 Crane gang, the change we wish to see Even if it might seem strange initially Think global oppression and hate And as a planet beside a new direction to take Talking along and share a bitch right on the road Love it, love it, love it! Yeah! Nala Moro! What's up guys? Thanks for coming on a simulation! Woo! Super excited to be hosting you. I'm super grateful that we met at the Andrew Yang event in San Francisco and that we scheduled this. Love the music. Nala Moro, that was generate positive change. Such a beautiful song. We have so much to unpack about the mission and about the actual music, the lyrics, why you guys are choosing this, why you guys are putting this together. As an introduction, Nala Moro, a.k.a. the peace and love party band. I love that, love that so, so much. Also, one of the main missions is to nourish positive human evolution and have a lot of fun while we do it. And playing currently around the bay as well as looking to be booked around the USA as well. All these links are below. Let's have an introduction. We have Neil Nyberg first. Neil is on the guitar. He's also on the vocals. We have Coco Harlin. Coco Harlin is on the guitar and he's also placed piano as well. We have No Mansfield who is on the bass. And we have Young Sun who is on the drums. Love it, love it. So this is the four piece band. So let's start off by asking you guys, you know, that was beautiful. That was generate positive change. Teach us about that song. Teach us about the mission. Teach us about the vision that you guys have and we'll pass around the mic as you guys want to start us off. Thank you. Yes, we all want world peace. But we don't just want world peace. We want to thrive. And so we want to inspire people to create a better world. And that is our mission. And we, we're not just a fun band. Like we're actually trying to make an impact in the world because that matters. And so this is why we're doing it. And we're going to have a whole lot of fun while doing it too because we're a party band too. Yeah. That's beautiful. Just want to say the world peace is such a crucial pillar of ours as well. And we can absolutely get there and do it and have a lot of fun while doing it. I know maybe Coco on say something as well along the way. Do you guys want to maybe say something along the way? Neil, he basically covers everything that we need to say. Everyone should just love each other. Yes. Thoughts from the judge over here? Buy our new album because we have secret messaging on it. It's going to make you all love each other. I just want to say playing with this band gets me in this great positive attitude. And I think if you just go around each day, you just put a smile on your face, maybe you're not feeling so good. Just have a good attitude and be considerate. You can get very far and it's going to affect everyone in a positive way. It's really very simple. Yeah, that's that butterfly effect with the positive vibes that we put out every single moment of life. Grateful for life. Now, okay, so that's on the mission, on the vision, love it, and you're going to be playing this beautiful music and having a blast while doing it. Now, how did the band get together? How did you four end up finding each other? Okay. Well, I originally started the band in 2007 in a garage in Newark, California, which is in the Southeast Bay. And there's a couple different incarnations of the band over the years. And for about six years, I didn't do anything. And then when I met Coco in early 2017, we restarted the band and eventually we got everybody. And we've been playing around San Francisco for the last two years and I'm constantly evolving and growing and playing bigger and bigger shows. And now we get to do this with you. And how did you guys find No and Youngson? How did you two guys get found? Well, we all belong to the Vampire Club of San Francisco. So that's how we got to know each other. I could say more about the Vampire Club. And the meeting, secret meeting places on Monday nights at the Hotel Utah Open Mic with Brendan Getzel. I met all of these guys through that and through an Open Mic that I used to host with my wife, Gwenevere Q. And so I think it's just a music community. People will always be playing in different bands and now we just formed this little tribe here. So it's a growing scene. Love it. Okay. So that's how the band got together. So it's been two years now of performing together. Okay, so now able to book, able to book them. So the links are in the bio for those that are interested, book them. And now, okay, so now you guys gave us this big picture of what you want to see the world get to. We're 100% on board. What about we like asking about the current state of humanity? What is your current take on the state of humanity? Humanity is growing and maturing right now. Consciousness is rising on the planet. We're going through a major transformation as a planet right now and people are starting to become more aware of things in general. Things are starting to become more ethical. We're going in that direction and we want to continue with the progression and the advancement of humanity along with its maturity. Humanity needs to mature a little bit more and become more loving to each other, more forgiving because being more loving and being more forgiving, that's going to breed more unity. And more unity is going to breed more cooperation and the more cooperation we have is the more positive change we're going to have and then the more positive change we're going to have is a thriving planet for all life and then we