Guys.
Speaker 1 (00:03):
Welcome back to another episode of the Misfit Minutes podcast.
I'm your host, of course, Jady. If you're around here, welcome.
If you're not around here, welcome back to the chaos.
So for today's episode, I have not one, not two,
not three, not four, but five very special guests with me.
I have Joel Nate, Devin Brandon, and Bobby from sixty.
Welcome guys.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Hello, yo, yo yo.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Glad to have you, Glad to have you. Thank you
guys for coming on. I appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Of course, thanks for having us on.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Thank you absolutely, I'm glad we could get this done.
So first things first, I'm gonna roast you because you
are you guys are called sixty and there's five of yous.
Is there like an imaginary member that we don't know about?
Speaker 3 (00:51):
We have a secret member. We are in fact sixty.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
This guy's been there from the beginning. Man, he's literally
the six. So he's just a guy.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
He does.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
He just comes to all our shows.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
He does our merge, you know, like a rabid dog.
And we kept him around.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
All right, just kick him out, like hey bye.
Speaker 5 (01:28):
You're just gonna make faces at us behind the screen
mostly Joel does that does.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
It kicking out?
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Also, Joel's the culprit, and I see how it sounds
about right, it's got a reputation. Bro, Nah, it's because
it's because your name starts with the jay. We we
got to stick together, you know, right, Yeah, but.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
We'll take that rose. That's that's fine. But now you
know there's a.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Now we know, ladies and gentlemen don't come. Don't come
for these guys because they will. They will let you
know real quick. Our name is not dumb. We named
it like that for a reason. But that is really
cool though, that you have that extra person to kind
of help step in and do things and whatnot.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
It's cool. I wouldn't go that far.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
It just shows up.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Like I heard y'all had a show today, so I
decided to show. The show is in I don't know,
somewhere obscure like Texas. Mhm, Like how did you get here?
You know, I drove.
Speaker 5 (02:53):
Under the ID, I paid a carry and that's what
it is.
Speaker 6 (03:04):
No, but honestly, uh, Sean's been one of my best
friends since like twenty thirteen, and we've always stuck around
with each other. And once I got into this band
and everything kept rolling. We uh just had him always
hanging out at practices, coming to shows with us, even
ride into the shows with us and stuff and hanging
out at the merch table. So he's uh, he's really
(03:25):
been one of us the whole time. So it's it's
been a cool thing to have for sure.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Awesome, he's our dollar.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
He's stop.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
So you mentioned.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Now that you're in this band. I know you guys
started in twenty nineteen. Is that correct?
Speaker 4 (03:48):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Yeah, technically technically allegedly.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Yeah, the page was me, I guess.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Yeah, the roughest so rapid fire. How many bands have
you been in? Start from this end?
Speaker 2 (04:08):
By three? Three bands?
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Three, four, four? If you say five, I swore it.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Yeah, I'm gonna have to think it might be that.
Speaker 7 (04:26):
Shoot one two such a rapid fire about about six Yeah,
Oh she didn't say rapid fire, My bad.
Speaker 8 (04:38):
Yeah six, I've been in five five.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
Mm hmm, I've been in two two Okay.
Speaker 6 (04:47):
Bobby's first show was like last year, two years year
and a half ago?
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Wow, yeah, two years?
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Ever?
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Ever, dang, what was that like?
Speaker 8 (04:59):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (04:59):
No, racking? It was it was fun.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
It was fun.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Did they give you a really hard time, dude, you
fucked up the thing.
Speaker 6 (05:08):
I was with a different band, but uh yeah, I
mean it wasn't It was.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
A first show. It went over as well as.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
I could have wanted it to.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
M Well, that's cool.
Speaker 6 (05:22):
It actually first show was in another band during our
first show as a band, and then like a few
like shows later, they kind of broke.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
Up and then we picked Bobby up and scabbed them off.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
The streets.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Were much you were scout playing scheming even though that's right,
you were watching like them. Some guys that come and
watch the high school football players are like, hmmm.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
See the potential draft Bobby drafted. Imagine if there was
a draft, like for the NFL, but for like bands,
Oh god, it would.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Be that's actually crazy.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Yeah, write that down.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Write that down. Draft kings, you guys want on some ship.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
That would be really fun, like interesting that Like, people
just submit their stuff on draftings and then you can
build your band based on whatever you see that you like,
and then you know, if your band comes to fruition,
you get money forward or whatever.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
The Fantasy Band League basically.
Speaker 9 (06:37):
The only way that there's money in being in a
band is that other people can.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
They look through the rosters and there's like, you know,
I think six Deep is gonna take it this year.
I'm thinking a little oh yeah now, and look from
what I've seen, I mean, you guys have done some
You guys did some pretty cool and interesting stuff over
you know, last year and seeping into this year. I know.
(07:07):
You guys released an EP in December which I did
check out, and guys, if you have not checked it out,
I highly suggest that you hit pass, go listen to
their EP, and then come back to this episode. Okay, thanks,
You've listened to the Holy EP and it is fire,
so now you can listen to the rest of the conversation.
Speaker 10 (07:26):
Thanks.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Oh yeah, quick, What is you guys's like favorite song
on the EP?
Speaker 5 (07:37):
My favorite song is probably probably Remnants, fast paced song,
kind of straight to the point, angry lyrics, good song.
Speaker 11 (07:51):
It's hard for me to pick a favorite, but lyrically,
the most like impactful one for me is probably All
the Blood.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
It's a pretty emotional song for me, so I picked
that one.
Speaker 12 (08:02):
I think, all right.
Speaker 6 (08:04):
I'd say my favorite to play is probably the Disconnect.
That's the most like fun to play on drums, and
then the one I like to listen to. The most
is All but Blood for sure. For what Brandon said,
it's it's got the most emotion to it. I think, Yeah,
that's what I would pick. Two is All the Blood.
It's just got a crazy vibe. It's it's something different
(08:26):
that not a lot of people can.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Really pull off. I feel like, and that song is
pretty sick, so I'd probably say.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
Right now it's nice a pass.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Yeah, I really I love like the fast stuff. I
love like the rapid changing kind of like weaving in
and out kind of stuff. I have not been like
around hardcore for a very very long time, but from
the stuff that I've heard and the stuff that I've
(08:58):
interacted with, I find that I like that in between
of not just the hardcore stuff and not just the
death core or metal core or what have you kind
of thing. I like the in between where it has
I call it, like the bite of hardcore, but then
like the riffing and everything else from death corn, you
(09:20):
combine the two ends up being really dope.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Yeah for sure. Hell yeah, I look with.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Who are I guess kind of like some of you
guys's favorite bands to listen to, Like when you're in
the writing process, or what were some bands that are
maybe even just songs that you kind of went back
to as you were writing, uh this EP.
