Speaker 1 (00:00):
What's up everybody.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
This is Sea Bass here for another exciting episode from
Rocking with Sea Bass. And I got two guests in
the studio right now. They are the craziest people I've
ever met. They are wild and they are party animals.
It is that arena rock show. Please welcome T Bone
and Nikki Starr.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Hello, y'all, call for crazy.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
I guess what we arrived. I told you they were crazy.
I feel like I shouldn't have brought him in here.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Look it's like our one free day off from the loom,
and then you got to give us a break.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Sebastian.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Yeah, well, well actually my real name is Sea Bass.
Okay you called him out.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Oh man, it is good to see you guys.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
It's been a while, but no, no, seriously, it is
good to see you guys. And yes, I was at
the aw show with you guys. Me and my mother
were having a great time. You guys had us.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
We apologized. You came down ringside next to us, that's
where no one was there, and you could you found
some spots that you could sit in and enjoy the show.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Right, we were like row three, Row one or two.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Yeah, we bought we bought row three, and then he
bought the upper low three hundred throw and ended up
sitting in the better seats than us. Oh you a
bad boy.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Well, actually, you know what's funny is I was watching
the NXT episode when they went over there and the
place was super sold out to the fact that there
are audience members sitting on the ramp.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
I've seen that. Yeah, it's kind a cool setup. Yeah,
it was ari. I was like, whoa man, good seats.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Yeah, And of course I went to that Monday Night Raw,
but that was a fun time.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Yeah, yeah you go.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Uh the Sincy one, my chance, Yeah, the one in Cincinnati.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
I was there for that.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
I was about to go to that one. It was
just last year's last week this Monday. Yeah, the they
got new tag team champions now. Oh the trait live
Morgan and uh Raquel, I couldn't remember name. That was
a good match. It's pretty good. Yeah, it picked up
and I was going nuts. I was like, what, No,
(02:13):
But that's not what we're to talk about. We're not
talking about wrestling. Come, I love wrestling, But we're here
to talk about what you guys have been doing lately,
and that is you guys have decided to make a
live album. Yes, yeah, we've been busy going down. So
why did you guys decide to record a live album?
Speaker 1 (02:35):
So funny enough, it kind of started with I got
this uh, I don't know what you call it, but
a thing that you can put into our uh in
your mixer that we use like live, and found out
how to use it to record stuff. So one day
(02:57):
I recorded some stuff and I was like, oh, you know,
we could easily turned that into a CD or an
album or whatever. So I actually had our drummer come
over and set up in my garage and we started
to kind of go over some things that were was
messed up in our in ear things, and I was like,
(03:18):
you know what, just go ahead and record a couple songs.
So we recorded a couple of songs, and a few
of them are actually the ones that are on the
CD or the album. So I must admit the live
album is not really one live. It's kind of a
kind of like how kiss Alive is, right, So it's
(03:39):
it's known for being a live album that really wasn't live.
That's kind of why we That's kind of why I
thought it would be a cool idea to name it.
That is Basically, I wanted it to be a souvenir
of our show that you could take home with you
and pop it in and made you feel like you
were you were at the show. So that's why there's
you know, a good amount of crowd in there. There's
(04:00):
you know, the vocals. The background vocals on it aren't
like super stacked to make it sound like, uh, you know,
the you know, the old recorded version. It's it's more
like the live version that we would play live. So
uh so. Yeah. So it also kind of started with
the drums, and our drummer, like I said, has electronic
drums and symbols, so we just had him kind of
(04:21):
record all that, and then over time everyone kind of
you know, either stopped by my house or sent it
via email to add their parts, and we we kind
of just built it from there and then you know,
throw in crowd stuff and and and all that kind
of stuff.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
But those crowd noises sound very real. I was actually
quite fooled there.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Good. That's the that's the that's the that's the plan.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
So one of my favorite songs on this album. I mean,
you guys have practically played all the songs that I
know you guys play. It's actually Still of the Night.
How hard is it t Bone to sing Still the Night?
Because that is a pretty hard song to pull off.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Well, that's actually a song we've been doing for like
several years now, so like going in and to like
a studio like format, it wasn't as like hard as
some of the ones that I haven't like done a
studio performance on, just because we had went to a
studio to record that song a couple of years ago
for our buddy Rob Nadler, and I actually had to
(05:23):
go through that one multiple times because I had most
of it down, but there was like small parts here
and there, like he wanted me to emphasize on certain parts,
So I got to fine tune all of it in
the past and over the years just doing it so much,
I got kind of used to basically projecting those vocals
the way they need to be projected, fine tuning the
keys and everything, and making sure it sounds.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
As close to the album as I can get it.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
But yeah, I mean that's one that's one where it's
always like high, you know, high energy, heart pumping, feel
good music. So that one, uh, I don't know naturally,
that one, you know, it took work, especially when as
a band we started probably like five six years ago
working on it, probably six honestly, because it was pretty
early on we did that one some of our first
headlining shows was with that song and working at like
(06:15):
timing and everything. Like timing for me has always been
like a struggle just figuring that out. Like on certain songs,
sometimes it'll be like I'll get it immediately, other times
it's just got to work on it a little.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
A lot of funky rhythms even melodically, like yeah for
your parts and stuff.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
So I actually remember when you guys performed the music
video for Still the Night. I remember watching that and
you guys really like nailed it, like each angle, like
each part, and like, yeah, that was pretty impressive.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Yeah, we went up to the King of Clubs and
film that.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
It was at the King of Clubs.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Yeah, all all of it, besides like the parking garage.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
I think we were at the Nationwide Arena Parking Garage.
I think that's where we were at to film like
the some of like the car scenes and stuff.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Yeah, it took a long took a long time.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
So it was it's funny and like looking back at
that experience because it was so much fun. But yet
I was so stressed out at the same time because
I wanted to be as close as I could, like, yeah,
identical to the like the moves and stuff that are
happening in that video.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
I was stressing out.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
I remember Maya. She looked at me and she was like,
why are you so angry? Rightly frustrated because I didn't
do that right.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
I feel like I should do that take again.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
But I was happy with those those guys that did
it really did a good job of like lining up
scene by scene and knocking out I actually, for our
live show, I have the original video on like our
side screens and then our video on the middle screen,
and it's crazy how much you know it lines up.
