Speaker 4: a hit record here.

24
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 3: No, far from it. We just made a record purely

25
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 3: to amuse ourselves and having We're having fun. You like

26
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 3: kids in a candy shop kitchen sink sound we could

27
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:08,400
Speaker 3: think of and overdubs of harmonies and percussion and what

28
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 3: have you? Just just having the time of our lives.

29
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 1: I think you were enjoying yourself when you were, you know,

30
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 1: thinking about the title and the album cover and so on.

31
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 1: The title, of course, is taken from a Three Stooges

32
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 1: short film. The album color is a very one million

33
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 1: years b C. But tell me what is this I

34
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 1: hear about Green Acres influencing the album.

35
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:32,039
Speaker 3: Well, we we're very fans of like the sitcoms, especially

36
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 3: about Back Then. We're writing a lot of songs inspired

37
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 3: by that. And there's you know, the song inspired by

38
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 3: Get Smart, for example, in the Echo Chamber inspired by

39
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,399
Speaker 3: the Groovy Guru. Of course, you know we got the

40
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 3: guru part of that. Basically, we dedicate the album to

41
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 3: a bunch of different people and one of them was

42
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 3: Arnold Zipfel. That picked from Green Back Kids was.

43
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 4: The Place to Be with Greenacres.

44
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 3: I love Greenacres. The spin off for the Beverly Hill

45
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 3: was can Better.

46
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 1: I think yeah, I think I can still sing every.

47
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 2: Come on, I'm not a singer.

48
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 3: Goodbye My Wife's, Goodbye City Live.

49
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 2: You have.

50
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 4: I'm sure we've touched on this before, but that We

51
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 4: loved that album cover, but it wasn't used everywhere, right,

52
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 4: no America.

53
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 3: Could They changed it because I thought it was a

54
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 3: bit ugly and kind of a bit you know, garish.

55
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 2: They didn't get it.

56
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 3: They put this took this really nice kind of you know,

57
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 3: eighties style pastel thing with crayon dinosaurs on the front.

58
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 3: Was really loudy. But and at the end of the

59
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 3: tour is very funny, like we kept two of the

60
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 3: US and that year with that album, and all the

61
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 3: fans were buying the import copy from Australia because they

62
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 3: preferred the cover and also the song order. They changed

63
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 3: the order of the songs as well. They really by

64
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 3: the end of Yeah, so by the end of the

65
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 3: tool we mostly signed Australian import copies and the record

66
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 3: company said it was well, we don't think the cover

67
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,919
Speaker 3: changed the sales at all, And so the obvious retort

68
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 3: to that is, then why the hell did you do

69
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 3: it and take the sales?

70
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, don't confuse them with logic.

71
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,079
Speaker 2: Great, I mean so many great songs.

72
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,639
Speaker 1: We just played Tojo which is ripper Leilani my Girl,

73
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,679
Speaker 1: I was a Kamakazi Parla Zanbar I Want You Back

74
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: was huge, huge hit off the album, and one would

75
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 1: probably think it was about some kind of broken relationship.

76
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 2: But was it about a former band member leaving the group?

77
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 3: You Have was sort of a little bit of a

78
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 3: sneaky you diget our old founding member Rod. He formed

79
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 3: it with me and Kimball. Yeah, Kimball left. Kimball left

80
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:33,119
Speaker 3: to follow his film career, and he's done it ever since.

81
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 3: But Rod wanted to lead his own band. Hit done

82
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 3: it a few times in the past. By the way,

83
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 3: he left a sign us the same way as well,

84
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 3: so he had form in that regard. But but you know,

85
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 3: I just wrote the song as a bit of a

86
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 3: you might be sorry one day, you'll wish you were

87
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 3: back with us, you know, at the same time as

88
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 3: a love song. It's kind of funny because in a way,

89
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 3: the person sings a little bit sad that you think

90
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 3: because they're kind of wishing the person would change their

91
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 3: mind to come back to them.

92
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 4: Songwriter has a band. But as a songwriter, when you

93
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 4: hear like a band like you or my covering your

94
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 4: songs over the years and many many bright times, people

95
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 4: have played cover versions of your stuff, the songs of

96
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 4: such go quality must make you feel great about someone

97
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 4: also playing with those playing those live on stage.

98
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 3: Absolutely. I mean, you know, we like the feeling of

99
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 3: music being continuum, and you know, the music influence influenced us.

100
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 3: We're passing on to the next lot of people as

101
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 3: well and keeping that same spirit of live. So anyone

102
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 3: that plays our songs or the songs that influence us,

103
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 3: we're excited.

104
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: Is tojo the song that audiences lose their mind over

105
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 1: most when you're doing it live.

106
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 3: It is one that keeps being like yelled out at me. Yeah,

107
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 3: so yes, it's got a weird you know following. I

108
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 3: don't know why that song is clicked so much. I

109
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 3: mean the one song, the one song. My father liked

110
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 3: that every song. He hated rock and roller. He liked

111
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 3: the subject matter because he was a World war that's right.

112
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you know, I'll be in good company because yeah.

114
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 4: make it all the way, that's right.

115
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 3: But also the songs about cyclone Tracy In my brother

116
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 3: was living there at the time, so I kind of

117
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 3: remembered that very well.

118
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, Santa didn't make it to day. We said, I

119

00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 4: lot of recording to do over the next few years.

121
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 4: But in the future, I mean we're talking about the

122
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 4: past here, but in the future, is there any chance

123
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 4: of a who do Hologram? Could you be on stage

124
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,200

00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 3: some photoshop magic and you know, get rid of the

127
