were also.

bad Korea.

Speaker 3 (07:56):
Well, you know, let's not categorize the individual players.

Speaker 1 (08:01):
So how did North Korea get out? I didn't think
they could get out?

Speaker 3 (08:03):
Well, I think everyone likes to celebrate their sports heroes.

Speaker 1 (08:06):
Are you sure that was here? Yeah? I know you
get more chances of getting out of Iran than North Korea?
Would you agree?

Speaker 3 (08:13):
And I have to ask the North Korea.

would be your teammate.

Speaker 3 (08:47):
They don't even have a Kardashian.

Speaker 7 (08:49):
You know.

Speaker 1 (08:49):
Actually, maybe North Korea is not so bad.

Speaker 3 (08:51):
I don't see married at first sight.

Speaker 4 (08:53):
Maybe let's all move Andy, let's go back to you.
You've won the jam pack of five hundred dollars that

where fun checks in a bottom checks out search Hijink's Hotel.

Speaker 1 (09:04):
Andy, thank you, Thank.

Speaker 8 (09:06):
You guys, fantastic, Well coming up.

Speaker 3 (09:10):
Paul McCartney has recently spilt some tea on a phone
call he had with Yoko Ono about you know who.

Speaker 2 (09:19):
Okay, John Lennon, I'm intrigued if she should be here
every second of Jonesy and Demander on demand. Search for
us now on the iHeart app.

Speaker 3 (09:28):
I like your thoughts. On this Brendan because I know
recently you read it took about a year to read.
It was the Ward's thickest book on the Beatles.

Speaker 4 (09:37):
The Beatles was a forensic account of the Beatles, going
way back to even the parents of the Beatles, before
the quarrymen, before any of that.

Speaker 1 (09:48):
How they all got and they're all game meats.

Speaker 4 (09:50):
It was just it was it was so forensic, but
at the same time, you know, there was all these
little bits that could have changed the whole music history.

Speaker 3 (09:58):
It's a great thing to read the stories of peace
who go on to be perhaps the most famous people
in the world. To read the beginnings, you think, little
did they know that everyone in the world would know
their name.

Speaker 4 (10:06):
And Ringo Sta, for example, it was looking like he
wouldn't even get past twenty.

Speaker 1 (10:10):
You know when he was he almost he was in
hot he was twelve. You know he died. Now look
at him, he's like a thousand years old. He's dead.
He doesn't even know it.

Speaker 3 (10:17):
He looks better than most people age.

Speaker 1 (10:21):
Still on the kid.

Speaker 3 (10:21):
Well, what do you think of this story. Paul McCartney
has recently said that he took a phone call from
Yoko Ono not long after the tragic death of John Lennon,
and she thought quote that he might have been gay.
This is what Paul McCartney said. I swear she rang
me shortly after John died and said, you know, I

(10:42):
think John may have been gay. Paul McCartney himself said
he's known Lenin since the age of sixteen and became
a man with him and he didn't think. So what
happened to all this book?

Speaker 4 (10:53):
It speaks about the relationship between John Lennon and Paul
McCartney and they said they're almost like a couple.

Speaker 3 (11:00):
Yeh, that's different.

Speaker 4 (11:02):
When Paul Muscartney was sixteen, John Lennon was nineteen, George
Harrison was fourteen, and John Lennon was this art student
and the other.

Speaker 3 (11:10):
Guys were in answer the question counselor and.

Speaker 1 (11:12):
Peter Sutcliffe the drammer, he was the Pete best? Which
one was it? Ye, Pete's best.

Speaker 3 (11:17):
But that's not answering my question. Did you get a
sense of this in the book?

Speaker 1 (11:21):
Stuart Sutcliffe? Sorry, yeah, I got gay. You can't handle
the gay? Are you possible? I can?

Speaker 3 (11:31):
I'm just interested.

Speaker 1 (11:32):
I don't know. I who was gay probably helped him out.
Probably helped them out when they were busy.

Speaker 3 (11:36):
But in those days, they're all taking a lot of drugs.
They were all experimenting, they were all trying to break
out of their suburban lives. And if you're one of
the most famous people in the world, why wouldn't you
try a bit of everything? And I wonder if John
Lennon is looking down from wherever from heaven and going
shut up, Yoko. It was once.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
You have that off with a bloke once and look
your wife.

Speaker 3 (12:03):
Tells Paul McCartney and when they're in the eighties they
blab to the.

Speaker 1 (12:07):
World, imagine coming up.

Speaker 4 (12:09):
I like Thursday because not only is a Pie Day
radio station, but Double a Chattery drops today.

Speaker 3 (12:15):
It's a charming one Today. I'll tell you why.

Speaker 4 (12:18):
Next jam Gold it's Josie Manner's Jam Nation driving you home.
Thursday is a great day because it's Friday Junior. And
also Double a Chattery, the podcast you do with your friend,
forensic psychologist Anita McGregor drops on this day.

Speaker 3 (12:33):
And this is a story we've got on today's episode,
this week's episode that Anita saw in Canadian Canadian press.
It's about a guy called Marcus Pollard. Who's a music
promoter and he goes around to old record stores and
things like that. He's just a thrift shock kind of
a guy. And he found an old acetate and an
acetate this is from the sixties, no record, but it's

(12:54):
not even a pressed record. It's what the bands would
record their stuff on before, and so they take that
I'm listened to it, or that would remain there so
that someone from the record industry could listen to it.
It was never released, it's not a proper record.

Speaker 4 (13:08):
And then they put the plastic the vinyl onto it
if it becomes successful.

Speaker 3 (13:11):
Yeah, So he found one from the nineteen sixties of
I guess it's their version of a garage band. He
didn't know who the band was, didn't know any information
about it, but he really liked the sounds like the Doors.

