a catalog of original music with a classic sound. The young band from Milwaukee has just

released a live album called circuit breakers. And this alternative blues rock band fuses

old school with the new times here in the studio to perform live in the layer is rogue

electric. Guys, welcome to Maxing radio. Happy to be here, guys. Happy to have you. How

was your exploration of state street during monsoon weather here in Madison? Oh, we had

a good time. We went out and we were going to watch some shows down at the terrace and then

we saw the storm coming in. So we ran back over here before it blew us out. But yeah,

it was good. We got a Madison expert here in the band. Our other guitar player Kyle

Starr. He went here. So he he showed us around today. We had a good time out here for

job, Carl. And I already you right into Katner Hurricane. Yeah, we saw them. They did not

start playing and then we left. Yeah. But yes, we were down there to check out the terrace

and Kyle. He's he's played on that stage and scene shows on that stage. So he he was

showing us around. I'm sure your trip to the terrace makes you want to say, Hey, I want

to play the terrace. Yeah. Yeah. That's exactly what we came out of it. Yeah. That is it's

one of my favorite places to play in the world. No better place than the memorial union

terrace. The rogue electrics. We are speaking with vocalist Kyle Rogan. Kyle, the band is

inspired by your family's electrician business. Rogan electric. Tell us the story behind

the band name. Yeah. So my dad, my grandpa, they were electricians. I did not learn my family

trade. So, you know, my grandpa started his own electrician business after he worked

for P&H, a classic Milwaukee company for many years. He became an electrician. He taught

my dad's and my uncle's how to do it. And they like could wire up a whole house like they

wired up our house of bill. I didn't get that. Like I didn't follow in those footsteps. But like,

to me, my dad showed me a lot of rock music. And that was my way that I could kind of carry on

the family legacy. So the name came from. So our name is actually pronounced Rogan. So it's like

rogue. So I got rogue electrics like rogue on electrics. But it's the rogue electrics is the

band name. So what was your dad's reaction when he found out that's that's the name of the band?

Oh, they thought it was really cool because we actually took how I came up with our logo is I

took a picture of the jackets they used to wear on the job. So like it had this like old school

kind of calligraphy font that said Rogan electric. I took that to our friend Monica who does our

graphics. And I said, can you make the rogue electrics with this font? So if you see our logo,

it's actually based on the font that was on those electrician jackets. You're not an electrician,

but you play an electric guitar. Right. So there's the parallel. Right. And that's where it came from.

I was like, this is going to work. This will be a cool thing. You know, it works out perfectly.

You know, we'll get to know about your bands in just a couple of your bandmates and just a

couple of minutes, but tell us about the band itself, the journey of the band to this point. What

have you guys been through to get where you are today? I mean, we've been through a lot to be honest.

I started this way back in probably 2016. We started rehearsing with some people and none of

those people are here now, you know, everyone kind of that was in the band had to leave for their

own reasons. But I think we really with this new lineup we added, you know, Nick, Kyle and Mike

really brought this thing to another level. Like I don't think we'd be here talking to you

necessarily. We kind of just started out doing it for fun. But then we started to get more

serious. We wanted to make records. So we were writing all these original songs and I was like,

well, yeah, like let's try to build a catalog of music and see what happens and

make a record to kind of figure out who we are. And that was our first album and Kyle Stair

helped produce it. And our guitar player at the time left and he jumped into the band from there.

And then we started getting these other guys in, you know, as members had to leave for

different life reasons, you know, everyone that was in wanted to be in there. But

so you were the only constant. Yes. I have been the one from the beginning. But these guys,

I mean, Nick's been around since our first album release. He came in to replace our bass player

that left. So, you know, it'll be interesting to hear him kind of talk about his upbringing and

what he thought was cool about the band and one of the songs that we played tonight. I remember

him saying, I heard that song and that's what made me want to be in the band. So it was good. And

then Mike, we played a lot of gigs with his previous band, the Zimmer effect in the Milwaukee scene.

So when our longtime drummer Adam left to go to the army, he was just a perfect fill in the timing

worked out. And he's been great to kind of drive home our live show. As far as songwriting,

are you are you doing all the songwriting then? And then do you present something to the band?

