Speaker 1 (00:04):
Hi, you have done too he censure, w see wow
for you.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
You well, it's a shame mess.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Good in last paid in full, waste of cash, camouflage,
the red.
Speaker 4 (00:26):
It's black. You know what's done. It's done, cheap the
news yourself.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
If you find somebody else, I don't miss you anymore.
Speaker 4 (00:37):
I'm a shop shut up, bang a bang.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
On my torn. This is the pipe man here on
the Adventures Pipeman W four c Y Radio. And I'm
here with our next guest who has some killer new music.
So let's welcome to the show, Bert from all Brook Station.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
How are you?
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Oh, I'm going so good. Thank you so much for
having me man stoke to be here.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
I mean that, oh, it's my pleasure, my pleasure totally.
And uh, you know you got this new song, Sharpshooter,
and uh I want to hear the story behind and
that song.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Okay, uh story behind Sharkshire.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
You know, Uh, it's kind of funny like that one, right,
I mean, we only have three singles out, but that one,
by far is the most polarizing. I've had people that
either are just like hated that song because they loved
the first two so much and it was a deviation
or I've had people that didn't really say much about
the first two be like I love this song. So
(01:38):
for us, I mean it was it was something different.
It was kind of an an anti chorus, you know,
and a rock song that doesn't usually it's not usually
what you expect, and it's a lot more intimate, and
it's it's stripped down because I wanted to show that
we could do that side as well.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
We got the big anthemic stuff, but I.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Also wanted to show like that more intimate, you know
side of like, hey, sometimes life sucks, dude, and I
don't I don't miss me in you know, some of
the really bad situations I used to be in. And
that's kind of what was the birth of Sharpshooters. We
decided to write this song just about being done with
certain things, you know, certain people treating a certain way,
(02:14):
certain relationships, you know, where I was just like, I
used to be a really big people pleaser, used to
just you know, help others at the expense of myself,
and it just kind of got to a point where
I was just like, you know, I've got no back left,
you know, I can't. I hate this And so that
was kind of the the tagline, I don't miss you anymore.
(02:35):
I'm a sharpshooter because sharp shooters don't miss. They're perfect snipers,
they don't miss. So that was kind of a little
fun play on words there. And Jesse the bass player,
he's my co writer. Him and I write all the songs,
and we had such a blast writing Sharpshooter. It was
one of the first ones we wrote together when we
first started writing together, and so it's really cool to
(02:55):
see this song years later come to light.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Yeah, and you know what, your speaking in my language,
because totally I've always been to people please earn't and
people hate when you stop being that way too, when
you're trying to make yourself, but they won't let you
because then they can't manipulate you exactly.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
And they're like, hey, used to be a doormat and
now it's not there. I got to get my own
shoes dirty. Now it's like, well, because I'm not gonna
do that anymore. And I think when I was younger,
you just like, I'm grateful that we live in a
world where I get to learn from my experiences.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Good.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Yeah, right, I get to choose that every day. I
get to wake up and say, Okay, yesterday sucked. But
do I keep letting it suck or do I learn
from it and start recognizing patterns and.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
People and other stuff.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
And so it kind of got to a point where
I just, you know, now, I'm like, I just don't
surround myself with anybody that I don't walk to, you know.
Right on the flip side of that is now I'm like, dude,
I love my life. I love the people that are
in my circle. I would die for them, and I
love them and I know that they've got my back.
So there is some beauty in that and in surrounding
yourself with people that I know would never do that
(04:01):
to me, you know, and it's it's helped me become
a better person too.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
Well, I look at it this way.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
I think you kind of become a sharpshooter of picking
the people that you should be surrounded with.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
I like that. I see what you did there.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
I like see that, see that you do.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
Ultimately, you start recognizing like that is a good person,
you know, you start recognizing small things that they do
when no one's watching that You're like, yeah, that's somebody
I want on my team. That's somebody, you know, somebody
that's honest, somebody that can I mean, I think my
favorite people on my team right now are the ones
that can tell me when I'm not I'm not on
my game. I love the ones that can tell me like,
(04:37):
hey man, this last performance a little shaky, let's tighten
it up, or this song just isn't quite there, or
like those people because I know ultimately they want me
to succeed, and so they're not doing it for ego.
They're not doing it to put me down. It's hey,
I know you've got what it takes. I want to
help push and champion that.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
I love those.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
Ones, and I'd rather that Listen.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
I'm from the Northeast, So rather people like that that
shoot it straight to me, you know, because then at
least a I know where I stand, and then I
can take whatever they're saying and know that it's the truth.
It's not hate. But when people just tell you what
you want to hear, unfortunately, then you keep doing those things,
(05:21):
which doesn't help you. I think people are more helpful
and more your friends when they tell you the shit
that you don't want to hear.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Yes, And I.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Think it's an insecurity thing, like, because I'll admit back
in the day when everybody was stroking the ego, Oh
this is so great.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
It feels good to hear that, and it feels good
to be worshiped, you.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Know, right, But like they said, it didn't do me
any favors because I'm like, well, if that's true, then
why does this keep happening or right? Blah blah blah.
And so I realized it's not a them thing, it's
a me thing. It was a me being like, hey,
I don't I'm secure enough now, you know, like our music.
It's funny because this last week is the first time
(05:59):
I've seen negative feedback online and a metic going Bad.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Dream was awesome.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
They've been out since May second, and you know, I've
been making content and all that stuff, and it's been
it's been like unrealistically positive.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
You know.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Everybody's just loving. And so I'm like, all right, maybe
it's the hype of the new thing. Well let's try
something different. And it was the first time that I
saw comments this is absolute garbage. I hate this, you know,
and I don't know these people, they don't follow us.
