Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:02):
What is up?

Speaker 2 (00:02):
Guys, Welcome back to another episode of the Missfit Minutes podcast.
I'm your host, of course, Jade. If you're new around here, welcome.
If you're not near around here, welcome back to the chaos.
So for today's episode, I have not one, but two
very special guests with me. I have Will and Jose
from Lost in a Trance.

Speaker 3 (00:19):
Welcome, guys, Hello, Hello, thank you for having us.

Speaker 1 (00:23):
Hey, how's it going.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
It's going.

Speaker 4 (00:27):
It's cold, very cold, very It feels like it came
out of nowhere.

Speaker 2 (00:34):
But also it was a long time coming, so.

Speaker 3 (00:38):
My joints definitely don't appreciate it.

Speaker 2 (00:43):
You guys are farther north bend between the thirties and
forties the past couple of days, and then it's I
think it's supposed to rain. There were talks of snow,
but I highly doubt it because they love to mess
with our emotions here Virginia.

Speaker 3 (01:01):
Snow's and myth in these parts.

Speaker 2 (01:08):
Well, I guess we'll find out when it shows up
or if it doesn't show up. I guess we'll see
what happens. But any who, enough about the weather, So
getting down to breast text, I'm curious how exactly did
you guys get started?

Speaker 3 (01:28):
So I made a status on Facebook kind of It
was more so a little bit of a joke status,
you know, just asking anybody would be interested in doing
something musically. Will and I have a long history our
former bands. I've played many many shows together, so.

Speaker 5 (01:51):
We were already really really good friends.

Speaker 3 (01:54):
And he commented I ended up reaching out to him.
Our other guitarist, Stu, was also in another band that
we have played with. I reached out to him just
by chance and by pure luck, he was actually available

(02:14):
and interested in working with us. Our drummer is very green,
you would say, I believe we were actually the first
band that he played shows with. And he's very young.
And I was referred to him by another very good
mutual friend of ours.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
Okay, I got cha. Yeah. A lot of people usually
there's something Internet related in there, whether it's Craigslist or
Facebook status or what have you, and then it usually
just goes from there. Some people you know, you have
mutual friends and it just ends up working out that way.

Speaker 3 (03:00):
Say this is where this is been a project. I
can say, I don't think I've ever been this happy
making music with a group of guys. I appreciate each
and every one of them.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
Thanks man.

Speaker 5 (03:15):
Yeah. Man.

Speaker 1 (03:17):
The other thing too, if I've been coming on that
is like, it's amazing because I've never been in a
band with as much chemistry as we have together, as
far as our friendship with each other. And also are
you know when it comes to writing material?

Speaker 2 (03:35):
I gotcha, and I was curious you said that it's
you know, this project in particular you have You've never
had this much chemistry. How many other projects have you
been in.

Speaker 3 (03:52):
So me personally, I've been in one other project that
saw the lot of day playing show with similarly some music.
I was in that project for four years. I want
to say, before it untimely demise one could say, oh.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
Yeah, this would be probably my fourth project that I've
been in. That's a lot, oh very much.

Speaker 3 (04:26):
Will like to record himself around a little bit.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
I mean, you gotta. It's kind of like a hermit crab.
You keep moving shells until you find one that fits.

Speaker 3 (04:40):
Absolutely. And I think I think we found the perfect
shell to blend of everyone's I guess pay Stylistically, it
all just blends so well. And writing Will could come
up with the riff Jamie Will right off the bat

(05:00):
he'll have something, and Stu will have something. That's all
very quickly after as.

Speaker 5 (05:06):
Well, and then I'm just yelling.

Speaker 3 (05:09):
Old McDonald's into a microphone, and so I come back
to lyrics.

Speaker 2 (05:15):
That's fair, it's fair. And so I also noticed too
that for three out of the four of you, this
is like a quote unquote second chance and quoting you,
so I'm just curious if you'll be willing to elaborate
on just how big of a second chance this is

(05:36):
for you guys, and maybe a little bit of background
without you know, not not too much tea, but.