all fucking win. And that will be great for everybody and then we can all just party. So it's a slow period of a consciousness increasing and us figuring out how to play together on this beautiful playground we have on Earth, figure out how to maximize our resource flows to enable everyone to be the absolute peak of their creative potential. Okay, and then now on the last song, Generate Positive Change, tell us about some of those lyrics. We need to be the change that we want to see. We can do it. We need to think globally, act locally. Teach us about these lyrics. Yeah, I use some cliches like, yeah, we want to be the change we want to see and think globally and act locally. It's very true and everybody should do that. We just want to see everything become better on this planet. We want to make this planet shiny and sparkly and vibrant and just happy for all life. We want everybody to be supported. We're all each other's allies and so people need to realize that that we're all just little organisms on this floating rock out in space and we need to get along and work together so we can all thrive. Other thoughts from the band on Generate Positive Change? Cool, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I like the song a lot. I do too. I do too. It's, I vote for it. I love it. I really appreciate that perspective of being just, you know, 8 billion human organisms on the rock along with all of the other plants, animals, insects and all the just this oneness that we really need to start embodying and feeling and dosing up on. Let's roll into the second song, Mama Bear, and then we'll break it down afterwards. Let's do it. All right, this song is about your mom and about my mom and about all the great mother figures in our lives. And it's also my ideal of what the perfect mother would be. And it's also about the divine mother of all creation. One, two, three, four. I do, I do. I'm a wonderful supporter that nurtures me. We sure loved and we're so warm and we're stretching. I appreciate how many sacrifice is that you made for me when I had a crisis. You were there for me, you cared for me, you cherished me. Your sincerity is very sweet. You talk to me with any single word. Skinny, you're always so comforting. Watch as you watch me go up and you lock me down and strut. I pray that I'll keep her up. So far, working, you might cheer me on. Crowd goes wild. So this is so interesting. So it's both on the beautiful, loving, nurturing spirit and energy of a mother of the child that is there for it. At the same time, it's this mother earth. It's this mother evolution. And so, yeah, I just love it. So unpack this. I know you said it at the beginning. We want to hear more on the importance of Mama Bear. Yeah, well, I have a close personal friend of mine who's also a second mom to me. And so I call her Mama Bear. And that's how the title came to be. And then I wrote it about all the great mother figures. And I know it's highly relatable because everybody has a great mother figure in their lives. It doesn't have to be a mom. It could be a grandmother. It could be an aunt. It could be a bigger older sister. And it could also be just about the earth, the earth, mother earth, and the multiverse, which was the one that we're all part of, Source Energy, the Divine Mother of all creation. And I just wanted to honor all those mother figures. And we like to talk about this a lot on the show. The importance of the seed that is birthed into the world is the child. And then given the right nutrients, given the right care, love, compassion, water, food, shelter, energy, all of the basic needs are that it needs, that seed can more easily thrive when it gets exposed to all of the potential creative stimuli that it can actualize itself with. And one of those things is this central key point of this love and compassion of a mother, a father, a grandmother, like you said, all of the different friend. At the same time, we talk about Source, this infinite consciousness, this source consciousness, this mother energy that we're all baked into this interconnectedness that is so beautiful. Okay, so now I want to ask about, we have this benevolence fucking rules over here. We love that so much. We talked about nourishing positive human evolution. Your messaging is very profound. Now, we talked earlier at the beginning about what we have for a long-term vision of world peace. We talked about what's happening on the Earth today. Tell us about these incremental steps towards love, towards unity. What can we do today with this positive energy that we can carry around with us? What are the things we can do today to continue pushing us forward in our communities and around the world? Me? I'm really not sure what to say. I think Neil is usually the spokesperson of the band and I just rely on him to cover everything. He created a Facebook page. He just left that. It's called Universal Unification. Yeah, I've always just been about trying to get everyone to just work together. There's so much stuff on the news about the enemies and they're making up enemies for everybody. It's just false. Who the fuck are they? Who are the enemies? That's the bottom line right there. There's no enemies. The powers that be have used divide and conquer to rule over people for thousands of years and it's been working. We're trying to unring that bell. We're trying to undo that. We're trying to remove all these barriers because they've been set up to control us and to keep us down. Really, the people have the power and people need to be empowered. In order to work