It's raining a little bit more now, but that's all
right because it feels great and I'm here with tap Rude.
How are we feeling now?
Speaker 1 (00:24):
I'm feeling way better.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
I almost have passed out after we got off stage,
like and my blood sugar dropped. Had a Scott the
TM for Five Finger Death Lunch like he saw it
happening in real time and he was like you good,
and I was like seeing stars. He's like on our
twelve bus right now, got me a Mexican code, let
me chill out. So just huge love to the Five
Finger Death Lunch crew for looking out for us and
just being so awesome.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
I can't remember what it's called, but I have like
little tablets get chew home and it kind of helps
with that.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Oh okay, it's like electrolytes kind of thing.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
It's like, this is gonna pour people anyway as soon
as I figure.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Out I'm might save a life right now.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Yeah, it's like a little past I get that back.
It's a little tablet. You chew it up real quick.
It's like carbohydrates and it brings it right back to life.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Now, don't kidding. Yeah, I actually want that. I need
you to tell me that better. Please.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
I can't remember, and someone's gonna be like, yes, well sorry,
I don't remember. So what was it like planning incarceration
this year?
Speaker 1 (01:16):
It was.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
It was beautiful. It was cathartic. It was very full
circle for me.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
I had circle.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
I attended this this festival in twenty twenty one. I
had just gotten out of a really bad relationship. I
had just healed from an englin all hernia. I don't
know if you know what that is, but it's a
hernia and you're groin so I couldn't walk.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
For like two months, kind of thing. Like. I went
through some trials and tribulations, you.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
And I got a last minute invite to come to
this in twenty twenty one, and I ran into a
buddy of mine from back home from Louisiana up here
and he's like, dude, this is the happiest I think
I've ever seen you in your entire life, and it
was like, you know what I mean, like you get
over this this hump that's been holding you down, and
like I just I felt free. I felt happy. I
saw bands I had waited to see ten plus years.
(02:00):
And then you know, fast forward four years later, this
is my second time attending, but I got to play
main stage.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Like I mean, it's I got that same feeling today.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Man, it was just it was insanely beautiful and it's
just an honor to be here today.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Man, Now you guys did come back. Your last album
was what year was that? Twenty twenty three? In previous
to that, it was like ten plus years, wasn't it? Yes,
So what's that jump? Like, I mean, obviously you probably
have stuff going on to him. The other guys, I've
other things going on in their lives, but like, what
was the Hey, let's do an album.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
I mean, well, so the entire record is Steve's Okay,
that's all Steve Man, he's the mastermind. He did all
the recording, He programmed the drums and you know, he
did all the recording himself.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Man.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
So Stee just woke up. Was like, you know what, Yeah, So.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
What's crazy is he was going to release the record
under the Moniker Scissors and Phil got wind of vent
Phil I was like, no, motherfucker, like, this is a
tapper exact where we're going. If you're doing this, we're
going back out on the road. And I got a
call because I was doing I still am doing my
own thing. I'm the front man for writing with Killers,
and I'm in the middle of finishing my second record
(03:05):
over in Sweden. And you know, once, once they called me,
it was like, oh, get back in the saddle, Okay,
let's go.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
I mean you weren't just doing nothing, so that's good, right.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Oh no, dude.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
I My goal is to stay as busy as I
possibly can. I love being on the road. I love
making music, and that's that's.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
What I feel like.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
I was put on this qualk hoord, the Dewey Clalk story.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Oh my god, that's my favorite move.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
And so this is what those interviews about. Now. Now, yeah,
at least you weren't sitting around old and New crept.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
You ain't never paid for drugs, not long that.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Call from Dewey. You knock them out and you take
them back up and you're like, all right, let's do
tap Root again. No, So what's it like? You know,
you guys did new metal for like a long time
doing it. How's it feel like other bands are taking
that influence and keeping it today?