Speaker 1 (13:34):
Yeah, it's a lot of it's like the Knack, not
the Knack, what the Kinks, it's all those.

Speaker 3 (13:40):
This mother's stuff here. So it's a classic kind of
psychedelic kind of year after in the sixties. So he
put it out there to try and find who these
people were, and he found that they are a band
called the Glass Cage. They broke up pretty much the
night after that happened. There are a bunch of eighteen

(14:00):
year olds who recorded that on one microphone in an
ice rink where the owner said, yeah, he sold sewing
machines and recording equipment and he let them record it.

Speaker 1 (14:09):
There an ice rink.

Speaker 6 (14:10):
Yeah, weird.

Speaker 3 (14:11):
So there's sewing machine and a record place with equipment.
Place was underneath ice rink on top. They said, you
can use the space.

Speaker 1 (14:18):
Why have the ice rink on top?

Speaker 3 (14:19):
Well, Brendan, they're not questions for me to ask.

Speaker 1 (14:21):
I just you know, it's just physics.

Speaker 3 (14:23):
Anyway, he went about trying to find who these guys
might be. They've been their eighties now, and he found them.
And that's what's so extraordinary about the story. He found them.
It's not about reuniting the band because he didn't want
to do that and he didn't want pressure them into
it and they didn't want it. A couple of members
it passed away, but he reunited them and he released

(14:43):
for the first time ever the music So the Glass
Cage just this week has released. He's released this music
of the Glass Cage, and it's lovely hearing him talk
about why this story has been so important for on
the night that they did the big launch, he said
that he looked over at all the band members and
they were there with their kids and their grandchildren, who

(15:05):
would have had no idea of this rich history of
these guys, none of whom went on to be musicians.

Speaker 11 (15:11):
That guy was the forklift operator, that guy was the
bus driver, that guy on the furniture store, that guy
was a welder, that guy was an explosive expert. And
I thought, so, you know, when you're seeing those old
guys who were in this scenario or in you know,
having these jobs, let's just say that they are identified
by their jobs, understand that it is entirely possible that

(15:34):
that person was so much more of a badass than
you have never even dreamed of being.

Speaker 3 (15:39):
He said, he loved how the grandchildren were looking up
at their grandfathers, going, well, what a story you've got there.
And this story has really taken off in the Canadian
press and all over the place. And when I said
why do you think this has charmed so many people,
he said, well, look out the window, look how hard
the world is at the moment. This is just a
delightful good news story. And this is another reason as

(16:01):
to why he thinks people are responding to it.

Speaker 11 (16:03):
I think that people are responding because maybe people have
something that they did in their past that they thought
was really cool and that somebody dismissed or everybody dismissed,
and so this is kind of like the comeback story.

Speaker 3 (16:16):
Yeah, comeback story.

Speaker 1 (16:17):
We've all done stuff in our past that well, we're
ashamed of.

Speaker 3 (16:22):
Not that, well, that's the opposite of that. This is
the stuff so that you think, hey, I gave it
a crack, and that's he could take someone's I'll give
it a go. And he's now released that record and
the press have been onto it. It's been a fabulous story.

Speaker 1 (16:35):
I tell you, folks, it's harder than a lord.

Speaker 3 (16:37):
Well that's the podcast you can listen to double a
Chattery dot com riever you get your podcasts.

Speaker 1 (16:42):
Do yourself a favor.

Speaker 4 (16:44):
You know what, That's something we could talk about because
I was in a grudge bad we've thought of that.

Speaker 3 (16:48):
Well, are going to talk about that next? You not
so long ago? Unearthed a cassette play a cassette, what
do you call it? Just a cassette? A cassette, A
cassette like a single, you're it, but the single of
some of these songs that you recorded. We delve into
that too.

Speaker 1 (17:06):
If you want to. That's covering up on gold.

Speaker 2 (17:09):
You're listening to the Jonesy and Demanda podcast.

Speaker 5 (17:14):
Now a by the miracle of recording and Amanda don't
be an Amanda. Those are two great names.

Speaker 1 (17:20):
I'm not a scatter. That's the chemistry between them.

Speaker 3 (17:22):
But how much of let's relind your own business and
shut your pie.

Speaker 8 (17:25):
I wish you were with your.

Speaker 1 (17:26):

right now. Good on your fellows and ladies and everyone

(17:50):
whoever you may. Now this time Ryan get into it.

Speaker 3 (17:54):
This show is not in responsible hands anymore. We're talking
just before the news of the podcast do with Anita
McGregor called Double a Chattery, which is out today, and
we're talking about We spoke to a guy Canadian who
was unearthed an ascetate from the nineteen sixties and he's
just released it as a record. He's found the old
band members from the band The Glass Cage. They're now

(18:15):
in their eighties. They haven't played together, they haven't seen
each other, presumably for all those years in between. Sounds
a bit like this, Yeah, it's at your art. So
they used to call them okay, thank him? Did they
used to call them garage bands?

Speaker 7 (18:35):
Did?

Speaker 3 (18:36):
Did they even have garages?

Speaker 4 (18:37):
Then at that point when the Beatles came out, there's
a great story about Mick Jagger saying they thought they
were the only ones that were doing it, and then
all of a sudden they heard the Beatles and they went, oh,
we're done.

Speaker 1 (18:49):
So those guys just came along too late. It's like
rap artists.

Speaker 4 (18:52):
You know, when the first rap artists came out, everyone Oh,
this is amazing. Nows go yeah me, it's like anything.
They just became. Those poor guys came up with that first.
They would have been superstars.