together, people need to be more loving to one another and forgive one another. None of us are religious at all, but we want people to be more loving and more forgiving because that matters and that will make an impact in the world. Thoughts from you guys as well? Yes? Everybody should do mushrooms and be kind to each other. Absolutely. I totally agree. I just want to say, just about this entire thing, our planet is the mother. Without it, we're not going to do anything. We wouldn't be here without it and I think we just have to be more kind to it and be careful about what we do and realize that we're... Honestly, I feel like the human species is sort of a pest and that we need to learn how to be better. I think we're making a huge impact on the world right now and it's not good. I feel like things aren't doing well, but we're just a band, but I feel like this is one little tiny message toward that. We're just trying to get people in a good mood so they can be more receptive to this and not be fighting each other. I think that's the first step. It's really up to everyone. Your impact goes a long way even as a band, as the four you are, goes a long way as we keep spreading these messages further and further across the world. The good ideas we'll spread on and we'll get to that love and unity. I want to ask you, there is a certain complexity to how all these different evolution of all these different cultures and tribes kind of grew up and it's hard to get people to wrap their mind around the tribe of Earth, the tribe of that one, that union, versus the tribe of the individual countries or the individual nuclear families. How do we get more people to get past that and especially in the complexities with trade and economics and all of the cyber war that's happening with information technology. What needs to happen for that spiritual awakening to get past the tribes and into the oneness, into the unity? Do mushrooms and be kind to each other? No, I mean, that's the thing. Everybody needs to be mellow out and be kind and that's kind of what we're talking about. We're kind of open as far as a band. We're actually happy and like each other and shit. And Neil writes these really cool songs with mama bear. I mean, we all love to party with our moms. Yeah, I mean, see how fucking wholesome we are? No, but anyway, yeah, everybody should be, go out of their way to be kind in all circumstances. We want to make it really popular for people to be more kind to one another. Make it like the thing to do. It's like everybody's doing it. We all want to be more loving to one another. And if it catches on, like if it's the thing to do, like everybody's doing it, then more people are going to do it. And so us getting out there more and getting our music out there can help inspire that. Because we don't have all the answers and no one person has all the answers. We want to inspire humans to figure all this stuff out and work together. It's an interesting, you know, no keep saying like do mushrooms, you know, psychedelics are something that... But we are totally on board. You know, we love maps. We've had multi-disciplinary association for psychedelic studies on our show many times. And we are totally for the responsible use of psychedelics, especially for spiritual awakening. Meditation helps with spiritual awakening. These things are deeply important to get more people practicing and involved with and awakening through that. So I completely agree. And even just the general acts of kindness, of thanking your parents for bringing into it, thanking the communities that you have for food and electricity, all the people that built all the things that we use every single day. Okay, next up we have Have a Beer. This is our next song or third song. Yes. Cheers. Cheers, yes. So let's jump into Have a Beer and you guys will rock that one out. All right, there's going to be beer companies watching and we're looking for a beer sponsor. And it will play in your brand name in this song. Two, three, four. Fastivities from all of us You don't need any harm or just living free So have a good time Leave your inhibition behind Smile for the camera with a few signs We are getting tipsy off our asses drinking Before we take a sip, we have our glasses clinking Our blessings and glimpses are going down I'll waste ya, make it in more warmth And pound a stir, they sigh Your research's are seven of my nice party friends We'll get the sniper heaven at a high RPM With IPAs in this library Placed with a smiling face For the good times we made Here, we ask ya Just and we'll show it off in this poppin' party We're all coming to hang out and do some alcohol I'm chugging, it's my day here Swans, they excite them When they come to play beer pong Rules are showing up I'm using bullets, getting loose They're going to want to be afraid And it plays on the doing a little bit Of our favorite psychedelics Or alcohol, whatever it may be Responsibly, not to the point Of actually harming ourselves With the consumption of this Taking Uber, driving, all these things That you mentioned in the song, yes, yes But it brings us together This aspect of the community that we can have When we sit down and we use These times to bring us together And maybe have good conversations And unpack some of the things That we have going on in the world Now, another thing that this really Brought forth for me was this idea Of the power of music for change It's almost as though music is something That's so evolutionarily old Our audio, our ability to hear And so tell us about your understanding