So yes, 0:01:39.040 --> 0:01:41.959 we have made June on the episode today. So exciting 0:01:41.959 --> 0:01:43.959 because May June is one of I would say like 0:01:44.000 --> 0:01:46.440 my favorite bands to come out of South Auckland in 0:01:46.480 --> 0:01:49.720 the last year or so. They've only been together really 0:01:49.720 --> 0:01:53.400 for like four or five months. Hectic pictic but really 0:01:53.440 --> 0:01:57.000 like Epoch Boys, that's TiVo, Elijah and Jeremiah. 0:01:57.320 --> 0:01:59.240 So cool that we could finally get them in the studio. 0:01:59.800 --> 0:02:03.560 But guys, before the episode starts, we do have to 0:02:03.560 --> 0:02:06.880 preface by saying, I don't know what it was. I 0:02:07.000 --> 0:02:10.440 was just having a really off day and I just 0:02:10.480 --> 0:02:12.519 feel like the recording is not the best. 0:02:13.040 --> 0:02:15.760 But in terms of it happens, and that's. 0:02:15.639 --> 0:02:17.880 Why we kind of want to put it out anyway, 0:02:18.360 --> 0:02:21.320 because you can see that just because we're award winning 0:02:21.320 --> 0:02:24.359 doesn't mean that we don't also sometimes fuck up a recording. 0:02:24.560 --> 0:02:26.240 But I would say a lot of it fell on me. 0:02:26.360 --> 0:02:30.080 And for which I have already apologized to everyone involved, 0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:32.120 but you know what I tell her, don't say sorry. 0:02:32.120 --> 0:02:34.160 If you say sorry one more time, girl, men, you 0:02:34.200 --> 0:02:34.840 will be sorry. 0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:37.120 But I just feel like I really like May June. 0:02:37.160 --> 0:02:40.000 I got really, really nervous. I got a little bit 0:02:40.040 --> 0:02:42.840 too in my head about the whole thing. Normally very confident, 0:02:43.960 --> 0:02:46.600 very good at the Tellna. 0:02:46.800 --> 0:02:48.720 Chick, and I just wasn't really this time. 0:02:48.760 --> 0:02:52.359 So if you would do us the honor of bearing 0:02:52.360 --> 0:02:54.440 with us during this episode, that would be incredible. 0:02:54.919 --> 0:02:56.600 But also go on stream May. 0:02:56.560 --> 0:02:59.800 June on all the streaming platforms possible because their music 0:02:59.880 --> 0:03:01.960 is so cool and they're doing something that's really really 0:03:02.000 --> 0:03:07.919 really I think, like cool and different and interesting and 0:03:07.919 --> 0:03:11.119 and it's great, Like it's genuinely really good music.

They take up build like 0:06:38.800 --> 0:06:41.680 four or five six hourses all look the same. It's 0:06:41.680 --> 0:06:44.880 not the one A and they build them so fast. 0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:47.839 I'm very passionate.

No, definitely not. 0:06:50.920 --> 0:06:51.600 They're just ugly. 0:06:51.960 --> 0:06:52.480 I hate it. 0:06:52.520 --> 0:06:54.520 But yeah, that's something I love about home and something 0:06:54.520 --> 0:06:55.680 I don't love about home period. 0:06:55.680 --> 0:06:57.599 You say that, your chicks. 0:06:59.560 --> 0:07:02.320 Something I love about home is probably the kitchen table. 0:07:03.240 --> 0:07:07.680 Oh yeah, nothing beats like sharing a meal with your 0:07:07.920 --> 0:07:11.560 your friends or your family. And it's probably something I've 0:07:11.560 --> 0:07:13.880 taken for granted. Recently, I sat on the table recently 0:07:13.960 --> 0:07:18.680 and my uncle was cooking in the kitchen and he 0:07:18.760 --> 0:07:20.800 went off on a spiel about his life and some 0:07:21.000 --> 0:07:27.560 more and the world of Catholic and yeah. 0:07:26.400 --> 0:07:29.040 I love that. So I think a lot of people 0:07:29.080 --> 0:07:31.760 will relate to that for sure. And that is what 0:07:31.800 --> 0:07:33.040 we love about Home this week. 0:07:33.200 --> 0:07:33.640 Exactly. 0:07:34.720 --> 0:07:38.080 Every good band has a name, and Maijune has one 0:07:38.120 --> 0:07:39.360 of the best names that we know of. 0:07:40.120 --> 0:07:42.600 Please tell us how the name Maijrine came today. 0:07:42.480 --> 0:07:45.200 No girl, because UNLESSA just told me, I told you. 0:07:45.160 --> 0:07:48.800 The story, what a story do tell? 0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:52.520 I actually said I wouldn't tell, like tell today. 0:07:52.400 --> 0:07:56.680 On interviews, break it, break it for this, just just 0:07:56.680 --> 0:07:59.480 this once for for Alan Rooms, walking ways, thank you, 0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:04.040 Like man, it's the most anti climax.

