Speaker 1 (00:04):
Hy you have learnt.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Yes, that's true. Fee Wow, crazy young.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
This is the pipe Man here on the Adventures pipe
Man W four c Y Radio. And now I'm here
with Julian Jake from Harriet Nice here at Bloodstock. Heh you,
Oh my god? How the hell did you get the Bloodstock?
Speaker 4 (00:31):
This is our third time a Bloodstock. Yeah. We did
a few years ago.
Speaker 5 (00:35):
Twenty sixteen we won Metal to the Masses and we
played on the New Blood stage, and then we played
a couple of years ago on the Sophie stage, and
then we today we played the main stage.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Wow. Yeah, it's been a that's.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
A wild ride, right.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Yes, the Bee always wants to be in the interviews,
but only with the good bands.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
Hell yeah, so I'll tell you that as a compliment.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Yeah, the Bee wants to say something about how great
you're So. What was it like playing on the main
stage after your whole journey of the Bloodstock.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
It was a lot bigger than I remembered.
Speaker 5 (01:13):
Yeah, I was looking forward to it and it was
very dawning when we turned up and started setting up.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
It looks a lot bigger from the back, I.
Speaker 6 (01:20):
Mean, last time we were here we saw Lama God
headline the main stage, so they probably had a lot
more production, so the stage looked a lot smaller from
the side right.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
We felt like a small fish in a big.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Pond, you know what.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Don't feel bad though, because I was just doing another
festival where sleep Dooaken headline and they felt the stage
was too I heard they felt the stage was like
big for them, and same went at Hellfest High Long.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Yeah, they played the main stage and they actually didn't
like it because it was too big for them.
Speaker 5 (01:53):
We get that sometimes we end up playing some like
bigger fests, like stages, and it's a bit too. You
feel really far they're so used to Like I like
being up in front.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
Right, it's difficult.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
I think experience, isn't it.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
It's like it's cool seeing like the sea of people.
Speaker 6 (02:10):
Obviously as far as I can see, that's great, but
you lose the connection with people. I always like to
like lock eyes with people, and they're too far away.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
It's hard to lock in when you're on the biggest stages. See,
I love I love that you're saying that too, that
you like to lock eyes. Yeah, because I find most
artists they don't lock eyes. They like they look at
the crowd, but they don't want to focus on.
Speaker 6 (02:31):
I find it really hard to like get into the
zone if I can't pick a few people that are vibing.
If there's someone who's on the front road who's vibeing it,
I'll just watch them. It'll be my target for the
whole show, and then I'll be in the zone.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
That's brilliant.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (02:43):
Actually, it's harder to do on bigger stages because you're
kind of like you can't really see.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Right, So with that person, you're like feeding off of them,
which puts you in the zone.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (02:52):
Honestly, like if I don't have that, I really struggle
and I usually have a bad show if I don't
have that. Yeah, I managed to do it today because
there's a lot of people that were there viban good stuff.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
What was that like going from winning metal to the
masses to looking at a sea of people A lot.
Speaker 5 (03:08):
Of years in between that and now right, it feels rewarding.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
We've been working hard, it feels good. It feels good.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Well.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
One of the words that it's using interview earlier for
doing what you do, it's perseverance.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Oh yeah, and.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
You're an example of that because what if you felt
we're not gonna go anywhere you listen to people it said,
you're not gonna go anywhere you might want to try
something different, you wouldn't be here.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Today's biggest part of me. You just got a stick.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
At it and don't listeny anybody.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Yeah, just do your thing and keep doing it, and
then eventually it pays off.
Speaker 6 (03:43):
I remember that for the first time we were here,
I just tried to enjoy it as much as I
could in case we never got to do it again.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
And that would be here ever again.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
I love that, and we're here.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
We do that every time. Every time we play. We
never know when we'll I.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Mean so for my listeners who have never heard you before.
How you, as the artists describe your music, and I
don't mean as a genre or some stupid label, just
in general, how you feel about your music.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
I'd say, like heavy in different ways.
Speaker 5 (04:12):
So we do the classic heavy, but we do like industrial.
We've got like more amispheric. We create a mood we
try and have it throughout.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
I love that more.
Speaker 6 (04:22):
Yeah, it's miserable but atmospheric, like bleak bleak.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
But sometimes it's nice.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
What's funny about the word miserable. Is that one of
the bands that played the other day, they're there, He goes.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
I want everybody to be miserable and it.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
You know, it's funny we're saying that, but it's not
really miserable as everybody thinks of miserable.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
We won't people to have a good time, but it
is miserable music.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Music, but we want people to have a good time.
It's good therapy.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Yeah, that's what listen.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
That's what music is, especially metal, industrial or anything like that.
It's therapy because we are miserable and we use that
therapy to not be miserable.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
That's it. That's it.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
It's an outlet, no doubt, no doubt for us to
make it, and an outlet to play it and see
people enjoying it and getting letting their steam off, going crazy.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Right.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Yeah, So what was that one moment in your life
that you decide this is what you needed to do.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
I already done anything else. I love it, probably crap
everything else.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
Yeah, it's the only thing I've ever been good at. Unfortunately.
I mean I heard I'm not that good here.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
I just like doing it.
Speaker 6 (05:40):
I heard heavy music when I was really young, and
I think from that point, like it was a turning point.
I was like nine years old, and I think I
couldn't play drums at the time, but I knew that