Speaker 3 (19:03):
But as we all know, it's not even about that.
So much goes into becoming a famous band. It's not
just being good musically. I don't know whether that's good
music or not, but it's of its era. But you
have to be the right personality types of those guys
were eighteen broke up like two days after and it's
a lot that goes into it, which made me think
of your garage band. Well play a bit of it next.

(19:24):
You on earth to cassette that you recorded when you
were a teenager. How many years ago was that?

Speaker 1 (19:29):
Nineteen eighty six?

Speaker 3 (19:32):
So I can't do the maths on that, but you
know a number of years of a.

Speaker 4 (19:35):
Lad another King Brown, Amanda, let's cack one open.

Speaker 3 (19:41):
We're going to hear from your band Bad Element.

Speaker 4 (19:44):
Yes, that's come out after this established musician.

Speaker 1 (19:50):

John Gold, jamsis Gold. That's Jonesy demand of driving you
for jam nation with the curves.

Speaker 3 (20:04):
So let's talk about Bad Element. We were talking before
about the Glass Cage, a band from the nineteen sixties.
Their acetate acetone acetate, same thing as it. Their acetate
recording has just been released after all these years. Someone
found it in a secondhand kind of record place and
has decided it's worth releasing. Let's talk about your unearthing

(20:28):
when only just last year you found an old cassette
of your garage band Bad Element. Tell us a bit
about bad Element.

Speaker 4 (20:34):
So bad Element was made up with my mate Omo's
still your mate.

Speaker 1 (20:37):
Steal my mate Biz is still my mate.

Speaker 4 (20:40):
Biz was fit a returner Omo outboard motor mechanic, marine mechanic.

Speaker 3 (20:45):
And what's that Brendan Jones up to?

Speaker 1 (20:47):
He was at the time in between a few jobs
between concreting in the sewers and not the sewer's canal
a DJ on weekends. And how old were you nineteen?

Speaker 3 (20:57):
And who's garage?

Speaker 1 (20:59):
What was the set up?

Speaker 6 (21:00):
We go to.

Speaker 4 (21:00):
IMO's mum's garage or my house or business house and
we just practiced and we just because we're.

Speaker 1 (21:07):
Into the at the time.

Speaker 3 (21:08):
And what were you into?

Speaker 1 (21:09):
Well, noise Works had just started. That was a big deal.

Speaker 4 (21:12):
We love the Angels like we worshiped at the table
of the Angels. The Angels was the band we wanted
to be. The choir Boys came out, We'd run to
Paradise and Imo was right into the choir Boys. I'm
a big fan of the choir Boys, but I wasn't.
I was more Angels. You were radiators, and.

Speaker 3 (21:28):
Yeah, she was more of an influencer. We do what instruments?
Will you tell us about the instruments, the drums, and
what the others play.

Speaker 1 (21:36):
They had a drum, one.

Speaker 4 (21:38):
Drum, No, I had a drum, kids drum beers was
on the basso, was on guitars.

Speaker 3 (21:42):
Who wrote the songs and did the vocals?

Speaker 1 (21:45):
I wrote the songs that he did the vocals. I
did vocals as well.

Speaker 4 (21:49):
And we got the name Bad Element because one night
we were rehearsing at a recording studio called Take five
Studios and John Swan you know swannye temporary hard Swatty,
he was down there one day and we're all standing
outside his e bo. Boys, what's the name of your outfit?
And as a Bad Element, A guess, well, it's like
something on your stove that doesn't work. And that's when

(22:12):
we became.

Speaker 3 (22:13):
So you hadn't intended that that's what it meant.

Speaker 1 (22:15):
No, we thought bad Element, like we're bad asses, but no,
not a broken white good. But it's a big deal.

Speaker 4 (22:26):
You know, you have hopes and dreams out because we
just wanted to play in the pub. We wanted to
play in a pub, and that was it. That would
be good enough to play in the pub.

Speaker 3 (22:36):
So you found this old cassette and there's three songs
on it.

Speaker 1 (22:40):
No, there was, it was an EP. There were I
believe there was five.

Speaker 3 (22:43):
Songs on the r Why don't you talk us through.

Speaker 6 (22:45):
What we've got?

Speaker 4 (22:46):
Okay, we've got well, okay, should we go with me
on vocals playing the drums at the same time.

Speaker 3 (22:54):
That's hard, just asked Karen Carpon.

Speaker 1 (22:56):
You talked to Dave Grohl, you know, or Karen Carpenter.
Karen Carpenter was a very good drama.

Speaker 4 (23:02):
She was.

Speaker 3 (23:02):
That's what I mean.

Speaker 4 (23:04):
Dave Groh when he left Nirvana to go to the
Food Fighters. That's why he doesn't play the drums anymore.
He's got other things to do, like father children.

Speaker 3 (23:11):
But Bill Colin, your long neck, keep off.

Speaker 1 (23:17):
My king Brown. So this is no lie. You tell
what to do, No that you tell her be where
to be? No la, I've got it. It's hard to
do this. That's very day.

Speaker 3 (23:34):
So you're saying, don't lie to me.

Speaker 1 (23:36):
I don't know. I don't know.

Speaker 4 (23:39):
My mum say at the time, there's so much distortion,
And I said, well, that's that's that's his voice.

Speaker 1 (23:44):
That's the point. The guitar. There were another songs in there.

Speaker 4 (23:47):
There was too Young, Too Pretty Young.

Speaker 7 (23:51):
Pretty.

Speaker 3 (23:55):
Who was too young?

Speaker 1 (23:56):
Andrea or I can't remember? There was forgetfuls that's I know.
I'm back up.

Speaker 3 (24:13):
Why you.

Speaker 7 (24:20):
No?

