This Friday, we're doing something with Lollipop Records. Oh, nice. Lollipop Records? Where do they have? Well, it's weird because, like, I think I consider them Los Angeles, like Echo Park. The main guy, his name's Wyatt Blair. And he comes from Orange County. But he just settled in Echo Park. Basically, he's in Mr. Elevator in the Brain Hotel. So I'm going to have some of those tunes later on. But, yeah, it's a good lineup. The band that I manage, Nature's Sons, headlining, Deathlands, they're from, like, San Gabriel Valley. And brand new bands coming into the scene. So that's totally exciting. I totally support that. So after party at my house, if you guys want to come down and have a little shot, calla with me. All right. That'd be cool. Hey, Eri, you were telling me that you were going to bring Estela. Where's Estela at? She's hiding right here. Right here.

Thank you for coming down to the Piña Tower. Our musical guest today is Damedas. Yo. How are you, my friend? I'm doing very good, very good. I just want to say, I just want to say, like, your music's really, really nice. I've been listening to your music for a while. Cool. And I really like your approach to it. Before you pick up your instruments and start recording, what do you think of it? What's your influences on it? You know, I sometimes, I kind of just hit record sometimes and I just kind of see what comes out. And I think it's a lot of playbacks. Right. So I just kind of improvise and I'll play it back. And if it's something that kind of hits me, like, all right, it's good, then I kind of, you know what I'm saying, I just kind of, it's all kind of not too premeditated, but it's kind of just, it just comes out, I guess. Right. I don't really plan it out. I just kind of do each instrument piece by piece when it comes to recording. What is the first instrument you... It depends. Sometimes I might, like, make some electronic, you know, music, stuff, do some programming, or sometimes I might pick up a guitar, or sometimes I might have, like, a really strange vocal melody I like or something. And it just, it all depends. It just depends. You've been playing music since what age? I've been playing for, like, I feel like, well, really, like, since I was 12 years old. It's been on and off. What was your first, you picked up the guitars? Yeah, I picked up guitar. Yeah, I picked up guitar. And... I've always wanted to be a drummer, but my dad never wanted to buy me drums. He was like, no drums in the house, you know? So I was like, all right, cool. Can I play guitar? Yeah, I think being a drummer's a little bit intimidating for your parents. Because I'm a drummer, too. Oh, yeah? Yeah, I play drums. I've been playing drums since I was little. Nice. But when I, you know, I told my parents the same thing. It's like, a drum? Can you just pick up a violin or guitar? Harmonica. They were cool with it, though, right? Because they know where you're going to go. Where you're heading when you pick up a drum set. It's like, it's going to be in a rock band, some loud shit, some punk. Going to turn into the animal all of a sudden. It's loud. Did your parents ever take your drum set away as punishment? No, no. I would never play at home, dude, believe it or not. I would just bring him there. Right. You know, I would just bring him to the station. Clean the room or I'll take the drum kit away. That's cool. Your parents are awesome. Yeah, they were, they're all right. I love my parents. No, my parents are awesome, too. They're just... We already live, like, I live like, really close to my parents. We live really close to the airport, so we already get, like, all the airplane noise and shit. All the feedback noise. We're pretty used to it. It's, like, not even a big deal, probably. Drums would have been, like, the cherry on top, so they were like, fuck that, no drums. Get a guitar or something. So you, did you go to, did you went through your band faces? Yeah, I mean, I played, I like playing with different