PipemanRadio Interviews Bloodywood at Welcome To Rockville 2023

On this episode of the Adventures of Pipeman, Pipeman speaks to the band Bloodywood. The conversation begins with Pipeman reminiscing about their first meeting at the Bloodstock festival and expressing excitement about seeing them again at Download. They discuss a fan who gave the lead singer a cool shirt, showcasing the band's connection with their fans. The lead singer also talks about his tattoo, a cover-up of a previous tattoo, featuring a Raven getting shot.

The conversation then shifts to the band's experience at Welcome to Rockville. They express their gratitude for the support they receive from their US fan base and the love they felt from the crowd despite the scorching sun. Pipeman jokes about Florida's bipolar weather and the unique experience of performing at the Daytona 500 Raceway. The band members appreciate the special opportunity of playing metal music in such a unique setting.

Pipeman mentions that many people he interacts with at festivals have been talking about Bloodywood, highlighting their popularity among the festival-goers. The band members humbly acknowledge the support they receive from the US and other parts of the world, recognizing that they are sometimes even bigger outside of their home country, India. They discuss the challenges of the metal scene in India, where commercial music dominates but with a growing metal fan base. They talk about the band's journey and how being recognized internationally has led to recognition within their home country.

The conversation concludes with the band sharing stories of how their music has resonated with listeners who don't typically listen to metal. They recount encounters with fans who express their admiration for Bloodywood's music despite not being regular metal listeners. The band members appreciate the impact they have had on a wider audience and their role in expanding the metal scene in India.

Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Hey, you love them too?Sure, I'm come from four se Wow

(00:11):
for you. Wake up of America. It's time for the Adventures of Pipe
Man on Wi fourcy dot com.West pom Beach is number one internet radio
station. Here's your host, theWhite Man, gonna gotta the God and

(00:54):
I think it's gonna do big enoughfor this. It's the Pipe Man here
on the Adventures play meant that befour cy Radio and Army here with blood
Yes, So what was it?Was it Download or Bloodstock that I saw
you the first time at that wesat down. We haven't played download yet.
We're gonna play it in June,so it's definitely Bloodstock. It was

(01:15):
Bloodstock, and I'm gonna see youat download, so there it is because
I'll be there too. I loveit. And I gotta talk about your
shirt there. Yeah, Okay,that's a cool shirt. Yeah. A
fan gave it to me. Reallyyeah. So this is September when we
came here, so in Dallas andwe did our sound check, we went
to eat food and there were twopeople who were coming for our show and

(01:38):
I talked to them because they werelike, hey, all excited, and
I said, hey, nice tshirt. So the woman who does this
work basically, and she was like, hey, do you want one?
I was like yes, So wecame in for the second time and they
bought like T shirts. I thinkthey got one to you as well.
Yeah, they said no, there'sgot too, and they happened to give
it to me. So I waslucky because my girlfriend likes cats. So

(01:59):
but yeah, I was sweet atthem because I actually heard that story being
told then because Jed happened to mentionit to them like eight months ago and
they brought him T shirts this time. So it was a super wholesome moment.
Nice. And I also want totalk about your tattoo that caught my
attention too. Yeah that's bad ass. Yeah it used to have a bad
tattoo behind it, and I gotit covered up. They did a good

(02:22):
job covering it up, for sure. Absolutely no, they started looking cool,
so like, don't cover it upaltogether, just like this is this
looks good. So that's pretty muchabout it. But I actually like ravens
a lot, so that that's whythis is a raven getting shot. And
then we would it is a partof a sleeve, but it started hurting
it too much. I was likelet's let's stick it, Let's do the

(02:42):
rest later. Did you know thatravens and crows are like gang like gangs,
and they'll remember if you were notnice to them, Like it could
be forty years later, they'll rememberand they'll like, they won't like you.
I no, no, so funny. There was a TV show right
now called Beef like I don't knowif you've seen it, but it's like

(03:04):
there's a funny scene at the endwhere it's a spoiler though, man,
but I mean, yeah, Iguess I shouldn't do it for all the
people watching Beef. I'm not gonnaI'm not gonna spoil it for them,
but yeah, they better check itout. It underlines crows, amazing memories
and intelligence. Nice. So howdoes it feel to be here at Welcome
to Rockville? Amazing? As always. You know, the US has always
been a huge support base for us, and you know, we again,

(03:27):
we're very lucky to do this,and you know that we saw a lot
of love from the crowd today.Even though the sun was really beating down
on them. I felt really badfor them because it was super hot and
we're kind of used to the sun. Even though we felt at this time,
because you know, we're in atwo of us this time and we're
getting a bit. It's Florida.It's not the UK. You know that

