 was getting used to it no more anyway we welcome our band we're delighted to see them here it's Tarnan McHugh and his band well I say it's his band Junga Tarnan you speak for us how you getting on I'm perfect how are you Paul? I'm really good and you've Kain how are you Kain? Grand Paul how are you? I'm Connor I'm top of the world Connor and uh Josh yeah fantastic good man that's good to see people in such good spirits do you know what I want to say genuinely thanks very much for coming up because like you know I would have expected just to cancel the night like you know uh so it means a lot and it shows that I come up and Tarnan the band how long was it together um about a year about a year what's we were playing for about a year and then we were like right we kind of need a proper drummer and we text Josh and straight away on the boss from day one then that was us bring it and uh right you're best dairy best is that we're right in saying that yeah okay right so uh we're going to talk a wee bit more but we're going to go into our first piece of music right away if you don't mind so the first one up for us is roll three and this is your own there's no original piece and who wrote this myself good man Kain yourself and uh you'll get all the royalties when it hits a big time hopefully yeah hopefully yeah right lads we'd love to hear this whenever you're ready rock and beat so uh Tarnan just uh do yourself or sir the the style of music as genre is it is it rock or is it what how do you describe it I don't actually know we don't I think we don't really we haven't really said a thing on it we've more just been like just alternative I we've kind of just put who do you who would you kind of um you know who inspired you musically um Pete's about this for definite um another band called surf curse right um that's all the covers we've done this kind of what is the other as a band kind of we enjoyed it so um do you gig much are you just gigging much um at the minute we now you're coming up we have quite a few gigs right okay um you're you're right this friday night yes friday night and seven twenty seven twenty seven twenty i heard a seven twenty god it's going a long time and uh is this your own slot is it it's more it's like a fast little type of thing there's a lot of few bands playing at it okay and long would you do you i'm half nurse 21 a set so right and would you play all your own stuff on that um i think so i i think we'll be doing all our own stuff on it how many songs would you have as a as in your as a original slug um five or six now good stuff we've been currently writing on a lot more at the moment when you write k and you said you wrote dad last one right when you write he is right collectively or do you you know do you sit down together what way does it work for you see me and Conor we would come up with you know the rhythm section say and then we would take it down the mccune josh and say sometimes if we are having new writers block it's better for four people on it you know what i mean we can all point off each other's ideas from there so it's better but then in certain cases then i will just sit down a day and write out myself do you know what i mean do you use all song letters you all do with a song writing you just run would it tell you the debate without just the drummer so you're just don't drum josh you're a very he's the backbone you're the backbone of the band let me tell you something now and how long are you drumming um decade now i think oh yeah what made you start that you learn to school or do you just take it up yourself or right i'll tell you the false story so one christmas i got a dirt bike um an unboxing day dirt bike my dad broke it by post art and then my parents say well what would you want to stay and i was like maybe a drum kit and then just from there i mean i just i fell in love um excellent um i had a one of my dad's friends show me um came to my house once or twice to give me a run through what to do you know after that i just kind of i've been self-taught since then really good laugh do you follow drummers and that when you're learning you know do you go on youtube or follow drummers or is there yeah no definitely um i definitely well the way i would have used the practice is just any kind of bands that i'd listen to i would um just drum along the tracks and try something just youtube to break down songs try to learn things that i just can't hate get it by ear but um um yeah i don't not much um you're right not much uh not much youtube really wouldn't really use um that for like you know finding drummers oh very good well that's good and along made last you like this scene oh yeah definitely good stuff yeah right uh corner we'll go to you you're on the uh you're on the main guitar i call the guitar league guitar how long how long are you playing that league guitar uh a bit about six years or so now uh another christmas present one i said what it was yeah right i actually played a ukulele before and then a bit of a difference there but uh fell in love with the guitar line so did you find it hard to get on there uh at the start but i feel like you go through different stages of hitting blocks and then once you overcome it it's okay fresh again very good good man and you like that guitar i love it good right enjoy it's a class looking guitar it really is a lot of people say that right um where we're going now kean you're you're doing guitars well two league guitars is that right i'd be mainly rhythm rhythm section okay but um i didn't start that long ago actually the bounty paw started only the start of cover you know it just they it was just boredom just picked it up your music of before that like were you doing anything before i was on the clarinet i'm a great seven on clarinet so that was a big change um but uh a big difference but uh it was my father he he's all under the guitar so i would always just watch him play uh very good he gave me one of his old ones and are you self-taught or did you get less myself taught that is a big guy on youtube