High schoolers Candy Cigarette smoke Max Ink Radio with live performance

This is Magsync Radio.

We are local music.

Rocker, it's time for live from the mad city with candy cigarette.

Oh, yeah, Rob.

It is.

Candy cigarette was formed 16 years ago when guitarist Lucas Deets met bassist Isaac Deets.

I hope I'm saying that right.

Yeah, I mean, they met because they did not mean the last name pronouncing it.

Yeah, Deets is right.

Ironically, it was the same day they both met their mother.

You see Lucas and Isaac are identical twins.

Well, I thought he was to say it's not the last name because I was looking at it.

Okay.

So now while I might be having fun with that, but tonight we'll hear the real story about

the brothers joining up with drummer Evan Sturkey to perform a power trio when they were

10 years old.

And they've been burning up stages here in Wisconsin and beyond tonight live from the

mad city from a con and rock with cons and please welcome candy cigarettes.

Welcome to the radio, guys.

Thank you.

When you guys came to the mad city, where do you like to go to eat?

I mean, where'd you guys go to eat tonight?

We normally play at the Red Rooster when we come down here.

And they had these amazing, uh, what are they called?

Palmini.

Palmini.

Yeah.

And so we found out that there's actually a Palmini place, like just down the road

from here that I think is like owned by the same guy.

Is that right?

Paul Schwarma, who plays harmonica for the Madtown Manage boys owns Palmini.

Yeah.

That's right.

And he owned, he was one of the owners over at the Red Rooster.

Yeah.

Well, that's pretty cool.

How'd you like it?

It was, it was really good.

I was surprised by how much I liked it because I actually never had them, uh, at the

Red Rooster.

Oh, yeah, fresh.

Yeah.

Oh, that's the way to do it.

Well, most times I start this segment with a question, uh, to a band member and, uh,

how they get started with music, what their role, the parents played in their musical

upbringing.

But tonight I'm going to ask the guy who can take us all the way back.

He's manager and dad.

We call that a dadager, Tom Dees, uh, Tom look and maxing radio.

Thanks.

Tell us about having twins and what you notice that made you think they would have

a passion to play music and, and, and what, what drove you to start to, you know, maybe

get them into music.

So it's interesting, uh, having twins as a trip.

Yeah.

I'm, to go down that whole road, but I will say, um, uh, these guys have always, I think

they might have been singing before they could walk to be honest.

And I think some of that has to do with just, um, I don't know, the environment at home

or whatever else.

We're always listening to music dance parties or whatever else like, just, you know, the

family kind of thing, turn the music up and, and go, um, and they tried a lot of different

sports when they were young and never really took too many of those and really started

showing a passion for music, um, at a, at a pretty young age, I, you know, Lucas was

begging for a guitar, I think by the age of five.

And we said, you have to wait until you're, we have to wait until you can take piano

lessons.

We want you to learn piano first.

Make sure you're serious about this music thing.

Of course.

Kind of a little roadblock.

The parent induced piano lessons.

Yeah.

Right.

Um, and, uh, and so, you know, we managed to find a teacher that would say that said,

we can't give you one until you're seven.

And so we had to wait until they were seven.

And, um, it was maybe a year and a half after a year and a half after that, um, right

about the time Lucas was nine.

He said, okay, dad, I've been doing this long enough.

And, uh, I want the guitar that you said I could get if I took these piano lessons.

And so I think your question was, uh, how did I sort of help them get into it?

Yeah.

It's more of, uh, how did they drag me into it?

Uh, just asking for instruments, you know, continuing to work at it.

You know, showing, I guess, promise really being passionate about it.

That's all we really ever wanted for them is to find something they love to do.

And, and so they're, you know, their mom and I, we just, we try to support them the

best way we could, you know, and I, I know Evans folks and, you know, his parents are

the same way.

You know, he's been playing drums for a long time.

He's got, uh, his grandpa's a drummer, um, and so he's got that running in his family.

And, you know, they're just very, very supportive.

Um, it's been a, it's been a really fun trip.

Let's get right to live music from the man city with candy cigarette presented by the

Aaron Weber group.

The first song that you have for us tonight is called Revolution.

Is this a song about turning something upside down to make something right side up?

Yeah.

So basically when, at the time that we wrote the song, we were going to this really strict

school.

There's like uniforms and stuff.

