0:05HostWelcome to Interceptor Beyond Podcast. My name is Arthur and today we have four bands. I mean, you already read in the title who it is. So I covered the Sonic Heartbreak Festival and thanks for reminding me. It was a lot of fun. Recorded at Arena in Vienna, Austria, before all the shows. So yeah, the time counts are in the description. Pretty straightforward. And what else? Yeah, I would like to remind you about our upcoming show, the Interceptor Beyond show, which takes place once a month at Arena Weisel. And the next show is on October 28th. It is going to be a Halloween edition. Spooky. It's a talk show recorded live in front of the audience. A conversation with music industry pros. We talk about music, life. We play trivia games. We have prizes for the audience. And there's also music after the show. So you can always stick around and hang out. It's a great hangout. We already have some episodes online on YouTube and Spotify. So check it out. And come to Akana Weisel on October 28th. Don't forget to follow this podcast on any platform of your choice. Leave a rating. And of course, follow the podcast on Instagram at Interceptor Beyond. All right. Now let's talk to Monoke.

1:24QuentinOh, so my name is Quentin. I'm 20 years old. 20 years old. Sure, man. Tell your age. It's not a job. Relax. I guess that's the second most interesting thing, right? That's what you always say. No, I'm the drummer in Monoke. Yeah. Is that the third interesting thing? I don't know.

1:42HostYeah, I'm Daniel. I'm the singer and guitarist for Monoke. That's basically it. Yeah, exactly. I don't expect much. Just a name. That's enough. What's interesting for me, it was important for me to hear how you're going to say the band, the name of the band. Because Monokeim, Monokeim, whatever, right? Does it have a meaning? I know. I usually don't ask questions about the name because why? But at the moment, we're writing your Wikipedia page, right? This is right now. So I want to be the first. So does it mean anything? I don't know. I haven't checked. To what story we're sticking now?

2:18DanielNo, it's complicated. The original story. Yeah, of course, the original story. Because the funny thing is, like, what was it? Three weeks ago, we played SAP in Graz. And some people really guessed the meaning or, like, the story, so to say, behind the band name. First time after two weeks. Yeah. And it's just, there's a sorority noise song called Mononoke. And we were just desperate for a band name. And we were like, just, fuck it. Let's cut one N and one O out. Monoke. Fuck it. Let's go.

2:55HostYeah. Well, what's funny is, like, I thought about that a little bit. But, you know, you never know. You never know. You know, it can be anything. It might have no meaning at all. All right. So, but you said, like, people guessed it recently, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But you exist since, what? A couple years? Two years ago?

3:11QuentinLike, 1st January 2020. Yeah. Yeah. 2020. The 1st of January.

3:18HostOh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I read that you are, like, a pandemic project, kind of, right? Or...

3:23DanielSort of, like, we existed before. And we, like, always wanted to change the name. So, we kind of, like, it sort of...

3:33HostIs it you whose first name was, like, Thursday or something?

3:38QuentinThere is a band that already called that, right?

3:40DanielYeah. And we didn't know that at the time, to be honest.

3:43QuentinI knew it. But I was not there when the name was killed.

3:46DanielYeah. You weren't in the band room.

3:47?Oh, you didn't have experience, you know, that... I mean, you were young, it's like... So, you're, like, 20 now. And, like, back then, it's, like, 17, 18, something like this.

3:58HostYeah. I mean, back then, I mean, I know myself. It's, like, I didn't know that there's, like, shitloads of bands with the same name. And you need to be, like, super creative and to find... Especially in these days with social media, you know? Like, there's no excuse to say I didn't know or something. You can check that. So, all right. So, 2020, not a pandemic project. All right. So, you don't have much music out. You have, like, three or four singles, right? Yeah, we have... Music videos and stuff.

4:30DanielYeah, an EP.

4:33DanielOne other thing that's left on there.

4:36HostWell, it's coming out or what?

4:38DanielNo, no, no, no. It's already out. It's, like, our first release, but, yeah.

4:43HostYou have mixed feelings about it already?

4:45DanielYeah, well, it sort of belongs to the old era and... old era, so to speak.

4:51QuentinIf you look at our Spotify and look at the artworks and stuff, you can kind of get which song we're talking about.

4:57DanielYeah, especially if you listen to the songs, I think. Yeah, especially if you listen to the songs, I think.

5:01HostYeah, especially if you listen to the songs. Yeah, but, I mean, how would you describe your music? What do you play? What do you play? Oh, dude.