It's just the random comment and the thing that happened
that was really really beautiful.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Was I don't take offense to that.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
There are people that will look me in the eyes
and say Metallica sucks and I'm like, okay, cool, I
don't think so, and it has nothing to do with me.
I don't know their life, I don't know their upbringing
and my music. I didn't write my music for everybody.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
I know.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
I'm not gonna win the eight billion people over you know.
I know that's not gonna happen, and I'm not trying to.
I'm trying to write music that's authentic to me, and
if people like the type of music that I like,
then they'll love this. And that's I'm trying to find
my people. And so when I see a comment, you know,
and I usually just kind of mess with them and
joke with the one guy is absolute garbage, and I said, no,
(07:03):
come on, you like it a little bit?
Speaker 1 (07:05):
No, absolutely don't. I said, the algorithm doesn't lie.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
Man, You're watching this for some reason and then becoming
like a positive thing because I'm like, dude, you don't know.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Me personally, So I don't take offense. You can't offend me.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
You don't know me, you know, and so it's it's
been a cool experience to not be a people pleaser,
to you know, become secure enough in myself and my
music that it's okay that people have opinions and yeah
like or don't like it. It's like, oh, that doesn't
take away from my value. I love it, and that's it.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
That's what happens when you become like a reformed people pleaser,
because then you find out you can't please everybody. And
that's the frustrating part. When you're a people pleaser. You
want to please everybody, but there just isn't any pleasing anybody.
So the best bet you can do is please yourself
and then you attract your tribe.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Yes, And I mean on that same side.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
For me, it was like I also had to make
sure I wasn't just like self centered and selfish, you know.
I had to make sure I didn't overcorrect. Yeah, get
everybody else, i' gonna do my thing. It was, it was,
and I'm sure I went through a phase of that
when I was breaking out and just kind of.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Learning my boundaries.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
But over time it just became a thing where I like,
I'm secure enough and that's it, and I I will
do anything for my piece. I think that's my most
protected you know resource, and is peace or I'm just like.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Hey, I want that and I don't. I don't need
to win an argument. I don't need to fight somebody.
I don't need. I just don't need that. I'd rather
have peace.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
I think that's the maturity because when you're younger, it's
almost like you you think that you thrive on drama.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
Oh yeah, you know, but you and that.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Means yeah, at the end of the day, the drama
it just never ran to it causes more drama.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
Piece is a lot better way a.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Man that sound just like, hey, I'd rather be because
I'm I think it's easy for me to love people.
It's easy for me to connect to people, and I'm like,
that's authentic to me. What's not authentic, authentic to me
is confrontation and trying to win.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
I don't need. I already won.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
I'm like, dude, I have the best life in the world.
Like there's nothing anybody can say this guy fend me, dude. Sorry,
you know you can come right up to my face,
but your music sucks. I hate your hair, I hate
your brown skin, whatever, and I'll just be like cool man,
Like you got to figure out in your own life,
and I hope you get there because it's for you
like that, it's gonna, it's gonna, it's gonna affect your life.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
It's not gonna affect me.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
No, no, And you know, it is kind of funny
when you do take that attitude, it messes with them
more than if you were. They want you to argue
with them, So it's very frustrating when you don't to them.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
That that fire needs oxygen and if you just hold
your breath, I love it, right, And it's like, okay, man,
well that kind of killed it for me. And I'm
proud to say I've made a few fans from that,
from just the way I responded to handle situations where
they're like, let me give this another chance, let me
let me see, let me see if I just missed it.
(10:01):
And so I'm like, cool, you know that that works
way more than me pounding my chest and be like, yeah,
I told that Internet guy, you know, Facebook user three
ninety two, he learned his lesson today.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
Right, right.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
And then even with the people, please and what you
find especially doing what you do, is like somebody will
say something so you'll make a change to please them,
and then you upset somebody else, So you know, you
just got I think artists just need to be themselves.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
You create it because that's.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Where your passion's gonna come from. And if you're passionate
about it, so will other people be.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
And back in the day, I mean, I've been in
bands pretty much all my life. Put out some demos,
put out some songs. Nothing, nothing at the magnitude or
level that I'm finally at now. But I've had a
few friends, Hey I love the new stuff. Boy do
I miss the old sound or oh I missed your
old because I used to be in a heavy metal band,
you know, scream on and all that stuff, and it just
it was it just didn't I didn't.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Do it well. I don't think I did it well.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
Like it just was so hard that when I started
doing all book station, I was like, I could do
this all day.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
This is me, this is it. I don't have to
swim upstream, you know, It's like, this is this is easy.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
I got this, And so it used to hurt my
feelings back in the day when I you know, kind
of sneak do a sneak preview of the new songs
and they'd say, oh, I missed the old tune. And
then I started realizing, I'm like, dude, like Lincoln Park
perfect example, right, I see them right now. So many
people are either against the new sound or against you know,
(11:35):
what they're doing. And me, I'm like, well, Lincoln Park
was the first concert I ever watched, I never saw live,
and so for me, I'm like, I'm always going to
have that emotional attachment to hybrid theory always, and it
doesn't I don't have to. It's not a versus competition,
you know. It's like I just I love that and
I keep it what it is. And so for me,
when I hear that from fans of friends, I know
(11:58):
that they're they're ascribing a personal touch to their music.
They're ascribing, you know, a personal feeling that they had
with that music back at that time, and who knows
what they're going through at that time.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
You know, first concert I ever went to Lincoln Park.