And honestly, the star of that is your wife. Did
(07:50):
a hell of a job. I was proud portraying Tony
Katine and then so.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Yeah, she does a great job of portraying Tawny. I
super surprised how she was doing it, and I was like, man,
she pulls that off really well. She could be Tawny
contained this whole time.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Yeah, it was there. Yeah, it's crazy. I think I
even put out like a it was a long time ago,
but I put out a reel that showed it next
to each other, and it's it's pretty cool, how like
almost dead on it is.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Well, with that being said, I'm actually opening your guys
a CD case here, which I gotta admit, it's pretty
impressive that you guys have a case for this thing.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
We were just gonna we were just gonna make the
CD and scribble on in that arena rock show c
you know, CDR burn It and our burnet in our basement.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
It's a bootleg. Well, I like the artwork on here
and a lot of the pictures here. I noticed that
Haul Cogan is on here for some reason.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
In the inside.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
Yeah, on the outside like her, So yeah, the the outside,
the front of it was kind of that's like the
show poster that we use for like all of our shows.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
So I was like that just kind of it kind
of just works. So that'll be the front cover. And
then like artwork wise, I wanted to model it after
kiss Alive, like on the back. If you look at it,
if you look if you held kiss Alive up next
to it and flipped it over and looked at the
two backs, they're pretty close to like the same thing,
especially on the vinyl version because it'll say disc one
(09:21):
and disc two. Obviously you don't do that with a CD.
But but yeah, it was kind of based off of that.
But then on the inside, you know, from like the
CD tray and the back cover of the booklet, I
wanted it to kind of be like our show, but
like on the inside, I wanted it to be more
about like what what does it take to make that
(09:43):
show happen? And there's a lot of pictures in there
of the people that help us. There's a lot of
pictures in there of just you know, goofing around or whatever,
and that is really, you know, more what we see
when we're traveling around, you know, and then the outside
is really what like most people see. You know. So
(10:05):
we just started. I just thought it'd be kind of
cool of an idea to to give people a glimpse of,
you know, what the inside workings of the band and
show is.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
I like how you describe that, because I mean that's
really kind of how like I look at the pictures
of it. You got the outside that is our show
as a product, like presenting it, and then out right
on the back you've got our show included with the
people behind it, the fans and everything, like the energy
that you know we need on those shows. And then
the inside is like what the show entails like in
terms of like the building the product and putting it
(10:35):
together in just our lives.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Yeah, so yeah, I like that there's a there's actually
where is it? Let me see it? Right?
Speaker 3 (10:41):
Have you seen this justin like pictures you've sent me,
but not like up close actually.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Trying to think there's any funny ones. So there's the
at your that's cool. Yeah, I want to be bleeding one.
Actually is.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
What is that?
Speaker 1 (11:00):
I think it's on the I see the holster. Yeah,
we're in clear Water, Florida, and Carl the guy that
drives us from time to time, ended up running into
hal Cogan down there and got a picture with him.
And then there's Carl also with a do rag on.
I see.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
I think it's Charlie over there? Is he getting wady
of spray paint something? What's he's spray painting?
Speaker 1 (11:25):
I think that's hair spray.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Oh, that's hair spray Okay, I thought paint.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
So yeah, it's I saw all of the people that
are pretty much there to help us are in this,
uh in this little booklet?
Speaker 2 (11:36):
So, well, do you guys ever plan on making like
an alive to kind of like what kissed?
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Maybe? Perhaps it was a very expensive project. Uh, it was.
It took a lot of time, to be honest with you. So,
like I said, I would go in there and like
take Seawn's drums and clean them up like in garage band,
and then send them over to the guy that mixed it,
and then he made it all sound really fancy and
(12:03):
stuff like that. But I would kind of do that
with everything like the bass, the guitar, the backing vocals.
I'd kind of put it all in there and get
it all sounding as good as I could and then
send it over to the guy that mixed it, and
then he kind of added his magic to it. But yeah,
it was a very It took a lot of time,
and like I said, it was probably a six to
(12:25):
seven thousand dollars project. And we ordered three hundred CDs
and three hundred vinyls. So if we sell them all,
we'll make our money back. So and maybe and some maybe.
So do you guys know how much you sold yet? Well,
they're not for sale yet. Well, we have sold them
(12:45):
online and there's been quite a few that have come
through there, but we're really like, the main goal is
to have them to sell at a show we're playing
on April fourth in Covington, Kentucky at the Madison Theater,
where we're planning to release these to where they're for
sale at our shows and and then eventually it'll come
(13:07):
out digitally, but we wanted to give it time to
breathe for people to buy the physical product, right because
these will be limited. I don't I don't know that
it's going to be something that we carry all the time.
Maybe the CDs, the vinyl that might be the that
might be the only patch we make of it. But
because that's those are really expensive. But we'll see about
the CDs, and you have to pay a licensing fee
(13:28):
for all these songs. I think the bill for putting
it on three hundred CDs and three hundred vinyl was
like twelve hundred bucks. So it's like, you know, like
I said, is it is an expensive project, but we
wanted to do it. We get a lot of people
that have you know, at the shows, are like, do
you guys have any CDs or whatnot? Like you know,
(13:49):
and I've always thought, you know what we're you know,
a tribute you know, a tribute band or celebration of
eighties rock, like what do you want a CD of?
You know, but you know, maybe they wanted the live
versions of the songs, you know, So that's what we thought.
This could be a really cool way to put that out.
And then you know, who knows, in the future, if
this goes well, maybe we'll do, like you said, in
(14:11):
a live too, or you know, maybe even an original
project that sometime. We've been talking about that for many
years and we've messed around with a song once. Yeah,
and so who knows, maybe well we'll explore that, you know,
even more as time goes on.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Speaking of your Guys's shows, when I went to one
of your Guys show last time it was in Bogarts,
I noticed that your guys a set was bigger than
it ever has been. I mean, I'm sitting there like, man,
there are set that gets bigger and bigger every time
I come. How do you guys come up with these
even crazier sets? Because the one part of the set
(14:50):
I really like was when you guys had that Stranger
Things tribute. I thought that was cool.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Yes, I think it was August when we were like,
we really need to just change up our show quite
a bit it and add some new elements to it.