5:10QuentinThat's the buzzword that keeps coming the most, but yesterday we had, um, we were called a hardcore adjacent band the first time, which is very funny, uh, because I don't, that's a, that's a very, that's a weird, that's a, it's a weird thing, right? It's a, it's a weird thing, right? What is, what is hardcore adjacent? That's not a fucking genre. What, what, what are we grunge? I don't know. We, we have this, this new grunge gay score thing, but that's just buzzwords for, for, for writing stuff, so that, so that there's something to write about.

5:38DanielAnd also, I, I pretty much, I'm pretty much sure that we came up with it when we were sort of slightly drunk.

5:45?Slightly, yeah.

5:46HostYeah, but that's how it go, but, you know, like, like, I'm asking you, like, about the music that you play, it's not because to, to, to actually know it, but to see how you react to it, because, yeah, yeah, yeah, because, I mean, right now, like, I always said, like, like, like, Musicians don't like music genres, like, because you don't, don't put us in a box, fuck you, you know, fucking, like, society and shit, we're free artists, right? But, uh, recently I started to see a trend when they start to be really creative with the genres, really specific, like you, like, like, like, you mentioned, it goes together with the thing, because some, like, wild, like, we're, like, Japan rock on steroids in a basement shit.

6:25QuentinYeah, I guess that new grunge gay ska shit is kind of a nod to that, and, yeah, it's not, like, we're shitting on bands that do stuff like that, but it's, like, it was fun, it was fun, we, we.

6:34DanielIt's, like, we don't have anything else to, to say about, like, genre-wise.

6:38QuentinWe don't want to say alternative rock, it's, it's, that's, yeah, no.

6:41DanielIt's, like, I think that's the stupidest thing ever, because, like, what is alternative rock?

6:45HostIt could be, I mean, you shouldn't, you shouldn't worry about it, because the, the, the corporate world will put you there anyway, so don't even think about that shit.

6:55DanielYeah, and, and, and, and I'm pretty sure, like, the secondary.

6:57QuentinThere's a bassist.

7:03HostThat's not a big problem. More people, that's fine. Hello, hello, hello. Hello. Hey.

7:15HostAll right, so, what's your version, how did you get the name? No, I'm joking, I'm joking, man, relax, man.

7:21QuentinWe were telling the truth, actually, about the Saurat, a nice song. Okay. Yeah, it's the first time we're, I don't know, I don't know.

7:27DanielYeah, I mean, it's, it's, I don't think we publicly stated that this is the origin of our band name, but.

7:34HostNo, make it, make it mysterious, man, and, like, in the end, what people get.

7:40?Yeah, but, right, we mentioned singles, right?

7:42HostWe mentioned a little bit singles, we talked a little bit about music genres, and we talked a little bit about how you came up to be. Okay, I want to ask about how's, how's your apartment after the music video, actually, you know? Okay, and please, like, tell people what I'm talking about.

7:59DanielUm, I think you're talking about the, like, house show that we did. Which is a music video for our, yeah, for, for I swallowed the keys, so they're gonna be ready in three to four business days.

8:09QuentinIt was great, actually.

8:11?Yeah. Yeah, you got it.

8:12DanielFucking sit at home and study every night. No, um, but, like, my, my parents too decided to renovate, like, the main floor of the house, and I was, like, I really wanted to have a party, and we needed a music video, so put one in, one together.

8:29HostYeah, it's available on YouTube, and it's, like, um, I mean, I'm older than you, so I can remember, so, but it has the feel of analog vibe, and old school, like, like, uh, 90s feel. You always, I think you even recorded it on analog cameras or something. Yeah, yeah.

8:46QuentinWe record a lot of stuff on VHS, yeah.

8:48HostYeah. Yeah, it's, it's, it's, it's a thing, right? Like, I see, like, when you, when you used your, uh, analog cameras, it's, like, oh, it's, like, Sony on cassette with the fisheye stuff. Like, it's, like, it's, like, a skater, skate, skate culture, kind of. Do you skate?

9:02QuentinI was skating for a very long time, but I, like, kind of quit, because, I started skating, like, a couple months ago.

9:08HostI'm having a midlife crisis, I think, man.

9:11QuentinNo, it's a fun thing, it's, it's very good for you.

9:12HostYeah, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm following all the time, but I'm, I'm feeling good about it.