Speaker 5 (09:48):
So I try to stay away from Mettle as much
as possible when I'm in my writing mode, So I'll
listen to a lot of rap and pop music around
that time. One of my favorite all time bands is
So you know. I listened to them probably on a monthly.
On a monthly, I would say repeat, but I listened
to that monthly and uh Plastic kind of like slow
(10:13):
beat down band like Traders. I like them a lot too.
But when the writing process is all like infruition, I
really stay away from metal music completely.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
I gotcha.
Speaker 8 (10:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
I I write like a lot of like Feeder's poetry,
and I find that listening to a little bit of
everything kind.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Of helps.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
I guess kind of developing, because usually it starts like
with like a one or two sentence thing, and then
it develops into like a whole thing that ends up being,
you know, a page full of stuff, which is great,
and like I know, I sometimes go back and edit
things like months later, I'm like, yeah, I don't really
like how that sounded. I might something out or add something,
(11:01):
and it might change based on, you know, the things
that I'm listening to at the time, because I like
to listen to music when i'm writing so I can relate.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
My whole thing is like, I don't want to subconsciously
sound like somebody else.
Speaker 5 (11:15):
I really want to try to experiment and you know,
take inspiration from outside sources other than metal to try
to put into.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
You know, uh I guess a metal way.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Yeah, yeah, I get interesting. Yeah. I feel like a
lot of people feel that way about it too, Like
they try not to not to be a copycat or whatever,
because you can. I feel like you can tell when
people are copying a certain style of someone.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
For sure.
Speaker 6 (11:47):
For sure, it's it's easy to fall into too. You
just like he said, subconsciously do it. Sometimes when we're
write in riffs will be like, oh damn, that sounds
just like so and so song, and we go and
look it up and it's like, shit, it that's like
pretty similar.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
We mean to be fair. If there's so much music
out and there's so many bands, it's almost I won't
say it's impossible, because it's obviously it's possible because you're
doing it, but it's difficult to not sound at least
a tiny bit similar to some things.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Right.
Speaker 5 (12:23):
That's also like when it comes to like being marketable,
like you have to have a you know, a sound
to kind of fit in a place just so you
can market your music alone. Like you can sound like
a completely different band, but you really have to like
dial in on who your audience is to kind of
figure out who you're marketing to.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Right, This is very true. Yeah, being marketable and knowing
your audience and those sorts of things are definitely things
that help you out a lot. Speaking kind of I
guess of like marketability and that sort of stuff. What
was kind of something that you guys learned in that
(13:02):
aspect of things as a band in twenty twenty four?
Speaker 2 (13:07):
How expensive it is? Yeah, lot lots of money.
Speaker 6 (13:11):
Not that it wasn't unexpected or anything, but it was
just kind of like a culture shock. This is like
I think for all of us, the most like successful
you could say, we've ever been in a band maybe,
so a lot of the expenses come along with that.
And you know, we just we played by year. We
try to make smart decisions and you know, see where
(13:34):
it goes. It's it's kind of an all kind of
big experiment at this point, you know, yeah, yeah, I
feel you.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Yes. Music is definitely expensive. It's expensive to be a
part of, it's expensive to like, yeah, expensive to enjoy like,
And I feel like anytime you go to a show,
you're looking to spend On average, I would say fifty,
you know, one hundred bucks, because hear me out, you
(14:02):
got to pay to go to the show. So I
don't know, most shows are about fifteen to twenty bucks,
depending on who's playing and all that. And if you're
like me, I always tip the door. So if the
show is ten bucks, I'm paying fifteen. If the shows yeah,
or at least I try to anyway, just because especially
if it's ran by somebody that I know, like, you know,
(14:23):
to try to help out, you know, whatever do in
my park. But anyhow, so you're paying to get in
the door, that's fifteen to twenty bucks ish, and then
you're paying for merch, which is on average from anywhere
from five to I don't know, thirty to forty bucks
depending on if you buy a shirt or a hoodie
or hat or both or all three, who knows. So
(14:47):
that's forty bucks right there, and you got if you
go to the bar, they have a bar, You got food, drinks,
the gas money to get there, and before you know it,
you spend one hundred bucks. No, yeah, but I mean
it's I mean, it's definitely worth it. I'm not complaining.
I'm glad that we have this lovely music scene that
(15:08):
we get to interact with, but.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Godly, yeah, I get it. And especially with the prices
of shows going up recently, Like I remember whenever I'd
be able to see like Silver Seeing and day Seeker
for thirty dollars, but now you know, there's there's some
shows that are around here that are thirty to forty dollars.
I'm like, man, the prices are just going up for
(15:31):
the ticket themselves.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
And unlike these, like like big festivals too, you forget,
especially if there's like I hate you know, it's the
only way to describe them, like the legacy bands, like
the bands that have been doing this for twenty thirty
forty years that everyone wants to see like before they're done,
(15:54):
or bands that like they maybe grew up with, or
bands that they're close with, what have you, and then
they're going to see those. And most of these festivals
are costed, like I don't know, three hundred bucks depending
on which festival and where and how how early you
buy your ticket and and you know, after a while,
(16:15):
I don't know, it's a lot. I think the last
big festival that I went to was the Blue Ridge
Rock Fest, and I just I haven't been back since.
They haven't had it since. So was that last year
or no, I think it was. I think it was
(16:36):
the year before that is when it was either year
before that it was the last year that they had it,
because that was the year that it rained and flooded
and everything. That's not enough flooded, but like the had
the big storm come through when they canceled it, and
then the weather was fine like the next day, so
everybody was really mad.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Forget that.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Yeah, I didn't go that year. I went like a
year or two before that, and it was a good time.
It was hot. The wait was long, you know, it
is what it is. I missed a bunch of bands
that I really wanted to see, Like I had, I
had bands on my list that I really wanted to
see and didn't get to see because I was standing
(17:22):
in line waiting for the shuttle for like, I think
the longest we waited was four hours or more. I think,
I think if I remember correctly, because the way that
the lines were set up, it was like it would
snake around, so you would think you were, oh, cool,
We're almost at the end, and it would snake back around.
You be like nope, just kidding, You're like no. And
(17:44):
I kept getting videos of like people like seeing the
bands that I wanted to see, and I was like, dang.
Speaker 5 (17:49):
It, it's like a first come, first sin do pretty much.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Yeah, we got there too late, but you know what,
it's all good. I still got to see some cool bands,
and it was it was all right, a good time.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Good.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Yeah. When you guys aren't, like, I guess, for lack
of a word, like if you're not terribly busy, like
you don't have a lot of stuff on your calendar
as a band, how often do you go to shows?
Speaker 9 (18:23):
Mhm.
