Welcome, thanks for having us, and hello, and there's an actual oh, let me get that hamra on you for those watching online. And we have an actual robot in studio with us too. Here.

0:59 Speaker 1: Oh you were just and the you're low apologize. I can hear it now? Yeah you now, now I can hear you?

1:05 Speaker 6: Can you hear me?

1:05 Speaker 7: Now?

1:07 Speaker 1: We've got we've got an extra mic set up because these guys are gonna play live for us in a few minutes and really looking forward to that because you know what I'm interested in is because listening to the tracks and I love these songs, but I'm very curious to hear how you sound with an acoustic guitar. After after hearing these studio tracks, you know.

1:24 Speaker 2: Yeah, we are too at it. And it was like, yeah, let's do this, and I was like for really everything.

1:31 Speaker 1: So this is this is an unusual uh scenario here with the first really Oh we love yes, yes, we do like that very much, very much.

1:40 Speaker 3: I have so few firsts left.

1:43 Speaker 1: Now, that's never true. There's always something good. And uh, where are you all from? I assume you're you're probably a little bit scattered, right, but you're based where where are you? Where do you say? You're based out of Sportsmouth? Sportsmouth? Yeah, great, great music scene there, Portsmith.

2:00 Speaker 3: I feel we're the best of it.

2:03 Speaker 1: I mean as far as as far as New Hampshire goes, I think I think Portsmouth is kind of in terms of the music, see the coolest, the hippest place in the state, really coolest, well in terms of music, Yeah, just just in like like Portsmouth. To me, I've always kind of thought of it as like Boston North you know what, I mean, it's like North. I don't know that Portsmouth would agree. That's that's you know. I certainly mean it as a compliment, I know.

2:28 Speaker 4: But their Way Through Ride did come by there and play who did the British shoegaze bend?

2:39 Speaker 2: Uh?

2:39 Speaker 3: Yeah?

2:40 Speaker 1: Well there you go. Yeah, they didn't come to Manchester, did they?

2:43 Speaker 8: No?

2:43 Speaker 3: They did not.

2:46 Speaker 1: Well let's let's I'm gonna let you all pick what should we play for a studio track, and then we'll you send me I love these songs, and then we'll actually maybe can I pick? Can I be Selfish? And can we play Lonely Nights?

2:58 Speaker 9: Yeah?

2:58 Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, because that's my favor I usually let the guests pick, but that's my personal favorite. I love this song so much. It as catchy as hell?

3:05 Speaker 3: Wasn't that what we were going to play on the and the acoustic?

3:10 Speaker 10: Yeah that's okay, that's a bit.

3:18 Speaker 8: Maybe.

3:19 Speaker 1: Well I don't know, all right, Well we can we can play something else?

3:22 Speaker 6: So confusing?

3:26 Speaker 1: We could?

3:26 Speaker 2: We could?

3:27 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true, we could. We could play the Ouiji board song. What's the full title of that?

3:32 Speaker 3: Since you broke my wija board?

3:35 Speaker 1: I have a question too. Before we play this now, I've always heard of pronounced, but you pronounce it more like it's actually spelled.

3:42 Speaker 3: Yes, that's because I actually speak German.

3:44 Speaker 1: Probably Oh, no, kidding, Okay, so that is so so the way you're saying it is the correct pronunciation osia.

3:51 Speaker 3: Yeah.

3:52 Speaker 1: I always wondered because growing up, so my mother had one, and we in the summer when I would would spend the summers with her because she lives in another part of the country, and she would she would pull out the wigi board or oija. I don't know if I can get used to say, well, I can't pronounce it exactly the way you say it anyway, because I can't do the accent. But much to the consternation of my father, who found out many years later that that we were doing that, my great devout Catholic father did not approve.

4:17 Speaker 1: But but then so that was what I thought about the first time I saw that song title, and then I played it and I was like, oh, she pronounces it differently, but the way she pronounces it is it looks like the way it's actually spelled. Because I always wondered, are we saying it wrong.

4:30 Speaker 3: Because well, it's just yes in French and yes in German. We oh yeah, no kidding, yes, so I re knew that.

4:37 Speaker 4: Yeah, actually, if you were pronouncing it then it would be we yah. But that's that's not for an english person to get involved with.

4:46 Speaker 3: So just stop at wija wow.

4:49 Speaker 1: Okay, all right, let's give this a spin and then we're going to come back and talk a little bit. And here it is, and the band is replaced by robots.

5:05 Speaker 8: They told me nice, they gave me advice. They do so must someone nice never lead the.

5:18 Speaker 11: Side set wija b w I can't talk to these numb.

5:49 Speaker 1: She see a route uigian.

5:51 Speaker 10: Bog and I can't talk to look us No.

5:55 Speaker 6: Un, says you.

5:57 Speaker 8: A route ouija boat.

6:11 Speaker 7: Sad so sad.

6:20 Speaker 2: So sad, the s.

7:11 Speaker 7: S smass, the game advice, the evening guest so.

7:39 Speaker 8: Summers. So that's now.

7:45 Speaker 1: So that heart at the end is such a cool touch. Not not what you were doing, gree Casian, but the.

8:48 Speaker 2: That little pre Adams Adams insane piano.

8:53 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that that's that's really cool. I like the way it because it's kind of it's kind of a surprise. You don't expect to hear that at the end. But if it's a perfectly. The band, of course, is replaced by robots. We are here with us live in studio, and the song Heather, how do you pronounce it correctly? Again?

9:08 Speaker 3: Weija oija since you broke my wija board.

9:12 Speaker 1: Since you broke my wija board. All right, So do you want to tell that you were telling it off? Are you want to tell?

9:17 Speaker 12: Yeah?

9:17 Speaker 4: Well, we were in the middle of a rehearsal, and then I went into the little terror room on the side where we used to where we record, and I've got all my little relics and oddities laying around there, and I noticed that Gucasian had taken my antique oija board, yeah, and.

9:35 Speaker 3: Stuffed it into a bag and he broke it.

9:40 Speaker 4: And I was so upset, and I went back into the room, and you know, we're all just kind of jamming and and they're like lyrics Morgan. So then I just started singing, since you broke my oija board, I can't talk to the ghost no more. And we just kept going. We just wrote the whole thing right there. That's cool, channeling my marital rage.

10:03 Speaker 1: Yeah. Sure, are you sure it was him? You sure it wasn't It was It wasn't The robots.

10:09 Speaker 6: It's not really broke.

10:10 Speaker 3: It's broken.

10:11 Speaker 2: It was it's like a little like a little ding in the side of it.

10:16 Speaker 1: Well that's what I was wondering.

10:17 Speaker 4: Yeah, it was perfect before I met you. It was perfect since nineteen nineteen.

10:23 Speaker 1: Oh wow, it really is. Oh wow?

10:26 Speaker 13: Yeah?

10:26 Speaker 1: And then so what it's good? So it's just got a ding in it or a crack or.

10:29 Speaker 2: What broken is a little overly dramatic?

10:32 Speaker 1: Okay, okay?

10:34 Speaker 6: Yeah great for song lyrics?

10:35 Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, absolutely, very cool. Well, I'm dying to hear you all play live. If you are just joining your nest replaced by robots? Is here with us live in studio?

14:41 Speaker 3: I put my toe out of line. I'm gonna get it later.

14:45 Speaker 1: Oh my well, no, no, no worries. So now how do you Everyone always say it's this question, but how do you describe your music to people who haven't heard it? Because there's obviously a tremendous mix of influences and you have you know, you've all played in other bands and have different backgrounds and earliest I assume so. And by the way, Heather, are you you're also an oil painter? Correct?

15:06 Speaker 3: Yes, I am trained, Yeah, trained trained.

15:10 Speaker 1: Jenny's an artist and I am not trained.

15:13 Speaker 8: I am.

15:15 Speaker 1: But so curious. So how do you describe your or do you even try? Or do you just play it and say?

15:20 Speaker 4: When I spam, when I send out males about our about our upcoming shows, I always say the world's most prominent rock band, if you're interested in in that. But usually I say, you can tell what we love. You can tell that we love nineties alternative. You can tell we like the Pixies, the Cure and and Girl Group. I gotta ask punk rock.

15:44 Speaker 1: Are you influenced by Blondie?

15:46 Speaker 15: Oh?

15:46 Speaker 3: Absolutely, because I'm like I thought, I'm like.

15:49 Speaker 10: She's gotta be I was a Blondie fanily Oh yeah, And I can hear with you like.

15:53 Speaker 3: That is so called first concert I ever went to?

15:55 Speaker 8: Was really?

15:56 Speaker 4: Was it Meadow Lens brendan Burn Arena? It was ever Under an opening for Blondie. Yeah, of course, yeah, I was like nine, Yes, of course?

16:10 Speaker 1: So did we ever? Yeah? So I mean, what do you so? What do you call it?

16:15 Speaker 2: Like?

16:15 Speaker 1: Do you try to put a label on what you do.

16:17 Speaker 4: Or well that's usually what we hear in our reviews is kind of genre busting. But you can tell what we like, you know, if you if you like the uh you know Bauhaus, You're like, oh, you know, I hear a little of that. I mean, Adam over here is an encyclopedia of underground music, so he can just pop in.

16:39 Speaker 3: Whatever influences we're thinking about that day.

16:42 Speaker 6: Nice, nice kind of pop goth. Yeah, dance dance pop.

16:46 Speaker 1: God dance pop goth. I like that. Yeah.

16:48 Speaker 2: And one of the things that when we came up with the name Replaced by Robots, what we kind of loved about it was like it didn't hidge and hold us into anything because it and like we'll write songs and then we're like, this is not like what we do, but it fits in. Like everything fits in with that name, you.

17:09 Speaker 1: Know what I mean?

17:14 Speaker 3: I love it A good pigeonhole.

17:16 Speaker 1: Well, where so where does the name come from? Replaced by Robots?

17:20 Speaker 4: I mean, I Uh, we were tossing around ideas and uh, I just came up with that out of the kind of out of the blue. But uh, it had something to do with a kind of disappointment in the algorithm driven of todayis of music and uh, you know, and also people's livelihoods and just everything. Yeah, and uh and to me that was I mean, it could be a way of saying that we're robots, or it could be a way of saying we are obsolete bohemians, and you know, maybe a little of both. Sure, we play with we play with all of those ideas, and once we uh picked up on that concept, it became so much fun to play with with our videos, with our writing, and so yeah, yeah, right guys, Yeah, absolutely, And and.

18:11 Speaker 1: What about the themes, like lyrical themes in your songs? I mean, is there anything specific that you're trying to convey or are you trying to I saw, you know, the word when I was reading about the band, the word futuristic came up quite a bit. But I don't know if I mean a song like Lonely Nights that's not that's not anything futuristic. That's just something relatable. Maybe that's why I like that song so much. Aside from that, it's very catchy. It's something everyone can relate to, right.

18:35 Speaker 3: But well, yeah, Heartbreak and the Apocalypse go.

18:41 Speaker 2: Yeah, Like I feel like at a core always like very emotional, you know, like like I love soul music, but I don't like listening to it. But I like the concept.

18:53 Speaker 1: Oh okay, very interesting, very interesting, what's your what's your live show? Alike? Because because what you do lends itself to I assume the robot is big.

19:07 Speaker 2: He's like, we put him out front and he just kind of dances, yeah, and then people kind of want to come dance with him.

19:14 Speaker 1: Oh that's cool.

19:15 Speaker 2: Yeah, but we just have fun.

19:17 Speaker 3: Man, we're very high energy.

19:19 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's spectral and uh and and uh and luminous, mesmerizing. We've been told little things mesmerizing and uh and I mean we're we're a tough actor. Follow Literally, bands who have to go on after us are like, oh, man, like what what am I going to do? Those guys that they're weird and they're also like so driving that it may take a couple of songs for for a person to reclaim the space.

19:47 Speaker 1: Sure, and that's cool. Ooh yeah, that's that's very cool. Yeah.

19:53 Speaker 2: Both Adam and I come from really intense like uh, like punk rock band.

19:59 Speaker 1: Yeah. So you were in the Elevator Drop, okay, because I remember that band?

20:04 Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, and oh go ahead, yeah, and Adam was in a funeral party, which was and we knew each other in Boston. Oh no, kidding can make the whole thing makes no sense. We shared a rehearsal space and he reminded me, I I have like the worst memory.

20:20 Speaker 1: Yeah, and I was like, oh my god.

20:21 Speaker 2: So we were like, like we shared a rehearsal space together in Boston. Then he was like, my neighbor up here.

20:27 Speaker 1: Oh wow, so this is there is an element of fate to this, right. We were destined. We had a band together.

20:33 Speaker 4: We all came together at a we we hosted the Chameleons in their kind of acoustic form a Chameleons Box, play a show at our house and uh, and we invited Adam to the party. He's a huge band, and it was it was a great night. It was a it was a great show. And then we ended up deciding to play together at that show.

20:54 Speaker 1: Okay, okay. And then how long after you decided to play together, how long did it take to get the project? And not too long?

21:01 Speaker 3: No, like a month?

21:02 Speaker 1: Really that's quick, Yeah, that's quick. But that's when you know you've got something right. I always say this when you when you have something that you know, gels quickly, you know, and it's not a lot of effort, you know, to try to put something together. It just kind of happens, and you know, you've really got something totally.

21:16 Speaker 6: I think it's forty three days, three days.

21:19 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, unlike Loukas and Adam has a very good memory apparently.

21:25 Speaker 1: Yeah.

21:26 Speaker 3: And it's like a soup. Everything is all mixed together.

21:30 Speaker 4: He just dips the ladle in and spills it out and yeah, all years intermingled, all the fact.

21:36 Speaker 6: How this is the spoon on the bowl.

21:38 Speaker 1: Yeah, I see soup, I see, I see.

21:44 Speaker 3: We are for his madness.

21:47 Speaker 1: Okay, okay, well I think we should play another studio track. So we talked off air about this, so this is not one of the ones you sent me, but I do have a queue up right. Where do you get here?

22:00 Speaker 12: It is?

22:01 Speaker 1: Are we falling in love? Or am I just losing my mind? I really like this song too, And this is of course we haven't talked about this yet. We'll talk about the experiment, the EP that you've released a little bit on the other side of this. But but let's give this a listen, because I really like this song a lot. And if you are just joining us, we do have replaced replaced by robots here with us in studio and uh, let's uh, let's give this a spend. This is called are we falling in love? Or am I just losing my mind?

22:35 Speaker 12: Jesse spending a lone out the altar case goud it's such a beautiful nice sometimes.

23:18 Speaker 5: A list of the sector, the lasting times, the sensors.

24:09 Speaker 7: As were porn.

24:09 Speaker 3: Sure know the difecious shot?

24:17 Speaker 1: Oh are we falling in love? Am I just losing my mind? The band is replaced by robots, and we have replaced by robots here with us live in studio. What are you gonna say, Jenny? Oh, I'm sorry.

24:53 Speaker 2: I wasn't gonna say anything.

24:54 Speaker 1: Oh okay.

24:54 Speaker 10: I thought about it for a moment and then went down.

24:56 Speaker 1: Oh okay. It was like it was a fleeting thing. I understood, understood, okay, I was going to That sounds nice when you say things.

25:03 Speaker 2: Well, were you going to say, I'm not telling you?

25:05 Speaker 1: Okay?

25:07 Speaker 2: Fine, nobody say it to you.

25:11 Speaker 3: You promised you would behaved surprises that he.

25:15 Speaker 6: Doesn't talk about.

25:16 Speaker 3: Oh my goodness, you're shortening. Yes, oh you may growl now.

25:25 Speaker 1: But you will see. So tell us about the the ep uh the experiment? Where did where did you record this? And how did you record it? And it sounds great? We recorded it at our house, okay.

25:42 Speaker 2: But then like, uh, it was really good. So like we had certain songs where we we brought that song that you just played to uh Hagar that Uh he was in Elevator Drops. He's in Devo now really he's right, he's a producer. His brother's nuts he Uh he does like all the Miley Cyrus records and Josh's is his brother. And we were, you know, Elevator ups forever and so we mixed that there, and then we mixed Lonely Nights with Colderry, who's amazing. He does not all the Pixies records and the Go Gos and yeah, and there.

26:27 Speaker 2: It's funny because there was one part originally in that song which there was a little snippet of a Go Go song, didn't we didn't know what it was. Adam was playing it and we knew or he probably knew, and he pulled it out and and I found out later that he also uh produced.

26:47 Speaker 17: Oh wow, So he wanted to bury it was my intentional nod to the Go Gos, and he kind of wanted to bury in the mix as to avoid any litigation.

26:56 Speaker 4: Oh really, Actually I think it was more like, hey, he didn't want to whole focus off our amazing tune.

27:02 Speaker 3: And suddenly being like, oh, I want to listen to the Go.

27:05 Speaker 6: Gos right right, the Go Go effect.

27:08 Speaker 2: Yeah, because I for for a lot of years I would always pull in quotes from other songs and it was really enlightening. I was, you know, like you learned from a producer. And I really like that that input because like it makes you strive to stay original, which is hard in this day and age with all the influences of other music around you. So it's awesome. It's like, especially with what we do, we definitely have a lot of influences, but we do we work hard to make it still be you know.

27:46 Speaker 1: Right right, Yeah, yeah, that can be a challenge, of course. Yeah, absolutely absolutely. And you've got a lot of shows coming up too. You're talking about that off here, right, You got some uh.

27:55 Speaker 4: Yeah, we're playing September eighteenth at the stone Church excellent, and we're playing in October on the tenth at the Appohadian in Portland.

28:05 Speaker 1: Yeah.

28:05 Speaker 2: And the the one that's coming up in stone Church, we've got like the Glimmer Stars. It's their first date of their tour. They're from l A Hollywood area and they're coming out here and that's the first date, and so we're kind of psyched and we're playing with us versus the Man Polana versus the Man.

28:24 Speaker 1: Okay, and the.

28:28 Speaker 2: The Cretans who are like they have there's some like they're like a punk rock they're they're friends with the queers and all that that that whole old Boston Hampshire, Boston scene.

28:41 Speaker 3: So it's it's gonna be David Paint like.

28:46 Speaker 12: This.

28:47 Speaker 3: This is a new rasp that we don't usually.

28:50 Speaker 1: Have, well, but it is. It is nine am on on a Saturday morning. It's something to get you going in the morning. That's right. There you go, there you go.

28:59 Speaker 3: I just this guy up at a truck stops, not the.

29:03 Speaker 6: Actual Dave, the real Dave actually coming by.

29:06 Speaker 10: Yeah, boy, Pat sorry, I can help it. You got to blame retro, right, right?

29:20 Speaker 1: So are there are there plans to record new more music sooner? This hasn't been out for very long actually, right, so you're probably still.

29:28 Speaker 6: Yeah, we'll got some new stuff in the works.

29:30 Speaker 2: We're super excited that we have a couple of tracks already done and we might we're trying to figure out what this day and age is so like bonkers. We might just release like a single, because putting out a record is so weird it doesn't even make sense. No one wants records. They want like they want song and they want another one. So we might just put them out and then them into a bin and put the bin out side and package it and make a record.

30:03 Speaker 6: Yeah, dump it out all over the street. Yeah, I get at kids.

30:09 Speaker 1: Well, that is though, I mean, that's how a lot of I mean, there's so many different ways you can release music now, right, But but that but that approach of kind of the inverse of what it used to be, right, because it used to be you know, you have an album and then you have a bunch of singles from the album. And now a lot of artists who they put out a series of singles and eventually coal less into an album.

30:25 Speaker 17: And yeah, it's really retro too, because that's really you know, the old fifties rock and roll, it was all about singles.

30:30 Speaker 6: That's true.

30:30 Speaker 1: You know, I hadn't even thought.

30:31 Speaker 6: About a full circle back to the beginning.

30:33 Speaker 1: Yeah that's a good point. Yeah, that's true.

30:35 Speaker 3: Grab our dollar and go into the studio box music, walk out in our little forty five.

30:40 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no, that makes sense. And then do you have any have you done any videos yet for any of these songs? Oh, they all have videos. I'm gonna I'm gonna have to go check those out. Yeah yeah, because I'm really curious about that.

30:53 Speaker 2: You can see all of them that replaced by robots do space. We couldn't afford dot com.

31:01 Speaker 6: Oh, I had my son's dress up as ghosts for the Ouiji board video.

31:05 Speaker 1: Oh really, yeah, Oh, I got to check that out. I gotta check that out. Let's play another one. I want to get these all in before we run out of time, because, like I said, I love your sound. The title track, Oh no, it's not the title track. I'm sorry, but laboratory. I don't know why. No, the the EV has called the experiment. I don't know why I was thinking this was the title track. See I also at you know, nine am on a Saturday. I have issues on my own, but but plus I only had like two SIPs of my Monster Energy drink so far.

31:32 Speaker 1: That's that's my issue. But let's give this a listen. This is a short song, this is under two minutes, but but it's it's good stuff. And then we'll come back and talk a little more. If you are just joining us. We have replaced by Robots here with us a live in studio on this Saturday morning on Matt Connorton Unleashed Here it is laboratory by Replaced by Robots.

32:05 Speaker 5: Stops stop.

33:43 Speaker 1: That is a short song. The Indians knock up on me there, but I like it laboratory And so what what are you saying?

33:50 Speaker 2: In those?

33:50 Speaker 1: Because we were talking off there about this, This is a common question. What are you What are you saying there?

33:54 Speaker 4: Either in those I'm saying ha ha ha okay, because it is funny, yes to say ha ha ha.

34:06 Speaker 1: We were talking about yeah, how people people always wonder what it is that you're saying. I wondered it too when I was listening to it. I thought, when I listened to it the first time, I thought, it sounds like she's just saying ha ha ha. But I'm not sure you know that thing, and my ears don't always hear everything correctly.

34:20 Speaker 3: Either, experience mirth with me, see as you are doing. Yes, we are all very happy.

34:29 Speaker 1: Yeah, Replaced by Robots is here with us, live in studio and where should people go online? We want to make sure everybody knows where's the best place to find you online for to keep up with everything that you're doing.

34:45 Speaker 2: Replaced by robots, that's space space. I actually we did try to buy dot com, but he wasn't at it was like six seven dollars more, but that ends up every month, well.

34:58 Speaker 1: Not only that year, not only that. But I think because you've got kind of a futuristic vibe, right, I think space is better anyway? Right, I agree, Yeah, yeah, you know, why not?

35:09 Speaker 5: I like that?

35:09 Speaker 1: And I yeah, I like that song a lot too. I was saying, it's got got a little bit of a surf punk vibe there with the guitar and everything in the whole vibe of it. I really like that a lot. That must go over well live. Do you play that one live?

35:19 Speaker 2: Oh?

35:19 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's an opener often.

35:22 Speaker 1: Oh no, no kidding, okay, yeah, that's like three or four times. And I said, yeah, oh my, do you well it is? It is a short song. One more time. I reminds me of a do you remember This is totally off subject, but do you remember lou Bega Mamo number five?

35:40 Speaker 5: Yeah?

35:41 Speaker 2: I love that.

35:42 Speaker 1: I saw lou Bega one time at at the time, I was working at a record store and I got invited to go to one of those all day radio station shows one of the Boston stations was doing. This was a long time ago. This was this was when Mamo number five was on the radio. And uh so it's like, you know, like fifteen different artists throughout the day, and they've all got really short, like twenty minute sets because of so many of them. And lou Bega was one of the one of the performers, and he actually played Mamo number five twice.

36:11 Speaker 1: He opened with it, and I thought, well, he's opening with his big hit. This is a bold move. And then I thought, oh, maybe he's closing with a cover. That's the one time. That's the only way that makes sense. He must be closing with a cover that goes over really well. So he's going to open with his big hit. He didn't he So he opens with Mamo number five, then he plays like one other song from his album, and then he closes with Mamo number five. He actually played it twice and I and it was like, it was kind of weird, but but I also remember thinking, I respect it in a way that he understands, he knows he's a one hit wonder.

36:44 Speaker 1: He understands he's on the you know, thirteenth or fourteenth of his fifteen minutes.

36:49 Speaker 14: You know what I mean.

36:50 Speaker 17: I saw Men Without Hats a couple of years ago, and they opened with safety Dance.

36:53 Speaker 1: Yeah, they ended with no kidding? Yeah, all right, you don't have.

36:58 Speaker 5: To do that, guys.

36:59 Speaker 3: They have a lot of good songs, come on, I but.

37:03 Speaker 1: That's their only hit, right yeah? Yeah?

37:06 Speaker 3: Oh no, Actually, what was that one? The apocalypse one.

37:13 Speaker 1: From Men Without Yeah, I don't even remember that.

37:16 Speaker 8: The world.

37:18 Speaker 1: Oh that's kind of familiar.

37:19 Speaker 3: It's a tear jerker.

37:21 Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, all right, yeah.

37:23 Speaker 6: I think they did that twice too, because they got to.

37:26 Speaker 1: Fill that time. Get that get that check. Yeah. Oh that's funny. So when's just remind people too. I know we just talked about it, but for people just joining us, when is your next show? When is the next opportunity?

37:43 Speaker 1: And us and you and very good, very good, by the way, So and then all the how do you how do you handle the percussion and everything in the when you're on stage? Is that is that programmed or how do you approach that?

37:56 Speaker 2: Michael Mike Walsh who is uh as virtual.

38:01 Speaker 1: So yeah, he plays excellent, excellent and.

38:07 Speaker 2: Uh and Adam. What the funniest part of all this is Adam you know, he's been playing the guitar is you know, fantastic And then one day we're at practice and we had a drummer time and he's like, hey, let me, let me just show you this part and Adam sat behind the drums. Yeah, like, Adam, it might be the best, one of the best drummers that I've seen. And it's like a secret, secret idea. So Adam played the recording.

38:36 Speaker 4: Never heard him drummer his fingers on the table before. Then he just yeah, busted out.

38:41 Speaker 1: Oh that's cool.

38:42 Speaker 6: Yeah.

38:42 Speaker 17: It's been easy too, because like we can just late, we don't have to. The three of us can just write and record and play everything. And you know, Michael Mike will probably start great now.

38:54 Speaker 3: Yeah, he can do he can do anything that you point him at.

39:15 Speaker 1: XL two four? Yes, I had a Do you remember to excel? I had a two XL when I was like kid played the A track you put the A tractapes in? Was I am to excel?

39:24 Speaker 2: One thing I'll put out there that our sort of secret hope that we have is eventually people will come to our shows and bring their robots so that they can all dance in the front together.

39:36 Speaker 1: That's that's such a cool idea, the robots together.

39:39 Speaker 2: If you come to the Stone Church, bring a robot and we'll give you free.

39:46 Speaker 1: That's a very cool idea, world of robots. Does it have to be a robot?

39:49 Speaker 2: What if it's like like, like what can what a robotic like like a roomba?

39:54 Speaker 1: Is that that would be that works?

39:57 Speaker 2: That would be pretty hilarious because I think, actually it's my you say that because I want to think.

40:04 Speaker 4: It was like, it'll be a motor It'll be like survival research laboratories, only without the fighting.

40:11 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's funny you say that because one of the new videos that we're working on. Like, I'm always like trying to find something it's a little different, and I was looking at roomba uh footage and it's it's gonna make it in there and it has nothing to do with this song. The next song that we're releasing is really organic and beautiful.