Speaker 3 (24:28):
Her name is just the same as in your dreams.
This is all caught your fourth form teacher. Well, there
we have it. That's a bad element. Let's do this.
The tribal drum is going to beat four garage band?
Were you in a garage band? Did you end up
being famous? Did you were you in a garage band
with someone who wanted to be famous? Did you break
up that night? What we want the goss spill the

(24:50):
tea on your garage band?

Speaker 1 (24:52):
Wow?

Speaker 3 (24:56):
A place where you don't make friends?

Speaker 1 (24:58):
No friends?

Speaker 7 (24:59):
That's me.

Speaker 1 (24:59):
I'm backup. Thirteen fifty five twenty two is our number.
Why don't you.

Speaker 2 (25:04):
Give us a call on gold Jonesy and Amanda listen
to the podcast whenever you want with the free Iheartapping.

Speaker 4 (25:10):
You know, when you think about a garage band, it's
not necessarily you want to be famous. Of course, everyone
dreams of being famous. But when you get together and
you're all playing as a unit. I read a book
about Keith Richard is his book Keith Life, and he
said there's a bit when it's just all working everything,
the drums, the guitar, the bass, the singer, and that's

(25:33):
what you want.

Speaker 1 (25:33):
And there are moments when you're playing in a band
and it just works.

Speaker 3 (25:37):
Why is this domain of men the women? Because you said,
you guys do that and you have these dreams. Is
it that when women sort of girls get together and
mime to TLC or something or the spice skirls and
picture themselves being on stage being that they're not creating
the music necessarily, they're miming and dancing to the music,
which is why TikTok is everyone a moment of that,

(25:59):
But it was TikTok is your moment of fame?

Speaker 12 (26:01):
Now.

Speaker 4 (26:01):
I was at a Radiators gig and I know those
guys very well and I've known him for a long time.

Speaker 3 (26:05):
Yeah, that's named after a white good pretty much that's.

Speaker 4 (26:08):
Opposed to bad Element, but they are as opposed to
bad element are successful. And I was just talking to Brian,
the lead singer, and he just said, ah, you know
it's and I said, don't talk this gig down like
he wasn't talking it down, but he was being really
self deprecating.

Speaker 1 (26:22):
I said, you guys are part of the Australian culture.
You guys have done. You guys a hero.

Speaker 4 (26:29):
They've lived the dream and you will see the radiators
playing wherever you'll see it, and those guys they're singing
like they're playing at the entertainment center.

Speaker 1 (26:37):
And that's what it's about that.

Speaker 3 (26:38):
It's not all about that, because you can have a
moment of just pure joy with your mates in your
garage and that's enough. That's what that guy the glass
cage was saying. You didn't want to reunite these guys
as eighty year olds and make them do anything. He
wanted them to know. Hey, I found your I found this.
I've made a record for you of your early work.
You were great to live in your moment and maybe

(27:00):
that's enough.

Speaker 4 (27:01):
And that's what we're talking about. You know, your aspirations
and just to play at the local pub.

Speaker 3 (27:06):
What was your band's name or your aspirations? Who did
you impress? It might have been you might have had one.

Speaker 1 (27:10):
Day only did you get any action out of it?

Speaker 7 (27:13):
Did you?

Speaker 3 (27:13):
Brendan no Olmo's mum show now, well you hesitated. She's
the only female who's been mentioned in any of the
stories you've told about the band. Who was when you
when I said, did you get any action from it?
And you stopped to think who was it?

Speaker 1 (27:33):
There was not, you know, there was not none. The
tribal dramas be tales of the garage band.

Speaker 3 (27:47):
Marcus Choint, Hello, Mark, tell us about your garage band.

Speaker 7 (27:53):
I was in the band back in the eighties, around
the same time as Jonesy. I actually worked in a
little recording studio at Rocky Point, wrote Cobra. I wonder
if Joji knows it down undersound studios.

Speaker 1 (28:06):
Yes, I do.

Speaker 6 (28:06):
Yes.

Speaker 7 (28:08):
And you remember somebody putting up an ad amateur vocals
looking for amateur band.

Speaker 3 (28:14):
Why did you answer that ad?

Speaker 11 (28:16):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (28:17):
I was the guy working there, remember me, Jones?

Speaker 4 (28:19):
Oh, this is Matt right, Okay, this is okay. This
is after bad Elements sort of split up. Yes, I
came along as the lead singer. You actually could sing.

Speaker 7 (28:31):
Yeah, I remember that song my Mama, Oh my moments
agreed my momacy, to whom every provin the little boys
would come on home.

Speaker 8 (28:41):
I do.

Speaker 1 (28:44):
About mom Mark, I do. And did you go on
to do anything? Because I know what happened.

Speaker 4 (28:50):
I went back down the snow to work as a DJ,
and Mark did you and you guys, you guys actually
got a gig one.

Speaker 7 (28:57):
I was in one of them, yeah, and we sort
of all split up and I'm actually working TV broadcast. Coincidentally,
you're in radio on me TV.

Speaker 3 (29:06):
You This isn't Mark Knofler?

Speaker 1 (29:07):
Is it cheap? Mark? Thank you? What have you caused?

Speaker 3 (29:11):
Tales of the garage band?

Speaker 1 (29:12):
What have you got? We're very narrow casting today's Generation gold.

Speaker 4 (29:17):
It's Jonesy demanded driving you home? You know, I tell you, folks,
it's harder than it looks. Bond Scott said the right
thing when he sung in It's a long way to
the top if you want to rock and roll. And
even if you're in a band, you could be Berna
Fanning in powder Finger. I remember talking to him back
in the nineties when powder Finger were on their way.
I said, mate, you're on your way. You're really doing

(29:38):
is it?

Speaker 1 (29:39):
Am?

Speaker 8 (29:39):
I like?

