Casino show was like January twenty twenty, ok, and we were like, this is gonna be our year.

12:29 Speaker 1: Yeah, and then we didn't.

12:31 Speaker 11: We didn't play again until like a year and a half later.

12:34 Speaker 9: But that club closed yeah yeah, yeah, the club.

12:37 Speaker 7: That club closed because of COVID. Yeah, and then we couldn't practice or do anything. But then then when places started opening back up, like twenty twenty one. We we've been going pretty steady since.

12:50 Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, good good, during the during the pandemic, like well like in twenty twenty when you guys, yeah, I mean, well what a way to start, huh yeah yeah, but we we.

13:01 Speaker 7: All we were even jamming together before that. We all went to the same high school.

13:06 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, oh cool.

13:07 Speaker 9: Yeah, actually probably longer than eight years then probably like.

13:10 Speaker 1: Well, I mean jamming together.

13:12 Speaker 7: They they they went to Amherst and then me and my my friend Scott, who was also a musician, like would I would drive up and party with them and Amherst.

13:25 Speaker 9: Yeah okay, yeah, jamming, drink and jam yeah all night.

13:31 Speaker 7: I got the I got the fun parts of college without without having to to actually learn anything.

13:38 Speaker 1: Without without the enormous loan.

13:40 Speaker 9: Yeah.

13:41 Speaker 1: Yeah. Has it always been the same four guys? Is it always space?

13:47 Speaker 4: Yeah?

13:47 Speaker 9: We had we had like our friend Scott was in the band's kind it was kind of like a rotating chairs, but yeah, kind of us three kind of always remain.

13:55 Speaker 7: Yeah, and and for the last we added Chris, but the guy the coach like a few years ago. But like this, this lineup of Space Casino has probably been like the most consistent.

14:10 Speaker 10: Like the four piece, Yeah, has been you know if we kind of started the Space Casino projects.

14:17 Speaker 1: Yeah exactly. And then yeah, yeah, you guys playing a lot of shows these days. Obviously you know where you're from, because we should say too you're from I forgot now, but it's Boston area, yeah yeah, yeah, South South Shore. But we play a lot in like.

14:34 Speaker 7: In like Cambridge, Somerville, like you know, yeah, yeah, we love we love going out to Worcester. Have you ever been to Rolfs Rock Diner?

14:42 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, legendary. Yeah, yeah, that place is so cool. Yeah, we we love playing out real. I haven't been there in a very long time, but yeah I used to when I was still playing in bands. Yeah, we would play there. Yeah, that's a great well Worster. I don't know if they there. Used to be a place there called the Atrium. I don't think that's there anymore, though, is it you heard of the Atrium?

15:01 Speaker 9: Familiar?

15:02 Speaker 1: I ever been though, Yeah, it's probably gone. But that was a really cool place in Wistard. There was a bunch of cool places. But but yeah, so you guys are But I can see where where with your like, do you feel with your sound that you're directly influenced by the Boston music scene, because you you sound like you're of that area, you know what I mean? Like, yes, I don't think so. I don't know.

15:25 Speaker 9: We have a lot of different tastes. I feel like there's a lot more hardcore punk and that kind of energy Boston, but there's also a lot of fusion stuff.

15:35 Speaker 7: Yeah, well, where a lot of times we're like the softest, We're not the softest, you know what I mean, Like we're we're usually like the lightest band on the bill most of most like, uh, there's a lot of really heavy like hardcore, like hoop punk like that sort of scene.

15:53 Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, but but I mean I would say we are still you know, we're still.

15:57 Speaker 10: Slightly we're kind of like heavier. So I guess that makes sense coming from It's in the It's in the water.

16:02 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I mean I was.

16:03 Speaker 9: A big fan of Aerosmith in my younger days, not really these days.

16:06 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that is, well you hear you hear the same six songs on the radio, Yeah exactly, Like yeah, now, because I can imagine like the college crowd really getting into you guys, you know in the Boston area and and you know, college radio and all that. So, now, do any of you also play in other projects? Because it seems like everybody we have on the show lately, everybody's got a million different different projects in addition to whatever they're on the show to talk about.

16:35 Speaker 9: That is I had we have Yeah, actually couch Chris is playing in a acoustic duo with this uh with our friend Katie Okay, and they're really good. They're called the Stops. I guess we'll give him a shout out.

16:47 Speaker 1: Cool.

