The Loudest, Most Energetic Band You Need to Hear: A Conversation with Drumfish

Brian (00:00:00) - Guys, you're very welcome to the show. How are you?

Drumfish (00:00:03) - Ah, great. Thanks yourself. Thanks for having us.

Brian (00:00:06) - I'm pretty good. I'm pretty good. It's great to have you guys now. I, uh, I love the album. I'm looking forward to getting some insights into it. So you're released, it, it's your debut album, eating Dirt. It was out on June 2nd. What can you tell us about it?

Drumfish (00:00:21) - Oh, well, um, this one we pretty much, the way we compiled it for the album, we more like, like a set list. Almost like we, like we would play love more of a performance album. So yeah. More of a performance album. So, so we start off with a bang and then end, which the way you wouldn't expect us to end. Yeah, yeah. We after, yeah. You wouldn't expect it from, I guess, drum fish after all the live shows that we end up, end out on the, the choir song, key acoustic song. Yeah. Yeah.

Brian (00:00:51) - You know, debut albums, they're, you know's a, a big statement for a band. It's something you put out there to tell the audience what you're all about. What do you want people to get from the album?

Drumfish (00:01:06) - Mm. I think a lot of the stuff that you hear today, uh, a lot of the popular stuff, uh, isn't as heavy as it used to be. And I think, uh, a lot of things sound the same. So it's, it's nice to hear people like actual people playing instruments and um, bands in general. So I think for us it's just to be like, as heavy and loud and we don't want the album to sound too overproduced, so want it to sound like a live show almost, but just a bit neater, , if that makes any sense. It still sounded like a song. Yeah.

Brian (00:01:44) - . And how did you go about achieving that kinda live sound in the studio?

Drumfish (00:01:51) - Uh, crap. Loads of fuzz for one, I guess. I think every song has a different type of fuz on it. Almost buzz layered on Fuzz. Um, I think we started a lot of the songs out, like how we would start it out in a set. We didn't, uh, I don't think the producer sound engineer, that sound engineer put much, uh, effects on anything. It was more, less straight from the pedal or from the amp or from the drums. And

Brian (00:02:19) - It must feel like a long road to get to this point. Releasing the album, how does it feel to finally have it out there and let people hear it?

Drumfish (00:02:28) - It feels good. Um, we've been listening to the album like over and over since we finished it before it came out. So we're think of it, , we're kinda over it now. It glad his heart and done with, but it's, uh, it's pretty exciting for us. Um, big step for the band.

Brian (00:02:45) - Yeah. Yeah. And you know, you guys have been together three years now in September. How did Drum fish come to be?

Drumfish (00:02:55) - Um, we kind of treated like a marriage, a good marriage between three men, well, almost men, where if we have a a problem on the day, we'll resolve it before we go to bed and we'll see each other at the next practice. Uh, we don't like, we don't like tension in the band. It's like bad vibes for everyone and it doesn't end up being good. Uh, but that wasn't the question. The question was part of the band  the bad start. Uh, well, I, it's cool because, uh, we all were like friends, um, uh, from high school, from high school. So with me and Charles, I met Charles first, and, um, then he's kind of older than me, so he left school and I met Sydney and we started like hanging out, started playing, started jamming, and then, yeah, and I mean, we started a music club that was kind of crappy, but anyways, um, it was post lockdown, just like right off the lockdown where we started the band. Yeah, I guess a lot of bands started because you forced into like doing it boredom with nothing to do. Yeah. Um, and we needed a basis and we needed a, a singer and everyone sort of just naturally, somehow, somehow I ended up as a singer.

Brian (00:04:23) - Back then, compared to now that Covid, the Lockdowns are over, how does it compare, you know, is it what you expected?

Drumfish (00:04:31) - I think expectations are pretty much over the moon now. We've come a lot further than we expected it. I was, I guess just a little hobby in the beginning. Yeah. We didn't expect it to go very far. And now we are almost three years down the line with an album out and several singles and

Brian (00:04:50) - When it comes to making new music, then, you know, what's the process? Who's the songwriter? Is it a collaborative effort?

