would you fellas like some tea?
why, I would love some!
yeah, put your pinky up
It just started the three of us - you Know started off making the music
in bedrooms and we took that mentality and now we are in a big fancy studio and still feels like that time
Often times we'll make up a musical choice in the studio and it's like a double-edged sword because how we're gonna pull it off live?
All of a sudden it's an iphone memo that will get It started sometimes it's a complete song you know that he [Robby] has written lyrics,
vocal, melody, chord progression and everything. Other times it's more of just like
rhythmic melodic idea
I can't really imagine a lot of my friends really good at their instruments be willing to just like try something that kind of sounds bad on another instrument you know?
I've walked in and Pat's holding a trumpet - that didn't work out but he's like maybe.
Nothing worse than not being able to play the trumpet - the worst
I mean, you know there is definitely like a tinge of latin spice to some of our songs
Miami's just got a
snappy energy about a lot of music
Salsa, Bachata
pretty much every latin genre is represented down here and appreciated in a big way a lot of our friends
are like direct Cuban, Venezuelan, Columbian descent
and so it's not even a matter of us coming to this City and
encountering the music like from the outside but we have friends grew up with it
that have shown us like the serious jams
I love just wake up everyday you're preparing the studio - drink some tea
speak for yourself John
and you know just to be able to commute you know we don't need to be like rich and famous it's just like
if we could just do this all the time - and people liked it you know
and we like what we're making and it's the only thing I have to do every day - that seems pretty good
I really like the
recording side of things It's like my nest and I don't know - just constant effort to try to make stuff that
we'll see like if some of it stands the test of time
pride and what we're doing and hopefully I'd like for for the records we make to last
Yeah at Bonnaroo you know we yeah not the best slot It was 1:00 p.m.
Yeah and the sun was beating down
It was so crazy packed and people were on each other's shoulders singing the songs
I get goosebumps just thinking about it right now there's nothing like playing music on stage you know and
having the crowd vibe with you - there's nothing like that
and to be able to do that for the rest of my life - I think would be..
That's it, that's it, that's what I want to do.