It used to be that way. But it's really evolving now. Like in rehearsal, like the past couple

months, we've been trying to write more together. So we're going to play two songs tonight that

we've basically come up with all together. Everyone has written parts for it. And in the past,

that wasn't the case. So it's awesome to kind of write with these guys because they have a lot of

good ideas and they make my ideas better. It's a collaboration. But let's get to live music in the

layer with the roguelector. It's presented by the Aaron Weber group. The first song that you

have for us tonight is called Carry Your Weight. Is this a song about being dragged down by the stone?

I wouldn't think so. I would say it's more about like working hard for other people. And like,

you know, seeing, seeing what it's like when people don't want to pull their weight. And,

you know, as a band, you got to work hard together to come up with something that's kind

of bigger than just an individual person. So it was me kind of trying to be like, okay, like,

we got to work together. You know, sometimes we're going to have to put a weight on our back and

and carry it. And that's how it is when you're kind of doing an original music in a place where

it's hard to do it. And, you know, it came from that. And as a parent now, I kind of think of that

with my daughter. It's like, you know, carry me, dad. It's like, yes, like I'm going to, I'm going to

carry you. I'm not going to say no to this. You know, there, there are people who will. But

I'm going to help you. I'm going to carry you if I need to, even if it's hard work for me.

So, wow. Interesting. Awesome. We're live in the layer broadcasting live from the WMD

take it out, it's fine, and try to draw the line, I'm gonna cross it this time,

That's what they say, I won't move that way, this life is mine, the ancient drop light, I'm gonna cross it

That's what they say, I won't move that way

Wow, we live in a lair with the Rogue Electrics here on Maxine Crudio, 844-967-2789, 844-965

If you want to call and ask some questions for the rock and rollers of the Rogue Electric

All right, Jimmy, we are here with Kyle Rogan, and let's get to know the band a little bit

Let's start with Kyle, a singer and multi-instrumentalist, what is your backstory?

How did you become involved with music?

Yeah, I think the biggest thing for me is I had a lot of influences in my family and friends that inspired me to do it

And I think the biggest thing was on top of those influences, I always felt like I was different in school

People would be like, this is what's popular, this is the music I'm listening to

And I never really identified with that at all

And what I identified more with was like my dad's records and my friends' dad's records

And my cousin who was into all this rock stuff and they would give me this music

And I would just absorb it like a sponge

Who are some of the bands?

I mean, I can almost gasp, please tell me

Oh, I mean, anything, my dad took me to Ted Nugent when I was two

Okay

So it started out with that, I don't remember it, but it did happen

I did get him to confirm it last week as I've been telling the story

But he planted that seed early, and I mean, he used to have the sticks cassette in our van

Driving our family around, so we listened to Come Sail Away, Blue Color Man, Pieces of Eight

That stuff, Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Petty, you know, Deep Purple, all that kind of stuff

They would have, and we'd listen to that, and I was like, ACDC, you know

All the kind of hard blues rock stuff is what my dad and my friends' dad listened to

And they just, like, oh, you're into this, and they just started

You know, spoon feeding me in

Personally, I'm not a musician, but you know, this particular friend who used to go visit all the time

They had this great vinyl collection, you know, I found the Zeppelin, the Hendrix, the Joplin, Neil Young

I was looked for life, you know

Yup, and I had that experience, and that's what kind of made me want to do it

Is like, I'm different, this is what I like, I want to do something with this

And especially at that age, experiencing something like that rocker on vinyl

Watching it go around and making the noise

That's why, that's my love for vinyl right there

Do you mean those vinyl? Were your parents musicians at all?

My mom played piano a little bit

Like she could sight-read music, like, play classical pieces

Like I remember as a kid, she got this piano that I have in my studio now

Like an ADA key, and she would put the music up, and she could play like, you know, a classical piece

So she put me in piano lessons, if it weren't for that

I wouldn't have been able to do this, so I'm very grateful to her for doing that

At the time, I didn't want to do it, I was like, you know, in third grade

I wasn't into music at that time, but when I did get into music

I did it long enough that I had the skills to at least start trying

Did you participate like band, band choir, and you like that in school?

Yeah, I played trombone

I did that, we got another former trombone player here, Nick played trombone too

So yeah, we played in the band a little bit, but yeah, when I was in the band in high school

I wasn't really into it, I wanted to do more of the rock band thing

But I did it, and I learned, and I played, you know, I had a trombone to take some lessons

Any ideas about maybe inserting some brass into the rogue electrics?