Speaker 6 (18:25):
It's tough sometimes because a lot of the shows around us,
they're they're like at least an hour away from where
we are where we practice. Centrally, we try to go
to as many like homie shows as we can. We've
got a lot of friends in the scene obviously, and uh,
you know, it's uh a lot of times we're practicing
when when other people are playing shows too, So we're
(18:46):
we're trying to stay a little locked in on doing that.
And if not that, we've got a lot of business
endeavors that we tackle while we're not actually playing shows too.
So I don't know, I'd say we go, we go
see was at least like once a month maybe with people?
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Yeah, yeah, that's about average for most most people, especially
people that are in their own bands and have you know,
things going on. I'd probably say I go to probably
about about one show them on depending.
Speaker 4 (19:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Yeah, I work.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
Fun too, because I mean.
Speaker 5 (19:24):
The way that I think about my life is it's
seventy percent work and then another thirty percent work.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
And so so.
Speaker 5 (19:34):
I get home from from my day job, right and
so the first thing I'm thinking about is like, you know,
what can I do to like work on something towards
you know, while I'm trying to, like the the goals
I'm trying to accomplish in the band. So a lot
of that time is just taken up like that. If
I have like free time, I'm almost kicking myself in
the butt thinking like, oh what I could be doing
(19:54):
something right now to you know, further along a goal that.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
We have, you know, I mean, but you also like
don't want to work yourself into the ground and like, yes,
being in a band, I guess for like a is work,
but you don't want to get to the point where
it's not enjoyable at all or it's literally just it
feels like let me go clock in and post some
(20:19):
stuff on Facebook.
Speaker 5 (20:20):
And recording this demo and blah blah blah. That's the
thing is like when when we're all together and we're
all like doing this, like it doesn't feel like work
at all.
Speaker 13 (20:30):
Yeah, it's fun to me. Yeah, this is what we
want to do. That's why we're in the band, you
know what I mean. Yeah, that's just what it takes
nowadays to get where you want to go. You just
have to be active, constantly thinking about shit.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
So yeah, planning and thinking of things and having I guess,
like like game plans about how you want to go
about things, and like thinking like months ahead. Like I know,
I've talked to a couple of people that are like, oh,
we're planning stuff for like May. I'm like, Jesus, yeah
(21:07):
March yet.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
Yeah, but we're pretty much in the same boat.
Speaker 6 (21:13):
Yeah, planning some stuff for four or five six months away,
for next year even.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
Yeah, for next next year. Jeez, yeah, I haven't. I
haven't thought that far. Can I get to my birthday first?
He's in March and so is my husband, So if
I can get to our birthday, then then we can
start thinking about the next year. Yeah. My birthday is
(21:40):
also at the end of March, so nice. Just give
me till then and I'll get it together a premise.
Speaker 8 (21:46):
That's when my years starts. My birthday happens New Year. Yeah,
New Year, Nate year. I've lived about twenty year.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
That's funny. So I didn't I probably should have asked
this at the beginning, but we kind of got sidetracked
talking about other things. I was curious, kind of because
every everyone's story is just a little bit different. I
was wondering how you guys you know, came to be
(22:26):
and how you became the band that is sitting in
front of me right now.
Speaker 12 (22:31):
That's a long runlet mere Yeah, yeah, check, Well who
wants to that you want to?
Speaker 2 (22:42):
I'll start?
Speaker 11 (22:43):
Uh So, if we if we're if we're going, if
we're going, if we're going deep on this sixty Yeah,
sixty right. Me and Nate were in our first band
still name it now ten ten years ago now, and
(23:06):
so we've known each other, I think the longest out
of anybody within the band.
Speaker 10 (23:13):
Then.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
But I actually went to high school with Devon.
Speaker 11 (23:16):
So after the first band kind of dissolved, Me and
Devin started a different band. Eventually Joel made his way
into that band. So all the three of us were
in our previous band, and.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
I also filled in once or twice, yeah.
Speaker 4 (23:33):
And Nate did.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Nate did fill in a couple of times, so he
was still involved. And then in.
Speaker 11 (23:41):
Twenty eighteen we started having an idea for this band
while we were still in the last band. Then eventually
we got there in twenty nineteen, where it was still
technically just the three of us Me, Devin and Joel.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
Nate joined in.
Speaker 11 (24:03):
Late twenty twenty one, in like November of twenty twenty one,
and then Bob joined in like May of last year.
So that's kind of the whole timeline of the band
at this point, I would say, So it's technically a
ten year and never if you want to think about
it that deeply.
Speaker 14 (24:23):
Right, The idea was conceived in twenty nineteen but we
all know what happened in twenty twenty, and so it
took a lot of It took a lot of time
to actually get the ball rolling with the with the
idea itself, Like we were playing nobody was really playing
shows twenty twenty into twenty twenty one.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
So that's why it kind of took another year after
that to really solidify what we're trying to do all
as a group and you know, push forward.
Speaker 5 (24:52):
So like that's when we released the the EP, our
first EP in twenty twenty three. That EP is called
seven Deadly not a bad ep. Go stream that too.
But yeah, so basically, you know, with with COVID happening
in twenty twenty, I put the Idea on hiatus, and
(25:13):
finally when everybody kind of you know, got their situation settled,
we hit the ground running.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
Right on, right on. So kind of a piggyback question,
I guess what was uh during you know, during the
COVID year when we couldn't do anything, what like new
hobby did you pick up other than anything related to music,
Like what did you start doing that? Like you know
(25:47):
that was something different that you didn't think you would
pick up. I think mine was this a little bit
after Yeah, so this and I started, uh, I started
reading comics again, and I didn't start collecting again until
I think twenty twenty two. Shout out my husband Matthew
(26:09):
for taking me comic shopping and getting.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
Shout out Matt. So what I ended up picking up
was we just stopped eating. That was just I got
COVID and I stopped eating.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
You poor things.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
It was not really it was a time.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
It's it's not pleasant. I've had it, and I worked
at the hospital during twenty twenty so I saw Nice
is bad. But you know, we're here.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Right anyway, we're kicking.
Speaker 5 (26:41):
But what I picked up was like video editing and
if I'm gonna get nerdy about it, I got into
analog glitch like Glinch synthesis with with like old TVs
and stuff like that. I started making beats, you know,
like selling beats online, basically picking up most of my
(27:02):
COVID time right there, Nice, I.
Speaker 11 (27:07):
Kind of just doubled down into my video games and
being depressed.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
It where we're being real here. But yeah, it was
just a lot of reading, a lot.
Speaker 11 (27:20):
Of video games, movies, just pretty much anything that past
the time.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
So COVID. I mean, I feel like that's that resonates
with a lot of people.
Speaker 12 (27:31):
I think, so, yeah, don't Yeah.