I'm gonna talk about that real quick. I was, oh, man,
I was in I think middle school. I think I
was middle school, yeah, middle school, maybe a freshman high school,
I don't know. I was young.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
I know that, and I got some surprise tickets for
my older brothers to go see Lincoln Park.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Life changed forever.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
It's craziest, Like it was Story of the Year, then
it was Hoopa stinc then Pod, then Lincoln Park, and
the Story of the Year came out swinging doing backflips.
I didn't even know you could do that was allowed.
I was like, you, you're allowed to do backflips with
the guitar. The energy was insane. Then Hoopa Stink came out,
(12:51):
killed it. Man, the energy of the crowd loved every word.
Then Pod was just like such a professional. It's like
everybody was singing every part of that of that set.
Then every like the atmosphere changed. When Lincoln Park took
the stage. It was like everybody in that room. It
was like the universe scooped us out of Earth, put
(13:14):
us in this like different plane of existence. We had
the concert and then put us back at the end.
It was just the craziest thing, craziest, awesome, coolest experience
sing that sing Lincoln Park live. And someday I know
I'll get to thank them in person. I know I'll
be able to be like you guys came to California
(13:35):
and change my life and that is the reason I'm
in a band now. I watched Chester Bennington Rest in Peace,
and I watched him and I thought, that's what I
want to do for the rest of my life.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
Is that all right?
Speaker 2 (13:46):
So tell us how people can reach out to you
on socials, how they can reach out on the web,
buy your merch, check out your music, all that great stuff.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Everything is under the same handle All Brooks Station. That's it.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Page brown Boy Burke, but then I mean all Brooks
Stations where it's at. All brook Station is on social
media the cool thing because as a young artist, it's
like your you're drilled, go to the reels and tiktoks
and the videos ads.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
You know.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
I saw this post this morning. It was Kurt Cobain
playing and they said, imagine if someone told him to
go make tiktoks.
Speaker 4 (14:25):
And oh my god.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
It's funny because it's like, well, yeah, it's a different era,
you know. It's like it's it's a different time like that,
and I might get a lot of heat from this.
I think he'd kill it. I think anybody back in
the day, because they know how to play the game,
they understand and they would kill it. Because that's their
their performers, and it's just another medium of telling their story.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
I think he might have liked it better because he
just wanted to stay home anyway and play music, you know,
and he would, Okay, yeah, I don't have to go
out there and deal with you know, my so show
anxiety or rock star shit that I don't want and
all that stuff, and I can stay in my bedroom
and play my acoustic with Courtney and do a TikTok okay,
(15:10):
I'll do it.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
Social Media gets a lot of hate, and I used
to fight it at first, but then I thought like, oh,
what a cool way for fans across the whole world
to discover us, Like there's nothing like that.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
And yes, it's at first you feel cringey.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
I've made my fare of videos where I'm just singing
you're kind of lip syncing, But I also don't like
lipsicking because I feel like the energy is lost.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
So I'll sing for reals.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
And it's weird when you're in public and I'm singing
and people are like, you know, I got air butts
in and my videographer is doing this thing and I'm
singing out loud. It's cringey, and I never want to
like I will tell the videographer, hey, I'll do it,
and if people are passing by, that's fine. I never
want to draw attention, even though I do love the attention,
I don't want.
Speaker 4 (15:53):
To do it.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Then.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
I don't like personally doing that when it's like, hey, dude,
I'm trying to have lunch and this guy's yelling in
my ear, you know. Like for me, I don't like
that because I don't like bothering people. But if it's
like we're at a park or at a beach or
something and a lot of people are playing or doing whatever,
it's it's an appropriate setting and it's respectful that I'm.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Like, yeah, I'll sing and do it. I don't mind it,
you know.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
But it is tough and cringey at first, and you
feel like, well, am I making all these videos to
get seventeen views?
Speaker 1 (16:23):
You know?
Speaker 3 (16:23):
But I'm like, no, I'm not doing it for that,
Like I'm doing it to polish my craft so that
when the time comes and this thing does explode, I
don't have to start from zero. I'm like, oh no,
I've been doing this for years. I'm ready. I know
how to do it and we just level up totally.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
I love it and I love your music, and everybody's
got to check you out. And you've got the new
album's going to drop in twenty twenty six.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Yes, all we have is pain, Yes, yeah, yeah?
Speaker 2 (16:52):
And is there anything else you want to share with
the listeners. We haven't covered array that they need to
look out for.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
If you're in Utah Salt Lake City, we are having
our debut performance, our first time ever live show at
sound Well Salt Lake City and it will be August
twenty six at seven pm.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Doors open at six.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
Our in house DJ, Frank Zoo will be DJing from
six thirty to seven and then we take the stage.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
And here's all I want to say about the show. Actually,
two things real quick.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
So when you hear new band, most people think mistakes
all the kinks, they're figuring it out. And so I'm like, yes,
we are a new band, but this is not new
to us. We might be new to you, but this
isn't new to us. And so I think a lot
of people are going to go to this show expecting
an opener like cool, we're here, and.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
They're going to get a headliner.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
We've worked on this show for the last six months
of like everything dialed down to a tea. It's a
performance and that's something that I never want to lose.
I'm like, hey, what makes food fighters, metallic, all those things?
Taylor Swift? What makes all of those things different than
an amateur? And so you start to pick those apart
and realize what's being done behind the scenes, the things
(18:08):
that we don't see that makes a show great.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
So there's that.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
And then my last little quip is you think of
your favorite artists, favorite band of all time, if you
could hop into a time machine and go back to
their debut performance once you give anything to say, Like,
if I could go back and see Lincoln Park's first
ever public appearance, done, take my soul here it is.