Of how music and your songs Can get people into this rhythm Of wanting to follow the steps Towards that world piece to that unity So tell us about that We think that we're the piece In love party band, that's our nickname So we think that partying Can bring people together Music brings people together But also having a beer with each other That can build, can meet people That way, build community And people having a good time In a good atmosphere That is good for unity Yeah, are you done? We like beer Like Ted Guy But we aren't running for Supreme Court But no, beer is okay Anything is okay if you don't abuse it Beer is cool because it'll make you loose And dance better At least you think you're dancing better And so, but yeah Any minute an asteroid is going to hit So we might as well be partying, right? Now, yes Well, yeah, I mean, let's have a beer The song used to be called Chug a Beer And so we were thinking about it And we're like, how about have a beer Get a little more responsible with it Chugging a beer that might lead to some bad stuff going on So I think it might be sip a beer at one point The older we get, the less it gets radical Yeah, sip a tea Chasing it to have a tea Yeah, you can bond over tea Yeah, that's funny That highlights the evolution of the ethics as well Is that we may start with thinking, yeah, chug But then we take it back a notch for safety And for health and all that stuff I love, love, love the power of music And the power of your music And all more is music in order to be able to get us Towards that unity, towards that world peace And I think to have more millennials and Gen Z The young people listening to this music Making their own bands that propagate music Of love and peace and unity Is definitely what we need because music Is that powerful changer So in the video as well Is what we try and do these video These thought provoking conversations We think are very good, very compatible Ways that get people excited Okay, we have some questions That we like to ask on the show Alright, and even, you know You explained this earlier, Neil And I want to make sure people hear this message again Teach them about how that unity Gets us to greater cooperation Which gets us to greater change And gets us to that state of planetary one So, like I said, none of us are religious But we take the things from Christianity And most other, like most major world religions Teach love and the golden rule Which is just doing to others What you would have them do on to you And being more loving And being more forgiving to each other Will breed more unity that way Because people become friends That they support each other And then more unity Then there's more cooperation And people need to work together And then more cooperation Then there's more positive change And then more and more and more positive change A thriving planet for all life Nice and bright and shiny And sparkly and thriving And then we all win And that's the end game Yes, that's very beautifully said And I really wanted you to hit on that That's what you did There's this first step Like you guys have all been saying now Is this loving and forgiving attitude Towards each other And towards what we have here on earth And there's a, I kind of hinted at this earlier There's these weird economic and political And social pressures that kind of Are driving people into this me mentality Me, I reap, I, I, I, me And it's kind of plagued Because there's no separation No, the ego is an illusion, right? And so to get to that state of interconnectedness Is this really deep process Of like sincere self-work And I think that's something that We've had Bernard Gunther on the show We heavily agree like this Process of tuning inward And working on one's own self Towards that love and forgiveness Can then catalyze a massive global shift In that direction The systems have to change too The economics, the politics have to change In that direction as well Okay, the couple questions that we like to ask On simulation on the way out We'll go maybe from Neil over here And the first question is Do you believe we are alone in the cosmos? Oh, absolutely not We're definitely not alone The universe is teeming with life I'm not really talking about aliens right now In my career But yes, I definitely know that they exist Maybe that's another song idea, potentially Yes, in the future for sure Yeah, I don't think that we're alone We might not have found anything out there right now But we can't be alone I was alone a little while yesterday But it didn't last No, we're not alone Do you know that a scientist told me once That there's a gene in your DNA From everything that's ever lived before you So it just reinforces that we're all one I mean, there's frog genes in you And there's tree genes in me And there's trilobite genes in him Yeah, mostly trilobite Yeah, but yeah, we're definitely Not only are there others everywhere else We're all connected here and there Anyway Well, just think about all the different species on this planet And how different they are From, you know, the extremophiles The bottom of the ocean, insects, humans Everything in between And imagine, just imagine what there could be out there Now, there's no evidence that there's anything out there But, I mean, look at the known universe It's gigantic with so many different types of planets And areas that, I mean, it's unimaginable What could be out there So that brings up my creativity It makes me want to just create what that could be And not be anywhere close And then let's ask, this is simulation So we