And I think most of us in the band are
Stranger Things fans, so that was kind of like an
easy one, like, oh yeah, we should definitely do that
because it's based in the eighties and the Metallica Master
(15:15):
Puppets was a big part of that show, Eddie being
a big part of that show, so we thought, well,
why don't we have our guitar player dress up as
Eddie and and do the solo for that. And that's
a tough song, believe it or not, especially on guitar
for rhythm, I can't even imagine what it is on lead,
but it's rough for me.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
I'm pretty sure it's as hard as when you guys
are yelling Master Master.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Oh I don't even do that. We don't even do that.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Yeah, but it would have been harder if you guys
did do it. Yeah, I mean, I noticed you guys
are singing some Metallica. I think you guys sing Inner
Saman If I recall that is correct, How hard is
that song? Because that's gotta be a tough song. It's
a master of publicize.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Well, you know, by the time we get to that song,
it's like halfway through the set, and I mean I
can only speak on like my end of the vocal
end on that, but I mean at that point in
the show, like I'm pretty warmed up at that point,
and I gotta fluctuate to a different range, basically a
lower range of more coarser courser vocals. But for me,
(16:20):
I mean I try to treat that with a high
energy song. Crowd even gets to sing a lot of
that too.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
On the chorus.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
I try to get them up and jump in and stuff.
Believe it or not.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
That gives me a minute to like get some air
back into my body.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
And the more air I got, the more I can project.
But yeah, I mean it's it takes a lot out
of you. But at the same time, if.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
You know when to take your breaths and get your
energy back up, not too bad.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
So speaking of that, is there any song that you
guys haven't played but really want to play. There's a
lot problem, There's probably a lot.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
You know, we basically pick our set list to reflect
like a very generic fan of eighties rock, right because
we can't play like for me, like I'm a huge
kiss fan, but we can't play you know, an obscure
kiss song off of the Elder or something that no
one knows, you know, and let alone a big crowd
(17:17):
of people, Like when we play the phrase pavilion, there's
four thousand people there. You want to play songs that
like everyone in the crowd knows every single song that
we play, So we end up playing you know, majority
of like the hits. Now, there are still I think
a lot of hit songs that we haven't touched that
I think we will, Like it's been kind of a
(17:38):
goal to like every year switch things up quite a bit,
and last year we were able to do it, and
I think this year we'll probably do the same thing.
But but yeah, there's there's definitely some hits that I
still think we could do. Like I I've always envisioned
us doing like talk Dirty to Me, and we've never
done it, but you guys have not. I actually know that. Yeah,
(17:59):
do you think of.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
Anything aside from the general like B sides and stuff like? Yeah,
I mean, you know, I think a big like misconception
a lot of people think about like our show is like, oh,
we're only playing to like people who are like in
their sixties, seventies and eighties or whatever. The people that
were there, like no, like you'd be surprised. There's like
(18:20):
there's a bunch of like teenagers, younger kids. There's so
many little kids at our shows that like their parents
would be like, oh, this is their first concert, and
they'll be like teenagers and stuff like this is my
first concert I've ever.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Been to, and I'm like whoa.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
So, like, you know, if you play the most obscure
thing ever, I mean, yeah, we may love it, but
you know, not everyone's gonna understand that. They're gonna know
what's you know playing on everyday radio. Maybe something that
uh plays you know, music from every genre basically mm
hm no songs top of my head. I mean we've
done like that.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
I always wanted to do Stairway, and.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
I'm glad that we finally did that. So that's been
like a favorite of mine.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
I don't know, there's so much Gypsy Road from Cinderella
comes to mind. Oh yeah, that'd be tight. I think
that would be a cool one to sing. Now, there
is one thing I've actually noticed that your guy just
show you that you've been doing lately is you've been
bringing like a member of the audience onto the show
to play an instrument, like the drums. There was a
(19:19):
video I saw you had like a kid played the
drums with you.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Yeah. Yeah, there's a young kid in Warren, Ohio. His
name is Brett Miller. He plays in a band called
let Me See let me think this is true, the
Houckin' phil Billies.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Ah Okay, he.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Messed that up. You might might get fined, but yeah,
he uh you know, we we seen him out there
having a good time and uh, you know, asked him
to come up and play a song, and he knew
a bunch of eighties rock songs, so we uh we
jammed a rat round and round with him, which was
a lot of fun.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Don't let him lie to you.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
They're just egotistical kids that are just want to be like, hey,
I want to play, let me And then we're like, okay.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
All right, the parents are getting mad. I guess we'll out. Yeah, sure, yeah,
that'll get Maybe they'll have Michael Myers come at you
like last time. Remember that he'd be like that. He
even showed up to that like my wedding.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Yeah, oh yeah, that's right, he did. I think he
tried to kill me.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
He probably did. He did play guitar one time, he
did the Rock and Roll Night he did.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
So I noticed, you guys have you know, two new members, Charlie,
and I have a question here. How did you guys
get a hold of Charlie? And his name is Charlie Cash,
if I recall, yes.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Yeah, yeah, I was. I was looking for a guitar
player and I didn't have anyone like well, the few
people that I had lined up already had you know,
other jobs, they were in other bands and stuff like that,
and that I thought, you know, could fill in for
us for a while, And that was an idea. But
(21:03):
I started looking around on Facebook and I came across
like a Dayton musicians wanted kind of a thing, and
I was looking. There's someone posted like need a guitar player.
There's all these people that left comments, and I looked up.
I was looking through him and I seen Charlie on there.
I clicked on his page and I seen that he
(21:24):
was like he played. I think he had a video
of him doing Crazy Train or something like that. And
so I was like, I'm gonna write this guy and
see what he's got going on and so I wrote him,
didn't hear anything back. I noticed a friend of mine
was friends with him, so I wrote him. I was like, hey,
can you message this kid? I don't think he's getting
my message. Do you think you could, you know, put
(21:46):
him in contact with me? And he did and I said, Hey,
we've got a show coming up in a week and
I need a guitar player to learn all twenty songs
and you know, be able to perform it live on stage.
Is this something you could do? And he and he's like,
give me a give me a little bit and I'll
get back to you. So I guess he must have
like looked up all the songs and was trying to
(22:07):
see how hard it would be, and then like about
an hour later, he's like, yeah, I can do this,
and I'm like, okay, cool, not realizing the kid was
like eighteen or seventeen or eighteen or something in high school,
so he had to actually skip like one of his
last days of high school to come play his first
show with us, and he did a hell of a
(22:28):
job and he's still with us today.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
Ruining the youth's future one day at a time.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
No, he said, he pulled up he chiped in something
on chat? Was it Google? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (22:39):
So I went on the Google and out of curiosity,
I was like, oh, who are the new members of
that arena rock show? So I typed in is through
a Charlie and the band, and AI pops out of nowhere,
literally showing some of some of his info, and I'm like,
holy cow work.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
Didn you say like he said in there that he
was going to go to college but he ended up
joining the band? You guys, Yeah, which is true.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
It is true.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
We're ruining, ruining the youth, that's what we do.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
I actually sat there like, Okay, that kind of kind
of scary the fact that I knows that, But okay,
that is creepy. Then of course, you guys have a
new drummer. His name is Sean Rocan. Is that right?