I want to see that flipnot same thing I want
(18:33):
to see that I want to see like I would
love to just be there in person.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
I was at the Metallica first show ever?
Speaker 4 (18:40):
Were you and Slayer?
Speaker 3 (18:42):
Okay, so tell me, given what you know about Metallica, now,
what does that first show mean to you?
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Now I'm gonview you.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
It means fucking everything, and it's great when I tell
certain bands during the interviews at the look that you
got from them because it is iconic, and that there's
so many first because my dad I grew up in Jersey.
My dad moved me to LA in nineteen eighty, so,
like my first club show ever was Motley Krue before
they end the album at the Roxy on the Sunset Strip,
(19:14):
like and they weren't even glam yet, they were horror punk.
So they tried they tried to light the Roxy on
fire to bring Satan in. And I have a visual
of that in my head to this day, like as
if I was there, I like remember every part of it.
And you know, those types of things are so badass,
(19:37):
and you like Metallica that first show ever. This dude
gets off the stage, hands me a business card and
says Metallica Power Metal, Dave Mustain, that's crazy, right, So
like memories like that, Like you can't buy memories like that,
(19:57):
and then you know, when you do see them big
like they are now, it's like I remember when you
know and you've seen the whole journey and it's kind
of cool because you're part of their journey.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
Yeah, dude, And that's how many people get to say that.
I mean, how many people are in that room that
day with you.
Speaker 4 (20:15):
You know, there were twenty five of us.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
That's crazy to me, right, crazy dude, twenty five.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
That's what I'm saying. I'm like, dude, I know we
will make it. I know because I won't let us
give up or fail.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
I just won't.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
I really do believe in taking your life in your
own hands. Yes, taking your life is a bad phrase
because it's not that what I mean.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Let me rephrase that.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
I believe in controlling your fate and your destiny and
taking life as as as everything, taking it and making
something out of it.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Like I feel like that's what we're here to do.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
Is we have this beautiful gift of life that is
so fragile. It's it's one second and it's done, you know.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
And it's like you said before about choices, like, I'm
all about choices. I also am a motivational speaker, so
you're speaking my language, and you know, we can choose
our destiny. We don't have Like so many people, they
take what happened to them in life and they make
it like they have no choice.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
No, it's not what happens to you, it's what.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
You do with it, exactly.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
They make it look like, you know, they got a
they got a paper cut and then they lost their finger.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
It's like, no, it'll heal. Put a bandit on it.
It's not gone. You know, you can still use it.
It'll heal.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
And some people just keep opening it and keep keep
never letting it heal. Then I think a big thing
that's helped me is responding rather than reacting. Yeah, when
life has experiences where I'm like, hey, I can choose
to react, and that's usually not the best way to
do it because it's going to be emotional. But if
I can respond, if I can eternalize it, take it in, respond,
(21:58):
And so that's what I'm kind of trying to do
with my music.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
I'm trying to respond to why am I here?
Speaker 4 (22:03):
You know what?
Speaker 3 (22:04):
Why am I breathing today? What is my purpose? Why
am I here? What do I want to leave behind?
I just became a new dad and I love thank
you my daughter, She's my entire world. And I'm like,
at my funeral someday, what do I want her to say?
And I think about that all the time, every single day.
I promise you I think about that every single day,
(22:25):
and I know what that answer is. And so that's
the type of guy I'm trying to be. This type
of music I want to leave behind, and I want
people to have your experience with the Metallica, with all
Brooks stations that they go.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
I was there.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
I remember, I remember them their first show, and now
they're the biggest rock band in the world.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Right, Matt, And now you're going to have to let
me know how many people showed up at your debut,
and I bet it'll be more than twenty.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
Twenty Five's my goal. I saw. I'm like, all right, but.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
I think we're at several hundreds as far as where
we're going to be at, and I think it's great.
The room is a six hundred capacity three room, and
I think that's massive. I don't think we're gonna sell out.
I mean, it is what it is like. We're a
brand new band.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
You know. As much as I want to have.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
All the hopes and dreams of, oh my gosh, we're
gonna sell out, people under estimate how hard it is
to get six hundred people to come on a Tuesday
to pay twenty five bucks to come see you as
a brand new band, you know.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
Yeah, And so for me.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
I'm like, I don't look at that as a bad thing.
If we had seventeen one hundred, three hundred everybody that
was there, I'm like, you made that choice to come
here and see us when you could have done anything.
I mean, thank you, Like for me, it's an honor
and they're gonna get as if I'm playing in front
of one hundred thousand people regardless of who's there.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
But I'm grateful for it.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
Man, I'm I am grateful for every ticket that's been
sold so far, even VIP like we've had great success,
especially for a brand new band.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
I'm like, we're doing it's awesome.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
I already know, I know the number and so far,
I'm like overwhelmed and it's fantastic.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Well, you deserve it because your music's badass, and I
hope you do all that out.
Speaker 4 (24:00):
I'm painting it out in the universe because that's a
cool story.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
Later, we sold out our first gig ever, you know,
and thanks a lot for giving us great music and
thanks for being on the Adventures of Pipe Man.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
Hey, thank you so much for having me and giving
me the opportunity to speak about my music.
Speaker 4 (24:17):
I appreciate it anytime.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
Brother, all right, man, take care Thank you so much,
Thank you for listening to the adventures of pipemin on
w for CUI Radio.