And me and him, we really didn't like it.

We were only there for a year.

And, um, so we wrote it about, you know, just, you know, getting out of there pretty much

because we, because we really didn't like it.

They were in jail.

Pretty much.

Yeah.

That's how it felt at least.

Yeah.

Wow.

Let's check it out.

This is Revolution.

You're listening to candy cigarette live from the man city on Maxine Gradio.

Hey, let's talk, uh, to the bassist and singer, Isaac Deeds, uh, Isaac, tell us about

getting started in music and from your perspective and filling the funny stuff your dad left

out.

Yeah.

What's your backstory?

Yeah.

So, uh, I kind of started similar way to Lucas, you know, uh, I kind of tagged along and

I feel like he was kind of the first one to really express interest in, uh, like guitar

and stuff.

But I took piano lessons too.

And, um, I think that what really, you know, made me decide I wanted to play bass, you

know, not guitar, like Lucas is, uh, come together by the Beatles, like, I heard that song

and like, that's a really nice, like, sound, you know, uh, yeah, great bass, great bass line.

Yeah.

For sure.

And there, you know, I just started learning, uh, you know, stuff like YouTube, like tutorials

and whatever.

And, uh, eventually I got lessons for a little bit and then, you know, I stopped taking

them because the guy, uh, told me that he's, I should get, because it was a guitar teacher

that I was getting my bass lessons.

Oh, no.

I should get a dedicated bass teacher.

Oh, yes.

But, uh, yeah, I mean, that's pretty much everything up until now.

I've just kind of kept learning from just what I listened to, you know, drummers will thank

you for that.

Um, you know, let's talk about, you know, in high school, right?

You're six, three, I imagine that people want you in sports, but you guys are choosing

music, right?

Yeah.

So, uh, it's actually a funny thing.

We were me and him walking in the hallway and, uh, one of the football coaches, like,

kind of stopped us and tried to talk us into rejoining our football team, whatever, because

we played football, you know, a while ago, like when we were really young for like, the,

like, the really young kid, like, football stuff that our high school does or whatever.

Sure.

Um, and like, we were not that great.

Uh, like, we were better at football and everything else, but we were so pretty bad at it.

So, um, yeah, I've always just, you know, like, like doing music better than that stuff

and stuff.

Well, you know, I mean, what musician wants to jam a finger, right?

Dude.

You have no idea.

A couple of years ago, uh, I broke my, uh, left pinky and ring finger, and then my, also

my right wrist on the same fall.

I felt playing football outside, like during science class.

There you go.

Yeah.

Um, that inhibits the music career.

Yeah.

Uh, so we actually didn't have to cancel any shows, which was nice.

I played slide guitar for one of them, and then I played organ for the other one.

So yeah, we kind of just had to figure out a way to get those shows done and stuff.

And who are your influences?

Uh, well, I'd say that definitely like Led Zeppin, like John Paul Jones is a big one.

Yeah.

Uh, James Jamerson is a huge one for me too.

Uh, he's, uh, he plays based on just a ton of like Motown stuff and whatnot, but he's

really great.

Uh, and then, you know, just, uh, Paul McCartney, you know, like, just, uh, anyone you'd

expect to hear, you know, like, they're all really good.

Right.

Right.

But I, I noticed a lot of your influences are older.

They're not, uh, they're not really contemporary people as much as you guys kind of, um, pay

homage to some of the, you know, 70s rockers, I've noticed for sure.

Uh, we just heard the song Revolution and it was recently released, um, where was that

song recorded and how can we find it online?

So that one we recorded at, um, Renwood studio, um, uh, is sending Milwaukee or, uh, received

Kenosha area?

It's in like the Kenosha area.

And, um, we, uh, you can find that anywhere you find your music, um, Spotify, Apple Music.

Yeah.

Any of those places.

And, uh, you're recording the songs, um, that we're hearing tonight, are you recording

with the same studio and producer?

No, we're just, we're recording the rest at home because we got a lot of stuff.

So we, we decided that it's easier to do it from there.

Oh, nice.

Uh, who takes care of the engineering and, uh, the dad to do it.

Yep.

I'll give that all to my dad.

I'm like, I'm going to be there as well, huh?

I try.

Yeah.

You do a lot.

Oh, well, let's get back to you live from the Mad City with Candie Siger at presented

by the Aaron Weber group.

