Speaker 1 (00:01):
Russell Crowe, Good morning, Money, How you doing good? I
never thought i'd say that. It's a big day for me.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Cool, well, it's a massive day for Russell getting joked
to you as well.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
And how I on the spine morning? What's the weather
like up there?
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Beautiful mate, beautiful bit steamy, bit muggy. But it's been
pretty good.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
That's the way you want it, though, isn't it. That's
the way you want it. You want that little film
of sweat on your skin and you know, feel in
the sun.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Every day, especially if you've been working out, it takes
you about three hours to actually stop sweating.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Now you're coming to the Gold Coast with your band.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Yeah, we were there in May and did a sold
out show at Miami Marketta and Venues after his back.
So we're going to come back in January and have
a little bit of fun with it.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
It's a different venue, isn't it. Like it's pretty cool
to play there, I reckon.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
I love that place, man, It's so cool. It's so smart.
You know, it's got different sized areas and different like
food service things. I think there was you know, like
six or seven different things like Indian and Mexican and
all this sort of stuff, you know, and then you
go in for the show. It's very cool and the
stage set up it was really good. The pay is
really good. So you know, we did twenty seven shows
(01:13):
or something in Australia this year and that gig is
right up there with the very very best that you
can go and play. And it's cool.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
We love hearing that they're gonna love like the people
that own it and worked so hard on that, they're
just gonna love that.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Yeah, they were great and they're really you know, welcoming.
When we got there, it was you know, for us,
we'd gone all the way down to Melbourne and we've
done two nights at the Cherry Bar and then we
did the esp which was a very cool, iconic gig.
But then it was freaking freezing, you know what I mean,
four degrees and Melbourne was like putting on. It's like
absolute melbourneess. It was wet, it was gray, it was cold,
(01:50):
and then we got to fly north and the sun
was out and everybody was on the beach after soundcheck.
It was just laurious. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
So you know what, even in the same going from
and the ESPE to the Marketa is like the guys
for the Marketta just being in the same sentence as
the sp they'd be so wrapped because obviously the has
been around for Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Well it's well deserved, man, They've really thought it through it,
you know, it really is. You know, I've been singing
its praiser since we were there, and it was very
cool them to shout out and say come back. You know.
So we're going to have some fun this time with
genuine funshine and eat. So we're all looking forward to it.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
What's the favorite thing for you about playing at live
gigs and playing music?
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Well, you know, I come from that, man. You know,
it's a funny thing because you yeah, you know when
I'm and I make movies and I have done for
four decades or whatever, but you know, prior to making movies,
that's how I made my living, you know, whether it
was playing in clubs and clubs and stuff, or whether
it was even buffet on the street. You know, writing
songs and singing songs for an audience is a very
(02:51):
very natural place for me to be, and so in
a funny way, you know, I work with a bunch
of actors all the time who've come purely from a
theater stream. Now I came from a theater stream, but
I came from stage musicals, you know. So when I
want to sort of go back to my roots, I
don't really want to necessarily go and do a play,
you know, you know, doing the umpteenth version of Hamlet's
(03:14):
not exciting for me. Going and doing a live gig
with the band where you have to be completely present
because you never know what that particular individual gig will
bring you from the audience or whatever and where you
can take it. So it's just exciting. It's kind of like,
you know, you know, the people that are into bungee
jumping or whatever. You're doing live gigs, you're jumping off
a cliff every night. You just and you don't really
(03:35):
know you know what's going to transpire.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Yeah, that makes sense. It sounds like that. That's where
you feel at home, like whilst there is that the
adrenaline rush that's home for you.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Almost. Yeah, it very much is man, you know, and
a lot of my friends always say that it's like
I'm a different person in a funny way when I'm
doing music, because it's just much more at my center.
You know. I've done sixty and I feel completely comfortable
on a film set. But you know, you're doing such
incremental work on a film set. You might be, you know,
(04:07):
twelve hours on a set to capture maybe forty five
seconds of film, you know, So you know, on a
there's no real sense of completion in the same way
there is when you work fork on at the beginning
of the show and you walk off at the end
of the show, you know.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Being at a band and singing. We just had our carols,
our Christmas carols. We had human Nature come and perform.
Do you reckon? I could we sponsored it every year?
Do you reckon next year your band? Can nu learn
some Christmas songs and sing the man's carols?