Hi, you have done too he censure, w see wow
for you.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
You well, it's a shame mess.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Good in last paid in full, waste of cash, camouflage,
the red.
Speaker 4 (00:26):
It's black. You know what's done. It's done, cheap the
news yourself.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
If you find somebody else, I don't miss you anymore.
Speaker 4 (00:37):
I'm a shop shut up, bang a bang.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
On my torn. This is the pipe man here on
the Adventures Pipeman W four c Y Radio. And I'm
here with our next guest who has some killer new music.
So let's welcome to the show, Bert from all Brook Station.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
How are you?
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Oh, I'm going so good. Thank you so much for
having me man stoke to be here.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
I mean that, oh, it's my pleasure, my pleasure totally.
And uh, you know you got this new song, Sharpshooter,
and uh I want to hear the story behind and
that song.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Okay, uh story behind Sharkshire.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
You know, Uh, it's kind of funny like that one, right,
I mean, we only have three singles out, but that one,
by far is the most polarizing. I've had people that
either are just like hated that song because they loved
the first two so much and it was a deviation
or I've had people that didn't really say much about
the first two be like I love this song. So
(01:38):
for us, I mean it was it was something different.
It was kind of an an anti chorus, you know,
and a rock song that doesn't usually it's not usually
what you expect, and it's a lot more intimate, and
it's it's stripped down because I wanted to show that
we could do that side as well.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
We got the big anthemic stuff, but I.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Also wanted to show like that more intimate, you know
side of like, hey, sometimes life sucks, dude, and I
don't I don't miss me in you know, some of
the really bad situations I used to be in. And
that's kind of what was the birth of Sharpshooters. We
decided to write this song just about being done with
certain things, you know, certain people treating a certain way,
(02:14):
certain relationships, you know, where I was just like, I
used to be a really big people pleaser, used to
just you know, help others at the expense of myself,
and it just kind of got to a point where
I was just like, you know, I've got no back left,
you know, I can't. I hate this And so that
was kind of the the tagline, I don't miss you anymore.
(02:35):
I'm a sharpshooter because sharp shooters don't miss. They're perfect snipers,
they don't miss. So that was kind of a little
fun play on words there. And Jesse the bass player,
he's my co writer. Him and I write all the songs,
and we had such a blast writing Sharpshooter. It was
one of the first ones we wrote together when we
first started writing together, and so it's really cool to
(02:55):
see this song years later come to light.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Yeah, and you know what, your speaking in my language,
because totally I've always been to people please earn't and
people hate when you stop being that way too, when
you're trying to make yourself, but they won't let you
because then they can't manipulate you exactly.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
And they're like, hey, used to be a doormat and
now it's not there. I got to get my own
shoes dirty. Now it's like, well, because I'm not gonna
do that anymore. And I think when I was younger,
you just like, I'm grateful that we live in a
world where I get to learn from my experiences.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Good.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Yeah, right, I get to choose that every day. I
get to wake up and say, Okay, yesterday sucked. But
do I keep letting it suck or do I learn
from it and start recognizing patterns and.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
People and other stuff.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
And so it kind of got to a point where
I just, you know, now, I'm like, I just don't
surround myself with anybody that I don't walk to, you know.
Right on the flip side of that is now I'm like, dude,
I love my life. I love the people that are
in my circle. I would die for them, and I
love them and I know that they've got my back.
So there is some beauty in that and in surrounding
yourself with people that I know would never do that
(04:01):
to me, you know, and it's it's helped me become
a better person too.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
Well, I look at it this way.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
I think you kind of become a sharpshooter of picking
the people that you should be surrounded with.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
I like that. I see what you did there.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
I like see that, see that you do.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
Ultimately, you start recognizing like that is a good person,
you know, you start recognizing small things that they do
when no one's watching that You're like, yeah, that's somebody
I want on my team. That's somebody, you know, somebody
that's honest, somebody that can I mean, I think my
favorite people on my team right now are the ones
that can tell me when I'm not I'm not on
my game. I love the ones that can tell me like,
(04:37):
hey man, this last performance a little shaky, let's tighten
it up, or this song just isn't quite there, or
like those people because I know ultimately they want me
to succeed, and so they're not doing it for ego.
They're not doing it to put me down. It's hey,
I know you've got what it takes. I want to
help push and champion that.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
I love those.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
Ones, and I'd rather that Listen.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
I'm from the Northeast, So rather people like that that
shoot it straight to me, you know, because then at
least a I know where I stand, and then I
can take whatever they're saying and know that it's the truth.
It's not hate. But when people just tell you what
you want to hear, unfortunately, then you keep doing those things,
(05:21):
which doesn't help you. I think people are more helpful
and more your friends when they tell you the shit
that you don't want to hear.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Yes, And I.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Think it's an insecurity thing, like, because I'll admit back
in the day when everybody was stroking the ego, Oh
this is so great.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
It feels good to hear that, and it feels good
to be worshiped, you.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Know, right, But like they said, it didn't do me
any favors because I'm like, well, if that's true, then
why does this keep happening or right? Blah blah blah.
And so I realized it's not a them thing, it's
a me thing. It was a me being like, hey,
I don't I'm secure enough now, you know, like our music.
It's funny because this last week is the first time
(05:59):
I've seen negative feedback online and a metic going Bad.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Dream was awesome.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
They've been out since May second, and you know, I've
been making content and all that stuff, and it's been
it's been like unrealistically positive.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
You know.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Everybody's just loving. And so I'm like, all right, maybe
it's the hype of the new thing. Well let's try
something different. And it was the first time that I
saw comments this is absolute garbage. I hate this, you know,
and I don't know these people, they don't follow us.