Speaker 6 (27:36):
So, like three of us weren't construction in the band,
and at the time, our our company was like kind
of dried up from work around here because obviously Covid
was shutting everything down. But we got like a job
offer in Florida. So I ended up working in Florida
for like ten months during twenty twenty.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Oh wow.
Speaker 6 (27:54):
And so I didn't really per se, like pick up
any hobbies except for, like, we were writing a lot
of the Seven Deadly EP during that time. So I
would be flying back and forth from Florida and I'd
come home and i'd you know, maybe write the drums
for a song or two at that time, and then
fly back down and we'd work. And it was just
(28:15):
kind of that's all I did in twenty twenty, back
and forth.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
He'd come home, like, hey, George, shook us up. We
had like five demos, was going to work on fine.
Speaker 15 (28:28):
I just started. I was fishing a lot. I had
a bunch of times. I had a bunch of time
on my hands because my job. I was doing construction too,
and we were kind of dried.
Speaker 16 (28:40):
Up to and uh I started skateboarding a whole lot
too at the time, so nice.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
Yeah, I ended up hurting myself, so I stopped.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
Because okay, maybe not so nice.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Get Yeah, I mean I was like, damn, that kind
of hurt.
Speaker 9 (28:54):
Maybe I shouldn't do this. Yeah, yeah, I kind of heard,
so I'm chilling. Yeah, nothing nothing too crazy though.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
Did you want to catch any anything interesting while you
were fishing?
Speaker 2 (29:13):
Just more mountain dan Ah, nothing, nothing notable, honestly, just
a body.
Speaker 9 (29:22):
Yeah, it was just I gotta we got like a
couple of lakes that I was going around here, but
it's there's nothing too a cop.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
We're not calling river monsters or anything.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
Nah, No, probably just a sewer monster. But that one back, jeez,
what you got, Bob. We didn't even know Bobby back then. Yeah,
probably just getting this driver's license.
Speaker 5 (29:55):
I mean in twenty twenty, uh, my company was we
were still functioning like normal.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
You were essential, Yeah, I guess we were essential.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
Same.
Speaker 4 (30:06):
I mean, I don't know, things just kind of stayed.
Speaker 6 (30:08):
Normal for me for the most part, except like gym
shut down, so that kind of sucks.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Got pretty bummed out about stuff. Hell, yeah.
Speaker 5 (30:18):
Yeah, I did a lot of video games, but a
lot of guitar drank a.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
Lot, you know. Oh geez. So I'm getting all in moderation,
A moderation that was a good time.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
Twenty was not good for anyone. Twenty twenty sucked, and
we're not going to talk about it anymore. That's what
I'm getting from this. Yeah. No, But like I said,
I was working so it it sucked. It was weird,
I was a lot of it. I saw some really
weird ship but I got to see some pretty cool
(30:56):
medical stuff, so that was neat. I guess well I
changed since changed career paths. I work with autistic adolescents.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
And adults now, so awesome. Thanks.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
Yeah, it's it's an interesting career path for obvious reasons.
I can't like say, like specific specifics, but working with
them has been a really great and pleasant experience, and
I've learned a lot about like people and things that
I didn't think I would get to learn. And plus
(31:33):
like a lot of the kids that I get to
work with, they're so stinking cute. You just want to
most your little faces, but don't do that because you
know you might get bit.
Speaker 12 (31:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
Yeah, but no, it's it's a good time. I'm definitely
thankful for the career that I have. But anyways, chucking
right along. So I was looking I just kind of
switching gears a little bit. I was looking at you
guys as socials to see what shows and things you
had coming up. And it looks like you guys have
(32:09):
a show the Saturday next Saturday. Yep, height there you go,
got it at a hot dog bar. I saw the
I watched a little before it a couple of times
because I was like, this is just great.
Speaker 6 (32:28):
Yeah that that wasn't just a design for the flyer.
That's like, that's fully representative of what that night's going to.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
Be about it. Oh yeah, I love it.
Speaker 5 (32:39):
Saturday Night full of Wieners with our boys, unvalid, our
boys and unity.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
It's a free show too, so anybody can get a
free Wiener and buy a hot dog.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
For legal reasons. Uh, this was a joke.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
For legal reasons.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
This was a joke. But now that I do like
the fly though, the flyer is dope. And then in February,
you guys have another show my correct.
Speaker 4 (33:16):
Oh yeah, eight February.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
With Midwinter in Grave and Glass Waves and that is
February twenty seconds at the Foundry Concert Clube.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
Yep, that's gonna be the new Foundry location over here.
Speaker 5 (33:32):
The Foundry had a big staple in Lakewood and they're
moving to a new location and really staked to play
that one, especially with their boys and move winter.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
I heard.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
I had heard about them moving, but I didn't know
the specifics because I'm not from the area, so I
didn't hear a whole whole lot. But that's cool that
they are getting getting things back up and running and such.
Speaker 4 (33:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (33:57):
Yeah, we were sad to see the whole location go
because we had all pretty much like played in the
scene for the last I don't know ten years and
played a lot of our if not first shows, a
lot of our like most important shows there, and it's
just a very intimate venue, especially when you have big
bands coming through. You can, you know, meet your favorite
people and you're up close and personal with them, and
(34:19):
then you know, I guess, I guess. The landlord wasn't,
you know, renewing their lease, so they had to find
a new place, which luckily they did, and we can
still work with the same people we were working with before,
and everything should just transition smoothly hopefully.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
Yeah, I definitely hope. So I wish kind of really,
I wish that there were more venues like in my
area because right now where I live, every decent venue
is at least an hour and a half away from me.
Speaker 10 (34:52):
So like West Virginia, right, Virginia, Oh, just Virginia, Okay,
just Virginia, normal.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
Like venues like Another Round the Canal Club. Everything is
far away from me, which kind of sucks, but it
makes it. It makes each show like special because a
I don't get to go to a whole whole lot
of them and be because it's you know, a whole thing.
I usually have to plan like a whole day in
(35:29):
advance for everything, so you're spending a whole day either
driving at the show or driving home from the show.
So it's definitely like meaning for sure, meaningful, and it's
you know, it's a whole event to get to these things.
Speaker 4 (35:46):
Yeah, it makes it special, right.
Speaker 1 (35:48):
Yeah, absolutely, Well, guys, I think that might just about
do it. I have enjoyed talking with you, and one
last thing before we go, I know we talked about
shows and such. Is there anything else coming up that
(36:09):
we should be looking out for?
Speaker 2 (36:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 16 (36:12):
You said, this is coming out next Saturday, right, yep, Yeah,
so we could talk about that. We're er going to
be going on tour to support our new EP don
in five. Yeah, so we're going to be in about
ten cities. Keep an eye out for that. We'll be
posting on our social media, so go check us out

What is up?