Speaker 2 (03:51):
It's it's beautiful because I mean I love new metal obviously,
and to see that it's having a bit of a
resurgence right now, because it feels like all of these
bands from the early two thousands that were on a
break or they're all coming back and coming back in
full force, like spine Shanks, Like who you know spine
Shank Vain, Yeah, oh my god, I was. I was
(04:12):
in tears side stage from mud Vane last summer just
is so beautiful and it's like, oh my god, the
boys are back, and you know, Chad like got in
ridiculous shape. He's like he's like bro Chad now like
ripped as fuck and they were phenomenald. It's just it's
so good to see everybody coming back healthy, happy and
and playing. I would argue almost better than they were before,
(04:35):
like more intensity, more everything, like great example. I don't
know if you're you've been hit with till Lindeman's like
solo stuff that one.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
Oh my god, change that change allright.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
So his record twenty twenty three is sunga I'm probably
saying that wrong. Sois Gemen. That was my pick for
metal Record of the Year. He just released a new
song and the Angels Sing or something. But it's yeah,
term like he's so good. He played louder in life. Yes, yeah,
well dude, he's sixty two. No, he was there last year.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Okay, because they got rained out. We were there, they
got rained down and Hurricane and Player got canceled.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
So but no, it's like, dude, the guy is sixty
two years old and his music is somehow more pissed
off and heavier now, And I'm like, how do you
do that?
Speaker 1 (05:22):
But you do?
Speaker 3 (05:23):
You just do all right. So the biggest difference of
how you're seeing shows from back in the day to
now what was so just some of them.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
I mean, like I used to obviously try to get
in the pit as much as I could or get
up front. Of these days, I'm kind of hanging out
in front of the house. But more often than not,
I'm attending camping edm festivals more than anything. Okay, why
for the fun, because I like to do Molly in
the forest and be a gremlin for five days.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
So how many of these you do a year? Or
is it just like whatever.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Run or two?
Speaker 2 (06:00):
You know what I mean, Like it's it's the perfect
reset for me because like cell phones don't really work
at some of these camping festivals and you're dancing in
a field with like forty thousand people, and it's like
you get back to a more primal state of humanity,
like because everyone does their own avatar thing, you know
what I mean, Like I'll wear these pants that I
(06:21):
can sense up, but like it's like I channel this
old school warrior thing. I wear war paint, i wear
passion meanas, I'll make a hood out of stuff. But
it's like you just get to be a character and
turn off the world for five days. And you know,
like I love making rock music in new metal, and
I love playing it live, but like I want, I've
(06:41):
found myself wanting to listen to other stuff because if
I just continue to listen to rock, that's all I'm.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Gonna try to recreate. But like EDM makes my mind
go of a different direction. I think.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
I think Chad from Leudvane said in like some video
or somewhere some interview about how he does not listen
to metal at all when it comes to writing new
music because he doesn't want it to sound like that.
It wants it to be his.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
It happens subliminally, that's the thing, Like like, oh no,
I'm not, I'm not drawing influence from this riff, but
subconsciously you are, and you're like, oh my god, trash,
you know, And that's that's why. Like and of course, man,
like I try to keep up if someone, you know,
one of our friends has a new single or like
like great example Kitty with their new record Fire.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Yeah, Like as soon.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
As that came out, I was like, yep, masterpiece front
to back, and like like I always try to make
sure we check out our friends and and you know,
if there's up and comers. But like, for what's on
my radio, nine times out of ten, I try to
go to DM or go to jazz, or go to
pop or lo fi or or house music or what
especially living in Detroit, man, I'm in techno city, mo Motown.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Like so you said jazz, Like Richard Cheese, I just
got into him this weekend.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Well, since we're talking about this, now, do you like
Wesley Willis.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
I don't know who that is. I'll look it up
al capone.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Oh what you know, Wesley Willis? Yeah, all right, i'd
seen you Richard.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Cheese and he gets to show you, Wesley Willis, Oh,
this is gonna be trade.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Off recognizing it. This is interviews. Did you guys cover that? No?
Speaker 1 (08:17):
But we should?
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Should?
