0:21And Nick it's Matt with MSN. How are you? I'm good man. Do you have time to do it now? I know I'm a little early, but you have time to do this phone. Yeah, that's fine. You guys are on the epic drive Where are you guys up to? Yeah, where are you up to? Yes, you do but it's gonna be fun to be awesome So let's just start with South by how was South by what do you guys do? What'd you get up to how big is the biggest when I say you guys in Edmonton a couple years ago was like two drummers like

1:32From what I remember a bunch of synths and a bunch of bass players. How big is the band? Why so why why why why repeat instruments on stage? Why not just have one guy playing each? Do is it was it necessary for the parts? Well, you say when no one cared with this band

3:01I thought maybe I'll go back to South by then and like what are you guys looking for you guys? I know you kind of self-manage you you kind of do everything yourself So are you looking for for deals down there or you just go on a play shows and get the music heard? Of course take your for the world very important. That's awesome

4:14Yes, you mentioned the record. Let's talk about the new record So where do where do songs typically start for you? Like it says it says in the bio and I think you mentioned this earlier too that you produce the records like you make the record It just you or do you have the guys with you when you're making the record? And why not everybody why not why not make sure that everyone's there? Why why do it that way? That's interesting That's it that's really interesting the drummer thing too because like most

6:57Rock bands will start with the drums when they go in the studio and then build everything afterwards Yeah, you know, yeah, but if it works it works So then how do you know when a song is finished if you if you're taking stuff and editing like when are you comfortable? It's saying it's done now, you know

8:09John Lennon famously would always double his vocal because he wasn't happy with the way his voice sounded on record You use the vocoder So I wonder if it's is it because it and it fits the music is it because it fits the music or is it because You're a little self-conscious singing Sure, that's cool. I like that. This is a stupid question

9:11But I got asked to ask you this the other day. So I was like I'm gonna do it Why is it four outs and not three and not five? Why shout out out out? Oh, no, it's wicked. It's awesome Before that you go we do something called five questions five quick questions one word answers
