Like in the near future, I'd love for us to do like a few normal rock shows, then like a night off like at a bowling alley where we just do like country songs and sneak some of our own country songs into the set.
So that's what those are to me.
But we've never discussed this, so they could mean completely different things to the other members.
No, I think we're all thinking that.
We tried to play this bar called The Thirsty Beaver in Charlotte, but they're closed on, what was our day off on Tuesdays?
It was on Monday.
It was closed on Mondays.
And that would be like the thing, it's just this legendary little bar.
This guy wouldn't sell.
There's just like these giant condos all around.
[Member] It's like the house from "Up."
-[Member] Yeah.
-Yeah, it's amazing.
The last time we were there I was like, "Can I put a sticker up at the bar?"
And they're like, "You have to play here to put the sticker up."
I was like, "Ah, okay."
Well, maybe we'll make it happen someday.
But we were there on a Monday.
But that would be the scheme is to play those quiet songs.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Sneak a few of our all country numbers -into our cover set.
-I don't know, a Hank Williams song, Cindy Williams song, call it a day.
Yeah.
[Interviewer] Stay behind the (indistinct) one.
-Exactly, exactly.
-Yeah, yeah.
I think, you know, we very much explore like the duality of Cloakroom, you know, to be able to like exist in these two different, like, you know, two different planes of existence.
You know, we can be like the loud stoner rock band, but then we can also be a country band and everything in between.