Speaker 7 (29:40):
Is it like?

Speaker 1 (29:41):
We're not making money? We're not doing this is back
in when obviously Number five came out.

Speaker 3 (29:45):
But the nature of a garage band is it's not
always about success. Sometimes it's about you're doing it because
you just want to have great times with your mates,
and that might be the best time of your life.
It doesn't mean that you have to go on to
a career in music. A garage band is all those
of its.

Speaker 1 (30:00):
It's your hopes and dreams. It's all about youth.

Speaker 4 (30:03):
And you know when you see those guys like my
age and they get together and they have a band,
you might see them playing around. You know, Damian Keyo,
he's you got a band. His former basketball, he's a
corporate guy. He has run and he just loves playing
his band.

Speaker 3 (30:16):
Course, and that's what you do. That's like guys that
get around and kick a footy.

Speaker 1 (30:20):
Yeah thing, and that's what we're talking about.

Speaker 3 (30:23):
It's a little quieter and I appreciate it.

Speaker 1 (30:25):
The travel drum is beating four garage band Mitch has
joined us. Hello Mitch, Oh, James and Amanda, how am
I'm good? Tell us about you playing a band together before?

Speaker 9 (30:40):
Did we look?

Speaker 8 (30:42):
I was a drummer as well, not a good one,
but I was the drummer, so joined the musical ability.
I was about fifteen and I was really keen on
a girl and she was into the arts and she
went and watched all the bands and everything. So I
told her I was in a band. When I wasn't
and she said maybe and watch his practice and I went, yeah, yeah,

(31:02):
no worries. So I sort of said, oh, one of
the guys is the way. When he comes back, I'll
invite you. So I scrambled around. I had two mates
that played guitar, but we had no drummer, not singer.
So I called my mum into buying as a set
of drums from the second hand shop.

Speaker 9 (31:18):
And started the practice as much as we could, and
she came and watched. We actually got okay. We played
at the year twelve formal in the end. It took
us a couple of years, but she came to watch
and it was it was a bit nasty. And they
said to me, well, you've got my musical ability, you
could be the drummer.

Speaker 3 (31:36):
Harsh mitch. And did the girl who you impressed it
had end up you impressing her was one thing. Did
you end up going out or kissing her or anything?

Speaker 8 (31:45):
No, you know what. She ended up going with one
of the jocks.

Speaker 1 (31:47):
And it was all in vain.

Speaker 8 (31:49):
It was all in vain. But your.

Speaker 1 (31:53):
H you were a drum kit that is mother of
the center.

Speaker 5 (31:56):
That's right.

Speaker 8 (31:57):
Yeah, she regretted it in the end because it was
pretty noisy.

Speaker 1 (32:01):
Yeah, it just just established that. Now, thank you, Mitch.
Good on you mate. Barry has joined us as well.

Speaker 3 (32:09):
Barry tell us about your.

Speaker 5 (32:10):
Garage band, get Hey guys. Back in two thousand and four,
Made of Mine and I decided to record an album
on the cheap, and we had nowhere to play exit
people's backyards and in Marrackle, we decided to do it
a six by four stage about a meter and a
half off the ground. We took the hills hoist off
the actual backyard. About one hundred people. One hundred people

(32:32):
turned up and we blew up a two hour set
supporting our little album that we did, our concert album
on mental health and about this asylum and mental patient
stuff like that. And we had people all turn up
and you could hear the music from about five hundred
meters away, and it was quite loud and a lot
of fun. And then the next minute I just sent

(32:54):
my CD out to whoever would listen to it or
want it, and the next minute it's playing on Texas Radio.
Track by track they did a whole rundown of the
album and well, nobody's We actually didn't even play in
pubs just in the backyard, Texas radio in two thousand
and Yeah. Her name was Ruby Tuesday, and she interviewed
us and did a track by track the whole album,

(33:16):
and she gave it like five stars and she loved
our album. And I didn't realize and we didn't know
what to do with it. We didn't know any managers,
we didn't know anyone in the music industry. We just
recorded this is just a fun album about mental health,
and so it's like an AC DC Metallica vibe kind
of thing. And the album Never then we put in
a couple of local records stores where people were buying

(33:38):
it obviously, and we got some cash money out of it.
And then we went out of our thousand copies and
never to be that's it. And then about a couple
of months back, we noticed someone put it on YouTube.
So what was the band called Emotional Asylum Project.

Speaker 4 (33:56):
Yes, I'm just getting Ryan on the Casey just type
in Emotional assign on YouTube.

Speaker 1 (34:00):
This is the beauty YouTube. I love it so and
so you released this album.

Speaker 3 (34:04):
Yeah, two hours of material. That's incredible and you've got it.

Speaker 5 (34:08):
Yeah, Well, the album goes about thirty odd minutes. Your
quick album ten songs, but we played covered as well,
and but the album was what. A lot of the
people turned up to watch us playing backyards. And then
I think Greek in Greece, one of the guys from
Greek Rock Pages, he loved our album, our stuff on
their website, and we thought, what do we do now

(34:29):
when nobody's weren't even have a deal or nothing, And
we just kept playing backyards. And then we got married,
had children and.

Speaker 6 (34:37):
And yeah, I've got it.

Speaker 7 (34:41):
Here we go.

Speaker 1 (34:41):
We've got emotional asylum. Here we go forget Texas.

Speaker 4 (34:45):
This is going around Australia now, emotional silence, please question forever?

Speaker 1 (34:52):
Are inevitable? What I like to It's metallic and meets Megadai.
Barry congrat.

Speaker 5 (35:10):
Listen to listen to I'd suffer from insanity.

Speaker 8 (35:13):
I enjoy it.

Speaker 5 (35:14):
That's a killer track.

