Speaker 2 (00:07):
Gray.

Speaker 3 (00:08):
I'm with Nick and Buzz from Boom. Today we're going
to go a special twelve o'clock rock Boom Sish playing
the Other's Way Festival in Auckland, which looks to be
ace on the thirtieth of November. A whole host of
Great Keuy, Addison, O, SJD, dam Nator, Lady Hawk, Lady Six,
Soaked Oats, among so many more playing all across the
glorious cutting a happy road. What venue are you guys

(00:29):
playing in?

Speaker 4 (00:30):
We're double whammying at Oh Cool yay?

Speaker 3 (00:33):
Have you played there since it's been newly.

Speaker 4 (00:35):
We've only played single whammy, yes, many times. We've never
done the double so we're pretty excited about that.

Speaker 3 (00:41):
When you guys do festivals, do you get a chance
to jump around and catch other shows?

Speaker 5 (00:45):
Like?

Speaker 3 (00:45):
Is that your experience when you do something like that?

Speaker 4 (00:47):
For me, it depends on where we are in the lineup.
If we're playing late. I don't really like watching bands
before we play onto Relaxed Yeah yeah, yeah, but we
play early. I love watching bands afterwards, but we're playing
quite late, are you right? I don't know. If we're
allowed to say what slot we're in, but it's a
late night fun.

Speaker 3 (01:08):
Slot, late night fun slot, so or something like that,
isn't it, And that's it's a double whammy. Okay, right,
let's just appointments we're.

Speaker 6 (01:18):
Playing before later.

Speaker 4 (01:20):
Okay, again, I don't know if we can say stuff
like that so we can get to see her. Yeah,
we'll get to see another artist who we're excited about seeing.

Speaker 3 (01:28):
I didn't realize that there were so many political kind
of rules.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:32):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:33):
I just next world, right, So how do you Taylor? Then?
If you guys are doing festivals, do you kind of
do that thing as opposed to having your own headlining
show that you would truncate your set and just play
all the hits or how do you how do you
roll when you do festivals?

Speaker 2 (01:51):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (01:51):
We just play with hats.

Speaker 4 (01:53):
Well, we start off with like how we should play
these obscure ones, and then when it comes down to it,
we always just go no, let's just plays.

Speaker 6 (02:01):
Yeah, and we've got so many of them it's quite hard.
We have to figure out.

Speaker 3 (02:06):
Which is the song you reckon every time without fail, we'll.

Speaker 6 (02:09):
Go off life.

Speaker 3 (02:12):
It is, right, why that one is it? Because maybe
it was on the I just fortune girls like it.
You go get the girls dancing and then the rest
will follow, right, I don't know.

Speaker 4 (02:20):
I think it's a bit more singer Longie than King Kong.
Maybe King Kong is always good as well. That's probably
second on the list of jumpy life songs. But Be
Your Boy is quite a sing along tune.

Speaker 6 (02:31):
It's simple when you're drunk, it's repetitive.

Speaker 4 (02:35):
Buzz's actually got was quite lazy on the recording and
he didn't come up with new lyrics for the second year.
It's just the cut and paste, which is pretty rock
and roll.

Speaker 3 (02:45):
Well, I think without further ado. First off, the twelve
o'clock rock. Let's go onto that too, and it's true.
I do love it.

Speaker 5 (02:51):
Boom be your Boy on twelve o'clock rock on hodakyus.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
Day just gone Crazy.

Speaker 3 (03:24):
Hodaki that's Voom with phases days. The tune is called
Magic with Buzzmuller and Nick Backton from Voom. Tell me
about that tune, guys that co lab.

Speaker 4 (03:32):
Ah, Well, you're the one that teamed up.

Speaker 6 (03:35):
Okay, I did well. I was helping Amelia from phase
to Day's write tunes for her album, and I took
that one to her and I said, and she said, oh,
that sounds too much like a Voom track, and so
I was like, oh, okay, well, why don't we do
it as a Voom featuring you song?

Speaker 3 (03:51):
So we did much choice.

Speaker 6 (03:53):
That's how that came about.

Speaker 3 (03:55):
And then are you is that going to be on
an album? What?

Speaker 6 (03:58):
Yeh? That's going to be on on now album? Which
is finished? Is it it's coming out?

Speaker 3 (04:03):
Yeah? Yeah, no way, So how long has that been
in the making? For trying to think when Hello Are
You there? Came out? Was that the last one?

Speaker 6 (04:14):
No?

Speaker 3 (04:15):
It was, yes, that was six six yeah, So you've
just done EP eighteen years Holy crash.

Speaker 6 (04:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (04:25):
Oh it's unbelievable. So has it just been singles since then?
Is that?

Speaker 6 (04:29):
Yeah? It has just been singles it yeah?

Speaker 3 (04:31):
And is that for the reason of just who no
one does work?

Speaker 6 (04:34):
Albums are too much work, They take too long, especially
if you've got four kids and full time jobs, and.

Speaker 4 (04:41):
We've had life going on outside of rock. Yeah, weirdly yeah,
But now we've since about twenty twenty, we've teamed up
with Flying None, who are releasing this record that's coming out,
So that's been a real good motivator to assemble our resources,
put our tracks together in a format.

Speaker 6 (05:02):
We're actually just lifestyle rock stars.

Speaker 4 (05:05):
It is an evolutionary but it's like a comfy on Slipper,
especially with Boom. It really is. It's like it's it's
there and it feels good.

Speaker 6 (05:12):
When it's a good name for a song, then come
for the old Slipper.

Speaker 3 (05:15):
That sounds like a very title Nicked album.

Speaker 4 (05:19):
Yeah I could, which is seventeen years time. Yeah, the
next album is coming out in twenty forty.

Speaker 6 (05:30):
Slipper.

Speaker 3 (05:31):
All right, let's go into our final boom tune today,
one that I'm so going to be jumping up and
down to in the mosh when it comes to the
thirtieth it's King Kong Boom on Hidachic, so mushy. It's

(06:14):
Boom King Kong on Hadaki for twelve o'clock rock with
buzz and neck from Boom Buzz. We've talked about that
one before such with Rugby, what's the story.

Speaker 6 (06:22):
I had a mate who worked for TV three and
he said, we need a rock song for rugby ads
for the All Black season and whatever, and if you
can get me one in three months time you can
get five thousand bucks, which was like twenty thousand bucks
back then, two thousand and two.

Speaker 5 (06:39):
And.

Speaker 6 (06:41):
I was thinking, oh, cracky, okay, we need a rock song.
And I found this little demo on a cassette and
I had this funny little ditty on it, and but
it had funny lyrics. It was something like a million
bucks of hell and up your arm one time and
enough to shoot.

Speaker 3 (06:57):
Shoot, you know, that's a shoot shoot.

Speaker 6 (07:01):
And that was all it was. It was like ten
seconds long or something. And I thought, oh, that's a
good little tune. And I tried to rewrite the lyrics.
And at that time I was just thinking rugby, and
my rugby team was the Wellington Hurricanes and they needed
a good kick up the ass because they were coming last, right,
And so I wrote a sort of kick up the ass,
I'm I'm kingcom super powerful song to try and motivate them.

Speaker 3 (07:25):
How do they go on the endut of it?

Speaker 6 (07:27):
Yeah, they did really well. See the go yea.

Speaker 3 (07:34):
