Off the Record

DJ Ocean Spray 0:05
Hello, this is DJ Ocean Spray, and you're listening to an Off the Record podcast interview. So today I wanted to talk about some Chapel Hill based bands. Like most college towns, Chapel Hill has lots of bands formed by students. But this semester in particular, I have noticed that bands have kind of been forming out of control. Every week, it seems like there's a new band, and Snapchat stories are filled with people looking for drummers or singers. I think it's very interesting that these bands are appearing at such a rapid rate. And to explore this a little bit further, I have brought in a recently formed Chapel Hill band Juggs. Can everyone go around and introduce themselves with their role in the band and their major?

Kerrington Barksdale 0:53
So I'm Kerrington. I am the lead singer of Juggs, and I am a chemistry major.

Malcolm Douglas 1:01
Hi, I'm Malcolm, I am the bass player for Juggs. And I'm still trying to figure out my major.

Grant Hutchison 1:08
Hi, my name is Grant. I'm the lead guitarist for Juggs. And I'm a poli sci major.

William Malone 1:15
Hi, my name is Malone. I'm the drummer for Juggs and I'm a psych major.

Warner Vaughan 1:18
My name is Warner. I'm the rhythm guitarist for Juggs. And I'm a psych major.

DJ Ocean Spray 1:24
So how did the band form?

Kerrington Barksdale 1:27
Okay, so I'm second semester last year, we I met Warner like early last semester or early first semester of our freshman year. Probably like October-ish, yeah, October-ish. And so Warner mentioned something about like wanting to start a band. And I was like, dude, I've always wanted to have like a college band of some sort. Like, that would be so fun. That'd be the dream. And so then, after I had rushed St. Anthony Hall at UNC, and I met Malone at a couple of the rush events, and Malone mentioned that he'd been playing drums for like, so long. Like, a year at that point. No, it was like, I remember it being like, impressive. And I was like, whoa, I need this guy to be in a band. And I was like, Dude, do you want to start a band be so honest. And he was like, yeah, so it was at to start off the second semester. It was me Warner and Malone. And then we were nameless, for a hot second. And it was like the end of second semester. And we had our first gig and we had like two days to prepare for it. So we set up an entire set and practiced it in two days for the performance that we had. Which was a crazy turnaround.

Warner Vaughan 2:35
Very bare bones just just guitar and drums and vocals, no bass, no lead guitar.

Kerrington Barksdale 2:41
No mic stands. Like it was very like suitcase guitar set like suitcase drum kit. It was like very.

William Malone 2:47
I switched to guitar at some point.

Kerrington Barksdale 2:48
Yeah. It was, it was a mess. But um, then this semester, I guess. Malone found Grant.

Grant Hutchison 2:58
He discovered me

William Malone 2:59
My girlfriend's friend called her up and said to Put Me On the phone. And it was Grant and he just said, Hey, can we jam. And we jammed. And that was pretty much it.

DJ Ocean Spray 3:12
That's really cool.

Kerrington Barksdale 3:13
Yeah. And then, and then well, Malcolm, how did you come into the equation? I

Malcolm Douglas 3:19
I met grant through a mutual friend. And then I just kind of came in the band. They were looking for a bass player. And I was like, hey, I play bass. And I can play for y'all.

DJ Ocean Spray 3:30
Can you tell me how y'all ended on the name Juggs?

Kerrington Barksdale 3:34
So I actually genuinely don't know how this name came up. I can't even remember we were like going through like random objects, I guess. Or like random names that we thought would be silly. And there's another campus band at UNC called Braless. And we thought it would be funny if we ever collab that would be braless Juggs. So that was like some of the inspiration but also we just know we like it.

Grant Hutchison 4:00
I will take credit for the two G's part because I thought that would be like better for merch if we ever end up getting that.

William Malone 4:05
Like the eyes

DJ Ocean Spray 4:11
So I know some of you mentioned that you have had experience with music before. Can you tell me more about that?

Kerrington Barksdale 4:18
Um, yeah, I mean, I played music throughout like Middle and High School in like my schools orchestra. My grandparents are very musical my grandfather's are both in like five bands each like they're crazy, but um, I was also choir kid growing up so big singer, but no, like, real live like, singing. For me personally like this, this was like the first time I'd ever been like in front of a crowd and actually singing.

