Okay guys, in the new episode of Denim
0:06
Leather podcast, this is the 50th
0:08
episode of Denim Leather podcast. So
0:10
it's anniversary jubilee. Uh we have a
0:12
special guest Danny from Teero and from
0:16
X Wasted from back in the day. Uh thank
0:19
you Denny for joining us.
0:20
>> No, my pleasure. What are we going to
0:22
talk about today?
0:23
>> Oh, I got to ask you about your new
0:25
record. It's coming up uh real soon,
0:28
right?
0:29
>> Yeah. March 20th.
0:30
>> Yeah. Teero uh Closer to the Sun uh new
0:34
record is coming up March 20th. And u uh
0:38
wanted to ask you about is the whole
0:40
record going to be high energy rock like
0:43
uh the the the two singles that you
0:45
released we rise and higher than high.
0:48
>> Yeah, absolutely. Um, when we when we
0:51
started to decide what kind of record we
0:53
wanted to make,
0:55
we wanted to make something that was
0:58
positive and and uplifting. Um,
1:02
even before today, you know, we felt
1:05
that things in the world are really
1:07
bearing down on us and and making our
1:10
lives horrible and difficult. And so, we
1:13
didn't want to address that. We wanted
1:15
to give some music that people could put
1:17
on in the car and drive and just let
1:20
things go for a while.
1:23
>> Yeah. Because the for the last five six
1:26
years it was a mess in the world. I mean
1:28
uh you probably sensed that and and that
1:31
pressure and and you completed in a
1:34
positive record.
1:35
>> Yeah. And and the other thing too was
1:37
that while we didn't want to remake
1:41
Don't Come Easy, the first album, you
1:44
know, this year that album is 35 years
1:46
old and people are still playing it.
1:49
It's still played in clubs, you know,
1:51
you see it even it gets bigger and
1:53
bigger online and guitar players are
1:55
doing the solo, all that. So we wanted
1:57
to figure out what is it about that
1:59
album that has stayed with people. Um,
2:03
so not try to recreate it, but maybe
2:07
distill some of that energy, some
2:09
whatever that was, and bring it forward.
2:12
And I think we have
2:14
>> Yeah, it's um probably probably the
2:18
energy from from uh your uh biggest
2:21
single, Forever Young, in in the first
2:23
album, uh was uh was that uh you know,
2:27
as you as you said, drive away and
2:30
listen to the music. It was it was also
2:32
a biker guy you in the in the in the
2:35
video. So it feels like that like
2:38
freedom, right?
2:40
>> Yeah. Well, you know, for instance, the
2:42
um on the album, it's nine songs before
2:46
you even get to a ballot, you know, so
2:50
it's it's just like I said, we just had
2:52
a lot of energy. I've got some new band
2:54
members that that really are excited to
2:58
be part of it and we're part of the
2:59
writing process. So, it's it's all like
3:02
I said, it's all got a lot of very nice
3:04
energy around it. We're I haven't been
3:06
this excited about a new record since
3:08
Don't Come Easy came out.
3:10
>> You know, when we when we go into the
3:13
into the m musically, it it has also
3:16
some bluesy rifts and also some hard
3:19
rock, glam rock rifts, also some heavy
3:22
metal stuff, but but but uh I sense also
3:26
maybe even higher on a spiritual level,
3:30
right? Maybe
3:31
>> maybe so that would be nice. I'll take
3:34
I'll take that.
3:35
>> Yeah, because it's it seems to me even
3:38
even the even closer to the sun or we
3:40
rise or higher than high it it seems a
3:43
little bit spiritually to me. Not that
3:46
in sense of some religious stuff but you
3:49
know it's like a uplifting thing you
3:51
know
3:51
>> I think you Yeah. Now that now that you
3:53
say it, I think you're right because for
3:56
instance, Higher Theran High is just
3:58
about nothing lifts me more than music,
4:01
you know? And when I was younger, I
4:04
tried all those good drugs, you know?
4:05
It's like, and yeah, there some of it
4:07
was fun, but music is the thing I keep
4:10
coming back to that that presents a
4:12
feeling to me like nothing else, you
4:15
know. So, yeah, I think there is a bit
4:17
of spirit in there.
4:18
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
4:20
high on life or high on uh music, right?
4:23
>> Yeah, for sure.
4:24
>> How did how did you write uh your new
4:28
record? I mean, you were not by yourself
4:30
writing, right?