Drumfish (00:04:58) - Um, I used to write songs on my own and then bring them to the band, but then it would like just change completely. So I, I stopped doing that and just, we started, we've like begun writing a lot of it as a complete band.

Brian (00:05:13) - I see, I see. And at this stage, so we'll dive into your history when it comes to music to give the listeners a sense of where you come from. So if you can, can you remember your earliest musical memories?

Drumfish (00:05:27) - Uh, yeah, definitely. Uh, family holidays and listening to like old r and ps hits and old country hits and old pop like Abba. And, um, anything from the a from, no, from the seventies to the nineties was probably, um, so ac dc Abba, I think for me, Bon Jovi . Why Jovi? For me, it would've been, um, I think it was much younger and I got like, I got one of those MP3s and it's loaded a crap load of music that I would get from everyone. And that's when really started like music became everything for me. And now, now I feel like if, if you're not listening to music all the time, what, what the hell are you doing with your life?

Brian (00:06:13) - True, true . And did you guys grow up in a musical household? You know, was there lots of support for music at home?

Drumfish (00:06:25) - Not really , not really. Um, I think the sports there I suppose, but no, no one really, I was in my family. There's musical, I might have hate the band. Your would dad hate the band, but he used to play guitar. Yeah. Uh, I think he knows, he doesn't want you to end up jobless . He doesn't want you to be better than him. ,

Brian (00:06:49) - That's probably it. .

Drumfish (00:06:51) - Yeah. No, it's not a mine.

Brian (00:06:54) - . And I'm always saying when you get into your teenage years, it's kinda like when you really start taking music in, you know, you find like-minded people and it almost creates community around music. So as teenagers, what sort of music were you being exposed to and how do you think it molded you into the musicians you are today?

Drumfish (00:07:17) - For me, it was really weird. Um, back to that whole MP3 thing, I can't remember where I got it, but, but I had, um, I had some of a down on there and I had other heavy stuff and then all of a sudden it'd be like a couple songs from early Nicki Minaj. Right. Which was super weird. Now that I think back to it

Brian (00:07:35) - ,

Drumfish (00:07:36) - I don't to it anymore, but back then it was cool  back then, it was like, enjoyed it. Um, I think me was like, for some reason I was like into like electronic arts music, like that was my thing. And then, uh, getting an instrument for the first time, then you get introduced to grunge and then everything changes. There was, there was the whole awkward dubstep era dub.

Brian (00:08:07) - Right, right. So what's the uh, the local scene like, you know, when you're trying to get a band off the ground, is it, is it very difficult over in South Africa?

Drumfish (00:08:18) - Um, I think for us it's, it was quite easy actually thinking back, there's this, um, uh, the venue called Rumors Lounge. And at the time they were bringing in all these up, like, well, not up and coming, but like bands, small time, big time, small town, big time bands that were just starting out. And they'd give them their to, uh, a chance at the stage and just experiencing that. So I think we were very, very grateful and very lucky for that.

Brian (00:08:46) - Yeah, yeah. And you know, there's, there's lots of big bands, big rock bands in South Africa. Do you find that they're kinda eager to lend a hand to the up and coming bands and say like, yeah, come on, jump on the tour with us or jump on a gig supporting us?

Drumfish (00:09:04) - Uh, yeah, we've been lucky to open for larger bands before we've opened for Ko  and then We Narrow and The Narrow and The Rough Magic And Rough Magic. That was a great one. Yeah,

Brian (00:09:17) - I, I love Rough Magic. They're good friends of the show. Actually I'm after uh, chatting with them a couple of times, sir. Great bunch of guys.

Drumfish (00:09:25) - Very, very nice and super dancer. Earth. Yeah, yeah,

Brian (00:09:28) - Yeah, yeah. Definitely. Definitely. And as a concert Gour, then I have to ask, what concerts have made you guys?

Drumfish (00:09:38) - Uh, well the only one I I've been to was Guns N Roses, but, uh, and Thunder Boom from South Africa open for them. Um, so I'm not the biggest Guns N Roses fan, but I mean, if you're going to see a band like them in a stadium, uh, that's more than enough to like, make you wanna play in the band after seeing Welcome to the Jungle or Paradise City and ,

Brian (00:10:06) - It's funny you mentioned that one cuz I had Marathon from Vander Boom on and he spoke a lot about that gig, what it was like playing that gig and supporting Guns N Roses. So it's funny you you mention it there.

