PipemanRadio Interviews Senses Fail at Aftershock 2023

0:04 Hey, you have done to censure for se Wow crazy you why become of America. It's time for the Adventures of Pipe Man on W four c Y dot com. Wis pom Beats is number one internet radio station. Here's your host, The White Man's fun. It's going right down the train. It's sold since the Pipe Man here on the Adventures pipe Man W four c Y Radio. And I'm here with Buddy from Census Fail Nice here at Aftershock.

0:56 Oh my god, do you love this festival or what? Yeah? This was my first time, so I really really really like this setup here. It's great. The cool vibe right like I do all the Danny Wimmer festivals, but by far this is the coolest. Like media artist area. Oh yeah yeah yeah. The Daytona one's sick too, but yes, that's a different vibe. This is cool. You know what's sick about Daytona is driving on that speed wid r. Yeah, like you'd never imagine that on TV. Never, And then you're gonna laugh. Okay, so you know how it goes straight up on up and down on the embankment. I was talking to Christine while we're there. I'm like, uh, I have my skateboard and my cheek. Well, I get in trouble if I go skateboard on that. No, she was like, yeah, I don't know if that'd be a good idea. You'll probably wipe out. I'm counting on it.

1:49 I'll wait till my last interview. Yeah that's good. Oh man. So, uh, tell our listeners who haven't heard you guys before, how you describe yourself as an artist? Not genre? But yeah, we we have a lot of melody, a lot of angst lyrical, We're a lyrical band. We're very interested in talking about how we can live life in a more tolerable fashion, tolerable meeting that life is fucking hard. So what else is a good way of playing it? By the way, because I don't think you could have put any Yeah yeah, yeah, But musically we're we have a mix of heaviness and poppiness where we've been around for twenty two years, so it's also ebbed and flowed. We have some really heavy stuff that's heavier than anything here, all the way down to stuff that's you know, kind of pop punk, so in that realm. Okay, So there's a lot of bands like you that you know over the years, you evolve and nobody wants you to evolve. Oh no, yeah, And I think we made it to a point where the people are okay with any version that we have of our band. It is twenty years yeah right. And that's cool though, because you as an artist, you don't want to do the same thing over and over again. You can't do the same thing, it's not possible.

3:09 No, So and you change as a person and you get more experience better at the crad. Yeah. You know how many bands on their first album they don't even really know what they're doing. And so you look back on that and some of your hardcore fans are like, DU's their best music, and us and yours are like, that's my worst music. Yeah yeah, yeah, And I just at that point like I'm whatever anybody wants to hear. I'm down. So see, that's the way it should be, because you know, back in the day, it's like you could only listen to this Like I came from the time where oh, you can't listen to this band. If you listen to this band, it was bullshit, Like why not listen to whatever you feel like? Listen, you know, and play. That's why I say no genre, because you're the artist. Yeah you should. Just to me, creating music is just that creating and expressing and experimenting. Yeah, pretty much, you know. So that's cool.

4:05 Now, I saw Jersey on your tattoo. What exit? Oh well, I mean it depends because I've lived various different places, need to Most recently, I was in Jersey City, So that's technically a turnpike exit for the Lincoln Tunnel. So that's what I would go with secaucas Road off of the nine. But you got to get off the turnpike at so if you want to get real specific, you take the eighty exit, which I forget what number is. You get on eighty, then you take that to the turnpike and then you get off the Lincoln Tunnel. So there you go. Yeah.

4:48 Yes, I've lived all over Jersey. Yeah, I grew up in Montclair, Low Falls, roseland I've lived up in Jefferson Township in a pack on South playing Field, Oh wow, West Orange, West Parison, Old Bridge, Yeah, Sayerville technically ninety eight now too because my sister my parents lived down in like the Belmar area. Yeah. So I coached ice hockey at wallar Ree Wow. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, my cousins live in Wall, my sister lives in Brick and yeah, I lived in Ocean Township and last place I lived in Jersey. Yeah. Yeah, so I got a lot of exits. Exactly me too, I can there. But what I can say is I remember the good old days driving down the ac and losing all my money and driving home in the morning and throwing pennies in the toll booth to try to trick it. Yep, yeah, I just take the ticket. So what's gonna be happening after After Shock?

