A replay of Peaches Pit Party which you can hear on KBEAR 101 weekday afternoons 2pm - 7pm MST
The Artist Interrogations podcast. KBEAR 101, a very special guest in studio, Patrick of Ice Nine Kills. What's up, peaches? How's it going? I'm doing good, man.
Yeah. I forgot to tell you that my last name is Peach, so my nickname is Peaches. I I when I received your contact, I was like, I wonder what this guy's gonna look like. And it was, a little different than what I thought Peaches was gonna look like. There was a band that gave me a shirt, because I was, like, the 1st DJ to play their song on the air, and they thought I was a woman.
So they sent me a female XL shirt. Well, I told you in the in the car, in the way here, that, like, we're very excited for this whole whole show. Yeah. I mean, there's people already lined up outside the Mountain America Center. You know, last night, I told you we got we had Volbeat and Hailstorm tonight.
We got you guys falling in reverse, our last night, catch your breath, 4 amazing bands. And I remember seeing you guys in Salt Lake City as part of the Trinity of Terror show. Sure. And that was, like, my first time in a major pit. And I'm the guy that's, like, I'm a big dude, but he's You seem to be you could be the enforcer in any Yeah.
See, I don't want any pit around me. I'm, like, I got pushed from behind. I'm like, I'm out of here. I'm like that weak. But, yeah, dude, we're excited to have you here.
I mean I mean, just last week, I was traveling all around the area to get people to download our app and then get an entry in for that meet and greet with ice 9 kills. Yeah. And there's been so many people at every single stop that have said, like, like, I've met them before, I've met them before. Like, do you guys just hang out after shows of people or what? I mean, we've definitely been known to, to hang out a little bit, but I think I think more more so back in, you know, back in the earlier days of touring and, you know, with with Warp Tour and, you know, different styles of meet and greets when we were kind of, you know, on the, you know, smaller size of our band.
It's much easier to be able to just get groups of people together and hang out and take pictures and do meet and greets that are a little more involved and a little more intimate. Nowadays, especially after COVID, the Trinity of Territory, that meet and greet was all 3 bands on stage and the 150 people in meet and greet on the floor trying to interact and trying to have a conversation and it was kind of you know, it kind of added a little bit of separation that we weren't used to because we are very used to being a little more hands on and like being able to interact with people. And so I think that between like Warped Tour and and some of the headliners that we've done, we had the opportunity to really you know, get to know people and get to know our fans and coming back from from COVID and doing this, the trinity of territory, we're kind of back into that mode now where our VIP experience is, you know, you get a photo op with us 1 on one time, you get to come in, you know, we get to compliment you on your makeup because everybody's wearing makeup and all these things, it's Halloween.
I got mine, my bad. It's Halloween every day, if you don't have a costume you're missing out, and and, you know, you get to have that one on one time with people again that we that we missed out on in the past couple years. So, you know, people saying that they met us before, it was probably because it was just cool for us to just hang out, you know. Yeah. I mean, your guys' fan base is just as crazy as Motionless and White's fan base.
I would say so. Yeah. I mean, I think that they're cut of the same cloth. Yeah. I think the the cult like following that both bands have, is very strong and apparent, and I think, like, you know, the the the dark, like, Halloween side of everything and people dressing up and kind of, you know, the the the groups that start online and, you know, we have our own social media app called the Psychos Only app that gets a lot of people involved with each other that, you know, we've been getting a bunch of people coming to meet and greets that have made us, you know, friendship bracelets or like fun bracelets, and I guess that's something that that spawned from the psychos only app where one person posted that they were gonna make us bracelets and then a bunch of other people around the states were like, oh, we're gonna do it too, and now we all have like these collection of horror themed bracelets from all of our fans, and it's it's just so it's just so cool to see, to see something like this bring so many people together.
I was just about to ask you, do you have a giant collection of things that fans have sent you or brought you? Yeah. Yeah. There's there were tours, I mean tours where Spencer would be sending home boxes of things from from the road just because like, you know, you you go on tour with such a, I like to think that I pack very smart, and I pack very minimally for a tour, and getting given things, and like given little gifts, and and, you know, t shirts, or this, this, and this. It's like I'm leaving tour with more than I brought, so like I have to be able to, sometimes we just have to ship stuff home before the tour even ends so that we have room for stuff.
You're totally lucky because you have the smaller clothes. For me, if I pack a pair of shoes, it takes up half my suitcase. But, I mean, yeah, we've gotten cool stuff. I cannot imagine. Yeah.
Looking around. Yeah. It's it's it's been crazy how many cool things we've had built over the years in this studio, but, I mean, I can only imagine what you got your guys' place looks like. Yeah. It's it's it's fun.