16:47 Speaker 9: They do covers and Originals acoustic duo. H that's nice. So he does that. I also I have I've played another projects before. It doesn't always sometimes you don't have time for two projects, right right if you really want to get into something. But I know people are in like seven projects.

17:03 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, oh there's some I don't.

17:05 Speaker 7: I know, I don't. I don't get how how people there's so many drummers, like that's like the joke is like, oh, like my drummer's only in four other bands.

17:12 Speaker 1: You know that's been Yeah, that that comes up a lot on this show. Yeah, where every drummer is in multiple bands and I.

17:19 Speaker 7: Don't, I don't understand. I can I barely have time yeah to be in this band. Yeah, So shout out to to those drummers working hard out there. But oh yeah yeah space casino.

17:32 Speaker 12: For me.

17:32 Speaker 1: Yeah we do.

17:34 Speaker 9: We do sometimes make like short films we were talking about earlier, So that's kind of like a side thing we do.

17:40 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, tell me more about that. I'm curious. Yeah, yeah, we well we did one.

17:45 Speaker 9: We did forty eight hour film fests.

17:47 Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah.

17:48 Speaker 9: So you you get like a you get a couple of like you get a line of dialogue to use, you get a character name and occupation, and then you get everybody gets a different genre. So literally you get on Friday, seven o'clock, you get a you get all your criteria, you have to use the movie, and you have to turn it in two days later at seven o'clock. So take a weekend. It's fun. Yeah, I'm very cool. And then so we you know, we made like a little week Our genre was like crime, yeah genre, so we kind of did our own little like Tarantino movie where oh wow, yeah, there's no gun involved.

18:24 Speaker 10: It's supposed to be like two minutes long, and we never have we never leave enough time actually edit and you know, yeah we buy everything. We come out with like a fifteen minute movie. Yeah that doesn't count for anything, right, yeah, yeah, but.

18:39 Speaker 1: We have fun making it. Yeah yeah. Yeah. The one of our my favorite one we did was.

18:45 Speaker 7: Is called the Florist Job, because there was that was the the occupation they gave us was florists. Okay, so it's like it's a florist that gets his wife is six, so it's involved in in being like a getaway driver. It's really ridiculous, ridiculous, yeah yeah, but it's it's fun.

19:10 Speaker 1: So what what happens to these if you know, if if it's too long to enter into the festival or whatever, I can't win anything, I guess. But you've done. Put them on YouTube. Yeah, yeah, they're on They're on YouTube. Channel is.

19:23 Speaker 9: Channel is Big Monday Films. That's like film.

19:26 Speaker 10: Okay, company name. Oh, I got to check that out. Yeah, there's a link on our on our website and our link tree. Okay, yeah, oh very cool.

19:35 Speaker 9: Anyone's interested. Yeah, it's it's all four band members playing and playing different characters. It's really funny.

19:41 Speaker 1: Yeah, that makes you guys unique. You're definitely the first band we've ever had on the Show's like, oh, by the way, we also make short films and we're all in the film. That's really cool. Yeah, really cool.

19:51 Speaker 11: And we put our we put our our music into the like I put us on the radio.

19:58 Speaker 1: That was smart. Yeah, I mean why wouldn't you? Yeah, no, that's great. That's really cool.

20:03 Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, it's fun. We have a lot of fun making them. We still have to make it's funny. We've made like two short films, but we still haven't done our own music video.

20:12 Speaker 1: I think we got to do that next. Yeah, that's funny.

20:15 Speaker 9: That's funny, and he wants to help with that.

20:19 Speaker 1: Well, we should play another track we want to play. We talked about Summer Breeze.

20:23 Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, that sounds great.

20:24 Speaker 11: Play one next, this is a this is Nick's song.

20:28 Speaker 1: Okay, Nick on lead vocals on this one.

20:30 Speaker 9: Yeah, the master mind of the band.

20:32 Speaker 1: All right, very good. If you are just joining us. We have Space Casino here with us in studio, and we're gonna hear another track from Elephants in the room and this is called Summer Breeze.

21:05 Speaker 13: Put in my side, shod spine, wondering thing, Sid try.

21:17 Speaker 8: I'm live with, so insisted my mother with your set side my mummy cry, mummy you we have to stop,

22:29 Speaker 8: you have to store, you.

23:00 Speaker 4: Be gone.

23:04 Speaker 14: So they said a pression roll stity the wall, so closing what its t scab seen.