5:46 We have a big show to Mars, sold out House of Blues, Anaheim. Nice. It's the fifteenth anniversary of the record that we're touring on, so it's its actual birthday. We're live streaming it with veeps, and then we're gonna do a ton of stuff. Next year. We're doing a cruise Email's not dead cruise. We're going to be traveling internationally, writing recording, and then I have a whole bunch of other touring plans. So very cool. Yeah, does it like trip you out to have a fifteenth time versary of an album? Like I just like a blink of liking it, people actually showing up and being interested in it trips me out more than because you could have an unsuccessful fifteen year anniversary a lot of things. Right, you're divorced, you know you could have a so fifty you can make anything an anniversary. That doesn't mean it's warranted, you know what I mean.

6:36 I love the fact that people are here and we're headlining our stage tonight. It's cool, right, you're going to kill it here at after Shock. So craziest story in your whole musical journey way you think it would be. Probably when I forgot the lyrics on Conan Oh for the first verse of Rummas not for drinking, Rumm's for burning out for drinking. That was pretty devastating. That crazy because it was like an awful experience. Yeah, but crazy because also once that happened, I never had to worry about anything. Because if you fail on a large level, more larger than anyone, most people won't get an opportunity to have like something like that happened. I'm kind of impervious to the idea of failure. Yeah, I don't worry about it ever, And I think a lot of people get stuck worrying if they fail.

7:30 I would be terrible as an oars because you're your worst critic, right well yeah, but also if you do have documented like hey, I did blow it here, it's kind of like somebody who does it was an athlete, Like you have to get over it. Yeah, you blow it and you got to figure it out, no doubt, because things happen. Oh yeah, shit happens. You know. Funny, my funny story from what you just said nineteen eighty three to US festival. Oh wow, yeah. Van Helen's headlining Sick. They're playing at talking about love Eddie and the rest of them keep looking at Dave because he's not singing, and in Dave fashion, he yells to three hundred thousand people, I fucking forgot the words and the whole place. Did it happen? Sometimes you're just up there on stage and you're thinking, You're like, man, I wonder what we're gonna have for lunch tomorrow, and you're just like blackout. You know, when you do it so often you end up on stage, it's not this you're in the zone. It's not this big deal thing. You know, It's part of what you do every day. So you can end up thinking about things you shouldn't be thinking about or like you see someone in the crowd get punched, that'll happen to me where I'm like, holy shit, and then I'm like, oh fuck, I'm not singing. I'm watching people what they're doing.

8:46 That happens to me a lot a lot of times at festivals too, because people get wild and there's like so much watching all these people and I'm forgetting what I'm supposed to be doing because they're watching me. Well yeah, so how does everybody connect to you guys? On socials on the web? Check out all you got. If you want unhinged, you go to Twitter. If you want skits and more unhinged, you go to TikTok. If you want raccoon memes and carefully selected memes for your pleasure, you come to My personal one but the shud. And if you want to know what the band is doing minus that just good quality band content, you go to census fail at Instagram. Oh it's got it. Yeah, we got all different aspects for different people's tastes. And it should be like that with socials, right, Like, if you post the same shit on all your socials, why do they have to follow all your social I aways been posting pictures on my feet for free. Apparently girls like feet too well, especially when they're pretty.

9:50 You need to start an only fans. Well, we've talked about that, but I don't think that's gonna work for me. I think I'm more like Robin Hood. I will steal from the rich and I will give to the poor. People who's loved ones don't get pedicures. There you go. I love it. So that's the new thing is pedicures. Well, you know you got to if you get older, you got to take care of yourself. You should do a thing for like sentence failing do like they could buy merch like a group on. Oh no, We'll just do a many petty vip. All of our VIPs meet and greets are themed. There you go, I love it. Do a manny petty TikTok. Yeah, funniest one or craziest one or whatever that you've done. Well, I'm just about to drop our Margarita remix. Have you heard the Margarita sung? Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm about to do my my went to Applebee's last night and shot our five Margarita. I also have another one where I enter a casting call for Emo boys. So got a lot of good stuff dropping in the next couple of days, so so make sure everybody follow the TikTok h ya.