music was I had an attachment to music that I
didn't have to like football or whatever else you do
when you're a kid, Right, So I think from that
point music music is pretty good first and last hobby.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
That's what makes you be here at bloodstuff because I'm
a firm believer and if you have something to fall
back on, you will Pushing forward means having nothing.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
To fall back on. Oh, eggs in one basket.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
Who's it?
Speaker 3 (06:18):
But who's the first band that you saw that you
were like, Oh my god, See that's a hard one.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
Well you mean so live or just live?
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Yeah, that's such a hard question.
Speaker 6 (06:32):
First man I saw live was Panic at the Disco,
which was wasn't really the right vibe. First heavy band
I saw live was probably probably Slipknot.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
Yeah, like they just bring it.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
That's a live show. I don't even care if you
like the music. That's a show to go to.
Speaker 6 (06:48):
These nine dudes and boy, the suit's going crazy, so
no doubt a lot to look at.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
The first time I saw them was nineteen ninety nine
Odds Fest on third stage. Now, if you can imagine
third stage was like if you put two of these
table together this way.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
I'm like, how the fuck do you get nine people
on there?
Speaker 4 (07:06):
I'm InCred credibly envious of that.
Speaker 6 (07:07):
I would have I'd give anything to witness slip show, like.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Well, guess what you know who else was on third
stage that year.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
In this moment and mud Veins oh sick right, like
n see took credit to the great Oz who's no
longer with us. But if it weren't for us doing
stuff like that, you wouldn't have these bands.
Speaker 6 (07:32):
How many of my favorite bands wouldn't exist if it was.
Speaker 5 (07:34):
My answer to the question if it's not a live band,
Like I remember hearing Sabbath in the car with my
dad when I was like five, and I was just like,
this evil.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Is nice, nice, this evil music.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Do you remember what song really got to you?
Speaker 5 (07:47):
It would have been flex Sabbath but yeah, literally put
it in yeah self titled in the car what the
hell is going on?
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Like it was, And to me that's like the original
Doom medal. It like it's not much right And for
me a similar scenario like I got into music and stuff.
But I remember being in seventh grade meeting this dude
that was like my next door neighbor.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
We became best friends, and he had this.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Black album that had red writing and white lightning Bolt S's.
We sold our souls for rock and roll, and I
sold my soul from that day on and here I am.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
I have blood stock.
Speaker 6 (08:29):
I think everyone has that kind of experience where you
hear your first metal record, or you have like a
friend of a friend who gives you a CD or
something like. It's always the gateway into heavy stuff.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Well, and you know that did lead me into Slayer,
Metallic and all that.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
That led me to my eighties battle vest.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
Oh yeah, sick.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
It's seen a few wars in the pit. So now
what you do next after bloodstuff? What you got going
on that people can check out.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
We're going on tour with Trivium the US.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Yeah, where in the US are you gonna be playing?
Speaker 1 (09:08):
At?
Speaker 4 (09:09):
Six weeks? So everywhere I'm gonna have.
Speaker 5 (09:12):
To Well, I think we're doing like Canada and then
that isn't it.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
We need you at We need you at US festivals.
I do all the US festivals. Yeah, we need you there.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
This is our first time over, so I hope you
will make a good impression.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Maybe we can come back.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
Well, I'll give you a clue of something to do.
So there's this band Silly Goose. Okay, I don't know
if you've heard of them, but they're a punk band.
They're really good, but they're old school. They're young, but
they're old school.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
They showed up.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
At a Danny Wimmer festival, because Danny Wimmer does all
the big metal festivals over there. Festival I just did,
which is at Shawshank Prison and which that's fucking badass.
They showed up in the parking lot and start laying
in the parking lot and Danny Wimmer was sitting out
(10:04):
there with hands cross watching them. The next day they
were on the stage, and now they play all the
Danny Wimmer festivals.
Speaker 6 (10:11):
Yeah, I think we're hoping this tour is going to
open more doors for us in the States.
Speaker 5 (10:15):
We wanted to go over for a while and this
time it worked out, so we're just it's a beautiful thing.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
It's so funny too, like the perspective because bands I
know over there, their dream is to play over here
in Europe.
Speaker 5 (10:30):
With so many bands that have come over from the States, right,
They're like, Oh, you guys would kill.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
It in the US. You should do that. We want to.
It's always the way that works, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
I'm curious to see how you feel after you play.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
There are a lot it is.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
There are like cool places to play there and I
think you will get a name and get where you
want to go because you.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Guys are badass.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
How was your experience this year from ud Stuck compared
to other years? Not like we were talking about the
stages before, but the vibe and everything else.
Speaker 5 (11:07):
To see so many people out, like you could feel
that there was people to hear to see us, which
is nice. A lot of new faces as well, which
is obviously what it's all about. But you can see
that there was people dressed up with like in night
costumes and I mean, like nice am to see us,
which is really cool. Like that that never happened, So
we're really super grateful for that made this send for me,
(11:28):
Just seeing people like kind of yeah, making their own
costumes to watch our set and stuff like that takes
time and effort, Like that's cool, it's cool and it's
hard out there, Like dudes, dressing like a full tinfoil.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Right, I don't I see people like how are you
doing that?
Speaker 2 (11:46):
It's like are you fucking hot?
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Ast fuck?
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Even like bands I'm friends with them, Like, don't you
when it's like ninety fahrenheit degrees just not wear that shit?
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Because how do you perform like that?
Speaker 4 (12:00):
It was unexpected?
Speaker 6 (12:01):
It was very cool to see it, right, I mean
just looking out and seeing T shirts and stuff like
you kind of scope out of crowd if they know
who you are and you see a few of your
own shirt should I that's cool?
Speaker 2 (12:09):
I mean and them singing?
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Yeah, Like how wild is that?
Speaker 2 (12:13):
When you see them knowing the words to your song?
Speaker 4 (12:17):