Speaker 1 (05:45):
I can start us off on this one. Yeah. So
I actually had mentioned plenty of times, you know, to
Jose and the other members that before this project, I mean,
I had been through so much, many failed you know,
projects that never actually saw the light of day and
everything else, that I was starting to kind of just

(06:08):
lose hope and was going to give up in joining
any bands or playing anything. And the day I was
getting ready to, you know, hang it up, I happened
to see that Jose's post and I was like, yeah,
what the hell, give it one last shot.

Speaker 3 (06:33):
Yeah, And for me, it's kind of the same.

Speaker 5 (06:37):
After my previous band.

Speaker 3 (06:38):
There were a lot of failed attempts, and that was
at the point I was I was pretty much done
with it, you know, I was happy being done with it.
You know, I have a family, so.

Speaker 5 (06:54):
I was my main priority at that point was just being.

Speaker 3 (06:56):
A dad, being a husband. And then I got the
itch again. I got the itch to want to play music.

Speaker 5 (07:04):
I didn't care where it took me, you know, I don't.

Speaker 3 (07:07):
I don't care if I stayed local rest.

Speaker 5 (07:09):
Of my life or you know, if I'm given the
chance to do something more.

Speaker 3 (07:16):
I just wanted to play music with the group of
guys I can call friends and have people listen to
the stories that I tell through the music that we write.
So that kind of sparked Let's let's see where this
takes us. And I think we've been a band through

(07:36):
three years and recently put out our first EP.

Speaker 5 (07:41):
We've played our.

Speaker 3 (07:41):
First I think through two or three shows, and we
just we want to keep doing more.

Speaker 2 (07:51):
Well, that's awesome. I'm glad that you guys stuck with
it and decided to stick around for a little bit longer. Yeah,
I saw actually earlier, I know you guys, like you
said you played this would have been your fourth show
this weekend, but I saw that it got canceled. Unfortunately.

Speaker 3 (08:13):
Yeah, due to unforeseen circumstances, the fourth of the show
was canceled. So we're taking you know, we're going to
take a month off because we are working on new material. You.
I just want to get our stage where it's a
little tighter and start trying to start the new year
all you know. Strong, excuse me.

Speaker 2 (08:40):
You're not boring me.

Speaker 3 (08:41):
I worked.

Speaker 2 (08:43):
I promise you're not boring me.

Speaker 1 (08:45):
Oh, you're fine. I normally would talk a lot more,
but I'm in the same boat.

Speaker 3 (08:49):
Yeah, I talked on phones for a living, so I'm like, oh, yeah,
but what do you think.

Speaker 2 (08:58):
You just said you talked on phones? Like, what do
you do?

Speaker 3 (09:01):
I saw work in a call center? Ah, I gotcha
as my day job. I see you see.

Speaker 1 (09:08):
It would make it a lot more entertaining if he
was screaming at people over the phone. They're the way
you got on the stage. I'm a maintenance guy at
a college.

Speaker 2 (09:19):
Oh, I'm sure they keep you very busy.

Speaker 1 (09:24):
That's an understatement.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
I definitely have an appreciation for folks that do that
job or anything taking care of anything related to a
bunch of young people. I still loved you because the
people that I went to school with were a wild

(09:47):
Every five seconds, a toilet was backed up somewhere, light
fissures falling off the ceiling.

Speaker 1 (09:55):
My guys, come on, you see it all in this profect.

Speaker 2 (10:00):
Just like can you not?

Speaker 1 (10:03):
And then like.

Speaker 2 (10:07):
How I can count how many times I had to
call maintenance when I was in school, Like my heat
stopped working, it's really cold in your help.

Speaker 3 (10:18):
When I went to school, I was a kid, know
for during screaming vocals down the hallway, thinking nobody could
hear me?

Speaker 2 (10:26):
Oh really?

Speaker 3 (10:27):
Oh yeah, it was embarrassing, like the kid with the.

Speaker 2 (10:36):
With the drum set in the garage.

Speaker 3 (10:38):
Absolutely, you think nobody can hear you, but everybody can
hear you.