Speaker 3 (04:34):
We're not a Christmas kind event.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
I good answer.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
We are a very positive event. And there's definitely a
you know, a slight spiritual element in terms of positivity
to what we do. And I'll give you example. Just
recently delt a good da Masters to do the Christmas
show with her and I said, well, we'll come, but
we've got to do one of our songs, you know,
And she picked a song called let Your Light Shine
(05:02):
was actually out as a single man. There's a video
on diva and on YouTube and stuff. So but that
you know, she thought that there's a message in that song.
It's in the title, you know, let your Light Shine here.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
It is Russa found it for you.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
That was cool for for Christmas. So you know, we'll
do Christmas shows, but we won't do drummer boys. Shit,
you don't want to do it. The list of people
who are willing to engage is so long it doesn't.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Tried to get you for next year. And also one
other thing before you go. The Gold Coast is going
to be hosting the Actor Awards this year, which you
launched earlier or next next year. We're so excited. You
really seem to be love the Gold Coast right now.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Well, look, Queensland has been so vigorous in the way
that it's protected its film industry and worked with filmmakers
that you know move Shifting the Actor Awards there for
a few years is kind of an industry reward thing
for the effort that you know, people in the Gold Coast,
people in Brisbane, people you know in Parliament, but also
at the city government level, the effort that they put in,
(06:24):
you know, So we're going to try and make that
a really special night. I think I've heard that Captain
Martin and vaslam and are getting involved in some design elements,
so that should, you know, really list the quality of
what we can deliver as well. It's going to be
great now. Unfortunately, because there was a sad strike this year,
my dates have completely changed, so I will be in
(06:44):
Budapest at the time that the awards are on, which
is really unfortunate, but that's just the way it goes. Sometimes.
It's a gypsy life in us.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
And look, we know you go to go now, but
you know, when you're hanging around, just I've always wanted
to ask this of someone as famous as you and
as recognizable as you. Obviously, a lot of people come
to the Gold Coast and we say on our show
all the time when they're here filming, just please leave
and be let them have a great time, let them
want to come back to the Gold Coast, and you know,
the peraps still follow and it kind of it irks
(07:11):
us a bit because we want this to be a
safe place for people to come. How do you feel
about all of that and people approaching you and how
do you manage it?
Speaker 3 (07:19):
It's been going on a long time. My life. But
there's a lot of the things that you talk about
that I just that it's just water. If I ducks back,
I don't even really notice, you know. I mean, I
just get on with my day and I don't adjust
my day around that sort of stuff. You know, in reality,
they're much more interested in some young movie star that
might be over here from America rather than an old
(07:39):
man trying to find a tennis court. And so it's
sort of it's I'm a less intense interest to people
in that way than I was earlier in my life,
which is, you know, it's great, so part of the
cycle of it. But you know, I worked in Gold
Coast very recently. I shot land a bed there with
Liam Hemm'sworth, and I was riding my bike to work
(08:00):
day and you know, I was just loving being there.
And I don't feel that I got harassed at all. So,
you know, I had a lot of conversations with people,
I did a lot of selfies with people, but I
don't feel that I was harassed.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Oh it's so good to hear that. That's a really
good answer for us to hear on the Gold Coast,
because I think that's what we all want. So that
we continue to have movies here because so many people.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Rely on it. You're basic Australian, you know, attitude of
like seeing someone saying, okt I mate. You know that's
easy to deal with. You know, it's people that stand
in front of you shivering and shaking like it's like,
you know, the meeting, the second coming is like, that's like,
that's very odd.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
It's thanks mate, and don't forget the Miami. Markett had
a big show nineteenth of January Russell Crow's indoor garden party.
I look forward to seeing it.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Look at yourself, Yeah you too, so thank you
Russell Crowe, Good morning, Money, How you doing good? I
never thought i'd say that. It's a big day for me.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Cool, well, it's a massive day for Russell getting joked
to you as well.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
And how I on the spine morning? What's the weather
like up there?
Speaker 2 (00:15):

to play there, I reckon.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
I love that place, man, It's so cool. It's so smart.
You know, it's got different sized areas and different like
food service things. I think there was you know, like
six or seven different things like Indian and Mexican and
all this sort of stuff, you know, and then you
go in for the show. It's very cool and the
stage set up it was really good. The pay is
really good. So you know, we did twenty seven shows

(01:50):
and then we got to fly north and the sun
was out and everybody was on the beach after soundcheck.
It was just laurious. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
So you know what, even in the same going from
and the ESPE to the Marketa is like the guys
for the Marketta just being in the same sentence as
the sp they'd be so wrapped because obviously the has
been around for Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Well it's well deserved, man, They've really thought it through it,