Drumfish (00:10:20) - They yeah, I, the funny thing about that was I didn't even realize it was Bun Deworm until I knew Bun Boom was like couple years back. Yeah. Entering the scene you hear, you hear about all these bands that you previously didn't know about and you're like, wow, fuck. There's some good stuff out there,

Brian (00:10:36) - . And uh, what about the rest of you guys? What concerts made you?

Drumfish (00:10:42) - Um, actually I've never been to a concert before. Really. No. You've been to drum fish shows? No, that's great. Uh, firstly I've been to, I gotta See The Pixies when they came here.

Brian (00:10:55) - Oh man,

Drumfish (00:10:56) - That was great. We did that instead of going to matric after party things. And then, um, I saw Iron Maiden, that was very fun, very theatrical. Um, I've seen like, I don't know, , my first concert was actually embarrassing. Uh, my first concert was, uh, George Benson . That's definitely where my heavy interest gone from. Of course .

Brian (00:11:22) - Right, right. And uh, I'm looking forward to this now. For any listeners that haven't caught one of your shows, what can they expect? Try give them the full experience if you can.

Drumfish (00:11:35) - So there's drum fish on the stage. That's it? No, it's a drum. Fish show is super loud. Um, there's lots of fuzz. High energy, big crashes, big shitloads of drums, uh, screamy vocals. Not screamy vocals, but more shouty. We like that. But it's super loud and super energetic. We're up in your face fast. Halftime beats hit bang stuff. Um, Charles does the thing where he, uh, will sometimes, uh, more often these days take on the mic itself and go into the crowd, drop the guitar, grab the park. I start singing with the crowd. And uh, cause I guess if, if you can't, like if your songs aren't good enough, then you gotta like grab a guy by the shirt and be like, get up and do something. Sang our songs aren't good maybe.

Brian (00:12:29) - And how do you guys work on your stage show? How do you perfect it and make sure it's better than the last?

Drumfish (00:12:37) - We're always Master , no Jager master before the show. Uh, yeah, we're always learning, uh, from the previous shows we'll still be like, oh wow, that was a really good show or crap, let's not do that again. Yeah, don't do that . Um, but definitely from the practice space cause then like no one's watching us and we can just do whatever we want and yeah, we definitely have the whole like dance like nobody's watching vibe on stage.

Brian (00:13:05) - Yeah. Yeah. That's a good way to look at it. Alright. It's also better than picturing the audience naked.

Drumfish (00:13:12) - It's true. Doesn't never work. It doesn't work.  your mom's in the crowd. .

Brian (00:13:20) - Is there a gig that you've played that so far is the best experience you've had?

Drumfish (00:13:27) - Uh uh No. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I think opening for the Narrow, I think is definitely top three. Your, yeah. That's definitely my favorite. Mm-hmm. , uh, that was a crazy show by four. I was, I was in the crowd. I ended up on some guy's shoulders. Oh yes. That was two. I had the mark and I was just like, shouting like, half your thighs actually . Yeah. Uh, that was a terrific show. That was, that was great. I, I think all the, the ones we open for big bands, those are great. Cause , um, there's definitely a lot of crowds. Uh, and we do well with big crowds. We don't really do what we feel like, I don't know, like mean it changes when it's like, uh, just family and friends.

Brian (00:14:14) - Yeah. Yeah. That's, uh, that's a good one though. How do you, at the shows where there may not be a lot of people, a smaller show, how do you get the energy up in the audience?

Drumfish (00:14:25) - I, we, we would still play, uh, like there's 500 people in the show. If there were just 20 people there, we would still put that same amount of effort in I Yeah. Because like, there's no point. Um, you've gone all that way, you've loved all that gear and we enjoy playing. Like, yeah. We just wanna play really, uh, we, we enjoy playing with each other. Not in  as a band of three Men. .

Brian (00:14:56) - Right, right. To switch it around. Is there a gig experience that you would say was maybe the worst experience you've had and how did you deal with it?