Speaker 1 (35:15):
Okay, Oh wow, thank you, Barry, thank you. That's a
big deal. I still do You're not doing anything anything
now though, No, we.

Speaker 8 (35:24):
Just we still.

Speaker 5 (35:25):
We've only got about forty copies of the album left and.

Speaker 3 (35:27):
We just do yourself a great memory of the time.
Thank you, Barry gem Gold.

Speaker 1 (35:34):
It's Jonesy Demanda driving you home. Barnesy. He spends his
time in the garage.

Speaker 4 (35:39):
There and someone's mom would have said Elizabeth down South Australia.
And then you know he was in a band called
Orange and that band went on to become Well Cold
Chisel do were you looking at me with this dumbfounded face?

Speaker 3 (35:54):
Everyone knows?

Speaker 1 (35:56):
Okay, Sorry, Johnny Dumbo. Really I didn't know that. Anyway,
we're talking about garage bands. You've never been in a
garage band.

Speaker 3 (36:04):
It's by and large as the domain of men. I
think men do that and they like to have that's
the men's power group. Women do with that power group separately.

Speaker 1 (36:13):
And this stems from a chat that you have with
Anita on your podcast Double a Chattery.

Speaker 3 (36:18):
Yeah, about a group from the nineteen sixties who recorded
an Acetate that someone found not so long ago and
released it as an owl as a as an album
and he's found all the band members the one well,
there's two that aren't alive anymore than men in their
eighties and just the joy of who they used to
be in that moment in amber.

Speaker 1 (36:36):
They're pretty good the glass Cage, I tell you though,
they're no bad there's no bad element that chases that.
I didn't want to be Hey, I know that I've
gotta three No harder singing drum, No that Dave Groll, No.

Speaker 3 (37:04):
Tales of the garage band mass Yikes. Hello Matthew, how
are you?

Speaker 5 (37:11):
I'm good, thank you?

Speaker 10 (37:11):
How are you very well?

Speaker 3 (37:12):
Tell us about your garage band?

Speaker 10 (37:14):
Well, it was actually my father and law was I
want to hear the lead singer of a band that
ended up being called the forty What Banana the band
back in New Zealand. And the interesting thing was they
had a HMV hit in Ireland with a song called Nirvana,
which is a very psychedelic song, and on the flip

(37:35):
side of that was a James Taylor and Fire and
Rain done but with an upbeat. You listen to the two,
they do not make any correlation between the two of
each other. But initially enough for my children, the grandchildren,
and my father was eighty. Now the company in Spain

(37:57):
picked up the album and re released it into their
ninety and it's quite big in Spain, so they were
all as old men. They're all very proud of their records,
so it's pretty cool.

Speaker 1 (38:08):
So why do you think the we're talking about it?

Speaker 4 (38:11):
Do you find forty What banana forty what Banana? So
why do you think the Spaniards picked up on forty
What Banana?

Speaker 10 (38:17):
I've asked the same question, but it was to do
with think it was a Faraay record or something picked
it up, and but then when they released it, it
was Spain that's picked it up. It's a very psychedelic.
The guy who's on there, one of the gods, is
a sitar player, I believe, touring with Stevie Nix and
so forth back in the day. But yeah, it's it's
a very trippy song and.

Speaker 1 (38:37):
We're looking at the picture.

Speaker 3 (38:38):
They love that album covers quite extremely look like a.

Speaker 1 (38:40):
Bunch of geography teachers in skivvies and that is huge.

Speaker 3 (38:45):
But also the big thick glasses they've really got.

Speaker 10 (38:47):
The Which one is your father in law Matthew singing
with the glasses on to the side.

Speaker 4 (38:52):
So he's a sick on the right hand him and
he's got a bongo in his hands. Okay, okay, let's
have listen screens. They're big in Spain and they bigger
in Australia.

Speaker 1 (39:03):
Let's have a listen.

Speaker 6 (39:12):

Speaker 3 (39:25):
It was quite indian Ish.

Speaker 1 (39:29):
I think it's a sit o.

Speaker 3 (39:32):
It's a baby sitar and the had gone mass Matthew,
how what ear are we talking about? Is that sixties?

Speaker 10 (39:41):
That was that was released in seventy one? The band
formed in sixty eight and they got the band named
forty What Banana because they're going they're from New Zealand
and they're going on to it like a bandstand show
in the late sixties. And the producer came in and said,
wats your band name? And they didn't have one, and
someone said, forty what Banana? My favel?

Speaker 7 (40:01):
How did that happen?

Speaker 10 (40:02):
I say, he goes there what I've been We're not
too sure.

Speaker 4 (40:07):
Matthew thinks that's great, thank you. I reckon, that's just great.
I'll say this, they're no bad element.

Speaker 1 (40:13):
I'll just say this, what to do?

Speaker 3 (40:17):
That hes a zero, It's got no appeal that.

Speaker 1 (40:24):
It's very hard to dram and sing. So you keep
saying named after a falsey White could so thank you
for thank you so much.

Studio, what did I say to Alum?

Speaker 3 (42:24):
Alum? Did I say? Alam?

Speaker 6 (42:25):
I've been thinking of my changing my name to Alam
at some point. Anyways, I'd like to see a pat
of the time, so I don't look foolish.

Speaker 3 (42:30):
Can you change it to Alam?

Speaker 6 (42:31):
Yeah? I could do this afternoon, Adam Dura.

Speaker 3 (42:34):
So, last time Adam was in our studio, you weren't
very impressed with the state of our microphones or our studio.
But hey, new studio.

Speaker 7 (42:42):
Who this?

Speaker 3 (42:42):
Look at this? Look look where we are. It's pretty cool.