will ask you, are we in a simulation? Well, they say life is a dream So I don't know, it could be I know that the universe is holographic And that everything is energy vibrating at a certain frequency And I know that the frequencies are rising on the planet right now That's all I really could say about it being a simulation I think that it's possible that it could be a simulation But it doesn't change anything We should make the best of it I was in a simulation yesterday But then the dog came in and puked on the floor And I just took away, you know, ruined the mood I don't think there's no way to know There's really no way to know So it's a fun thought It's a thought experiment And hopefully we'll be poking the simulation with our scientific probe soon And checking, yeah, some way to test it Exactly, exactly And then our last question on the show is What is the most beautiful thing in the world? Love is the most beautiful thing in the world Love is the cure, love is the universal key All humans are here to learn how to love And each lifetime is a learning and growing experience And you'll go through lessons and struggles And it's all really basically to learn how to be more loving And... yep I think that covers it Love is the most beautiful thing in the world Except for my sister The most beautiful thing in the world to me Is right here on my drum set I don't know if you can see it And that would be my wife going over to you No big fucking deal Can I do it over? My bike bundles, she's the most beautiful We have any answer corrections? Music, we can't forget music Music, yeah Was that her or the larger poster? Yeah, yeah Yes, yes Edit, edit, quick edit Yeah, quick edit, yeah You need to edit to my wife as the answer Yes, yes, yeah I need to edit, edit, edit I love it Okay, so give us the quick bit on the future of Nalamora You guys have a bay area performing The links are below everyone Also, I'm looking to get booked for uni You said, and have a beer You said that you're looking for, again, sponsors For the songs Are you guys thinking about doing other music Around our interconnectedness and our unity Is that kind of the trajectory of the music As well, so teach us about the future For you guys Yeah, we're just waiting until someone Wants to sponsor us so we can tour And spread our magic and love around the world We set up shows Around San Francisco and the bay area We're playing at bottom of the hill Tomorrow night here in San Francisco We're also, I'm hosting a free outdoor Indie music festival on Ocean Beach Saturday June 22 It's called June Beach Fest And we are playing And Coco has his own band No Parking They're playing and No has his own band Revolution Which are playing And, yeah, we're all in each other's bands Really And we're playing at a few different house parties And we're working on our next album Which is our party album called Getting Down Hell of Tough And we're also about to release A really important song called Solar Punk Opus Which is all about creating New, green, sustainable infrastructure All over the world Being very ethical, very green Sustainable, fair trade Ethically sourced, everything And really egalitarian societies We want to promote people to live in that way We want to raise money to build Universal basic infrastructure All over the world Especially in the poorest areas of the world So clean water, housing, stuff like that And that's our plan for the future Give me the quick bit on the other bands This is interesting, we didn't know that So, is Young Sun also another band as well? Okay, so teach us, we have No Parking Teach us about the other band as well And about what's the mission and the vision Of your other bands as well Well, my mission, I just really love playing music That's all I want to do I listen to Stevie Ray Vaughn's guitar playing And I try to pick up all the little things he's doing Jimmy Hendrix That's all I do, I just want to play I don't have any specific mission I just want to do what I love to do I love that, I love that so much That's when you know that someone's Super dedicated to their craft Is that they just want to do that That's the thing that they do with their life Love it, yeah I feel really lucky Because I'm sort of in a community In this group in particular We're all connected with Jason's band Jason plays in one of my other bands These guys play Yeah, yeah Yeah, get down The San Francisco music community Is probably one of the tightest that I've ever been around And it's really based on sort of Supporting each other as opposed to Maybe Los Angeles or New York That's it everyone, thanks for tuning in To the episode with featuring Nalimora Generating positive change in their band And everything, check out all their links in the bio Keep supporting the artists and entrepreneurs That you believe in everyone Much love and we will see you soon We're going to close with California poppin' Nalimora's last song of the evening Thank you very much And much love I want to hold your hand I'm a golden gate bridge You're the one I want to grow You're the one I want to hold And grow your love we're Than a dozen bouquets of tulips I'm just so glad to met you Thanks to keep it You're nice and pleasant Like a small ocean breeze In the tropics Coming across the calm open seas I like to cheer the type of gal That's sort of naughty And pretty as a brightly blooming California poppin' It's indisputable It's irrefutable You're even more beautiful With your unprovided soul Nothing about you is dull Truth be told If I'm before you Maybe lose control What about you?