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Guys.
Speaker 1 (00:03):
Welcome back to another episode of the Misfit Minutes podcast.
I'm your host, of course, Jady. If you're around here, welcome.
If you're not around here, welcome back to the chaos.
So for today's episode, I have not one, not two,
not three, not four, but five very special guests with me.
I have Joel Nate, Devin Brandon, and Bobby from sixty.
Welcome guys.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Hello, yo, yo yo.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Glad to have you, Glad to have you. Thank you
guys for coming on. I appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Of course, thanks for having us on.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Thank you absolutely, I'm glad we could get this done.
So first things first, I'm gonna roast you because you
are you guys are called sixty and there's five of yous.
Is there like an imaginary member that we don't know about?
Speaker 3 (00:51):
We have a secret member. We are in fact sixty.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
This guy's been there from the beginning. Man, he's literally
the six. So he's just a guy.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
He does.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
He just comes to all our shows.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
He does our merge, you know, like a rabid dog.
And we kept him around.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
All right, just kick him out, like hey bye.
Speaker 5 (01:28):
You're just gonna make faces at us behind the screen
mostly Joel does that does.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
It kicking out?
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Also, Joel's the culprit, and I see how it sounds
about right, it's got a reputation. Bro, Nah, it's because
it's because your name starts with the jay. We we
got to stick together, you know, right, Yeah, but.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
We'll take that rose. That's that's fine. But now you
know there's a.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Now we know, ladies and gentlemen don't come. Don't come
for these guys because they will. They will let you
know real quick. Our name is not dumb. We named
it like that for a reason. But that is really
cool though, that you have that extra person to kind
of help step in and do things and whatnot.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
It's cool. I wouldn't go that far.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
It just shows up.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Like I heard y'all had a show today, so I
decided to show. The show is in I don't know,
somewhere obscure like Texas. Mhm, Like how did you get here?
You know, I drove.
Speaker 5 (02:53):
Under the ID, I paid a carry and that's what
it is.
Speaker 6 (03:04):
No, but honestly, uh, Sean's been one of my best
friends since like twenty thirteen, and we've always stuck around
with each other. And once I got into this band
and everything kept rolling. We uh just had him always
hanging out at practices, coming to shows with us, even
ride into the shows with us and stuff and hanging
out at the merch table. So he's uh, he's really
(03:25):
been one of us the whole time. So it's it's
been a cool thing to have for sure.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Awesome, he's our dollar.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
He's stop.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
So you mentioned.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Now that you're in this band. I know you guys
started in twenty nineteen. Is that correct?
Speaker 4 (03:48):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Yeah, technically technically allegedly.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Yeah, the page was me, I guess.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Yeah, the roughest so rapid fire. How many bands have
you been in? Start from this end?
Speaker 2 (04:08):
By three? Three bands?
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Three, four, four? If you say five, I swore it.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Yeah, I'm gonna have to think it might be that.
Speaker 7 (04:26):
Shoot one two such a rapid fire about about six Yeah,
Oh she didn't say rapid fire, My bad.
Speaker 8 (04:38):
Yeah six, I've been in five five.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
Mm hmm, I've been in two two Okay.
Speaker 6 (04:47):
Bobby's first show was like last year, two years year
and a half ago?
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Wow, yeah, two years?
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Ever?
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Ever, dang, what was that like?
Speaker 8 (04:59):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (04:59):
No, racking? It was it was fun.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
It was fun.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Did they give you a really hard time, dude, you
fucked up the thing.
Speaker 6 (05:08):
I was with a different band, but uh yeah, I
mean it wasn't It was.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
A first show. It went over as well as.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
I could have wanted it to.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
M Well, that's cool.
Speaker 6 (05:22):
It actually first show was in another band during our
first show as a band, and then like a few
like shows later, they kind of broke.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
Up and then we picked Bobby up and scabbed them off.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
The streets.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Were much you were scout playing scheming even though that's right,
you were watching like them. Some guys that come and
watch the high school football players are like, hmmm.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
See the potential draft Bobby drafted. Imagine if there was
a draft, like for the NFL, but for like bands,
Oh god, it would.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Be that's actually crazy.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Yeah, write that down.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Write that down. Draft kings, you guys want on some ship.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
That would be really fun, like interesting that Like, people
just submit their stuff on draftings and then you can
build your band based on whatever you see that you like,
and then you know, if your band comes to fruition,
you get money forward or whatever.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
The Fantasy Band League basically.
Speaker 9 (06:37):
The only way that there's money in being in a
band is that other people can.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
They look through the rosters and there's like, you know,
I think six Deep is gonna take it this year.
I'm thinking a little oh yeah now, and look from
what I've seen, I mean, you guys have done some
You guys did some pretty cool and interesting stuff over
you know, last year and seeping into this year. I know.
(07:07):
You guys released an EP in December which I did
check out, and guys, if you have not checked it out,
I highly suggest that you hit pass, go listen to
their EP, and then come back to this episode. Okay, thanks,
You've listened to the Holy EP and it is fire,
so now you can listen to the rest of the conversation.
Speaker 10 (07:26):
Thanks.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Oh yeah, quick, What is you guys's like favorite song
on the EP?
Speaker 5 (07:37):
My favorite song is probably probably Remnants, fast paced song,
kind of straight to the point, angry lyrics, good song.
Speaker 11 (07:51):
It's hard for me to pick a favorite, but lyrically,
the most like impactful one for me is probably All
the Blood.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
It's a pretty emotional song for me, so I picked
that one.
Speaker 12 (08:02):
I think, all right.
Speaker 6 (08:04):
I'd say my favorite to play is probably the Disconnect.
That's the most like fun to play on drums, and
then the one I like to listen to. The most
is All but Blood for sure. For what Brandon said,
it's it's got the most emotion to it. I think, Yeah,
that's what I would pick. Two is All the Blood.
It's just got a crazy vibe. It's it's something different
(08:26):
that not a lot of people can.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Really pull off. I feel like, and that song is
pretty sick, so I'd probably say.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
Right now it's nice a pass.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Yeah, I really I love like the fast stuff. I
love like the rapid changing kind of like weaving in
and out kind of stuff. I have not been like
around hardcore for a very very long time, but from
the stuff that I've heard and the stuff that I've
(08:58):
interacted with, I find that I like that in between
of not just the hardcore stuff and not just the
death core or metal core or what have you kind
of thing. I like the in between where it has
I call it, like the bite of hardcore, but then
like the riffing and everything else from death corn, you
(09:20):
combine the two ends up being really dope.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Yeah for sure. Hell yeah, I look with.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Who are I guess kind of like some of you
guys's favorite bands to listen to, Like when you're in
the writing process, or what were some bands that are
maybe even just songs that you kind of went back
to as you were writing, uh this EP.