(03:49):
over there that that's some by powerweather. Like I live here in Florida,
so we have two seasons hot andhotter. Today is the hot day,
not the other day. So that'sgood because it could get brutal here
and you're here at the Daytona fivehundred race way. Even somebody like me,
it's like so funny story. Ihave a brother and he don't want

(04:12):
to ever want to hear why Italk about the festivals or nothing like.
But I did text him. I'mlike last time, I'm like, I'm
driving on the Daytona Speedway. Iknow he's into cars. He's like,
send a picture. It's like oneof those things where even the bands are
fan boying out or fan growing outon the fact that you're here at the
speedway. Sure, I mean we, I mean we didn't fanboy, but

(04:36):
it took a minute to just howbig this place is. Right. Oh,
it's not ending at all. LikeI wouldn't say, like so we're
not into racing. I guess likewe, I mean cause and stuff a
cool like in that sense. Butat the same time, like you said,
there is a special moment over herewhere there's a tendency like at least
when you've seen all these stages andall these major festivals, it's great that

(04:58):
you can be thrown a covedball aswell like this and be like, we're
in the middle of a fucking racetrack, slamming metal, you know like that,
I know, right, that's lookingup like it's it's actually just such
a special new experience and that that'swhat keeps the magic alive. So totally
great. Also, I think there'sa logical fallacy in what you just said.
We do like racing in India becausewe're always working against the clock.

(05:23):
I love it. I was good, you know. I gotta say too,
you're talking about the US man.We love you guys over here.
I do so many festivals in theUS, and everyone recently i've been at
they're all talking about you guys.That's really good to her. But I
mean again, we said it earlier. To us has been one of the

(05:46):
greatest support based like from being ourpatrons to immediately snatching the tickets as soon
as they're out to merchandise. They'vedone it all, so we are always
excited to get here because we arealso waiting for, you know, to
showcase what we've done all the timeto the like for and to give it
back, you know, like welike again like we we got here.

(06:08):
I mean, they play such arole in like such a big role in
getting us where we are today.Yeah, from the start, because this
isn't this precedes my time with theband, like you know, where the
guys are just building it up fromthe ground, like the US was representing
hard, like sharing the videos,like making sure the world got out.
So it's great to see that it'sstill strong and it's still like you know,
they sit out there amplifying. Solike Jen said, like we're looking

(06:29):
we look forward to these two usto give back and just be like thank
you and put it all on thestage for them and so cool and you
guys are so gracious. But what'scool about it is so like there's a
lot of bands I've liked most ofmy life that I thought weren't even bands
anymore, and they're still playing inEurope and UK. They didn't leave,
they just left here. So it'salways cool they hear the other way around
that like bands like you guys areso well received here and taking such good

(06:56):
care of and like, you know, it's almost like you're bigger here than
your home country sometimes, and that'sthat's a pretty cool feeling, because it's
easier to be bigger in your homecountry because people know you it's home.
But to come all the way overhere and then people are like like they're
your best friends. I mean,well, feeling that's gonna be for you

(07:16):
guys. Huh. Well, thething about India is that it's an amalgamation
of a lot of states. Soyou know, even if we have a
lot of support in New Delhi,a lot of it, the other states
are catching up. But you know, for India as a whole, to
support one band in particular, that'skind of difficult because every territory has their
own, you know, favorite bands. So I'd say it's definitely a blessing

(07:40):
that we, you know, wehave a lot of support throughout the world,
be America, you know, Europe, you know, UK, Latin
America, even Japan, Australia do. But I think it's one of the
things that a metal band needs tosurvive to be you know, known everywhere,
just in their home. And youknow what, you brought a good

(08:01):
point up that I didn't think about, because you know, India's a big
country. We're a big country,and you know, we have states and
a lot of things are different fromstate to stay. But unlike what you
just describe here, if a band'sbig, they're big in every state,
you know, So that's interesting tofind out that that's not the case necessarily
in India. You know, yeah, I know that. The thing is

(08:22):
also the current said it's like,apart from everyone having their own taste recently
speaking, it's also about metal asa genre. Like you know, India
is dominated by commercial music that catersto like the movie industry. Yeah,
and the thing is so people dobranch out and all that, but at
the same time, it's not biglike you know, for it's growing,
which is great to see. Likeevery gig we're seeing that like both like

