Speaker 3: a lot of duo stuff, so we've been kind of
Speaker 3: rocking out black keystyle, having just Peter on guitar and
Speaker 3: myself on drums, and people have been really liking it.
Speaker 3: We've had our bass player had to relocate to Texas
Speaker 3: to be a professor teaching philosophy, so we've had to
Speaker 3: go at it on our own and we've actually really
Speaker 3: enjoyed it. So obviously involved in creative endeavors and obviously
Speaker 3: helped with the record and stuff, we've been just kind
Speaker 3: of taking to act as a duo as of late.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, it sounds like it's working out well. You know,
Speaker 1: you're keeping busy.

Speaker 3: Texas are so cool. You see that award they just won.
Speaker 1: It's hard to it's hard to keep up with it
Speaker 1: because they seem to win a lot of stuff. What's
Speaker 1: the one that they just what's the award that they
Speaker 1: just won?
Speaker 3: It was something about like New England's Society of Music
Speaker 3: or something, but they were like number one band in
Speaker 3: New England. I think I have it from loud sent
Speaker 3: it over to me, okay, so let me just see here. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it was a New England Music Awards winner Band of
Speaker 3: the Year.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, Oh, very good, very good. I think they've
Speaker 1: I know they've won at least two others over the years,
Speaker 1: so oh that's excellent. Good for them. Yeah, no, we
Speaker 1: have a great time with them. Always look forward to
Speaker 1: us Army Fest, which is gonna be I thinks a
Speaker 1: little early this year. I think it's gonna be in September. Uh,
Speaker 1: that's always a really good time. So, yeah, Jenny and
Speaker 1: I are both really big fans of Sepsis. We like
Speaker 1: them a lot, and they you know, they've been really
Speaker 1: really good to us. And William always has a lot
Speaker 1: to say whenever they come on the show.
Speaker 2: That's why he has his own show.
Speaker 3: It's so entertaining.
Speaker 1: Oh that's true. Yeah. The podcast, Yeah, uh that that
Speaker 1: gets confusing too, because they've had more than one podcast
Speaker 1: over the year. But I think is he still doing
Speaker 1: will is it William Versus the World?
Speaker 3: I haven't seen that one.
Speaker 1: Okay, I might be wrong on the title. I thought
Speaker 1: it was something like that, but uh but yeah, yeah, no,
Speaker 1: we we we like Sepsis a lot. Not everyone does.
Speaker 1: They're a little controversial in a way. I'm not exactly
Speaker 1: sure why. Uh you know, there's some people in the
Speaker 1: scene who look down on them a little bit or whatever.
Speaker 1: But uh no, Jenny and I have always had a
Speaker 1: good experience with with that band, and we you know,
Speaker 1: we've done Swarmy Fest because Matt Connorton Unleashed. We're one
Speaker 1: of the sponsors of that show, and we've done that
Speaker 1: for I think this will be our fourth year, maybe
Speaker 1: fourth or fifth, at least fourth yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so no, it was cool because Cherry Fog was
Speaker 2: kind of like an outlier at that show in a way,
Speaker 2: like a lot of the other bands were really heavy
Speaker 2: like rock and metal, maybe a little bit thrashy.
Speaker 3: But it was cool because we were able to bring
Speaker 3: that vintage kind of feel to the show and everybody
Speaker 3: seemed to appreciate it. It was like a sort of like
Speaker 3: a motif of like heavy metal and then like it
Speaker 3: was us like vintage hard rock. So it was a
Speaker 3: cool like twist of the show. I thought it was.
Speaker 1: I thought you guys fit in great though. I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, it was a little different, but but it
Speaker 1: still worked, you know. I mean, but you know, loud guitars,
Speaker 1: you know, always work. But yeah, you guys were up in.
Speaker 3: Bass, loud drums. You know, I play very lightly as
Speaker 3: you know.