9:17QuentinYou don't have to be good or anything, you just have to fucking have fun.

9:19HostI'm, I'm having fun.

9:24DanielJust go walk through the pain.

9:26HostThat's a thing, like, I can concentrate on pain only, and my mind is pure pain, and I love it. It's, it's a thing, right? So, okay, so, you, you recorded, uh, um, well, first of all, like, I checked you on Facebook, you post, like, a long time ago. You posted the advertising for the, for the house party that you wanted to record. Come, everybody, we're gonna, like, record shows. Fuck, yeah. Yeah, how many people come, came there?

9:52DanielI think there were, like, 60 people or something like that, 67.

9:56QuentinThe thing we did not mention is that house, um, we're not from Vienna. We're from, uh, Burgenland.

10:02HostOriginally, yeah, from, uh, from, uh, Mattersburg, no? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

10:05QuentinSo that, uh, our show was recorded in Mattersburg, which is kind of hard, because there's, I don't know if you've ever been to Burgenland or Mattersburg especially, but there is not that much in, in, in terms of DIY or punk or, or, or any fucking kind of culture that is not.

10:22QuentinYeah, yeah, you gotta do your own culture.

10:24DanielYeah, yeah, you really gotta do it yourself, so.

10:28HostSo, but you managed, you know, you brought 60 people, maybe somebody came from Vienna also, something like this. I won't be surprised.

10:35?Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

10:36HostAll right, so, after that, you recorded, put it online. What happened next? Like, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm still coming to Fatso.

10:44HostBecause I know Fatso from, from Bates. Yeah.

10:47?Oh, yeah, of course. Yeah.

10:48DanielWell, that was sort of recent, because we just sort of hit him up on Instagram and we're like, hey, uh, really, really love your producing style. If you've got any time, we'd love to record with you. And that was basically it. We just had two songs.

11:03?Yeah.

11:03DanielIt was very spontaneous and we just got in the studio.

11:06QuentinHe was very stoked. We were very stoked. It was, yeah.

11:09HostI mean, it's, it feels like a perfect match because he has this feel also like analog vibe kind of. How did you record? Digital? Probably not.

11:20DanielBut like, nothing, like, only like processing in the box and stuff, but like playing with pedals and amps and shit, everything. Um, but yeah, that was, that was really spontaneous, I guess. And we, we are also kind of like to record stuff on just one day and just kind of.

11:39HostHow much did you record? How much did you record? A couple songs?

11:41?Two songs.

11:42DanielWe recorded two songs and, uh.

11:44HostFirst time working with a producer?

11:46DanielNo, not really. Like, all the other releases were sort of, yeah. We, we work with people, uh, who recorded it, engineered it and produced to a lot of degree. Um, but yeah, we like to do things ourself a lot of the time. Like, songwriting wise, uh, or like we have a sort of, uh.

12:06QuentinIt's not like we have the tools and the, the knowledge to really do the production stuff and the mixing stuff, but we, like.

12:12DanielBut we got it all in our fucking heads.

12:14HostYeah, well, you're fucking young. Of course. We don't expect you to be, to know the freaking technical shit. Not yet. Not yet.

12:22HostI'm afraid that you, like, usually with young people, I'm afraid that they will get spoiled or get, like, sidetracked and get lost. And some other stuff, you know, like, like, I mean, it's normal stuff, but when I do interviews, you know, like, you never know.

12:37?That's just life. Yeah.

12:39HostHow was, uh, you opened for a full beat, right? Once.

12:43HostHow was that? I mean, many bands would like, would kill for them.

12:48?That's hot.

12:49DanielYeah, it was, it was really, really fucking hot. Uh, almost.

12:53HostThat's not an excuse.

12:58DanielAnd, uh, also very weird because, like, there's a big backstage and stuff and not really used to that.

13:05HostI won't be surprised if it's your first experience on a big stage with big people or did you play it? Because I don't know.

13:11DanielWell, no, we played, uh, Novarok the year before. So, that was...

13:22HostI mean, there's nothing to be ashamed of. It's normal. It's fine.

13:25QuentinIt's not nepotism, so it's okay.

13:28HostSo, uh, you recorded all the stuff. You played with, uh, big stars, let's say, like this. Uh, what's now? What, what, what, what's... So, you're gonna play today?

13:38HostYou're gonna play today. I think, uh, you're the second one. Yeah, second one, so, right? We're recording just before the show. Um, uh, new material. Let's talk about material. Are you working on new material? Yes. They, they not, yes. They not.