Speaker 2 (10:42):
And then as soon as you step outside you realize
that everyone.

Speaker 3 (10:46):
Can hear You're like, oh no, yeah, it'd be like it.

Speaker 2 (10:54):
So your your first couple of shows. I'm curious, what
was something that you learned early on for this particular
project as compared to some of your other things. What
was something that you learned that you didn't know beforehand.

Speaker 1 (11:14):
Uh? So we use tracks live and I quickly learned
to make sure you have a backup ready for your uh,
backing tracks.

Speaker 3 (11:27):
I learned don't use a phone for your backing tracks.
In our defense, it was an outside show, so we
wanted to try something new. So we had the tracks
queued up on a phone and it just it was
and it was an older phone at bat and it
worked great at practice, and when it came to a

(11:48):
live setting, we very quickly learned we done and fucked up.

Speaker 1 (11:56):
Yeah we uh. We played the show all my just
entirely without backing tracks. But the funniest part of it
is is that all of our interludes worked perfectly. It's
just in the middle of the song when it mattered
the most, it was it was completely cut out.

Speaker 3 (12:17):
Yeah, our basis backtrack.

Speaker 5 (12:19):
We are a four piece, so.

Speaker 3 (12:23):
Mostly I think half the set it worked okay. In
the back half, especially from once someone it's just supposed
to be based in drums, there was no bass and
that's when I knew something was not right and I shot.
I looked over at Will. It was like Will, what's
going on?

Speaker 2 (12:46):
Yes, I can't imagine the panic of why isn't this working?
What's happening? Who did what?

Speaker 3 (12:54):
It's exactly how it went to The crazy part is
after after the people were like, yeah, we had no
idea how you guys were going through some technical issues
like that.

Speaker 2 (13:06):
You know, I hear that all the time, and I
did acquire for a little bit when I was when
I was in school, so I have my A choir
director always used to say, honestly, if you make a mistake,
just go with it. Don't like just stop singing completely,
Just go with it because nine times out of ten,
I promise you no one's gonna notice. And if they're

(13:30):
just they would more than likely applaud you for continuing
on and not making a big deal out of it
and you know, trying to recover then like freaking out
and like stomping off stage and going to cry or whatever.

Speaker 1 (13:48):
No.

Speaker 3 (13:48):
Yeah, and I think this is part of the saving
grace is the only person in Yeah, it's.

Speaker 2 (13:57):
Those kinds of I mean, those kinds of issues. I
mean it's hard stuff, but hey, you work through it,
and honestly, like you know, like we said, most people
don't notice anyway, Yeah, go with it and keep it moving.

Speaker 1 (14:15):
Yeah. The other thing I learned too is, uh, yeah,
you know your equipment's heavy, but you don't know how heavy.
It is until you're lugging it across the field. That's
just all grass.

Speaker 2 (14:31):
That sucks.

Speaker 3 (14:34):
I would saying, so you're lugging it and up up
flight of stairs, Oh.

Speaker 2 (14:38):
Yeah, yeah, carrying carrying the heavy stuff. I always offer
if I'm at shows and I know the band, I
always try to offer to help carry stuff. And sometimes
I'll just be like no, no, no, it's too heavy.
We got it. But thank you though, and other times

(14:59):
like yeah, sure, go ahead.

Speaker 3 (15:02):
I just want to break the stigma. Right now, I'm
a vocalist and I help load in Oh okay, you
gotta break that stigma.

Speaker 2 (15:12):
Yeah, everyone always everyone always makes that joke. I make
that joke. But it's like, on the one hand, like
I get it, but at the same time, like, you know,
if you're just gonna push everything off on your on
your bandmates, like that's not cool, especially if you're just
like standing there not doing anything, if you were so emerged,

(15:32):
or if you're like you know, handling people like answering questions,
if you're talking to the the like people that run
the venue, or if you're contributing in some way, then
I guess it's not like a huge, huge deal. But
still like, you know, if you can help and you're
able when you're not doing anything, then yeah, you should

(15:53):
definitely help.