And, uh, the next song you have for us tonight is called Ballad of the Blue J. And this

song will be released this summer.

Tell us about this song before you play.

Yeah.

So this song was, uh, kind of sometimes we just, uh, just decide we want to, you know,

just go write a song and we do it in like 20 minutes or it takes us like a year

to finish it or whatever because we start it and then we never really get back to it.

This was one that we finished, I think, like, day of starting writing it.

And a lot of these, like, we don't really know what they're about.

We just kind of write down what comes to our head and like, with the lyrics and all that

and just go with it.

But I think this one is, uh, like a song that's like kind of like an underdog story, almost

type of thing, you know?

All right.

Well, let's check it out.

This is Ballad of the Blue J. You're listening to, um, excuse me, candy cigarette right here

on Maxing Radio.

It's locked in the cage, no way I would live freedom's water, this is a drought.

Well, I've done it with nonsense and what I'm told to be, they're giving out strikes

and I'm up to three.

Oh, I was in the day, all I was in to sky, message to all my rebels, say, oh, good

night, you know the story, I've seen it all, hey, treat her as this, she knows, well,

shelam on me, listen out of the cage and I'm up to three.

My sporting cap, bumping in backwards and I'm letting her in.

Now I will see your red eyes, how I open the doors.

There is not a sound, peaceful, silent, or thought.

What is and what is not?

I open the doors, there is not a sound, peaceful, silent, or thought.

What is and what is not?

I'm going to see the day, or rise into the sky.

A message to all my rivals, say you're goodbyes, say you're goodbyes, say you're goodbyes, say you're goodbyes, say you're goodbyes.

A message to all my rivals, say you're goodbyes, say you're goodbyes.

You are listening to maxing radio in live from the mad city with candy cigarette.

Oh man, that was pretty crazy, that was ballad of the blue jay.

And let's get to the other brother, Lucas Deeds.

Lucas, we can only pinpoint the spot by triangulation.

So tell us from your perspective how you got started playing music and filling the funny stuff your dad and your brother left out.

Okay, yeah, so as he said, I really wanted to play guitar since I was like five.

So then when they told me I'd take piano lessons, I was kind of bummed out but kind of excited because they said yes in a way.

So then yes, then we went into those piano lessons as I was like, it's been a while, why don't have a guitar yet?

So I talked to my dad and he got me one and I was about nine.

I went down to the basement and I got your mom's from 20 years before.

Yeah, and then after that, it was just like dang, I really like doing this.

This is what I want to do.

So I just kept practicing and kept playing and as I got better, it made me more confident.

And I think I always started playing guitar because I kind of wanted to feel cool.

I feel like that's why I originally wanted to start playing.

It was just because I wanted to be cool.

So you and many other rock stars.

And sports for you, you know, the brothers, you guys didn't dig sports?

Well, yeah, in the beginning we didn't.

I am currently in track just because it's not as like a champion figure there probably.

Exactly.

Yeah.

And I do mess around with basketball sometimes but I'm not very good.

He loves it. Don't let him fool you. He loves them.

Yeah.

But yeah, so that's it for sports for me though.

And what was it about guitar as opposed to the other instruments that really drew you in?

Well, who are your inspirations?

Okay, yeah. So I really just guitar felt really cool.

I don't know. That's just what I'm just going to put it as.

Yeah, right.

Yeah. So and then some inspirations.

I got to put Charlie star from Blackberry smoke up there.

He's a really big one for me.

Definitely like Jimmy Page, you know, got that one in there.

The Zeppelin. You got to have the Zeppelin.

Yeah, for sure.

Tell us about your band name, Candy cigarette.

I mean, I hadn't seen any for years till I went up to Door County.

Where do you get yours?

Oh, yes. You know, that's funny.

Door County is a funny story.

We have a song called Sister Bay.

That's a place down there.

But we'll save that for another time.

Right.

But so basically my mom came home from this event downtown with these vintage candies.

And it was right about the time that I was picking up the guitar.

And so she had these candy cigarettes.

I'm like, dang, that wouldn't that be a cool band name?

So then when we had the band, we decided to make it Candy cigarette.

Oh, that's funny.

Well, you know, who do you get more interesting comments from about your band name?

Younger or older people?

Older people because they know what, like they know the reference pretty much.

Yeah, they like them as much as I do.