Drumfish (00:15:06) - Yes, uh, definitely there is one that comes to mind. Uh, at the Texas Bar , there was definitely, um, a shitty gig.  of the top two worst shows. That's definitely number one. We, um, drinks were flowing. Um, we was being smoked and then we got up on stage and then our, uh, leading up to that I was, I I was like losing my voice luckily. Uh, and drums, the drummer was playing like a different song. Oh yeah. Jaquin was playing a different song. He had the, the smoke machine was rap behind him so none of us could see him. Sydney was just, he was just baring You were great. He was just bar doing his own thing in the corner. I probably thought that you were playing wrong cause I was playing wrong. It's just one of those, one of those shows where everything that could have gone wrong went wrong.

Brian (00:16:02) - Right, right. And how did you guys overcome it? Uh,

Drumfish (00:16:07) - Definitely drink a lot less before the . We're not, we're not like Panera get drunk and we practice a lot more. So like, if I can't see a Keen, I can still tell where he is gonna be in a sense.

Brian (00:16:21) - Mm-hmm. And how do you guys approach getting your music out and new listeners? What do you find is the best way that works?

Drumfish (00:16:30) - Mm. I feel like someone told me that it's good to not sell your music. So you sell like merch and you sell, but well not sell, but you promote like videos of the songs and we like doing mean stuff. Don't, don't listen to the music, watch the performance and then listen to the music.

Brian (00:16:52) - Right, right. That's a good one I haven't heard before actually.

Drumfish (00:16:57) - Um, yeah, it's easier to, because I, I feel like people have like short attention spans and that's why like Instagram posts, TikTok stuff, uh, it's quick and if they see it and they like it then, then cool. But if you're promoting, Hey, I've got an album Art and you're just saying, oh, I've got an album art, then no one's really gonna pay attention. Uh, unless you've got great footage, you've got uh, great promo and yeah. But I, I also feel like, um, uh, it's still good to like go out to your neighborhood and tell like, I don't know, give out flyers or just go to random stores and say, Hey I've got an album on. Give them physical things to show that you've got an album out, like CD and Yeah. Old school Ways.

Brian (00:17:48) - Yeah, exactly. Exactly. You can't beat the old school west and you know, as a band at your level, how do you approach finding gigs and hopefully in the future, setting up tours

Drumfish (00:18:00) - That's usually left up to your keen? Every so often I'll like, um, attempt booking a gig and sometimes come out. But usually he's like guy he's emailing and WhatsApping you. Uh, our first keeper we got at Rumors Lounge, uh, I spam the guy like gazillion times, uh, Hey, can we pay this thing? Can we pay? Yeah. Can pay it. And he finally gives us the show, but we don't even a band yet. Okay. Uh, you guys wanna play in three weeks Tom? And we haven't even practiced once yet. And I said yes cause I'm just an idiot. , but you still do that. Sydney only joined a band a week after that. Um, we have to, we have to write like six songs and then learn some covers just to fill the time recruitment of, we were, we were a five piece in the beginning somehow.

Brian (00:18:55) - And what kind of antics do you guys get up to backstage at Sten?

Drumfish (00:19:01) - Uh, lots of nitrous, right? That's not true. No. Um, well I can I tell

Brian (00:19:13) - What? Well, Antonios chatting you might as well .

Drumfish (00:19:18) - Uh, well um, actually I think we're not like a hiccup hookup with chicks or, and do drugs kind of band. We just, we like, we kind of just mu around and pace back and forth before the show. We just wanna play just waiting. Drinking's fun though. Drinking's great. Um, and washing bands and like, uh, like bands especially that, you know, it's great obviously. Um, we're big instigators in the crowd. Yeah. Always wanna do marsh stuff. Folding up to I show even though I'm not the biggest person, be in a marsh. Yeah. Gets thrown around in the marsh

Brian (00:20:00) - .

Drumfish (00:20:04) - He's got scratch to prove it.

Brian (00:20:06) - . And is there any bands or musicians in particular that you model yourselves after that you look at and say, yeah, I want to be like them?

