Speaker 1 (00:18):
I am your host with the Socks that were Rocks,
Adam Richmond, and this is your official podcast of Wrocklahoma,
Surviving Rock Oklahoma, and I'm once again joined by some
of my friends Color of Chaos.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
What do you do?

Speaker 1 (00:33):
It is so good to see you guys again.

Speaker 3 (00:36):
Have you been. It's a good thing when we're this
far away from Arizona and we're playing in Oklahoma, and
then we know people already.

Speaker 2 (00:43):
A home away from home, our new family and friends.
That is pretty cool. We love being here. We are
so happy that they had us back again first.

Speaker 4 (00:50):
And do you know what, it was nice to be
on stage and look over and see you out there
rocking out today.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
I saw that.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
Oh man, I am not shy. You guys had me going, man,
I was failing.

Speaker 3 (01:00):
You can't be interviewing us and then say what a
great show and you weren't there.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
I mean I heard from the ship or that you
were pretty good.

Speaker 1 (01:09):
You did though, you guys, you guys rocked it. Can
you tell me a little bit about the performance?

Speaker 4 (01:15):
Well, you know, uh, it was our first time on
the Renegade stage this year. We feel, you know, we
didn't know what to expect. You know, I think this
is second year we've opened up. This open up opened
up a day, right.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
You know, and uh so you never know what to expect.

Speaker 4 (01:29):
Does everybody hungover? Is anybody gonna show up?

Speaker 3 (01:31):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (01:31):
Color chaos? Who you know? And you don't know?

Speaker 4 (01:34):
And it started drizzling when we're doing sound checking. I'm like, oh,
we're cooked. There ain't gonna be nobody here. And may
I tell you about halfway through that intro, you just
saw the mobs of people just coming towards the stage.

Speaker 2 (01:43):
We're like, oh, it's on. That's cool. I was our
concern because every year it rains, you know, I mean,
we were just I was.

Speaker 3 (01:50):
I've been following the weather for the last couple of weeks. Man,
it's like, man, I wonder if it's how it's gonna be,
And it seems like it never.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
It always rains.

Speaker 4 (01:59):
We're especially old now now we watch like the Doppler
to Doppler app and stuff like, oh my god, we
might be screwed.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
Better pack of track.

Speaker 3 (02:05):
Us because we work outside so I do construction inspection.
He's a full guy. So you're like, oh my god,
is it coming. But for us it's rare. You know,
but when it is, it hits hard. So anyways, that's
the jobs we have to have because.

Speaker 4 (02:19):
Stayed around every storm every year if we played you
know what I mean.

Speaker 3 (02:22):
So today we're like, oh, it's actually gonna rain while
we're here, because we missed it every time we've been here.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
It's the day before or day after.

Speaker 3 (02:29):
So so we were so glad that, you know, you
got a promotion on the Reneglade stage and it was
just it was exciting to be on that stage.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
It really was so.

Speaker 1 (02:40):
I like it. Guys. Now, do you ever have to
like struggle performing in weather?

Speaker 2 (02:48):
Well, no, no, not really. Listen, you're not getting shocked.
It's if it's.

Speaker 4 (02:54):
Super hot, sticks will fly to my hands, his neck
will be slippier, you know, yeah, stuff like that. But
most of the time, no, you know, a lot of
performances just based on the energy that the crowd gives,
you know. I think it's just kind of like and
I think all musicians are able to pick up on
that real quick and just being like, all right, these
guys are thirsty. You know, I'm here this do this.

Speaker 3 (03:14):
You know, I've played a cover band and believe it
or not, Arizona does get really cold at night. I
have a gig that I play everyone, so it's a
biker bar and they put us outside.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
It was so freaking cold. Man, she's looking, Oh yeah,
that baby right there, my wife. Anyways, it got so cold.

Speaker 3 (03:35):
I had a jacket on and gloves on in it.
And you know, as as one gets older, those fingers
those did just start to freeze up.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
Man, when you're older in it.

Speaker 3 (03:44):
It was yeah, the cold, Yeah, the cold sucks.

Speaker 2 (03:48):
Was older than you know some anyways.

Speaker 3 (03:52):
Man. Yeah, so it depends on the you know, well,
like two years ago, three are basebar lance.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
He he passed out after the after the after after,
ended up in a medic tent, medic tent everything.

Speaker 3 (04:04):
So we've been preparing drinking like everybody's hydrate, hydrant, hydrate, and.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
Today it's been so nice that you don't you don't
have to really hydrate.

Speaker 4 (04:12):
I hydrated the ship out of Michael.