Or at least the idea of like they're terrible.

Yeah, they really don't talk to you.

But you know, but yeah, they were still are.

Oh, wow, that's pretty funny.

Well, let's get back to live music from the man city with candy cigarette presented by the Aaron Weber group.

The next song that you have for us tonight will be on your upcoming album.

It's called, oh, you changed the song.

This one is out the door.

Yeah.

Is this a breakup song?

Yeah.

This is a breakup song for our bassist, Isaac.

Yeah.

And he didn't like really want to write about it.

So I had to.

So I kind of wrote the song for him.

A brother.

Yeah.

All right.

Well, let's hear it.

This is out the door.

You're listening candy cigarette.

Lying from the man city on Maxing Radio.

Never told me what's wrong.

Never told me what's needed.

Never told me what's wrong.

And how you feel.

First thing in the morning.

You put my heart for sure.

First thing in the morning.

Clucked out of the door.

It's dead, dead, dead, dead, dead.

Dead, dead, dead, dead.

You locked out of the door.

It's dead, dead, dead, dead, dead.

Dead, dead, dead, dead.

You locked out of the door.

It's dead, dead, dead, dead, dead.

Dead, dead, dead, dead.

Dead, dead, dead.

Dead, dead, dead.

You ride me to my core.

First song that I saw.

I thought that I was dreaming.

First song that I saw.

You, it feels unreal.

I threw up your tears.

You said that we were through.

All the little little sounds down with you.

It's dead, dead, dead, dead.

Dead, dead, dead.

You locked out of the door.

It's dead, dead, dead, dead.

Dead, dead, dead.

You ain't running around here anymore.

It's dead, dead, dead, dead.

Dead, dead, dead.

I love you lying on the floor.

It's dead, dead, dead, dead.

Dead, dead, dead.

You ride me to my core.

I didn't know you felt this way about us.

But I did my best.

Now I can clear my head and pull.

My mind rests after you.

Said goodbye.

Said goodbye.

Been thinking less about all the time we had together.

We were morning fans.

Dead, dead, dead, dead, dead.

You locked out of the door.

It's dead, dead, dead, dead.

Dead, dead, dead.

You ain't running around here anymore.

It's dead, dead, dead, dead.

Dead, dead, dead.

Let me lie in the floor.

It's dead, dead, dead, dead.

Dead, dead, dead.

You ride me to my core.

Dead, dead, dead.

Dead, dead, dead.

Dead, dead, dead.

Dead, dead, dead.

How you left me lying on the floor.

I'm flying on the floor.

Dead, dead, dead, dead.

Dead, dead, dead.

You rock me to my core.

I didn't say I could.

Bye from the bad city with candy cigarette.

Brought to you by the Aaron Weber Group.

More live music right here on WMDX.

After this.

You found Wisconsin's local music authority.

This is Maxinc Radio.

We are local music.

Time now for the second half of live from the bad city with candy cigarette.

Brought to you by the Aaron Weber Group right here on Maxinc Radio.

Thanks Rob.

Hey, let's give the drummer some.

There's nothing I love more than a power trio.

And the heartbeat is the drummer.

Evan Sturkin.

Evan, how did you get started playing music?

What's your backstory?

All right.

Well, as we said before, my grandpa is a drummer.

Jerry Sturkin.

I mostly just started in the school bands.

Like in middle school, I just wanted to do the percussion section there.

And then after doing that, I realized I like music.

And that's something I want to keep doing.

And then I learned a lot from my grandpa when he started teaching me drum set.

Was he in a band?

Yeah, he played in a lot of bands throughout the years.

Yeah, anything you know of the name of?

Yeah, well, most recently he was in a smooth blues.

Okay.

So they're playing like, you know, old school blues.

Yeah, right.

Yeah, cool.

And then, yeah, he just taught me a lot about drum set.

And then as I kept just playing and playing more with the school things and everything,

I just kept wanting to learn more.

And then once I got into high school, I met these guys and just joined them on what they're doing.

And ever since then, it's been fantastic.

And when did you get your first drum set?

Let's see.

Well, probably about like sixth grade my grandpa gave me one of his, which I still have today.

And it's, I love it.

And are either of your parents musicians?

No, I mean, aside from just some school stuff, they stopped that a long time ago, but I guess it skipped a generation for me.

What was their role in your musical bringing and, you know, in the support of you being a musician?