4:31
>> No. Um there's there's quite a few
4:33
co-writers. I think three or four songs
4:37
on the record I wrote myself, but mostly
4:40
um you know, uh my bass player Chris and
4:43
my guitar player Harry, they contributed
4:46
ideas. The second song on the album was
4:49
co-written with Jim Peter from Survivor.
4:52
Um,
4:53
let's see. And I have also there are two
4:56
songs on the album that were co-written
4:57
with someone I've worked with before in
4:59
Boston. His name is Ruben Dlo. And we
5:03
did a couple of songs. We had a song
5:06
together that was on the Digin Deep
5:08
Taiketto album. And we wrote a song
5:10
together that is on my solo album, Myth,
5:12
Legends, and Lies. So, we've worked
5:14
together for for many many years. And,
5:17
you know, there were just all this this
5:19
good music floating around and and I I
5:21
like that. I I don't want I very rarely
5:25
do I want to write the whole thing, you
5:28
know. That's that's for a solo record in
5:30
my opinion, you know, but um it's more
5:32
fun to collaborate and everyone comes at
5:36
music from a different angle, you know,
5:38
they have different different people
5:40
that they follow or they admire and they
5:42
bring all that to the table and it makes
5:44
it more exciting.
5:45
>> Yeah. I had your friend here uh Johnny
5:49
D, your drummer now in Tero uh like half
5:53
a year ago on the show. Uh, and uh, did
5:56
he also contribute to the writing or
5:58
recording or he came after
6:00
>> recording? Yeah. No, Johnny didn't
6:02
write, but I mean uh, he was just so
6:06
excited because I think it's really the
6:07
first full album he's gotten to record
6:10
in a long time. I know with with Doro,
6:12
they use different players for different
6:14
songs and things like that. So, he was
6:16
part of the process, you know, all the
6:18
way from beginning to end. And, you
6:21
know, I couldn't be happier about that.
6:22
I've known Johnny for 40 years now. And
6:26
um he is such a great presence in a
6:30
room. You know, I find being around him
6:32
keeps me relaxed.
6:35
Um you know, we're of the same age, so
6:37
we talk about a lot of the same music
6:39
and and all of that sort of thing. But,
6:42
you know, he's um he's one of these
6:44
people. He he never stops working. You
6:46
know, he's a very hard worker and he's
6:49
very very focused. And in the studio,
6:51
that's something you really need.
6:53
>> Yeah. I I I met I met Johnny last year
6:56
on a festival in Bulgaria. Uh he played
6:59
with Doro. I met him backstage. So we
7:02
talked a lot about drums because I'm a
7:03
drummer also. Uh and uh that's how
7:07
that's how we got to know each other and
7:09
we made uh the interview with him. Uh
7:11
amazing amazing man. Uh and um I wanted
7:14
to ask you about the records when you
7:16
release uh either it's solo stuff or
7:19
with bands. Uh uh how do you how do you
7:23
uh feel when you release it? Is it is it
7:27
uh like like something you achieved or
7:30
maybe like uh you see it like your own
7:33
artistic creative piece like an artist
7:35
when he sees his painting? How do how do
7:37
you perceive the releasing of an album?
7:40
Does it uh relaxes you or it gives you
7:42
more stress?
7:43
>> Uh
7:45
probably more stress. Um because I don't
7:49
think I, you know, with a musician
7:51
anyway, I don't know how it is for a a
7:53
painter, uh but for a musician, you want
7:57
people to like what you're doing, you
7:59
know. Um and if they don't, you know,
8:02
you have to have a very thick skin if
8:04
people come back to you and go, "Oh,
8:05
well, this is crap." You know, it's
8:07
really hard to to deal with that. Even
8:09
though it's going to happen, you know, I
8:12
mean, there's no way around it. So, you
8:13
just hope that more people like it than
8:16
don't.
8:17
So there is some of that. I have learned
8:19
that one of the secrets of of a happy
8:22
life is never read the comments.
8:26
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Or or never return to
8:29
the comments, right?
8:30
>> Oh, definitely don't return them.
8:35
>> Okay. Uh but uh but I I I was thinking
8:39
about after you release it, right?
8:40
That's your stress. After you release
8:42
it, how it will be perceived because how
8:44
it will be sold, right? Maybe. No.
