i got my wisdom teeth removed today and igot home and wanted to watch how its made but i couldnt remember what it was called so this was my search history
Pete Wentz:
Is this the guy fro poanic at the disco
Ryan Ross:
yeah im ryan, is this pete?
Pete Wentz:
Yeah
Ryan Ross:
hey man
Pete Wentz:
How arer you
Ryan Ross:
im not bad, working on a paper for english. hows everything with the new record?
Pete Wentz:
Going really well
Pete Wentz:
How's everything wiht your band are those just remixes
Ryan Ross:
awesome, yeah we only did those on my laptop because we cant get into a studio yet. but we still have alot of those parts live and full band
Pete Wentz:
Does it have samples like that
Pete Wentz:
How many people are in the band.... Are you guys all in hicghschool
Ryan Ross:
do you mean do we use a sampler? our drummer uses a drum sampler which we put some of the stuff on, and he plays some of it
Ryan Ross:
im in college. im 18 the other three of them are 17 and in high school
Pete Wentz:
Like of the pure volume site songs what would not be part of your live show
Ryan Ross:
well right now the synth stuff because we need a keyboard player. we are trying out a few guys soon though. and some of the drum parts are different.
Pete Wentz:
I absolutely love the stuff
Ryan Ross:
but we have two guitar players one sings and i play lead. its kind of hard to describe it. we are a rock band but about half of a song will be dance-ish or sort of 80s sounding
Ryan Ross:
really? wow thanks alot man
Ryan Ross:
it really is a huge compliment coming from you
Ryan Ross:
i was actually really suprised you listened to it
Ryan Ross:
i didnt expect you to see it
Pete Wentz:
Is there some pics of you guys anywhere
Ryan Ross:
no, we are taking them pretty soon for the website, its just not done yet. i have some just of me on livejournal. but thats wierd haha
Pete Wentz:
Yeah fuck get some to me
Pete Wentz:
I think I may come see you in californaia
Ryan Ross:
really?
Ryan Ross:
that would be awesome
Pete Wentz:
I've been listeneing to those songs nonstop. Is the band a side thing or is it gonna be fulltime?
Ryan Ross:
no its full time
Ryan Ross:
well aside from school. which sucks
Ryan Ross:
but we want to do this
Pete Wentz:
When are those kids out of school
Ryan Ross:
the drummer and bass player are graduating early. so like january and other guitarist/singer graduates in the spring
Pete Wentz:
Nice
Pete Wentz:
Do you know about my label
Ryan Ross:
yeah i think i saw something a while ago on a journal entry, is gym class heroes the only band on it right now?
Pete Wentz:
Yeah. I signed the academy. But they are fbr strictly gym class and I am looking for another
Pete Wentz:
The cool thing about it is I just met with waner and they want both of the bands and to give me an imprint
Ryan Ross:
oh cool i like the academy alot, oh i see yea i was going to ask you about that
Pete Wentz:
Which pretty much means a lot more money to promote cool artists
Pete Wentz:
You guys plays out a lot?
Ryan Ross:
thats awesome man. actually no we just kind of started this thing up a few months ago, the show in victorville is going to be our first one
Pete Wentz:
Really
Pete Wentz:
Interesting
Pete Wentz:
How much do you guys practice
Ryan Ross:
we've been trying to figure out the best way to do this stuff live, and we've been having a hard time on figuring out how to make it sound good. depending on the place we might not be able to use all the electronic stuff that we want to do which sucks but alot of venues, at least here might have a hard time setting us up. we practice at least 4 times a week so like. between 24-30 hours a week
Pete Wentz:
Nice
Pete Wentz:
I am gonna come to the show
Ryan Ross:
we wish we could more often. but school is getting in the way. and it sucks cause parents think its a waste of time playing music and want me to focus on school. im sure you know how that is.
Ryan Ross:
thanks alot man really
Pete Wentz:
I do
Pete Wentz:
What are peoples reactions to it
Ryan Ross:
some good some bad. everyone is so into post hardcore stuff these days that some kids just brush it off. which is fine but then some kids like it cause its a little different i guess
Pete Wentz:
Can that kid sing live?
Ryan Ross:
yeah, he's been taking voice lessons for a little bit so thats starting to help him
Pete Wentz:
Is he on? I mean on here he sounds awesome
Ryan Ross:
yeah he's on pitch, we recorded that stuff with like a 100 dollar vocal mic. the only effects we used was pretty much reverb on the main parts.
Pete Wentz:
Yeah sounds good kind of like patrick
Pete Wentz:
I like it
Ryan Ross:
yeah thats the only thing we get that alot. and thats just how the kid sings. we like your band but we dont want to sound like you guys, or be compared to fob all the time you know? but yeah he is aware that kids say he sounds like patrick so he's just trying different vocal stuff sometimes.
Pete Wentz:
Here's the thing if I show you guys interest a lot of crappy labels are gonna come and do the same and I don't want a huge mess out there. I mean how interested are you guys in going fulltime when you can
Pete Wentz:
Yeah you'll get eh patrock thing but how many people. Sound like hime
Ryan Ross:
so you really think we've got potential then?
Pete Wentz:
I do
Ryan Ross:
i've wanted to play in a band for my job ever since i started high school at least.
Ryan Ross:
we all want to do this
Ryan Ross:
its like i cant put enough dedication into anything exept playing guitar and writing
Pete Wentz:
I'm with you
Ryan Ross:
but yeah. i cant see myself doing anything else but playing in a band, cause every job i've ever had ive hated it
Pete Wentz:
You don't have a picture of the band
Ryan Ross:
no, but if you need it i could have my buddy take some tomorrow at practice
Pete Wentz:
That would be rad
Ryan Ross:
okay we'll take some
Ryan Ross:

Pete Wentz:

Ryan Ross:

Pete Wentz:
Yeah send it here for sure
Ryan Ross:

Ryan Ross:

Pete Wentz:

Pete Wentz:
But there are a lot of fakers out there
Ryan Ross:

Ryan Ross:
thats why i asked if it was you for sure
Pete Wentz:
This guy who is iming me is your manager
Ryan Ross:

Pete Wentz:

Ryan Ross:

Pete Wentz:
You guys are awesome and if its what I think it is I want ti to be thenext academy
Ryan Ross:
wow thanks alot. i hope you like the stuff live, its not completely different but it is different. i mean the singing is the same and all that.
Pete Wentz:
cool
Pete Wentz:
You guys look good. The chicks gonna be swooning?
Ryan Ross:
once we get a keyboard player who can do all of the sampling we want to do it will be alot better too. its like we know how we want to sound, but just finding the right way to do it i guess is what we are working on.
Ryan Ross:
hahaha
Ryan Ross:

Ryan Ross:
