2:49 Speaker 2: fifty percent of the band super Bug here, gentlemen, please

2:52 Speaker 2: introduce yourselves.

2:54 Speaker 5: I'm Parker h drummer for super Bug.

2:56 Speaker 4: Yes, my name is reed By play guitar, and we

3:00 Speaker 4: are missing Adam Thunderfingers Vondette on the bass guitar and

3:05 Speaker 4: also the Worm on vocals, Justin Coombs Okay, okay, and

3:10 Speaker 4: Warm wanted me to share with you that he is

3:11 Speaker 4: out saving the children. That's why he couldn't be here today.

3:13 Speaker 2: He's saving which children because we didn't specify.

3:16 Speaker 4: He likes to keep things vague.

3:17 Speaker 2: There's a lot of kids. There's a lot of kids

3:19 Speaker 2: out there, all of them super buggs for the children.

3:21 Speaker 2: That is amazing. That would actually that'd be a good

3:24 Speaker 2: T shirt.

3:25 Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, I mean, you know, we're thinking about sponsoring

3:28 Speaker 4: some Little League teams and stuff, you know, going forward,

3:30 Speaker 4: just to get her name out there, you know. All right,

3:32 Speaker 4: all right, very good community outreach, very good, very good.

3:35 Speaker 2: So we have Reebn Parker here. All right, refresh my memory?

3:38 Speaker 4: Why are you reb It's just a childhood nickname that's stuck.

3:41 Speaker 4: And now I kind of my ego is very happy

3:45 Speaker 4: that I can go by like a one name moniker,

3:48 Speaker 4: you know, like Princeton Madonna or something. So yeah, yeah,

3:51 Speaker 4: and I like the mystery of people not really know

3:53 Speaker 4: my real names.

3:53 Speaker 2: That's okay, very good, very good. Now tell us about

3:57 Speaker 2: the new album, of course, because we're playing some songs

4:00 Speaker 2: from the new album.

4:02 Speaker 4: Well, let's see, this might be an interesting fact. But

4:06 Speaker 4: we did the whole thing in two hours. No, yeah,

4:09 Speaker 4: everything you're hearing today is the first take, live in

4:12 Speaker 4: the studio, no overdubs.

4:14 Speaker 2: That's that's a record. When you started that sentence, I

4:17 Speaker 2: thought you were going to say, yeah, we did the

4:19 Speaker 2: whole thing in two weeks or two hours.

4:23 Speaker 4: Two hours from start to mastered, ready to release with

4:27 Speaker 4: six days.

4:28 Speaker 2: Good lord, super bug, ladies and gentlemen, the most efficient band.

4:32 Speaker 2: Yeah on Earth. That's incredible.

4:34 Speaker 6: Yeah, we just went in played live and we were

4:37 Speaker 6: going to do five. That was the plan, like half

4:39 Speaker 6: the album. Yeah, it just started.

4:42 Speaker 2: Do be a favorite, pull that mic, this this way

4:44 Speaker 2: a little bit rookies. No, that's okay. Those mics are

4:47 Speaker 2: very beauty directional unless you're just being like directly into them.

4:50 Speaker 2: They lucy a little bit. No, that that's great. Yeah,

4:52 Speaker 2: thanks Parker.

4:53 Speaker 5: But we were going to do five. That was the plan.

4:55 Speaker 6: Okay, come back to do another five, and we just

4:58 Speaker 6: started rolling. And we had actually talked about before that

5:00 Speaker 6: yeah you know, hey, if we start rolling, let's just

5:03 Speaker 6: keep going and get all ten.

5:04 Speaker 5: And wow, sure enough that's what happened.

5:06 Speaker 2: That's incredible.

5:07 Speaker 4: We didn't even listen to it, like, we didn't played

5:10 Speaker 4: the first one. He's like, you want to hear it?

5:11 Speaker 4: Like nope, go no kidding, yeah, yeah, like there's I

5:16 Speaker 4: think there's two clams on the whole thing. Uh, you know,

5:18 Speaker 4: but it wasn't worth redoing it. I think out of

5:21 Speaker 4: the ten songs, seven of them our first take, two

5:24 Speaker 4: of them were second take, and there was one that

5:26 Speaker 4: we had to restart three times.

5:27 Speaker 2: Really, but Yeah.

5:28 Speaker 4: We were in and out of there in two hours

5:29 Speaker 4: and went, you know, to the brewery and had a beer.

5:32 Speaker 2: That's incredible. Yeah.

5:33 Speaker 4: Well, now the funny thing is everybody that goes to

5:35 Speaker 4: work with him, he's like, you guys are the standard.

5:37 Speaker 4: This is now what I expect. Well it was great.

5:41 Speaker 2: Well where did you record?

5:43 Speaker 5: Uh, Dave Palmer Garlic Rock Studios? Okay, conquered?

5:47 Speaker 2: Okay, oh, Dave Palmer.

5:49 Speaker 5: That probably knew him.

5:50 Speaker 2: I'm not sure that I actually know him, but the

5:53 Speaker 2: only but I know that name, and it's probably because

5:55 Speaker 2: of you guys, because I think he just friended me

5:57 Speaker 2: on Facebook or something probably, So yeah, yeah, I saw

6:00 Speaker 2: we had a lot of mutual friends, of course, so

6:02 Speaker 2: of course accepted him. Okay, So was it your first

6:05 Speaker 2: time working with him?

6:06 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, we I hadn't even met him until that day.

6:09 Speaker 4: The reason we went there is Parker wasn't crazy about

6:12 Speaker 4: the drum sound on the first record, so we wanted

6:14 Speaker 4: to find a guy that had the kit set up

6:15 Speaker 4: in the studio and everything was dialed in so we

6:18 Speaker 4: didn't have to play with it. And he recorded with

6:20 Speaker 4: another band he's playing with stage in the Tumbleweeds. They

6:22 Speaker 4: went up there and did a session. He liked the

6:24 Speaker 4: drum sound, and so we said, let's just go in

6:27 Speaker 4: and do it, and yeah, we caught fire and just

6:30 Speaker 4: went wow, yeah it was insane.

6:32 Speaker 2: That's incredible. All right. So a lot of musicians listen

6:35 Speaker 2: to the show. So for somebody who wants to be

6:37 Speaker 2: able to do that, to go in and record an

6:39 Speaker 2: album in two hours, what advice do you have for them?

6:42 Speaker 4: Go in rehearsed, don't go, you know, don't go in

6:44 Speaker 4: the studio and decide to write a song or arrange

6:47 Speaker 4: it therenge it right. Yeah, you're wasting everybody's time. It's like,

6:53 Speaker 4: if you can and if you can't pull it off live,

6:55 Speaker 4: don't go try and do it in the studio. And

6:57 Speaker 4: that's my advice. But we're where at me and Worm

7:00 Speaker 4: in particular, very impatient. We don't want to do things

7:03 Speaker 4: one hundred times. We want to go and get it done.

7:05 Speaker 4: Is it good enough? Yes, let's move on, right But yeah,

7:09 Speaker 4: so right now, working towards the next one, we're probably

7:12 Speaker 4: planning on being in this winter again.

7:14 Speaker 5: Wow, good for you, Good for you guys.

7:16 Speaker 2: You know what this makes me think about is, you know, like,

7:18 Speaker 2: like you guys were saying, you know, don't be writing

7:20 Speaker 2: in the studio and arranging. And you see these documentaries

7:24 Speaker 2: of like these classic rock bands where they're in the studio.

7:27 Speaker 2: You know, of course they are classic rock bands who

7:29 Speaker 2: are very successful, who have, you know, just all the

7:31 Speaker 2: money in the world. So there you see these argumentaries

7:33 Speaker 2: where they're in the studio and they're writing in the

7:37 Speaker 2: studio as they're recording the album and they're experimenting with

7:40 Speaker 2: all these different things, and you know, and you can

7:42 Speaker 2: tell they're just burning money, you know. But of course

7:45 Speaker 2: they have all the money, so it doesn't matter.

7:47 Speaker 4: And you know, i'd like to point out too, is

7:49 Speaker 4: do what works for you. I mean, obviously it's not

7:51 Speaker 4: gonna work for everybody. And I don't want to say

7:55 Speaker 4: most guitar players, but a lot of guitar players are fussy.

7:57 Speaker 4: You know, every think it's going to be perfect and

7:59 Speaker 4: this that. Yeah, I'm kind of raw. I don't, I don't,

8:02 Speaker 4: I don't care. I actually like hearing on the recording

8:04 Speaker 4: where I turned a pedal on or off. Yeah, I

8:06 Speaker 4: think it's cool. You know, it makes it sound live.

8:08 Speaker 2: I agree, I agree.

8:10 Speaker 4: I'm a fan. I can point to it and go oops.

8:12 Speaker 4: I made that chord change a little too quick to

8:14 Speaker 4: get to the solo, but I you know, it's cool

8:16 Speaker 4: for me because hey, we didn't have to just play

8:19 Speaker 4: it and go back and overdub the solo or something.

8:21 Speaker 4: So it was great. I can't wait to do it again.

8:24 Speaker 2: Yeah.

8:24 Speaker 4: Yeah, one guitar, I mean one setup. I think I

8:28 Speaker 4: one of the songs will be listening to today. Gray

8:30 Speaker 4: on Sunday. I went to the neck pickup and you

8:32 Speaker 4: can really hear it, go go lo e and I

8:35 Speaker 4: kind of laugh about it, but it's cool. It helps

8:38 Speaker 4: make it a little bit, you know. Yeah, yeah, So

8:41 Speaker 4: I don't mind those little hidden errors because there you know,

8:44 Speaker 4: it's just cool. Like I think there's time as on

8:46 Speaker 4: my side by the stones, the tambourine on that is

8:48 Speaker 4: off time. If you listen to it, I think Brian

8:51 Speaker 4: Jones is playing it. But that's what makes it cool,

8:53 Speaker 4: you know. And most people don't notice that sort of thing,

8:56 Speaker 4: right character.

8:57 Speaker 2: I never noticed that on times on my side.

8:59 Speaker 4: So now listen to it, you're gonna go, oh, yeah,

9:00 Speaker 4: that is a bit.

9:01 Speaker 2: I'm gonna listen to it later today. I'm gonna have

9:02 Speaker 2: to now, yeah, because I love that kind of stuff.

9:04 Speaker 2: Of course. Oh that's interesting. That's interesting.

9:06 Speaker 5: So we were not shooting for perfection.

9:09 Speaker 2: Right right, yeah, but I think what you what you

9:12 Speaker 2: did get is something even cooler, you know.

9:14 Speaker 4: So I think it's a great snapshot of us live

9:18 Speaker 4: too because boom, like a steamroller coming at you, right.

9:21 Speaker 4: And it's over quick too, because I think the whole

9:24 Speaker 4: records what probably about half hour? Yeah yeah, so it's

9:28 Speaker 4: like what just happened?

9:31 Speaker 2: We were also talking off air, you guys played at

9:33 Speaker 2: Pembroke City Limits. Yes, shout out to Rob yep, Rob

9:37 Speaker 2: as a video of course, he's a colleague here at

9:40 Speaker 2: CEOs a show here, great show called Grantited State of

9:43 Speaker 2: Mind on Fridays.

9:44 Speaker 4: He's played us on that as well.

9:45 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, absolutely, Now how did you? Because we

9:48 Speaker 2: were also talking off air, Superbug is not the kind

9:50 Speaker 2: of band they're rob necessary, I mean, don't get me wrong.

9:53 Speaker 2: You know, since Pembroke City Limits opened hour many years

9:56 Speaker 2: has been now at least track of time, it's been

9:58 Speaker 2: a few years now, right or at least two maybe

10:00 Speaker 2: three years, and it's you know, there's a been a

10:02 Speaker 2: variety of different kinds of artists that have played there,

10:05 Speaker 2: but not necessarily something quite like Superbug.

10:08 Speaker 4: Well, I can tell you exactly how it happened. I

10:11 Speaker 4: bugged him quite a bit, but he had a big

10:13 Speaker 4: fear that we're going to be too loud. Yeah, So

10:15 Speaker 4: I went and watched, I think, with Parker and some friends,

10:18 Speaker 4: Andrew North and the Rangers, yep. And I immediately went

10:21 Speaker 4: over to Rob and I said, we're not going to

10:23 Speaker 4: be louder than these guys. Yeah, you know, and he

10:26 Speaker 4: took the bait. I brought him a record, you know,

10:29 Speaker 4: schmoozed him up a bit, and he gave us a

10:31 Speaker 4: shot at it, and it's sure enough. It's It was

10:35 Speaker 4: wild for me because there's no way I could bring

10:36 Speaker 4: a tube bamp there, which I can't get low enough

10:39 Speaker 4: in volume, so I had to bring a little ten

10:41 Speaker 4: inch solid state fender and even that was kind of

10:44 Speaker 4: too loud. Really yeah, yeah, which is weird being on

10:46 Speaker 4: stage that quiet, But when you hear it from the audience,

10:48 Speaker 4: he's right, it's perfect.

10:50 Speaker 2: Yeah.

10:51 Speaker 4: But we found our setup. We dialed it in, we

10:53 Speaker 4: muted the drums enough and it actually sounded great.

10:56 Speaker 2: Yeah, Oh that's awesome. Did you have to kind of

10:59 Speaker 2: adjust I mean, in terms of the way you were

11:01 Speaker 2: playing at that show. Did you have to adjust?

11:03 Speaker 6: Yeah, because you know, I didn't really. I guess I

11:06 Speaker 6: played loud and it's kind of hard, but yeah, you

11:08 Speaker 6: got to tone it down.

11:10 Speaker 2: What was it difficult?

11:11 Speaker 5: A little bit? Yeah, but I'm trying to practice that

11:15 Speaker 5: a little bit so I.

11:16 Speaker 2: Can do it. You know. I would imagine it's probably

11:18 Speaker 2: like a like a UFC fighter having a professional wrestling

11:21 Speaker 2: match and they have to kind of pull their punches,

11:23 Speaker 2: you know, and figure out how to do that without screwing.

11:26 Speaker 5: Up and keep the energy and keep the energy.

11:29 Speaker 2: Yeah.

11:29 Speaker 4: Well the cool part was the last time we played,

11:32 Speaker 4: uh during our second set, he said, okay, you can

11:34 Speaker 4: come up a little bit. Oh okay, so you know,

11:36 Speaker 4: and it's cool and great crowd there. People really like music. Yeah,

11:40 Speaker 4: and yeah, those those are a couple of the better

11:43 Speaker 4: gigs that we've ever played. I mean, it was it

11:45 Speaker 4: was it was just fun. Yeah, and it was a

11:47 Speaker 4: big deal to us because you know, I was all,

11:50 Speaker 4: you know, sad, like, hey, why doesn't Conquered are you

11:52 Speaker 4: want to play? You know, let us play? And the

11:54 Speaker 4: fact that they let us in finally yea, and we've

11:57 Speaker 4: been back, you know once, and we're eduled again.

12:00 Speaker 2: In October, so outstanding.

12:02 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's great, so thanks Robby really uh myself, it

12:05 Speaker 4: made me super happy, yeah, get the band too, like

12:07 Speaker 4: it made me feel a part of you know, part

12:10 Speaker 4: of something right right.

12:11 Speaker 2: Well. It also probably opened up Rob's mind a bit

12:13 Speaker 2: to having you know, some louder bands or yah.

12:16 Speaker 4: Yeah, he's He's definitely had some heavier accent there, which

12:19 Speaker 4: is secret, a little behind the scenes thing. The bartenders

12:22 Speaker 4: are happy about that, but yeah, I don't know if

12:24 Speaker 4: they share that with him, but I've heard stuff. Yeah, yeah,

12:29 Speaker 4: they like the variety, right.

12:30 Speaker 2: Right, well, very good. When you when you played there

12:34 Speaker 2: most recently, did you play I assume you played songs

12:36 Speaker 2: from the new album.

12:37 Speaker 4: Yeah, even songs that aren't on this record that are new.

12:40 Speaker 4: I mean, we're always writing all the time, so yeah, yeah,

12:42 Speaker 4: in the old classics from the first one. Even a

12:44 Speaker 4: couple of covers we did because we know well, actually

12:47 Speaker 4: I can't say the word, but Rob's got a a

12:49 Speaker 4: big Neil Young poster up there. So the first time

12:52 Speaker 4: we played f and up yeah, via Pearl Jam. So

12:54 Speaker 4: that was kind of cool. It was kind of like

12:55 Speaker 4: a let's throw Rob a bone and give him a

12:57 Speaker 4: good cover.

12:57 Speaker 2: Oh, that's really cool.

12:59 Speaker 4: Yeah, because we typically, especially lately, we're not playing really

13:02 Speaker 4: any covers at all in our sets. We would always

13:04 Speaker 4: have one in there. Yeah, but now it's just been like,

13:07 Speaker 4: why are we going to waste it? We got some

13:08 Speaker 4: good stuff too, let's put ours in there instead.

13:10 Speaker 2: Well that's nice too, when you get to that point

13:11 Speaker 2: where it's like, eh, we don't really need to play covers.

13:14 Speaker 4: I always felt like that. It's trying to get everybody

13:16 Speaker 4: else on board.

13:17 Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. I was in a band called the Jinkst

13:19 Speaker 2: a very long time ago, and those guys always wanted

13:21 Speaker 2: to do covers and I was always but our I

13:23 Speaker 2: felt our original material was really strong, so I was.

13:25 Speaker 2: It was just a constant battle in that band, you know,

13:28 Speaker 2: especially when they were pulling out. Like at one point

13:30 Speaker 2: they wanted to do Talk Dirty to Me by Poison,

13:33 Speaker 2: and I was like, you guys are killing me. Adam.

13:35 Speaker 4: Adam would do that at the drop of a hat.

13:38 Speaker 4: I love that song too. We could do it just

13:39 Speaker 4: because it's funny. Yeah, you know, but Adam loves poison.

13:42 Speaker 4: He's got a Poisoned shirt, so yeah, he's a throwback.

13:45 Speaker 4: He loves Cinderella Poison.

13:46 Speaker 2: Yeahh rat.

13:48 Speaker 4: I mean, I like, talk dirty to me, but the

13:50 Speaker 4: rest of it, I think I can live with that.

13:52 Speaker 2: Right right, no doubt. As an aside, they were in

13:56 Speaker 2: the news recently because they were supposed to do their

13:58 Speaker 2: fortieth anniversary tour. Did you see this? Apparently Brett Michaels

14:01 Speaker 2: wanted way too much money, make way more money than

14:03 Speaker 2: the other three guys, and it all fell apart.

14:05 Speaker 4: Yep, that man, that's what happens. You know, even being

14:08 Speaker 4: in a band ain't easy. I mean, you gotta you

14:10 Speaker 4: gotta deal with everybody's schedules, you know, you gotta deal

14:13 Speaker 4: with all the personalities and everything.

14:14 Speaker 2: I mean, it takes a real commitment, it does. You

14:16 Speaker 2: have to want to absolutely. Paul Stanley I heard once

14:20 Speaker 2: describe it as it's like when you're in a band

14:22 Speaker 2: with three other guys. It's like a four way marriage.

14:24 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, that's accurate.

14:25 Speaker 2: And uh, and somebody else said two on the show.

14:28 Speaker 2: It's like, I wish I could remember who said it

14:31 Speaker 2: because it was such a good insight. It's like, it's

14:33 Speaker 2: like being in a relationship with three other people or

14:36 Speaker 2: four other people depending, uh, and being but being in

14:39 Speaker 2: a relationship not only with them, but with everyone that

14:42 Speaker 2: they're in a relationship asolutely. Yeah, yep, Well we should

14:48 Speaker 2: play another track from the new album. I'll let you

14:49 Speaker 2: guys pick what do you want to What do you

14:50 Speaker 2: want to play an X?

14:51 Speaker 4: You want to do Gray or you want to do Eternal.

14:54 Speaker 2: Let's do Gray, do Gray Grand Sunday. Sure tell me

14:57 Speaker 2: about this song?

14:58 Speaker 4: I will actually so, actually if I can go back

15:01 Speaker 4: to the first one, immigration and that message there.

15:04 Speaker 2: Oh yes, it's all Greek to me.

15:06 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's all Greek to me, so warm wanted me

15:07 Speaker 4: to share that.

15:08 Speaker 1: Uh.

15:09 Speaker 4: What inspired him on that is he just found it

15:11 Speaker 4: ridiculous to think that somebody is less of a person

15:13 Speaker 4: than you because they weren't born on the same piece

15:15 Speaker 4: of earth, which I think is factual. So that was

15:19 Speaker 4: the message behind that one. This one is really just

15:22 Speaker 4: about losing somebody you love and not having the chance

15:24 Speaker 4: to say goodbye.

15:25 Speaker 2: Yeah, this is this song kind of stands out to

15:28 Speaker 2: me too, him that it's I feel like it's it's

15:32 Speaker 2: more melancholy than than I would agree than your other stuff.

15:35 Speaker 5: We sawed a slow song, but the tempo is probably

15:37 Speaker 5: about one thirty five.

15:38 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, but it's got but it's got a vibe.

15:41 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, we really liked this one. This happened

15:45 Speaker 4: Adam headed out cracked his classical skateboard, you know, because

15:48 Speaker 4: he's he's he's ba. Yeah, so he was out there

15:51 Speaker 4: skateboard and like most almost fifty year old men should

15:53 Speaker 4: you can say badass, thank you. I was so while

15:59 Speaker 4: he was doing that. This is something that Parker and

16:00 Speaker 4: I kind of plugged away at. Yeah, so when he

16:02 Speaker 4: was ready for action, he just had to put his

16:04 Speaker 4: bass magic on it, and uh, we could hand it

16:06 Speaker 4: over to Worm. Most of our stuff the band will

16:09 Speaker 4: iron it out and then kind of submitted over to

16:11 Speaker 4: Worm for him to put his lyrics on top. Okay,

16:14 Speaker 4: and the same one with this one. So yeah, I

16:16 Speaker 4: would say that's the message behind it. But if you're listening,

16:19 Speaker 4: listen to that low East ring buzz on it.

16:23 Speaker 5: That the bass solo at the end.

16:25 Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, as a bass player, I enjoy a bass solo.

16:30 Speaker 2: And what's the album called too? I don't think did

16:32 Speaker 2: we mention that?

16:32 Speaker 4: No, I'm sorry, I disturbed the Comfortable, Disturb the Comfortable. Yeah,

16:35 Speaker 4: it's out on iTunes, Spotify, all that fun stuff, and

16:39 Speaker 4: it's a banger.

16:39 Speaker 2: We're pretty proud of it absolutely all right. Let's listen

16:42 Speaker 2: to this from the new album disturb the Comfortable. This

16:44 Speaker 2: is called Gray on Sunday and the band is super Bug.

17:14 Speaker 7: I can see them standing, I can see them standing

17:19 Speaker 7: in the moonlight, silouet surrounded silhouet surrounded by the twilight.

17:28 Speaker 7: Lonely shadows, dance in lonely shadows, dancing in the kindle light.

17:35 Speaker 3: The revision from the tears, the revision from the tears

17:40 Speaker 3: in my mind's side. If I could let it all go,

17:46 Speaker 3: if I could let it all go, if I could let.

17:51 Speaker 1: It all go, if I could a sweeden life.

18:04 Speaker 3: River, bain of time. I couldn't say, good my.

18:22 Speaker 1: I see them smile.

18:25 Speaker 3: I see them smile.

18:26 Speaker 7: The portrait of a memory, A distant laugh, a distant laugh,

18:33 Speaker 7: and page of sweet melody, slowly fading voices, slowly fading

18:40 Speaker 7: voices go infinity lost in a moment, had a loss

18:46 Speaker 7: of some gimp serenity. If I could let it all go,

18:54 Speaker 7: if I could let it all go, if I could

18:58 Speaker 7: let it all.

18:58 Speaker 3: Go, if my truls.

19:04 Speaker 2: I listen for their voices through the wind in the tree.

19:11 Speaker 3: Gone before I knew when slowly fading.

19:15 Speaker 5: Man if let it all go.

20:02 Speaker 3: They fucking let it off. The girls, they fucking let

20:07 Speaker 3: it all go. You my cover between live ri take

20:13 Speaker 3: your bill up the hole in town.

20:15 Speaker 1: I'm going to table ripper, Hold in town, I go

20:19 Speaker 1: to table ripper. The many times I got the single Byes,

20:26 Speaker 1: Oh I needn't Singleboes, Oh I needn't single.

20:30 Speaker 3: Bye oh my never a single?

20:34 Speaker 2: Bye hang out?

20:35 Speaker 3: Been about ton? How that a single? Boot?

21:12 Speaker 2: That's so good? Grand Sunday The band is Superbug. That's

21:15 Speaker 2: from the new album Disturbed, the Comfortable and read Are

21:19 Speaker 2: you a Are you an a Fraily fan at all?

21:22 Speaker 4: Nope?

21:22 Speaker 2: I wondered, just because that solo kind of sounded a

21:25 Speaker 2: little ace to me that.

21:26 Speaker 4: You know what, It's funny you mentioned that because I'm

21:29 Speaker 4: not a fan of his. I'm not a huge kiss guy.

21:31 Speaker 4: But everybody, I think, all the guitarists I hear say

21:33 Speaker 4: that he just repeats the same lick a few times, right,

21:36 Speaker 4: And I'm definitely somebody that does that.

21:38 Speaker 2: Okay, that's probably why, probably what I'm hearing. Yeah, yeah,

21:41 Speaker 2: I would agree, Yeah, yeah, No, I really I really

21:43 Speaker 2: like that a lot. I love the solo. I love

21:45 Speaker 2: the bassline, the drums, all of it. All of it

21:47 Speaker 2: really good. Uh tell me about the album title, Disturb

21:52 Speaker 2: the Comfortable.

21:53 Speaker 4: Well, we have a song called Comfort that disturbed, yes,

21:55 Speaker 4: and then uh kind of the refrain at the end

21:58 Speaker 4: is Disturbed the Comfortah. So we just thought it was

22:01 Speaker 4: a cool title. Yeah, Yeah, I'm gonna tell him that story.

22:05 Speaker 4: Parker doesn't want me to, but I don't go to

22:08 Speaker 4: so our artwork. We had a great picture on the

22:11 Speaker 4: cover that was drawn by a fan of us playing live,

22:15 Speaker 4: So I said, let's take that and make it look

22:17 Speaker 4: like it's in a sketchbook. And Adam designs all our

22:19 Speaker 4: art So he designed the super Bug logo and then

22:22 Speaker 4: he wrote in cursive underneath it Disturbed the Comfortable because

22:25 Speaker 4: we wanted that to We wanted to look like a

22:26 Speaker 4: teenager's sketchbook where he was writing stuff. And we were waiting,

22:31 Speaker 4: like three weeks like the record was ready to go out,

22:33 Speaker 4: we're still waiting to finish the artwork. And you know,

22:36 Speaker 4: he's you know, he's a man of mystery all respect.

22:40 Speaker 2: So he gave it to us, but he.

22:42 Speaker 4: Had comfortable misspell drong on it. Oh No, and I

22:45 Speaker 4: was just like, whatever, I just want to put it

22:47 Speaker 4: out there. I'll make it seem more juvenile, so be it.

22:50 Speaker 4: And I was gonna buy an article, buy a page

22:54 Speaker 4: advertisement in paper jam. So Sheila and Tony great people

22:56 Speaker 4: up there. And Sheila pointed it out. She's like, you

22:59 Speaker 4: know that comfortable is misspelled. And I'm like, yeah, I

23:02 Speaker 4: was gonna roll or whatever. And thank you Sheila. She

23:05 Speaker 4: had the software to be able to go in and

23:06 Speaker 4: chop the letter that was wrong okay, which was perfect.

23:10 Speaker 4: She's like here and she also helped out. She put

23:12 Speaker 4: the the three ring binder kind of looked through the

23:15 Speaker 4: middle of it.

23:15 Speaker 2: Oh wow.

23:16 Speaker 4: Shout out to Shila for all our help, because we

23:18 Speaker 4: would have put something out there and you know, in

23:20 Speaker 4: all honesty, probably just looked dumb. And I don't blame

23:23 Speaker 4: Adam for this. It's my impatience because I just wanted

23:25 Speaker 4: to get it out there. I didn't have the patience

23:27 Speaker 4: to be like, dude, can you redo this and this

23:29 Speaker 4: and that. I just we were so excited to get

23:30 Speaker 4: it out, you know. But now it's a pretty funny

23:33 Speaker 4: band joke, you know, inside joke. We got a good

23:35 Speaker 4: chuckle out of it.

23:36 Speaker 2: Well, now now I'm just also curious, how do you

23:38 Speaker 2: remember how comfortable was spelled? How? Oh? I know exactly

23:41 Speaker 2: how it was a.

23:42 Speaker 4: C O M P F O R T A b

23:45 Speaker 4: L comfortable, pumped pumpfortible. It was incursive. So who knows

23:52 Speaker 4: if the kids these days even know how to read

23:54 Speaker 4: that sort of thing? Am I right?

23:56 Speaker 2: But uh? True?

23:57 Speaker 4: So I was just gonna let it go because I'm like,

23:59 Speaker 4: all right, well out to fifteen year old. He doesn't

24:01 Speaker 4: pay attention in class and you don't not to spell nothing.

24:04 Speaker 4: But thank you Sheila for having the time and effort

24:09 Speaker 4: to correct that for me unpaid. Uh you know, I

24:12 Speaker 4: feel bad. I should have given her credit or something,

24:13 Speaker 4: but it's not like we've got you know, records out there.

24:17 Speaker 4: But yeah, so that was kind of funny. It's a

24:19 Speaker 4: it's a good intervan joke now yeah. Yeah, But I'll

24:22 Speaker 4: respect to Adam for his artistic ability. He really he

24:25 Speaker 4: comes up with some cool stuff.

24:26 Speaker 2: Yeah, excellent, excellent. So the album is it? Uh so

24:31 Speaker 2: it's out? But is it? Do you have digital copies?

24:34 Speaker 2: I mean, I mean sorry, do you have physical copies

24:36 Speaker 2: or is it just digital at this point?

24:38 Speaker 4: Or just digital? You know, we did a run of

24:40 Speaker 4: vinyl for the last one, But in all honesty, we

24:42 Speaker 4: really didn't sell a whole bunch of them. A lot

24:44 Speaker 4: of them just became business cards. If we played a

24:46 Speaker 4: place or wanted to play a place, it's like here,

24:48 Speaker 4: check us out, gotcha. We still got a box of

24:50 Speaker 4: fifty of them sitting there that we're going to be

24:52 Speaker 4: selling a gigs and stuff. As I mentioned the last time,

24:57 Speaker 4: I ain't about that. I would go cassette before CD.

25:00 Speaker 4: Fight me on, I don't care. I stand behind that.

25:04 Speaker 4: But yeah, the we'd love to do a vinyl run,

25:07 Speaker 4: but to spend twelve hundred bucks for nothing. We would

25:09 Speaker 4: rather have that money to go into the studio to

25:11 Speaker 4: do our next record. I mean, we've got another eighteen

25:14 Speaker 4: songs we haven't recorded. Yeah, and we're constantly wrong. Yeah,

25:17 Speaker 4: we've got a couple in the can just to work

25:19 Speaker 4: on too, So no kidding, Yeah, we're it just flows

25:22 Speaker 4: from us. Yeah, it's real easy, No wonder. You don't

25:25 Speaker 4: have to do covers anymore. You had a lot of music,

25:27 Speaker 4: that's the thing. We want to squeeze it all in.

25:28 Speaker 4: And there's I don't think there's a song we have

25:30 Speaker 4: that it's like, oh, we have to play that one, right,

25:32 Speaker 4: you know, Well maybe Parker because some of the stuff

25:35 Speaker 4: on drums, if he's tired, it's going to be a

25:36 Speaker 4: drag for him, because yeah, we've got a lot of

25:40 Speaker 4: pace on some of the.

25:40 Speaker 5: Stuff, right, almost all of them.

25:43 Speaker 4: Yeah, Like, we we hadn't played much for about a

25:46 Speaker 4: month just because you know, it's it's people had stuff

25:48 Speaker 4: to do and it's not a we're kind of learning

25:50 Speaker 4: as we've been a band now that what works best

25:52 Speaker 4: for us. We're trying to keep it to one gig

25:54 Speaker 4: a month, yeah, you know, regular practice, of course, but

25:57 Speaker 4: everybody had vacation, so we took three weeks to month off. Yeah,

26:00 Speaker 4: and then just playing for the first time the other night,

26:04 Speaker 4: I was like, holy crap, Like there's no song you

26:06 Speaker 4: can take off, Like this is not easy stuff to

26:08 Speaker 4: do and the pace is there.

26:10 Speaker 5: But that's cool, you know, it's.

26:11 Speaker 4: A good exactly. It's still very exciting to play anything. Yeah,

26:16 Speaker 4: you know what I mean.

26:17 Speaker 2: Oh, that's excellent, that's excellent. How long have you guys

26:19 Speaker 2: been around now?

26:20 Speaker 4: Five years since I joined the band?

26:22 Speaker 5: Five years that long?

26:23 Speaker 2: Yeah, wow, five years since you joined that's right. So

26:25 Speaker 2: there was Superbug before Reeb.

26:27 Speaker 4: Yes rec uh yeah, Pine Tree Riot R. Yeah, shout

26:33 Speaker 4: out to Rick.

26:34 Speaker 2: Yeah, well that was the before Superbug was Pine Tree Riot.

26:38 Speaker 5: Yeah, it was.

26:38 Speaker 6: It was me Adam and and Worm okay, and then

26:41 Speaker 6: our guitarist Rick okay, and then he decided he wanted

26:45 Speaker 6: to do other things, so okay, Reb came on and uh,

26:49 Speaker 6: then we became Superbug.

26:51 Speaker 4: And I have been playing for thirty years with Dent,

26:54 Speaker 4: which we still play with. Oh wow, So yeah, I'm

26:57 Speaker 4: I'm I'm parking and I are both juggling two bands

26:59 Speaker 4: right now. Yeah, Superbugs is the main one, of course,

27:02 Speaker 4: but you know, it's but it's great to have that

27:04 Speaker 4: creative outlet.

27:05 Speaker 2: Yeah.

27:05 Speaker 4: If I write something and I get two rhythm sections

27:08 Speaker 4: to try it.

27:08 Speaker 2: Out with, that's true.

27:10 Speaker 4: So it's it's kind of cool.

27:11 Speaker 2: That is true.

27:12 Speaker 4: And sometimes it's surprising which one works with which one,

27:15 Speaker 4: but it's it's a luxury and I mean and both

27:17 Speaker 4: rhythm sections are stellar, so it's it's pretty grad Oh.

27:20 Speaker 2: That's excellent that you've played with for a long time.

27:23 Speaker 4: Since high school. You know, we've got two records out

27:25 Speaker 4: on iTunes and you know Spotify. Yeah, oh wow, Yeah,

27:28 Speaker 4: we've been playing. We played five gigs last year. We

27:30 Speaker 4: played two this year. Yeah, we played the Backwoods Metal

27:32 Speaker 4: Fest at Hannecker Brewing Company. And that's the other thing

27:35 Speaker 4: with us. We've been playing with doom metal bands like Superbug,

27:39 Speaker 4: but we've also played with the jam bands. I mean,

27:41 Speaker 4: we've got a wide swath of you know, genres we

27:44 Speaker 4: can kind of fit in with and co mingle with.

27:46 Speaker 2: That's true.

27:47 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's really cool, like the Pig with the Milford

27:50 Speaker 4: Pig Growth. Yeah, I mean it was all like Witch

27:53 Speaker 4: Spire and Hobo Wizard and Proelium and all these you

27:57 Speaker 4: know that kind of stuff. Yeah, and we came up

27:59 Speaker 4: and I thought it was great because I don't know

28:01 Speaker 4: about you, but if I go to a show or festival,

28:02 Speaker 4: I don't want to hear eight of the same thing.

28:04 Speaker 2: I'm the same way.

28:05 Speaker 4: Give me something that that's different. Absolutely, But yeah, it was.

28:09 Speaker 4: It was super fun doing that.

28:10 Speaker 2: Oh that's cool.

28:11 Speaker 4: We're happy to be anywhere.

28:12 Speaker 2: Yeah, I can see how you guys would fit in

28:14 Speaker 2: different different places, which is good.

28:16 Speaker 4: Yeah, And uh, hilariously, on the thirteenth, we're going to

28:20 Speaker 4: be playing like our local community music spotlight on Thursday night,

28:24 Speaker 4: you know where the uh the elderly folks bring their

28:27 Speaker 4: lawn chairs and sit down and super bugs playing that.

28:30 Speaker 4: So we're really excited because our hometown Hillsboro. Yeah, you know,

28:34 Speaker 4: growing up there as a teenager, this is the sort

28:36 Speaker 4: of thing you really wanted.

28:37 Speaker 2: To do right right.

28:38 Speaker 4: The fact that they actually asked us to do it

28:40 Speaker 4: is mind blowing.

28:41 Speaker 2: Oh that's very cool.

28:42 Speaker 4: Well, because you know, four years ago and now four

28:45 Speaker 4: years ago now, we played the big summer fest there

28:47 Speaker 4: and they threw us off the stage.

28:51 Speaker 2: What happened.

28:52 Speaker 4: It's our street cred, so yeah, yeah, it's it's super funny.

28:55 Speaker 4: So the first issue was we bought a brand new

28:58 Speaker 4: Pa not PA mixer, and we tested it out in

29:01 Speaker 4: my yard and thought we had our level set, like

29:03 Speaker 4: this will be perfect. So we went to the ball

29:06 Speaker 4: field and set up on stage and we began playing

29:08 Speaker 4: and we were so loud that vendors across the field

29:11 Speaker 4: you had to yell just to order food from them.

29:14 Speaker 4: So after about two songs, they came over and they're like,

29:16 Speaker 4: you need to cut your volume in half, which we

29:18 Speaker 4: did and we're cool with it, but in all honesty,

29:20 Speaker 4: we were pretty green. That was like one of our

29:22 Speaker 4: first gigs, and so Worm said the F bomb a

29:25 Speaker 4: few too many times. Now, keep in mind this is

29:27 Speaker 4: a family event, so it was kind of so. But

29:31 Speaker 4: the funny thing is we made it through our whole set.

29:33 Speaker 4: We had one song left, which we did a cover

29:35 Speaker 4: of war Pigs, and they just like, no, you gotta go.

29:38 Speaker 4: And we were heroes of the beer tent right next door.

29:41 Speaker 4: They loved us, and a lot of people did dig us,

29:43 Speaker 4: but the organizers, they weren't too fond of that. Looking

29:46 Speaker 4: back on it, they were right one percent. You know,

29:48 Speaker 4: there's artistic integrity and I know you want to. Now

29:51 Speaker 4: we can play spots and censor ourselves a bit more.

29:54 Speaker 4: We've learned, we've made progress. But it makes for a

29:57 Speaker 4: great street cred punk rock story. You know, threw us

29:59 Speaker 4: off at the summer Fest.

30:01 Speaker 2: Oh wow, that's cool.

30:02 Speaker 4: The fact that we're playing the Community Square this year,

30:05 Speaker 4: it's it's pretty hilarious. Yeah, but you know, if any

30:08 Speaker 4: of you Hillsboro folks are listening, it's going to be

30:10 Speaker 4: a clean show. Okay, we are going to uh yeah,

30:13 Speaker 4: we're going to rock your socks off, but there'll be

30:15 Speaker 4: no bad words.

30:16 Speaker 2: Right right, well, very good, very good? And when is

30:21 Speaker 2: is that.

30:22 Speaker 4: August thirteenth Thursday Night. I'm not sure if it's that's

30:24 Speaker 4: six or seven, but we'll post it on our socials. Yeah,

30:27 Speaker 4: but we're really excited for that.

30:29 Speaker 2: Yeah.

30:29 Speaker 4: Those are the type of gigs and when I drive

30:31 Speaker 4: by and see another band doing it, it's like, huh, well,

30:33 Speaker 4: how come we're not doing that? But we're not really

30:37 Speaker 4: background music too. But the weird part is Pembroke City

30:40 Speaker 4: Limits showed us that we could be true. So shout

30:43 Speaker 4: out to Rob again.

30:44 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, absolutely, I'm sure we talked about this last time.

30:48 Speaker 2: But where does the name Superbug come from? Well?

30:51 Speaker 4: I have a h I think we did talk about.

30:53 Speaker 4: I have a vintage Richard Nixon poster. Oh yeah, seventies.

30:56 Speaker 4: Yeah yeah yeah, and it said Superbug at the bottom

30:59 Speaker 4: and one of our our number one fan shout out

31:01 Speaker 4: to Money. He was over and we were thinking of

31:03 Speaker 4: names and he's like, what about Superbug? Like okay, so yeah,

31:07 Speaker 4: that's it.

31:09 Speaker 2: If you're just joining us. We have Reeb and Parker

31:11 Speaker 2: here from Superbug with us in studio. Why did it

31:15 Speaker 2: say Superbug at the bottom of the Richard Nixon poster?

31:17 Speaker 2: What am I missing?

31:19 Speaker 4: If I showed the poster because it had like a

31:21 Speaker 4: it was called the bug Booth and it had him

31:23 Speaker 4: with headphones on like the Democratic National can right.

31:26 Speaker 2: Right right, okay, right, that makes sense now.

31:28 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, so we kind of he took it from

31:31 Speaker 4: that and I was like, ah, that's a great idea.

31:32 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, that is that is a great idea. I

31:35 Speaker 2: do remember we talked about Hesitation Jelly and why the

31:38 Speaker 2: album the other album was called Hesitation Jelly and that's

31:41 Speaker 2: that's that's a fun story too. My dad. My dad

31:43 Speaker 2: got a kick out of that one. Well that's hilarious,

31:45 Speaker 2: but absolutely, well we should we should play another song.

31:48 Speaker 2: Let's uh, let's see of the three you sent me three? Right, yep,

31:53 Speaker 2: I think the what didn't we play yet?

31:56 Speaker 4: Eternal Youth?

31:57 Speaker 2: Eternal Youth? Yeah, tell me about this one?

32:00 Speaker 4: Well, we I think we went through a bit of

32:03 Speaker 4: a rush phase and I wouldn't one of the songs

32:06 Speaker 4: on the record time or No. It's called Taste for

32:09 Speaker 4: the Medicine. It's got three different times signatures in it,

32:11 Speaker 4: and we were we liked the abrupt changes. I'm a

32:14 Speaker 4: huge Strokes fan. Yeah, I love abrupt changes. I love

32:17 Speaker 4: parts that are fighting against each other. But this one's

32:19 Speaker 4: almost like I don't know ADHD because it's going from

32:22 Speaker 4: one pace to another. It jumps around a lot, you know,

32:25 Speaker 4: in tempo wise and uh, just rift wise. It actually

32:29 Speaker 4: started as another entire song that it just we It's

32:34 Speaker 4: one of the only ones we just couldn't get to work.

32:36 Speaker 6: I'd say, oh, really the transitions, for you know, how

32:39 Speaker 6: do we how do we transition from one part of

32:41 Speaker 6: the next?

32:41 Speaker 4: Yeah, because you're going from like a slow to a

32:43 Speaker 4: fast part. So we had to figure all that out.

32:47 Speaker 2: And you know what, so we we got.

32:49 Speaker 4: I took the rifts that I like from the song,

32:51 Speaker 4: and I was going back through my phone and the

32:53 Speaker 4: verse riff that's quiet. I had found that that I

32:55 Speaker 4: just made a recording of it laying around and I'm like,

32:57 Speaker 4: all right, well that's in D two. Maybe I could

33:00 Speaker 4: put that in the middle of it. And then it

33:02 Speaker 4: was just a matter of, like Parker said, getting in

33:03 Speaker 4: and out of the changes. Yeah, and this one's super cool.

33:07 Speaker 4: It's the live first take, guys, you know. So yeah,

33:10 Speaker 4: it is a banger. And they had to do some

33:13 Speaker 4: adjustment to the drums at the beginning in the studio

33:16 Speaker 4: because his kit was a little bit higher pitch than

33:19 Speaker 4: what we normally have, so they didn't. It sounded it

33:22 Speaker 4: didn't sound right, but Dave used his studio magic to

33:26 Speaker 4: kind of make him sound bigger than they were. Yeah,

33:29 Speaker 4: and it's pretty cool. My inspiration for the intro was

33:32 Speaker 4: Over the Mountain by Ozzie. Oh yeah, yeah, so Parker,

33:36 Speaker 4: did you know something along those lines. I wouldn't say

33:38 Speaker 4: it's a direct copy, but that was for me to go,

33:40 Speaker 4: this is what I'm looking for and then you know,

33:42 Speaker 4: so he was able to do that, and yeah, it's

33:45 Speaker 4: it's it's pretty cool. I don't have any other Oh wait,

33:49 Speaker 4: let me Parker or not. I'm sorry, Parker. Worm did

33:51 Speaker 4: tell me what the words were about, so if you

33:53 Speaker 4: would like, I could share that with you. Yeah, absolutely,

33:56 Speaker 4: because I tried to be prepared and ask his opinion

33:58 Speaker 4: on this stuff instead of just assuming. Right, So let's see. Uh,

34:03 Speaker 4: Eternal Youth is about the awakening of realizing that just

34:07 Speaker 4: being alive should be celebrated. Who knew that Worm was

34:11 Speaker 4: such a hippie.

34:11 Speaker 2: Well that's a good Uh, that's a good message. I

34:14 Speaker 2: like that, right, but yeah, absolutely, all right, let's give

34:16 Speaker 2: this a spend. The track is Eternal Youth. It's from

34:19 Speaker 2: the from the album Disturbed, the Comfortable brand new from Superbug.

34:22 Speaker 2: Here we go.

34:54 Speaker 1: I'm not the same the same as yesterday yesterday. Seasons

36:18 Speaker 1: season's changed, looking ahead the rainy days.

36:24 Speaker 2: The seasons change as a fado way.

36:42 Speaker 7: The times a year the magic for one off at all,

36:47 Speaker 7: no things open mind, no one ever has to take

36:51 Speaker 7: the ball.

36:53 Speaker 3: So two defensime my head, I playful.

36:56 Speaker 1: Time, time of the s treaking freeway.

37:01 Speaker 3: That's a bay room.

37:14 Speaker 8: A wicked is the burdens Excel, the wate Ska and

37:51 Speaker 8: the Juvenile.

37:52 Speaker 1: Wicked is the burs An amazing stars, the juvenile prods a.

38:00 Speaker 2: Electric that's so good, That is a banger, eternal youth.

38:45 Speaker 2: The band is a Superbug and we've got one half

38:48 Speaker 2: of super Bug here with us in studio. We have

38:50 Speaker 2: Reeve and Parker here with us, and yeah, that was

38:52 Speaker 2: a good good choice like that one a lot. Absolutely, absolutely,

38:57 Speaker 2: I'm still amazed that you were able to record the

38:59 Speaker 2: album so quickly. That is Uh, that is incredible. Yeah,

39:03 Speaker 2: if you are just joining us, We've got the guys

39:04 Speaker 2: here talking about the new album, Uh, Disturbed, the Comfortable

39:08 Speaker 2: and yeah. I was looking at the artwork too while

39:10 Speaker 2: that was playing. I really like that. So those a

39:13 Speaker 2: fifteen year old who did that?

39:14 Speaker 4: No, we wanted it to make it look like that

39:16 Speaker 4: was Oh Dave, Dave what's his name that did the drawing.

39:19 Speaker 5: Oh Mark, Mark Seymour did the drawing. Oh okay, got bottom.

39:22 Speaker 2: Yeah, we were playing yeah, so he is not fifteen.

39:25 Speaker 4: No, we were. We were playing in worms she shed

39:28 Speaker 4: in his backyard. Yeah, just for like an outdoor party,

39:31 Speaker 4: and the guy just drew us while we were doing it,

39:34 Speaker 4: and to me it was very flattering. I thought it

39:36 Speaker 4: was super cool. Yeah, so yeah, we were I always

39:40 Speaker 4: wanted to do something with that. We were going to

39:41 Speaker 4: have it as the the art on the back of

39:43 Speaker 4: our first record, but you know, it just made it

39:45 Speaker 4: more complicated, so we used it for this.

39:48 Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely. How long did the first record take? I mean,

39:51 Speaker 2: obviously this one was so quick.

39:52 Speaker 4: But that was about ten hours, no, seven hours?

39:55 Speaker 2: Really yeah, yeah, so really fast.

39:57 Speaker 1: Yeah.

39:57 Speaker 4: Well that this one did. We recorded the vocals live

40:01 Speaker 4: in the room on this one. Yeah, that one, we

40:03 Speaker 4: did the tracks and overdubbed him.

40:05 Speaker 2: Oh okay.

40:05 Speaker 4: The only thing we overdubbed on this was the background vocals, okay.

40:08 Speaker 4: So yeah, And it's funny because if you listen to

40:11 Speaker 4: a song called Disturb the Comfortable at the end, you

40:14 Speaker 4: can really hear Worm's voice breaking up because it's the

40:16 Speaker 4: part that I usually sing. Oh, and he comes in on,

40:19 Speaker 4: but because we were recording it live, he ended up

40:21 Speaker 4: doing that whole part. Yeah, And I'm like, dude's fine,

40:23 Speaker 4: just leave it, you know, Yeacause if you can recall

40:26 Speaker 4: like Territorial Pissings by Nirvana, the end of that where

40:29 Speaker 4: Kurt's screaming and you can just hear his voice shredding,

40:32 Speaker 4: that'll just get chills up your spine. It's so cool.

40:35 Speaker 2: Oh absolutely, yeah, yeah absolutely, do you guys, Is there

40:41 Speaker 2: are any live video of you guys performing for any

40:44 Speaker 2: of these shows? Yeah?

42:24 Speaker 4: It hasn't been officially nailed down yet. I don't want

42:26 Speaker 4: to ruin the announcement. Look out for that. We should

42:29 Speaker 4: be doing that as well. Yeah, So those are the

42:32 Speaker 4: upcoming gigs. And I'd also like to shout out George

42:35 Speaker 4: at the Hawk one oh four point nine. He's been

42:37 Speaker 4: playing Invasive Species off the first record for almost two

42:40 Speaker 4: years now.

42:40 Speaker 2: Oh wow.

42:41 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's in the regular rotation on the Sunday Night,

42:43 Speaker 4: you know, Hometown Spotlight. Thank you George. And he also

42:47 Speaker 4: played Daily Grind off the new record Kidding, and I

42:50 Speaker 4: think Humanity off the last record too, and also the

42:53 Speaker 4: Takeover they played at this moment recently. Oh really, yeah,

42:58 Speaker 4: that was kind of funny work. You know, a guy

43:01 Speaker 4: came in and to do some safety training and we

43:03 Speaker 4: got to talk and he had a radio show, so

43:05 Speaker 4: you know network and hey, I got a band blah

43:07 Speaker 4: blah blah. Oh yeah, so he threw something on and

43:10 Speaker 4: that's super fun. But yeah, those are the upcoming gigs

43:13 Speaker 4: we get stay tuned for more. Like I said, we're

43:15 Speaker 4: trying to trying to keep it to one a month

43:17 Speaker 4: because I would say last year in particular, we were

43:22 Speaker 4: pretty busy and I didn't realize it until I looked

43:24 Speaker 4: at a Facebook post like memories our list of upcoming gigs.

43:28 Speaker 4: It was like, dang, we were like working every weekend

43:30 Speaker 4: last summer. It felt like, I'm like, no wonder. My

43:32 Speaker 4: wife was so mad. So I think all of us

43:35 Speaker 4: we found a happy medium, a gig a month, you know,

43:39 Speaker 4: because last year was more like hey they want us

43:41 Speaker 4: to play Holy cow, let's go do it. Now we

43:43 Speaker 4: can be like no, you know, we don't. We just

43:46 Speaker 4: don't have time for it or whatever. Yeah, and you

43:49 Speaker 4: know all are we're like getting paid gigs regularly now

43:52 Speaker 4: and it's super excited. Well because we just play to

43:54 Speaker 4: go into the studio. That's the kind of the new model.

43:58 Speaker 4: Because you know, my thought to the the gus and

44:00 Speaker 4: I told them, if any of you don't feel like

44:01 Speaker 4: doing this anymore, I'll foot the bill. Let's go to

44:04 Speaker 4: the studio and record the songs. I don't want them

44:06 Speaker 4: to go away, right, you know, I want to keep

44:08 Speaker 4: them because how many bands you've been in where you

44:10 Speaker 4: had a great original song, Oh god, you didn't record

44:12 Speaker 4: it and it's just lost to history.

44:14 Speaker 2: Heartbreaking? Yeah, I think about Yeah, yeah, I agree.

44:16 Speaker 4: So that's I mean, we're all into it, but I

44:19 Speaker 4: just try and reinforce that. Listen, if you want to

44:21 Speaker 4: do it, to heck with it, Let's go to the

44:22 Speaker 4: studio and record them, right and get them out there

44:25 Speaker 4: just so they don't get lost to the you know history, right.

44:27 Speaker 2: Yep, yep. Absolutely. I have songs from bands I've played

44:31 Speaker 2: in that will just randomly pop into my head where

44:34 Speaker 2: I'll think I wish out a recording of that it's very,

44:38 Speaker 2: very frustrating.

44:39 Speaker 4: Well, I agree, but it's cool too because sometimes I had,

44:42 Speaker 4: like maybe something I wrote ten years ago for Dent

44:44 Speaker 4: that didn't work. We couldn't make it happen. Now I

44:46 Speaker 4: can try with Superbug. Yeah, so you know those things

44:49 Speaker 4: are good. And I mean on the first record there's

44:51 Speaker 4: a song called Views that originally I was playing in

44:54 Speaker 4: like nineteen ninety three with my old high school band,

44:57 Speaker 4: Uncle Slough. Yeah, you know, and so it was cool

44:59 Speaker 4: to get that on record somewhere. And the guy who

45:02 Speaker 4: wrote the lyrics is no longer with us either, so

45:04 Speaker 4: you know, he can't claim them right in their mind.

45:10 Speaker 4: Now it's copywritten under me or us. I didn't even

45:13 Speaker 4: write the bass riff. Shout out to Charlie Acorn. That's

45:15 Speaker 4: a great riff. But yeah, I'm gonna get liberless. They

45:20 Speaker 4: are libelists. Here is a state will come after it, right,

45:25 Speaker 4: you know, you kidding? But yeah, this is also cool

45:29 Speaker 4: stuff for us because we got new gear. I mean,

45:31 Speaker 4: Parker got a fancy new kid. Yeah, so it's just

45:34 Speaker 4: pretty it's good to be super Bug. We're pretty happy

45:37 Speaker 4: right now.

45:37 Speaker 1: Good.

45:37 Speaker 5: Yeah, I have a big boog wig and a small Yeah.

45:41 Speaker 4: Excellent, excellent, excellent, And I think if you ask my wife,

45:44 Speaker 4: I have more guitars than it is humanly needed, you know, necessary.

45:47 Speaker 2: Every guitar player's got to have more guitars.

45:49 Speaker 4: Thank you for justifying that. Now I feel better.

45:51 Speaker 2: But it's a rule. I agree, it's a rule. Yeah,

45:54 Speaker 2: you know, they look great in the case, you know, Yeah,

45:58 Speaker 2: how many? Now I'm curious, how many do you have?

46:01 Speaker 4: Probably fourteen? Oh jeez, yeah, and I've probably got oh, she.

46:04 Speaker 2: Might have a point.

46:05 Speaker 4: Yeah, And then I've probably got seven thousand dollars worth

46:11 Speaker 4: of effect pedals just sitting on the shelf, Lord, because

46:13 Speaker 4: I don't use much on my board, you know, I

46:15 Speaker 4: use like two pedals and that's it. Yeah. But the

46:18 Speaker 4: sad part is is recently I got one of those

46:21 Speaker 4: j Mascus Squire Jazz Masters I've been looking at for

46:25 Speaker 4: fifteen years, and I'm so embarrassed that all I want

46:28 Speaker 4: to play is this four hundred dollars guitar and it

46:31 Speaker 4: might be my best guitar. And I've got, you know,

46:35 Speaker 4: twenty five hundred dollars guitars or whatever, but they don't

46:37 Speaker 4: stay in tune as well, they don't sound as good.

46:40 Speaker 4: I'm blown away. But I'm embarrassed because you know, I'm

46:44 Speaker 4: you know, I don't want to be caught dead on

46:47 Speaker 4: stage playing a squire, you know. But it's awesome, So

46:51 Speaker 4: I'm really torn. Like, you know, I'm probably gonna play

46:54 Speaker 4: it because I love it, Like since I got it,

46:56 Speaker 4: I haven't been able to put it down.

46:57 Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, Oh so heavy endorsement of it.

47:01 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean this is the white one you see

47:03 Speaker 4: of him, or there's a lot of them out there. Yeah,

47:05 Speaker 4: I'm willing to bet three quarters of people that own

47:08 Speaker 4: one don't have any idea who the guy is. Right

47:10 Speaker 4: that it's modeled after, right, But I'd say for a

47:13 Speaker 4: beginner guitar, good luck finding something better, no kidding?

47:16 Speaker 5: Yeah?

47:16 Speaker 2: Oh interesting? Interesting, Well, gentlemen, we are running out of time.

47:21 Speaker 2: Remind us and we are going to play that track.

47:25 Speaker 2: Remind us of where where should people go online to

47:27 Speaker 2: keep up with all things super bug?

47:28 Speaker 4: All right? Well, go to Facebook dot com and then

47:30 Speaker 4: we are Superbug n H and then also on Instagram

47:35 Speaker 4: Superbug NH. My name is REEB.

47:37 Speaker 2: Grady.

47:37 Speaker 4: Feel free to follow me. We've got my homeboy Parker

47:39 Speaker 4: over here follow him. But yeah, you should be easy

47:43 Speaker 4: to search and find us on there.

47:44 Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely, And of course the new album is great.

47:47 Speaker 2: Disturb the comfortable and what can you tell us about?

47:50 Speaker 2: So I technically can't say, so it's funny. So the

47:54 Speaker 2: last song we're going to play, ironically, the title has

47:58 Speaker 2: a swear, and so we can't say the title on

47:59 Speaker 2: the air, but the lyrics don't have any swears.

48:01 Speaker 4: Yeah, we call it no bs no bs.

48:02 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah I say that.

48:04 Speaker 4: But yeah, no swears this one. If those are you

48:07 Speaker 4: nerds out there, they want to listen to it, listen

48:08 Speaker 4: to the verse because it's almost like Adams taking the

48:12 Speaker 4: tradition of the bass player is taking a traditional guitar

48:15 Speaker 4: kind of role and me, I'm just playing staccato, one

48:19 Speaker 4: note kind of guitar things on the low strings. Yeah,

48:21 Speaker 4: kind of what the bass would normally do. So I

48:23 Speaker 4: think it's kind of a cool little mixture there. And

48:26 Speaker 4: then to be really nerdy during the solo part. Basically

48:30 Speaker 4: for the it's four four times through, but the first

48:32 Speaker 4: two I'll play the fifth and he'll play the root note,

48:36 Speaker 4: and then we switch it. He'll play the root note

48:38 Speaker 4: and I'll play the fifth, Okay, and it's the same

48:40 Speaker 4: riff stuff nobody notices, but it makes us feel like

48:44 Speaker 4: we're all smart or something.

48:45 Speaker 2: Right right, No, that's cool, Yeah, that's cool. I like it.

48:48 Speaker 2: I like it. Reebend Parker. Guys, thank you again so