Speaker 1 (08:19):
We should? That would be fucking perfect.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
And then you can put Walk Hard on the background.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Car dude, So that movie. I saw that movie.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
I laughed my ass off, and then I saw Walk
the Line. And as I'm watching Walk the Line like that,
after I'm like, wait, wait no, and I watched Walk
Hard again and it got a thousand times funnier.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Yes, now you have to watch Walkhard the like super
extended cut where it's like they play every song in fool.
You know.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
I have that Oh going good? Come on, it's like
my favorite movie. The Room, The Room. Have you seen that? No,
this interview is over. That's a second time so the Room?
Oh hi, Mark, you know what that is?
Speaker 1 (09:02):
All right? I know what you're talking about.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Is the best worst movie we've probably seen a hundred times.
You're gonna go see a new Superman movie? Yes, it's
really good.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
I feel like James Gunn knows what he's doing.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
And I'm not gonna lie. When they brought back that
Christopher Reese memes, I'm getting goosebs kind of thinking about
it right now.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
I'm a big fan Henry cavill. Oh, I mean, why
wouldn't you be? He's gorgeous and I'm a little upset.
You know, you got get kicked, But this guy. I mean,
if I didn't have jobs, if I didn't have my
glasses on, I would swear it's him.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Also, isn't it funny that Superman's like I'm Superman now
I'm Clark Kenn.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
It's like, bitch, we know who the fuck you are.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
It's been the joke since the one nineteen twenties, Yeah,
eighteen tens nokod so used tod ink. What's coming up
next for tap Route.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
We've got a headliner at the Machine Shop. We have
a show in Columbus afterwards. It's not an ounce, so
I probably shouldn't go say that. It's just something. It's something,
and then I hope we're working on a twenty fifth
anniversary of Gift Show. Steve and I have been talking
about that a lot recording and was re recorded.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Just like that.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
But we really want to do a twenty fifth anniversary show,
play the record from front to back, So we're trying
to figure out where to facilitate that. Like this year's
kind of a slow year for us. I don't know
if you'd heard earlier. This year Steve got in a
really bad car wreck. He had a seizure while he
was driving, Like he was out getting pizza for the family,
had a seizure while he was driving, crashed into a
telephone pole, and like he like this this weekend is
(10:30):
our first couple of shows of this year. Like it's
been slow getting back to it. You know, he had
to heal man, you know what I mean. And like
I was down in New Orleans recording guitars for my band,
riding with killers, and I get a call from our
manager Tom and he's like, yeah, man, Steve just kind
of wreck. I don't want you to hear about this online,
but he might not make it through the night. And
like I just start falling in the studio and my
(10:52):
producer Jacob's like, dude, we can be done for the day.
Like for twelve hours, I was like, like nobody could
comfort me.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
I myself to sleep. I woke myself up.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Crying, thinking like I'm about to lose one of my
best friends, one of the one my bandmate, like like
again one of my best friends. And then thank god
he was okay. But you know, it was just a
little bit of a road to recovery. So we're we're
just kind of getting everything going back in and I'm
sure we'll try to find some stuff for the end
of the year because we're we all felt it after
(11:22):
this weekend. Man, after these three festivals we just did
in a row, like everyone's like, all right, you guys
like you ready, like let's figure this out.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Yeah, all right, So you're no trainers to the studio.
Can fans expect maybe even more new TAMPERI?
Speaker 1 (11:37):
I really hope so soon.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
I know, technically Scissors is almost two years old, but
it released in like what December twenty twenty three, so
it's still fairly new.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
But I mean, I've been gathering riffs.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
I don't know if anyone wants to use them or not,
but I always send little little recordings back and forth,
so I'm hoping we do something.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
But we'll see, all right, any final words you want
to say.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
To fans of tap Root, be kind to one another,
treat each other with love and respect, and we love
you guys.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
We appreciate you more than you know.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
We don't exist without you, so thank you so much
from the bottom of our hearts.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
We can't do this without you.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
Tap Roots back, get ready for more tap Root. Thanks
for checking this out. We'll see you
What's going on? Guys? This is Taylor from Tap Root.
