The Fault's Wasting My Time with Rock108.

It's 10 after 9.

Not wasting my time with these guys.

Now, we're going to start right now.

Dan Joe Boots from Nervomit.

It's a nirvana tribute act, and they're playing at Otis's Tailgater Sports Bar.

And that'll be happening tomorrow.

Uh, show starting at what, nine o'clock guys?

Nine o'clock.

Yeah.

Nine o'clock.

Now I need to know, give us the nickel tour as we're getting introduced to you guys in Nirvana here today from Iowa city.

Uh, how long you guys been together?

We've been together about nine years or so.

What made you choose Nirvana?

I mean, obviously one of the premier bands of our generation right now.

Are you guys all big fans of Nirvana?

Oh yeah.

We're all super fans.

We all grew up with it.

Grew up with Nirvana and did you what was the album for you that kind of set things off was it never mind?

For me anyway, it was actually incesticide

really I

didn't know it at the time, but my dad was actually cool when you're a kid you think your dad's a dork and I'd got a tape player for my birthday and the first tape that I ever had was incesticide So that was my whole introduction.

We didn't really have cable or anything so MTV, you know, we

might have illegally got a patch or something.

But yeah, most of it was just incesticide, actually.

And it was just so different from everything else that I'd heard that I just was instantly drawn to it.

Dan, what about you?

When you get involved with nirvana and you've got to find a way to find the sound, what are you guys doing to try and copy what you're hearing or paying tribute to nirvana?

Well, I think a lot of it is just through osmosis, right?

Because I've

I've listened to so much Nirvana and I've taken the deepest dive you can possibly take into that band Even as so far as to Like I worked with Steve Albini for a while who recorded in utero Really?

Yeah.

Yeah, he I had like a mentorship with him Okay, and I wouldn't work with him for like 10 days eat and breakfast with the guy every morning and what's he like it?

What was he

like as an individual Steve Albini?

Pretty much, I don't know if you've ever seen an interview with him, but he's exactly the same.

He's very focused always.

And I mean, with me, it was always like business,

you

know?

But he didn't mind answering any kind of questions.

He had a lot of great stories about not only Nirvana, but like working with Bush, working with Scott Weiland, working with the Zeppelin guys, because he did that page plant album, stuff like that.

I mean, basically what I'm trying to get at is I took a really deep dive into Nirvana.

Yeah, I mean, hearing Albini's name and to hear that you were hanging out having breakfast with him.

I mean, that's that's something not a lot of people get a chance to have.

Sure.

You know, and to have someone like that who it seemed like he was so unassuming in the music business, but he was very smart, wasn't he?

Oh, he was super intelligent and.

Very aware of what was going on around him.

You know, it's it's not like he Oh, I don't know how to put this he basically Was very intentional with what he did

always.

Yeah We got Dan Joe and boots from Nirvamit a Nirvana tribute they're playing tomorrow at tailgaters sports bar boots I got to know when you're up on the stage and you guys are playing as a three-piece playing Nirvana tracks, which ones are some of your

favorites?

My favorites are the ones that bring more energy, territorial pissings, sent less apprentice, kind of biased on that one.

I think Grohl wrote a fair amount of that one.

Yeah.

And I do play the role of Grohl in this in this outfit.

Those and.

Yeah, just the ones that bring a lot of energy.

I feed off the crowd.

And so the more energy I get, the more energy I give.

So

Grohl attacked his kit.

How about you?

I do.

I, uh, you know, I, I intentionally, I've got three or four kids and I intentionally, the kit that I use for nervous, uh, one that I don't mind bleeding and sweating on and.

because

that

usually happens all the time.

There's

literally blood all over

his snare drum.

We've got the pictures to prove it.

That's awesome.

Well, we'll have them take a look at your Facebook page here today and join you at Tailgaters tomorrow.

We've got Dan, Joe and Boots from Nervomit and they will be playing Russ in Marshall's Marketplace coming up right now.