Malcolm Douglas 4:46
Yeah, I've been playing music pretty much my whole life. I crossed a number of different instruments. The bass is actually the last instrument that I picked up. I started it in high school, but I've been playing guitar and I started on the mandolin, actually. And that I've been I've been doing that for almost eight years now maybe longer than that. But yeah, this is, this has been nice. I it's a different scene in Chapel Hill than what I'm used to. And there's a lot of people that love music there. So it's pretty great to be a part of that.

Grant Hutchison 5:22
Yeah, um, in a casual sense, I've always played guitar, maybe for eight or nine years. And I played bass throughout middle and high school. Like, stand up like orchestral bass. But when I went to State last year, I was really inspired by like, the college band scene, like the shows were so much fun. And I realized, I would have to practice a lot work on my theory, and learn how to play with people instead of just like, in a casual sense on my own. So that's kind of what I focused on this summer. And it just clicked really well. I got really lucky. But I've never done live performances really, like this.

William Malone 6:04
Yeah, I, I didn't pick up guitar guitar was my first instrument. I didn't pick it up until I saw my brother playing in a band in high school. And that inspired me to get into music. And then after that, I picked up bass and then drums. Like Malcolm drums was my last instrument I picked up and it's the one I play. Um, but yeah, I just kind of got more and more into music, the longer I played each instrument, and, like now I've, me and a buddy from Atlanta, are released on Spotify. And I'm like, getting into the production of it. So yeah,

Warner Vaughan 6:39
Yeah, I've been playing guitar since about, I think my freshman year of high school. So about five years now. I, this is like Kerrington, this is my first time really performing for anybody. Which I think it's been awesome to do, I think the most from the moment I picked up the guitar, I kind of knew I was like, I would love to be in a ban. I would love to play music for other people. And I've been writing songs for as long as I can remember. So potentially having the opportunity to play things that I've wrote for other people has been something super, super cool. And opportunity that I think is really, really awesome to be able to explore.

DJ Ocean Spray 7:19
I've heard that you guys have only really played cover so far. Do you plan on writing your own songs?

William Malone 7:27
No, go ahead. Yeah. So we wanted to start out with covers just to get our to get the ball rolling in the music scene and to just get our footing as a band together. And it's been great. We're picking out our setlist right now. But yeah, eventually or soon we do want to get into making original music Warner and I actually have been starting to track songs just that the two of us have been working on. You know, we always have riffs that we come up with in practice that we flesh out. But yeah, we are very interested in making our music.

DJ Ocean Spray 8:01
So what are your favorite genres or musicians?

Malcolm Douglas 8:06
Funny you asked that today, because Spotify wrapped came out. Do you want to start Kerrington or

Kerrington Barksdale 8:13
yeah, um, so personally, my favorite artists of all time are the Avett Brothers. I love them. Been a really big fan of like folk, indie, that type of vibe, granola music, if you will. And I don't know, I really like how human their sound is. It's really like made it. I think it's made it more comfortable for me performing in the sense that I don't have to sound perfect all the time. And I can still sound human and it sounds good for people to listen to. So they're probably my biggest inspiration and my favorite band ever.

Malcolm Douglas 8:54
Yeah, if I had to name one artists that's really inspired me and my music. I think it has to be a singer songwriter named Mack Ayers. He's been number one on my Spotify rap for a bit now. But he listens to a lot of like Neo Soul and jazz and was really inspired by Stevie Wonder growing up, and that's someone who I also relate to but going from that and writing his own songs, I really have just fallen in love with his sound. And I aspire to try to write my own songs and sound like him.

Grant Hutchison 9:34
I think it's hard for me to pin down a singular artist. But I really appreciate like in the alternative rock scenes, and the sort of high reverb sounds of like surf rock. And some modern artists who I think do that really well are Peach Pit and Ashes to Amber. As a guitar player, it's really cool to see, like riffs that carry like the melody of a song, like that catches your attention and hook you. And that's kind of like what I aspire to be able to create in my own songwriting. So those are the kind of artists I really like.

William Malone 10:09
I like Grant, it's extremely hard for me to pin anything down, I listen to, like pretty much everything. Um, like on the car ride over here, like we shuffled through like some metal I listened to, and like some Shoegaze I listened to. And then like, we just listened to some rock and indie stuff, too. So my favorite bands are probably like Lowes. I'm getting into Wilderado. Um, other people are like Cory Wong and Wunderhorse. So it really just depends on my mood, what I listened to.