13:55QuentinSo, I said it's, like, 50-50. Yes, it's, like, unreleased songs and, and songs that are all read, but there's music coming. When? Let's put it that way.

14:04HostNext year, January.

14:09QuentinIn that time frame, we don't know. Someone.

14:11?Exactly. Someone like that.

14:12HostAll right. Because I always, like, say, like, give, like, a date and then I see by reaction, which means, if it's January, it means that, and you're like, eh, you have three or four things, uh, like, radio or in the works.

14:29QuentinWell, there's some background stuff, yeah.

14:31?There's some background stuff. Yeah, right.

14:33DanielLike, like I said, we, we, we like to do things spontaneous, so.

14:37HostOkay, freaking liars.

14:40HostSo, are you planning to work with the producer?

14:44DanielYeah, I think, I think, yeah, I think we can say that it's going to be Fatsu again, yeah.

14:47HostFatsu again, okay, right, okay. Shout out to Fatsu again. Of course. All right, so, okay, stylistically, musically, similar style?

14:57?Yeah. Yeah.

14:58HostSimilar style, right?

14:59HostAny plans to sing in German?

15:01DanielNo, not really.

15:07DanielIt's not really something I'm planning to.

15:10QuentinChanging up in the middle of your career, right? I think. Yeah. I mean, Leftover's way, I don't want to say that it wasn't weird. No, no. But when they had, they had songs on their first EP in German, I think. Sure, yeah. So, it's not that weird.

15:20HostYeah, but I think they're a bit older than you, so they were going to say.

15:23DanielI would just like four or three years, two years. Yeah, something like that.

15:31HostSo, I mean, you never know. You never know. You never know. I'm comparing you to Leftover's because it's like a young band that I have in my head. Yeah.

15:41QuentinThere's not too much bands you can pinpoint to.

15:43?Right.

15:44QuentinIn the harder music show in Vienna, right? That are sub 30 years old.

15:51HostYeah, well, kind of. Yes, yes. But, yeah. It's just a thing that I remember because I interviewed them. That's the only thing, you know, like, I always compare it to the stuff that I did before. All right. So, new stuff is coming up, like, January and stuff. Gigs? Are planning gigs in this year?

16:11DanielThere's one left, but I think we can't say. Maybe yet.

16:15QuentinSo, when is this coming out? Like, next week. Next week. Next week.

16:19DanielNo, I don't know. No, let's not. Just in case.

16:23HostOkay, one week after.

16:26QuentinSo, let's just say. There's maybe a show in Vienna at the Götl. Yeah.

16:33HostYeah, but it's not our show. It's just opening events. Ah, you got invited? You got invited for somebody. Yeah, okay, I understand. So, no. We don't really want to say anything right now. Yeah, no, I get it.

16:46HostAll right. So, you have, so far, you don't have any merchandise or physical stuff, right? Not yet, do you? We got some.

16:55DanielWe haven't got much left, though.

16:58HostAh. That's it. Limited edition is out.

17:01QuentinYeah, like two weeks ago, we did, like, the leftovers. The leftovers still. We were selling them on Instagram for our cheap, and some people picked it up. Yeah. But we have hoodies left, I think. And, of course, cassettes. We did cassettes from my first EP with Branko, Tape Capital Music. He's here today.

17:20HostThe organizer and promoter of today's event.

17:23QuentinKing. Shout out Branko. Shout out Tape Capital Music.

17:26?Tape Capital Music.

17:27HostWhere can people buy it or order it?

17:31QuentinI think on his Bandcamp. I think on Bandcamp. Bandcamp slash Tape Capital Music. Or you can just hit us up, I guess. Yeah.

17:37DanielJust hit us up on Instagram.

17:41HostBecause I don't think you linked, or maybe you linked to your, to Tape Capital on Instagram. Never mind. People can address you.

17:48QuentinActually, you can buy it on a Bandcamp, too.

17:52QuentinYeah, cassettes and shirts.

17:54?That's funny.

17:54DanielYeah, I saw the shirts. I saw the shirts, and we don't have any shirts left.

17:58QuentinI have to take that down. Oh, my God.

18:00?Yeah.

18:03QuentinI sold one shirt on Bandcamp. That was true.

