Friday Night Jazz with Reuben Jackson; 2015-07-24, Hour 2

We're the snaz and this first song is called Try and Try and Try. You'll be washing the lies when you think it's sips, you'll be scraping the gill from your shoes. You've got a plane to the edge of the universe and a cheese salvation for you. That thing's working anymore. Try and Try and Try and Try. Broken my front door. Try and Try and Try and Try and Try. It won't look for me no more. I ain't dying, I ain't a guy. I got one to work with, but it's still I ain't dying, dying, dying, dying All we have for you is a misery

When you sold your soul anew Time out in the mystery I love a place we never knew Nothing's working anymore Try and try and try and try Someone's broken my front door Try and try and try and try and try You won't work for me no more Try and die and die I got one to work with, but it's still I ain't dying, dying, dying, dying, dying I love each other eyes If I make that a bunch of work Or if I turn through I will steal the time that you love so much

So I can live here too I love each other eyes If I make that a bunch of work Or if I make that a bunch of work Or if I turn through I will steal the time that you love so much So I can live here too If we wash in the lights And we bring it steps We'll be scraping the gear from the shoe We've got to play to the edge of the universe And it chiefs out base for you Nothing's working anymore Try and try and try and try Someone's broken my front door Try and try and try and try and try Someone's broken my front door Try and die and die and die

I got one to work with, but it's still I ain't dying, dying, dying, dying, dying, dying I love each other eyes If I make that a bunch of work Or if I turn through I will steal the time that you love so much So I can live here too I will eat your eyes If I make that a bunch of work Or if I turn through I will steal the time that you love so much So I can live here too Thank you There are many, many great things about hosting a radio show And one is when we have people in the studio And we have musicians in the studio We are so graced with great musicians

To be redundant today From Browderboro downstate As the long-time Vermonters say I'm a neo-Fletlander Thank you all for coming To Colchester Studios and playing This is our two of Friday Night Jazz on VPR Let me say before I ask them a question Duke Ellington once said that there were two types of music Good music and the other kind And of course When I think of the former Good music, of course, you think of bands like the SNES I have to also say that You owe me dinner Because I heard you on TV a couple of months ago And I was so entranced You know, I went from the TV And I started smelling something You were so good, I burned dinner You know, I just forgot about dinner It was a compliment But again, welcome Just, you know, a quick question Because we want to get into the music And we'll talk more After you graced us with some more songs But just how long have you all been together

And just talk a bit about the origin of the band's name Anyone? Has it been like three years? I think it's three and a half, three years Almost four To the very beginning It's a story actually But me and Mavis were just in middle school And we were like walking around And brainstorming names and stuff And I think I was trying to use like a creative word So I said the word SNES Which I guess isn't really word And then door was like Mavis Mavis, that's it, that's it And I kept being like, what are you talking about And she was like, that's the name of the band And I was like, okay And so at that point it was just SNES It was interesting It was a little formality Could you quickly introduce the band members Before we go to the second song I should have asked you that before I'm Dharma Ramirez I play guitar and sing lead vocals I'm nine at Cates I play bass And backup vocals

Mavis Eaton and I play the keyboards I'm Zach James And I play drums All right, all right, great All that I need Okay And what I need I play drums I play drums Things are coming to you right by And I see I hear all the things you are

But I talk all out when you're out of the bar And I see it looks real good to play right It'll go from 1975 But pick me up, never come inside And my pockets are full of empty dows Put all that I need And surely won't be late Don't be late, it's low Lonely with a snack cake And I see The visions of the break of day

For the night could run with them away Seems to come in here right by And above from 1975 And I want to catch you up You think it's hard to wait and hold my hand Do I boy, yeah, since I bring the rain Pick me up, I'm safe Put all that I need And surely won't be late It's low Lonely with a snack cake And I see it looks real good to play right by

And I see it looks real good to play right by And I see it looks real good to play right by And I see it looks real good to play I shake my hair if I had an e. We're here in the second hour Friday night jazz on VPR with Ruben Jackson with one of the green mountain

states many musical treasures the snaz from down state as they say from from Brattleboro. I'm a bit of a a word geek and I you know one of things that impressed me when I first heard you all it's like your lyrics and I just if you could just kind of quickly talk about the you know how do you put songs together do you write the lyrics first you come up with the music or how does it work for you well I usually do I write the guitar music first or at least I get like idea of riff going and then I work out lyrics just I just kind of like free right lyrics and then sort them out and put them together and kind of goes together like that and then once I have the guitar and the lyrics together bring it to the band and then we arrange it all now how do you all as band members contribute do you say do you like the rhythm track and think you know as a basis do you say well I'll add this is it do you bring it individually and then put it together or do you just kind of jam or we kind of just play the main like the verse chord progression for a while and then I just kind of like

noodle around figure out what I like to play and and I don't know that's how I developed my parts usually Zach's kind of on it immediately just like oh that's the rhythm got this it's kind of a jam thing yeah it's like it's like don't we'll just show us the song it's like okay well let's play it now we come together later yeah we like figure out different like bridge parts together sometimes we're like it wouldn't be cool if this verse was twice as long as that one or something if you're just tuning in we are here with Domba Ramirez nina Kate's Zach James and Mavis Eaton the snaz just a great band I'm having I guess there's no such thing as too much fun but again thank you all for coming audience make a little more noise for this wonder what's what's next for lucky us summer underground okay yeah

A small town sunday and boys on cigarettes, So hanging out on downtown steps with the coffee shops, no one sucks. Underground in a psychedelic sound where I read in the same old page again, just try it. Sit and fit in and go back to the place you know was one of your own. You're part of being trying to help somebody, on a summer night, on a summer night, on a summer night, on a summer night. Cold as ice and purple veins like a cup of cold water going down the drain, someone sure for me to see.

Someone in the mirror hooked me back at me because that's the only way we're going to get things together, make it through the day and don't we all want more to say. You're part of being trying to help somebody, on a summer night, on a summer night, on a summer night, on a summer night. You're part of being trying to help somebody, on a summer night, on a summer night, on a summer night.

You're part of being trying to help somebody, on a summer night, on a summer night, on a summer night, on a summer night. You're part of being trying to help somebody, on a summer night. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you very much.

Thank you very much. I started playing guitar with the band so probably like three and a half years.

I started playing bass in fourth grade. I kind of took a break for a while and started playing guitar but I'm back to bass because I got recruited to this nest. I guess my playing piano was pretty inconsistent. I technically started taking piano lessons and I was in like the second grade but I didn't for years between then and now. Zach's been playing the drums for his whole life, always. What's the next song? It's a company you're right by.
