1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:02,120
Speaker 1: So full disclosure.

2
00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:05,280
Speaker 2: Just by way of explanation here, Sometimes when we do

3
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:07,720
Speaker 2: an interview it's not always live because of the availability

4
00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:10,320
Speaker 2: of the guests we speak to. So last week Clazy

5
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:13,240
Speaker 2: and I chatted to Phil Jameson from Grinspoon because the

6
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:16,320
Speaker 2: band is announcing a national tour today and they're playing

7
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:18,959
Speaker 2: the Asta November twenty four, with tickets on sale this

8
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:22,479
Speaker 2: Friday through ticketech. So this is our chat with Phil, who,

9
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:24,439
Speaker 2: by the way you'll hear, was very good at pretending

10
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:25,079
Speaker 2: it was Monday.

11
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 1: He kept to his side. He's a professional.

12
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 2: Well he was chatting to me and Clazy even though

13
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 2: Claesy is off this week.

14
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:35,879
Speaker 1: Clear as mud. Yeah, here we go.

15
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 3: Okay, this is how it went.

16
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:42,479
Speaker 4: Good morning, Good morning, Happy Monday, Happy Monday Day. What

17
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 4: a beautiful day it is.

18
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 2: Absolutely the tour is named after the Easy and New

19
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 2: Detention albums. Does that mean that it's going to be

20
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 2: the show is going to be filled with songs off

21
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 2: those two albums only?

22
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 4: Well you'd think so, right, But I was like, Easy

23
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 4: was our second album and we're putting that out on

24
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:05,040
Speaker 4: vinyl for the first time, and then New Detention is

25
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,039
Speaker 4: that third album we're putting it out on Arnel for

26
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,040
Speaker 4: the first time, and I'm like, okay, so why don't

27
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,319
Speaker 4: we just play the records back to back, all of them?

28
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:13,479
Speaker 4: And then the band were like, no, we don't want

29
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 4: to do that, so I'm like, okay, we won't do

30
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 4: that then. So basically what's going to happen is we're

31
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 4: going to play a smattering of Easy, which has songs

32
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 4: at Ready One Secrets, rockshow et cetera, et cetera, and

33
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 4: then and there's some deep cuts off that record, and

34
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 4: then New Detention has songs like I Guess, Chemical, lost Control,

35
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 4: No Reason, et cetera, cetera. We're going to play songs

36
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 4: off that, and then some deep cuts off that, and

37
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 4: then we're going to play some songs off our other

38
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 4: seven albums or whatever they are, Yeah, and make a

39
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 4: big happy party atmosphere because we haven't toured since twenty nineteen.

40
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 4: It's going to be And obviously, remember twenty nineteen was

41
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 4: pre everything now, it was pre fire sluds, it was

42
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 4: pre pandemic for everything, so a lot has changed and

43
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 4: a lot has gone on since twenty nineteen. I'm a

44
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 4: little bit older, just annoying, but yeah, basically we're going

45
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 4: to be doing yeah songs on both of those records,

46
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 4: and some deep cuts and then obviously some of our

47
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 4: wider known songs at the end. But Yeah, more than anything,

48
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 4: because we don't tour often anymore, I'm really excited to

49
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 4: work on production, work on what costume. I'm going to have,

50
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 4: work on everything, the intro song, the Sparklers, the pyros,

51
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 4: all the stuff that goes with doing a rock and

52
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 4: roll show these days.

53
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 2: Basically a grid spooner pulleyser is what we can expect,

54
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 2: the best of the best.

55
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly. And we haven't played the Astro I think

56
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 4: in ten years, maybe twenty fourteen was the last time

57
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 4: we played there. So we can't wait to get back

58
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:41,119
Speaker 4: to the Astle Theater.

59
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 3: I love that venue.

60
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's going to sound loud, and it's a Friday.

61
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 3: Night and I love that it's a party film.

62
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 1: Because we got a bit older.

63
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's also the last show of the tour. So

64
00:02:55,720 --> 00:03:00,239
Speaker 4: I'm like, you put West Australia Friday nights per the

65
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 4: last show of the tour. What could possibly go wrong?

66
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 5: Well, hopefully, I hope a little bit of everything, but last.

67
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 3: Night positivity, It'll be wonderful.

68
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 5: Both going wrong doesn't mean that it's bad necessarily, it

69
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 5: just could absolutely. How about you talking about releasing these

70
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 5: classic albums on vinyl?

71
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 3: Are you big vinyl man? Yourself got a big collection?

72
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:23,399
Speaker 4: I do have a big collection. It's strangely expanded over

73
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 4: the last five years because so much vinyl has been reissued.