18:05HostDon't tell this to anybody. Say that you sold, like, 50 shirts, and there's, like, two left. That you know the real stuff. Show business people. Like, I tell you to new young people, you know. It's all fake, man. It's all fake. It's all fake. It's all fake. Fake it till you make it, and then you just die in dirt. Or you go up. That's it, you know. You lie.

18:28DanielGo up in flames or die in dirt.

18:29HostYou die in dirt. Man. And that's it. It's a good advice till the end. Guys, thank you very much. Thank you. We will follow you on Instagram and see your show today. And that's it. Anything to say?

18:46DanielThanks for the interview. Yeah, thanks. Of course. Thanks. Listen to my songs. Wait a second. It's not the end.

18:50HostIt's not the end. Could you please give me one song that I should put in the end of this interview?

22:10HostI'm Selena. That's true.

22:35HostWell, your band is Orange Sky, so you're kind of like...

22:40HostYeah, I mean, it's not a rule, but you decided to go with it, I guess. I don't know. What was the decision behind the name?

23:08?And you can see like the skyline of Vienna. And we were standing there after rehearsal. And the sky was orange, like the sun was going down. And we were looking for band names and just like saying these random words that like could go with the band.

23:31HostI think it works. I don't know. Especially when you dress up in orange outfits, you know, it's a little bit different. Because if you have black band, black something, and you are black, it's like pretty similar. I mean, same stuff. Okay, so at the moment we're going to write Wikipedia page about you, right? So when did you start as a band?

23:57HostAnd we should mention that the drummer is not here.

24:01HostSubstitute, say hello, Substitute.

24:05HostWhat's your name, Substitute?

24:34HostBecause you're playing speed metal?

24:43HostI should have said jungle.

25:24HostActually, you know, like I didn't even think about you as an all-female band, you know. Thank you. No, no, really. It's just, it's maybe because I interview all-female bands all the time. I know it's a normal thing. It's not a feature, I would say. But you didn't say what covers did you do? What bands?

25:50?The Beatles?

25:58?I don't think so.

26:01HostI think I'm gaslighting you. I don't know. I'm just guessing because I know that you have a TikTok and I checked out your TikTok quickly, like really quickly. Not all of them. But you mentioned something that's like between Beatles and Rolling Stones. You chose, what? What did you choose?

26:27HostAnd then in between it's Motley Crue.

26:31HostAll right. So that's your influences. I feel it. All right. Because what music do you play? We need to tell people what kind of music. What the theme of the evening is people hate genres, but at the same time, it's a new thing when you have like a super constructed genre thing. That's what I tell it with Mona K about also. What do you play? What kind of music?

27:33HostYou know, like Led Zeppelin was also a pop band for people to discover, you know, like in the Beatles also the pop band, you know, the same thing. But okay. So I actually saw you live at Chelsea when you're playing the Girtle Connection, I think. Yeah, I really like the gig. All right. So how much, so you have stuff online, right? But not so much. How many songs? Three singles or something?

28:04HostSo what are you working on at the moment?

28:26HostI'm the first band that says like, we want to do a Christmas song.

28:32HostYou're like freaking satanic band in disguise.

28:42HostAll right. I think you found your niche.

28:46HostYou play the music that nobody wants to play.

28:49?Yeah, exactly.

28:52HostValentine's. So we have Easter. We have Valentine's, Christmas, New Year's.

28:58?Yeah.

29:01HostOkay, just, just cover like, what's, what's the cherry? What's, what's the, the, the Christmas song, the most famous song that people hate?

29:12HostAll the songs. Just cover, make the whole album, Christmas songs. And you, you go, go, you go, not orange, but golden.

29:23?Christmas songs.

29:32HostNo, I'm joking. It's like, I mean, like, but are you planning, are you signed to tape Capital Records? Yeah.

29:38?Yeah.

29:39HostIt's your, it's like you, you wrote to me, like, I asked about the interview, like, talk to our management.

29:47HostBut you, well, yeah, yeah. It was like a test almost because I already talked to them. That's why I was talking to you. That's about our, we didn't even know that. I know, I know, I know. Everybody did the, the right thing. Yeah. Yeah. But it was funny. It's like, oh, talk to our management. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Been there. All right. So, November, right? Stylistically, music, same thing, going 70s, Led Zeppelin, or you're changing a little bit?

30:23HostAre you planning any gigs in the next couple, I mean, till the end of the year, let's say like this.

30:39HostRight. I mean, time by go so fast. Like it's so, like last time I saw you at Gürtel Connection, now again.