23:25 Speaker 5: Tracks in.

23:35 Speaker 4: My out train? You sill some citys twisting.

24:43 Speaker 1: I love it. That is so good. That is called Summer Breeze. The band is a Space Casino and we've got three quarters of Space Casino here with us in studio. Uh and I love that. Nick. I love your voice on that too.

24:56 Speaker 9: Oh, thank you so much.

24:57 Speaker 1: And that's actually you're you're playing the guitar solo on that.

25:00 Speaker 10: Yeah, So I wrote the bass track at first, and we kind of layered up everything. I love how the harmonies come together on that chorus. It's just like very very vast, like dense sound, which is really nice. And then on top I just laid a quick, beautiful guitar solo.

25:19 Speaker 1: Yeah, everything about that is really good. How about that? Is that a crowd favorite when you play that one last?

25:26 Speaker 4: Yeah?

25:27 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, very cool, very cool. Where did you record the album? Sounds incredible? Where so?

25:34 Speaker 7: Actually huge shout out Ugly Robot Studios, which is in Quincy, Massachusetts.

25:41 Speaker 15: Kevin Grady. Yeah, we really did a really nice job, did a great job. Yeah, we recorded the whole thing there. It's also right down the street from my house, so that's nice. Nice, But we recorded the whole thing there. We met him through he's he's in a couple of bands. We met him through like, you know, doing shows, and then he mentioned that like he because we met him at a he was doing a house show in his studio and then he ye, but but he's he's done it up. You know, it's it's it's well done. And yeah, they do a lot of shows there, and so we met him through like playing music, and he mentioned that he he records bands.

26:28 Speaker 15: So then we decided to give it a try, and then we were like, oh definitely, you know, because at first we were like, well, let's go in and see see how it is. But then after a couple of sessions, we were like, oh, yeah, we're definitely doing the whole album.

26:42 Speaker 9: Yeah he gets it.

26:43 Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, good good sound engineer.

26:46 Speaker 7: And also you know, gives good gives good pointers, but isn't like, you know, he's not trying to tell you, he's not trying to produce it, but you know, he'll throw out a suggestion usually it's a good one.

26:57 Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, oh that's cool. Yeah, there's so many options as far as you know, especially in your area where you guys are from. There's a you know, it's funny too because there was a time when people kind of predicted that recording studios would be a thing of the past at some point, because you have so many options now, like you can you can record at home and come up with something that sounds like it was done in a million dollar studio, you know. Yeah, but but in reality, I mean, recording studios are still thriving, even though a lot of musicians are finding other ways to record too.

27:30 Speaker 7: So, yeah, well the thing is, and we did we you know, we self recorded things in the past, and like, I mean, you're yeah, I mean I've heard, you know, some people are really good at it. But I think for us, we just wanted to focus the thing about when you're doing it yourself, you're also like, you're you're not just focusing on the music, you.

27:55 Speaker 1: Know what I mean.

27:56 Speaker 11: It's nice to when you just have somebody else doing it for you.

27:59 Speaker 1: Yeah, don't have to.

28:00 Speaker 7: Worry about your dog crashing or you know, your your lexicon, you know. Yeah, So I think for us we were like, well, no, let's let's go to a studio, have them do it. That way, we can just focus on, you know, giving it the best takes we can, you know.

28:18 Speaker 4: Yeah.

28:18 Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, I mean I feel like nowadays you just have so many jobs as an artist, so you have to like your marketer, that's true, your producer, everything.

28:26 Speaker 1: Yeah.

28:26 Speaker 9: So yeah, if you can afford it to take away one of those jobs, I feel like it's worth it helps you focus on the other ones.

28:32 Speaker 1: Yeah, that makes sense. Yeah, you plan to record with him again? In the future. Yeah.

28:36 Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, we're working on like a new LPH.

28:39 Speaker 1: You are, ok, Yeah, if you already started.

28:42 Speaker 9: We start recording like nothing nothing advertised yet, but on the horizon it will be coming out probably next year.

28:48 Speaker 1: Oh very cool, very cool. Yeah yeah, full album.

28:53 Speaker 7: Yeah probably yea, yeah, yeah we might. I mean we might even just release a song, you know, the the first song. We might just release it, see what happens. Yeah, Eleven's in the Room we released in January, so it's still kind of pretty fresh.

29:09 Speaker 1: But yeah, but there's no sense in.