8:48
>> Yeah. Well, I mean, yeah, it's you you
8:52
never have much control over that. You
8:54
have to have confidence in the people
8:56
you're working with and you know, we're
8:59
with a brand new record company for us,
9:00
Silver Lining, and they so far have done
9:04
everything the way they should do it. I,
9:06
you know, I couldn't be happier. And so,
9:08
in that sense, I feel more relaxed
9:10
because I kind of know that somewhere
9:12
out there there's someone working very
9:14
hard for me.
9:15
Yeah. Yeah.
9:16
>> That helps a lot.
9:18
>> Uh what are you releasing? Uh all all
9:21
kind of bundles, vinyl, uh CDs,
9:24
everything, right?
9:26
>> Yeah. Yeah. There's three different
9:28
vinyls. There's the regular black,
9:30
there's a red, there's a sunburst one.
9:33
Um those are a lot of them is limited
9:35
editions, you know. It's for the
9:37
pre-orders, but yeah, CDs, downloads,
9:41
all of it.
9:42
Uh Denny, I got to ask you, what's your
9:45
uh what's your position on uh on digital
9:48
downloading Spotify versus uh hard copy
9:52
uh place and sales? Uh how's your
9:56
where's your stance on that?
9:58
>> Well, I'm not a fan of Spotify, that's
10:00
for sure. Uh I don't have a Spotify
10:02
account and I don't use it um for a
10:04
number of reasons. Um, the good side of
10:08
course is that people can discover music
10:12
they've never heard of. They can just
10:13
kind of travel around and find stuff.
10:15
And I appreciate that. I do. But, you
10:18
know, everybody knows that they pay [ __ ]
10:20
to musicians.
10:22
And unfortunately, the person who runs
10:25
Spotify is turning out to be a very,
10:28
very bad person who is investing a lot
10:31
of money in Trump's war and all of that.
10:34
And I just I want no part of that, you
10:37
know? It's that's messing up messing up
10:40
music a lot. So, but you can't escape
10:42
digital downloads. It's it's the hard
10:46
part is that we have, you know, a
10:49
generation of music listeners that don't
10:51
appreciate
10:53
the fact that they can get music for
10:55
free. You know, it it shouldn't be for
10:57
free. people work very hard to make that
10:59
and spend a lot of money to make it
11:01
sound good, you know, or you try to. Um,
11:06
somebody pointed out that in 1955
11:09
if you went out to buy the new Elvis
11:12
single, one song, right, with a flip
11:14
side, it was 99 cents, and that's what
11:17
you pay for one song on iTunes now. 99.
11:22
>> Wow. Yeah. Yeah.
11:23
>> It's never changed, you know. So music
11:26
is one of those things that everybody
11:28
thinks should be free, which would be
11:30
nice, but you know, how do we, you know,
11:33
how do we feed our families? How do we
11:34
keep the electricity on?
11:36
>> Yeah. But I think about 63 64% of of
11:40
that 99 cents went to the artist to
11:43
Elvis, you know. Now it's not like
11:46
>> Yeah.
11:46
>> Yeah. Now it's not like that. Now it's
11:48
like a small small amount of of
11:50
percentage, right?
11:51
>> Depending on who you're Yeah. who you're
11:53
associated with. Like I said, Spotify is
11:55
the worst. Um, Amazon Music is better,
11:59
iTunes is better. You know, they're not
12:01
great, but, you know, we're working on
12:03
it.
12:04
>> Yeah. But your your music must be
12:05
present everywhere. That's the that's,
12:07
you know, uh, between choosing the the
12:10
both evils.
12:11
>> Yeah, for sure. And like I said, you
12:14
know, it it enables
12:16
people who might never have heard of
12:18
you, you know, to find you. But you know
12:22
back when none of this before the
12:24
internet I can remember when don't come
12:26
easy came out and we would get letters
12:28
fan mail would come in and and I was
12:31
getting fan mail from from India and and
12:34
Nepal and I don't know how it got all
12:36
the way over there but it it does
12:38
travel.
12:40
>> Uh how did how did that uh that record
12:44
that both records probably the first one
12:46
was was bigger hit it went platinum
12:49
right? No, no,
12:51
>> no.
12:52
>> Or or or because it was it was the end
12:54
of the hard rock glam rock era.
12:57
>> That's a funny thing with Taiketto.
12:59
We're a very very small band and
13:03
but for some reason people remember us
13:05
and think of us as much bigger. So when
13:07
they talk about us, they talk about in
13:10
the same sentence as as Winger and Mr.
