So I think it's just going to be fair. I love who everybody introduces themselves. Right? So yeah. Um, Frank Aiko, uh, from Dead Skin Remedy Band Lead Vocals. All right. All right.

I just reintroduce yourself. Brian Saibo, lead guitarist. All right, lead guitarist. Yeah. For Dead Skin Remedy. Yeah. Let's just start with the name. Who's going to speak for the band? Okay. About the name. The vocalist. Yeah, he came up with the name. It's always the vocalist, most of the time. So it's always about the name. Where did that come from? Dead Skin Remedy? Well, uh, to keep it short, it's just, uh, the beauty of scars. Wow. Yeah. I didn't think, I think it was going to be something deeper, but then it's still deep. If you'd like the deep part, go ahead, man. Don't be shy. Don't be shy. Yeah, he's the vocalist after all. Well, when you get a cut, uh, it's painful at first and then it heals and then an ugly scar comes up, but you learn from it. You learn from it. Yeah. It's your remedy. Every scar has a story. I hear that. Yeah. Right. All right. So tell us about the band. When did it cut? How was it founded and by who and how did you guys meet? Okay. Um, we actually started out with Frank. It was back in 2015. 2015 when we were still in high school. Why? I guess that was form three. So we just started out as two guys just doing covers of popular rock songs. Yeah. Yeah. So we didn't have any instruments by then. Um, we kept on then it was last year around, um, August maybe. So I guess we're just an year old. Just one year old. It also says it does Sabu Kill. Yeah. We had a previous band. Oh, Sabu Kill. And then now that's kind of remedy. That's kind of remedy. Oh, it's something key. Amazing. So tell us about, um, your, your style, your style of music. How can you describe yourself? I would say our style is maybe garage because of the, we do everything with acoustics when we start off. Right. Then we translate to electrics. So the original versions are acoustics kind of garage. Then it goes to electrics because garage. Right. And your influences. So I think you're going to check this one. What are some of your influences? Maybe as a band or just you as a person and then as a band. What some of the guys, you guys really say? Okay. So I do uncleans for the band. Yeah. So basically that metal and trash. Yeah, I wait for it. We also have another band with the guys. Okay. We also have another band with the guys like Drashmet Allband, Rot Pepper Jesus, a side project. Right. But with their EP and their albums and everything going on, just helping out with the fucking. Yeah. All right. Yeah. All right. It's still 6 p.m. so it's all right. But you're a rock star. So I get that. I get that vibe. Yeah. All right. So, um, tell tell me about your songs. Um, so far you have, you released an EP just recently. Okay. Now before you talk about the EP, I want to know about the, who is the writer for the band? Who writes for the band? I do most of the time. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Tell us through the process. All right. You know, there's writing music and then there's writing rock music. So are there any traditions, you observe anything you have to like tell us about this. Just take us through that. All you know about is writing rock music. Yeah. That's about the process. Like, um, when are you inspired most when you are guys, when you are alone and what do you write about? All right. You can say when we are in grip mode. For someone who's tuning in for the first time, they have no idea what that means. Oh. Yes. Maybe when we're having a small call, maybe just, just chill. Yeah. That's when you're most inspired. Yeah. All right. I like that. Now talk to us about the EP. How many songs and are, where are they available? Just tell us everything. What was, what are they inspired by? Well, EP, last night in Herakru, has five songs. Yeah. Mostly influenced by the sound, grunge. We've always loved grunge from way back. So it's a cool one, I guess. He's not a talker at all. He's like, all right. All right. So, yeah. Be here with me. Maybe, okay. This song, maybe you can tell us about the songs. There are five songs. So what are you guys singing about? Is it about like, um, the daily life? Is it about what you're going through? Is it about, what is it about? Its song has its own, maybe meaning, I can say. Yeah. Um, but mostly we can say it's about we're reflecting much on how the conformist kind of way life is. Right. Yeah. And you should not subject yourself to the system. All right. So where is your music available? Because I talked to YouTube and I was like, oh, okay. All right. So where can people find your music? We need a manager. We need a manager. Okay. So let me just talk to you. Hi guys. If you're out there, you're watching your manager and not just a manager who wants to be a band manager, you know your job. You know, your job as a manager is very hard. You have to find them places to perform, make sure they eat before events, get them events, get them to studio on time. So, you know, manage the money, bringing the money before, okay, set you up for what after gig, the lover you take your cut. Now, get a gig first and then get to share from that. So if you know you can do a good job with that one. Yeah. There's an opportunity right here. Yeah. They're looking for managers. So come through. Where do they find you? What's your social media? Social media, DSR, uh, uh, dead lords, IG, Twitter. I like how they're trying to find it