I met the guys before. They're all 112 00:05:31,053 --> 00:05:33,413 Speaker 3: the grad below, and I just I kind of individually 113 00:05:33,493 --> 00:05:36,573 Speaker 3: hit them up. And we were fifteen and sixteen at 114 00:05:36,573 --> 00:05:36,893 Speaker 3: the time. 115 00:05:36,973 --> 00:05:39,253 Speaker 4: And we realized the other day that we've been in 116 00:05:39,293 --> 00:05:43,533 Speaker 4: a band from like half of our lives, which is awesome, 117 00:05:44,333 --> 00:05:46,573 Speaker 4: and we're as close as ever, like we're all best friends. 118 00:05:46,653 --> 00:05:49,973 Speaker 4: Jasira's like been my best friend for like fifteen years now, 119 00:05:50,293 --> 00:05:52,133 Speaker 4: and I feel really lucky because no matter what happens 120 00:05:52,133 --> 00:05:55,253 Speaker 4: on tour, we love hanging out together. So, like you know, 121 00:05:55,773 --> 00:05:58,853 Speaker 4: it's quite lovely. And no matter what happens, we know 122 00:05:58,933 --> 00:06:00,653 Speaker 4: how to support each other. We don't how to press 123 00:06:00,653 --> 00:06:04,853 Speaker 4: each other's buttons. It's like a really like, really happy family. 124 00:06:05,413 --> 00:06:07,213 Speaker 3: And I think it really affect the music as well. 125 00:06:07,293 --> 00:06:10,653 Speaker 4: Everyone's so supportive and like we see eye to eye, 126 00:06:10,653 --> 00:06:11,653 Speaker 4: which is awesome. 127 00:06:11,853 --> 00:06:13,933 Speaker 2: That's interesting. Tell me how explain to us a bit 128 00:06:13,933 --> 00:06:15,693 Speaker 2: more about how it fixed the music. 129 00:06:16,693 --> 00:06:18,853 Speaker 4: Well, I think it's just nice to know that it's 130 00:06:19,213 --> 00:06:23,533 Speaker 4: a safe, supported place. Like, for instance, with me making music, 131 00:06:25,093 --> 00:06:27,413 Speaker 4: I like to change the sound according to what I'm 132 00:06:27,413 --> 00:06:30,133 Speaker 4: into at the time, and when you first start out music, 133 00:06:30,213 --> 00:06:31,653 Speaker 4: that could be kind of confronting, do you know what 134 00:06:31,653 --> 00:06:33,813 Speaker 4: I mean? Like our first record, a lot of people 135 00:06:33,813 --> 00:06:36,653 Speaker 4: would have assumed the second record should be exactly the same. 136 00:06:37,693 --> 00:06:41,333 Speaker 4: And what I kind of naturally discovered was it just 137 00:06:41,373 --> 00:06:44,013 Speaker 4: makes sense to make the music you really like, even 138 00:06:44,053 --> 00:06:46,773 Speaker 4: though it can be risky at times. And the band 139 00:06:46,973 --> 00:06:49,853 Speaker 4: was so supportive even though it was spooky and risky. 140 00:06:49,893 --> 00:06:52,533 Speaker 3: They were like, just do what feels good. We got 141 00:06:52,533 --> 00:06:52,893 Speaker 3: you back. 142 00:06:53,733 --> 00:06:56,493 Speaker 4: And for me, knowing that support network is there makes 143 00:06:56,493 --> 00:07:00,093 Speaker 4: me feel just free to adventure and experiment, which is 144 00:07:00,493 --> 00:07:01,693 Speaker 4: like a really lucky place to be. 145 00:07:01,933 --> 00:07:04,413 Speaker 2: So that's really interesting because I can imagine that there 146 00:07:04,453 --> 00:07:10,973 Speaker 2: are partial upsides and potential downsides creativity from a creative perspective, 147 00:07:11,853 --> 00:07:14,733 Speaker 2: because you know, in some respects, having some tension is 148 00:07:14,733 --> 00:07:16,573 Speaker 2: good when you can push, when you're pushing back against 149 00:07:16,613 --> 00:07:18,133 Speaker 2: each other and saying, oh, actually, I think we need 150 00:07:18,173 --> 00:07:20,613 Speaker 2: to tweat that. I need to tweak that. But in another sense, 151 00:07:20,933 --> 00:07:24,693 Speaker 2: being so safe with the other people who you're performing 152 00:07:24,733 --> 00:07:27,813 Speaker 2: with to be able to just take massive risks and 153 00:07:27,893 --> 00:07:29,453 Speaker 2: know that there's not going to be any judgment or 154 00:07:29,453 --> 00:07:32,093 Speaker 2: anything like that, that you actually give an absolute total 155 00:07:32,133 --> 00:07:35,213 Speaker 2: creative freedom to go off in a completely new direction. 156 00:07:35,373 --> 00:07:36,933 Speaker 2: That that's must be liberating. 157 00:07:37,813 --> 00:07:38,613 Speaker 3: It is great and. 158 00:07:38,573 --> 00:07:40,893 Speaker 4: Like, and don't get me wrong, like we do, you know, 159 00:07:40,973 --> 00:07:44,493 Speaker 4: we do offer insights and constructive criticism to each other. 160 00:07:44,493 --> 00:07:47,973 Speaker 4: Like I remember when when I made heavy Hearted, which 161 00:07:48,013 --> 00:07:51,333 Speaker 4: is like our first dance song really you know, previously 162 00:07:51,373 --> 00:07:54,333 Speaker 4: that it was like more rock based pop stuff. And 163 00:07:54,373 --> 00:07:56,453 Speaker 4: I remember Andrew, my bass player, was like, dude, like, 164 00:07:57,173 --> 00:07:59,653 Speaker 4: we can't, we can't release this as a dance music 165 00:07:59,933 --> 00:08:01,373 Speaker 4: and I was like, no, I think it's fine, Like 166 00:08:01,413 --> 00:08:02,813 Speaker 4: I just I really like this. I think it's like 167 00:08:02,853 --> 00:08:05,013 Speaker 4: well crafted, it feels like exactly what I want to do. 168 00:08:05,333 --> 00:08:08,413 Speaker 4: And we just had this back and forth and in 169 00:08:08,453 --> 00:08:10,573 Speaker 4: the end, like I think he more understood, like it 170 00:08:10,653 --> 00:08:12,333 Speaker 4: was a bigger part of the record. But I really 171 00:08:12,333 --> 00:08:15,093 Speaker 4: did like that conversation because he was like, dude, this 172 00:08:15,133 --> 00:08:15,693 Speaker 4: is dance music. 173 00:08:15,733 --> 00:08:18,733 Speaker 3: I know. Like, yeah, I think we're doing dance music now. 174 00:08:19,653 --> 00:08:20,733 Speaker 3: But yeah, you know, I. 175 00:08:20,693 --> 00:08:22,613 Speaker 4: Think we're all kind of used to the idea of 176 00:08:23,373 --> 00:08:24,973 Speaker 4: making the music that feels good first. 177 00:08:25,053 --> 00:08:26,053 Speaker 3: You know what I mean. I think that's the best 178 00:08:26,053 --> 00:08:27,613 Speaker 3: thing you can do for your fans is make music 179 00:08:27,613 --> 00:08:27,933 Speaker 3: in love. 180 00:08:28,293 --> 00:08:31,613 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's honest, which is what people want. It's authentic. Right, 181 00:08:32,533 --> 00:08:34,253 Speaker 2: who's changed the most since high school? 182 00:08:36,853 --> 00:08:37,053 Speaker 3: You know? 183 00:08:37,053 --> 00:08:40,533 Speaker 4: It's funny, like none of us have changed. Like it's funny. 184 00:08:40,533 --> 00:08:42,733 Speaker 4: I feel like we're all the exact same people. I 185 00:08:42,773 --> 00:08:47,373 Speaker 4: will say, maybe Keeling, our drummer. Yeah, he's a very 186 00:08:47,373 --> 00:08:50,053 Speaker 4: similar guy. But he's just added like a lot of 187 00:08:50,613 --> 00:08:53,453 Speaker 4: elements to his life. Like he's just about to get 188 00:08:53,453 --> 00:08:58,213 Speaker 4: his pilot's license. Yeah, he's like he's just like the 189 00:08:58,253 --> 00:09:00,133 Speaker 4: bad grillers of the band. He's just got all these 190 00:09:00,133 --> 00:09:00,893 Speaker 4: like adventurous things. 191 00:09:00,933 --> 00:09:01,333 Speaker 3: He likes. 192 00:09:01,333 --> 00:09:04,853 Speaker 4: He likes bows and arrows, he loves going on like 193 00:09:04,853 --> 00:09:07,773 Speaker 4: like three week camping trips with like no food and 194 00:09:07,813 --> 00:09:10,053 Speaker 4: like figuring it out and the hunting and stuff. I 195 00:09:10,093 --> 00:09:13,133 Speaker 4: think for him, he's definitely gone a lot that kind 196 00:09:13,173 --> 00:09:15,373 Speaker 4: of way. He's become more bad grills as the years ago. 197 00:09:15,733 --> 00:09:17,413 Speaker 2: He should probably have been the one on the jit 198 00:09:17,493 --> 00:09:18,973 Speaker 2: Ski one hundred. 199 00:09:19,293 --> 00:09:20,173 Speaker 3: He would have been fine too. 200 00:09:21,693 --> 00:09:26,853 Speaker 2: Hey, you guys said that writing residency in LA recently, right, Yeah? 201 00:09:26,933 --> 00:09:27,293 Speaker 2: How was that? 202 00:09:28,253 --> 00:09:30,173 Speaker 3: It was great?