Speaker 5 (09:48):
So I try to stay away from Mettle as much
as possible when I'm in my writing mode, So I'll
listen to a lot of rap and pop music around
that time. One of my favorite all time bands is
So you know. I listened to them probably on a monthly.
On a monthly, I would say repeat, but I listened
to that monthly and uh Plastic kind of like slow
(10:13):
beat down band like Traders. I like them a lot too.
But when the writing process is all like infruition, I
really stay away from metal music completely.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
I gotcha.
Speaker 8 (10:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
I I write like a lot of like Feeder's poetry,
and I find that listening to a little bit of
everything kind.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Of helps.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
I guess kind of developing, because usually it starts like
with like a one or two sentence thing, and then
it develops into like a whole thing that ends up being,
you know, a page full of stuff, which is great,
and like I know, I sometimes go back and edit
things like months later, I'm like, yeah, I don't really
like how that sounded. I might something out or add something,
(11:01):
and it might change based on, you know, the things
that I'm listening to at the time, because I like
to listen to music when i'm writing so I can relate.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
My whole thing is like, I don't want to subconsciously
sound like somebody else.
Speaker 5 (11:15):
I really want to try to experiment and you know,
take inspiration from outside sources other than metal to try
to put into.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
You know, uh I guess a metal way.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Yeah, yeah, I get interesting. Yeah. I feel like a
lot of people feel that way about it too, Like
they try not to not to be a copycat or whatever,
because you can. I feel like you can tell when
people are copying a certain style of someone.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
For sure.
Speaker 6 (11:47):
For sure, it's it's easy to fall into too. You
just like he said, subconsciously do it. Sometimes when we're
write in riffs will be like, oh damn, that sounds
just like so and so song, and we go and
look it up and it's like, shit, it that's like
pretty similar.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
We mean to be fair. If there's so much music
out and there's so many bands, it's almost I won't
say it's impossible, because it's obviously it's possible because you're
doing it, but it's difficult to not sound at least
a tiny bit similar to some things.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Right.
Speaker 5 (12:23):
That's also like when it comes to like being marketable,
like you have to have a you know, a sound
to kind of fit in a place just so you
can market your music alone. Like you can sound like
a completely different band, but you really have to like
dial in on who your audience is to kind of
figure out who you're marketing to.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Right, This is very true. Yeah, being marketable and knowing
your audience and those sorts of things are definitely things
that help you out a lot. Speaking kind of I
guess of like marketability and that sort of stuff. What
was kind of something that you guys learned in that
(13:02):
aspect of things as a band in twenty twenty four?
Speaker 2 (13:07):
How expensive it is? Yeah, lot lots of money.
Speaker 6 (13:11):
Not that it wasn't unexpected or anything, but it was
just kind of like a culture shock. This is like
I think for all of us, the most like successful
you could say, we've ever been in a band maybe,
so a lot of the expenses come along with that.
And you know, we just we played by year. We
try to make smart decisions and you know, see where
(13:34):
it goes. It's it's kind of an all kind of
big experiment at this point, you know, yeah, yeah, I
feel you.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Yes. Music is definitely expensive. It's expensive to be a
part of, it's expensive to like, yeah, expensive to enjoy like,
And I feel like anytime you go to a show,
you're looking to spend On average, I would say fifty,
you know, one hundred bucks, because hear me out, you
(14:02):
got to pay to go to the show. So I
don't know, most shows are about fifteen to twenty bucks,
depending on who's playing and all that. And if you're
like me, I always tip the door. So if the
show is ten bucks, I'm paying fifteen. If the shows yeah,
or at least I try to anyway, just because especially
if it's ran by somebody that I know, like, you know,
(14:23):
to try to help out, you know, whatever do in
my park. But anyhow, so you're paying to get in
the door, that's fifteen to twenty bucks ish, and then
you're paying for merch, which is on average from anywhere
from five to I don't know, thirty to forty bucks
depending on if you buy a shirt or a hoodie
or hat or both or all three, who knows. So
(14:47):
that's forty bucks right there, and you got if you
go to the bar, they have a bar, You got food, drinks,
the gas money to get there, and before you know it,
you spend one hundred bucks. No, yeah, but I mean
it's I mean, it's definitely worth it. I'm not complaining.
I'm glad that we have this lovely music scene that
(15:08):
we get to interact with, but.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Godly, yeah, I get it. And especially with the prices
of shows going up recently, Like I remember whenever I'd
be able to see like Silver Seeing and day Seeker
for thirty dollars, but now you know, there's there's some
shows that are around here that are thirty to forty dollars.
I'm like, man, the prices are just going up for
(15:31):
the ticket themselves.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
And unlike these, like like big festivals too, you forget,
especially if there's like I hate you know, it's the
only way to describe them, like the legacy bands, like
the bands that have been doing this for twenty thirty
forty years that everyone wants to see like before they're done,
(15:54):
or bands that like they maybe grew up with, or
bands that they're close with, what have you, and then
they're going to see those. And most of these festivals
are costed, like I don't know, three hundred bucks depending
on which festival and where and how how early you
buy your ticket and and you know, after a while,
(16:15):
I don't know, it's a lot. I think the last
big festival that I went to was the Blue Ridge
Rock Fest, and I just I haven't been back since.
They haven't had it since. So was that last year
or no, I think it was. I think it was
(16:36):
the year before that is when it was either year
before that it was the last year that they had it,
because that was the year that it rained and flooded
and everything. That's not enough flooded, but like the had
the big storm come through when they canceled it, and
then the weather was fine like the next day, so
everybody was really mad.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Forget that.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Yeah, I didn't go that year. I went like a
year or two before that, and it was a good time.
It was hot. The wait was long, you know, it
is what it is. I missed a bunch of bands
that I really wanted to see, Like I had, I
had bands on my list that I really wanted to
see and didn't get to see because I was standing
(17:22):
in line waiting for the shuttle for like, I think
the longest we waited was four hours or more. I think,
I think if I remember correctly, because the way that
the lines were set up, it was like it would
snake around, so you would think you were, oh, cool,
We're almost at the end, and it would snake back around.
You be like nope, just kidding, You're like no. And
(17:44):
I kept getting videos of like people like seeing the
bands that I wanted to see, and I was like, dang.
Speaker 5 (17:49):
It, it's like a first come, first sin do pretty much.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Yeah, we got there too late, but you know what,
it's all good. I still got to see some cool bands,
and it was it was all right, a good time.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Good.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Yeah. When you guys aren't, like, I guess, for lack
of a word, like if you're not terribly busy, like
you don't have a lot of stuff on your calendar
as a band, how often do you go to shows?
Speaker 9 (18:23):
Mhm.