Speaker 1 (15:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (15:55):
Absolutely no one likes a diva, just kidding me. Definitely love. Yeah,
I think there's a there's a correct way to be a.

Speaker 3 (16:14):
Diva and absolutely sure. I think the time on stage
is your time to be a diva. And I think
we will have talked about this before, but that when
you get off stage, that's that's that's probably down a
little bit.

Speaker 5 (16:31):
That's you know, right, yeah, I.

Speaker 2 (16:36):
You don't have to like and that was It's kind
of related, but not really. That was something that I
kind of had to get used to when I started
coming around the scene more and seeing more and more
bands playing and getting to know and be friends with bands.
Is like, as soon as they get done on stage,
like they might not want to talk to you right

(16:58):
in that moment, so like, don't bombard them and started
asking them questions and stuff, because nine times out of
ten they're gonna be like cool, thanks and then walk away, yeah,
or like hey, you see me carrying this really heavy thing,
so like talk to me later police. Thanks.

Speaker 5 (17:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (17:17):
I definitely I try to reconsider it when I want
to talk to bands, and if it's a local show,
I'll try, you know how, at least help them unload
and talk to them about we're doing that. The bonding experience,
you know.

Speaker 2 (17:31):
Yeah, I think the worst experience I had with that,
and technically it wasn't even anyone in the band's fault.
But long story short, I went and saw traders here
at it's a venue called the Canal Club and big
deal of you con as traders. Well, I did not

(17:54):
realize that there was already a line formed behind me,
so I just ran up to Tyler. I was like,
oh my god, hi, and like shook his hand or
what have you and he was like, hey, thanks, and
then I took a picture with him and I looked
behind me and there was like a butt load of
people and I was like, oh no, I'm that And

(18:17):
then I ran and hit in the bathroom for ten
minutes because I felt like I was gonna get jumped.

Speaker 3 (18:24):
Understandable.

Speaker 2 (18:24):
I was like, I'm so sorry, But he was cool, gad,
he handled it pretty well. But I definitely learned the
hard way. Like if you see them and they just
finished a set, please leave them alone. Let them go
get some fresh air. Get a sip of water before
you start being like, yo, your set was sick.

Speaker 3 (18:46):
I don't. I guess it's because we're a lot smaller.
I don't. I don't find people coming up right when
we're done. It was like, oh, you know, I appreciate that,
but I guess, I guess we're like puny in the
grand aspects of things.

Speaker 2 (19:05):
No matter how big or small, every band has definitely
do something to contribute and all that. I treat every
band the same. It's a big deal to me. Anytime
I get to see anyone play. It wouldn't matter if
it was, you know, a small local band that's only

(19:26):
played a few shows, or someone who's played football stadiums.
It doesn't matter. I always treat everyone the same.

Speaker 3 (19:34):
Oh yeah, I'm all. I was just spreading, just spreading
the love.

Speaker 2 (19:40):
Absolutely. And speaking of spreading love, we are going to
spread some love onto this EP that you guys recently.

Speaker 3 (19:49):
Put out, Beautiful Transition. Thank you very much.

Speaker 2 (19:57):
So first off, fantast stick love the material. I love
the vibe. The artwork is really neat. It gives me
like kind of gives me like like what lies below
kind of vibes. As far as the artwork goes.

Speaker 6 (20:18):
Thank you.

Speaker 4 (20:19):
It's like that's that's spooky, like yeah, kind of out there,
like what's going on, like just behind the veil kind
of thing, which.

Speaker 3 (20:30):
I dig it. It looks really cool and there is
a reason the artwork does, in the fact coincide with
the EP. I feel like perfectly.

Speaker 6 (20:41):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (20:43):
Cool. Well that leads into my next question was to
kind of elaborate on maybe, like I guess, the overall
message that you wanted to send to fans with this release.