Tool is sober.

That's the new one from sleep theory called static on the rock 108 morning show 924 Brian Marshall Russ.

Good morning to you sir morning and our guests Joe Dan boots from Nervomit a Nirvana tribute act tailgaters Cedar Rapids with Stone Age Queens Queens of the Stone Age tribute

That's tomorrow night, beginning at nine o'clock.

And because we don't have cameras in the studio, I'll describe them.

They're all wearing shorts with flannels tied around their waist.

The only way to roll.

The thing, guys, and I kind of asked you this off the air, and you talked about getting into the sound itself.

What is it like having to get yourself to play the songs on the stage?

Are you copying the studio or are you copying the live?

What are you doing,

Dan?

Most of the time, I'm looking at the live stuff, but it's like a combination of the two, really.

Like what makes the most sense to go out and do?

But like a lot of times what we'll do is we'll take a live set list that Nirvana actually played and we'll just play it that way so that we can actually kind of embody what they've done.

I've probably listened to like, I don't know, at least 70 Nirvana shows.

70?

Yeah, I would say if that.

I just used to collect bootlegs all the time, just.

just so into it, you know?

So it's kind of like, we try to embody them on stage really.

I try to play the crisp part and like do jokes and do all that kind of stuff.

Joe will like kind of hang back and do dry one-liners and things like that.

And then this guy on drums, he just beats the hell out of the drums.

So you're Kurt.

You're Kurt.

He's Kurt.

You're Kurt.

Do you have a Courtney Hall waiting off stage?

Only at the best shows.

Oh, I got

you.

Where was Nirvana best?

Was it out on the West Coast?

Was it, where were some of the better shows?

Anybody?

Oh, you mean like, like what were, what do you think when you, when

you look at

the set lists and stuff like that and you, you see the biggest amount of energy, are you seeing it more out West?

You know, when he was closer to home or, you know, he's in some of the bigger cities, bigger crowds, what you thinking?

Well, a lot of it was maybe like the early shows, like the Bleach Era shows, things like that, where you can feel the anticipation building.

Some of those shows, like right before Nevermind came out, just electric, just totally electric.

And I can't tell you like where those shows were, but you know, you start listening to those shows and you can just feel the energy rising.

as they get closer and closer to never mind.

So you're going to take on Russ in Marshall's marketplace here in just a moment.

This is three items from Facebook marketplace.

And since it's three of you guys with Russ, I think we need somebody to team up with for you today, Russ.

With guests in the studio nerve omits and on the line right now We have a member of P1 nation who is going to be your teammate today Russ.

We have

Michael from Cedar Rapids Michael.

Are you there my friend?

I sure am he sure is

Tell us

something.

We don't know about you Michael

Pull the tattoos and I'm a garage door installer

I love

it.

You're gonna team up with Russ.

He will be coming to you and you guys will work together on this.

It's three items from Facebook Marketplace.

Russ and Michael taking on our guest in Nervomit today.

Nothing over $199.40 today, guys.

The first item.

Today on Marshall's Marketplace, crate creatures, barf buddies.

Prices for all shown does not include the slime.

To you first, Russ.

I have no idea what these are.

Never seen them before, never heard of them before.

They're little plastic monsters, I guess.

And it looks like they give birth to little tinier monsters or something.

They barf them up.

Oh, they barf them up?

Yeah.

Or vomit them up.

OK.

All

right.

Um, they're on a carpet that looks like couscous, but maybe I'm hungry.

I'm not sure.

Um, look, three little plastic toys.

They couldn't want more than $15 for these.

All right.

What

do you think, Michael?

I was thinking $10 to $15 to say.

Okay.

So we're going to stick with our 15.

So 15.

All right, guys.

Nervomit.

15 higher or lower?

Well, these could be vintage collectibles.

And but they don't I've never heard of these things.

I'm saying what do you think lower?

I think since I mean it doesn't include the slime right right.

There's no slime.

Oh,

they left the slime out.

