Ben chats with me about the band and music in general

Parx-e: so i will begin now with the question how did the band form?

thirdtimelucky: ok, Me,(ben) James and Matt went to school together....

thirdtimelucky: in year 10 we decided we wanted to start a band but we didn’t have a bass player

thirdtimelucky: so they got Fritz, who they played tennis with at the local club, to learn to play bass

thirdtimelucky: we asked him because we got along with him pretty well

thirdtimelucky: he actually left the band for a bit, but he kept learning, so enventually he came back

thirdtimelucky: and we been together ever since

Parx-e: that is pretty good

thirdtimelucky: we are like brothers, the 4 of us

Parx-e: been playing many gigs lately?

Parx-e: that is allways good

thirdtimelucky: umm, not for the last 2 weeks or so

thirdtimelucky: cause we all been busyer than normal

thirdtimelucky: but we got some good gigs coming up

thirdtimelucky: and we been writing some killer new songs in the meantime

Parx-e: sweet i have to ask about the pic of the chick on your mp3.com.au site

thirdtimelucky: yeah, that's the e.p. cover

thirdtimelucky: -playing tennis

Parx-e: ah was wondering about that

thirdtimelucky: but the e.p. is called greatest hits

thirdtimelucky: even tho it’s our first

Parx-e: good choice of a name

thirdtimelucky: heh heh

Parx-e: so what have you been listening to
thirdtimelucky: umm myself i've been listening to stuff like the alkaline trio and saves the day

Parx-e: alkaline trio are good

thirdtimelucky: and the usual like sum 41 and all the old favorites like bodyjar and RBF and NFAA

Parx-e: bodyjar and real big fish are great bands

thirdtimelucky: ok the next we are playing is called Charged at cleveland community hall and i only know that the Headlining band is No Prior Knowledge

Parx-e: so how can people get a hold of your ep

thirdtimelucky: Seeing us at gigs at the moment, at the merch stand

Parx-e: ah sweet

Parx-e: what the scene like up in brisbane

thirdtimelucky: and on the 1t of nov, we are playing a small festival at the Morayfield Soundshell - the lineup is yet to be finalised

Parx-e: so you got plenty of gigs lined up then

thirdtimelucky: It';s good, there are tons of great bands and a fair few decent local venues

thirdtimelucky: yeah they sort of trickle in over time

Parx-e: what else is lined up for the band

thirdtimelucky: At the moment we are just trying to build up a profile for the band.....

Parx-e: yeah

thirdtimelucky: and we would love to do another recording but that is hard without alot of money.....

Parx-e: yeah money is always a plus

thirdtimelucky: but basically we are trying to get people to notice us more

thirdtimelucky: by playing as many decent sized gigs as we can

thirdtimelucky: we have seen other bands who are friends of ours do really well for themselves, so we know we can do it

Parx-e: if yah push yourself you can do it

thirdtimelucky: yeah

We chat about mp3.com.au and how it has helped them get expose and emails from people in the usa.

Parx-e: any chance of coming down to melbourne

thirdtimelucky: ooooh, man i'd love to but unless some decent band invites us to tour with them down there i don’t really see it happenning very soon

Parx-e: yeah

thirdtimelucky: but that would be cool indeed

Parx-e: yes

thirdtimelucky: everything comes down to the cash

Parx-e: cos I don't think I will be going to brisbane anytime soon

thirdtimelucky: yeah

Parx-e: yeah cash we all need it

Parx-e: if you could have a 3 band bill who would be on that list including yourselves

thirdtimelucky: hmmm.. you mean out of other local brissie bands

Parx-e: any bands

thirdtimelucky: Oh, um. hmmmm

thirdtimelucky: For me, it be New found Glory. Millencolin and No Fun At All

thirdtimelucky: oh wait you said 3

thirdtimelucky: oops

Parx-e: that is three

thirdtimelucky: but including us is four

thirdtimelucky: anyway

Parx-e: so when did you get into punk

thirdtimelucky: i mean when your just jamming and it all sounds really awesome nothing else matters for that short period of time caus all your thinking of is what you wanna play next and how you want it to sound

Parx-e: yeah

thirdtimelucky: i got into punk mainly when i met fritz, because i didn't actually listen to that much punk

thirdtimelucky: he introduced me to bands like millencolin and bodyjar

thirdtimelucky: but i have always been really into all sorts of music

thirdtimelucky: i mean even stuff you would never expect

Parx-e: yeah so what would be the most dodgiest cd we would fine in your collection

thirdtimelucky: like dance cd's and jazz stuff not that there is ANYTHING wrong with jazz

Parx-e: yeah I don't mind jazz

thirdtimelucky: the other guys in the band aren't quite as accepting as me of other types of music

Parx-e: thanks for yah time dude any last words

thirdtimelucky: um well just that i reckon there are so many small local bands out there that i reckon deserve alot more publicity

thirdtimelucky: and we need to all help each other out