Speaker 1 (23:17):
No, it's Sean Rockin. That's rocking, like dawkin.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
I wanted to say that Sean Sean. Every time I
hear Sean rock And I keep on thinking like, huh
does he get the whole rush?
Speaker 1 (23:28):
That's funny, you said, Rokan. I remember being in high
school and there was a doc and cd uh sitting
in my mom's car as I was taking We were
taking like a friend of mine home, and the kid
looked looked at me. He was like, who is doking'
that's what That's what mom said.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
My mom literally say Hey, We're going to see this
band called Doak, And I'm like, who's doking?
Speaker 3 (23:51):
So?
Speaker 1 (23:51):
How did you guys get a hold with Sean? So
Sean used to print our T shirts. And I knew
he was a drummer. I didn't know he was into
a uh well, I knew he liked rat, but I
didn't know that he was like a big eighties rock fan.
And I messaged him when I was like, hey, we've
had some shows coming up. We've got it kind of
covered for a minute, but we you know, long term,
we're going to be needing somebody. Is there any chance
(24:13):
you'd be interested in filling in you know, here and.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
There or what?
Speaker 1 (24:17):
And he was like, man, I'm I'm down to do
you know, the whole thing. So, you know, we we
had him come out and kind of check out the
show a few times, and you know, put him through
the uh you know, we we put him to work
learning all that stuff and and would rehearse with him
a few times, and finally he got it to where
it's it sounded really really good, and we're like, all right,
(24:38):
well let's just take this out and and and move
on and let's see how this goes. And uh yeah,
he's been killing it since so wow. Yeah. The great
thing about both of them is both are extremely talented,
but they're just both great people. And uh that's that's
been really nice to to have in this whole thing,
(24:58):
because you know, you travel with people, you know, what
is it two days, three days a week with our schedule,
and and you've got to get along with him or
it's just going to be miserable. And thankfully, you know,
everyone in this group is really easy to get along with.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
So I think this is the tightest you guys ever been.
I mean, I see some of the videos and you
guys seem really happy. And I noticed some of the
videos where you guys do some wrestling moods, and I
notice one where you got busted open.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
Good job, by the way, Yeah that's a blade job done?
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Did it to yourself up? Maybe you should get a
contract for a w or WWE.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Well, I was trying.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
Yeah, there's always like his promo video, were trying to
get him in there.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
There's actually a wrestler down in OVW.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
He looks like c C.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
The vill He plays the guitar and everything that like
that literally is his character. You do like the Jeff
Jared thing where he like beats people with a guitar.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
Way, Yes, well.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
He's a pretty cool guy. But I sat there, I
was like, oh, look at c C. The bill you wrestle.
Well that that was interesting. So so my last question
is this guy. So I was on Facebook, you know,
looking at you know, a bunch of things, and I
saw the eighties Facebook page and they were talking about,
you know, the who should play in the halftime show?
Speaker 1 (26:15):
And literally, I kid you not.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
I see a few comments mentioning you guys, would you
guys be down to actually play in the halftime show?
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Absolutely not, I can't afford us.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
It depends what's the thing, you know?
Speaker 3 (26:29):
Now, I mean it, it'd be fun.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
You know. I think most of the time.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
They will typically go with a national artist that's been
around for quite a while. So for tribute bands, it's
be kind of at this time in human history, it's
kind of unheard of. But hey, you know what, stranger
things have happened.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
That's true. So you know, we got notice, but tribute
bands are playing, you know, like River Bend and the
Brady Center, they are. There's there's like a Pink Floyd one,
there's a Taylor Swift one. So I really do think
that there's a big future for that because the bands
that we're covering some most of them are gone, most
(27:10):
of them don't exist, or if they do, they don't
sound like they used.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
To or.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
Or whatnot. But you know, so I don't know. It
kind of gives me hope when I see that kind
of stuff, like, you know, this could you know, it
could be a really long career with it if I
want to do.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
I just think it's impressive to how much your guys's
fan base has like really grown. Even in that page,
I was just like, whoa, these people know that are
in a rock show and they want them to be
at the halftime show.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
Yeah, yeah, it is Uh, it's cool. It's cool. That's
to see how this thing has grown. And you know,
there's people all over the country that come to see us.
And that's what's cool about this year is we're going
to be playing literally all over the country. If if
I'll be surprised if we don't touch, whether travel or
playing almost every state of the forty eight, you know, contiguous, contiguous,
(27:57):
what is it the states that are all together?
Speaker 2 (28:04):
Yeah, I know what you go for.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
I feel like we're gonna pretty much hit almost every
single one of them. Uh you know, drive through Maybe
not the north.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
Maybe not like yes, in the Northeast. Maybe not Washington,
like like state of Washington. Were getting close to getting
close to it.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
We'll be a gig. We're playing in Idaho. That's like, oh,
if it's right, ten miles or something from it, So
hopefully we'll get a Washington gig or something. We drive
there out of Spike, drive over the line, like all right,
we made it and we did it all right, packing
bags going home.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
Well, guys, it was great to have you on here.
It's always good to hear you guys, and I look
forward to seeing you guys the next show. When's your
next next show? You want to tell the audience, Well,
the next local one.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
Yeah, the next local one would.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
Be April fourth.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
Yes, it is the Covington one and at the Madison
Live is a Madison Live, Madison Theater. Okay, so the
Madison Theater April fourth, we'll be doing our album release party.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
So nice.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
Everyone who wants to get a copy of the CD
or at least get a you know, an order on
the vinyl and get first DIBs if you show up
and get there.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
All right, Well, thank you guys for coming in, and
thank you for not destroying the studio. By the way,
how we haven't left yet.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
Yeah, it's not over. We're until you hit the stop button.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
Oh dear h Well, ladies and gentlemen, thank you for
listening to rocking with Sea Bass. I may not come
back from this because you will. Things could be destroyed anyway.