I mean, if the song calls for it

Nope, nope, we won't do it

We won't do Scott

We won't do Scott

Oh, Jimmy's bumming

I don't know, we can be friends anymore

We used to have a sax player, my buddy played sax

And that was cool, like that worked for like kind of the 70s vibe that we had

So I wouldn't hate sax on a song here there, but yeah, it depends

I mean, I used to play the guy who played sax, it was a good time

And his dad was one of the ones spoon feeding me the music

Well now you play guitar, and you also play keyboards in this band, and you play trombone

What else do you play?

Nothing really

That's it, we got the list

I mean, I have stuff that I mess around with, but no, like the most proficient I am is on like the blues keyboard

organ leads and doing the rhythm guitar singing thing

So that's my main thing, but it's still like

We don't have the keys here tonight, but when we play our full live show

I got keys up there, I'm doing guitar, I'm singing

It's a lot to do on stage at one time, it's very like Getty Lee

But it's a challenge every night to play, because it keeps you going

You're jumping around

Loading and tarot must be a pain

Yeah, I have a lot of stuff

You basically loaded now for two positions, you know

Not the usual lead singer

The road, the road electric is on a mission to create a catalog of music

And your debut album Between Black and White relates to the formative years of the band

And the album became a symbol for adversity and perseverance

Talk about that

Yeah, so I kind of mentioned it earlier how we like basically turned over the whole band during that process

But that album was really us figuring out what our influences are and who we wanted to be

We tried a lot of different stuff on that album, we did like some alt rocks, some 70s rocks, some, you know

More laid back, ballad-y stuff

So like we were really trying to figure out what kind of stuff we wanted to do

We kind of started getting more excited about the heavy blues rock stuff going in that direction

So that helped us formulate our sound

But a lot of the guys, either life-wise, couldn't commit to doing the full record

Or, you know, had some things change in their life where they had to leave

So, you know, the band had to kind of turn itself over

And Kyle Stair was going to produce it, he wasn't in the band at that time

But our guitar player left and he was there and like, Kyle

I know you know what to do, pick that guitar up, let's go

And Nick came in and Mike eventually, so yeah, it was a process where we had to figure ourselves out

And, you know, move forward to something better

Now, let's get back to some live music in the layer with the rogue electrics presented by the Aaron Weber group

The next song you have for us tonight, it's called yesterday's news

Is this a song about unresolved issues or finding solutions?

I think it's more finding solutions

I try to be pretty positive in my songwriting

Yesterday's news is kind of about how people forget about problems

Like, it's like every day we're on this 24 hour news cycle

And we move on and we don't follow up

But like for me, it's like, okay, like people are struggling at times

Like, how can we lift each other up and do something good to not forget that

And try to move forward and be better and enjoy life more

You know, it's a great celebration of that

It's a great message for sure

The rogue electrics are live in the layer

Outstanding, Mexican civic media live in the layer with the rogue electric's yesterday news

Let's get Carl Stere on the microphone here, Carl, come on over here, Kyle

Kyle Stere, lead guitarist, record producer

Tell us your backstory, how did you get involved in music?

Oh, I suppose I've pretty much always been surrounded by it

As far as I understand, my parents more or less met

Working at the same record store in Walkie Show

Was you probably familiar with mainstream?

Oh, yes, of course

And my dad was in bands when I was young

So I would tag along with him to band practice and stuff

So I was always drawn to guitar sounds

Like songs would pull me in based on the sound of the guitar

You know, more so than anything else

I suppose it was just kind of an inevitability that I'd come to this place

I would imagine you also have a big classic rock background in the type of music

I mean, just with the way you do your guitar solo, play guitar

It has that classic rock feel to it, you know?

I suppose I think I lean into it with this group

I think that's what fits, but I think my background was, in terms of lead guitar playing

Was written in blues, really

Okay

I was a big Steve Ray Von guy, you know, Jimmy Hendrix has stuff

So I mean, there's definitely overlap with classic rock

Sure

But, so

But

Nice, well, and so, that's perfect

It sounds good, what do you do as a record producer?

I mean, do you work for other bands just yourself?

