 Jimmy K here, Metal Voice. Look at this. The Metal Voice shirts are now on sale. Just go to the video description to find out on how you can purchase one. Metal! Hey, it's KK. Happy Halloween. I'm at the Chilla Fest in Pasifany, New Jersey, and I'm with the members of the Lucid, Dave and Drew. You might guys might know them. Guys, it seems like I have a little bit of a supergirl by your hand. You got Mike Heller, an amazing, crazy drummer. You got you, your past speaks for yourself. And Vinny Dombraski from Sponge. How did you guys all come together? Let's not forget Drew from Bang Tango. Well, Drew, I'm sorry. How'd you get in? We seem to be of big interest today, because he did a movie about Bang Tango. I watched quite a few times. He's the only guy who would make a movie about how dysfunctional the band is, and then join the band. I just came in to use the bathroom. That's to meet you guys. And he's the guitarist in the Lucid. Now, the Lucid is, I hate to use the term supergroup, but are you guys going to... Are you guys going to tour? Is it a touring band? Yeah, there's... You know, it's funny. We drew, quite honestly. He calls me one day and goes, hey, I'm going to change the editor on your Facebook. And he puts the L logo up, right? And apparently made international news all the way to Al Jazeera and everything else. People seem to be interested. So thank you for that. I appreciate that. And then from there, you know, we started, you know, poppin' some songs out just to, you know, test the water, see what it's going to be, so releasing it in October anyway. And, yeah, speaking of which, and so from there, it just, people seem to really like it. And phones ringing to our agents, and so he's actually booking some shows for us now and stuff overseas as well. So, you know, the... I hate to say supergroup, but one difficult component of this is everybody's off doing it. Do you see sponges touring right now? And most did look this year. You guys are busy? Is all kind of rescheduled from 2021. So, you know, it's a little bit of throwing darts in the map to see what works. But yes, there's definitely some live performances in there. Now, this was his baby? Had he bought it to you? Pretty much. I mean, it's funny. I was actually making the Allison No Cover Records. And Drew said, hey, you want to play bass on the track, which was the song that became Hair. And I sent it over and I played on it. I was like, this is really cool. And he goes, do you want to play in some more? I said, sure. So he sends me like 35 more songs in a trot box. And I'm like, that many more. Okay. So, but the funny thing is, you know, just moving, he and Mike Keller had been working on it and kind of was brought into it. So it was him and Mike first? Yeah, we had a leftover demo from this project we had from a couple years ago that never got finished. We had been coming here. And as Dave played bass on it for kicks, there was just the one track. And then, like, who was going to hit the sing on this thing? And then the first thing that caught my head was Benny from Sponge. So none of us knew him, so I found an email on his website to send him an email with the track. Like, hey, you know what to sing on this. He was involved in all that. And then the second he had sent, I realized why I wanted him to sing on it because it sounded identical to his sponge song. So I thought really quick, I was like, don't worry about it, I apologize. I just embarrassed it. So it sounded way too much like the song Wax Aesthetic was fun. And so I delete the song from Dropbox who doesn't hear it. And then he writes to me, I don't care to send a song. So I sent it, then he says it's a bag, it's called Hair. And we were like, holy crap. It was really cool then. When I sing it some more, oh, actually, it's not for sale. I used to sell cars too. I used to sell cars too. No, you don't want that. It's too much power. It's too much awesome. So now, while this is going on, are you still in there? In fact, I just come home from Nashville recording the bass parts, the bass and drum parts. April 20th, I think. I guess that would have been a little ahead of it. But yeah, we were in Nashville cutting tracks. I mean, you know, it's funny as wacky as COVID was. It was my best pandemic ever, quite honestly, because I did four records, wrote another book, did a movie, so I had a very productive season. Act 2020 was actually good for me. Now, you're also doing a movie. Oh, yeah. Shot it for camera moments. Say what happened with this. You both worked on this? Yeah. It is. He just calls me up and says, hey, you want to be involved in this? Sure. Me and my motto just say yes. Why not? Shot it for $0 in five-mound consecutive days in 2019. I say I cobbled it together out of 11. It's a super fun thing. It's been with Chud after shot. Chud was the old 1980s, early 80s movie. Cannibalism, humanoid, underground dwellers. I saw him at Metropolitan Avenue in Brooklyn. I don't remember going. At the theater. I don't remember going to see that. What better place to release the new movie is the