Speaker 6 (18:25):
It's tough sometimes because a lot of the shows around us,
they're they're like at least an hour away from where
we are where we practice. Centrally, we try to go
to as many like homie shows as we can. We've
got a lot of friends in the scene obviously, and uh,
you know, it's uh a lot of times we're practicing
when when other people are playing shows too, So we're
(18:46):
we're trying to stay a little locked in on doing that.
And if not that, we've got a lot of business
endeavors that we tackle while we're not actually playing shows too.
So I don't know, I'd say we go, we go
see was at least like once a month maybe with people?
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Yeah, yeah, that's about average for most most people, especially
people that are in their own bands and have you know,
things going on. I'd probably say I go to probably
about about one show them on depending.
Speaker 4 (19:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Yeah, I work.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
Fun too, because I mean.
Speaker 5 (19:24):
The way that I think about my life is it's
seventy percent work and then another thirty percent work.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
And so so.
Speaker 5 (19:34):
I get home from from my day job, right and
so the first thing I'm thinking about is like, you know,
what can I do to like work on something towards
you know, while I'm trying to, like the the goals
I'm trying to accomplish in the band. So a lot
of that time is just taken up like that. If
I have like free time, I'm almost kicking myself in
the butt thinking like, oh what I could be doing
(19:54):
something right now to you know, further along a goal that.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
We have, you know, I mean, but you also like
don't want to work yourself into the ground and like, yes,
being in a band, I guess for like a is work,
but you don't want to get to the point where
it's not enjoyable at all or it's literally just it
feels like let me go clock in and post some
(20:19):
stuff on Facebook.
Speaker 5 (20:20):
And recording this demo and blah blah blah. That's the
thing is like when when we're all together and we're
all like doing this, like it doesn't feel like work
at all.
Speaker 13 (20:30):
Yeah, it's fun to me. Yeah, this is what we
want to do. That's why we're in the band, you
know what I mean. Yeah, that's just what it takes
nowadays to get where you want to go. You just
have to be active, constantly thinking about shit.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
So yeah, planning and thinking of things and having I guess,
like like game plans about how you want to go
about things, and like thinking like months ahead. Like I know,
I've talked to a couple of people that are like, oh,
we're planning stuff for like May. I'm like, Jesus, yeah
(21:07):
March yet.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
Yeah, but we're pretty much in the same boat.
Speaker 6 (21:13):
Yeah, planning some stuff for four or five six months away,
for next year even.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
Yeah, for next next year. Jeez, yeah, I haven't. I
haven't thought that far. Can I get to my birthday first?
He's in March and so is my husband, So if
I can get to our birthday, then then we can
start thinking about the next year. Yeah. My birthday is
(21:40):
also at the end of March, so nice. Just give
me till then and I'll get it together a premise.
Speaker 8 (21:46):
That's when my years starts. My birthday happens New Year. Yeah,
New Year, Nate year. I've lived about twenty year.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
That's funny. So I didn't I probably should have asked
this at the beginning, but we kind of got sidetracked
talking about other things. I was curious, kind of because
every everyone's story is just a little bit different. I
was wondering how you guys you know, came to be
(22:26):
and how you became the band that is sitting in
front of me right now.
Speaker 12 (22:31):
That's a long runlet mere Yeah, yeah, check, Well who
wants to that you want to?
Speaker 2 (22:42):
I'll start?
Speaker 11 (22:43):
Uh So, if we if we're if we're going, if
we're going, if we're going deep on this sixty Yeah,
sixty right. Me and Nate were in our first band
still name it now ten ten years ago now, and
(23:06):
so we've known each other, I think the longest out
of anybody within the band.
Speaker 10 (23:13):
Then.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
But I actually went to high school with Devon.
Speaker 11 (23:16):
So after the first band kind of dissolved, Me and
Devin started a different band. Eventually Joel made his way
into that band. So all the three of us were
in our previous band, and.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
I also filled in once or twice, yeah.
Speaker 4 (23:33):
And Nate did.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Nate did fill in a couple of times, so he
was still involved. And then in.
Speaker 11 (23:41):
Twenty eighteen we started having an idea for this band
while we were still in the last band. Then eventually
we got there in twenty nineteen, where it was still
technically just the three of us Me, Devin and Joel.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
Nate joined in.
Speaker 11 (24:03):
Late twenty twenty one, in like November of twenty twenty one,
and then Bob joined in like May of last year.
So that's kind of the whole timeline of the band
at this point, I would say, So it's technically a
ten year and never if you want to think about
it that deeply.
Speaker 14 (24:23):
Right, The idea was conceived in twenty nineteen but we
all know what happened in twenty twenty, and so it
took a lot of It took a lot of time
to actually get the ball rolling with the with the
idea itself, Like we were playing nobody was really playing
shows twenty twenty into twenty twenty one.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
So that's why it kind of took another year after
that to really solidify what we're trying to do all
as a group and you know, push forward.
Speaker 5 (24:52):
So like that's when we released the the EP, our
first EP in twenty twenty three. That EP is called
seven Deadly not a bad ep. Go stream that too.
But yeah, so basically, you know, with with COVID happening
in twenty twenty, I put the Idea on hiatus, and
(25:13):
finally when everybody kind of you know, got their situation settled,
we hit the ground running.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
Right on, right on. So kind of a piggyback question,
I guess what was uh during you know, during the
COVID year when we couldn't do anything, what like new
hobby did you pick up other than anything related to music,
Like what did you start doing that? Like you know
(25:47):
that was something different that you didn't think you would
pick up. I think mine was this a little bit
after Yeah, so this and I started, uh, I started
reading comics again, and I didn't start collecting again until
I think twenty twenty two. Shout out my husband Matthew
(26:09):
for taking me comic shopping and getting.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
Shout out Matt. So what I ended up picking up
was we just stopped eating. That was just I got
COVID and I stopped eating.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
You poor things.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
It was not really it was a time.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
It's it's not pleasant. I've had it, and I worked
at the hospital during twenty twenty so I saw Nice
is bad. But you know, we're here.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Right anyway, we're kicking.
Speaker 5 (26:41):
But what I picked up was like video editing and
if I'm gonna get nerdy about it, I got into
analog glitch like Glinch synthesis with with like old TVs
and stuff like that. I started making beats, you know,
like selling beats online, basically picking up most of my
(27:02):
COVID time right there, Nice, I.
Speaker 11 (27:07):
Kind of just doubled down into my video games and
being depressed.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
It where we're being real here. But yeah, it was
just a lot of reading, a lot.
Speaker 11 (27:20):
Of video games, movies, just pretty much anything that past
the time.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
So COVID. I mean, I feel like that's that resonates
with a lot of people.
Speaker 12 (27:31):
I think, so, yeah, don't Yeah.