Take care and keep rocking.
What's up everybody.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
This is Sea Bass here for another exciting episode from
Rocking with Sea Bass. And I got two guests in
the studio right now. They are the craziest people I've
ever met. They are wild and they are party animals.
It is that arena rock show. Please welcome T Bone
and Nikki Starr.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Hello, y'all, call for crazy.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
I guess what we arrived. I told you they were crazy.
I feel like I shouldn't have brought him in here.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Look it's like our one free day off from the loom,
and then you got to give us a break.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Sebastian.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Yeah, well, well actually my real name is Sea Bass.
Okay you called him out.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Oh man, it is good to see you guys.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
It's been a while, but no, no, seriously, it is
good to see you guys. And yes, I was at
the aw show with you guys. Me and my mother
were having a great time. You guys had us.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
We apologized. You came down ringside next to us, that's
where no one was there, and you could you found
some spots that you could sit in and enjoy the show.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Right, we were like row three, Row one or two.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Yeah, we bought we bought row three, and then he
bought the upper low three hundred throw and ended up
sitting in the better seats than us. Oh you a
bad boy.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Well, actually, you know what's funny is I was watching
the NXT episode when they went over there and the
place was super sold out to the fact that there
are audience members sitting on the ramp.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
I've seen that. Yeah, it's kind a cool setup. Yeah,
it was ari. I was like, whoa man, good seats.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Yeah, And of course I went to that Monday Night Raw,
but that was a fun time.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Yeah, yeah you go.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Uh the Sincy one, my chance, Yeah, the one in Cincinnati.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
I was there for that.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
I was about to go to that one. It was
just last year's last week this Monday. Yeah, the they
got new tag team champions now. Oh the trait live
Morgan and uh Raquel, I couldn't remember name. That was
a good match. It's pretty good. Yeah, it picked up
and I was going nuts. I was like, what, No,
(02:13):
But that's not what we're to talk about. We're not
talking about wrestling. Come, I love wrestling, But we're here
to talk about what you guys have been doing lately,
and that is you guys have decided to make a
live album. Yes, yeah, we've been busy going down. So
why did you guys decide to record a live album?
Speaker 1 (02:35):
So funny enough, it kind of started with I got
this uh, I don't know what you call it, but
a thing that you can put into our uh in
your mixer that we use like live, and found out
how to use it to record stuff. So one day
(02:57):
I recorded some stuff and I was like, oh, you know,
we could easily turned that into a CD or an
album or whatever. So I actually had our drummer come
over and set up in my garage and we started
to kind of go over some things that were was
messed up in our in ear things, and I was like,
(03:18):
you know what, just go ahead and record a couple songs.
So we recorded a couple of songs, and a few
of them are actually the ones that are on the
CD or the album. So I must admit the live
album is not really one live. It's kind of a
kind of like how kiss Alive is, right, So it's
(03:39):
it's known for being a live album that really wasn't live.
That's kind of why we That's kind of why I
thought it would be a cool idea to name it.
That is Basically, I wanted it to be a souvenir
of our show that you could take home with you
and pop it in and made you feel like you
were you were at the show. So that's why there's
you know, a good amount of crowd in there. There's
(04:00):
you know, the vocals. The background vocals on it aren't
like super stacked to make it sound like, uh, you know,
the you know, the old recorded version. It's it's more
like the live version that we would play live. So
uh so. Yeah. So it also kind of started with
the drums, and our drummer, like I said, has electronic
drums and symbols, so we just had him kind of
(04:21):
record all that, and then over time everyone kind of
you know, either stopped by my house or sent it
via email to add their parts, and we we kind
of just built it from there and then you know,
throw in crowd stuff and and and all that kind
of stuff.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
But those crowd noises sound very real. I was actually
quite fooled there.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Good. That's the that's the that's the that's the plan.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
So one of my favorite songs on this album. I mean,
you guys have practically played all the songs that I
know you guys play. It's actually Still of the Night.
How hard is it t Bone to sing Still the Night?
Because that is a pretty hard song to pull off.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Well, that's actually a song we've been doing for like
several years now, so like going in and to like
a studio like format, it wasn't as like hard as
some of the ones that I haven't like done a
studio performance on, just because we had went to a
studio to record that song a couple of years ago
for our buddy Rob Nadler, and I actually had to
(05:23):
go through that one multiple times because I had most
of it down, but there was like small parts here
and there, like he wanted me to emphasize on certain parts,
So I got to fine tune all of it in
the past and over the years just doing it so much,
I got kind of used to basically projecting those vocals
the way they need to be projected, fine tuning the
keys and everything, and making sure it sounds.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
As close to the album as I can get it.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
But yeah, I mean that's one that's one where it's
always like high, you know, high energy, heart pumping, feel
good music. So that one, uh, I don't know naturally,
that one, you know, it took work, especially when as
a band we started probably like five six years ago
working on it, probably six honestly, because it was pretty
early on we did that one some of our first
headlining shows was with that song and working at like
(06:15):
timing and everything. Like timing for me has always been
like a struggle just figuring that out. Like on certain songs,
sometimes it'll be like I'll get it immediately, other times
it's just got to work on it a little.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
A lot of funky rhythms even melodically, like yeah for
your parts and stuff.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
So I actually remember when you guys performed the music
video for Still the Night. I remember watching that and
you guys really like nailed it, like each angle, like
each part, and like, yeah, that was pretty impressive.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Yeah, we went up to the King of Clubs and
film that.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
It was at the King of Clubs.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Yeah, all all of it, besides like the parking garage.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
I think we were at the Nationwide Arena Parking Garage.
I think that's where we were at to film like
the some of like the car scenes and stuff.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Yeah, it took a long took a long time.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
So it was it's funny and like looking back at
that experience because it was so much fun. But yet
I was so stressed out at the same time because
I wanted to be as close as I could, like, yeah,
identical to the like the moves and stuff that are
happening in that video.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
I was stressing out.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
I remember Maya. She looked at me and she was like,
why are you so angry? Rightly frustrated because I didn't
do that right.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
I feel like I should do that take again.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
But I was happy with those those guys that did
it really did a good job of like lining up
scene by scene and knocking out I actually, for our
live show, I have the original video on like our
side screens and then our video on the middle screen,
and it's crazy how much you know it lines up.