out. Oh, yeah. They're like, do we have Twitter? Okay. But you should get Twitter though. Yeah. I know some people who are really, someone like Yvonne and they know she's watching. Shout out to you, Yvonne. Yvonne. I know she's only on Twitter. She's not on Instagram. She's not on IG. No, she's not on Facebook either. So I guess you all need a Twitter account. Yeah. That manager maybe. That manager should come open a Twitter account. So on Facebook it's DSR? DSR on Instagram. It's a dead lords. Right. Yeah. DSR screen remedy. All right. Okay. That's awesome. Now, tell us about the scene. What do you guys think about the rock scene right now in Kenya? And what are your ambitions as a band? I think the rock scene right now, it's more rock than metal. And we need some metal vibe, like metal DJ. I had the know of, I only destroyed this thing is a metal DJ. That's from Nairobi Metal Fest. So we need more metal in the rock scene right now. More metal. Yeah. So you guys are, are you recruiting any metal head out there? I can join you. Yeah. So we have a band already, Drush Metal. Yeah. We have no drama yet. Oh, so. Yeah. So in need of a drama and a manager, you guys, the guys at home can see that. So are you, okay, apart from the drama and the manager, would you maybe expand, get more people to do in the band? Like here man, if we can get a violin, violin. Yeah, we can do a big set. It needs to be as brutal as it can get. All right. So have you guys performed anywhere so far? Yeah, we have. We have performed at Dago's. Yeah. I think that was last month. Crystal Axis had a gig. It was a charity event. We were supposed to perform at that show, right? Yeah. Yeah. But then you see the manager has a, I don't want to see this. Oh, all right. That was an issue. That was an issue. All right. So when's your next gig and how, how is it, how is it performing out there? How was the experience? When performing. Yeah. It wasn't such a big crowd. I can see like, maybe over 15 people. Right. But the sound there was dope. Man. We almost did 10 songs, right? Yeah. Originals. They had to stop us from playing. Yeah. Why? I know bands who play the land of songs and then they have to start over again from the first song. So if they will stop from playing, that's really amazing. And I'm sure the guys at home will be looking forward to hearing more from me. So yeah. You should come there. Dago's, it's a chill place. Yeah. Dago's is pretty cool. You can booze on stage. You can smoke. Yeah. It's a, Oh, by the way, for people who, it's in the garage, right? And people who think I teach, Oh, you know, the people have this notion like, I teach rockers are cool kids. Dago's is just pretty chilled out. Because the first time I went, I was like, ah, I'm not sure. I'm sure this is the place. Like I wasn't really sure, but it's really, really cool. And the people that come through, especially, like, for lack of a better word, like white folks, you find them hiding out there. I love who, you know, for the sleep, when Flynn is like, oh, this is shady, but he's so cool. That's what I like about rockers, just getting along and everything. So once they are born coming, any plans? No? No. Yes, they're vocalists. I don't know what's wrong, but step to eyes, step to eyes. Well, we plan to record two songs each month. So probably. Oh, you've set that for yourself. Yeah, that schedule. I like that. I have a friend who's currently doing weekly vlogs on YouTube. So every week, he has a new song out. So you guys is monthly. I like that. So you have to keep to it. The guys at home can see that. So we can hold that against you. So next month, if we don't have a new song, which other guys didn't drop a song, is that what you're saying? Yeah, we'll actually hold you accountable. Yeah, true. No worries. You know, a funny fact, when we're in grip mode, we can actually make a whole album within five hours, not to brag. Not to brag. Yeah, that's true. That's cool. But one thing now, this TV, we need videos. So what are the videos dropping? For at least the EP songs first? Yeah. What are the videos coming? We have an idea for a new song, not in the EP, Paralysis. We have been discussing it with Frank, so it was not there yesterday. But it's really simple. So I think two months will be out for a new song, a new video. A new song and a new video. Even for the songs that are already out, you guys can do, even with just a phone. Yeah, yeah. Even the simplest video. We're actually planning on, we are going to Mombasa tomorrow. So like the scenery there, we're planning on taking some shots. We have a camera and we'll put the videos in. Yeah, just put the videos together and get us a video and we'll be more than glad to play you right here on the show. Because we're all about that. We're all about growing the rock scene and just bringing more binds to, you know, on the limelight. We want to take rock mainstream and we're gonna do that without videos and more music. But you promised us more music and videos coming up. Alright, so do you have any last remarks, any shout outs, anything you want to tell the guys at home before you guys go? Alright, here I got Salam, what do you want to do here? You know, then for who come here you have to stop them. Salimah Tuhi and then people, I have like 20 people shout out. And I have to stop them. So yeah, I don't think so. So, alright, he's changed his mind. Shout out to my mom. Yeah, she's watching. Yeah, shout out to my little girl, my sis and my little niece. Nice. Love you all.