are singing like because I was like sick, thank you,

This is our third time a Bloodstock. Yeah. We did
a few years ago.
Speaker 5 (00:35):
Twenty sixteen we won Metal to the Masses and we
played on the New Blood stage, and then we played
a couple of years ago on the Sophie stage, and
then we today we played the main stage.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Wow. Yeah, it's been a that's.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
A wild ride, right.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Yes, the Bee always wants to be in the interviews,

Speaker 4 (00:54):
Hell yeah, so I'll tell you that as a compliment.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Yeah, the Bee wants to say something about how great
you're So. What was it like playing on the main
stage after your whole journey of the Bloodstock.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
It was a lot bigger than I remembered.
Speaker 5 (01:13):
Yeah, I was looking forward to it and it was
very dawning when we turned up and started setting up.

Speaker 1 (01:28):
We felt like a small fish in a big.

Don't feel bad though, because I was just doing another

was too I heard they felt the stage was like
big for them, and same went at Hellfest High Long.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Yeah, they played the main stage and they actually didn't
like it because it was too big for them.
Speaker 5 (01:53):
We get that sometimes we end up playing some like
bigger fests, like stages, and it's a bit too. You
feel really far they're so used to Like I like
being up in front.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
Right, it's difficult.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
I think experience, isn't it.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
It's like it's cool seeing like the sea of people.
Speaker 6 (02:10):
Obviously as far as I can see, that's great, but
you lose the connection with people. I always like to

Speaker 3 (02:16):
It's hard to lock in when you're on the biggest stages. See,
I love I love that you're saying that too, that
you like to lock eyes. Yeah, because I find most
artists they don't lock eyes. They like they look at