Warner Vaughan 10:45
Yeah, I mean, kind of going off that same. It definitely depends on my mood. But I think the one thing that I really, really look for and like a favorite artists of mine is really good storytelling in their songwriting. And I think artists like Noah Kahan and Phoebe Bridgers do a great job of that. And so yeah, I mean, it definitely depends on my mood or my day, how it's been. But I really, really look for good storytelling and songwriting.

DJ Ocean Spray 11:15
How has your own personal music taste influenced what you end up playing as a band? And do you think it like, is very, what you end up playing is very different from the stuff that you find yourself listening to, by yourself, especially considering the fact that you each have your own music tastes and preferences.

Malcolm Douglas 11:40
I think for me, I guess I kind of came into the band last. But I think that what I listened to is actually a lot different than what we play in this band. And at first, I was like, I don't know how I feel about like, if this is the kind of music that I want to be making and playing. But I've really grown to love the indie rock sound that we have as a band. And I've started listening to more of the songs that have kind of inspired our sound. And like the artists that do so as well. So coming from that perspective of listening to a lot of different types of music than what we what we sound like as as a band Juggs. It's been pretty neat to kind of grow into that and appreciate what we're making.

William Malone 12:28
Yeah, I yeah no. Like, I primarily listened to Shoegaze before, you guys really put me on to a lot of cool indie stuff and more granola stuff. But like, we all kind of throw on our own little personal touch into our parts. And I think that makes our sound really cool. And I think that makes like our vibe with each other really cool on stage. Because you know, it might not be a song we'd listen to, personally on our own. But together, we kind of create something that we all like to hear.

Grant Hutchison 12:58
Yeah, I think it's really cool to broaden your own musical horizons through other people's tastes. And when you like, take the time to learn an instrumental piece for a song really well. Especially one that you would not have, like listened to, like on your own. It's, it's cool, because you get you gain a better understanding and appreciation for it

Warner Vaughan 13:16
Yeah, absolutely, and I think us being able to add our own little pizzazz of what we like and what we really, really care about musically into something that will make in the future is going to be something super, super unique for us. And I'm really, really excited personally to see where that goes.

DJ Ocean Spray 13:33
Do you find that you come back to the same artists or songs in all of your shows? Or do you feel like you change it up a lot?

Kerrington Barksdale 13:41
So we have been we've had two gigs so far three gigs so far at Chapel Hill. And so far our main contenders for most repeated songs are Flipturn. So August and Sad Disco by Flipturn. And then we got some Peach Pit in there. We do love Peach Pit. And then of course, The Backseat Lovers, Kilby Girl's, our encore always. But I know there's those are like the main, like Flipturn, Peachpit and then that's I think that's the only two actually that we've had, like, consistently are repetitive songs. Yeah.

Grant Hutchison 14:22
Yeah. I think something that is really important about like, what songs we like to repeat is the kind of emotion that we get back from the audience when we play it. Because I mean, there are songs we picked up that were like, Oh, it wasn't as audience wasn't as receptive to it. So that might change how we want how we feel about wanting to perform it again. But then, when we have a song that everyone is really into and dances and sings along to, it makes us so excited to play at a future gig like my favorite is Freaking Out the Neighborhood by Mac DeMarco. And it's just like so exciting to see everyone get really happy.

Warner Vaughan 14:22
Yeah, I mean, at our last gig, we started playing that song and the crowd immediately started Mosh pitting and it was ridiculous like somebody started crowd surfing. And I was just dying laughing while I was trying to play the song like it was. It was hilarious. And it's just it's great to see that type of energy come from people who come to watch us play music.

Kerrington Barksdale 15:11
Yeah, somebody like picked up a pumpkin and smashed it in front of me. And I was like, whoa, that's good during, during one of the songs, it was one of the end songs, but it was so funny. I was like, oh my god, y'all. This is like a little scary. Like we're only playing indie music. All the other bands that were at this gig were also like, like, indie rock that even indie rock like, emo punk, like rock, like, they were like, yeah, they were like, very, very, like, no, they're like, they're like very like, mosh pit vibe, cover bands, or like, even just like bands, bands in general, like, very mosh pity. And then we come in, and we're like, indie covers, and they're still moshing to our set. Like, it was so fun, it was great.