30:48HostYeah, that's what I mean. It was the last year. So are you planning to like have a specific show, not Orange this time?

31:12?Exhausting.

31:18HostOf course it's important. It's a performance on stage. Respect the stage.

31:31HostAll right. What's your like inner motivation for playing tonight? Right? Like what's the God's Goku? No, no, no. It's not a question. No, it's not a question. No, no, no. Yeah. But so I lost my thought about because I went through. You said acting and stuff. I was like, oh, yeah, something about acting.

31:51HostAnyway, music videos. Did you do? I didn't check. Did you do music videos? Not yet.

31:56?Not yet.

31:56HostThat's why I was surprised about it, right? That you're a band that should make a music video. Like Monok did a music video. Like I'm joking.

32:26HostMaybe you're overthinking everything.

32:34?Overthinking. Everything.

32:38HostThere's an iPhone cover. Like don't overthink it. But I guess it's not working.

32:46HostSo what are your next steps? So you already have like a... Is tape capital like a label or it's like a management or both? Both, both, both. So you're already signed basically, right? So what's the plan? You're going to tour around Austria outside. What's the plan? Christmas edition?

33:42HostYou already have ideas about the album. Is it going to be a concept album or concept album? Everybody's like shaking. Overthinking everything.

33:53HostIs it going to be like Led Zeppelin singing about citrus? I mean, I wish.

34:04HostYeah, but OK, concept album. Can you say like a theme or something like this or heartbreak?

34:18HostYou had one song, right? At least about. A couple songs.

34:46HostSo you think, so are you already have an idea or you're looking for an idea?

34:52HostSo it's like a backup idea.

34:54?Yeah.

34:56?Yeah.

35:12HostIs it going to be musically the same or you're trying to experiment also with some kind of different influences like musical genres or something like adding more instruments or something?

35:32HostBecause you're not, you're just singing, right?

35:57HostSo that might take us somewhere, I don't know, it could be, uh, do the Led Zeppelin thing, go to, I don't know, Scotland in a mansion, close yourself, put like in a weird or like, uh, the, the, uh, bitch boys, like put animals on the record or something, go to the farm.

36:16?Easy.

36:17HostYou're, you're in already in that, uh, like music, uh, theme, let's say like, it's like a feeling of like creative freedom. So you can, I mean, you can experiment with anything new. All right. Uh, thank you very much for the interview. Uh, what song should I put at the end of the interview? Your song of the band. A good introduction to your band. Come on, quickly. Oh. There's only three. Come on.

39:52HostAll right, guys, finally I know who is who because of, because you have your like funky names and stuff, but you know, I didn't have time to pro, I mean, I know your music, right? Some new faces for me, right? Some people I know, but you know, one thing is to have your funky names and another thing when you mentioned them, who is who? Anyways, so today you're playing at Sonic Heartbreak Festival. First time I'm going to see you live. Finally, I love your music. Been listening to you since first album of Trash Bones, so it's a cave one. There's a grave one, right? Yes, exactly. My favorite song from all of it is Chicken Wings. The chicken wings.

40:36HostChicken wings. Chicken legs. Legs, whatever, chicken wings. But I like chicken wings in general. So tell me somebody, one of you, one of the seven plus members, how are you doing so far? Like musically? What's the, how's the tour going? Like the previous gigs, just in general updates. Let's update the Wikipedia page.

41:03HostNot a tour, live.

41:11HostYeah, that's what I'm complaining about. What the fuck?

41:14HostBut you don't play in Vienna that often. You play outside.

41:20HostYeah.

42:14HostIs the Chelsea a kind of special? You're also playing with somebody or it's just your solo show?

42:29HostI like that six, how many people want? Six. Six. Six people don't know.

42:42?Stereo. You're musicians.

42:51?No, it's gonna be Stereo Death Ray.

43:13HostYou know, it's funny, like, in description of the bands, you wrote garage punk, I think, as a music genre of the Thresh Bones.

43:22?Neanderthal punk. Neanderthal punk?

43:25HostI'm talking to, like, this is a new trend among musicians, you know, like, usually they don't like, it's also the theme of tonight. Usually they don't like genres at all, but recently everybody started to call themselves in a really specific genre, like Neanderthal punk. The monarchy, they have some kind of other, like, genre, you know, like, this is like, everybody has, like, a super, super, super, like, niche genre.