29:11 Speaker 9: H yeah, you can only play the same songs for so long, right, Yeah, so we got to come up with new stuff right right now?

29:17 Speaker 1: That makes sense? Do you guys do you play anything? Is there anything that you play live that you haven't that hasn't released been released yet that you're kind of Sometimes sometimes bands will kind of workshop material, you know, in front of an audience and yeah.

29:31 Speaker 9: Yeah, we've done that. Yeah.

29:34 Speaker 2: Yeah.

29:34 Speaker 10: We try and cycle in like a couple different tunes every show just to kind of keep it, you know, lively, keep it mixed up.

29:42 Speaker 9: So we have a couple, you know, in the works.

29:44 Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, and then sometimes we'll bring back like really old stuff. Like one of the songs that, like one of Jared's songs that he just went back to start recording is a song from like before Eve in our first like LP really he but.

30:03 Speaker 1: Then he was.

30:03 Speaker 9: We'll also go we'll also play old songs like from the first EP and like we'll change a part or modify it in a way or add add something new to it just to keep it fresh.

30:14 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah that makes sense. Yeah, yeah, very cool. Uh do you guys want to play we should play another one from the album? Of course, I elephants in the room. What do you guys want to play next? Totally up to you.

30:25 Speaker 9: I guess you give Chris the song? Yeah, I think maybe past Men, Yeah, or we can do rain on too. Oh it's the other like single maybe Oh yeah, right, it's a single, which one. Let's try rain on raining Outside?

30:41 Speaker 1: Yeah? Oh that's true. Yeah, very very apropos Yeah, I guess it's supposed to rain all day from what I From what I understand, If you're just joining us on Saturday, we do have a space casino here with us alive in studio and we're going to play another track from this incredible album. Well, I'm waiting for that. Anything here comes that, well, anything, I'll ask anyway. Anything we should know about this track before we play it.

31:05 Speaker 9: That's written by Chris from the Couch. All right, yeah, I don't know. He's not here to talk about that's true.

31:13 Speaker 1: Yeah, he's not here, alright.

31:15 Speaker 7: If features some nice cowbo work from me.

31:17 Speaker 10: Yeah, almost more of like an acoustic It was based around acoustic guitar at first, so it's maybe like a lighter sense of the album.

31:26 Speaker 1: Okay, all right, very cool, So we'll give this a spin. This is called rain On and the band is a Space Casino.

32:12 Speaker 4: I have come on, I cannot only see so if I do not need you gay, yeah, I do not need you that so wonder still free, do not need you? Man? Do not need you? Man? Dream in hard you dream? It s.

35:13 Speaker 1: Another great track that is called rain On. That is from the album Elephants in the Room and the band is a Space Casino. We have three of the guys from Space Casino here, and the gentleman who sings on that song and wrote it is He's So that's Chris from the Couch, right, yes, yes, but a great song though, Yeah, really really good. You know, we were kind of talking off air while I was playing. I said his vocal delivery, he kind of reminds me a little bit of Bono and it's really good.

35:43 Speaker 9: Yeah, we were making we were we heard a little bit of Irish rogue in his singing in the studio once and it was a lot of fun. Yeah, yeah, but yeah, great, Yeah, I like his his guitar parts. He wrote most of them. There really nice.

35:58 Speaker 1: Are any of those songs on the album? Is there anything that is difficult or was difficult to play live because it's, you know, the materials pretty sophisticated in terms of the different parts.

36:10 Speaker 9: And actually that.

36:12 Speaker 10: Song, more than anything, I feel like Chris throws on like a cape o. He switches from acoustic one show, then he'll do electric at the other show.

36:22 Speaker 1: Yeh.

36:22 Speaker 9: And it's just kind of it's always.

36:24 Speaker 10: Been one where maybe we don't want to play it, you know, I don't want to put my capo on my guitar or whatever.

36:29 Speaker 9: Other songs are definitely like trickier than others, but we play them all live.

36:34 Speaker 12: Yeah.

36:34 Speaker 9: Yeah, that one particular is a little that's probably one of the trickiest, but it's a lot of fun too.

36:40 Speaker 7: Yeah, there's definitely for for me on the drums. There were definitely a few songs. There's another song, another one of Chris's songs is called Pashmina Blues where I'm doing a pretty fast like high hat part and you know, in the studio you get multiple takes so you can just do it. But by the end when we play that song live, by the end of that song, my right arm is like burning, and then I'm like, why, why what was I doing in the studio?