Drumfish (00:20:19) - I think we each have our own Go for it Josh. That role models sort of, I really look up to uh, task the goal and just like the stuff he does with his album releases, he's got like acoustic and then like everything before that was just full on garage rock loud, um, said what you got. See I don't really have any inspirations there. I'm big into like events sevenfold and I like my Palm Palm 80 Surf. Yeah, definitely likes very, um, Sid gives us the breakdowns in the bed. Um, like it's you, I feel like for a bass, I know it's off topic, but if you wanna be a good bassist, you have to be a good guitarist. He is that and that's why he's the perfect bassist . Um, but uh, for me it would be, uh, fighters cause I'm just fighters nerd and fighters. Fighters. Um, yeah, I like that. Um, I like that they, they still like making stuff that isn't very like, I don't know, mainstream mainstream in a sense. Yes it is in a sense. But like they're still uh, write great stuff and they're still pro like doing a lot of work compared to a lot of the uh, bands that are still around. Um, but also just anything punk in general, punk stuff like and Idols is bringing punk back in the uk so, uh, stuff like them and Turns style and there's a lot.

Brian (00:22:00) - Yeah. Yeah. And I have to ask, since you mentioned the Foo Fighters, what do you think the latest album?

Drumfish (00:22:07) - Um, well I think since they released on the same day as Drum Fish as album, they definitely got some competition, you know?

Brian (00:22:13) - Definitely. Do you see they were copying you guys

Drumfish (00:22:17) - A hundred percent ? Uh, it's a very sad album I must say, but it's very good.

Brian (00:22:23) - Mm-hmm. I actually think it's one of their best albums since maybe, I dunno, uh, one by one Western Line. Yeah. Yeah. It's definitely the best thing to put out in years anyway. I

Drumfish (00:22:38) - Agree. I have a question as well. What do you think of a uh, new drummer?

Brian (00:22:44) - I think he definitely has the chops, but it'll be interesting to see how he does when they go on tour, you know, and maybe a year down the line, look back and see what he is like then, you know, he has big shoes to fill and from his point of view it's gonna be a tough job because he is never going to live up to Taylor in the fan's eyes, you know?

Drumfish (00:23:06) - Yeah. I feel like any drummer that you put there that should have just cloned Dave and made him play

Brian (00:23:13) - . . Yeah. I actually, I taught for sure that to give the job to Taylor's son.

Drumfish (00:23:20) - I was thinking the same, uh, my bed was on a , probably not Nancy Bushel, but, uh, that would've been funny if it was. Yeah. Um, but maybe Rufuss Taylor from the Darkness. Yeah.

Brian (00:23:35) - Actually

Drumfish (00:23:36) - Off.

Brian (00:23:37) - Yeah. Although I think they're touring a lot at the moment themselves, so they probably wouldn't have, uh, wouldn't have worked out.

Drumfish (00:23:45) - Annie looks like a bigger version of Taylor, like he ate Taylor. So you don't wanna have that with you as well.

Brian (00:23:51) - Yeah, yeah, exactly. Exactly.  and back to your guys' shows then, you know, the few minutes before you get on stage, what's going through your mind?

Drumfish (00:24:04) - Did you, can you bring his high head this time? .

Brian (00:24:07) -

Drumfish (00:24:08) - Leave my past. Did he leave his past? Um, uh, well, uh, um, you usually like more prepared than all of us. Yeah, I, I don't like getting on stage and then having to search for something.

Brian (00:24:26) - Mm-hmm.

Drumfish (00:24:27) - So I'm usually there like, just getting my shit together and just like, um, preparing myself mentally for the show. Um, I think, I think before it was like, I think now we are a lot more comfortable. Yeah. But you still have to, we still have to go run off and find your keen cuz the show have already started and we haven't found him yet.

Brian (00:24:49) - And you know, after the show you're filled with all that energy. How do you wind down?

Drumfish (00:24:59) - Gosh, next band We, yeah. We don't feel like we wind up. We keep winding up. I think from there , we wait for the next band to go down. We, like I said, we instigate in the, in the, in the mosh pit. Uh, yeah. After party in a sense. Off party on the floor. Yeah. Um, cause you want, you want the bands to do that for you as well next time. Yeah. We don't really want to lose that, that ha we have from being off the stage.