13:13
Big and you know, but those guys, you
13:16
know, White Lion, those guys were
13:17
platinum sellers. We never came anywhere
13:19
near that, but we were always a really
13:23
good live band and we kind of made this
13:26
impression that people never forgot. So,
13:29
we were able to keep playing and keep
13:31
playing live and people keep coming to
13:33
see us. Thank goodness.
13:34
>> Yeah. Do you did you survive the 90s
13:36
like that or
13:39
>> I Well, I quit um at the end of 1995. I
13:43
I quit music altogether because it was
13:45
just it was too it was too sad you know
13:49
and it's an unfortunate thing because
13:52
music is eternal but the music business
13:55
is very fashionoriented
13:58
so I understood what happened people say
14:01
you know don't you hate Nirvana it's
14:03
like no you know Nirvana didn't make
14:05
that happen the audience made that
14:07
happen and they got tired of record
14:11
companies taking every band with
14:14
good-looking guys and long hair and
14:16
matching leather outfits, throwing their
14:17
guitars around and putting them on MTV
14:20
every five [ __ ] seconds over and over
14:22
and over again. People got tired of it
14:24
because they got too much. And the same
14:27
thing happened to to grunge after a
14:29
while. People got tired of that because
14:30
they record companies don't know how to
14:34
work a good thing so that it lasts. they
14:37
used to. You know, if you look back in
14:40
the 70s and 80s, Judas Priest put out
14:43
four albums before anybody really
14:46
started to get into Judas Priest.
14:48
Certainly in America anyway.
14:49
>> Yeah.
14:49
>> And then they became huge. You don't get
14:51
those kind of chances anymore.
14:53
>> They don't exist.
14:54
>> Yeah. Like after the fourth album, Yeah.
14:56
you're you're nowhere.
14:58
>> Yeah. Record companies want you to come
15:00
to them with your audience already in
15:02
place so they don't have to do any
15:04
[ __ ] work.
15:05
>> Yeah. That's that's how I read some guy
15:08
uh signed them signed a record deal
15:11
because he has a lot of followers on
15:13
Instagram, you know, or on Tik Tok.
15:14
Yeah.
15:15
>> If you got the audience, the record
15:17
companies want you. Not all of them, but
15:20
certainly all the big ones, that's how
15:21
they operate.
15:22
>> Yeah. But because you mentioned grunch,
15:24
you know what what I what I uh see for
15:27
the last 10 years. I I saw a revival of
15:30
the glam rock of the 80s hard rock a a
15:33
big revival for the last decade or so.
15:36
But grunch is nowhere near that, you
15:38
know. It doesn't exist anymore like like
15:40
a style. But the hard rock, glam rock,
15:43
heavy metal, it still exists, you know.
15:45
>> Yeah. Yeah. Well, but things move things
15:47
move in circles. It may, you know, in
15:49
enough time we may see because, you
15:51
know, those people who grew up in high
15:54
school listening to Nevermind and
15:57
listening to Sound Garden and all that,
15:58
that may come back around when they hit
16:00
50 or 60 years old, you know? You just
16:03
don't know.
16:03
>> Yeah, maybe. Maybe, maybe. But you are,
16:06
are you do you think that you're now
16:08
more wanted band for for festivals and
16:10
stuff than in the early 90s?
16:12
>> Yeah, absolutely. Um, I don't know what
16:15
happened. I mean, because obviously
16:17
everything stopped with COVID.
16:20
>> Yeah.
16:20
>> And when we came back out, we we didn't
16:22
know what was going to happen. Would
16:25
people still come? I had I had to
16:27
replace band members. Would they they be
16:30
accepted? And for some reason, I think
16:32
Taiketto now, you know, we're headlining
16:34
mid-level festivals. We're being asked
16:37
to play in countries that we've never
16:39
been into before. There's there's a tour
16:42
announcement coming in the next couple
16:43
of weeks that will cover a lot of
16:45
Europe, hopefully Eastern Europe and
16:47
stuff that, you know, I'm really excited
16:49
about because there's so many places
16:51
that we haven't been before.
16:53
>> Yeah. You you changed your your your
16:57
living from America to Europe. You're
16:59
Europe now, right?
17:00
>> I've been living in Europe for 20 years.
17:02
>> Yeah. Where do you live? Which
17:04
>> now? I'm in the south of Spain.
17:06
>> In Spain. South of Spain. Okay. Okay.
17:08
Okay. Okay. That's great because you you
17:10
you can tour Europe now more freely, you
17:12
know.
