That's it's the pipe Man here on the Adventures pipe Man W four C Y Radio. And I'm here with calvaris nice here at Welcome to Rockville. How's it feel amazing? That's our first time in Florida, really really exciting. It's beautiful. It's very hot, but very nice. And this this location is insane, like this speedway it was driving here had we got to drive on the tracks to get to the stage. I know, right, it's amazing because it feels all right, that's how it feels like to be on the tracks? Is that wild

1:38 to me? That's more iconic than being here is like, hey, I get to drive on the track to get to the press area. Yeah, definitely, we felt we felt there totally. And yeah, it's hot in Florida, ain't it. It is tough to play music in Florida, especially if you're all in all black. Yeah, So have you felt the pain of the Florida heat yet a little bit a little bit yeah, yeah, and then there's the storms, like there was like wicked storms that happened last night while we were sleeping. That's how Florida is. Like we could have a storm like in five minutes from now with it like this, you would never know, and then it's gone like ten minutes later. Quite similar to the UK. In the end, you'll have beautiful weather and then boom like massive storm. Well yeah, UK is definitely bipolar. Like every time I do download, I'm like, fuck me, Yeah, I'll bring a hoodie.

2:39 One interview, I'm wearing a hoodie, the next interview, I'm taking it off. The next one, I'm putting it on. Like with every five minutes your weather changes. Sounds about right. Yeah, So what do you got going on now that we need the listeners to know about anything new or coming up after Rockville here? Yeah? Cool. So, like we're currently on tour across the US. We're doing a co headline tour with Vukov, who are from Glasgow, Scotland. Yeah, and yeah we've before before this festival, We've we've done two dates with them, so it's kind of just the start of the run and they played this festival as well. Actually, so we're kind of touring around together. We've got the same van and stuff, so we're kind of moving as a unit. Nice and yeah, they're like super cool guys and that's important right there, Like right, you know, you go out on tour with somebody, they can either be assholes or they could be real cool blokes and uh and well yeah exactly, I mean, yeah, we don't have that problem because they're all so lovely, right exactly. Yeah, it makes all the difference, doesn't it. Yeah, Like touring conditions need to be right for everyone to be happy, and it's it's I feel like it can be a difficult mechanics sometimes because there's so many people. There's so many like needs for everyone, you know, and keeping everyone happy is can be a difficult challenge. Oh but different you know, mental ways of thinking, different egos all just like yeah, it's but

4:12 yeah, we're we're in good hands with these guys and we love them. And they're an awesome band as all, you know, like it's super cool. Yeah they are, and they were I interviewed them before. They were like super nice. Yeah, So like that makes all the difference in the world, because that could make the difference of whether your tour is fun or sucks for you. I don't mean the actual music, but just like a drag but that portrays into the music too. So if you're with cool people on tour, I think your shows are going to be way better because you're like all chill and having fun and just you know, yeah, having a good time. Well, luckily for us, we're surrounded by Scottish charm. So there you go. Love it. So what's it what's it feel like playing here at Welcome to Rockville compare to playing something in the UK or in Europe in your opinion, Well, the setting mainly, it's like curious, like being in a movie. To us is like you know, insaying, seeing how big this place is, and you know, it's just seeing the seats, like how how high they are, and you don't really get settings like that in your in the UK at least, right. I mean, we've you know, we've not done any like all the festivals around in Europe or UK. But yeah, it's just like it feels special because everything is so impressive and the crowd like people are like so nice, and you know, I would say that like happy, just you know, to be there

5:45 and listen. And I feel like we've had a much better connection with the crowds in the US overall. Wow, And it's always been you know, really easy to like connect and yeah, just introduce ourselves because they don't know who we are. Yeah. There, I love it. And you know what my biggest shock was the first time I did a UK festival was the fact that people like they wouldn't even forget going to a bathroom or whatever. They would just sit there in the middle of the crowd and go to the bathroom when they had to go to bathroom or go cup up up against the wall, you know, like that whole wall, like right by the stage.

6:25 Like I saw people lined up there at Download like just peeing. Well. Or the trough, the trough, you know, you know what I'm talking about where they have like the long trough where everybody has to go to the bathroom. We don't have that here. Yeah, you see, I know how to shock people right there. So here I got trivia question for you see all the colored seats. We were literally talking about it in the vent. We were like, Okay, there must be a reason for this.

7:10 I was like, is it people like from Afar. You know, it looks like that's it. It makes it look like it's full, like on TV when you think it's full, you might be looking at that ye everybody with a different shirt color. Yeah, exactly. That's from the Fountain Menace with the race, like the oldest crowd. There was just a little like you know thingy, how do you say, cotton buds that were just painted, painted and then just with a fan on it, and it makes it look like a massive crowd. So same effect. That's so funny, right. The tricks that you can do, how do people connect to you guys on socials on the web, Get your music, buy your merch because that's the most important. You guys can and even make it the next gig without merch, and people have to buy merch. Support your artist. It's a massive help. So you can find everything about us on Calvaries dot com, c A L V A, L O U I S E dot com and we're on every social every streaming platform. And we've also got a US store for our American friends. Much so it's also on cavaloys dot com.

8:24 You can find everything there. So yeah, beautiful, anything else you guys want to share with the listeners before we go that they need to know about your music or anything you got upcoming. Yeah, we will be releasing new music very very soon. So yeah, we just released also three weeks ago released on a new song with our music video that is completely self made DIY and it's a badass video too, Thank you. I think those are the best anyway. The di Y videos are always the best because it puts your creative videos you yours. I'm a big believer that the people in the business should be doing the business part and the people who are the artists should be in charge of all the creativity because that's what you're doing. You're the creatives.

9:15 So I love that. Any final words you want to leave our listeners with, thanks for listening. Yeah, we had a blast, and welcome to Rouville. Well I had a blast too.