We've all kind of grown up with 0:09:09.920 --> 0:09:13.320 similar they clicked the kind of styles of music that 0:09:13.360 --> 0:09:16.960 we've listened to, But the way we approach it is like, 0:09:17.240 --> 0:09:20.200 you know, slightly different for each of us. So I think, yeah, 0:09:20.520 --> 0:09:23.000 kind of that that molded together makes. 0:09:23.720 --> 0:09:25.800 You kind of all have background as a solo artists 0:09:25.840 --> 0:09:28.720 or working with other artists.

I mean it's unpack that. 0:11:07.000 --> 0:11:13.600 Grammar like most uh, you know, schools like that are 0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:15.880 kind of in that vein, you know, the grammar schools, 0:11:15.880 --> 0:11:18.800 the private schools, all of that. I think they all, 0:11:19.080 --> 0:11:21.720 you know, give a lot of opportunities that other schools 0:11:21.800 --> 0:11:24.079 might not be able to. But at the end of 0:11:24.120 --> 0:11:26.160 the day. It's like, if you're a student that's willing 0:11:26.200 --> 0:11:29.880 to learn and stuff or like wanting to be taught, 0:11:30.040 --> 0:11:32.760 then I feel like no matter where you go, really 0:11:32.840 --> 0:11:36.120 it's you know, kind of the same. But I think 0:11:37.120 --> 0:11:38.960 I just focused on my school work because they didn't 0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:43.120 really like support all of the music stuff until we 0:11:43.160 --> 0:11:47.600 started winning things and then. Yeah, so that's my take 0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:49.480 on graandmar. Yeah, it's cool, but. 0:11:49.520 --> 0:11:50.239 Not really. 0:11:51.840 --> 0:11:56.959 I can relate. What about you, TV and jams. 0:11:57.400 --> 0:11:59.400 I've been playing drums for like since I was a kid, 0:11:59.400 --> 0:12:03.400 but not proper. I think like everyone's everyone's first memory 0:12:03.400 --> 0:12:04.800 of me on the drums is like me sitting on 0:12:04.840 --> 0:12:07.439 my uncle's lap in church, and then I kind of 0:12:07.480 --> 0:12:09.320 went from there, just like mucking around in church and 0:12:09.320 --> 0:12:13.240 then didn't stop playing properly until high school. Environment that guy, 0:12:13.559 --> 0:12:18.360 So I went to talking grammar as well, but I'm younger. 0:12:18.640 --> 0:12:19.719 Yeah, yeah, but. 0:12:20.120 --> 0:12:22.400 Starting it seriously in high school mainly because of him. 0:12:22.440 --> 0:12:24.040 He told me to hurry up and like, do talk 0:12:24.040 --> 0:12:24.439 about it? 0:12:24.679 --> 0:12:31.079 Yeah, wasted potential, So I know, hurry up one year 0:12:31.200 --> 0:12:32.120 one year older please. 0:12:38.200 --> 0:12:45.120 Among Definitely, music definitely does run into the family, and 0:12:45.120 --> 0:12:46.560 then I got my voice from my dad from my 0:12:46.559 --> 0:12:47.600 parents anyway. 0:12:47.360 --> 0:12:49.280 And you and my people will know you as hals 0:12:49.920 --> 0:12:52.440 yep yep sing a songwriter. How did you get into 0:12:52.440 --> 0:12:53.720 singing and songwriting? 0:12:53.760 --> 0:12:58.400 I never really wanted to sing, but my brother kind 0:12:58.400 --> 0:13:01.480 of us to sing it his wedding one time, and 0:13:02.280 --> 0:13:03.800 well his only wedding. 0:13:03.640 --> 0:13:07.880 Su. 0:13:07.679 --> 0:13:08.520 Yeah, and. 0:13:10.000 --> 0:13:14.720 Yeah, I enjoyed that, and so I kept singing songwriting. 0:13:15.200 --> 0:13:18.080 I actually have like a like an interesting story. So 0:13:18.559 --> 0:13:21.120 I didn't have a phone in high school, so to 0:13:21.280 --> 0:13:22.839 like find new music, I used to listen to the 0:13:22.920 --> 0:13:25.000 radio a lot, and I used to listen to. 0:13:25.480 --> 0:13:26.520 The Edge. 0:13:28.360 --> 0:13:32.360 Here we listen to. 0:13:34.760 --> 0:13:38.280 And like because it was at night and they weren't 0:13:38.559 --> 0:13:40.840 telling us which song was playing, I had to write 0:13:40.840 --> 0:13:42.120 down all the lyrics to kind of. 0:13:43.840 --> 0:13:45.080 Get what the song was called. 0:13:46.040 --> 0:13:48.560 And so yeah, I think that plays into a part 0:13:48.559 --> 0:13:52.760 of why I enjoy listening to lyrics and writing lyrics. 0:13:53.600 --> 0:13:53.920 Yeah. 0:13:54.040 --> 0:13:56.160 Another thing you guys speak to a lot is the 0:13:56.160 --> 0:13:59.480 importance of it presentation. And I think it's really important 0:13:59.480 --> 0:14:02.320 that people know that specific people don't just listen to reggae. 