And honestly, the star of that is your wife. Did
(07:50):
a hell of a job. I was proud portraying Tony
Katine and then so.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Yeah, she does a great job of portraying Tawny. I
super surprised how she was doing it, and I was like, man,
she pulls that off really well. She could be Tawny
contained this whole time.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Yeah, it was there. Yeah, it's crazy. I think I
even put out like a it was a long time ago,
but I put out a reel that showed it next
to each other, and it's it's pretty cool, how like
almost dead on it is.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Well, with that being said, I'm actually opening your guys
a CD case here, which I gotta admit, it's pretty
impressive that you guys have a case for this thing.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
We were just gonna we were just gonna make the
CD and scribble on in that arena rock show c
you know, CDR burn It and our burnet in our basement.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
It's a bootleg. Well, I like the artwork on here
and a lot of the pictures here. I noticed that
Haul Cogan is on here for some reason.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
In the inside.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
Yeah, on the outside like her, So yeah, the the outside,
the front of it was kind of that's like the
show poster that we use for like all of our shows.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
So I was like that just kind of it kind
of just works. So that'll be the front cover. And
then like artwork wise, I wanted to model it after
kiss Alive, like on the back. If you look at it,
if you look if you held kiss Alive up next
to it and flipped it over and looked at the
two backs, they're pretty close to like the same thing,
especially on the vinyl version because it'll say disc one
(09:21):
and disc two. Obviously you don't do that with a CD.
But but yeah, it was kind of based off of that.
But then on the inside, you know, from like the
CD tray and the back cover of the booklet, I
wanted it to kind of be like our show, but
like on the inside, I wanted it to be more
about like what what does it take to make that
(09:43):
show happen? And there's a lot of pictures in there
of the people that help us. There's a lot of
pictures in there of just you know, goofing around or whatever,
and that is really, you know, more what we see
when we're traveling around, you know, and then the outside
is really what like most people see. You know. So
(10:05):
we just started. I just thought it'd be kind of
cool of an idea to to give people a glimpse of,
you know, what the inside workings of the band and
show is.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
I like how you describe that, because I mean that's
really kind of how like I look at the pictures
of it. You got the outside that is our show
as a product, like presenting it, and then out right
on the back you've got our show included with the
people behind it, the fans and everything, like the energy
that you know we need on those shows. And then
the inside is like what the show entails like in
terms of like the building the product and putting it
(10:35):
together in just our lives.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Yeah, so yeah, I like that there's a there's actually
where is it? Let me see it? Right?
Speaker 3 (10:41):
Have you seen this justin like pictures you've sent me,
but not like up close actually.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Trying to think there's any funny ones. So there's the
at your that's cool. Yeah, I want to be bleeding one.
Actually is.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
What is that?
Speaker 1 (11:00):
I think it's on the I see the holster. Yeah,
we're in clear Water, Florida, and Carl the guy that
drives us from time to time, ended up running into
hal Cogan down there and got a picture with him.
And then there's Carl also with a do rag on.
I see.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
I think it's Charlie over there? Is he getting wady
of spray paint something? What's he's spray painting?
Speaker 1 (11:25):
I think that's hair spray.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Oh, that's hair spray Okay, I thought paint.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
So yeah, it's I saw all of the people that
are pretty much there to help us are in this,
uh in this little booklet?
Speaker 2 (11:36):
So, well, do you guys ever plan on making like
an alive to kind of like what kissed?
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Maybe? Perhaps it was a very expensive project. Uh, it was.
It took a lot of time, to be honest with you. So,
like I said, I would go in there and like
take Seawn's drums and clean them up like in garage band,
and then send them over to the guy that mixed it,
and then he made it all sound really fancy and
(12:03):
stuff like that. But I would kind of do that
with everything like the bass, the guitar, the backing vocals.
I'd kind of put it all in there and get
it all sounding as good as I could and then
send it over to the guy that mixed it, and
then he kind of added his magic to it. But yeah,
it was a very It took a lot of time,
and like I said, it was probably a six to
(12:25):
seven thousand dollars project. And we ordered three hundred CDs
and three hundred vinyls. So if we sell them all,
we'll make our money back. So and maybe and some maybe.
So do you guys know how much you sold yet? Well,
they're not for sale yet. Well, we have sold them
(12:45):
online and there's been quite a few that have come
through there, but we're really like, the main goal is
to have them to sell at a show we're playing
on April fourth in Covington, Kentucky at the Madison Theater,
where we're planning to release these to where they're for
sale at our shows and and then eventually it'll come
(13:07):
out digitally, but we wanted to give it time to
breathe for people to buy the physical product, right because
these will be limited. I don't I don't know that
it's going to be something that we carry all the time.
Maybe the CDs, the vinyl that might be the that
might be the only patch we make of it. But
because that's those are really expensive. But we'll see about
the CDs, and you have to pay a licensing fee
(13:28):
for all these songs. I think the bill for putting
it on three hundred CDs and three hundred vinyl was
like twelve hundred bucks. So it's like, you know, like
I said, is it is an expensive project, but we
wanted to do it. We get a lot of people
that have you know, at the shows, are like, do
you guys have any CDs or whatnot? Like you know,
(13:49):
and I've always thought, you know what we're you know,
a tribute you know, a tribute band or celebration of
eighties rock, like what do you want a CD of?
You know, but you know, maybe they wanted the live
versions of the songs, you know, So that's what we thought.
This could be a really cool way to put that out.
And then you know, who knows, in the future, if
this goes well, maybe we'll do, like you said, in
(14:11):
a live too, or you know, maybe even an original
project that sometime. We've been talking about that for many
years and we've messed around with a song once. Yeah,
and so who knows, maybe well we'll explore that, you know,
even more as time goes on.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Speaking of your Guys's shows, when I went to one
of your Guys show last time it was in Bogarts,
I noticed that your guys a set was bigger than
it ever has been. I mean, I'm sitting there like, man,
there are set that gets bigger and bigger every time
I come. How do you guys come up with these
even crazier sets? Because the one part of the set
(14:50):
I really like was when you guys had that Stranger
Things tribute. I thought that was cool.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Yes, I think it was August when we were like,
we really need to just change up our show quite
a bit it and add some new elements to it.