Speaker 1 (20:58):
So the tirty of the EP is all about grieving
in the stages of grief as far as you know.
It's told from multiple perspectives as well, so like you

(21:18):
have are very you know, from the very start, Keepsake
is told from the perspective of the surviving you know,
people around the person who passed away. Yah ah, talking
about you know, even just from the first line wake

(21:40):
up as in the person that passed away, you just
wish that they could wake up. Yeah, you talk about
the slow decay of your humanity because you feel like
you're losing yourself when they pass away. And then you
go into sleep Gate, which is from the perspective of

(22:01):
the person who passed away, feeling as if they're floating
in an endless abyss and wanting to be woken from
their sleep gate. Yeah, And it goes back and forth
through that perspective throughout the EP and just tells the
story of grieving from the side of the you know,

(22:23):
the person that lost somebody, and then we took some
creative liberties and put grieving in the perspective of a
viewpoint of the person who passed away.

Speaker 3 (22:40):
Yeah, you sum that up like perfectly.

Speaker 2 (22:44):
Yeah, I definitely. I definitely picked up on some of
the themes that I wanted to confirm my not suspicions,
but like my thoughts and kind of where you guys
were going with it. I really I thought it was
really well done. My personal favorite track on the EP,

(23:05):
I would say it was Dead Eyes. I definitely liked
that one a lot, But all of the songs are
really great.

Speaker 3 (23:15):
Thank you, Thank you appreciate that. Dead Eyes is definitely
a fun one, and I think that that that was
the big the third song we wrote as a band.

Speaker 1 (23:25):
Yeah, that sounds about right, Oh, I got you which
Dead Eyes actually went through two variations before you know.
This is version two that made it out. Version one
still needs a lot of yeah, like work and love

(23:47):
and everything else, and we'll probably see the light in
the future under a different name, very fastly different songs too.

Speaker 2 (23:57):
I gotcha, right, I mean, you know, sometimes it ends
up that way. I don't write a ton of lyrics
and stuff, mostly because I don't have my band, but
I write a lot of like free verse poetry, so
I really can sympathize with Like you write a couple

(24:22):
of lines of something and you're like, you come back
to it later and you're like, Nope, that is not
what I was going for and kind of revamp it
or change it into something new, and you still want
to like hold on to what was there before, at
least at least for me. That's how I usually end

(24:43):
up doing it. I usually have two drafts of almost
everything I write, and keep the raps just in case
I want to reuse it later.

Speaker 3 (24:54):
So the second Collapse on the EP, Ashes wrote that
song all the way up until we tracked vocals, and
there's one section of the song towards the beginning where
I completely preverse it on the spot.

Speaker 5 (25:13):
Because I did not like, collectively we did not like
what I had, So that.

Speaker 3 (25:21):
There's a section and Ashes that's completely like, off the
top of my head, one basically at one take.

Speaker 2 (25:31):
I mean, nothing's wrong with a little improv I mean
it worked out.

Speaker 3 (25:37):
It did, That's just it is probably one of my
personal favorite things, so so difficult to do live.

Speaker 2 (25:47):
Of course, it's always the one that's difficult or is
really intricate or has a lot of moving parts that's
everyone's favorite.

Speaker 1 (25:58):
Oh yeah, yeah, Like I know, Panic is another one
that we have good reception for. That song for me
is a literal nightmare to play. And it's kind of
funny because between us, we have a recurring meme that

(26:20):
appears every once in a while that somebody took of
me in the studio just after about fifty takes of
playing the same part over and over again.

Speaker 2 (26:39):
That's funny. Yeah, yeah, working with those sorts of things,
I'm playing it over and over and over again.

Speaker 1 (26:48):
After a while, you're just like, uh, oh, yeah, I have.

Speaker 2 (26:53):
There's an old old video on my TikTok of me
doing multiple takes of a recording and I think I
was getting ready to like introduce someone, and I just
kept I just kept sucking it up. So I thought
it was away funny and I maybe TikTok out of it.

(27:13):
And speaking of TikTok, I found you guys on TikTok
and the video of the gecko is probably my favorite
video ever.

Speaker 3 (27:22):
Thank you. But that was the middle of the night.

Speaker 5 (27:25):
I was like, I wonder.

Speaker 3 (27:29):
It took me about an hour and a half at
that time, like perfectly.

Speaker 5 (27:35):
That is a little charmander.