I play guitar in the band.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Be sure to check out our new record Scissors out
now everywhere. And you are listening to the Kevin Do
Some of Powell podcast.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
What's up? It's Kevin from the Kevin Pell Podcast. Day three.
It's raining a little bit more now, but that's all
right because it feels great and I'm here with tap Rude.
How are we feeling now?
Speaker 1 (00:24):
I'm feeling way better.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
I almost have passed out after we got off stage,
like and my blood sugar dropped. Had a Scott the
TM for Five Finger Death Lunch like he saw it
happening in real time and he was like you good,
and I was like seeing stars. He's like on our
twelve bus right now, got me a Mexican code, let
me chill out. So just huge love to the Five
Finger Death Lunch crew for looking out for us and
just being so awesome.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
I can't remember what it's called, but I have like
little tablets get chew home and it kind of helps
with that.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Oh okay, it's like electrolytes kind of thing.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
It's like, this is gonna pour people anyway as soon
as I figure.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Out I'm might save a life right now.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Yeah, it's like a little past I get that back.
It's a little tablet. You chew it up real quick.
It's like carbohydrates and it brings it right back to life.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Now, don't kidding. Yeah, I actually want that. I need
you to tell me that better. Please.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
I can't remember, and someone's gonna be like, yes, well sorry,
I don't remember. So what was it like planning incarceration
this year?
Speaker 1 (01:16):
It was.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
It was beautiful. It was cathartic. It was very full
circle for me.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
I had circle.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
I attended this this festival in twenty twenty one. I
had just gotten out of a really bad relationship. I
had just healed from an englin all hernia. I don't
know if you know what that is, but it's a
hernia and you're groin so I couldn't walk.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
For like two months, kind of thing. Like. I went
through some trials and tribulations, you.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
And I got a last minute invite to come to
this in twenty twenty one, and I ran into a
buddy of mine from back home from Louisiana up here
and he's like, dude, this is the happiest I think
I've ever seen you in your entire life, and it
was like, you know what I mean, like you get
over this this hump that's been holding you down, and
like I just I felt free. I felt happy. I
saw bands I had waited to see ten plus years.
(02:00):
And then you know, fast forward four years later, this
is my second time attending, but I got to play
main stage.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Like I mean, it's I got that same feeling today.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Man, it was just it was insanely beautiful and it's
just an honor to be here today.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Man, Now you guys did come back. Your last album
was what year was that? Twenty twenty three? In previous
to that, it was like ten plus years, wasn't it? Yes,
So what's that jump? Like, I mean, obviously you probably
have stuff going on to him. The other guys, I've
other things going on in their lives, but like, what
was the Hey, let's do an album.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
I mean, well, so the entire record is Steve's Okay,
that's all Steve Man, he's the mastermind. He did all
the recording, He programmed the drums and you know, he
did all the recording himself.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Man.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
So Stee just woke up. Was like, you know what, Yeah, So.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
What's crazy is he was going to release the record
under the Moniker Scissors and Phil got wind of vent
Phil I was like, no, motherfucker, like, this is a
tapper exact where we're going. If you're doing this, we're
going back out on the road. And I got a
call because I was doing I still am doing my
own thing. I'm the front man for writing with Killers,
and I'm in the middle of finishing my second record
(03:05):
over in Sweden. And you know, once, once they called me,
it was like, oh, get back in the saddle, Okay,
let's go.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
I mean you weren't just doing nothing, so that's good, right.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Oh no, dude.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
I My goal is to stay as busy as I
possibly can. I love being on the road. I love
making music, and that's that's.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
What I feel like.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
I was put on this qualk hoord, the Dewey Clalk story.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Oh my god, that's my favorite move.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
And so this is what those interviews about. Now. Now, yeah,
at least you weren't sitting around old and New crept.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
You ain't never paid for drugs, not long that.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Call from Dewey. You knock them out and you take
them back up and you're like, all right, let's do
tap Root again. No, So what's it like? You know,
you guys did new metal for like a long time
doing it. How's it feel like other bands are taking
that influence and keeping it today?