It's just the random comment and the thing that happened
that was really really beautiful.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Was I don't take offense to that.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
There are people that will look me in the eyes
and say Metallica sucks and I'm like, okay, cool, I
don't think so, and it has nothing to do with me.
I don't know their life, I don't know their upbringing
and my music. I didn't write my music for everybody.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
I know.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
I'm not gonna win the eight billion people over you know.
I know that's not gonna happen, and I'm not trying to.
I'm trying to write music that's authentic to me, and
if people like the type of music that I like,
then they'll love this. And that's I'm trying to find
my people. And so when I see a comment, you know,
and I usually just kind of mess with them and
joke with the one guy is absolute garbage, and I said, no,
(07:03):
come on, you like it a little bit?
Speaker 1 (07:05):
No, absolutely don't. I said, the algorithm doesn't lie.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
Man, You're watching this for some reason and then becoming
like a positive thing because I'm like, dude, you don't know.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Me personally, So I don't take offense. You can't offend me.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
You don't know me, you know, and so it's it's
been a cool experience to not be a people pleaser,
to you know, become secure enough in myself and my
music that it's okay that people have opinions and yeah
like or don't like it. It's like, oh, that doesn't
take away from my value. I love it, and that's it.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
That's what happens when you become like a reformed people pleaser,
because then you find out you can't please everybody. And
that's the frustrating part. When you're a people pleaser. You
want to please everybody, but there just isn't any pleasing anybody.
So the best bet you can do is please yourself
and then you attract your tribe.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Yes, And I mean on that same side.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
For me, it was like I also had to make
sure I wasn't just like self centered and selfish, you know.
I had to make sure I didn't overcorrect. Yeah, get
everybody else, i' gonna do my thing. It was, it was,
and I'm sure I went through a phase of that
when I was breaking out and just kind of.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Learning my boundaries.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
But over time it just became a thing where I like,
I'm secure enough and that's it, and I I will
do anything for my piece. I think that's my most
protected you know resource, and is peace or I'm just like.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Hey, I want that and I don't. I don't need
to win an argument. I don't need to fight somebody.
I don't need. I just don't need that. I'd rather
have peace.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
I think that's the maturity because when you're younger, it's
almost like you you think that you thrive on drama.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
Oh yeah, you know, but you and that.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Means yeah, at the end of the day, the drama
it just never ran to it causes more drama.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
Piece is a lot better way a.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Man that sound just like, hey, I'd rather be because
I'm I think it's easy for me to love people.
It's easy for me to connect to people, and I'm like,
that's authentic to me. What's not authentic, authentic to me
is confrontation and trying to win.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
I don't need. I already won.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
I'm like, dude, I have the best life in the world.
Like there's nothing anybody can say this guy fend me, dude. Sorry,
you know you can come right up to my face,
but your music sucks. I hate your hair, I hate
your brown skin, whatever, and I'll just be like cool man,
Like you got to figure out in your own life,
and I hope you get there because it's for you
like that, it's gonna, it's gonna, it's gonna affect your life.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
It's not gonna affect me.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
No, no, And you know, it is kind of funny
when you do take that attitude, it messes with them
more than if you were. They want you to argue
with them, So it's very frustrating when you don't to them.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
That that fire needs oxygen and if you just hold
your breath, I love it, right, And it's like, okay, man,
well that kind of killed it for me. And I'm
proud to say I've made a few fans from that,
from just the way I responded to handle situations where
they're like, let me give this another chance, let me
let me see, let me see if I just missed it.
(10:01):
And so I'm like, cool, you know that that works
way more than me pounding my chest and be like, yeah,
I told that Internet guy, you know, Facebook user three
ninety two, he learned his lesson today.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
Right, right.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
And then even with the people, please and what you
find especially doing what you do, is like somebody will
say something so you'll make a change to please them,
and then you upset somebody else, So you know, you
just got I think artists just need to be themselves.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
You create it because that's.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Where your passion's gonna come from. And if you're passionate
about it, so will other people be.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
And back in the day, I mean, I've been in
bands pretty much all my life. Put out some demos,
put out some songs. Nothing, nothing at the magnitude or
level that I'm finally at now. But I've had a
few friends, Hey I love the new stuff. Boy do
I miss the old sound or oh I missed your
old because I used to be in a heavy metal band,
you know, scream on and all that stuff, and it just
it was it just didn't I didn't.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Do it well. I don't think I did it well.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
Like it just was so hard that when I started
doing all book station, I was like, I could do
this all day.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
This is me, this is it. I don't have to
swim upstream, you know, It's like, this is this is easy.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
I got this, And so it used to hurt my
feelings back in the day when I you know, kind
of sneak do a sneak preview of the new songs
and they'd say, oh, I missed the old tune. And
then I started realizing, I'm like, dude, like Lincoln Park
perfect example, right, I see them right now. So many
people are either against the new sound or against you know,
(11:35):
what they're doing. And me, I'm like, well, Lincoln Park
was the first concert I ever watched, I never saw live,
and so for me, I'm like, I'm always going to
have that emotional attachment to hybrid theory always, and it
doesn't I don't have to. It's not a versus competition,
you know. It's like I just I love that and
I keep it what it is. And so for me,
when I hear that from fans of friends, I know
(11:58):
that they're they're ascribing a personal touch to their music.
They're ascribing, you know, a personal feeling that they had
with that music back at that time, and who knows
what they're going through at that time.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
You know, first concert I ever went to Lincoln Park.
