00:08Hi, I'm Hugo from the Maccabees, I'm Orlando, and we're at Best of All.
00:14Yeah, we did one warm-up show actually in Exeter, which was good.
00:20And we've just been trying to finish mixing the record.
00:25Been so busy with that.
00:29But yeah, Exeter was fun.
00:31Yeah, it's pretty full on, we're mixing the record at the moment, so it's kind of like the last stage.
00:37And yeah, it's pretty busy.
00:41One song is finished, ready to go, could proudly play it to anyone that we wanted to.
00:48And then the other 11 are in various states of undress.
00:55It's sounding good, it's sounding good.
00:57Yeah, I think it's a really different record.
01:00It's been a long process, you know, it's taken us nearly two years really to get it together.
01:07So, yeah, I don't know how to describe it really.
01:11I mean, we're playing quite a lot of new songs today.
01:16We've played them, but not on this scale.
01:19And not with the possibility of, like, hurricanes.
01:24So yeah, it's just added...
01:27Worry.
01:29Still in discussions really.
01:31There's a few possibilities.
01:33But I guess we're playing a couple of the possibilities tonight.
01:39I mean, some of them don't even have names.
01:41So it's hard to...
01:44We're finding the names quite difficult.
01:46It's really hard.
01:49It is.
01:50You should never leave the name till last, you know.
01:52You've got to get that done early.
01:55Otherwise it just stuck.
01:57We've worked with...
01:58Well, we did a track with Roots Maneuver on the last record.
02:01Which was pretty much a kind of dream collaboration.
02:03I watched Village People yesterday.
02:06And I have to say...
02:08Five of them.
02:09Five of us.
02:12Let's party.
02:13Let's party.
02:14Yeah, exactly.
02:15We're going to tour hopefully pretty soon now.
02:18Do a little UK run.
02:21Just to kind of set up before the record.
02:23And really playing the new songs.
02:25And then...
02:26It's all planned for release in January.
02:28So I can imagine from then, really,
02:31it's going to be pretty serious touring.
02:32And back into it, you know.
02:36It's been, yeah.
02:37It's been quite...
02:37You know, we haven't played many shows for a year.
02:39For over a year.
02:40You know, this year and last year,
02:42we've probably played ten shows or something.
02:45So...
02:45There's been a lot of rehearsal room.
02:48Staring at each other.
02:50And not having anyone else's opinion.
02:53So it's quite nice.
02:54I mean, it's great that the new songs are going down well and stuff.
02:57And that's...
02:58It means a lot, really.
03:02Well, really...
03:04You might find a funny movie,
