” Thanks for being here, guys.
Thank you for having us, it's a So, Alister, tell us, how did Jupiter Troupe come toge What's the story?
We, the three of us, went to hig together, graduated high school.
Me, Sebastian, Tatisaya and Dillon, our bass player.
So we graduated from Nova High S down in in Davie, Florida.
Shout out to the Titans.
I think when we were juniors, these guys were friends before I They did a talent show together and I was kind of just getting i So the next year I kinda started trying to hang out with them and eventually they decided I was cool enough to hang and they had me out to jam and the next thing we knew we we So that was probably like ten, e twelve years ago.
And the musical influences that brought you guys together?
In those days, in the early days the, the, the like root, the foundation of what brought u was definitely Red Hot Chili Pep Pink Floyd, who I was introduced to by Tatis and you know I fell in love with, and Radiohead for sure.
Before I joined, these guys were to Radiohead all the time.
That was kind of the, you know, the guiding force to t That was kind of the textbook.
And the music that keeps you guys together?
That's a that's a great question I mean, I think we've all got a really s appreciation of funk and soul mu and just jam music in general.
I think in recent years we were up here we went and saw Ghost-Note up at and I mean, that was a kind of a changing experience for all of us in this group.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, just, you know, just goo celebration music, you know, music about feeling go and about being yourself.
I don't know.
It's kind of what keeps us together, All right, well, let's hear more This is “Gate M ” from Jupiter Troupe on WUFT Amplified.
Well I'm sure it's not just me that's been living life expecting my day to come.
At the same time, I'm trying to do the best I can with what I got going on.
You can't sit back and listen to and just expect that the words will come.
But there's got to be some communication before we finally get the job done.
No don't break down, don't give up now, there's only one wa You ain't going to find an easy and I ain't gonna let you go.
So come on.
I said it.
Oh, yeah.

I'm confident the big picture makes it clear what the conflict is all about.
And I understand where you're co but I do believe we're going to be just fine.
But there's much work to do if we're hoping to succeed on the other side.
I know we will.
Oh yeah.
No, don't break down, don't give there's only one way to go.
You ain't gonna find an easy way and I ain't going to let you go.
