 I know, right? I don't like, he's just always surprised. He likes like switching things up a little bit, like not just playing one style of music. I don't know, but we are all good as long as y'all are having fun. I'm good. The hashtag is rock to a different. Thank you so much for sticking with us. Like I mentioned earlier, we have guests in studio. I told you that, right? Now they are right here. They're not new to the show. Y'all already know about them. They're all about, they're actually kids. They are Power Slider, K.A. kids. They are a punk bank, a punk band. Best in Kenya. Yeah, and they decided to visit us today. I'm just like super excited that y'all are here. So for anyone who's trying to catch up, can you reintroduce yourself? I'm going to start with Willie, of course, and then George. Well, you've already introduced yourself. I know, right? No, when you're introducing yourself, a little bit more like, I'm Willie. I do this for the band. I went to Harvard. No, I'm just saying. Okay, okay. So I'm Willie. I'm the guitarist and vocalist for Power Slide. Well, today we're two thirds of Power Slide. We have a drama creed, but he couldn't make it. So it's just George and I. George will take over. Hi guys, my name is George Zuko. I'm the bassist. You're always welcome. Y'all have been here. I like when people keep their wild skills. Remember the last time they were here? And then they're like, oh, we're working on new music. We're going to be releasing it soon. Are you guys sure? Because everybody always says that. Yeah, yeah, we know. You know? So you've released good new music and you're here to launch it. So we're just super excited to have you guys. We're excited to be here. Yeah, the last time you were here, we're still doing the whole social distancing thing. We still do that. But then back then it was so serious. So if I can go, things have actually settled down just a little bit. The economy has re-opened somehow. People can at least hang out just for a while. But yeah, we still have curfew, but we've come a long way. So how are you guys doing? What have you guys been up to? Of course. Was it a month ago, or is it two months ago? Two months ago. Since then we've just been working on the new album. We just released the first single from the album six days ago under eight days of eternity. And this is like the debut of our new sound or one of our new sounds. We have so many new sounds now. And this sound George is a really big indie fan and since we joined the band we're kind of drifting towards experimenting with different sounds. On the album it's got 15 songs and each one of the songs comes from a different genre or a different subgenre or a different sound. Because rock just by itself has so many other genres that have other subgenres. It's like a kid who was a kid who was another kid. I don't know why people generalize rock when people hear rock they think metal. Not even knowing metal itself has other subgenres. There's doom, there's black metal there's like a new metal. So, like Baby metal is a band. Baby metal is a band. They are bands. My bad. My bad. The first single is indie rock but now the second single is going to be heavy metal. This is our popiest song and the next song will be our heaviest song so the whole album is like a very big experiment. I don't know what the album is going to look like and we have 15 tracks. 15 tracks that sound totally different. The first song doesn't sound anything in the second one. I've already introduced the guys you see I just changed the playlist but the time the album will be mentally prepared. It's the same band. It's cool and George just before Covid you know like you all were supposed to travel out of the country, you had a gig how's that going? Are you still going to perform? You had a tour in Europe. Yeah, we had a tour in Europe because of the Covid thing and now we have postponed it so I think we'll be going next year. Yeah, we should be going in 2020. Yeah, 2021 which is just like so close. Just like 2 months away. I know because next month is my birthday. When's your birthday? 16th. I don't even know. I just keep saying that so that people don't be like really crazy. You know our song holo? Now that song is about one of my old girlfriends on November 16th. Okay, let me calm down. You know. Let me just calm down. We're going to talk after this show because if we talk right now one time I was having an interview on the show it's just like a band I really really liked and then guys were like, you know just take some water you know, like take some water so I don't want someone telling me to take water like now. You know, I want to hear about this song. What's the name of their single like the one you all under the gaze of eternity, right? Tell me about that. How did that come about? So like we came to Willy's house and then I told him like we should do any song and then really I tried to mix it up. I tried to create some instrumentals and then like I just heard it and I said like this is one of the best indie songs ever like I love the whole the whole instrumental and then we just started experimenting for that. Okay, let me first of all hold up like you say like he created bits for the song like he was the one who was like producing beats and stuff He's the one producing. Like what? Okay mind blowing. I produced it and I played all the instruments actually I was expecting that we met we were talking about life after death I can't even like you know like when I asked him to introduce himself those are some of the things I want him to measure because I say I'm a producer though but that's like cheating Hi, my name is Willy like so I play guitar I'm the lead singer of Power Slide I'm a producer and I'm also a creative genius because I have much skills in Photoshop like literally anything and I'm not even making that up like that's true yeah so what is the song all about though like the inspiration behind it so the inspiration behind it was well the lyrics as well the lyrics just mean that it's a song about diversity and it talks about how the different sides of life are just all parts of the same coin how all the things we hate in life or all the things we don't want in life are actually the things that make the things that we enjoy a reality because we wouldn't know what dark is if we didn't know what light is we would never know what it is to be hungry if we hadn't been full we wouldn't know what left is without a right that's actually true you know like maybe you don't want a right right now but you've never experienced it like yeah I totally get that especially now it's like the world seems like it's going to a really bad place and every single time it's like there's a new issue coming out first we had Covid and then that was like xenophobia everywhere and then we had Black Lives Matter and then we had All Lives Matter and then we had Blue Lives Matter and now we have we're always fighting each other everyone's trying to fight each other yeah exactly and I was actually going to ask about that because most punk bands are very political like you all tend to talk about the bad politics and the policies that are being put in place and right now what's happening in Nigeria like the whole of Africa there's so many hashtags and sad, there's Congo is bleeding there's South Africa and GBV there's the best violence there's Namibia I think like so many girls are getting raped they declare a state of emergency because there are so many women that are getting raped and killed like really that bad I think like a month like a thousand rape cases had been reported like a thousand in one state like it's really bad so like every country it's just like going through a lot what do you take on that by the way I just feel like the world just needs a lot of love right yeah and that's what we're trying to do we're trying to have a song that's uniting people instead of having everyone fight each other and also like the gender based violence also like police brutality especially that people should talk about it and people should like try to elect people who like can stand up for them because when there's like police brutality I never see like the politicians talking about it or saying wrong or anything or doing anything about it until they're worked with themselves yeah yeah so like we should pick better leaders like how do you even do that like you know I think like most youth are just like tired you hear everybody's like I'm never gonna vote ever like I think in my whole lifetime I voted once I voted the last election for the first time in my life like ever but I feel like I don't know do votes even count because like even this country likes a lot of corruption so I don't know like what do you think the youth should do because you feel stuck like maybe my one vote won't change anything anyway so do they like still vote do they party how do they even participate and the government they're not even part of like sometime you feel like even the youth like you find like maybe this department is the youth department but the person who is in charge of the youth you guys I feel like if views count you see like likes count views count why should not your vote count we should take voting seriously and it should be like that vote is like a view it's like a like even it's more than a like than a view so like take your take your voting seriously and I think the youth should get more into politics yeah that's actually true because like most youth you meet them they're like no I don't do politics I'm not interested in politics but you don't know like every decision of your life is actually governed by that like today the president wakes up and he's like oh there's a lockdown you can't go anywhere he's politically correct like you are a youtuber or whatever you do that you think politics doesn't affect your life is actually literally affected by his words so I feel like we all like need to take part however small the way you just said that view that one like it literally counts yeah so I can't wait for you guys to come back when the album is done so that you all can perform for us like bring create bring like a drama bling everyone should just literally come through I said bling like oh my god what you know don't even ask me we're gonna start playing with an additional guitarist yes so you're gonna be tell me the lady though like your last week we had a lady a guitarist mind-blowing actually we had