Malcolm Douglas 15:56
I think part of that is from the audience, at the shows, we have, like, we do a lot of shows with other bands. And they sometimes have different kind of sounds than us. And that's kind of neat as an indie rock band. Because a lot of people at like those, those more metal head Shoegazy, they listen to a lot more hardcore stuff and really love to move and being an indie band that maybe follows their set. It's, there's so much energy from the audience. And we really just love that. But what also is pretty neat is there, you know, we also have some other shows where what people are only coming to see us and they kind of fit the vibe that we're we're going for. And that just is also kind of nice.

DJ Ocean Spray 16:41
How have your concert no, how has your concert experiences, house show or otherwise influenced the way that you like to perform as band?

William Malone 16:54
Well, our first gig what it was just us three, there were a lot less people than the last couple ones. So I don't like we got into it, but it was still just kind of like, more mellow. Yeah, I feel like, but the last two house shows have been like,

Warner Vaughan 17:13
it was crazy.

William Malone 17:14
Yeah. Yeah. Um Yeah.

Kerrington Barksdale 17:17
And I think like, with the, with the vibe that like the house shows have brought like, it's more like, intense in the sense that like, you can really get into the music and like, just like pour your heart out into it. Like if I'm not sweating after even if it's 40 degrees, like I don't want to be playing like, that's how intense it is. And that's how like, energetic the crowd has been. It's been like, the way that the way that I like seeing things now. It's, it's so that they're like, they know what I'm singing like, they know the song they know like that. I'm into it. They know, I'm like excited about it. And it just makes it like the energy like so electric. It's amazing.

Warner Vaughan 17:55
Yeah, for sure. And I think even my energy and I'm sure I can speak for all of us, our energy going into things has shifted, especially Kerrington, Malone, and I, like from the very first gig. I know, we were so nervous, we had two days to prepare. And it was just bare bones. But I think like we got a pretty good response, I'd say from the small crowd that we played for for the first time. And then starting off this year when Grant and Malcolm came in. And we had our first show. The response was something I'd never seen before to like anything that I've ever done for people. And so I think, like, just seeing of such a vibe shift and my nervousness to now, I feel like I could go play in front of anybody. The excitement is so there. And like, it's just, it's unreal.

DJ Ocean Spray 18:14
What would you like to get out of the band or like gain from it personally.

Kerrington Barksdale 18:52
I mean, I personally have always wanted to have a college band. That was like the dream, like ever since I realized I could play music and like, do stuff with it. I was like, oh, I want a college band. I just think like, this specifically. I don't know, y'all are all like, my friends. Oh, sweet. But I'm definitely like, definitely, like, the, like, the vibe of having a set group of people that you can just like go to and you know that it's gonna, like, be fun every single time. Like, it's just gonna be a fun time. But it's also a space where it's like, if we have an issue, we'll talk about it. Like if our like a band is like, I don't like this song. And it's like, well, let's try this and then like, okay, fine, like, Yyeah, let's work through it. Like, let's workshop it. And I guess like, in general, I'm just like, playing for more people. I think personally, like it's a confidence thing. Like I've never had the confidence to sing in front of a lot of people. But now being in a band where I'm singing in front of a lot of people it's really like, changed my view on one my voice to like my ability to sing and perform It's also just like, I want to, I want to produce originals. I feel like that'd be awesome. And really, really fun because it's like, all of our, like, I think Warner said earlier, like, all of our unique aspects of the stuff that we listen to, and the inspiration that we have combined into one thing, and I feel like that would be such a cool thing that would mesh so well, and I just, I really itching, itching for the originals.

Malcolm Douglas 20:26
Yeah, I think a big place that we could go is with the originals. And, and that's a big goal of ours. But also just, you know, more more sounds, you know, we have, we have a lot of different backgrounds and, and things that we listened to, but throwing in our own flavor and spice into songs that we're playing and adding new songs to our set lists and really delving into the music with different audiences. It's, it's a joy for us, and we want to keep doing it.

Grant Hutchison 20:59
I think I'm extraordinarily excited to continue becoming a better musician with other people that are so dedicated to playing music, and getting the opportunity to create music with other people. It's just like, thrilling. But at the same time, I don't want to take for granted how awesome it's been to even just play for a college crowd. Like in that kind of reception to something that you're performing. But you spend so much time practicing and working for it's super validating, and something that I think I'm always gonna like remember.