They've been fantastic.

They've just been incredibly supportive of everything I want to do and helping me like get to gigs and, you know, helping figure out how we can make something happen.

They put up with all my making noise in the basement all the time.

You guys rehearsed your house?

No, well, we did at the very start, but now we're at their house, but I still am playing all the time.

Yeah, right.

You never stopped making noise, right?

Right.

Thomper.

You know, why drums?

Why did you gravitate ahead?

It's really just what I went towards.

I don't know.

A lot of it had to do with my grandpa and he was a big inspiration for me and helping me learn the instrument.

Yeah.

Not bass, though.

You know, that's what drums are, right?

Right.

Usually grandpa's like, I need a bass player.

Well, that's pretty cool.

Who are your influences in drumming?

Yeah, I mean, well, we all have our Zeppelin influence, so I'm a big John Bonham fan, of course.

Also with some of those other, like, legendary drummers.

I love Stewart Copeland.

Well, it's even some of the, like, older jazz guys, like Tony Williams.

And then for more modern, I'm a big, big fan of rival sons.

And their drummer Michael Miley has been a huge influence for me, too.

Now, what do you think I know?

Rush is coming out, right?

Yeah.

And they have a new drummer.

What's your feeling on Anika Niles and joining Rush?

I think that's a, I mean, I think that's fantastic.

I don't know a whole lot about her.

I mean, I got to see some, see how everything's going with them, but it seems like it's fantastic.

It's cool to see them getting back out there.

And I mean, I'm sure if anyone's able to take that seat, I'm sure.

Neil Pertz, like, I think, you know, everybody's inspiration.

I don't think you can even be a drummer without being inspired, right?

Yeah.

Well, when you guys were writing songs, what comes first?

Riff, concept, or lyric?

Usually, we start, it doesn't really, it changes between songs, I guess, because, you know,

which depends on what we have, like, sometimes we start with, like, you said, like, a riff or a lot of times we'll start with just, like,

oh, like, we'll just write a verse, you know, like, a lot of the times we're writing kind of a lot of stuff at the same time, you know,

because usually when we write, like, stuff, we usually write it, you know, with a guitar and hand.

So there's always something to go with whatever you're singing, you know?

Right.

And how many songs do you guys think you have in the can right now?

I have no clue.

So as you're recording, that's just a constant process.

Yeah, we just, we record scratch tracks, and then we also do, like, actual four recordings and stuff.

We just, you know, we have it at our house, so we just record whatever we can to get it down.

Nice.

Well, let's get back to live music from the Mad City with candy cigarette presented by the Aaron Weber group.

The next song you have for us tonight will be on your upcoming album.

It's called Red Bird.

Is this the ballad of the cardinal?

Yeah, so I wrote, I wrote Ballad of the Blue J2.

I wrote this one.

I don't know what it is.

I just kind of decided to write about birds a lot.

Yeah, I don't really know.

And you're playing acoustic guitar in this song.

Yeah, I'm not bass this time, right?

Yeah, I kind of picked up guitar as kind of a jealousy thing, really.

If you can do it, I can do it.

Right.

But then I wrote this song with it, and it was really good.

And this is another one of those ones that kind of just came together in like 15 minutes.

It was a really easy one to write.

Well, let's check it out.

This is Red Bird.

You're listening to the candy cigarette live from the Mad City on Maxing Radio.

Like a blood red cardinal in the green, green grass, the blue sky, this time may pass,

like a bullet to a gun, locked and loaded, like a sky to the sun, on the road in,

but the sun will set in the moon will rise, and the earth will shake as a red bird flies,

like a blood red cardinal in the green, green grass, the blue, blue sky,

this time may pass, like a trophy to its case, with a paper on the desk,

you'll hide your face, lower nose or ass, but the sun will set in the moon will rise,

and the earth will shake as a red bird flies.

And this time may pass, like a blood red cardinal in the green,

but the sun will set in the moon will rise,

and the earth will shake as a red bird flies,

but the sun will set in the moon will rise, and the earth will shake as a red bird flies,

like a blood red cardinal in the green, green grass, the blue, blue sky,

this time may pass, like a trophy to its case, the paper on the desk,

cardinal in the green, green grass, the blue, blue sky,

red bird, that is candy cigarette live from the mad city on maxing radio,

well that was a really incredible song, I love how you mixed in the acoustic guitar with that.

