Speaker 1: us now.

6
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:12,080
Speaker 2: Good morning, Good morning.

7
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:16,440
Speaker 1: Studio, And first of all, we thank you for that

Speaker 1: because you're a rock star and coming in at this

9
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:21,160
Speaker 1: time of the morning is.

10
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:23,640
Speaker 3: It's good for me, and so thank you for getting

11
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:24,439
Speaker 3: me out of bed.

12
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 4: That's okay. Then you're going to have an afternoon sleep

13
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 4: before you Yeah.

14
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 3: Of course.

15
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 1: Twenty seven Club is one of those things in life

16
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 1: that is just it's nothing short of spooky, the number

17
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 1: of people that are in, at the caliber of people

18
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 1: that are in it. When you start with Jimmy Jannison,

19
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 1: Jim you know they all died at twenty seven, and

20
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 1: then you had Kurt Cobain joining in and Amy Winehouse

21
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 1: joining You've got people like Jean ms McKee, what's his name,

22
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 1: John Basquiat. Yes, so it's not right Jones Jones. It's

23
00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 1: an incredible club that you don't want to be in,

24
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: but it makes sense, I guess, to put a lot

25
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 1: of this music together as a show.

26
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, which is what you've done.

27
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, because it's like we get all of the you

28
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 5: wouldn't you wouldn't normally hear those songs in the same

29
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 5: repertoire together because apart from being that tragic coincidence or

30
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 5: urban myth, that's the only thing that's that's keeping these

31
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 5: tracks together. And it's such a great songbook to be

32
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 5: able to pull from.

33
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:25,479
Speaker 3: Yeah.

34
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 5: So, and it really does cross a big demographic. We

35
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,399
Speaker 5: notice it with the people in the audience will have

36
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 5: you know, sort of the baby boomers all there for

37
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 5: the Jimmy and Janice and Hendrix, and and then you've

38
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 5: got all these kids in Nirvana t shirts coming sick

39
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:42,679
Speaker 5: down the front.

40
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 3: So you've got to site a really wide demographic.

41
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 4: And then they hear that stuff from those from that

42
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 4: earlier generation which was.

43
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 3: Edgy for its time so still still is.

44
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 4: So it transcends the generations so they can get into

45
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 4: it as well.

46
00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, like you put up like some of those Hendrix records,

47
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 5: like to like Rage against the Machine or something.

48
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, it's it's it's.

49
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 5: Very similar, like it still holds its weight today and

50
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 5: it's such a good like sort of history lesson for

51
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 5: kids too, right, you know, put exactly if you if

52
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 5: you're putting the varna in with it, it puts it

53
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 5: in context for them.

54
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, it makes it more.

55
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 1: Listened to Janice Joplin all the time, and but I

56
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 1: am I'm sure she was just a little bit before

57
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 1: my time, but I still you know, yeah, I revisited

58
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: I Love Jannel.

59
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 4: The music was still around as we were going off,

60
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 4: for sure, And so obviously the stories are told of

61
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 4: these of these people.

62
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what makes it work.

63
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: Well.

64
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, so it's not a it to the kids. Yeah,

65
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 3: we're not just standing going song after song. It's like

66
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 3: it's all very very well curated.

67
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:47,919
Speaker 5: The way they've put the show together. So we tell

68
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 5: all the stories and we sing the songs. And Dusty

69
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 5: Lee Stevenson, our musical director, is a genius and the

70
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 5: flow of how he's put the music together and the

71
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 5: medleys and it's just it's so good. And with av

72
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 5: in the Great Light Show every night I sit there going,

73
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 5: this is so sleek.

74
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 3: I see what this works. Yeah, it's a joy to

75
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 3: be in that.

76
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 2: The reviews have been amazing.

77
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: Do you have a favorite number that you like to

78
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,639
Speaker 1: do during the show or can it vary from night tonight.

79
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 5: Well, it's normally Peace of My Heart because that's sort

80
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 5: of like the big finale, and I love singing it

81
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 5: because it's a big sing and it's at the end,

82
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 5: so I feel like I can just leave blood on

83
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 5: the stage. However, since Kevin Mitchell was supposed to be

84
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 5: in the season with us and he couldn't make it

85
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 5: this season because he had some family drama, so we

86
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 5: here to pick up all his songs. So I got

87
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 5: thrown some of the Nirvana songs and I was like,

88
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 5: oh no, it's gonna be the worst, but now I

89
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 5: love it. And so I get to do Breed, which

90
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 5: I used to watch Kevin do it in the show

91
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 5: and think, oh, you know, I reckon I could do that.

92
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 5: It's like really punk and he cuts so sick during it,

93
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 5: and I always sit there going, yeah, yeah, yeah, you know,

94
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 5: one day, if he's not here, I reckon I could

95
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 5: do this.

96
00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 3: And then they said can you do Breed?

97
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 5: And I was like, I've been waiting for this yet,

98
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 5: so at the moment, that's my favorite time to do.

99
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 4: So you're doing you know, you're covering all these artists who,

100
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 4: unfortunately in the twenty seven Club and they all have

101
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 4: their stories, But which one to you is the most

102
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:17,919
Speaker 4: tragic of them all? Because they're all tragic, they're all

103
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 4: cut short at the peak of their career. Which one

104
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 4: which is the greatest tragedy in your eyes?

105
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,599
Speaker 5: I think the one that resonates with me the most

106
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:30,280
Speaker 5: is the fact that Janie she was like a rock

107
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 5: star early, but she was not that comfortable with it,

108
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 5: even though she had this persona that she was and

109
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 5: she sort of wanted to be like all the other

110
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 5: girls and popular girl. She Yeah, she just wanted to

111
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 5: blend in and be like the others. But you know,

112
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 5: at one point she just gave up music entirely and

113
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 5: went back to Texas and tried to like get sober

114
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 5: and be like the other kids and was sewing quilts,

115
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 5: you know. And then she was like, actually, this is

116
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 5: not for me either, and then she chucked it all

117
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 5: in and she went back to rock and roll and

118
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 5: got more famous, and then that's when the excess.

119
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 3: Kicked it all. Yeah, But because she was just always

120
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 3: a little displaced.

121
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 1: Just wanted to be loved, Janice, she just wanted to

122
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 1: be loved. Now, you've just released a new song yesterday.

123
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 3: Yesterday actually yesterday.

124
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 2: It's called Till It's Gone.

125
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 4: But it's not just you.

126
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 3: No, no, it's definitely not just me.

127
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,919
Speaker 5: No, that's my mate Dallas Fresca, who is an absolute weapon.

128
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 5: And yeah, her and I are doing a tour together

129
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,919
Speaker 5: that starts two days after the twenty seven Club finishes.

130
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 3: Actually no, yeah, so that's going to be.

131
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 5: Really fall on And yes, she is as such a powerhouse.

132
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 5: She said to me, do you want to go on

133
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 5: tour with me? A nice like yeah.

134
00:05:58,839 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 3: I thought it was just going to be a cup

135
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 3: of shows.

136
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 4: Ye.

137
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,280

138
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,159
Speaker 5: single and who knows where this will go, but it's

139
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 5: become bigger than Ben Hurt.

140
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 3: But she's she's.

141
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 5: Such a good driver of it. It's really inspiring. She

142
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:13,599
Speaker 5: was like, you know, we're going to do it for

143
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 5: climate change. I'm like, okay, all right, but I'm learning,

144
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 5: you know, because she's a big advocate for it, and

145
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 5: so I'm learning through her.

146
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 3: I'm like, so, dal tell me what the problem is again.

147
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:27,880