I think we each have, you know, our own individualized gifts that are given to us too that kind of have a bit of, you know, mantle space in each of our space in each of our apartments or whatever, you know? Yeah. And I know on the bus, dude, those bunks have to be claustrophobic. Right? Well, if you are claustrophobic, I think that sleeping in a bus bunk would definitely get to you.
I don't think any of us are, luckily. But at some point, you kinda just turn the light off, close your curtain It's like the same thing. All you see is black. And you just let the bus lull you to sleep. You know what I mean?
Like, you don't really have time to be, to, like, get anxious or scared about it because you know you gotta get to the next venue. So That's been one of my weird questions is that, like, I don't know how people or how bands tour altogether in those bunks or even bands like, what was it, like Slipknot? Isn't Jim Root, like, 6 foot 6? Yeah. Peter Steele was 6 8?
They gotta have, like, custom made, like, we call them condo bunks that kind of makes, you know, instead of having bunks that are 3 high, you get, you know, maybe 2 high or or like one that's big and one that's small on top, something like that. Yeah. It is crazy when people think of how, like, you know, glamorous and how awesome touring is, and what they don't realize is that you live in a mobile home with 13 other people most of the time, you know, like our crew, you know, we have a, you know, we had 2 buses on this tour. One one for the band, which is like 6 of us on tour right now, plus our tour manager and a photographer, so that's 8 on 1 bus, and then our crew bus has 12 bunks on it, and it's like, you don't really have as much privacy as you think you might get or something like that and, you know, it is kind of that, it's not the glamour is kind of gone when you were in the room. Right.
Well, I can't can't really move in here, you know. I kinda just like sneaking by people, like Yeah. You know, like sucked in. Midnight snack run, you're like, I can't go to the kitchen. There's somebody in the way.
Exactly. Somebody's air frying a bunch of tofu. I was around here, dude. Somebody cooked fish here recently and has smelt up the whole building. Oh, dude.
I did a tour in the in Europe, one of my first tours in Europe with my old band, Defiance, and we had a driver that was driving our van that decided one day to cook fish on the engine block while we were doing a drive. Oh, on the engine block? Yeah. So we just wrapped up a bunch of fish and tin foil, put it on the engine block, and we drove like 3 hours to the next show, and the van just reeked of fish. Oh, no.
We got there. The fish was cooked. Okay. Well He ate he ate it. Oh, my goodness.
You better eat it. You did all this work. You better eat that. Ours is worse because some lady put it in the microwave. Oh, yeah.
Fish in a microwave just sounds awful. Yeah. And our former engineer put the pizza in the toaster and burnt the cheese, and it's always fun. It provides on air content, for sure. I think you guys need a little lesson on how to cook the pizza in the kitchen there.
I was that one guy at one point that put tin foil on the microwave back, so then I saw a spark of, oh, nope. But yeah. Dude, well, I mean, we gotta get you back to the the stadium here soon. Yeah. Sure.
What I mean, whatever you got. Yeah, dude. I'm just very excited for the show tonight. I know people have been talking about it relentlessly. I mean That's awesome.
I'm glad to hear that. It just seems like, you know, like I said, told you in the car, a place that maybe we haven't, you know, we haven't been to this side of the state or, you know, this area. You know, Boise is usually where bands go, and we were in that area yesterday, and seeing all the fans there, I think it kind of justifies doing, you know, a show that's, you know, close, but, you know, I think you're gonna get 2 different crowds from these 2 two shows in the same state. So Right. Yeah.
They're excited to see the, to see who comes out. Boise has the more bigger city, but East Idaho, I think, has been neglected for a very long time. They're all hungry for it. Yeah. They're they've been wanting it.
They're they're hungry for this show because usually they'll we'll travel to Salt Lake City. We'll travel to Boise. We'll travel sometimes even to, like, Missoula or Bozeman or whatever Montana City up north, But to have a show right here in East Idaho is phenomenal. Very glad to hear that. That's awesome.
And I know you guys put on one heck of a show because it's it's so theatrical. It's so cool. Yeah. It's gonna be it's gonna be killer. Oh, there we go.
That well, might as well just end it on that. Just it's gonna be killer. Then thank you, of course, pack Patrick, for joining Peach's Pit Party. Isn't it a great radio show name? Dude, Peach's Pit Party is it's pretty good.
Yeah. You just you hear that show name, and you're like, there has to be some sort of, like, woman behind the microphone. There's a giant fat dude just behind the mic like you would not expect it whatsoever. But, we'll we'll hit our way head on our way to the, venue. I'll be at the, Teton falling in reverse pre party.
Teton auto credit falling in reverse pre party, and you gotta get ready for the show, I assume. Yeah, man. I've we've got, we've got, like I said, our VIP to look forward to before the show and then, you know, it's a quick dinner and then start getting the tuxedo on, you know. There we go.