0:14:02.400 --> 0:14:04.839 And I know that I grew up listening to types 0:14:04.840 --> 0:14:08.000 of music that wouldn't be considered like brown music as 0:14:08.040 --> 0:14:11.400 such why is it being so important for you to 0:14:11.440 --> 0:14:13.079 start major in and to be part of that kind 0:14:13.080 --> 0:14:14.480 of representation for our people. 0:14:14.600 --> 0:14:16.800 It's every one of those like questions where like we'd 0:14:16.840 --> 0:14:20.240 be hesitant on purely because of the fact that like, 0:14:20.240 --> 0:14:23.800 like say, for example, I'm pretty white passing like Wolly's 0:14:23.840 --> 0:14:26.600 less white passing, and then he's probably the most islander 0:14:26.600 --> 0:14:29.080 looking one of us. And then also the fact that 0:14:29.120 --> 0:14:32.920 we're twenty two, like do we really know anything? Probably not, 0:14:33.000 --> 0:14:36.080 but I mean, you know, we'll still give her like 0:14:36.320 --> 0:14:40.200 opinion on the thing. I think seeing people I think, regardless, 0:14:40.200 --> 0:14:44.240 seeing people that look like you whatever whatever that may 0:14:44.280 --> 0:14:49.480 be doing things is good for the wider community regardless, 0:14:49.560 --> 0:14:52.400 just to be able to like reinforce the idea that 0:14:52.440 --> 0:14:54.720 you can do what whatever you kind of want to 0:14:54.720 --> 0:14:56.360 do if you put your mind to it type of thing, 0:14:56.400 --> 0:14:59.520 and there shouldn't be really any obstacles or like barriers 0:15:00.160 --> 0:15:01.760 in your way based on the way that you look. 0:15:02.000 --> 0:15:05.080 I think, like coming into it, we didn't think that 0:15:05.080 --> 0:15:09.440 that's what we were trying to do, yeah, exactly, And 0:15:08.400 --> 0:15:12.200 it's only after these first couple of releases that we've 0:15:12.280 --> 0:15:16.240 kind of realized that there's something bigger to this. We 0:15:16.360 --> 0:15:19.040 received like a DM recently and he was like, man, 0:15:19.120 --> 0:15:21.880 I like, I really like what you guys are doing 0:15:22.400 --> 0:15:24.560 and keep it up. Like I wish I had something 0:15:24.560 --> 0:15:27.160 like this back in high school, people that look like 0:15:27.240 --> 0:15:32.320 me that I could you know, look to for Yeah, 0:15:32.480 --> 0:15:33.560 just in those spaces. 0:15:33.640 --> 0:15:37.200 It's kind of been thrust upon us in a way 0:15:37.360 --> 0:15:39.240 kind of I don't know now a lot of the time. 0:15:39.520 --> 0:15:41.600 A lot of Yeah, the times it just seems like 0:15:41.640 --> 0:15:45.040 it's almost like validation to these people. They're like, oh no, 0:15:45.600 --> 0:15:48.160 I'm not weird for listening to this stuff, like like 0:15:48.240 --> 0:15:50.480 other people that are like be listened to this, so 0:15:50.480 --> 0:15:53.560 it's like it's actually okay. That's the kind of common 0:15:53.600 --> 0:15:55.800 consensus we see in the comments. 0:15:56.320 --> 0:15:58.520 What has been your favorite part of the May June 0:15:58.600 --> 0:15:59.480 journey so far? 0:15:59.760 --> 0:16:03.680 Our first debut major and show that was that's so good. 0:16:03.840 --> 0:16:06.840 Our major and show was like they were there to like, yeah, 0:16:07.120 --> 0:16:10.200 I think yeah. The thing about our debut, like headline one, 0:16:10.600 --> 0:16:13.160 was that was people that wanted to come see us. 0:16:14.160 --> 0:16:16.600 We did do a showcase beforehand, like Jerry said at 0:16:16.640 --> 0:16:19.560 the Tuning Fork, but that wasn't necessarily people being like, oh, 0:16:19.960 --> 0:16:23.080 majorna playing let's go watch them, but these were like fans, 0:16:23.120 --> 0:16:25.520 and to be able to play for fans for the 0:16:25.560 --> 0:16:28.960 first time properly, it's definitely surreal, at least for me 0:16:29.480 --> 0:16:31.640 and Volley. I guess I guess jerious of it. 0:16:31.840 --> 0:16:41.120 And who are your influencers and music and music I. 0:16:41.160 --> 0:16:45.360 Don't know music wise, like musicality and how we sound, 0:16:45.440 --> 0:16:49.360 but influence and how we act probably like Sam like 0:16:49.520 --> 0:16:53.840 definitely plays a big factor in that and how we move. 0:16:54.320 --> 0:16:57.320 That's just yeah, yeah, sorry sem V, but that's just 0:16:57.360 --> 0:17:00.360 because I guess we've been around of ceram so it's 0:17:00.440 --> 0:17:08.000 kind of like biosmosis, he said. He said too much. 0:17:09.240 --> 0:17:14.720 Any other influences other than Sam, Shipherds Rain, Yeah, we 0:17:14.760 --> 0:17:16.720 love Ship, It's Rain.