17:13
>> Yeah, that was that was part of it when
17:15
I came over here and um I just what's
17:18
happening in America now. I started
17:21
feeling that 20 years ago, this this
17:24
anger, this
17:26
>> this uh nationalism that was so
17:28
dangerous. And I was like, you know, I I
17:32
I love being I really I love being in
17:34
Europe. I love the fact that I can get
17:35
on a plane in two hours. I'm in a
17:38
different culture, a different language,
17:40
you know, different architecture,
17:42
everything, you know. So, yeah, I love
17:44
it here.
17:44
>> You you learned Spanish?
17:46
>> I'm trying. I'm not very good.
17:49
>> I was in I was in Barcelona like three
17:52
years ago. It was amazing there. You're
17:54
you're probably probably close to there.
17:56
>> No, I'm I'm all the way down south.
17:59
>> Uh-huh. Ah, okay. Okay.
18:00
>> Not far from Gibralar.
18:02
>> Uh-huh. Ah, okay. Okay. Okay. Uh, so
18:06
when you go to Eastern uh Europe, I
18:09
don't know how how much Eastern can you
18:11
go, but uh but I'll I'll be I'll be sure
18:13
to come by because I'm in Macedonia, you
18:16
know, very close to
18:18
>> I know I know they're talking about
18:19
Austria, then Poland
18:22
>> and I hope Croatia. That's that's what
18:25
I'm waiting to find out.
18:26
>> Croatia is the closest to me.
18:29
>> Great. Uh wanted to ask you about you
18:32
mentioned that you quit music in 95.
18:34
What did you do in those 10 years?
18:36
Maybe.
18:37
>> Uh, mostly I worked at warehouse jobs.
18:40
Um, you know, I was driving forklifts
18:43
and running shipping departments. Um,
18:46
but I was also always writing music. And
18:50
I had no plans. I wasn't going to do
18:53
anything with it. I just that's what I
18:55
do. I write songs. And eventually that
18:59
led to my first solo album which is
19:01
called Soldiers and Sailors on
19:02
Riverside. And that was released in
19:05
2000. So that's I I took a little more
19:08
than four years just away from from the
19:10
business completely.
19:11
>> Yeah. But the next Tetto record was 2004
19:14
or five something like that.
19:16
>> Uh what was the next Taiketto record
19:18
that we did uh together? Um that was
19:21
Digging Deep I think after that. Yeah.
19:26
Um
19:27
2012 I think was the record.
19:30
>> We did we did a reunion in 2004. We we
19:33
did a little bit live, but yeah, we
19:35
didn't release any music until 2012.
19:38
>> Did Did you guys release any live album?
19:42
>> Um, not back then. We have recently.
19:45
>> Yeah.
19:46
>> Was the live in Milan. We did that and
19:48
we also released the the live of the um
19:51
25th anniversary of the strength and
19:53
numbers tour.
19:54
>> Oh, was it live in Milan on that
19:56
frontiers uh festival?
19:58
>> Yeah, that was 2017.
20:00
>> Oh, I remember that. Yeah, I remember
20:02
that. life. Uh it was a good great
20:05
sound.
20:05
>> It's a really good recording. They did a
20:07
great job with that.
20:08
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Uh well, when we
20:11
were we were talking about uh Johnny
20:13
Johnny D, your friend drummer uh from
20:16
Teo, you guys know each other from back
20:19
in the day from Wasted. That's uh 84 85
20:24
86 87.
20:26
>> Yeah. I would have met him in I would
20:27
have met him in in 1985.
20:30
>> 85, right? Uh, so was that parallel to
20:33
when he was in Britney Fox or or he was
20:37
>> Oh, before that. Yeah.
20:38
>> Yeah. He was in a band called World War
20:40
II. Um, and we met at Rockfield Studios
20:46
in Wales, which is where Wasted was
20:49
rehearsing and doing the demos for the
20:52
album. And so when we recorded Closer to
20:56
the Sun, we were in Rockfield Studios
20:59
40 years later in the same room
21:01
together.
21:02
>> Really? After 40 years in the same room
21:04
recording? Yeah.
21:07
>> Almost almost the almost to the day cuz
21:09
it was it was the same month. It was
21:11
April and we were there.
