I got a situation here. So then now I have to like move it to, you know. It's going to be tomorrow at Hermosillo and Hermosillo is located on 2775 York Boulevard on York Boulevard and 52th Street. Avenue? On Highland Park. Yeah. It's going to be cool. Avenue, right? We have an afterglow. Afterglow is going to be there. No control. It's going to be there. Nice. I haven't seen those guys in a while. Who else? You forgot. I forgot. You said something about, you said speaking of dicks, so that's going to be there. Yeah. Obviously. Going to be a lot of dicks out there. So now we got the VVS. We got Sim Jackson here with us. And I want to ask him, what's up? What's the way you're bound right now? Where you guys are standing? I really like your sound. I really like what you guys are doing. I've been like listening to your music for a while. Thank you. You know. What do you guys, what are all you guys influenced? I heard that people say that they think that you guys are from Jamaica. What's up with that? You guys, that was me who said that. Yeah, I was 100% true. No, we're, I'm influenced by like a lot of like post-punk stuff. Name me a few bands, like what? Pylon, Echo and the Bunnymen, and The Cure, and Sonic Youth. Yeah. I'm way influenced. Oh, that's why you didn't want to talk about Sonic Youth. No, Sonic Youth are like my Beatles. Oh, nice. That's a nice way to put it. They are. They're my Beatles, man. Shit. Man, I don't know. I'm into a lot of like dark wave and like kind of goth punk. Mildred and New Church is like one of my favorite punk bands. But you got this shoegaze kind of vibe. Yeah, definitely. There's definitely like the telescopes and and Swirly's are like, and of course, My Bloody Valentine. Like those are my favorite shoegaze. I want to like kind of combine punk and shoegaze a little bit. You got, yeah, you got all this influence, but yeah, you when you guys play, it's like a really nice. It's a synthesis. Yeah, it's a really nice way you guys put it out. You know, are they all influenced by the same? Well, I mean, most I write most of everything. So it's just mostly me. I don't know. I mean, I think they like the Lost team. Stuff I like. So they're down to play that kind of stuff. Like I usually. Yeah, right. So right here it says members. Yes, Tim Jackson is vocals, guitars. You sing also. Yeah. And the recordings I play bass. I usually write the bass and work with the drummer. All right. And Orion, Orion Webb play bass. Is still playing bass? Yeah. And Gustav Mentzer. Gustav Mentzer. Gustav. What is that? Is it like Greek or? He's like, I don't know. Spartan? Oh, he's calling him a Jew, but he gets really. He's not. I'm pretty sure. Yeah, I was going to say the last name is like very. Yeah. He just kind of has a long nose. So I just say, hey, man, you're a Jew. He's not even listening to this. So I can get away with all this matters. He is a Jew. He is a Jew. What's your name? Spielman? His name's Mentzer. Spielberg. Spielberg. That's cool. Waste men. Yeah. He has a manure on top of his like instead of symbols is a manure. I like Jews. Okay. Why would you feel the need to clarify that? I would hope so. I like Jews. If not, that makes you a Nazi. I think the Nazis, they have a different, different. Well, not the Nazis. I was just, I think that the philosophy behind that is just, you know. It's great or no? No, it's bad. It's awful. It's just killing people is wrong. But like their philosophy behind it is like. Oh, wait. Oh, no. Damn. So you guys are coming. Are you guys coming out of from Long Beach? Yeah. No, no. Most of you guys were like, where are all of you guys originally from? Like what city? I'm from everywhere. Like I know Orion's from like Orange County and Gustav is probably from like straight up Long Beach. Right. Yeah. And you're from LA. I'm from LA, dude. Like I spent. Born and raised? Yeah. Well, I'm from LA. I'm from LA. I'm from LA. I'm from LA. I'm from LA. I'm from LA. I'm from LA. I'm from LA. I'm from LA. I'm from LA. I'm from LA. I'm from LA. I'm from LA. Yeah. Well, no, I was actually, I'm a, well, I mean, might as well say born and raised. Like I'm from Greenville, Mississippi and my parents moved around all around America before they like came here when, like when I was like five and I came to Desert Hot Springs and it kind of moved all around, dude, I've seen so much of California, except in the Northern California, so much of Southern California that it's kind of like, I can't drive somewhere if I'm kind of like getting nostalgic sometimes because it's just the whole area is just like, oh, I've been here. Oh, I remember this place. It's weird. It's weird. I remember when I went to Anaheim the other day, like a couple of weeks ago and I was just like, oh dude, I remember when I was like a cloud nine hotel, like we stayed there for a little while. It's crazy dude. Cause then I just- Places raise your memories. Yeah. Cause it just comes back when you're right there, you know, normally I don't think about it until you go off into some weird area and you're like, oh shit, I've been here before. Like, I don't know. California is so, Southern California is so big. It's like so fucking