44:03HostDon't, don't say that. Never say that. Don't, don't show the real car. It's always lying. It's all show business. It's all fake anyways. So, Neanderthal punk. Okay, are you working on the new material at the moment? Because we have two albums at the moment, right? Also, some singles came out, but it's from 2018, maybe? Yeah. Yeah, correct. It was pre-COVID. New music, anything?

44:34HostPerfect. Three years, in the last three years. So, yes.

44:51HostYeah, but what's stopping you from the last kick? Should I kick you? Work!

44:58HostExcuses, excuses, excuses. Come on, get together, sex people, and make it happen.

45:09HostInternet?

45:10?Eh.

45:16HostYou do only analog. Analog, tape to tape, triple A, analog, analog, analog. That's why it takes so long.

45:26HostOkay, so, but if we're talking about three years, new material, is it somehow different from the stuff from before? Like, stylistically?

46:00HostSame but different, so I mean, well, it's the same but different, it's the whole point of it. You heard about ACDC, right?

46:15HostAnd do you do covers of other bands? I don't think so, I've never heard of them.

46:23HostEminem. Eminem, Eminem a little bit. No, no, no, no. Bring back Eminem, like, so you can do it.

46:27?No, no, no.

46:47HostAll right, but if you do covers of what, who do you cover? Like something, rock and roll type or somebody completely different?

47:15HostSo, it's time to cover Eminem and do Christmas edition. You have time. I talked to Orange Skies. They're going to do the Christmas song, I think. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. And they're going to do Valentine's also. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Big secret out, you know. So, you can also do that. Maybe Christmas is too early. Valentine's, just right. If you start right now, you can spit out a good single.

47:59?You remember?

48:13HostWell, Elvis Presley, a Christmas special, iconic.

48:17?Yeah, yeah, yeah.

48:19HostDo the same thing, write Elvis in the back of the stage. Just copy it. Like, do the cover of Elvis.

48:35HostYou see how easy it is, you know? You just need to sell what you're sold to the commercial devil and that's it.

48:53HostOkay, so you have, in the last three years, you have this material. When do you want to release the album?

49:08HostYeah, but this is before the COVID, this is like 2018. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

49:12?Yes, yes.

49:14HostBut it's not three years. Two years.

49:39HostBecause you always record, you release it on vinyl, right? It's like a big thing, right? So, of course, of COVID, you need to wait like 10 years to get it. Yes.

49:57?Shout out.

49:58HostShout out to that label.

50:02HostSo, and now, okay, so, okay, so you have nothing and nothing is coming out anytime soon, right? Exactly. So, what's the point? To write something?

50:34HostNo chance. I can't wait till 25. Why?

50:56HostI'll talk to the Sonic people from the festival. We'll close you today in the green room. You can't come out the whole night and then we'll get the single out of you. You have your music instruments here. Yeah. Yeah, right? So, stop complaining and make some music.

51:17HostOf course. Who else is going to complain for the people? I'm going to be the angry comment guy. You can go tell me to fuck myself. Rehearsal room.

51:35?A coach.

51:40HostYou don't work with producers, right?

51:42?No, no, no.

51:44HostSelf-produced. So, you don't mix, right? Who's mixing?

51:53HostAlright, alright. And you do the covers?

52:00HostAlright, cool. So, the album is coming soon. Alright.

52:06HostYou're having like too many shows. So, you're going pretty well.

53:13HostYeah, but for six people it's actually a lot to organize all that stuff. I'm actually surprised that they're like working.

53:33HostQuid or bands make music?

54:01HostYeah. Let's finish on the optimistic, really optimistic, like note that music is coming out this December, Christmas edition. Super simple, like, just cover, like, I don't know, what's her name? Britney Spears or Dolly. Why not?

54:25?So many opportunities just to embarrass yourself. Do it for the sake of us. All right, guys, I don't want to bother you too much.

54:34HostWhich song should I put at the end of the episode of Trashville?

54:38?Berlin on Fire.

57:24HostAll right, guys. How are you doing? First of all, never seen your life. You're a fresh band, right? When did you start? This year?

57:38HostWe met actually at many parties.

57:46HostI can tell you, well, first of all...

57:52HostSo, did...

57:54HostYou're Reverend Blackflesh, right?

58:03HostEven more, I interviewed them at the Sonic Heartbreak Festival last year. You were there also.

58:10HostYes, I've seen you live. Pretty much. Yes. But after that and before that, we've seen each other many, many, many times. That's true.