Yeah, I'm going lower.

They're going lower final answer.

Yeah,

lower is correct

Lower than $15

five line five bucks should never happen

I thought for sure I had

one.

Nervomit leads one to nothing.

We

move

on to the second item.

We screwed that one up, Michael.

That's all right.

Yeah, I blame you.

We could come back.

We could come back, see?

All

right.

Bring it.

Bring it.

Good morning.

You're not good.

He says you're not good.

What?

Oh, he's not wrong.

Oh, okay.

All right.

The next item is these are tab books, Nirvana Bleach and Creed guitar books.

Available in Cedar Rapids, two accurate books with transcriptions of two popular albums.

One by Nirvana, one by Creed.

Pick up on the southeast side of Cedar Rapids.

First to

you, Russ.

Nobody who actually plays guitar can sight read, so I question this right off the bat.

Did you hear the bleach album the the guy that was playing guitar for them actually owns that album because he funded the whole project I'm sure the guy.

Yeah, you knew this guys.

Yeah Um, he did fund the project, but I don't think he owns the album.

Well, they see there's this speculation now that legally

Yeah, and then he

may come back and want all the

uh, what's what's even funnier is he didn't even play on it at all He didn't know so they just they put his name on it

to make him feel like he's part of the band because he funded it.

But they replaced him and had somebody else playing

guitar?

He was just

their tour guitar player.

Oh, that's funny.

Yeah.

It was $640.

Yes.

What?

Yeah.

Wow.

Yeah.

I'll take the lower.

So these are guitar books for people who can read music.

Very, very small audience.

I'm going to say they're looking for $48.50.

Michael, what do you think?

I'd say lower, they got Creed in there, so I'd say $25.

I like

how Michael thinks.

All right, so you're going with how much, Michael?

I'd say $25.

He says $25.

Russ, you good with that?

$25.

Let's go a little higher.

Let's go $35.

Okay, I can do that 35 bucks

35 nirvana.

What do you guys

think higher lower than 35?

Well, we already have a clue on here, right?

Cuz it says 799 for that nirvana for

Christ's sake says a price

on one And the creed we we've already established that's probably a lower value no price on that

so it was probably free

So yeah, they're probably just throwing that one in there.

So I'm gonna say lower

They probably had to pay him to take that one.

Yeah lower.

All right final

answer

Yeah,

lower lower correct

It's all fake news

Ten bucks.

Oh, come on.

The guys were right.

They had to pay him out

Right Michael.

I should have gone with you

All right, the final item the final item is a left-handed Fender squire everything works has some wear marks on the back to you Russ

So I don't know much about guitars, but there's a left-handed guitar just the way you string it

Look at the musicians.

They're actually backwards

like Like the knobs are on the other side like everything is upside down so like a right-handed player would have to turn that guitar upside down to play it, okay?

It's a left-handed fended squire squire is the cheap fender, right?

Yeah,

yeah, I'll give you a

hint.

They're a little more rare than right-handed guitars

And Joe the reason that is a left-handed guitar would you speak up on that for us?

That's because Kurt Cobain was left handed.

Oh, for Christ's sake,

it's okay.

That was totally lost on me.

Michael, I'm gonna go with you.

You've been on it today.

Give me a price.

Okay, so what's the highest we can go?

Highest today is $199.40, 1994.

Oh.

Let's go 125 across

the board 125

the pressure on the band

and the band can't play cuz 125 is correct

I think that should earn you a gift certificate for food.

Yes $40 to

the

the barrel house in Coralville Marguerite in a May $5 classic or flavored margaritas all day all May barrel house in Coralville

Let's just run this back real quick the first guess was

The first number was how much the first price or the first gas price the first price five dollars second price was ten dollars you're an ass

But Michael guesses it nuts on so nice work Michael hang on the line for

just a

second We're gonna get your information Michael so I can get you that gift certificate We'll have more with their vomit coming up and

Play in Studio Acoustic.