Thank you.

And awesome song, talk about what it was like being a really young band and outplaying shows.

Yeah, it was really crazy, I mean I don't think we even knew what we were doing for half of it,

because we really just started really early, and it was like, it was almost like a dream playing shows that early, you know?

I mean, we've gotten some crazy experiences and met some pretty awesome people doing it,

and we've gotten lucky with that.

I mean, yeah, we've met a lot of nice people out playing music.

What are some memorable shows, candy cigarette has been a part of?

Memorable shows that we've done, probably the Genesee theaters supporting Blackberry Smoke,

and we played out bloody guys legends in Chicago.

Oh wow.

And then we're a summer fest two year veterans, you could say, and then the International Blues Challenge in Memphis,

and Navy Pier for the Bittergester Blues Festival.

What among those shows, like, you know, really stands out?

Oh, definitely the Blackberrys' show, yeah.

What was that like?

That was crazy.

I mean, my dad just, like, he got the word, like, in the morning, and he didn't want it like so.

How did you get that gig?

How did we get it?

He just, you know, shot in the dark, was a bullseye.

Yeah, I mean, so.

One of those, like, must have asked the right person the right day, with the right words, kind of thing,

and, you know, we didn't think it was going to happen, right?

And so I was just closing the loop with the venue, you know, like, hey, just wanted him, you know,

what venue was it?

Uh, Genesee Theater down in, uh, I guess, Gerrard, like, night.

Gerrard.

Well, Waukegan?

Yeah, yeah.

Thanks, Evan.

Down in Northern, Northern Illinois.

And, you know, I was just kind of closing the loop with them, and they're like, well, let me,

we haven't heard back.

Let me just check, or whatever, and then, you know, I go downstairs to work, and, you know,

I'm working for my office downstairs, and check the email, and the candy cigarette email,

and they're like, yeah, you guys got it, or whatever else.

Like, I was just buzzing.

These guys were still asleep.

It was the summer.

So nobody was at school, and, like, I kind of, like, bounded up the stairs, how old my

life up, and how old were they at this point?

13?

Wow.

Something like that.

Were you a Blackberry fan before you?

Oh, yeah.

And I also want to add, I think it was actually just the weekend, because we had to get

form signed by our principal to let us work in Illinois.

Work.

But that was for the next fall, because the show was in November, but, yeah, either way.

Yeah.

I know.

Right.

It was Blackberry smoke, I think.

I remember, I distinctly remember Lucas, as we were coming up with the first bio, or just

the idea of what, who they thought they wanted to be as a band, and they're like, Blackberry

smoke, but heavier.

Like, Blackberry smoke, plus, like, Black Sabbath.

That's who we want to be.

Oh, I like that.

It sounds good to me.

Candy cigarette has a ton of shows coming up.

River, River's Bend Blues Revival at the Bend Theater on the 17th of April, eight plus

mortar sports in Elkhorn, May 9th, Pharma, Polusa in the Fox Valley on May 30th, the X-ray

Arcade in Cudahay.

That's a May 31st tumble rock in Baraboo on June 6th.

You guys head out to Colorado in June, and then it's paperfest in Carcana on July 18th.

How excited are you guys for this summer's run of live shows?

We're very excited.

We always, we always love when summer comes, because we get to play more and go to school

less, obviously.

That's important.

Yeah.

Well, let's get back to live music from the Mad City with Candy cigarette presented

by the Aaron Weber group.

The next song that you have for us tonight, and it's going to be on your upcoming album,

and it's called Chasing the Sun.

Is this a song about living out to midnight and rocking to the dawn?

This one is chasing the sun's really more about, you know, it's, it's not that fun.

Yeah.

Chasing the sun's really more about, you know, chasing after things that you really won't

be fruitful, you know, like chasing the sun is just like, so I was at this farmer's market

and when I was really little, and I was just staring up at the sky and just like following

the sun wherever it went.

So I lost my parents.

So that's where the basis, so that's where the basis of the song comes from.

And, but yeah, so it's basically just like chasing stuff that in the end, it won't be

worth the trip.

It was like, you know, awesome, you're like, paging Lucas, your parents are up at the

front aisle.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Except this was like, I think it was strawberry festival or something like that.

It was strawberry festival.

Oh, wow.