Speaker 6 (42:44):
Now this is the view of the center. I can
see our hotel. What was my problem with the studio?

Speaker 4 (42:48):
You didn't like the microphone, and I appreciate that because
we're using these terrible, cheap microphones. But now we have
the Re twenty, the greatest microphone in the world.

Speaker 6 (42:57):
Oh you were the Ari twenty.

Speaker 1 (43:00):
I was gonna say microphone perf is me now, But I.

Speaker 6 (43:04):
Mean, of course I know the are twenty.

Speaker 4 (43:05):
You know, I look at how long when mister Jones
came out all those years ago, I was in this
business and I heard it, and I just knew it
was going to be a great song.

Speaker 3 (43:14):
Because your surname is Joan.

Speaker 4 (43:15):
There is that, but no, I just thought, and I
just listened to it over and over again. And there's
other songs in life when you hear them for the
first time and you say that thing's going to be around.

Speaker 1 (43:24):
Forever, it never dates. Do you do you appreciate that
more and more as time goes on?

Speaker 6 (43:29):
Do you go, Wow, that was a yeah, you nail it?
Sometimes that song was real. I thought that song was
great though. I thought round Here was going to be
a really big deal because I thought it was unlike
anything else.

Speaker 4 (43:39):
Yeah, and when you mentioned around Here, I always find
I love listening to that because it's got a nice
melancholy to it.

Speaker 1 (43:45):
You know, she only lasts when she's nervous, you know.
It just it just such a nice song.

Speaker 6 (43:51):
I'm a first class moper, Like I'm the top of
the line Mober when it comes to that, I've got
I've got a lot of experience. I can mope with
the best.

Speaker 3 (43:58):
One does that make you fun at home.

Speaker 6 (44:00):
Oh, I'm a joy to be around.

Speaker 9 (44:02):
You know.

Speaker 6 (44:02):
It's actually my band. They love my wife, and I
think it's because somehow, as a result of her, I'm
now more of whatever the word for not an asshole
is whatever, whatever that is. She's had a brilliant effect
on me. I have trouble finding the mope. If anything right,

(44:22):
I'm a good state.

Speaker 1 (44:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (44:24):
When you travel, now, do you bring things from home?
Is there a staple that you think, Well, I'm on
the road, I need to teddy bear or special knife
and fork?

Speaker 6 (44:34):
Are you that kind of a person when we're on
tour in America? Like I bring I have a bad back,
So there's certain pillows that are good, so I bring
them on the bus.

Speaker 3 (44:43):
You don't want to be seen walking through an airport
carrying a pillow.

Speaker 6 (44:45):
No, No, I don't think you ever want to be
seen leaving your house with a pillow. There's a lot
of judgment, like if you're just leaving your house for
any reason with a pillow.

Speaker 1 (44:53):
Stevie Nicks, she used to take a mattress with her.

Speaker 6 (44:56):
Did she Where did the mattress go on the bus?

Speaker 4 (45:00):
Yeah, that's that's the question. I would have asked Stevie,
and know I would love to ask her because mattresses,
I don't know, cumbersome, they are very cumbersome.

Speaker 6 (45:08):
But I mean, I guess if you just I imagine,
maybe she just put it in the back of the
bus and it was where she slept. Yeah, you wouldn't
take it to the hotel.

Speaker 1 (45:15):
Although I heard that she took it to the hotel,
so it was a whole thing.

Speaker 3 (45:18):
It's not a power trip.

Speaker 1 (45:19):
Maybe once again you'll have to haves Stevie.

Speaker 4 (45:22):
On another note, the last time we spoke to you,
we were talking about your impressive dreadlocks that you had
back in the nineties. And the last time we spoke
was when you cut it all off and you and
you went to someone's house and you dunked your hat
under the seat.

Speaker 6 (45:36):
I did that at a lot of houses. You just
I did that a lot of time. Well, you know,
it was such a refreshing feeling when you haven't, like
run your head underwater very much for thirty years. It's
just so nice, Like it was like the sensation that
was so pleasurable that I would like I'd be over
a friend's house having dinner and I would like pass
by the guest bathroom, and I would just like, it's.

Speaker 3 (45:58):
Almost worth the drid's back, so get rid of them
again to read discover the pleasure.

Speaker 6 (46:02):
I'm okay, okay, thank you for you know, I think
they're just uh. I really loved them and they helped
me like feel like myself for the first time in
my life. But I'm also fine without them.

Speaker 9 (46:13):
You know.

Speaker 6 (46:14):
It's like nice to kind of just good.

Speaker 1 (46:15):
Hey, you got solid hair, so it's doing okay.

Speaker 6 (46:18):
You know it could be it could be a lot
worse at my age. You know, I got a fair
amount of it left. Yeah, and uh, you know I
could use some more, but that's not gonna happen. Doesn't
go in that direction.

Speaker 1 (46:27):
That's true, and of a wander.

Speaker 4 (46:29):
I'm fifty eight this year, and I've wondering about my
own hair, and I've got a bit of a devon
patch happening on the back.

Speaker 1 (46:35):
So I'm very grateful for what I have.

Speaker 6 (46:37):
You guys call them like that. It's called the devon patch.
I mean it happens to guys.

Speaker 7 (46:41):
Like.

Speaker 6 (46:42):
The nice thing about is you don't think about it
much because you don't see it much. Yeah, but I've
realized in the last couple of years that with they
used to just be uh, you know, the big ampathy
as where we're playing in America, they have usually camera
crews because they're so big, they have the screens, you know. Yeah,
And usually the camera crews were just right out in
front of you. So even that was fine. But there's
a lot more sort of like AI Runner mechanically run

(47:02):
cameras pods around the stage now and they catch you
from more angles than they used to. So I'll be
singing a song and I'll look up on the and
I'll see the screen and I'll be like, oh, damn,
they got me there.