Chillerfest. Yeah, exactly. Especially, you know, he's got us here in New York where Chud's live. So now, what's next for everybody? What's next for the Lucid? Well, some dates are being watched. You know, it's funny. We actually have a nice little dropbox for the new ideas for New Yorkers. Which is fun, because I think when something starts working, people get excited about it. You know, as a band member, you get excited about it. And so, we're doing that. And then, you know, dwellers, all this stuff just came out. Lucid's last project, by the way. All this stuff has only been out a couple of years. So, there's that. There's obviously new creative stuff. And, you know, then cruising into the holidays. You know, things, you know, it's weird that some business just kind of how this all works, you know. Again, a phone call, an e-mail. And one call or e-mail changes the arc of everything. It's like, oh, I guess we're going down this road now. That's how all this works. You said in your book, I mean, about saying yes to things. Yeah? Opening yourself up to a different level. I mean, you know, sometimes you can push so hard to make something happen. Like, I'm trying to roll the rocket legal. And then out of nowhere, it's like, hey, hold on one second. The phone call. Oh, really? Okay, good. Let go of the rocket, let that one roll down the hill, because you're meant to come to another path. And there's another path up the hill, you know. So that's been the story of my life over and over and over. And this is my personal view, but I think that you were putting yourself all over the place and maybe the boss got mad. I don't know. You're out there and I've seen you with Metal Angels. I've seen you at the Best Buy Theater with the Metal Masters. I think I've seen you both times without Megadeth, but I've seen you with Megadeth. But you're always out there and you're a good person. Well, I do all this from the labor of some passion. It's like, what song are we writing? What record are we working on? And you put your heart into it. I'm here only because of my work. That is the more reason I'm here. The fact that we make some money and can pay our bills as we work, you know. I always, when people go, I gotta go back to work. I'm like, dude, this isn't work. You've never had a real job. We're just moving on from playing hopeful and we don't have to get a job. That's what I've been seeing for the last, like, 50 years. But Peter Pancer, we have to grow up. Yeah, yeah, we don't know why. It's like, we're doing all this and this is the fun of it, right? Books, music, records, come over here and chillers and stuff for people to see the light when we do it. And I think that's kind of why everybody's here, you know. Now, does it bother you that they removed your bass tracks and stuff off your footwork into it? I mean, they've just left that on? Look, you know, they did what they did. I don't think they had to do that. I asked them not to, but they did what they did. And so, at that moment, people were hooked from training and stuff, and now you start going back to your off-tracks and, you know, when that machine didn't work, I got to work doing other things. You did very well the first time you went out. Yeah, working with PV and then everything else. You know, at some point, you know, the grandmaster of above was calling the real shots. The real boss? Yeah, I mean, you know, answer to that, boss. I would say the good orderly direction. You know, so just kind of follow that and go on that path. So if you ever get that phone call again, would you say yes? If Dave gets on the line and says, hey, you coming? Look, I don't have, believe it or not, he might find this hard. I don't have any real will toward him or them. Good, that's good. I don't really know. And certainly the fans are all showing up here. Well, everybody's got your back, it sounds like. Well, and I appreciate that. I really do, I appreciate that. You get your whole life to make your first album and you get about nine months to make the second one and every one after that. Because your fans want more from you. You know, they're like, wow, give me more, let's make another record. So at some point, you know, the first one you do just kind of thrown it out. And then after that, your fans want to hear more. And you know, at some point you kind of have to always serve what your gut's telling you, what your heart's telling you. But at the same time, it's nice to have people so that also, that's the inspiration. I'm hoping you do more with this. I'm really hoping we can do more. Yeah, I really do. This is excellent. If you get a chance, check it out. It's the Lucy. It's very good stuff. So despite, you know, the way things kind of break apart when you come together and that other situation kind of breaking apart, ironically provided an interesting juncture for the Lucy. Very good, you know. Some new music and some new ideas. Very good. Everybody, this is Blight from the Chiller Fest in Blossom, New Jersey, and happy Halloween. Thank you, everybody. Thanks, guys. Thanks for your time.