William Malone 21:36
Yeah, having our audience the Jugg heads, we're calling them. Having our audience react the way they do to stuff we play, it's just so incredible, because there's been so many times where I've been like, I don't think this is gonna work. There's like so much stuff that has to line up perfectly. I'm a little bit pessimistic about it, but yeah, it always comes show time. Even if we mess up. Like our audience, like, even if they hear it, even if they don't, even if I miss something that I missed out. Like, it's just, the reception is always good. And it brings so much energy. And I'm so excited for originals. That is like, my thing. I've been learning how to produce music and mix and master it and that entire field, just so we can all just hit the ground running with it. And I'm just beyond excited to get started.

Warner Vaughan 22:29
Yeah, I mean, that's the thing I'm most excited about. Again, I've been writing songs and lyrics for as long as I can remember. I mean, I remember showing my mom something I wrote when I was like nine. And it was terrible. Of course, it was a nine, but maybe I'll show you. But like, I feel like my songwriting has evolved. And the experiences that I go through, really, really influenced the way that I write. And I'm just really, really excited to see how people will react to that. And I'm really excited to have everybody collaborate on projects like it's, it's, it's just something that I've never been a part of before. And I am super, super passionate about music. I'm super, super passionate about songwriting. And I think being able to do original music is like the dream it really is.

DJ Ocean Spray 23:20
So now that I know a little bit more about the band, I wanted to get into how you guys are hoping to fit into the local music scene at Chapel Hill. And the reason I had wanted to bring a UNC based band in was because I've noticed that there's been quite an uptick in bands forming at UNC. And I know bands like form often and stuff. But I have a lot of friends to go there. And I have seen that, like the Snapchat stories are filled with people looking for bass players, and singers and stuff. Um, and so I was just wondering if like, what made you guys form this band now? Like, was it just like convenience? Like everything finally worked out? Or like, what kind of pushed you guys to start?

Kerrington Barksdale 24:08
Yeah, I think that was like, the main reason is just like we finally got, like a good lead guitar and bassist that like really solidified the fact that like this could be possible. And it could be something that we like could work on and have. But within like the local Chapel Hill scene, just like being a band that like, people enjoy. And like, if, like I'm in St. Anthony Hall, as well as Malone, we're both siblings there. And having like, that space, it's like if y'all need somebody to perform like we're there. Like, it's basically just like if anybody wants to like call us up and be like, Yo, do you want this game were like, Yeah, for sure. Like most of the gigs we've had have not really and truly been paid. I think there was one that was been paid but like our gigs are just like if we want to play and if you want somebody to play live music like, we'd be happy to. At least that's what I want to curate the vibe of this band to be like, it's just like, if you need somebody to play, we got you come talk to us. Yeah

Warner Vaughan 24:08
Yeah, yeah,

Malcolm Douglas 24:49
I think the Chapel Hill music scene, I mean, I'm, this is my first semester in Chapel Hill, like I'm, I'm a baby there, you know what I'm saying. But I just, this is my first semester, and I kind of just came into the music scene, wanting to play with new people, and see what it was all about. And I think that Juggs has really, you know, everyone here in the band has really welcomed me. But you mentioned bass players and how people always want bass players. And that's I can attest to that. That's absolutely true. I mean, everyone wants a bass player. Because a lot of people have, you know, songs or ideas and guitar players, and you know, that the full band sound needs that lower end. And I think that it's just been a lot of fun to meet everyone here. But also with where we want to go, I mean, just keep playing our music and, and making sure that, you know, Chapel Hill has has that has that solid music scene.

Warner Vaughan 26:12
Yeah, I mean, and I've seen, I feel like we've we're gonna start doing or our next couple of gigs, at least are with other bands in Chapel Hill. So it's not just us performing. For a crowd of people, it's three or four different Chapel Hill bands playing. And I know that our last gig was with a few different people. And I think that the, the band scene in general, it's not, it's competitive, but it's also very, very supportive. So I know that, like, we'll watch the other people who are playing at the same gig as us. And we'll cheer them on, and we'll support them. And they'll do the same for us. And it's very, like, it's very loving and very supportive. But also, it's, it can be a very challenging environment as well, which I think is really cool.

Grant Hutchison 27:00
I think that maybe in comparison, NC State when I got to Chapel Hill, I wasn't sure if the local band scene was as strong. And I came in without, like an expectation. I just wanted to meet people and play music. So I mean, it's so cool that I got to hit the ground running with like, super dedicated, awesome people. But I think that people love live music at the end of the day, especially in college, it's so cool to see other people your age go up there and play songs that you like. So it's not really a surprise to me that in a vacuum, like plenty of bands are gonna form.