big. Yeah. California is a big mother. Yeah. It's beautiful. So many different people here, man. It's crazy. It's a melting pot. It's a great melting pot. I don't think I could, honestly, like I have all these like delusions about living elsewhere, but I really could not live anywhere else at all. Like I don't think I could, I think I could visit a bunch of places, but I would never leave Southern California. What I know about LA is like there's, well, you know what we do here, we do a radio show. So like there's a lot of musicians and people we meet and most of them are like musicians, but they live in places where like they don't have the facility and venues and shows and people into it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. world yeah come to LA you know yeah I'm always running into like people from like France or like yeah Hollywood like Italy and not even Hollywood just even like no there's just a lot of aspiring actors LA you know musicians I think it's LA just the weather especially like if you go to like uh like a big uh conference like Austin Texas the side by Southwest like you mean like or here different like nationalities yeah dude I'm from Sweden or you know just everywhere you know nice yeah representing it's like when you go to Alvera street a lot of gringos I don't know I see a lot of Germans a lot of Germans no that's a lot of me it's a lot of my rasa yeah I remember I was thinking of Amtrak one time and I said I don't know what was going on and I got like I I'm waiting for the Amtrak and all these soldiers like came off of like it was like but they were all from they were probably part of the like a UN peacekeeping thing but it was like you could tell they're Israeli soldiers and American soldiers and it was like some Korean people and you're like oh shit dude that's you know it's kind of like right I don't know it's gnarly ass city dude every time I think about it I'm like there's a lot of people coming I remember I was on the like like subway there's a subway in LA and um yeah there's a lot of like like pretty trippy people on the subway yeah man you know what's trippy out you look at some like like a white version you'd be like oh it's just it's like you think you're expecting to speak English and I'll start speaking Russian I don't know where you'd be like oh dang like like my city got it like definitely you see like all these cultures Russians it's cool yeah it's a lot of all these like the Russians the rape mafia yeah it's a talking about your band the Vivitz who came up with that name must be you oh man I did but that was that was really an art Jewish process because before I had like a stupid name I wanted something like really stupid and like that you wouldn't expect and we were called that was just gonna be funny it was it was called neon black in the prisms I thought I thought it was like yeah that's a lot of letters that's a lot of letters for your sound that you guys doing that's a too much nobody's small and I wanted something that's special and weird and all these like MVP and that's no side bowling partner but then after after a while like I didn't mean that I don't know dude I'm not I'm not from there I don't understand what are you talking about yeah oh MVP like yeah the MVP sandwich place at Long Beach no no on the just initials to that what no black prisms or what is NB oh yeah yeah or it could have been the end you know you said MVP no I said MVP was valuable punk rocker there you go nice nice the R right right we don't

they're playing they're they're amazing right how's it how's the Long Beach you guys playing a lot in Long Beach I mean there's like cool few venues there like we used to play Long Beach like out we used to tear the out of Long Beach but now I don't know just it it's it has a decent scene but it's just um I don't know it's it's better to play play your hometown on special occasions as opposed to playing it every night I think that's that's kind of like my view of it um I'm down to play LA a little bit more but either way I like playing sparingly I got like school and stuff like I'm just kind of like let's just keep it to two because otherwise it's like right you're right you're so right about that like so we kind of keep it spread out a little bit as much as possible until we kind of just take off and go tour or something that's cool you guys are a little from Long Beach you can play like LA and yeah that's like that's probably one of the best spots like Long Beach you can just go you can shoot over to LA shoot over to Orange County yeah 7 10. is that how'd you get here no I got here on that train I don't know where the are you in a train yeah man everybody's on the train I'm the