Speaker 6 (27:36):
So, like three of us weren't construction in the band,
and at the time, our our company was like kind
of dried up from work around here because obviously Covid
was shutting everything down. But we got like a job
offer in Florida. So I ended up working in Florida
for like ten months during twenty twenty.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Oh wow.
Speaker 6 (27:54):
And so I didn't really per se, like pick up
any hobbies except for, like, we were writing a lot
of the Seven Deadly EP during that time. So I
would be flying back and forth from Florida and I'd
come home and i'd you know, maybe write the drums
for a song or two at that time, and then
fly back down and we'd work. And it was just
(28:15):
kind of that's all I did in twenty twenty, back
and forth.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
He'd come home, like, hey, George, shook us up. We
had like five demos, was going to work on fine.
Speaker 15 (28:28):
I just started. I was fishing a lot. I had
a bunch of times. I had a bunch of time
on my hands because my job. I was doing construction too,
and we were kind of dried.
Speaker 16 (28:40):
Up to and uh I started skateboarding a whole lot
too at the time, so nice.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
Yeah, I ended up hurting myself, so I stopped.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
Because okay, maybe not so nice.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Get Yeah, I mean I was like, damn, that kind
of hurt.
Speaker 9 (28:54):
Maybe I shouldn't do this. Yeah, yeah, I kind of heard,
so I'm chilling. Yeah, nothing nothing too crazy though.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
Did you want to catch any anything interesting while you
were fishing?
Speaker 2 (29:13):
Just more mountain dan Ah, nothing, nothing notable, honestly, just
a body.
Speaker 9 (29:22):
Yeah, it was just I gotta we got like a
couple of lakes that I was going around here, but
it's there's nothing too a cop.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
We're not calling river monsters or anything.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
Nah, No, probably just a sewer monster. But that one back, jeez,
what you got, Bob. We didn't even know Bobby back then. Yeah,
probably just getting this driver's license.
Speaker 5 (29:55):
I mean in twenty twenty, uh, my company was we
were still functioning like normal.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
You were essential, Yeah, I guess we were essential.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
Same.
Speaker 4 (30:06):
I mean, I don't know, things just kind of stayed.
Speaker 6 (30:08):
Normal for me for the most part, except like gym
shut down, so that kind of sucks.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Got pretty bummed out about stuff. Hell, yeah.
Speaker 5 (30:18):
Yeah, I did a lot of video games, but a
lot of guitar drank a.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
Lot, you know. Oh geez. So I'm getting all in moderation,
A moderation that was a good time.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
Twenty was not good for anyone. Twenty twenty sucked, and
we're not going to talk about it anymore. That's what
I'm getting from this. Yeah. No, But like I said,
I was working so it it sucked. It was weird,
I was a lot of it. I saw some really
weird ship but I got to see some pretty cool
(30:56):
medical stuff, so that was neat. I guess well I
changed since changed career paths. I work with autistic adolescents.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
And adults now, so awesome. Thanks.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
Yeah, it's it's an interesting career path for obvious reasons.
I can't like say, like specific specifics, but working with
them has been a really great and pleasant experience, and
I've learned a lot about like people and things that
I didn't think I would get to learn. And plus
(31:33):
like a lot of the kids that I get to
work with, they're so stinking cute. You just want to
most your little faces, but don't do that because you
know you might get bit.
Speaker 12 (31:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
Yeah, but no, it's it's a good time. I'm definitely
thankful for the career that I have. But anyways, chucking
right along. So I was looking I just kind of
switching gears a little bit. I was looking at you
guys as socials to see what shows and things you
had coming up. And it looks like you guys have
(32:09):
a show the Saturday next Saturday. Yep, height there you go,
got it at a hot dog bar. I saw the
I watched a little before it a couple of times
because I was like, this is just great.
Speaker 6 (32:28):
Yeah that that wasn't just a design for the flyer.
That's like, that's fully representative of what that night's going to.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
Be about it. Oh yeah, I love it.
Speaker 5 (32:39):
Saturday Night full of Wieners with our boys, unvalid, our
boys and unity.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
It's a free show too, so anybody can get a
free Wiener and buy a hot dog.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
For legal reasons. Uh, this was a joke.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
For legal reasons.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
This was a joke. But now that I do like
the fly though, the flyer is dope. And then in February,
you guys have another show my correct.
Speaker 4 (33:16):
Oh yeah, eight February.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
With Midwinter in Grave and Glass Waves and that is
February twenty seconds at the Foundry Concert Clube.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
Yep, that's gonna be the new Foundry location over here.
Speaker 5 (33:32):
The Foundry had a big staple in Lakewood and they're
moving to a new location and really staked to play
that one, especially with their boys and move winter.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
I heard.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
I had heard about them moving, but I didn't know
the specifics because I'm not from the area, so I
didn't hear a whole whole lot. But that's cool that
they are getting getting things back up and running and such.
Speaker 4 (33:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (33:57):
Yeah, we were sad to see the whole location go
because we had all pretty much like played in the
scene for the last I don't know ten years and
played a lot of our if not first shows, a
lot of our like most important shows there, and it's
just a very intimate venue, especially when you have big
bands coming through. You can, you know, meet your favorite
people and you're up close and personal with them, and
(34:19):
then you know, I guess, I guess. The landlord wasn't,
you know, renewing their lease, so they had to find
a new place, which luckily they did, and we can
still work with the same people we were working with before,
and everything should just transition smoothly hopefully.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
Yeah, I definitely hope. So I wish kind of really,
I wish that there were more venues like in my
area because right now where I live, every decent venue
is at least an hour and a half away from me.
Speaker 10 (34:52):
So like West Virginia, right, Virginia, Oh, just Virginia, Okay,
just Virginia, normal.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
Like venues like Another Round the Canal Club. Everything is
far away from me, which kind of sucks, but it
makes it. It makes each show like special because a
I don't get to go to a whole whole lot
of them and be because it's you know, a whole thing.
I usually have to plan like a whole day in
(35:29):
advance for everything, so you're spending a whole day either
driving at the show or driving home from the show.
So it's definitely like meaning for sure, meaningful, and it's
you know, it's a whole event to get to these things.
Speaker 4 (35:46):
Yeah, it makes it special, right.
Speaker 1 (35:48):
Yeah, absolutely, Well, guys, I think that might just about
do it. I have enjoyed talking with you, and one
last thing before we go, I know we talked about
shows and such. Is there anything else coming up that
(36:09):
we should be looking out for?
Speaker 2 (36:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 16 (36:12):
You said, this is coming out next Saturday, right, yep, Yeah,
so we could talk about that. We're er going to
be going on tour to support our new EP don

ten cities. Keep an eye out for that. We'll be