(08:43):
you know, like the people thatvenues are telling us we've never seen these
faces and metal gigs, so inthat sense, but also young kids coming
up and saying, guys like,we were so inspired and we want to
do our own thing, and we'relike fuck yeah, man, go out
there. And kill it because weneed nice seen and make it bigger,
and it is happening consistently. Sothe thing I'd say like that that's the
main difference is that metal is biggerin the US and around the world than

(09:05):
it is in India. So whatwe're trying to do right now is like
we always had this feeling, man, like, you know, we knew
that we'd have to be big aroundthe world before we'd be big in India.
And it's just a testament to themagic of the internet. You know,
you're up there and like you're connectedto people around the world, and
that's the beauty of it. That'show this band has come as far as
it has so Yeah, and nowwe were actually fortunate enough to play at

(09:28):
home, like the call did come. They're like, hey, listen,
we got to know who you guysare. Oh well, that's cool.
All the major festivals in India andit was as great as coming full circle.
That's so wild right there, Likethat's a cool feeling because you know,
it's like it's almost like you didn'tthink that would happen, and all
of a sudden you're getting notice becauseof playing elsewhere. That's wild. Actually,

(09:52):
the differences though, and we allknew it without actually saying it to
each other. We were like,it's going to happen that way because India
would take notice if we were knownfrom around the world, like they would
want to like be like, howare these guys know? They don't want
to be left out right, Yeah, but that's how metal works at least
in India because the scene is verysmall. We've got a lot of population

(10:13):
one point four billion, but theymight be like thirty thousand metal heads in
time. So the scene is generallylike this when you go to a show,
there's no big or small band technicallybecause everyone knows everyone. Yeah.
So I mean at this point,especially with our shows, like Raoul added
like they were, even the promotersare like who are these kids who are
showing up to the two shows?So the scene is getting bigger in that

(10:37):
sense. And that's how I thinkbecause we got recognized outside even the scene
was like who are these guys?We have to know them now probably even
though like the friends side of itknew about it. But it's now growing
too, I'd say, a biggermarket and with just like I mean,
there are people who say we don'tlisten to metal, but we listen to
Bloody Woods, So I mean,I love it. That's the biggest compliment

(10:58):
ever right there. You remember theguy who met us in the smoking room.
I think that's a good story inBangalore. Go ahead, you know,
yeah, yeah, no, no, But like there was just,
like Jen said, us being exposedto like a new audience, but it's
also the general audience that would listento commercial music, like he said,
people who wouldn't necessarily listen to metal, but would listen to us. Like

(11:20):
we had moments and that a guycame up to us in the smoking room
at the Bangalore airport and was likeyo, like and he was like in
his fifties, like a dad andseven He's like I was there with my
son, and we just like walkedup and saw like because this year,
you guys slamming from like like halfwayacross the festival. So we walked up
to this see it, and we'reinstantly like checking out your YouTube and everything
and like how the fuck do wenot know about these guys? So these

(11:41):
moments are happening more and more consistentlyright now, where even people who don't
listen to metal in India are listeningto us, So it's a good feeling.
Yeah, I you know. Justto add to that, I'd say
that a very interesting thing that I'mnoticing this time around is we're getting a
lot of messages and emails about howour shows shouldn't be just eighteen plus because

(12:03):
a lot of kids want to,you know, come to our shows,
which is, you know, again, we're very lucky that our music speaks
to you know, very young,very very young people, and also people
in their fifties and sixties who areyoung by heart. Though, So one
thing I forgot to add in this. Even in the US, there are
people who would be like, oh, we were there at your last show.

(12:24):
I bought these two sisters last time. They love you. Now we've
got four more people who nice thefirst time. And in La there was
this group of friends. One guyI used to listen to us. He
bought like eight guys. Remember theguy. He brought his whole band actually
to come and listen to us.Like their kids asking their parents to come
with them because they need a legalguardian, or like you know, someone
who's off age who are walking outtoo man like it's it's good, it's

(12:48):
happening nice. Well, I loveit. I love that you're getting people
converted to metal, you know,because that I come from a time where
the metal community was as small asit is in India now here, you
know. And and so that's howwe grow this family, because we are
a family. We're all a family. And I will tell you too.

(13:09):
My photographer who's out there right now, she's probably bummed she's not here because
she said to me today, nomatter what, I have to go to
Blaywood Set. And you, guys, I think we're playing at the same
time as Vended. I think.I can't. I can't remember there was

(13:30):
some band that was playing the sametime as you. And she's like she
wanted to see both bands, butshe was picking you guys a period.
Nice so choice. Thanks for beinghere at Welcome to Rockville, and thanks
