Hey, how are you?
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Yeah? Really well, thanks mate. We'reabouts in the country are
you this evening?
Speaker 3 (00:15):
I'm in sunny old Auckland today quite so.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Daily Jay grew up in Blenham that the brothers and
then moved to Auckland. You joined the band soon after.
Where are you from? Are you an Auckland fella?
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Yeah, I'm just from Auckland, Just Auckland.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Some people like to know, like which part of Auckland.
It's a big city obviously. Is there a specific suburb
that you sort of identify with?
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Grayland, PONTSVI And Yeah. We're all kind of based around
these ways now, so it's pretty handy being central.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Yeah. And what do you guys get up to during
the daytime when you're not rocking and rolling as Daily Jay?
Do you have day jobs?
Speaker 3 (00:53):
We kind of try, but to be honest, we're pretty
busy these days. So yeah, it's mainly mainly Daily Jay
most of the time now, which is pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Yeah, that's awesome.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
I spoke with the band in christ Each the other day.
They all flat together. Do you guys spend a lot
of time together.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
Yeah, the boys actually used to a flat together. I
didn't live with them.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Are you talking about when they when they lived together,
when they were living with their mum and dad growing up.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
He's brothers, obviously they've lived together a long time. Yeah,
but flatting wise, I mean in Auckland. Yeah, they kind
of all found a flat together. But yeah, since they've
have moved on to their own sort of abodes, it
can get you know, working and breathing. But they're all brothers,
so they used to growing up sort of things.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Is there a different vibe sometimes that they have, like
in jokes about all brotherly stuff that you don't sort
of know.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
No, they were pretty good. I think I'm the jokes
of the bunch making bad jokes mainly.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Yeah. Nice, we like those. Feel free to check them
in whenever you feel like. Oh yeah, so it's not
just Auckland obviously. You guys travel from time to time.
Have you been anywhere this year?
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Yeah? So we've just done our first ever UK tour
which was pretty cool London. Br was still in Manchester
and then one festival in London.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
How'd they go?
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Yeah? They went really well. I mean The crowds were
awesome at our own shows, I think, you know, they
just every show got better and better really along the way.
London was the finale and that was just unreal. The crowd,
it was just such a big response for us. So yeah,
but it's been a long time coming. I think we've
wanted to do this for so long. Finally got to
do it, and yeah it was awesome.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
UK's obviously a big place. Had you been there before.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Yeah, I had been actually, but it was actually a
couple of the boys first time, Johnny and Jaden had
never been to Europe at all. Yeah, pretty exciting stuff
for them, like first time touching foot down in Europe
at all.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
So were you a bit of a tour guide.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
A little bit, I guess. I mean I didn't know
heaps myself, but yeah, it's it's a big, big place,
so a lot to get your head around going there.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
We show them with it, how to use the tube
and you know that's the.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
River just like Aukland.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Really yeah through when they move there, I guess you
would have fell as this is our city.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
No, it's it's a big step up. Yeah, ten ten
million or so people walking around. It's pretty chaotic.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
It's something to get used to, but certainly for a
short time. You're back in New Zealand now and at
some point, probably before you left, you Fellas came up
with the song Sunday Stitches.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
It's basically, yeah, about the constant weekly cycle of being
a bit of a rut from you know, getting to
the end of the week and having a bit of
a blowout and getting through the Saturday and Sunday and
then you know, Sunday Stitches is kind of your hangover
basically and pushing through to the week and doing it
all over again.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Really well, I like that idea actually, because you know,
if you eat too much, if you go swimming too soon,
you do get the stitch and then it kind of
is like awkward on the body, and the same way
that if you get a little too steamed and you
have a hangover the next morning, you know, your body's
sort of reacting to something you shouldn't have done.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
Yeah, I think everyone can relate pretty well to it.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
So there was the inspiration. What's the vibe.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Punchy drums and guitars and hopefully it's a good energy vibe.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
All right, let's check it out.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
So I'm Rick here from Daily Jy and this is
our new song Sunday Stitches here on Hierarchy.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
It's radio a heard. Ok, that's brand new from Daily Jay.
It's called Sunday Stitches and we're lucky enough to have
Rick from the band on a zoom with us. Now
cure it, Direck, thanks for bringing us at you.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
I hope you enjoyed it.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
It's a bit a handclapping going on. There's a bit
of whistling in there too, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
I mean we're all kind of a little bit of
whistlers whistled away.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
So is that the beginning of a new collection of songs?
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Yep. That's our second single essentially from our upcoming album,
which is well along the Way.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Where are you making this new album?
Speaker 3 (05:23):
We're making in Auckland where we're based. Yeah. We've got
Joe Ferris producing it. He's doing an awesome job.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
So do you guys have your own recording space?
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Yeah, we do have a little studio at the moment.
It's a bit of a makeshift off of space that
we've sort of rehearse and work on the songs and
then we kind of take it through to the next step,
which is basically recording it live and getting producer to
do all the the next parts, you know, so the
pretty big process really how we come about.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
So the album is underway. I'm guessing it'll come out
next year.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
No, it's all on track for this yeah, yeah, yeah,

to get it done by We're really hoping for mid
November release just before summer.