58:22HostI don't remember shit. Me neither.

58:32HostGlam rock? You would say glam rock?

58:38?Okay, what do you think?

58:52HostAll right, so basically rock and roll with glitter. That's what we're talking about.

58:59?All right.

58:59HostOr eyeliner. What's the difference? Eyeliner or glitter?

59:09?Yeah.

59:10HostIt's a state of soul.

59:19HostThat sounds nasty.

59:25?It should be.

59:25HostIt should be. And that's the real soul of rock and roll. It comes from the inside. All right. So you're playing this music. When did you start?

60:52HostAnd it's actually like a big thing. So wait a second. You wanted, you were playing drums and then Pinky, you're playing drums. I'm a drummer. A drummer, like normally, normally. And this time you play guitar. And you?

61:05HostAnd so everybody became like a little bit different.

61:18HostSo how does it feel right now?

61:23HostWere you nervous that it's going to work out or not? Yeah.

63:02HostAnd that's how I, I heard that you should like idea. Like there is a thing, like idea is good when you can take an idea and go beyond that idea. Yeah. And it feels like that, you know, you started with something and like, oh, we can do even something even better. Yeah.

63:43HostBut at the moment we talked about the workflow. So the workflow works. We see that. What about the theme or the thematic, like, because it's completely different thing, right? Like, the, the, what you sing about, the music is about, how, how is that working out?

64:02HostNo, it's just like, like, what you're talking about is the process of creating. Yeah. And what I'm talking about is like, what's changed in your, maybe not approach, but what you think about the lyrical theme, the, the, the topical theme maybe of the music. Did something change or not? Well.

65:01HostI mean, I, I listened to your music a bit online, of course, and I heard a little bit of the soundcheck and it's like really in a, did, did, did, did you like, because we're recording right before the, the show, right? Was it with you, the Police Academy theme? Yes.

66:03?I was standing outside and the Police Academy starts. I was like, I was like, there was nobody there. I was like, well, is it, is it me or what? Like, what the hell is it? What the fuck is going on? I know it. It's Police Academy. Is it for real?

66:30HostI mean, for me, it was immediately brought memories because I grew up with Police Academy from one to seven. Okay. Not seven, but the first.

66:39?Yeah.

66:48HostSo it's your Metallica, this Ecstasy for Gold intro.

66:57HostThat's what the vibe I got from your band is just like fun rock and roll stuff, you know? Yeah. Like fun stuff like you can dance to.

67:13HostI mean, if it's like fun all the time, it's not, you will not get the roller coaster effect of the emotions, you know?

68:31HostI mean, with that title, you can have like a several, like a B sides, like, like a versions. I mean, that's, that's, I never thought about that, that you can get, I mean, I'm not sure what you get. You can actually never thought that you can like play on the title and then make a song out of it, which is, I think you struck gold here. It's time to remix all kinds of songs.

68:55?Yeah.

69:19?Yeah.

69:52?All the, all the lyrics are very honest. Yeah. And it's not like you write something down. I did this when I was starting out the music. I need lyrics. Yeah. I need lyrics. Let's write something down. Fire desire. Roll the dice. I'm, you know, shit. But now I'm enjoying working on the lyrics and doing something really good that I can tell in interviews. I'm just doing it for you.

70:13HostWhat are you working now at the moment? Like, like, are you working on the new material right now with the band?

70:43HostBut that's what, like, you know, I was giving shit to wild evil that they're like, you should really release material as soon as and they're like, Oh, we don't have time. Like bullshit. Quit, quit your families and jobs and make a job. Yeah.

71:20HostPlus you have a support of Pocus Empire, right? Like you're like saying to them, right?

71:33?Yeah.

71:34HostThere's like a photo of you like signing with Marco Polko, like the contract.

72:01?Yeah.

72:01HostSomehow I got all, all the band members around Turbo Beer. Like, like, Lux, like, I go with a shark. Also, you know, like all the kinds of like, like, I'm walking around.

72:14HostSomeday we'll get to Marco Polko, like with the interview. Like, but for now.

72:24?All right.

72:24HostSo, EPs, right? Yeah.

72:50HostIf you've gotten a new haircut, maybe I'll be in the video.

72:57HostPhotoshop everything.

72:58?All right, guys. I don't want to bother you too much.

73:01HostSo, music is coming out. That's cool. What song should I put at the end of the interview of your band?

73:09?A good introduction.