I mean

It's not something I do for a living or anything, I mean, it's just kind of like a hobby I've gotten into

So, I mean, I've been recording for, you know, a long time

But I think my first recording device was a four track cassette, you know, like one of the cast cam

Oh yeah

Saying so, did that, did the...

Bouncing tracks

Yeah

Besides your band, have you produced any other bands that you want to mention?

Uh, not...no

Not specifically

Alright, so let's go back to your dad, what bands did your dad play in?

Um, he was...

Back in the day

He was in cover bands in there, I was actually in a cover band with him previous to this band called Serious Trouble

Okay

We played for about, I think, seven years mostly in the Milwaukee area

Mostly blues, but we did a lot of classic rock in that band, I mean, we did Zeppelin Stones, you know, Steve Ray Von, Jimmy Hendrix

Had to be fun to play with your dad on the stage

Yeah, that was cool for sure

Um, it's kind of...

Like, I've, you know, the music's always been around me and that's...

It wasn't ever forced on me or anything, but it was just there, so...

Is he still playing?

Yeah, he's actually playing tonight, so...

Oh really?

Alright

The old man's out there playing

Well, very good, you know, tell us about your second studio album Strangers in the Moment

That was recorded during the peak of the COVID pandemic in 2020

And tell us a little bit about that album

Um, I mean, that...

The interesting thing was that our previous drummer Adam had a pretty big hand in kind of the direction and the overall sound of that record

Because that one was really more...

Kind of specifically 70s rock, classic rock sounding, an inspired album

And a lot of his influence and he's big into, you know, all the old keyboards and the Hammond organ and everything

So he really kind of pushed us in that direction, so a lot of the credits of that album goes to him for sure

Well, let's get back to live music in the layer with the Rogue Electrics presented by the Aaron Weber group

The next song you have for us tonight has not been released yet

And his premiere tonight is called Free Air

Is this song about a gas station parking lot?

No, but I did see that sign

At a gas station when I wrote this song like on a really long car trip on the way back from Canada fishing trip with my family

And I must have saw that at a sign like on one of the gas stations

It wasn't inspired by it, but the title was in my head

Actually, it kind of comes from the Free Air line comes from Lord of the Rings

Where Gandalf is like, breathe the Free Air again, so that's where the idea comes from

But then I saw it on a gas station sign, I was like, okay, I got to write this song

Because it's kind of about like connecting with nature, getting away from technology

Because I work with technology a lot for my job

And I like my job, I'm good at it

But it's really hard to start a screen all day for eight hours

Sometimes you need to connect with nature and get out there and experience the majesty of the world

So that's kind of what this was, it's kind of like an escape kind of rock song

So yes and no on the gas station thing, but it is there a little bit

All right, let's check it all right now

The song is called Free Air, The Rogue Electrics are live in the layer, Maxine Concevic Media

It's tough talking today, I don't know why

Aaron Weber group is for the proud sponsor of the live and layer rocker

We're back with the rog electrics

And we are talking with Nick Vanderlin, bass guitarist

What is your backstory? I mean, how did you become involved in music?

Sure rocker, you know, first off, thanks for bringing us out here tonight

Really appreciate you guys having us, it's been an honor to play here

Excited to do it

My background of music, I got forced into it, 100%

Yeah, no choice

My choices were trumpeter trombone when you're in fifth grade

Oh nice

So, took trombone, fellow trombones here on our singing side

Mr. Kyle there

Yeah, learned that, grew up in marching band

Learned that, learned euphonium

Got into playing bass in college, guitar

Quickly learned that there's always a better guitar player than you

So I switched to four, you know, four strings

Yeah

Made it much easier, simpler to find gigs, played in a couple bands back in Michigan before I moved to Wisconsin

And I joined these guys basically two days after I moved here

And it's been pretty good ever since

Wow, two days, like two days

Was it like that or would they have an out or what?

Craigslist, I was like, all right, got to get an apartment, got to find a band

Is that an order?

Absolutely

Nice, then like where's the nearest liquor store beer

Wow, so your parents, I'm assuming they're the ones who forced to

Yes, so my mom was always a very big marching band person

Yes, she learned trumpet, flute, top, best in everything, top chair

Yeah, you got to be the same

So, it was made it easy to transition

You know, grew up in a house with lots of music

Her bell pertin to T1 of brass, she had a couple of those sticking around

Very nice

Well, let's get Kyle back up here because you know, we want to talk about

Just last night, June 21st, the Royal Electrics

Release their latest album, Circuit Breakers, and it's all recorded live

Tell us about the new album and there's kind of a concept behind it

Right, like how did you do this all live?