Speaker 2 (03:51):
It's it's beautiful because I mean I love new metal obviously,
and to see that it's having a bit of a
resurgence right now, because it feels like all of these
bands from the early two thousands that were on a
break or they're all coming back and coming back in
full force, like spine Shanks, Like who you know spine
Shank Vain, Yeah, oh my god, I was. I was
(04:12):
in tears side stage from mud Vane last summer just
is so beautiful and it's like, oh my god, the
boys are back, and you know, Chad like got in
ridiculous shape. He's like he's like bro Chad now like
ripped as fuck and they were phenomenald. It's just it's
so good to see everybody coming back healthy, happy and
and playing. I would argue almost better than they were before,
(04:35):
like more intensity, more everything, like great example. I don't
know if you're you've been hit with till Lindeman's like
solo stuff that one.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
Oh my god, change that change allright.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
So his record twenty twenty three is sunga I'm probably
saying that wrong. Sois Gemen. That was my pick for
metal Record of the Year. He just released a new
song and the Angels Sing or something. But it's yeah,
term like he's so good. He played louder in life. Yes, yeah,
well dude, he's sixty two. No, he was there last year.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Okay, because they got rained out. We were there, they
got rained down and Hurricane and Player got canceled.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
So but no, it's like, dude, the guy is sixty
two years old and his music is somehow more pissed
off and heavier now, And I'm like, how do you
do that?
Speaker 1 (05:22):
But you do?
Speaker 3 (05:23):
You just do all right. So the biggest difference of
how you're seeing shows from back in the day to
now what was so just some of them.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
I mean, like I used to obviously try to get

I'm attending camping edm festivals more than anything. Okay, why
for the fun, because I like to do Molly in
the forest and be a gremlin for five days.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
So how many of these you do a year? Or
is it just like whatever.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Run or two?
Speaker 2 (06:00):
You know what I mean, Like it's it's the perfect
reset for me because like cell phones don't really work
at some of these camping festivals and you're dancing in
a field with like forty thousand people, and it's like
you get back to a more primal state of humanity,
like because everyone does their own avatar thing, you know
what I mean, Like I'll wear these pants that I
(06:21):
can sense up, but like it's like I channel this
old school warrior thing. I wear war paint, i wear
passion meanas, I'll make a hood out of stuff. But
it's like you just get to be a character and
turn off the world for five days. And you know,
like I love making rock music in new metal, and
I love playing it live, but like I want, I've
(06:41):
found myself wanting to listen to other stuff because if
I just continue to listen to rock, that's all I'm.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Gonna try to recreate. But like EDM makes my mind
go of a different direction. I think.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
I think Chad from Leudvane said in like some video
or somewhere some interview about how he does not listen
to metal at all when it comes to writing new
music because he doesn't want it to sound like that.
It wants it to be his.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
It happens subliminally, that's the thing, Like like, oh no,
I'm not, I'm not drawing influence from this riff, but
subconsciously you are, and you're like, oh my god, trash,
you know, And that's that's why. Like and of course, man,
like I try to keep up if someone, you know,
one of our friends has a new single or like
like great example Kitty with their new record Fire.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Yeah, Like as soon.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
As that came out, I was like, yep, masterpiece front
to back, and like like I always try to make
sure we check out our friends and and you know,
if there's up and comers. But like, for what's on
my radio, nine times out of ten, I try to
go to DM or go to jazz, or go to
pop or lo fi or or house music or what
especially living in Detroit, man, I'm in techno city, mo Motown.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Like so you said jazz, Like Richard Cheese, I just
got into him this weekend.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Well, since we're talking about this, now, do you like
Wesley Willis.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
I don't know who that is. I'll look it up
al capone.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Oh what you know, Wesley Willis? Yeah, all right, i'd
seen you Richard.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Cheese and he gets to show you, Wesley Willis, Oh,
this is gonna be trade.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Off recognizing it. This is interviews. Did you guys cover that? No?