And I think most of us in the band are
Stranger Things fans, so that was kind of like an
easy one, like, oh yeah, we should definitely do that
because it's based in the eighties and the Metallica Master
(15:15):
Puppets was a big part of that show, Eddie being
a big part of that show, so we thought, well,
why don't we have our guitar player dress up as
Eddie and and do the solo for that. And that's
a tough song, believe it or not, especially on guitar
for rhythm, I can't even imagine what it is on lead,
but it's rough for me.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
I'm pretty sure it's as hard as when you guys
are yelling Master Master.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Oh I don't even do that. We don't even do that.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Yeah, but it would have been harder if you guys
did do it. Yeah, I mean, I noticed you guys
are singing some Metallica. I think you guys sing Inner
Saman If I recall that is correct, How hard is
that song? Because that's gotta be a tough song. It's
a master of publicize.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Well, you know, by the time we get to that song,
it's like halfway through the set, and I mean I
can only speak on like my end of the vocal
end on that, but I mean at that point in
the show, like I'm pretty warmed up at that point,
and I gotta fluctuate to a different range, basically a
lower range of more coarser courser vocals. But for me,
(16:20):
I mean I try to treat that with a high
energy song. Crowd even gets to sing a lot of
that too.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
On the chorus.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
I try to get them up and jump in and stuff.
Believe it or not.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
That gives me a minute to like get some air
back into my body.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
And the more air I got, the more I can project.
But yeah, I mean it's it takes a lot out
of you. But at the same time, if.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
You know when to take your breaths and get your
energy back up, not too bad.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
So speaking of that, is there any song that you
guys haven't played but really want to play. There's a
lot problem, There's probably a lot.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
You know, we basically pick our set list to reflect
like a very generic fan of eighties rock, right because
we can't play like for me, like I'm a huge
kiss fan, but we can't play you know, an obscure
kiss song off of the Elder or something that no
one knows, you know, and let alone a big crowd
(17:17):
of people, Like when we play the phrase pavilion, there's
four thousand people there. You want to play songs that
like everyone in the crowd knows every single song that
we play, So we end up playing you know, majority
of like the hits. Now, there are still I think
a lot of hit songs that we haven't touched that
I think we will, Like it's been kind of a
(17:38):
goal to like every year switch things up quite a bit,
and last year we were able to do it, and
I think this year we'll probably do the same thing.
But but yeah, there's there's definitely some hits that I
still think we could do. Like I I've always envisioned
us doing like talk Dirty to Me, and we've never
done it, but you guys have not. I actually know that. Yeah,
(17:59):
do you think of.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
Anything aside from the general like B sides and stuff like? Yeah,
I mean, you know, I think a big like misconception
a lot of people think about like our show is like, oh,
we're only playing to like people who are like in
their sixties, seventies and eighties or whatever. The people that
were there, like no, like you'd be surprised. There's like
(18:20):
there's a bunch of like teenagers, younger kids. There's so
many little kids at our shows that like their parents
would be like, oh, this is their first concert, and
they'll be like teenagers and stuff like this is my
first concert I've ever.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Been to, and I'm like whoa.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
So, like, you know, if you play the most obscure
thing ever, I mean, yeah, we may love it, but
you know, not everyone's gonna understand that. They're gonna know
what's you know playing on everyday radio. Maybe something that
uh plays you know, music from every genre basically mm
hm no songs top of my head. I mean we've
done like that.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
I always wanted to do Stairway, and.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
I'm glad that we finally did that. So that's been
like a favorite of mine.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
I don't know, there's so much Gypsy Road from Cinderella
comes to mind. Oh yeah, that'd be tight. I think
that would be a cool one to sing. Now, there
is one thing I've actually noticed that your guy just
show you that you've been doing lately is you've been
bringing like a member of the audience onto the show
to play an instrument, like the drums. There was a
(19:19):
video I saw you had like a kid played the
drums with you.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Yeah. Yeah, there's a young kid in Warren, Ohio. His
name is Brett Miller. He plays in a band called
let Me See let me think this is true, the
Houckin' phil Billies.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Ah Okay, he.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Messed that up. You might might get fined, but yeah,
he uh you know, we we seen him out there
having a good time and uh, you know, asked him
to come up and play a song, and he knew
a bunch of eighties rock songs, so we uh we
jammed a rat round and round with him, which was
a lot of fun.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Don't let him lie to you.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
They're just egotistical kids that are just want to be like, hey,
I want to play, let me And then we're like, okay.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
All right, the parents are getting mad. I guess we'll out. Yeah, sure, yeah,
that'll get Maybe they'll have Michael Myers come at you
like last time. Remember that he'd be like that. He
even showed up to that like my wedding.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Yeah, oh yeah, that's right, he did. I think he
tried to kill me.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
He probably did. He did play guitar one time, he
did the Rock and Roll Night he did.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
So I noticed, you guys have you know, two new members, Charlie,
and I have a question here. How did you guys
get a hold of Charlie? And his name is Charlie Cash,
if I recall, yes.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Yeah, yeah, I was. I was looking for a guitar
player and I didn't have anyone like well, the few
people that I had lined up already had you know,
other jobs, they were in other bands and stuff like that,
and that I thought, you know, could fill in for
us for a while, And that was an idea. But
(21:03):
I started looking around on Facebook and I came across
like a Dayton musicians wanted kind of a thing, and
I was looking. There's someone posted like need a guitar player.
There's all these people that left comments, and I looked up.
I was looking through him and I seen Charlie on there.
I clicked on his page and I seen that he
(21:24):
was like he played. I think he had a video
of him doing Crazy Train or something like that. And
so I was like, I'm gonna write this guy and
see what he's got going on and so I wrote him,
didn't hear anything back. I noticed a friend of mine
was friends with him, so I wrote him. I was like, hey,
can you message this kid? I don't think he's getting
my message. Do you think you could, you know, put
(21:46):
him in contact with me? And he did and I said, Hey,
we've got a show coming up in a week and
I need a guitar player to learn all twenty songs
and you know, be able to perform it live on stage.
Is this something you could do? And he and he's like,
give me a give me a little bit and I'll
get back to you. So I guess he must have
like looked up all the songs and was trying to
(22:07):
see how hard it would be, and then like about
an hour later, he's like, yeah, I can do this,
and I'm like, okay, cool, not realizing the kid was
like eighteen or seventeen or eighteen or something in high school,
so he had to actually skip like one of his
last days of high school to come play his first
show with us, and he did a hell of a
(22:28):
job and he's still with us today.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
Ruining the youth's future one day at a time.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
No, he said, he pulled up he chiped in something
on chat? Was it Google? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (22:39):
So I went on the Google and out of curiosity,
I was like, oh, who are the new members of
that arena rock show? So I typed in is through
a Charlie and the band, and AI pops out of nowhere,
literally showing some of some of his info, and I'm like,
holy cow work.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
Didn you say like he said in there that he
was going to go to college but he ended up
joining the band? You guys, Yeah, which is true.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
It is true.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
We're ruining, ruining the youth, that's what we do.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
I actually sat there like, Okay, that kind of kind
of scary the fact that I knows that, But okay,
that is creepy. Then of course, you guys have a
new drummer. His name is Sean Rocan. Is that right?