So we had to, we've kind of out of necessity

Had to do our own sound at a lot of gigs

And like coming out of the strangers kind of run

Of doing the shows for that

We got this mixer where we could route everything

Do a computer and record it

So anything you hear on this record was played at a show

And there's no edits, we didn't go back and like overdub something

You know, it's like

These are some of our favorite performances over the last couple of years

That we did live playing in Wisconsin all across the state

You know, wherever we could

And we're really proud of it because we don't really haven't really seen any band do

Like a full-length live album of stuff they've recorded at shows

And these guys, like it really made us a better band

Because we would listen to the recording from every show afterwards and be like

We weren't very good that gig and then other guys were like

We were really good that gig

And then we got like once we started getting a couple takes

A stuff that was like sounding really good

We're like, okay, we think we can do it

But we got to get these five songs better

And let's nail them and get better at performing

And this whole thing made us such a better band

Because it's some of the shows

We tripped the circuits

And we had too much gear

And they're power tripped

And we had to figure out how to make our stuff work

And we still could play really good

And you know, work on our craft

We've been playing Song's Office Circuit Breaker on Maxing Crudio for a couple weeks

Every since he sent me the album

That's awesome

Thank you for that by the way

We really appreciate you guys for that so much

We made us a better band because we get the feel

That comes forward

There's no click tracks or anything

And it is imperfect but it's imperfect in a good way

Where the some

It's live

You have to have the different expectations between a studio album and a live album

Yes, so

Well, the bro electric is playing around Wisconsin this summer

And highlights include June 29th

They're Wittnell Park Beer Garden in Franklin, Wisconsin

Rock the Doc Music Festival in Depeer, Wisconsin on August 10th

But let's get back to some live music in the layer with the roguel electric

It's presented by the Aaron Weber group

The next song you have for us tonight, it's called A Part of the Seams

Is this really about chasing dreams?

It's about failing but not giving up

It's a celebration of failure

So if you can keep going

And you can learn a lesson from some time that you fail or things didn't go how you want

You know, you can keep going and you can learn and you can get better

That's really what it's about

You wrote this song for me

Yeah, clear to ballcrumbs

Still thick as thieves, tricks of my sleep

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, where do we go?

Through the forest at the snow

Yard we may never know

Yard, everything seems to come apart at sea

Hanging on my thread of a loose end to the sea

As waves are leaving now if I slip

I'll get high again with visions of the new day

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, me

Awesome, the rogue electric live in the layer here on max

Civic media

We'll do one more song in just a couple of minutes

I just want to do some quick thanks to Lisa Van Busker

Appreciate that, don't forget

Shane Christopher deal and the indie rock 45 show coming up at 10

Okay, hey, we're here now with the drummer

Let's give the drummer some drummer Mike LaPlan

What is your backstory?

Yeah, I've always been into music

I grew up in Door County and that's very, you know, artsy

And I was big into high school band and choir

I'm still big in bands and I sing and acquire

So I mean, I'm pretty involved musically

in the walk area

What was your parents role in your musical upbringing?

Pretty much mainly just supportive

My family was very, very okay with me

borrowing the high school's drum set for a summer

And that was cool

So I pretty much hit the ground running

As soon as I could hit things with sticks

I pretty much knew I was going to be a drummer

So yeah

You ever sing and drum too?

Yeah, sure

That's hard, I don't know how people could do that

I need to

I sort of compartmentalize it

And I need to focus on one or the other

I can't do both really well

So I need to decide

Okay, if I'm singing lead vocals

I should really do that really well

And then drum more basic

Just get the job done

But I don't think I'm quite good enough to do both

Good at the same time

I need to focus

Yeah, my talent pool is only so deep

Now, let's get back to live music

In the layer with the Roga Lactrix

Presented by the Aaron Weber group

The next song you have for us tonight

Is called A Long For The Ride

Is this like about taking back control?

Yeah, I think it is

And all you really need to know about this is

It's a banger and it's how we end our set

So rock and roll

Let's do it

I love bangers that end sets

Alright, hey guys, thank you so much for coming in tonight