We'll do it next on The Rock 108 Morning Show.

Nervomit is our guests.

They're going to be at Tailgaters along with Stone Age Queens tomorrow night in Cedar Rapids.

9 o'clock show.

All the details at nervomit.com.

A tribute to Nirvana.

Now, the guys are going to play acoustically for us.

And are we getting about a girl?

All right.

Take it away, gentlemen.

Good morning.

This is off our first record.

Most people don't own it.

I need an easy friend I do With aitude and I do Thank you for this you I do

But you have a clue to take you that inch while You hang me out to try that I can't see you every night free I do I'm standing in your light I do hope you have the

I do keep a number two.

I do keep a date with you.

I'll take you to the vintage realm.

You hang me out to drive and I can't see.

about you.

Yeah Nervomits in studio from Iowa City playing tailgaters tomorrow night about a girl right here Joe Dan and boots joining us and we'll find out a little bit more about the band and where you can find them on social media We'll do that after kill switch and gauge.

Okay, so kill switch engage is called I believe on rock 108 Brian Marshall with Nervomits We got Joe Dan and boots in here.

I have to congratulate you guys on your cover of about a girl

Because I know that there was another band that had played it at one time acoustically puddle the mud

and

It didn't turn out so great.

I mean maybe for West I I don't know but When you play that song and now you're playing you know Kurtz music and you're doing it acoustically What did you feel when you're doing that live Joe?

I'll lean on you a

little bit and nostalgia the unplugged version was

One of the things that really got me into them.

I really liked the brash kind of punk rock aspect of it But once they did the unplugged one that was the thing that really got me sold on Nirvana That song in particular with that being the opening track is the one that I've heard eight trillion times.

Yeah So with you guys not only are you playing tailgaters tomorrow?

You guys got shows coming up.

Let's let's highlight some of those.

Yeah, so

The following week and we have a show at poopies and that's in Savannah, Illinois.

I believe.

Yeah.

And we're going to be playing that with fresh fighters, which is a Cedar Rapids.

Yeah.

The best Foo Fighters tribute in the Midwest.

Hands down, we've played with them guys a bunch, and we're looking forward to that show.

Yeah, we're pretty friendly with

those fights.

That one and this one both.

We're going to be doing electric and acoustic.

So we're going to throw the whole kitchen sink at you guys.

Has Jeremy and Boots ever traded spaces?

So where Jeremy has to play drums

in

Bootspot, and then you have to go up and sing Boots?

No.

I can't carry a tune in a bucket.

We're trying to sell tickets

here.

You know, on top of that too,

you guys, you do original music at all?

Yeah, yeah.

Boots and Iron original band, actually, and that band's called Wooz.

Wooz?

Yeah, Wooz, W-O-O-Z.

Woo!

There

you go, like Rivalry 16 time world champion.

Woo!

What's that, what's Wooz like?

Wooz is, it's not too far off from Nirvana, I would think.

It's original rock music, kind of alternative.

We kind of,

are on the, we bend over towards the side of maybe more eclectic rock.

We kind of lean into influences like, I mean, there's no divana thing there, but like bands like Ween or The Beatles or, you know, where it's like, we're a little more free to just do more than just one thing.

Does that make sense?

It does.

And then it means boots.

You don't have to carry a tune.

You just have to get your voice up really high to do push little daisies by Ween.

I

actually do.

I do think one of the tunes includes.

He

does.

It's my personal favorite.

We use his not being able to carry a tune to the advantage of the song.

You're the Lou Reed.

OK, I got you.

I love it.

Nervomit.

We got Joe Dan and Boots here.

Where can they find you guys online?

Well, there's Nervomit.com.

You can go there.

And I mean, that'll lead you to Facebook or YouTube, Instagram.

All of our socials are just at Nervomit.

Yeah.

Cause we're the only Nervom it really out there.

So he barfed it up all over the social media.

It's totally

filled with puke gentlemen.

Thanks for being on the show here today.