called morty music he's morty swartz morty swartz that's that i watch hi he's the guy he's the guy i'm shouting him out i didn't think anybody else but he is but hey he's some brilliant tutorials and he's very very good yeah he is oh he is marty swartz yeah there you go just shows you i have a guitar to you and i put marty on and just sometimes just let marty go out on me he's great hey he's class excellent hey that's good it just shows you the power of that and uh turning yourself on bass obviously there how long are you in that yoke um i say i'm only about three years you know roughly do you play anything before that um not really i was no i don't think so i would dabble at stuff but i wouldn't really stay on it as a class-looking guitar if you don't mind me saying it's probably new looking isn't it it's i've had it for years my first baby that's your first baby that's your oldest i keep her i do keep her in quite good nick it isn't good nick now it's not got to rock and roll bangs and stuff like i don't want to do there is the problem yeah good stuff right we're going to get the second piece of music boys and then we'll chat a little bit about recording and stuff and uh if you if you don't mind you know uh you just take your time josh did you come here did you did you think you entered in our competition local hero we were

it's on the works it's on the works good stuff it seems to be equally as important out of it is it mad isn't it but uh uh good luck for that would have you uh would you have enough material for an album do you think maybe an EP now but not an album yeah we'll talk about an album when it's time all right i think it's time yeah well no need to rush no need to rush exactly people uh you'll be obviously you'll be putting a single on uh Spotify's the itunes and the all their tunes whatever tunes that was out there them all and uh the best look right they uh as i said they were on about song writing do do you listen you know if you if you get a if you get an idea for a song do do you compare to sort of you know do you have it in your head like it's an or artist good thing that i'm thinking oh that's somebody such and such you know do you follow like uh i'm just saying a waste is there something do you say you know is there any sort of format you follow or any artist you say you know like in a style or does it just you know what's what's your is it yours is it your style go on ahead josh what do you say are you saying are we trying are we trying to something like are we trying to get to a style like that's what i'm trying to say i would have said we're trying to do our own thing yes yeah which is perfect yeah seems to just be when we write things we just come falls into place but as a band do you have that sound in your head collectively do you have your sound i i think so i think like you know i've only i've only been involved since september um we're definitely on route to you know sometimes you write some songs and maybe a little bit different sounding but i think we do have a general sound and um you kind of know the sound that you want but definitely i'll try to limit ourselves that something specific i say we're definitely trying to um you know always be open to different kind of genres but um it's great to have your own sound but but yeah i think i think we do i think we do everything we do getting there anyway that's good and uh what is it is that is that corner boy available it's bad as thunder hear me love love from donkers donkers unbelievable this tv sees this tv stuff took off here no and so people want to get in touch with uh what what are you a ticket you're on everything yes yes under what young young a band but our email however would be the our actual german the german spelling of our name which is where our name is from yeah i was going to ask where did you get the name from what does it mean me my uh my father he's german and uh my german connection here isn't it your father's german i he's in the very region called lower mine and uh younger just stands for guys basically that's it guys we're just a bunch of guys it's excellent excellent well there you go it's always a german connection but very i love there too i loved it i was an xtat and angle stat that way on down near munich loved it i absolutely loved it us a long time ago now but you know that's another story for another day lads the final piece of music we'd love you to do first is what our single that is coming out right now every time you're free and is there a story behind it there is indeed yeah um i actually read the song there it was uh it was in my room i came up with a chord progression then we're playing it it was in the the tech nor first regional college there in dairy we were playing it for a show we had a show on turning all was in a different band um played the song with another band didn't really like it said to me she get this record to get something going with it um connor comes along there is josh comes along there it is that's where we're at that's where we're at and basically what the song is about dopol it's about that the drug problem in dairy for the song about because it is becoming a problem and i you just see it around the town and of course of course decided they put the feelings in their song because do you know what i what i love about it which i think could stick these very very well the way you said there now you can you know you have a thing in your head and then it sounded better you know once say josh come on with the drums and connor come on with us but and then you got the sound that you want it do you know yourself turn it a like that that means you sort of appreciate and respect one another as as artists so you're prepared to take a bit of sort of constructive criticism right brilliant well done well done i love that i love the energy so let me this uh so the title of the song is zombies zombies right up our street when you're ready lads sorry josh you have to get on i forgot about that i'm really going two three four sorry josh you kick it off when