I'm gonna talk about that real quick. I was, oh, man,
I was in I think middle school. I think I
was middle school, yeah, middle school, maybe a freshman high school,
I don't know. I was young.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
I know that, and I got some surprise tickets for
my older brothers to go see Lincoln Park.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Life changed forever.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
It's craziest, Like it was Story of the Year, then
it was Hoopa stinc then Pod, then Lincoln Park, and
the Story of the Year came out swinging doing backflips.
I didn't even know you could do that was allowed.
I was like, you, you're allowed to do backflips with
the guitar. The energy was insane. Then Hoopa Stink came out,
(12:51):
killed it. Man, the energy of the crowd loved every word.
Then Pod was just like such a professional. It's like
everybody was singing every part of that of that set.
Then every like the atmosphere changed. When Lincoln Park took
the stage. It was like everybody in that room. It
was like the universe scooped us out of Earth, put
(13:14):
us in this like different plane of existence. We had
the concert and then put us back at the end.
It was just the craziest thing, craziest, awesome, coolest experience
sing that sing Lincoln Park live. And someday I know
I'll get to thank them in person. I know I'll
be able to be like you guys came to California
(13:35):
and change my life and that is the reason I'm
in a band now. I watched Chester Bennington Rest in Peace,
and I watched him and I thought, that's what I
want to do for the rest of my life.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
Is that all right?
Speaker 2 (13:46):
So tell us how people can reach out to you
on socials, how they can reach out on the web,
buy your merch, check out your music, all that great stuff.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Everything is under the same handle All Brooks Station. That's it.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Page brown Boy Burke, but then I mean all Brooks
Stations where it's at. All brook Station is on social
media the cool thing because as a young artist, it's
like your you're drilled, go to the reels and tiktoks
and the videos ads.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
You know.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
I saw this post this morning. It was Kurt Cobain
playing and they said, imagine if someone told him to
go make tiktoks.
Speaker 4 (14:25):
And oh my god.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
It's funny because it's like, well, yeah, it's a different era,
you know. It's like it's it's a different time like that,
and I might get a lot of heat from this.
I think he'd kill it. I think anybody back in
the day, because they know how to play the game,
they understand and they would kill it. Because that's their
their performers, and it's just another medium of telling their story.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
I think he might have liked it better because he
just wanted to stay home anyway and play music, you know,
and he would, Okay, yeah, I don't have to go
out there and deal with you know, my so show
anxiety or rock star shit that I don't want and
all that stuff, and I can stay in my bedroom
and play my acoustic with Courtney and do a TikTok okay,
(15:10):
I'll do it.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
Social Media gets a lot of hate, and I used
to fight it at first, but then I thought like, oh,
what a cool way for fans across the whole world
to discover us, Like there's nothing like that.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
And yes, it's at first you feel cringey.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
I've made my fare of videos where I'm just singing
you're kind of lip syncing, But I also don't like
lipsicking because I feel like the energy is lost.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
So I'll sing for reals.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
And it's weird when you're in public and I'm singing
and people are like, you know, I got air butts
in and my videographer is doing this thing and I'm
singing out loud. It's cringey, and I never want to
like I will tell the videographer, hey, I'll do it,
and if people are passing by, that's fine. I never
want to draw attention, even though I do love the attention,
I don't want.
Speaker 4 (15:53):
To do it.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Then.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
I don't like personally doing that when it's like, hey, dude,
I'm trying to have lunch and this guy's yelling in
my ear, you know. Like for me, I don't like
that because I don't like bothering people. But if it's
like we're at a park or at a beach or
something and a lot of people are playing or doing whatever,
it's it's an appropriate setting and it's respectful that I'm.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Like, yeah, I'll sing and do it. I don't mind it,
you know.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
But it is tough and cringey at first, and you
feel like, well, am I making all these videos to
get seventeen views?
Speaker 1 (16:23):
You know?
Speaker 3 (16:23):
But I'm like, no, I'm not doing it for that,
Like I'm doing it to polish my craft so that
when the time comes and this thing does explode, I
don't have to start from zero. I'm like, oh no,
I've been doing this for years. I'm ready. I know
how to do it and we just level up totally.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
I love it and I love your music, and everybody's
got to check you out. And you've got the new
album's going to drop in twenty twenty six.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Yes, all we have is pain, Yes, yeah, yeah?
Speaker 2 (16:52):
And is there anything else you want to share with
the listeners. We haven't covered array that they need to
look out for.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
If you're in Utah Salt Lake City, we are having
our debut performance, our first time ever live show at
sound Well Salt Lake City and it will be August
twenty six at seven pm.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Doors open at six.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
Our in house DJ, Frank Zoo will be DJing from
six thirty to seven and then we take the stage.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
And here's all I want to say about the show. Actually,
two things real quick.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
So when you hear new band, most people think mistakes
all the kinks, they're figuring it out. And so I'm like, yes,
we are a new band, but this is not new
to us. We might be new to you, but this
isn't new to us. And so I think a lot
of people are going to go to this show expecting
an opener like cool, we're here, and.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
They're going to get a headliner.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
We've worked on this show for the last six months
of like everything dialed down to a tea. It's a
performance and that's something that I never want to lose.
I'm like, hey, what makes food fighters, metallic, all those things?
Taylor Swift? What makes all of those things different than
an amateur? And so you start to pick those apart
and realize what's being done behind the scenes, the things
(18:08):
that we don't see that makes a show great.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
So there's that.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
And then my last little quip is you think of
your favorite artists, favorite band of all time, if you
could hop into a time machine and go back to
their debut performance once you give anything to say, Like,
if I could go back and see Lincoln Park's first
ever public appearance, done, take my soul here it is.