Speaker 2 (04:14):
Ultra last night. Yeah, he was gonna remember where he
was at last. We got to play tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (04:24):
You guys are doing it right then, speaking of you know,
you guys are here, you performed. You guys have got
some stuff going on right now. Tell me a little
bit about what color of Chaos has going on right now.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
You know what.

Speaker 3 (04:39):
We have a single that was released. I sent it
to you, Adam. You should have gotten it a couple
of days ago.

Speaker 2 (04:45):
It's our bass player. I did the bass player Lance.
He was he's a popular guy.

Speaker 3 (04:52):
So again, we just released that single that's been sitting
around for a year.

Speaker 2 (04:56):
We had it locked up. It's it's for a movie.

Speaker 4 (04:59):
The movie have been released, and we're like, all right,
let's just let's just release the song.

Speaker 2 (05:03):
For now, you know, right, So that was pretty cool.
So it came out Friday. What do you mean for now?
For now?

Speaker 3 (05:08):
I mean after a year we held up. We sat
on it for a year, we really did. And you
gotta let it marinate. You don't just thirst in a
bowl and cook it, man, You let simmer.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
There's no marination it. Let's just sit.

Speaker 3 (05:19):
We were waiting for the movie to be released this summer.
We were gonna film a video with with the song
and with scenes out of it because he's in the movie,
lances in the movie, and so we were told it
was gonna come out kind of at the end of summer,
and it hasn't. So, but when it does, we'll well
we're gonna film the video with some scenes of the

(05:39):
movie and then and then you know, introduced it to everybody.

Speaker 2 (05:42):
But we were hoping for that to happen. That's why
it took so long.

Speaker 1 (05:45):
So that's gotta be I don't want to say frustrating,
but hard to like keep a secret. Like, man, we
got a banger right here, and I can't really like
do anything with it.

Speaker 4 (05:57):
Yeah, gets he gets very very very very very antsy.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
Yeah, I do. I want to put the song. Well,
I did a song.

Speaker 4 (06:03):
I'm lucky he's not releasing shit as he's driving home
from the recording studio, you know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (06:07):
Like it check out the new single. Yeah, I am
that guy.

Speaker 3 (06:10):
You know, if you're proud of the song, you want
people to hear it. So it's been itching to get
that song out, you know what I mean. So, but
but it is. It's finally odd. Another thing is that
our the songs about our friend of ours ever passed away.

Speaker 2 (06:23):
The song was go ahead, you can tell them the story.
He wrote it.

Speaker 4 (06:27):
You know, Lance was in a movie and they were
looking at some of our songs and I said, told Lance,
I said, ask them if they want us to write
a song for him and they're like okay, yeah, And
so I came up with a monster because it was
a horror movie, and came up with the hook. And
when it came time to write the lyrics, one of
our friends he passed away about four months ago, was
diagnosed with panker out of cancer. So lyrically, it's all

(06:51):
about him.

Speaker 2 (06:52):
And the really cool part about.

Speaker 4 (06:55):
That journey was I'd ran into him at his New
Year's Eve party and I said, hey, I pulled him aside.
I wrote these lyrics there about you. What do you
do on Saturday? And he's like, well, I'm kind of
going to fighting cancer right now. I'm like, nah, you're
being a recording studio. I need you to come in.
So he was there for eight hours. Cancer wasn't in
the room. We left out the door. He sang on
the track and it just it was It was cool.

(07:15):
And we played it today and I think it hit
all of us. You know, we we played it a
couple of shows before, but today I think it really
hit all of us, like, oh my god, we're doing
this for him, you know, and you got those goose
bumps and you just powered up just a little bit more.

Speaker 3 (07:29):
Well, That was the antsy part for me. I knew
he's not gonna make it. I wanted to, you know,
he had the song. It would have been I think
he would have loved to see it get released, you
know what I mean, to the public. And he had it,
you know, he sat on it for a long time
and him himself, but we were we were hoping it
would have came out for me. I wanted him to

(07:51):
hear it to the public. You know, that's him singing in.

Speaker 2 (07:54):
The movie, yeah, you know and everything.

Speaker 3 (07:56):
And he kept on asking me, so when is it
coming out? When is that coming out? And it just
we just he never got the chance.

Speaker 2 (08:02):
To see it. Oh that's hard now, that mine. That's
why I wanted it to be to come out sooner
for him. But you know, it is what it is.

Speaker 1 (08:09):
Well, like they say, by every time you guys perform,
you're keeping his memory alive. And uh, that's that's a
beautiful story for this song. And uh, I can't wait
to show that to our audience. And uh, I appreciate
you guys stopping by so much. So tell me what's

(08:30):
what's next on the horizon. You've got this thing you're
setting on. But you're also got other things cooking too,