74
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 4: So I've got all these classic albums you couldn't really

75
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 4: get have now been reissued. I think record companies rub

76
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 4: their hands, They're like, all right, well you put this out,

77
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 4: but yet no I do. I love the tactile, you know,

78
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 4: it's so in your hands you can feel it. And

79
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 4: my kids are really into it as well. So it's

80
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 4: great to have that collection now, you know, and also

81
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 4: having all this new material. Well we'll not new material,

82
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 4: but also everything's now coming out in vinyl. It's now

83
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 4: it is where again. Yeah, it's lovely, isn't it.

84
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 2: It's that whole reading, you know, the album cover from

85
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 2: beginning to end. You know that I I just really

86
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:04,119
Speaker 2: missed when it dropped out of circulation for a while.

87
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: Now.

88
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 2: We can't believe it's been over twenty years since the

89
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 2: release of New Detention.

90
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 1: What was the controversy around the original album cover?

91
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 4: The only controversy was the fact that so I I

92
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 4: kind of was into this idea about the record cover

93
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 4: and it was empty classroom. And then the Universal Music Australia,

94
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 4: in their wisdom, only paid for that record cover or

95
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 4: that artwork to be used fifteen thousand times. So I

96
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 4: was like, well, good one, We're going to tell one

97
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 4: hundred and eighty thousand copies of this. So we had

98
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:38,919
Speaker 4: to change the artwork after fifteen thousand copies got printed. Now, okay,

99
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 4: there is other myths on the incident about the controversy,

100
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 4: but the myths the only reason that was changed was

101
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 4: because that our multinational record company didn't pay enough money

102
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 4: to the artist. But the vinyl release has the original art,

103
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 4: which I'm really happy about. Yes, So I'm really happy

104
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:04,039
Speaker 4: about that. Happy days work fixed, My life is.

105
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 5: Better, and a few collectors are going they always rub

106
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 5: their hands together with something different. They even if it's

107
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 5: a spelling yl. Absolutely of every album.

108
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 3: I met a few.

109
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 5: I sold a lot of my vinyl because I had

110
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 5: a house full and I went moving to a small house.

111
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 5: I feel it was the most amazing six months of

112
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 5: my life meeting all these music fans and those people

113
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 5: who sell on They're amazing. There's there's people who with

114
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 5: the vinyl it's quite freaky.

115
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 2: Well, your shows are always so high energy, how do

116
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 2: you prepare for and recover from them?

117
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 4: Yes, that's a good question. I'm drinking a green smoothie

118
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 4: as we speak. I try to look after myself as

119
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,479
Speaker 4: much as possible on tour these days. It wasn't so

120
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 4: much so in the nineties, but I guess these days

121
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 4: because I'm just so excited. We used to tour all the time.

122
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 4: Now we tour every four years. So I think I

123
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 4: just try to really make sure that everyone coming through

124
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 4: that door has the best time possible. So I tried

125
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 4: to kill myself as energized as possible. I think that

126
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 4: if you look at the greatest front man or anyone

127
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 4: that really holds the crowd, they've got to work it.

128
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 4: They've got to work the stage. And so I don't

129
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:16,840
Speaker 4: know what my tricks are trying it as much sleep

130
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 4: as possible. I don't really drink much on the on

131
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 4: the road except after the final show of the two hours.

132
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, but yeah, So basically, I guess I just tried

133
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 6: to I don't think back in the day, I wasn't

134
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 6: as conscious of the audience and now I'm much I

135
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 6: have a lot of respect for the people that have

136
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 6: parted with their money to come on, So I just

137
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 6: want to make.

138
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 4: Sure they have the best time there. They're in the

139
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,159
Speaker 4: forefront of my mind and that's why I try to

140
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,359
Speaker 4: be as energetic as possible. So, yeah, a lot of sleep,

141
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,479
Speaker 4: a lot of water, and yeah, lots of rest.

142
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:56,479
Speaker 3: Basically very good.

143
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 5: Well, if you're in a Gene Simmons frame of mind, mate,

144
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 5: you could market that green drink and color green spoon

145
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 5: I reckon that would go.

146
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 3: Off to the fans can't reach my friend Richard.

147
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 4: I love it. I love I love this money making schemes.

148
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 4: When concocting on.

149
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 3: My absolutely who would have thought?

150
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:14,559
Speaker 4: Who would have thought?

151
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 2: Well, Joe Hanson bass player night before your first show,

152
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 2: last time you were here in twenty nineteen the Chemical

153
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 2: Hearts Tours, something happened in Frio has come out on

154
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 2: crutches and had to play sitting down.

155
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 3: I love that you know this. I love that you

156
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 3: know this.

157
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: Basically, is there a story that we can share?

158