people. I think it kind of helped me grow. I mean, not even as a musician, but just more as a person. Just jamming out with... It's funny, playing with different people, you just kind of like, you take and you learn different things from different people when you jam with them, and it's kind of cool. So I played in lots of many different people, like metal bands and jazz bands, and just for fun, not even to be in bands with them, just to jam, you know, just to see. And this music you're making right now with Damidas, is that, is it just you or do you have other people that you bring along to perform live? Or... Yeah, well, my newer stuff, my newest record that I'm going to be putting out this summer, I'm actually bringing in some additional members to help me, because I'm doing my first tour, so I'm excited for that. Oh yeah, when are you going on tour? I'm going to be going June, early June. We're going to do like a West Coast tour up to Seattle, Washington, just all the way from here to there. So that, it's my first tour time touring. I have a lot of friends that have toured. So... Do you have somebody helping you setting up the tour or...? No, it's all going to be all self, self-dependent. DIY. Yeah, really DIY. But yeah, before that, I mean, all my other stuff, I've just kind of hermited myself and just kind of messed around. What is the meaning behind the name of your Damidas? It's really no meaning. I was actually driving and I just thought it sounded like... Like Damida? Damida? Yeah. Like calling someone calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling calling!! Anyways, so when I hear your music, I feel good about it. Thank you. Something about your music. I mean, I hear a lot of music. Some music makes me like, oh, I got to go crazy on this. But when I hear your music, it's pretty, I can listen to it. Suiting. Yeah, very suiting. Thank you. Very sexy, too. I appreciate that. Yeah, it's a very sexy music, yeah. Right? What do you think about it, Natalie? It's definitely something to, you know, set the mood, get it on, you know? Yeah. Cool. Hey. That's cool, I mean. You attach it to a light switch with your dimmer. Oh, yeah. Neon lights. For those who are listening to the podcast right now live, we got in the table, we have, I forgot your name, little boy. Little boy. Damn. Drinking to cash. Daddy. Yeah, yeah. We also have Turtle here. We have Frank and Natalie Bonilla, a.k.a. Chalk Ivana. Hello. And Felipe from Domino's. So listen, why don't we play some of your music? If we have that ready. You know what? Talking about sexy, we had our CEO here at Skira Studios had a sexy time. I saw some photos. What's going on, man? Some ass slapping. You know what it's up? You know what it's up? That part about it is like he never called me for those things. Damn. He should call me. Yo, Lee. Yeah. 7 p.m. here. Damn. It went down. I don't know if you got, I don't know if you, I don't know if you got, Big Chen got my, I posted on his Facebook a Paul Streeper for $79. Woo. We should have a. We should install one. Might as well. We should have a Kickstarter for that. Right up in here in the middle. Yeah. Maybe, yeah, great work, huh? Right here under the disco ball. We bring Cholo Carwash. See if we can do something about it. Right? Right on the table. Sonya's shaking her head like, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Go ride. Yeah. Diggity dig. Diggity dig. I listen to the podcast later on, you know. I don't usually listen to this, like later, but when I listen to it, it's funny because I hear Frank go, diggity dig. Diggity dig. Shit, it's funny. Fucking family guy for you. Yeah. Nah, dude, we're going to get sued. Anyway. All right. So we're going to go ahead and play some Domidas and the name of the first track will be I Am Broke. Yeah. That's off of a winner, kind of a free EP I put up for free download. Nice. We're going to come back and talk about it. Yeah, sure. Let's hear some. And this is Domidas here at Piña Tower. All right.