This is one of the last tracks we're going to play here at Piñata Hour. And that will be... Here comes the chain Z. So. Chainsa. Chainsa. Chainsa. Chainsa. See how the sea gets the heat in our eyes With our promotion I think I wish I'd learned Turned out to be a person who goes and has fun Some things in this world have never gone on mine The city gets wet and it's fucking out of mind We are the creatures that strayed away for the night Us weeping in a cloud and woke up on the ground We were the birds in the truck that we saw the sound Our fear that drove me in and asked if you'd mind We let the wind and we died and we were wrong We were the measures in the storm that took my brain We put the bombs together and it took the minds that needed to die We took a hit upon that box and it only hurt me so long The top of broken shit I think I wish I'd learned Turned out to be a person who goes and has fun Some things in this world have never gone on mine With our promotion I think I wish I'd learned Turned out to be a person who goes and has fun We are the creatures that strayed away for the night Us weeping in a cloud and woke up on the ground Us weeping in a cloud and woke up on the ground Asleep in a cloud and woke up on the ground Across the coast in this drunken, deep-tired town All seem to know me and they're asking me my name Who wants to know? Who wants to know? Who wants to know? Who wants to know? Who wants to know? Who wants to know? Who wants to know? Who wants to know? He's listening. He's asking him. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Oh, yeah, I know that one. I mean, go on Craigslist. Forget about it. And even those new marks. Those new marks are kind of expensive. Yeah, they're kind of expensive. What's it called? New mark. New mark. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, those guys make good stuff. So I just got that eye on it. I was like, I just need a record player to go through my computer speakers. Yeah. Not that serious. Vinyl sounds good, though, man. It does. No, I'm not saying it's done. No, it sounds great. For me, I'm just like, damn. There's a lot of effort to just keep going. Especially if you record it one way, like you guys did it. I like the guys you guys record, and then you put it like. Yeah. Would you master that or not? You know what? That's an interesting question because. I think mastering is overrated sometimes. You think so? I think so. I was talking to. It depends how the recording will go. Yeah, it could either hurt or help. It goes either way. I was like. Asking my friend, and he was just like, dude, your shit's already mastered. You don't need to go get it mastered again. It depends on whose hands it in, though. The Downward 7-Inch, all these Hangman's remastered. It sounds fucking awesome, but it's a higher fidelity recording. So it's like. I mean, it's a lower fidelity recording, and so is like Mount Radiant, and it sounds fucking great. Some guy oversees it in the UK, and I'm just like, oh, man. Because I noticed. A lot of bands, they got famous. They were really notable, and that's because they like the sound and how they recorded it. And it wasn't mastered, or it wasn't like. Really? Yeah, it was just like. And then all of a sudden, later, they changed their recording, and it is sound different. Where it's like, eh, it's not a. That's my opinion, but I know the percentage out there will be. It's between the Smiths. Like in, uh, in Meat Is Murder. Like how. Oh, okay. How that's, how Meat Is Murder sounds is like, wow, that's really engineered. That's, I mean, it's an engineered Smiths record, but the original Smiths record is kind of like, whoa. Like handing, the hand and glove, like 7-Inch and shit. That's probably why they broke up, huh? You know what? No. No, no. That's not why. Morrissey wanted to sleep with everybody, probably. I know. Johnny Marr wasn't down with that. Yeah, he's like, hey, dude. He's a one guy guy. I don't want to cut my hair like this, but it doesn't mean. You know? Yeah. It's another Beatles band for me, Smiths. Smiths is like a huge influence, especially as far as the lyrical content. Like, you can't really hear the lyrics. I can't believe Paul McCartney got married again. I can't believe Paul McCartney is still parading around like he's Paul McCartney. What did he get married? Is that like something I don't know? He got married like a week ago. She's young, too. That's Brian Farley. Yeah. That's Brian Farley. That's Brian Farley. That's Brian Farley. That's Brian Farley. That's Brian Farley. That's Brian Farley. That's Brian Farley. I figure you learn by. I mean, this is his. I mean, he's having a good time. He's just like, you know. He's a Beatle. I wouldn't get married, man. I'm just like, you know. It's like a prophet. It's like the Vatican. Didn't he get married in the same spot as he married his own wife? What a dick. Did he? Did he? Oh, yeah, he did. I will not be surprised. In the same fucking church. He's got both legs, though. Maybe. Oh, it's different this time around. You do the same thing, not the same. This bitch got two legs. Yeah, she got two legs. She's going to wrap them around my neck. I need those legs. Yeah. Crazy. Fuck it, dude. He's got the money for the next divorce, you know. Shit. Maybe not. I hope this fool got a prenup this time, really. I doubt it. I doubt it. I doubt it. You think nobody would marry this fool without a prenup? That's crazy to me. No, people like that, they have a prenup. I don't think. He didn't do it with his last one. The Kardashians have it. Yeah. And she's got a mess. Bullshit. Shit. The Kardashians. That's just, boy, that's a punchline. Yeah. Man, you