Brian (00:25:25) - Yeah. Yeah. True. And say hypothetically, you play like the best gig of your lives Saturday night, the place is packed, you guys are on fire, you wake up the next morning and it's kind of back to reality. How do you deal with that feeling?

Drumfish (00:25:44) - Book for the next gig? Look for, yeah. Look for the next, for the next big hit. I don't think usually the day after the show is just like a rest day almost.

Brian (00:25:54) - Mm-hmm. , Trey Get rid of The Hangover.

Drumfish (00:25:56) - Yeah. Like it's like three little kids up there, sugar R wanna get up anymore.

Brian (00:26:05) - And as a band then, how do you guys measure success? What does success mean to you?

Drumfish (00:26:12) - I, I, I don't, I feel, I feel like, like, we'll, we'll we'll get there, but I feel like maybe we have accomplishments so far, uh, that we've succeeded in. I feel like a big one is releasing the album. That's definitely a big accomplishment, a big feeling of success for us. And I, I, I think we're proud of like the sound and uh, we've definitely, you know, we've definitely figured out our sound now at this point in the band and we know where we are going. This album, a lot of it is just stuff from when we first started and now we're, we are branching out from your, so this is pretty much a stepping stone. Yeah. I think what I think we know like now what we wanna, what kind of stuff we wanna make and uh, uh, I think it's, we sort of figuring out how to write together easier than before. We've already, yeah. We've already begun writing for the next, the next ep.

Brian (00:27:20) - Yeah, I was going, I was gonna bring that up later. Um, how are you guys going to follow up this album? Tell us about what you're writing at the moment, if you can.

Drumfish (00:27:30) - This, the next EP is gonna be, um, recording it, the Leftovers. So it's also, um, it's a lot of stuff that, um, when we first formed, but we're also, we are reinventing it and revitalizing it cause we don't, we found that it's, it's a bit stale. So we are trying to bring the songs back to La Bar writing them in a way where we are now as a band without current sound.

Brian (00:27:59) - Yeah. And you know, I noticed that a lot of bands when they're starting off, they maybe have like a roadmap of things don't want to take off to get to where they are. So say five years time, where do you guys want to be as a band? Yeah.

Drumfish (00:28:15) - So we're gonna have a c that's like, Hmm. Definitely, definitely. Uh, touring, having, having at least a tour under our belts. Um, yeah, like, um, touring music video, I think. Yeah. Could we, uh, possibly a second album Five years, five years? Uh, possibly a third album. Uh, I and maybe five years is a good time for us to all get Hitched

Brian (00:28:50) - To each other now or to, uh, other people.

Drumfish (00:28:53) - Um, well I guess if we find a, just the three of us. Yeah.

Brian (00:28:59) -

Drumfish (00:29:01) - Love Triangle

Brian (00:29:03) - . And how do you guys, at this stage in your career, how do you guys make, you know, labels and PR companies take notice of you guys?

Drumfish (00:29:15) - That's Charles's department. Oh, that, that, that's a tough one. Cuz we, we do a lot of it ourselves. The promoting and it's, it's tough, but we usually get bar so if there any, there are any pr labels, uh, PR companies or labels out there, please hit me up. We, yeah, we like do all like the promo videos and all that. The flyers. The flyers and the writeups for the post. Trying to like market it the best way possible we can, but it's hard.

Brian (00:29:47) - That's for sure. That's for sure. It's, uh, especially when you're at the stage where, you know, you have to focus on the music, the shows, and then the, the promotion. It's kind of, you're splitting yourself all over place and spreading yourself 10.

Drumfish (00:30:03) - But I think, uh, we, we, it's nice cuz like everyone ha like has stuff that they wanna do and then they're good at and uh, we kind of like our own little family company or something. Yeah. Our own little pr kind company labels thing

Brian (00:30:23) - Could always go ahead and start your own one. Be the best way to promote your own, your own music. ,

Drumfish (00:30:29) - What do we call it? The Records. Records, yeah. I'm sure there's another name come up with.