So like a big festival and it was more like, okay, we need to find a police officer and

we need to get the radio and everything.

I was real lost.

Yeah.

Wow.

That is lost.

Chasing the sun.

Well, let's check it out.

Yeah.

This is Candy Singer.

It's a really good song.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Oh, it was tonight.

Bring it on my soul.

You taking us all on me.

Chasing after it was never enough.

yeah.

Got me down on my knees.

Well I'm chasing Son nowhere.

I'm chasing Son nowhere.

Well I'm chasing Son nowhere.

I'm chasing Son nowhere.

Well I'm chasing Son nowhere.

I'm chasing Son nowhere.

Wiping and not giving breath.

It's time to realize what you need to see something bigger.

What's along for and what to seek?

Love is all you need.

Well I'm chasing Son nowhere.

Well I'm chasing Son nowhere.

I'm chasing Son nowhere.

Well I'm chasing Son nowhere.

I'm chasing Son nowhere.

Wiping and not giving breath.

Wow, candy cigarette.

That was chasing the Son.

That was incredible you guys.

Great song.

I love your backup vocals and the way you guys sound together.

Sometimes while I'm mixing and I'm like, wait, which guy's singing?

I can't tell the difference between the boys.

Identical twins also sound very similar and it's just amazing how your voice is doubled

up.

Yeah.

It definitely helps with the harmonies that we do and stuff when we have the same voice.

They blend really well together.

Must be terrible on the phone with you guys.

How can we follow candy cigarette online, purchase music and keep up with the shows?

Online Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok at candy cigarette band would be where you would

find us and for buying stuff, I mean just come out the shows and buy our merch.

That's the best way you can support us is to come into shows.

Nice.

Go out to the shows, buy the merch and when do you think you're going to be releasing

some of these new songs?

So as we said, ballads are going to be coming out this summer, ballad of Blue J and

maybe.

Like when this summer?

I don't know.

Probably.

We need a date.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I don't know if we have an exact date.

I'm going to turn it over to my dad.

He'll know within me on this.

You're on the spot.

Yeah.

So I would say like three song EP with Red Bird Revolution and something's wrong, which

you guys will hear coming up, should be coming out within the next month and then following

that up.

I would say before August, you should see.

Ballad of the Blue J. Hitten and then we'll probably have a few more after that.

Awesome.

Well, we have time for one more song tonight with Candy Cigarette on Live from the Mad City

presented by the Aaron Weber group.

The last song that you have for us tonight is called Something's Wrong.

And what is a question you ask the opposite sex?

Is that like a, is that what it is?

The second jeopardy question.

What is the question you asked the opposite sex?

Yeah.

Right?

Something's wrong.

Oh.

Oh, I get it now.

All right.

All right.

Yeah.

It's okay.

I didn't know where he was going.

Yeah.

I mean, I'm in a mind of my own.

Yeah.

Yeah.

No, it's fine though.

Yeah.

Tell us about this song.

So this song is really about just not feeling like you have a place or just feeling like there's

something wrong with you or something wrong with the world.

That's a lyric that's in there.

Just feeling like something's not right.

Something's up and like feeling a little bit different than the rest of the people.

I mean, I internalize it obviously because I go to, I still go to a normal high school with

a bunch of other kids who like, it's really hard to like relate with them on some things

just because of what I've been doing for the, my life pretty much.

Well, let's check it out.

This is something's wrong.

You're listening to Jamie Sigeret on live from the Mad City of Max Enqueridio.

Yeah, the truth be told, I was never that bold and I never saw past my doubt.

I try to be like everyone else as you can see that didn't work out.

It's something's wrong, it's me or the world, it's something's wrong and I can't seem

to figure it out.

So many times it was clear to me that I was different from everyone else.

As I find my way through this darkness as I thought that I can't keep up

The truth be told, it's something's wrong and I can't seem to figure it out.

I can't seem to figure it out, I can't seem to figure it out, I can't seem to figure it out.

I can't seem to figure it out, I can't seem to figure it out.

I can't seem to figure it out, I can't seem to figure it out.

There's something wrong, there's made all the wrong.

There's something wrong, and I can't seem to figure it out.

There's something wrong, it's made all the wrong.

There's something wrong, tell me I can figure it out.

There's something wrong, tell me I can figure it out.

There's something wrong, tell me I can figure it out.