show a Kardashian. That's a punchline to no setup. Just Kardashians. Start laughing immediately. About that ass, man. About that ass. Shit, man. Don't even go there. Don't go anywhere now, dude. Both bounce to the ounce. Right. Damn. That ass is on hydraulics. A flop it. Just picture her when she's 60, though. That shit's going to be on the ground. Shit. No, it will be like a. Nah, you know what? You know when I see it. It's going to be on the ground. I'll be picking that shit up. I think she'll be okay. I think she'll be okay. If you got the money, she'll take care of it. Seriously. It's going to look like a six year old kid coming out of school with her backpack. You know how they like, it's just like. When they're running out of school, it's like, it's going to be funny. She's going to be like Joan Rivers. I mean, Joan Rivers is. Joan Rivers never had an ass at all. No. But I mean, she's, what is she, 70? She looks 40. Yeah. Louis C. Cason won. Remember that episode? Yeah. Like a stretched out Puma. Oh, shit. A shoe, though, not the ass. Oh, yeah. Yeah, a leather shoe that's stretched out, really. Yeah, stretched out. Stop it. Okay, we love you, Joan. If you're listening. Yeah. Talking about asses. Uh-oh. What kind of guitar you, you are being, like, comfortable with? Yeah, I mean, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm gonna use him. He's gonna use him. He's gonna use him. He's gonna use him. He's gonna use him. He's gonna use him. He's gonna use him. He's gonna use him. He's gonna use him. He's gonna use him. He's gonna use him. He's gonna use him. He's gonna use him. He's gonna use him. He's gonna use him. He's gonna use him. He's gonna use him. He's gonna use him. He's gonna use him. He's gonna use him. He's gonna use him. He's gonna use him. He's gonna use him. He's gonna use him. He's gonna use him. He's gonna use him. He's gonna use him. That old, that $150 Les Paul made. And then the head of it broke. And I had to take the neck off. And I put my new basses. I've known I do forever. I took his neck off of his guitar and put it on that one. So it's all fucked up. I think you're down there, right, Henry? It's a Frankenstein guitar. Yeah, it is. Frankenstein. The intonation is fucked up. Even the geometry of the guitar is just naturally fucked up. Oh, that was there? Yeah, that was in Sonya. Frankenstein series? Yeah, Frankenstein. Frankenstein series Epiphone, son. What's up? What do you want? What do you want? My freaking guitar. But you know what matters is how you play, right? Yeah, that's all that matters. I was going to say something nasty, but I'm not going to say it. Come on. It's okay. I'm not going to say it. Oh, wait, you're scared of the SEC? I'm not going to say it because this is a conservative show. It's a talk radio. It's a talk radio. A conservative show called... Say it, man. Don't be scared. I dig that freaking guitar. What'd you call it? It's conservative. No. Oh, man. We're going to have two mechs. You guys heard of them? Two mechs from The Visionaries? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Electric word, life, it means forever, and that's a mighty long time, but I'm here to tell you, there's something else, the afterworld. A world of never ending happiness, you can always see the sun, day or night. So when you call up that shrink in Beverly Hills, you know the one, doctor, everything will be alright. Instead of asking the moment real time, it's like, asking how much of your mind, baby. Cause in this life, things are much harder than in the afterworld. This life, you're on your own. And if the elevator chimes, the elevator chimes, breaks your down, you're crazy. Punch out that floor. Woo! It's a life, the world you're living in. Take a look around, at least you got friends. I call my own lady, for a friendly word. She's just picked up the phone, dropped it on the floor. Ah, ah, it's all I heard. I'm gonna let the elevator break, break my down. Oh no, let's go! Let's go crazy. Let's get nuts. Look for the purple banana, till you hit it, and I say to the truck, let's go! Let's go! Let's go! Let's go! Let's go! Let's go! Let's go! Let's go! Let's go!

Let it out Oh, give me the knocking on your door Tell me Break us down Let's go crazy Let's get nuts Look for a broke banana Till they put us in the truck Let's go Come on, baby Let's get nuts Yeah Let's go crazy Let's go crazy Don't worry about me Don't worry about me Don't worry about me Don't worry about me Don't worry about me Don't worry about me Don't worry about me Don't worry about me Don't worry about me Don't worry about me Don't worry about me Don't worry about me Don't worry about me Don't worry about me Don't worry about me Don't worry about me He's coming He's coming He's coming He's coming He's coming He's coming He's coming He's coming He's coming He's coming He's coming He's coming He's coming He's coming He's coming He's coming He's coming He's coming He's coming He's coming He's coming He's coming He's coming He's coming He's coming He's coming He's coming He's coming He's coming He's coming He's coming He's coming He's coming He's coming He's coming He's coming He's coming He's coming He's coming