Brian (00:30:43) - And before we dive into the last couple of questions, so what are your future plans? We've heard that you're writing new music. Is there any big gigs coming up or anything that you'd like to promote? Uh,

Drumfish (00:30:55) - At the moment we've got a gig next week Saturday on the 24th, we're playing at Rumors Lounge. So going back to our Roots in a sense, uh, for a modeling agency. They're organizing the event is for charity. Uh, it's a, it's a pride show. It's a pride Charity. Yeah. With, uh, charity event. I think the big artist there would be an artist called N G U who's doing pretty well in sa. Um, so that's, that's gonna be pretty, uh, exciting. Um, and we haven't played rumors in a while, so it'll be good to get back. Yeah.

Brian (00:31:36) - We'll, uh, we'll dive into the last couple. So if you could see any performer from history in concert for one night only, who would it be?

Drumfish (00:31:47) - Uh, for me right now, it would be idols. I would be super keen to see them.

Brian (00:31:55) - Good one. Good one.

Drumfish (00:31:58) - You said I'd love to see The Beatles, the Beatles version. Sick. I, um, ah, I, I think, I think, uh, the f like the F by with Taylor. With Taylor there. Cause it, it just doesn't hit the same, you know.

Brian (00:32:21) - Yeah, yeah. I saw them back in, I think it was 2019 now. And oh man, they put on one hell of a show.

Drumfish (00:32:30) - Uh, what, uh, was was it like a festival thing?

Brian (00:32:34) - It was, no, it was just a, their headlining concert. I can't even remember. They were so good that I can't even remember who the support types were.

Drumfish (00:32:43) - Damn.

Brian (00:32:44) - Yeah, there was a, it was in a big stadium in Ireland and oh man, they just blew the whole crowd away and the next one. So it's a bit odd. If you had to spend 24 hours locked inside a room with any musician from history, who would it be?

Drumfish (00:33:03) - Mm, I think, um, maybe, maybe Kurt. Kurt Coban. That would be interesting.

Brian (00:33:10) - Right, right. Why so?

Drumfish (00:33:13) - Um, I feel like, um, he's a nice guy, but like, uh, uh, and, and obviously he's, he's, he's got his like, you know, dark side to him, but also like, just he's very smart. Um, uh, and you can tell me he's songwriting secrets

Brian (00:33:33) - . That'd be pretty cool. And, uh, rest of you guys?

Drumfish (00:33:38) - Sydney? I don't even know , I wouldn't mind being locked in the um, uh, with Jack Watts. I really enjoy his, his guitar playing and his techniques and just his guitar tone. His terrific.

Brian (00:33:54) - Yeah, actually that would be a really good one cuz he's like a genius when it comes to the production side of things as well. You could learn so much about it.

Drumfish (00:34:03) - And you, Sydney, who's your favorite? Uh, bass. See, I'd say please, you know, but it would be, feel like it would be a weird thing that would be scary. Cause you dunno what takes next. Is he gonna take his pants off? You gonna take your pants off?

Brian (00:34:26) - Yeah, that 24 hours could take a totally different turn. ,

Drumfish (00:34:31) - He'd be a different person coming up. Slap Face,

Brian (00:34:38) - And the, uh, the final one. So what song would appear on the soundtrack to your life?

Drumfish (00:34:45) - Ooh. Ooh. Um, you go first please. Yes, go first. Um, that's interesting. Final sound song. Find some songs. Yeah, I'd say, uh, okay, I got it. I got it. Uh, idols, Mr. Motivator. Nice,

Brian (00:35:09) - Nice.

Drumfish (00:35:10) - Always gets me up in the morning, man. Would be Monkey Junction Bari.

Brian (00:35:17) - Right. Great. What is it about that song that speaks to you?

Drumfish (00:35:21) - Just the slow doomy fuzz out bass. Just the way, just the way they play. Oh, his vocals are great. I could live my life to that song, uh,

Drumfish (00:35:36) - Resonance. But, um, it just, it's how I always feel.

Brian (00:35:43) - Perfect. So listen guys, thanks a million for jumping on. I've, uh, I've really enjoyed chatting with you now.