I want to see that flipnot same thing I want
(18:33):
to see that I want to see like I would
love to just be there in person.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
I was at the Metallica first show ever?
Speaker 4 (18:40):
Were you and Slayer?
Speaker 3 (18:42):
Okay, so tell me, given what you know about Metallica, now,
what does that first show mean to you?
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Now I'm gonview you.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
It means fucking everything, and it's great when I tell
certain bands during the interviews at the look that you
got from them because it is iconic, and that there's
so many first because my dad I grew up in Jersey.
My dad moved me to LA in nineteen eighty, so,
like my first club show ever was Motley Krue before
they end the album at the Roxy on the Sunset Strip,
(19:14):
like and they weren't even glam yet, they were horror punk.
So they tried they tried to light the Roxy on
fire to bring Satan in. And I have a visual
of that in my head to this day, like as
if I was there, I like remember every part of it.
And you know, those types of things are so badass,
(19:37):
and you like Metallica that first show ever. This dude
gets off the stage, hands me a business card and
says Metallica Power Metal, Dave Mustain, that's crazy, right, So
like memories like that, Like you can't buy memories like that,
(19:57):
and then you know, when you do see them big
like they are now, it's like I remember when you
know and you've seen the whole journey and it's kind
of cool because you're part of their journey.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
Yeah, dude, And that's how many people get to say that.
I mean, how many people are in that room that
day with you.
Speaker 4 (20:15):
You know, there were twenty five of us.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
That's crazy to me, right, crazy dude, twenty five.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
That's what I'm saying. I'm like, dude, I know we
will make it. I know because I won't let us
give up or fail.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
I just won't.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
I really do believe in taking your life in your
own hands. Yes, taking your life is a bad phrase
because it's not that what I mean.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Let me rephrase that.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
I believe in controlling your fate and your destiny and
taking life as as as everything, taking it and making
something out of it.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Like I feel like that's what we're here to do.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
Is we have this beautiful gift of life that is
so fragile. It's it's one second and it's done, you know.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
And it's like you said before about choices, like, I'm
all about choices. I also am a motivational speaker, so
you're speaking my language, and you know, we can choose
our destiny. We don't have Like so many people, they
take what happened to them in life and they make
it like they have no choice.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
No, it's not what happens to you, it's what.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
You do with it, exactly.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
They make it look like, you know, they got a
they got a paper cut and then they lost their finger.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
It's like, no, it'll heal. Put a bandit on it.
It's not gone. You know, you can still use it.
It'll heal.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
And some people just keep opening it and keep keep
never letting it heal. Then I think a big thing
that's helped me is responding rather than reacting. Yeah, when
life has experiences where I'm like, hey, I can choose
to react, and that's usually not the best way to
do it because it's going to be emotional. But if
I can respond, if I can eternalize it, take it in, respond,
(21:58):
And so that's what I'm kind of trying to do
with my music.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
I'm trying to respond to why am I here?
Speaker 4 (22:03):
You know what?
Speaker 3 (22:04):
Why am I breathing today? What is my purpose? Why
am I here? What do I want to leave behind?
I just became a new dad and I love thank
you my daughter, She's my entire world. And I'm like,
at my funeral someday, what do I want her to say?
And I think about that all the time, every single day.
I promise you I think about that every single day,
(22:25):
and I know what that answer is. And so that's
the type of guy I'm trying to be. This type
of music I want to leave behind, and I want
people to have your experience with the Metallica, with all
Brooks stations that they go.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
I was there.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
I remember, I remember them their first show, and now
they're the biggest rock band in the world.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Right, Matt, And now you're going to have to let
me know how many people showed up at your debut,
and I bet it'll be more than twenty.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
Twenty Five's my goal. I saw. I'm like, all right, but.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
I think we're at several hundreds as far as where
we're going to be at, and I think it's great.
The room is a six hundred capacity three room, and
I think that's massive. I don't think we're gonna sell out.
I mean, it is what it is like. We're a
brand new band.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
You know. As much as I want to have.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
All the hopes and dreams of, oh my gosh, we're
gonna sell out, people under estimate how hard it is
to get six hundred people to come on a Tuesday
to pay twenty five bucks to come see you as
a brand new band, you know.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
Yeah, And so for me.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
I'm like, I don't look at that as a bad thing.
If we had seventeen one hundred, three hundred everybody that
was there, I'm like, you made that choice to come
here and see us when you could have done anything.
I mean, thank you, Like for me, it's an honor
and they're gonna get as if I'm playing in front
of one hundred thousand people regardless of who's there.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
But I'm grateful for it.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
Man, I'm I am grateful for every ticket that's been
sold so far, even VIP like we've had great success,
especially for a brand new band.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
I'm like, we're doing it's awesome.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
I already know, I know the number and so far,
I'm like overwhelmed and it's fantastic.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Well, you deserve it because your music's badass, and I
hope you do all that out.
Speaker 4 (24:00):
I'm painting it out in the universe because that's a
cool story.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
Later, we sold out our first gig ever, you know,
and thanks a lot for giving us great music and
thanks for being on the Adventures of Pipe Man.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
Hey, thank you so much for having me and giving
me the opportunity to speak about my music.
Speaker 4 (24:17):
I appreciate it anytime.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
Brother, all right, man, take care Thank you so much,
Thank you for listening to the adventures of pipemin on
w for CUI Radio.