DJ Ocean Spray 27:33
So what well established local bands do you feel like you align with the most like think My Sister Maura, Juniper Street, Late Notice,

Warner Vaughan 27:44
I feel like Late Notice is probably one that we, we kind of found our sound from. They play great music. I had a couple of friends, I unfortunately couldn't go see them at Cat's Cradle about a month ago, but I had a few friends of mine, go see them. And I know that their sound has changed quite a bit from when they started. But it still is so so awesome. And I'm really really sad to see that they're breaking up as a band. But I know that they have been super, super awesome. And I think that we've we sound I would say similar.

William Malone 28:18
It's the it's, it's a good question to ask because the bands we're playing with and our next two gigs, their sound is like Malcolm said, it's a bit more hardcore than our set. And yet, like the people there and like, like I believe at our last gig, they were the ones that like brought the energy a bit when we started playing. So like, it's just cool to see that even though our sounds are very different, like personality wise and support wise, we are all very aligned and very here for each other.

Grant Hutchison 28:50
Local band wise, like Warner said Late Notice is really awesome. Also Harvey Street. I think it's so cool to see like the kind of choreography they do on stage like the showmanship, that's something that I definitely want to do more of in our future shows as we get more and more confident and comfortable with everything we play. It's so cool, because it kind of feeds back into the audience. The audience loves it when you have like a back and forth report with them. So I love both those bands.

DJ Ocean Spray 29:17
So do you have a lot of friends who are also on bands or know a lot of people who are in college bands?

Kerrington Barksdale 29:23
Yes. Short answer. Yes. Um, there are a good bit of people that well, bluegrass bands. I know a lot of people in bluegrass involved in that with Chapel Hill just in general. But then like some people in bluegrass bands are also in other bands that like play gigs at houses and things of that nature. So just like the music scene at Chapel Hill is like so crazy connected, and it's just like you can be in like four different things at once. And it's still be like, manageable and like, just as far as if you're in one like musical thing. Yeah,

Malcolm Douglas 29:57
I think that speaks to the collaborative nature of the scene in Chapel Hill, like, we have so many friends that are in other bands. And we love having shows with multiple bands. And it's just nice to have that supportive environment, especially as a newer band just trying to get into the scene with other bands that we can have shows with and learn from, and also just have a good time with. I mean, I think that we've all found people in the music scene, even if they have different sounds that we really enjoy spending time with.

DJ Ocean Spray 30:29
So your next show is going to be at quite a larger venue than your previous shows. Are you guys excited? or nervous?

Kerrington Barksdale 30:37
Yes. So is that it's Local 506 on Franklin Street. And like, it's like a $10 cover or something like that. Like, that's, that's crazy for us. Like, I've I got the like the text from one of the other bands, that was organizing it. And they're like, oh, yeah, it's at Local 506. I was like, Local 506. What like that is crazy. Like, we're a brand new band, considering the fact that we've only been here this semester. Like, the fact that we're already at that level is wild to me, like it's just so, so cool. And I'm so excited. Like, I cannot wait because it's not just going to be like the Chapel Hill students there. It's like, open to everybody, like everybody can come. So it's going to be like, people in like the Chapel Hill community like State, probably, I don't know, maybe just like, the general area of like anybody that can access Local 506, which is so cool.

Warner Vaughan 31:31
Yeah. And I mean, I'm so excited to see how that non college audience reacts to the stuff that we play. I think that'll be super cool. And I just I remember getting the text from Kerrington that Oh, our next gig is actually at Local 506. That's so awesome. I flipped out. I thought it was so awesome. I ran around my house telling all my roommates I was like, you're never gonna guess where we're playing next. So I'm just I'm so pumped and I just can't wait.

Malcolm Douglas 31:54
Just being on Franklin Street to like, that's, that's, that's where everything is in Chapel Hill. That's the strip. Like that's, I mean, like, really, it's, it's, it's super exciting to know that we'll, we'll be playing at this gig here. And it's not just a house show deep in Chapel Hill, or at a frat house like this is a real real venue. And I'm trying to convince my friends to pay the $10 cover fee. It's a lot more expensive than our last shows. So.