37:12 Speaker 1: What was I on that day?

37:13 Speaker 11: Yeah, but but it's it sounds great.

37:16 Speaker 9: It keeps us awake, you know, all the all the changes and little uh syncrasies.

37:21 Speaker 1: Yeah. Is it important to you guys to be able to replicate that live exactly how you recorded it or Yeah.

37:27 Speaker 10: We we try to our utmost ability to Sometimes it doesn't come to fruition, but yeah, it's a it's a challenge.

37:34 Speaker 9: It's it's nice to be challenged by our songs. Still.

37:37 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

37:39 Speaker 9: Sometimes life we'll even we we do do that, but sometimes we'll even try it. Well, like I said before, we would, uh we change a little bit of the song to do live. So sometimes we'll yeah, we'll mess with the song.

37:50 Speaker 7: Yeah, well we'll change it for us, We'll change things up. But we do try to not we try not to let it be we like, we try not to rely on the studio magic, you know what I mean, Like if we like, we'll change it up, but not changing it in a way of like, oh, let's skip that part because it's too hard to replicate what you know what I mean? Yeah, because sometimes it is, you know, it would be easy to do that, yeah, yeah, but we try to We try to challenge ourselves to do it. They were definitely, I mean for me, there were a lot of like like fills and weird little things I did in like I would practice.

38:32 Speaker 7: For the first few months after we released the album, I was practicing on there. I was listening to the album, practicing drums to my drums, like listening to my drums, trying to replicate what I did because I was like what what what?

38:49 Speaker 11: What did I do in the studio that day?

38:51 Speaker 1: Like what is this pill?

38:53 Speaker 7: But I eventually got most of it down. Sometimes I still struggle, yeah, yeah.

38:58 Speaker 9: Yeah, personally, I feel like I don't even want it if I go to a band's a band's show, a concert. I don't even always want to hear record perfect version of the song. I want to hear like a new tale. I got a live, fresh on the spot take of it.

39:12 Speaker 1: That's how I tend to feel about it.

39:14 Speaker 7: Yeah, sometimes it sometimes it's upset, it's kind of it's kind of a letdown when it sounds exactly like the album. Yeah, especially if the I mean, if it sounds exactly like the album but your your stage presence is like stunning, then that's one thing. But yeah, there there have been times I've gone two shows where it's like it's just the band standing there and it sounds exactly like the album, and then they get off stage and it's like I basically just I spent fifty dollars to listen to the album in a room.

39:47 Speaker 1: You know what I mean?

39:48 Speaker 5: Right right?

39:49 Speaker 10: Yeah?

39:49 Speaker 9: I did see Like I had an experience I went to see in New Jersey. I went to see the Strokes opening for Red Hot Chili Peppers, and the Strokes are like my all time favorite bands. Yeah, Pili Peppers are in the top ten for sure, Yeah, but my favorite bands. They sounded exactly I was like, I was also very very far away from the stadium, but they sounded very album perfect really and it was great. I loved him. But then when the Chili Peppers came on, the Chili Peppers are jamming, They're throwing in little little jams in between songs, and the songs they're playing are have a life of their own.

40:23 Speaker 9: Yeah and uh yeah, so.

40:26 Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't think I feel like they don't play anything the same way, at least not exactly.

40:32 Speaker 10: They're always yeah, shout out to Flee. He needs us to show Yeah, yeah, I wanted to talk about that. Everyone knows Flee No, but he.

40:45 Speaker 1: Is an incredible bass player, absolutely, yeah, absolutely. I wish my fingers could move that fast. There's a guy who's been on the show. I don't know if you know, Aaron bid H. He's he's from up here, but he's he's been on the show and he's playing a bunch of bands, but he does a lot of solo work too, and and he comes in and you know, he sets up this whole he's got this whole thing that he plays along too, that he'll he'll come in here and he'll he'll play and I just spend the entire time, just watching his fingers because he can play like Flee.

41:14 Speaker 1: You know, it's just incredible bass lines. And I'm just like, you know, I'm a bass player, so I'm just sitting there, you know, just just watching his fingers the entire time. But yeah, no, but yeah, Flee Flee is definitely one of the one of the greats. We should I want to make sure we have time to fit in one more, well technically two more, because we'll play one more now and then we'll play one more at the at the very end of the segment. But uh, the album is so good, I do want to make sure we have time to what what should we what should we go to next?