Speaker 1 (47:15):
Yeah, damn it. I Love possibly one of the greatest songs.

Speaker 4 (47:24):
And You've told me this story before, and I just
love it is just how accidentally I Love came about.

Speaker 1 (47:29):
You approached to write a song for the movie Shrake. Yeah,
and you just came up with it. Well, it took
a while.

Speaker 6 (47:35):
I mean I almost I was really stumped for a
long time. I knew what I wanted to do, but
I was really having trouble coming up with something that
worked that wasn't either too heavy or too meaningless and
kind of light. And I was getting ready to leave
for a European tour. I'd been working on it for
about a month, and I was on the verge of
calling DreamWorks up and saying, hey, I don't want to

(47:55):
leave you in the lurch. You should call somebody else
because I'm getting nowhere and I have to go on tour.
And then like two or three days before we left,
I got the verse music and the chorus music and
maybe a verse and a chorus lyrically, and so I
could just finish it in hotel rooms. I finished it
in some hotel rooms in England. I was this close
to like calling them up because I didn't want them

(48:16):
to get screwed. I just couldn't get anywhere for a.

Speaker 3 (48:18):
Long certain.

Speaker 1 (48:21):
It, and I would love to.

Speaker 4 (48:23):
I think we should just play it now as we
wrap this up with you, and maybe you could do
a little DJ intro.

Speaker 1 (48:28):
Do you ever do a DJ intro to your own song?

Speaker 6 (48:31):
I guess I could.

Speaker 1 (48:31):
You could. So We've got Accidentally in.

Speaker 4 (48:33):
Love, You're on gold, and then we can play it
all right, Okay, do you miss DJ if you want to.

Speaker 6 (48:41):
Hey, this is Adam from Counting Crows. You're on gold
and you've got Accidentally in Love. Coming up right now.

Speaker 1 (48:47):
Oh so smooth, No, not smooth, I'm not smooth.

Speaker 3 (49:17):
Last weekend, and I want to know your thoughts on this.
So it's this brilliant party that I went to and
the next day they were having. It's at a beachside
area and we can't.

Speaker 1 (49:25):
Talk about this because it's a big mover and shaker party.

Speaker 3 (49:28):
It was just friends. Okay, some people I knew you were,
some I didn't.

Speaker 4 (49:31):
But your friends are the sort of people the most
people go, oh whoa, hang on, look at this.

Speaker 3 (49:36):
No, I've got about one or two of those. Yeah,
and you're not one of them.

Speaker 7 (49:41):
Was that?

Speaker 3 (49:41):
And they spray your face with mate.

Speaker 4 (49:43):
Biaks volumes that I wasn't there, but you know what
I mean, you're a big deal, don't so you move
in circles of big deals.

Speaker 3 (49:49):
Brenda, let me tell this story, please. So the next
day after this big party, because a lot of people
stayed for the night in the beach location, next day
a barbecue, recovery, barbecue, breakfast, brilliant and swim. I have
another friend who she and I often discussed this, if
you ever invited anywhere that involves a pool and adult

(50:10):
pool party, we said, we'd rather lose a finger. I'd
rather look like I've joined the Yakuza than be seen
in a suit yakuza. Please pronunciation.

Speaker 1 (50:20):
Actually, in the US, I am, and they've.

Speaker 3 (50:22):

pinky there.

Speaker 3 (50:29):
No, that's because I won't get into a cozy. Will
you do this, Brendan?

Speaker 1 (50:33):
If you are you?

Speaker 3 (50:35):
Are you that comfortable that anywhere you go you have
you to strip off and be in a cosey in
front of that As an adult pool party, lots of
people adults go. We've been starting this with the girls
in the office. Lots of people who own pools say,
come over for a pup.

Speaker 1 (50:51):
So was this it a pool or at a beach?

Speaker 3 (50:53):
This is at a beach which wasn't circle.

Speaker 1 (50:55):
So it's a private beach.

Speaker 3 (50:57):
No, it's not a private beach, not like the one
you have. No, this is not a private beach. But
if there's a swimming costume involved, I'm not going to
be there.

Speaker 1 (51:07):
Would you. I've never seen you in a swimming costs No, No,
a long time.

Speaker 3 (51:12):
Imagine the ammunition.

Speaker 1 (51:13):

I have.

Speaker 3 (51:16):
It's amazing that I haven't mocked you more. The little
gaby at the back, I had them on backwards. But
this I just to know what you think. Some people
and I'd love to be this comfortable, but no one has.

Speaker 1 (51:33):
Okay, I know that you live in or move in
different circles to me, but no one.

Speaker 4 (51:39):
No one has adult pool parties unless it's some sort
of widow swinger or a very rich person.

Speaker 3 (51:45):
If you go to someone's house, or you go to
someone's house for an afternoon barbecue and everyone is in
swing costumes. I've been talking about this with girls who
work here and always say you get invited to places
where people have an expectation being in.

Speaker 4 (51:59):
And that I only he's not trouble. I remember years
ago there was a pool party, not a pool party,
but just gathering. Was hot day and one of my
mates is another mate's wife was in a bikini and
she sat on his knee and that caused trouble for years.

Speaker 3 (56:44):
No, it's it's just something. I don't feel comfortable in
a cozy around people that I know.

Speaker 1 (56:51):
It's harder for a woman than a man, I think so.

Speaker 3 (56:54):
I think so. And I've got a friend and we've
both said we'd rather lose a finger than go to
a pool party.

Speaker 1 (57:02):

Speaker 3 (57:49):
No, interesting, isn't it? And it's not about going in
the water. I'm not a massive swimmer. But I'm happy