Speaker 1 (08:17):
But we should?
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Should?
Speaker 1 (08:19):
We should? That would be fucking perfect.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
And then you can put Walk Hard on the background.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Car dude, So that movie. I saw that movie.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
I laughed my ass off, and then I saw Walk
the Line. And as I'm watching Walk the Line like that,
after I'm like, wait, wait no, and I watched Walk
Hard again and it got a thousand times funnier.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Yes, now you have to watch Walkhard the like super
extended cut where it's like they play every song in fool.
You know.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
I have that Oh going good? Come on, it's like
my favorite movie. The Room, The Room. Have you seen that? No,
this interview is over. That's a second time so the Room?
Oh hi, Mark, you know what that is?
Speaker 1 (09:02):
All right? I know what you're talking about.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Is the best worst movie we've probably seen a hundred times.
You're gonna go see a new Superman movie? Yes, it's
really good.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
I feel like James Gunn knows what he's doing.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
And I'm not gonna lie. When they brought back that
Christopher Reese memes, I'm getting goosebs kind of thinking about
it right now.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
I'm a big fan Henry cavill. Oh, I mean, why
wouldn't you be? He's gorgeous and I'm a little upset.
You know, you got get kicked, But this guy. I mean,
if I didn't have jobs, if I didn't have my
glasses on, I would swear it's him.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Also, isn't it funny that Superman's like I'm Superman now
I'm Clark Kenn.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
It's like, bitch, we know who the fuck you are.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
It's been the joke since the one nineteen twenties, Yeah,
eighteen tens nokod so used tod ink. What's coming up
next for tap Route.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
We've got a headliner at the Machine Shop. We have
a show in Columbus afterwards. It's not an ounce, so
I probably shouldn't go say that. It's just something. It's something,
and then I hope we're working on a twenty fifth
anniversary of Gift Show. Steve and I have been talking
about that a lot recording and was re recorded.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Just like that.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
But we really want to do a twenty fifth anniversary show,
play the record from front to back, So we're trying
to figure out where to facilitate that. Like this year's
kind of a slow year for us. I don't know
if you'd heard earlier. This year Steve got in a
really bad car wreck. He had a seizure while he
was driving, Like he was out getting pizza for the family,
had a seizure while he was driving, crashed into a
telephone pole, and like he like this this weekend is
(10:30):
our first couple of shows of this year. Like it's
been slow getting back to it. You know, he had
to heal man, you know what I mean. And like
I was down in New Orleans recording guitars for my band,
riding with killers, and I get a call from our
manager Tom and he's like, yeah, man, Steve just kind
of wreck. I don't want you to hear about this online,
but he might not make it through the night. And
like I just start falling in the studio and my
(10:52):
producer Jacob's like, dude, we can be done for the day.
Like for twelve hours, I was like, like nobody could
comfort me.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
I myself to sleep. I woke myself up.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Crying, thinking like I'm about to lose one of my
best friends, one of the one my bandmate, like like
again one of my best friends. And then thank god
he was okay. But you know, it was just a
little bit of a road to recovery. So we're we're
just kind of getting everything going back in and I'm
sure we'll try to find some stuff for the end
of the year because we're we all felt it after
(11:22):
this weekend. Man, after these three festivals we just did
in a row, like everyone's like, all right, you guys
like you ready, like let's figure this out.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Yeah, all right, So you're no trainers to the studio.
Can fans expect maybe even more new TAMPERI?
Speaker 1 (11:37):
I really hope so soon.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
I know, technically Scissors is almost two years old, but
it released in like what December twenty twenty three, so
it's still fairly new.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
But I mean, I've been gathering riffs.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
I don't know if anyone wants to use them or not,
but I always send little little recordings back and forth,
so I'm hoping we do something.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
But we'll see, all right, any final words you want
to say.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
To fans of tap Root, be kind to one another,
treat each other with love and respect, and we love
you guys.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
We appreciate you more than you know.

from the bottom of our hearts.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
We can't do this without you.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