Speaker 2 (27:37):
I love it. Do you have other pets?

Speaker 5 (27:42):
My wife is currently yelling at me because she did
not know the video.

Speaker 2 (27:52):
Me personally.

Speaker 1 (27:55):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (27:56):
I have two cats and two dogs. I have an
English bulldog and he was currently snoring away in my
living room right now.

Speaker 1 (28:04):
That I have two cats and a dog, I have
their two tabbies and my dog is everybody's favorite.

Speaker 6 (28:19):
Zoe.

Speaker 1 (28:20):
She is a husky pit bull and like twenty other
dogs mixed together, but all she wants to do is
love everybody.

Speaker 2 (28:32):
That's awesome.

Speaker 3 (28:36):
I have the smiling got Go. I have a cat
named Valkyrie. She's somewhere in my house pluggingham And we
have a bunny named Pooa.

Speaker 2 (28:51):
Oh that's dope. My oldest cat, he is a tuxedokat.
His name is Artemis and.

Speaker 3 (29:03):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (29:03):
And we have a little great cat I can. I
can't remember if there's a specific breed for that color
pattern or if it's literally just they're just a great cat.
He name is Astrid.

Speaker 3 (29:19):
Oh my god, that was gonna be my second daughter's name.
Oh it was very close name of her.

Speaker 2 (29:28):
I love that. We had a younger cat before we
got her that unfortunately passed away. His name was Ony. Yes,
he was our little one eyed demon.

Speaker 3 (29:42):
Mm hmm, rest in peace. Any all right?

Speaker 2 (29:49):
Thanks? Thanks? Yeah, he's big, chilling up in the sky.
So we're good. And we have a little white terrier
named Talk. We did not name him. He came that
way and we just kind of stuck with it because
he's an older dog. So we were like, we're not
going to put him through renaming him and all that

(30:11):
sounds sounds a little overcomplicated. We're just well, just let
him do his thing.

Speaker 3 (30:16):
So let him talk her out if you will. I'm
a dad from a joke.

Speaker 2 (30:29):
I was getting ready to say, your dad. You knew
you were gonna fit a dad joke in there somewhere.

Speaker 3 (30:35):
I have to.

Speaker 2 (30:39):
So this is an interesting question, and it doesn't really
have anything to do with you're being specifically, but I'm curious.
So as we all know, as Facebook has so generously
reminded us, Spotify rat came out today.

Speaker 3 (31:01):
Yes, yes, then yay.

Speaker 1 (31:06):
About time?

Speaker 4 (31:07):
Right?

Speaker 2 (31:08):
I kept watching it, like, come on. My question was
what was the most surprising artists that came up on
your Spotify rat Where you were like, did I really
listen to that much of that?

Speaker 1 (31:23):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (31:25):
For me, none of them? Actually, I know, I like
probably Emotionless and White. I didn't realize so much of
them I listened to this year.

Speaker 1 (31:38):
So for me it is.

Speaker 6 (31:42):
Bill Murray.

Speaker 1 (31:44):
Uh huh, yes, I which I kind of wasn't too surprised,
but I didn't think I listened to that much of
their music. But I am. Last year, I was like
in the top like five percent of his listeners. Now
I'm in the top two percent. Also, the band, not

(32:07):
the person, I gotcha.

Speaker 2 (32:10):
Someone I was talking to the other day mentioned the band,
not the person, so I figured that that was who
you're referring to.

Speaker 1 (32:21):
Yeah, yeah, I it made me realize that I listened
to entirely too much of his music.

Speaker 3 (32:38):
But it's so good. Is there are such things?

Speaker 1 (32:42):
Not at all?

Speaker 3 (32:43):
Mmy? No, never.

Speaker 1 (32:49):
I had.

Speaker 2 (32:52):
Apparently I'm a huge Hosier fan, which I mean, I
really like Hosier, but I didn't think I listened to
him that often.

Speaker 4 (33:00):
And then.