That's brilliant.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (02:43):
Actually, it's harder to do on bigger stages because you're
kind of like you can't really see.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Right, So with that person, you're like feeding off of them,
which puts you in the zone.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (02:52):
Honestly, like if I don't have that, I really struggle
and I usually have a bad show if I don't
have that. Yeah, I managed to do it today because
there's a lot of people that were there viban good stuff.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
What was that like going from winning metal to the
masses to looking at a sea of people A lot.
Speaker 5 (03:08):
Of years in between that and now right, it feels rewarding.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
We've been working hard, it feels good. It feels good.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Well.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
One of the words that it's using interview earlier for
doing what you do, it's perseverance.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Oh yeah, and.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
You're an example of that because what if you felt
we're not gonna go anywhere you listen to people it said,
you're not gonna go anywhere you might want to try
something different, you wouldn't be here.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Today's biggest part of me. You just got a stick.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
At it and don't listeny anybody.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Yeah, just do your thing and keep doing it, and
then eventually it pays off.
Speaker 6 (03:43):
I remember that for the first time we were here,
I just tried to enjoy it as much as I
could in case we never got to do it again.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
And that would be here ever again.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
I love that, and we're here.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
We do that every time. Every time we play. We
never know when we'll I.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Mean so for my listeners who have never heard you before.
How you, as the artists describe your music, and I
don't mean as a genre or some stupid label, just
in general, how you feel about your music.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
I'd say, like heavy in different ways.
Speaker 5 (04:12):
So we do the classic heavy, but we do like industrial.
We've got like more amispheric. We create a mood we
try and have it throughout.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
I love that more.
Speaker 6 (04:22):
Yeah, it's miserable but atmospheric, like bleak bleak.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
But sometimes it's nice.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
What's funny about the word miserable. Is that one of
the bands that played the other day, they're there, He goes.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
I want everybody to be miserable and it.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
You know, it's funny we're saying that, but it's not
really miserable as everybody thinks of miserable.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
We won't people to have a good time, but it
is miserable music.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Music, but we want people to have a good time.
It's good therapy.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Yeah, that's what listen.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
That's what music is, especially metal, industrial or anything like that.
It's therapy because we are miserable and we use that
therapy to not be miserable.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
That's it. That's it.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
It's an outlet, no doubt, no doubt for us to
make it, and an outlet to play it and see
people enjoying it and getting letting their steam off, going crazy.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Right.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Yeah, So what was that one moment in your life
that you decide this is what you needed to do.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
I already done anything else. I love it, probably crap
everything else.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
Yeah, it's the only thing I've ever been good at. Unfortunately.
I mean I heard I'm not that good here.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
I just like doing it.
Speaker 6 (05:40):
I heard heavy music when I was really young, and
I think from that point, like it was a turning point.
I was like nine years old, and I think I
couldn't play drums at the time, but I knew that
music was I had an attachment to music that I
didn't have to like football or whatever else you do
when you're a kid, Right, So I think from that
point music music is pretty good first and last hobby.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
That's what makes you be here at bloodstuff because I'm
a firm believer and if you have something to fall
back on, you will Pushing forward means having nothing.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
To fall back on. Oh, eggs in one basket.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
Who's it?
Speaker 3 (06:18):
But who's the first band that you saw that you
were like, Oh my god, See that's a hard one.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
Well you mean so live or just live?
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Yeah, that's such a hard question.
Speaker 6 (06:32):
First man I saw live was Panic at the Disco,
which was wasn't really the right vibe. First heavy band
I saw live was probably probably Slipknot.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
Yeah, like they just bring it.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
That's a live show. I don't even care if you
like the music. That's a show to go to.
Speaker 6 (06:48):
These nine dudes and boy, the suit's going crazy, so
no doubt a lot to look at.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
The first time I saw them was nineteen ninety nine
Odds Fest on third stage. Now, if you can imagine
third stage was like if you put two of these
table together this way.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
I'm like, how the fuck do you get nine people
on there?
Speaker 4 (07:06):
I'm InCred credibly envious of that.
Speaker 6 (07:07):