Great. Great. Great. Great. Great. Great. Great. Great. Great. Great. Great. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. my current record that I'm still working on. I actually went up to the woods for two weeks to go record that back in September. And when I got back, I actually felt like I wanted to take a break from that just because I thought I'd kind of embellished myself too much in it. So I just wanted to take a break. And I just felt an urge to just make like a winter kind of feeling kind of record or EP, free EP as like a gift for everyone to download for free. And yeah, that's what I did. And I put it out for a free download and I kind of coined it as it being like me feeling wintery. Like that was like my winter vibe that I was feeling around me. So it's more electronic. Like I use a lot of synthesizers and like drum machines and stuff and just kind of messed around. You also have some music that you sing in Spanish. That's awesome too. That's really nice. Yeah. Sometimes I like to think, I like to think in Spanish because I think it's like, it comes out a certain way in Spanish. It's just like, I feel like it's, it's a lot more obscure in Spanish. It can mean like a lot of more different things. And I feel like English is my native language, but Spanish really isn't my native language. English is the money language. Yeah, right. But yeah, Spanish is just not romantic. It's kind of hard for me to think of, so like when I speak Spanish. I love you. Te quiero. Te amo. You're right. You're right. But I don't know. Like, I mean, that record, or not even a record, it was just an EP. It was just kind of, it was really just out of the blue. It was kind of accidental the way I made it. It was just pure accident. My wife was like, why don't you just make it a free download and put it out? And I was like, all right. I will. Fine. How long have you been married? I've been married now for almost two years. Two years. Two years. Yeah. That's nice. That's cool, man. Congratulations. El Charro. Thank you. He's also wearing this pretty cool Charro jacket. Thank you. Where'd you get it? It's pretty cold out. That's why. Yes. It's getting chilly out. I got this in, damn, where did I get this? I don't remember. He doesn't want to tell us. It's pretty thick. I don't know if I'm fitting it, though. You know? I look like a stuffed sausage. I tried on. I let you try it on. I don't want to get it on. I don't want to rip it. Like the Hulk. We should try it off air, probably. Yeah. We'll go for it. That's pretty cool. That's cool. Tengo unos saludos, Lee. Oh, you do? Yeah, I got some saludos. All right, look. Before you do your saludos, we're going to play more of Damlas. Yes. We're going to play Fortaleza. Is that a made-up name? Fortaleza? No, Fortaleza means strength. I didn't know that. It's a beautiful word. Not that I said it that way. I don't know. And we're going to play Fortaleza, and then right after that, we're going to play Fari... Fari Nosu? Fari Nosu, yeah. Fari Nosu.

Start Snappin' Um Um Um! Let's try this Let's see Let's see how that goes Let's try the top hit Alright And I saw them actually I think this is What I saw them on was This is on YouTube right now It was on a channel called What was it? This is pretty nice Right? You talk about Letting your Letting the light out Letting your Letting your muscles just relax Just fill in like Dr�� calling Dr�� calling Dr�� calling Dr�� calling Dr�� calling Dr�� calling Dr�� calling I see some guys dressing as... The video is intense. This is them playing live, dude. This is sleep party people. This is nice. So dope. They got toys. They're really professional with their equipment. I mean, look at that. What is this here? Is it some kind of toy? They have it covered up on the video there, but it's like three keyboards. But the drummer, he's actually kicking a kick bass. I can't remember where they're from, but they're from... They're like Norwegian. Yeah, it looks like they're from... Not Norway, but I can't remember. Pretty close. I'm gonna write this down. Yeah, sleep party. Yeah, sleep party. Yeah, sleep party. So what's your guys' kind of favorite right now? You got any, Lee? I got my top four. What's your top four? Hey, listen, I think we got a call in there. We have a call. Is there a caller on the air? Yeah. I want to talk to Natalie. Yo. Hey, what's up? What's up? Marissa. Marissa, you working right now? I am working right now. Can you turn down your radio in the background? This is my best friend. Oh, I am listening to you guys. I don't know how to turn it down. Oh. I can hear myself. Oh, that's so weird. I can hear the feed. Anyways, I have a question. Yes. All right. If you could book anywhere in LA, like your most primo, best spot ever, where would you book? Ooh, the best venue idea. Oh, the best venue. Is this like a... Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Great. Great. Great. Great. Great. Great. Great. Great. Great. Great. Great. Great. Great. Great. Great. Great. Great. Great. Great. Great. Great. Great. Great. Great. Great. Great. Great. Great. Great. Great. You'd also make money. Personally, it would be Los Globos right now. Yeah. Yeah. They're really open-minded right now. They're kind of killing it for other venues. I don't know if you know, but... A lot. I've been hearing a lot. Everybody is doing something. I've been hearing a lot that everybody's kind of like, hey. Two nights in a row, Los Globos. I mean, it has all kinds of... It has from both worlds. From like Hispanic shows. I danced cumbias in the second story on Saturday night. So that's my opinion. What about you, Chocobana? I say Los Globos. Okay, you agree with that. I agree. That's nice. Marissa, have you been to? Not yet. I think I have. But like, you've already played there. Like, what's somewhere that you haven't ever been to, but you hope someday? Like an awesome place. I see. Is Los Globos the best place you can get? Well, you know what? Well, so far for the bands, they have a great sound. Great lighting. The sound guy is not a dick. They have their own sound guy that is always there. And it looks like they're pretty happy with the one they have right now. Because before that, they had a few other guys, but they went through like really quick. And it looks like this sound guy is working with them. The dudes at the door, they're not like a bunch of assholes security guards. You know what I mean? And also, the promoters that they put in shows there, they're like different vibes. Different sounds and genres, you know? Totally. I think the Echo would be probably like the next spot. They got a lot of great shows. Yeah, I've heard a lot about that place. But yeah, I think those are the only two venues. Yeah. The bouncer actually at Los Globos told me how to make a killer steak on Monday night. Oh. See? Here you go. Swag points for that. Really? One more question, Ali. Do you have any horror stories? I'm sorry, what? Do you have any? Any like horror stories? Things that went wrong when you were trying to book? Like weird people that you had to deal with? Oh, that's a hard question. Yeah. Bands? Like either a band that was being like weird or like you tried to book with somebody. Yeah, we have. We actually have. We actually had one band and I'm not going to say their name, you know, because it's paid true respect to them. But we had one band cancel on probably like... I think it was like one of the like most important nights for like a Chalky Vana event, which is when we booked the O season. My homie came up to me and he was like, hey, you know, I need a band because so-and-so dropped out. So like I was like totally hitting like, you know, the artists that I thought would fit on the bill and that would be like determined to do it. And which were I felt deathlands. And it so happened to pull and he's where they're chilling with them. And then they... What was the name of the band again? Deathlands. Deathlands. Deathlands. Deathlands. Deathlands. Deathlands. Deathlands. Deathlands. Deathlands. And then, yeah, I mean, it was cool because they collaborated on the set. They split it and they created Death Honey. So I think that's super cool. But I don't know. That's probably the hardest, like getting someone to hit you up last minute and help them out. But not only did you like compensate for that really big band, but like a totally new project. So... For sure. Well, cool. If you wanted to call and ask those questions, you've got to go back to work. Thank you for calling. Thanks for calling. Thank you. For sure. Talk to you guys later. All right.

Mr. Elevator. Mr. Elevator. And the Brain. And the Brain Hotel. Reminds me of Pinky and the Brain. Remember that cartoon? Oh, yeah. It sounds... What are we going to do tonight? I don't know. It sounds just right for the music they're making right now. It's... Seeing them live is a whole different dimension. It's not even... I want to see the audience. Is that a, what, a Casio or a Roland? It's probably the most expensive piece of equipment I've seen. Sounds like it. I can tell. It's really expensive. You can tell. All right. So that was them. I also want to play this video. This video here calls... It's supposed to say walk-in, but it says something else here. It says walk into the echo place. Dude, where'd you find this?

And they used to throw parties at this little small gallery. Maybe like 30 people fit in there. Wow. Those are the best shows. Yeah, yeah, definitely. But then the owner got mad and just kicked him off. And then they went down the street and they opened another small space. Totally. But, yeah, those were good times, man. That was crazy, huh? I never knew there was a video here. Yeah. 104 views. And so I was singing it to people as they're walking by, like walking to the Echoplex. I was just saying that, singing it to them. And then when they were leaving, I was saying that. And then people came outside and they're like, oh, they started just like chiming in and singing along. And then everybody sings. Singing it. And screaming at people. So they're walking by and we're kind of quiet. And as soon as they get in front of us, we all start chanting this. That's awesome. Started a monster. That was fun. That's awesome. All right. Check in the piña tower. And this guy didn't send a picture. So I guess he's not going to get it now. You're on there right now? No, he's. Yeah, I'm on it right now.