Speaker 2 (33:04):
Fight from Within was also on my list. I think
they were number two or three. Shout out the Homies, yes,
and my top artist was a I'm not sure if
you've ever heard of them, but it's a band slash
solo I called City in Color. The lead singer's name

(33:28):
is Down. I adore him. I have had an obsession
with him since middle school, so don't judge me.

Speaker 1 (33:37):
Are we going through Spotify rats?

Speaker 2 (33:39):
Now?

Speaker 3 (33:40):
So my number one occurrent.

Speaker 2 (33:44):
Nice Nice?

Speaker 1 (33:47):
Oh, go ahead, I'll let you finish.

Speaker 3 (33:50):
To appropriate, uh m hm, what's to supper?

Speaker 2 (34:01):
Nice?

Speaker 3 (34:02):
Three was motional so white, A four was the part
of you, which I thought would be higher, and then
five was fancy right on, not not bad.

Speaker 2 (34:17):
Picks at all. Yeah, I apparently I need to put
some more hours in on the middle side of things,
because everything was either Hosier or sad cowboy music.

Speaker 1 (34:30):
Apparently a sad cowboy music Bill Murray is right up
your alley.

Speaker 3 (34:36):
Yeah, honestly, I'll have.

Speaker 2 (34:39):
To look it up after we're after.

Speaker 1 (34:41):
We're doing here, So for me, mine was obviously number one.
Bill Murray. Uh Number two was a Ben. I don't
know if you have heard of them or not, but
they're called Capstan Uh Solid Ben. Amazing, They're pretty good.

(35:03):
Number three the plot in you Uh. Number four suicide
boys ay, and number five landmarks.

Speaker 2 (35:18):
Okay, okay, you got some for variety there. Yeah. I
made a joke on Facebook earlier and I was like,
what did I say? I said, I need you all
to drop me some more playlists and stuff to listen to,

(35:40):
so my Spotify will stop painting me like I'm a
poser because.

Speaker 3 (35:44):
I am not. Just listen to the hardcore not record.

Speaker 2 (35:51):
Button because I can't talk today apparently, and I don't
know what words are.

Speaker 5 (35:55):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, my my, my spelling today.

I do the same.

Speaker 3 (36:22):
Listen normally on a normal day. It's eight o'clock. I'm
in bed watching some kind of anime.

Speaker 2 (36:30):
See you get the vibe.

Speaker 1 (36:34):
I mean, I can take us back here and tell
a funny story about one of our.

Speaker 6 (36:40):
Songs, which all sleep gate the paint.

Speaker 1 (36:46):
Yes, so sleep Gate. Fun fact about that song is
we all got together for our first f or practice
and Jose unfortunately couldn't make it.

Speaker 3 (37:09):
For that whole month.

Speaker 1 (37:10):
Actually, yes, we got together. It was just me, the
other guitarists Stu, and our drummer Jamie, which none of
us had met Jamie at this point, so we were
still yes, so we were still all feeling each other out,

(37:30):
and we were just messing around and seeing just kind
of throwing random like stuff at the wall and seeing
what stuff. And I started playing this melody and at
that time I was still just playing bass in the band,
and the all of a sudden, Uh, Stu started playing

(37:55):
these chords to go over it. Then Jamie jumped in
and before we knew it, we had written like almost
the entirety of sleep Gate. And Jose Sho showed up
to our next practice and was like, all right, cool,
let's you guys met each other, Let's start writing. And

(38:18):
we immediately turned and said, oh, we already have a
song and started playing that and Jose's face to this
day was the most priceless thing I already I've ever seen,
because he just looked at us and he's like, how
the hell did you guys do this in one day?

Speaker 3 (38:39):
Correction, they had two songs done, they had sleeking, and
they had panic pretty much done.

Speaker 1 (38:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (38:47):
So when I showed up to that practice, I was like,
butter my backside and call me a biscuit. Felt good,
that's funny.

Speaker 2 (39:01):
I mean, when the chemistry is there and the vibes
are there, and you kind of have to take the
opportunity as it presents itself.

Speaker 7 (39:11):
If they got jumped playing, I looked at them, they
looked at me. I looked at them, They looked at me.
You know, my wife doesn't appreciate my humor.