I would have I'd give anything to witness slip show, like.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Well, guess what you know who else was on third
stage that year.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
In this moment and mud Veins oh sick right, like
n see took credit to the great Oz who's no
longer with us. But if it weren't for us doing
stuff like that, you wouldn't have these bands.
Speaker 6 (07:32):
How many of my favorite bands wouldn't exist if it was.
Speaker 5 (07:34):
My answer to the question if it's not a live band,
Like I remember hearing Sabbath in the car with my
dad when I was like five, and I was just like,
this evil.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Is nice, nice, this evil music.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Do you remember what song really got to you?
Speaker 5 (07:47):
It would have been flex Sabbath but yeah, literally put
it in yeah self titled in the car what the
hell is going on?
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Like it was, And to me that's like the original
Doom medal. It like it's not much right And for
me a similar scenario like I got into music and stuff.
But I remember being in seventh grade meeting this dude
that was like my next door neighbor.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
We became best friends, and he had this.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Black album that had red writing and white lightning Bolt S's.
We sold our souls for rock and roll, and I
sold my soul from that day on and here I am.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
I have blood stock.
Speaker 6 (08:29):
I think everyone has that kind of experience where you
hear your first metal record, or you have like a
friend of a friend who gives you a CD or
something like. It's always the gateway into heavy stuff.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Well, and you know that did lead me into Slayer,
Metallic and all that.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
That led me to my eighties battle vest.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
Oh yeah, sick.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
It's seen a few wars in the pit. So now
what you do next after bloodstuff? What you got going
on that people can check out.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
We're going on tour with Trivium the US.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Yeah, where in the US are you gonna be playing?
Speaker 1 (09:08):
At?
Speaker 4 (09:09):
Six weeks? So everywhere I'm gonna have.
Speaker 5 (09:12):
To Well, I think we're doing like Canada and then
that isn't it.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
We need you at We need you at US festivals.
I do all the US festivals. Yeah, we need you there.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
This is our first time over, so I hope you
will make a good impression.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Maybe we can come back.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
Well, I'll give you a clue of something to do.
So there's this band Silly Goose. Okay, I don't know
if you've heard of them, but they're a punk band.
They're really good, but they're old school. They're young, but
they're old school.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
They showed up.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
At a Danny Wimmer festival, because Danny Wimmer does all
the big metal festivals over there. Festival I just did,
which is at Shawshank Prison and which that's fucking badass.
They showed up in the parking lot and start laying
in the parking lot and Danny Wimmer was sitting out
(10:04):
there with hands cross watching them. The next day they
were on the stage, and now they play all the
Danny Wimmer festivals.
Speaker 6 (10:11):
Yeah, I think we're hoping this tour is going to
open more doors for us in the States.
Speaker 5 (10:15):
We wanted to go over for a while and this
time it worked out, so we're just it's a beautiful thing.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
It's so funny too, like the perspective because bands I
know over there, their dream is to play over here
in Europe.
Speaker 5 (10:30):
With so many bands that have come over from the States, right,
They're like, Oh, you guys would kill.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
It in the US. You should do that. We want to.
It's always the way that works, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
I'm curious to see how you feel after you play.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
There are a lot it is.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
There are like cool places to play there and I
think you will get a name and get where you
want to go because you.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Guys are badass.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
How was your experience this year from ud Stuck compared
to other years? Not like we were talking about the
stages before, but the vibe and everything else.
Speaker 5 (11:07):
To see so many people out, like you could feel
that there was people to hear to see us, which
is nice. A lot of new faces as well, which
is obviously what it's all about. But you can see
that there was people dressed up with like in night
costumes and I mean, like nice am to see us,
which is really cool. Like that that never happened, So
we're really super grateful for that made this send for me,
(11:28):
Just seeing people like kind of yeah, making their own
costumes to watch our set and stuff like that takes
time and effort, Like that's cool, it's cool and it's
hard out there, Like dudes, dressing like a full tinfoil.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Right, I don't I see people like how are you
doing that?
Speaker 2 (11:46):
It's like are you fucking hot?
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Ast fuck?
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Even like bands I'm friends with them, Like, don't you
when it's like ninety fahrenheit degrees just not wear that shit?
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Because how do you perform like that?
Speaker 4 (12:00):
It was unexpected?
Speaker 6 (12:01):
It was very cool to see it, right, I mean
just looking out and seeing T shirts and stuff like
you kind of scope out of crowd if they know
who you are and you see a few of your
own shirt should I that's cool?
Speaker 2 (12:09):
I mean and them singing?
Speaker 1 (12:11):

Speaker 2 (12:13):
When you see them knowing the words to your song?