Speaker 1 (23:17):
No, it's Sean Rockin. That's rocking, like dawkin.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
I wanted to say that Sean Sean. Every time I
hear Sean rock And I keep on thinking like, huh
does he get the whole rush?
Speaker 1 (23:28):
That's funny, you said, Rokan. I remember being in high
school and there was a doc and cd uh sitting
in my mom's car as I was taking We were
taking like a friend of mine home, and the kid
looked looked at me. He was like, who is doking'
that's what That's what mom said.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
My mom literally say Hey, We're going to see this
band called Doak, And I'm like, who's doking?
Speaker 3 (23:51):
So?
Speaker 1 (23:51):
How did you guys get a hold with Sean? So
Sean used to print our T shirts. And I knew
he was a drummer. I didn't know he was into
a uh well, I knew he liked rat, but I
didn't know that he was like a big eighties rock fan.
And I messaged him when I was like, hey, we've
had some shows coming up. We've got it kind of
covered for a minute, but we you know, long term,
we're going to be needing somebody. Is there any chance
(24:13):
you'd be interested in filling in you know, here and.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
There or what?
Speaker 1 (24:17):
And he was like, man, I'm I'm down to do
you know, the whole thing. So, you know, we we
had him come out and kind of check out the
show a few times, and you know, put him through
the uh you know, we we put him to work
learning all that stuff and and would rehearse with him
a few times, and finally he got it to where
it's it sounded really really good, and we're like, all right,
(24:38):
well let's just take this out and and and move
on and let's see how this goes. And uh yeah,
he's been killing it since so wow. Yeah. The great
thing about both of them is both are extremely talented,
but they're just both great people. And uh that's that's
been really nice to to have in this whole thing,
(24:58):
because you know, you travel with people, you know, what
is it two days, three days a week with our schedule,
and and you've got to get along with him or
it's just going to be miserable. And thankfully, you know,
everyone in this group is really easy to get along with.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
So I think this is the tightest you guys ever been.
I mean, I see some of the videos and you
guys seem really happy. And I noticed some of the
videos where you guys do some wrestling moods, and I
notice one where you got busted open.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
Good job, by the way, Yeah that's a blade job done?
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Did it to yourself up? Maybe you should get a
contract for a w or WWE.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Well, I was trying.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
Yeah, there's always like his promo video, were trying to
get him in there.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
There's actually a wrestler down in OVW.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
He looks like c C.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
The vill He plays the guitar and everything that like
that literally is his character. You do like the Jeff
Jared thing where he like beats people with a guitar.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
Way, Yes, well.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
He's a pretty cool guy. But I sat there, I
was like, oh, look at c C. The bill you wrestle.
Well that that was interesting. So so my last question
is this guy. So I was on Facebook, you know,
looking at you know, a bunch of things, and I
saw the eighties Facebook page and they were talking about,
you know, the who should play in the halftime show?
Speaker 1 (26:15):
And literally, I kid you not.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
I see a few comments mentioning you guys, would you
guys be down to actually play in the halftime show?
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Absolutely not, I can't afford us.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
It depends what's the thing, you know?
Speaker 3 (26:29):
Now, I mean it, it'd be fun.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
You know. I think most of the time.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
They will typically go with a national artist that's been
around for quite a while. So for tribute bands, it's
be kind of at this time in human history, it's
kind of unheard of. But hey, you know what, stranger
things have happened.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
That's true. So you know, we got notice, but tribute
bands are playing, you know, like River Bend and the
Brady Center, they are. There's there's like a Pink Floyd one,
there's a Taylor Swift one. So I really do think
that there's a big future for that because the bands
that we're covering some most of them are gone, most
(27:10):
of them don't exist, or if they do, they don't
sound like they used.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
To or.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
Or whatnot. But you know, so I don't know. It
kind of gives me hope when I see that kind
of stuff, like, you know, this could you know, it
could be a really long career with it if I
want to do.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
I just think it's impressive to how much your guys's
fan base has like really grown. Even in that page,
I was just like, whoa, these people know that are
in a rock show and they want them to be
at the halftime show.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
Yeah, yeah, it is Uh, it's cool. It's cool. That's
to see how this thing has grown. And you know,
there's people all over the country that come to see us.
And that's what's cool about this year is we're going
to be playing literally all over the country. If if
I'll be surprised if we don't touch, whether travel or
playing almost every state of the forty eight, you know, contiguous, contiguous,
(27:57):
what is it the states that are all together?
Speaker 2 (28:04):
Yeah, I know what you go for.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
I feel like we're gonna pretty much hit almost every
single one of them. Uh you know, drive through Maybe
not the north.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
Maybe not like yes, in the Northeast. Maybe not Washington,
like like state of Washington. Were getting close to getting
close to it.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
We'll be a gig. We're playing in Idaho. That's like, oh,
if it's right, ten miles or something from it, So
hopefully we'll get a Washington gig or something. We drive
there out of Spike, drive over the line, like all right,
we made it and we did it all right, packing
bags going home.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
Well, guys, it was great to have you on here.
It's always good to hear you guys, and I look
forward to seeing you guys the next show. When's your
next next show? You want to tell the audience, Well,
the next local one.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
Yeah, the next local one would.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
Be April fourth.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
Yes, it is the Covington one and at the Madison
Live is a Madison Live, Madison Theater. Okay, so the
Madison Theater April fourth, we'll be doing our album release party.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
So nice.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
Everyone who wants to get a copy of the CD
or at least get a you know, an order on
the vinyl and get first DIBs if you show up
and get there.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
All right, Well, thank you guys for coming in, and
thank you for not destroying the studio. By the way,
how we haven't left yet.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
Yeah, it's not over. We're until you hit the stop button.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
Oh dear h Well, ladies and gentlemen, thank you for
listening to rocking with Sea Bass. I may not come
back from this because you will. Things could be destroyed anyway.
Take care and keep rocking.