21:13
>> Uh how is how is this about
21:15
synchronicity? When I when I did the
21:17
interview with him, I wanted to ask you
21:19
about about this also wasted. Uh so on
21:23
the same day uh when we did the
21:25
interview uh coincidentally I I I saw
21:27
afterwards that it was the day when when
21:30
uh when wasted played uh support for
21:33
Iron Maiden in Belgrade in Yugoslav in
21:36
Yugoslavia. Yeah.
21:37
>> Yeah. So do do you remember something
21:40
from from that tour or from that day?
21:42
>> Oh yeah. I I was almost I almost was
21:44
arrested in Belgrade. I remember
21:46
>> what why
21:48
>> uh I was so excited and we were walking
21:50
around the city and there was a huge
21:53
banner of the concert over like the this
21:56
intersection with all these cars going.
21:58
So, I just took my camera and took a
22:00
picture, but there was a policeman
22:02
standing there. And apparently back then
22:04
it was illegal to take pictures of
22:05
police officers. And he comes walking
22:07
over like, of course, I don't know what
22:09
he's saying. And know there's people
22:12
coming around like, "What the [ __ ]
22:14
going on?" And I kept pointing. I go,
22:16
"Look, see that? That's me. You know,
22:18
just wasted." So eventually he was okay
22:22
with it.
22:23
>> Oh man, great great story. I I I
22:26
mean, how did how did the show went? It
22:29
was all great.
22:30
>> Those were any shows that you get to
22:33
work with Iron Maiden, they're going to
22:35
be great shows. They just are. You know,
22:37
the Iron Maiden is the coolest band in
22:40
the world. And they
22:43
their policy is we want the opening act
22:47
to go down really well because that will
22:49
excite people and then they'll be even
22:51
more ready for us. And it's hard to do
22:54
because they don't really want to see
22:57
you, you know, they're here to see our
22:59
the biggest one we did um was in
23:02
Budapest
23:03
>> and I think it was about 40,000 people.
23:06
>> Whoa.
23:07
>> And you know, all through our set there
23:09
were just people going on.
23:13
Oh,
23:15
>> but they're they were still listening,
23:17
you know, and um it's Yeah. all those
23:20
shows. We did Belgrade. We also did
23:22
Zagreb, I think.
23:24
>> Yeah, probably. Yeah. I I I asked you
23:26
that because I'm from uh Macedonia was
23:28
ex Yugoslavia back then and I heard
23:31
stories from because my father is a hard
23:33
rocker and uh I'm 81, but I know some
23:36
some guys older than me that were at the
23:38
show, you know, and I have some
23:40
pictures. I will I will send I will send
23:43
your manager, Serena, a picture or some
23:45
some pictures from from that show to
23:47
send it to you.
23:48
>> Oh, please.
23:49
>> Yeah.
23:50
You know what I remember is um you may
23:52
not still of course this was back when
23:54
it was Yugoslavia um to get to the shows
23:59
you you know you're driving down this
24:01
this highway but it's only one lane in
24:05
both directions and the trucks are just
24:07
kind of dodging back and forth. We
24:10
thought we were going to die like a
24:11
hundred times cuz they just trucks just
24:14
don't care. They're like they want to
24:15
get around and like
24:18
>> was it I I think it was the the main
24:21
fair because I saw uh it was the the the
24:24
fair place uh where the show was. I saw
24:27
Iron Maiden uh in the in the same place
24:30
but in the 2000s.
24:33
>> Yeah. There. Uh okay. Okay. Returning of
24:37
the of the new of the new record. What
24:39
are your uh now um uh you know long-term
24:43
and short-term plans about the about the
24:46
record?
24:48
>> Uh well, the most important thing now is
24:50
is for the you know, for the audience to
24:52
hear it, you know, that's for the fans
24:54
to hear it and that's the that's the
24:56
final say on everything. So that's
24:59
really what I'm I'm holding my breath
25:00
for. Um but we will start our our UK
25:03
tour in April. Uh we're touring with
25:06
Warrior Soul and Collateral. So it's a
25:08
nice nice cool package of bands. Um
25:12
there are some festivals in the summer
25:14
like Barcelona Rockfest and Melmo
25:16
melodic. Uh Time to Rock in Sweden,
25:20
Steel House. You know, we're on some
25:22
really good festivals. And then I'm
25:24
hoping uh you know, like I say, I'm
25:26
hoping in a couple of weeks we'll be
25:27
able to announce that we'll do um you
25:30
know, a bunch of shows in in Europe and
25:33
Eastern Europe. September, October.
25:35
That's that's the goal.

25:41
