(soft rock music) - We met each other in high school at Southwest in Minneapolis.

I think we met like the day before my first day, a mutual friend connected us, and then we took driver's ed together and he gave me some CDs, some burned Elliot Smith CDs.

A burned copy of "All Things Must Pass."

I think we both kind of were into like punk rock music sort of.

- Yeah.

- And I remember, I feel like I saw your band.

- Well yeah, at that point we were both in different bands through high school and we were buds, we had mutual friends and then it was kinda like, "Hey I heard 'Country Queen' demo."

And I was like whoa, I really, I wanna say I was on that record, you know the first one.

And it's like, these songs are awesome.

- I play bass.

- You don't have a bass on the track.

And I was like, well the organ does the bass though.

We don't need bass.

- And I was like, but maybe you do need a bass.

- Yeah, you did.

I remember too, telling you a lot.

I was like, yeah, can you do this though?

I was kind of like critical.

- Yeah.

I was like, "Just give me a chance."

- But now I just let you do whatever you want.

- Thank you man.

And 15 years later, here we are.

- This next one, this is kind of where the band name comes from.

Seger rules.

We all know this, but it really comes from this song.

And this was the first song that I wrote kind of for this band that I was like, "OK, this is something new."

It's essentially a lyric in the second verse.

So you'll pick that up.

And this one's it's called "Country Queen" by the way.

So Taking us back.

This is on our first record.

♪ Someday you'll know that ♪ You just won't let in ♪ You just won't let in ♪ Light through your canyon eyes ♪ ♪ Like old times, you'll forget ♪ ♪ And it's what like you want me to ♪ ♪ Move, come on lady, dance ♪ For everyone you know ♪ You just won't let them ♪ You just won't let them ♪ With those holes in your vest ♪ ♪ And those pearls on your chest ♪ ♪ We always knew we'd catch ♪ The very end of our own death ♪ ♪ And you said that we'd be done ♪ ♪ And you said that I'm the one ♪ ♪ Who knows ♪ So sister where'd you think you'd run away ♪ ♪ So far to tell me about your one brittle dream ♪ ♪ So I wish I'd fallen by your wander ♪ ♪ Caught by your spell I've fallen under ♪ ♪ So sister where'd you think you'd run away?

♪ ♪ I'm falling faster, all our family ♪ ♪ Now I'll follow you ♪ Night moves, night moves us ♪ Oh says it moves us too ♪ So sister's golden eye ♪ Won't lie ♪ Gone with the golden stare ♪ So right ♪ Well know ♪ It's just a fever ♪ Like a country queen ♪ All her rhymes I've seen ♪ She's seen my whole life ♪ And ran with me ♪ In and out of dreams ♪ Oh I fell between ♪ Ooh, come done, come around ♪ I'm walking out ♪ In the morning ♪ I do deeply ♪ While in staying right at home ♪ ♪ While in staying right at home ♪ (people cheering) - "Country Queen," that was like a big one for us, 'cause it was the first like new song of this new thing.

Yeah, and also the namesake of the band.

I don't know, I think I was just trying to write the lyrics at first and I just had a couple lines and Night Moves is in the second verse.

I felt really good about that verse and I thought maybe the song could be called Night Moves.

And then it was like well obviously can't do that 'cause of the Bob Seger song.

And then we thought well maybe that can be the title of the record.

This new record of this new band that we have no name for.

And then we were playing some Halloween show at the Kitty Cat Klub and then it was like let's just be called Night Moves for this.

I think I was dressed up as a nun and he was a hot dog.

This was I think in 2010.

So people, we were still, we didn't have a record out and I don't know, you just get shows after that.

People are like well we have a Tuesday night at Honey or something Do you want to play there?

And we're like, yeah.

I mean I guess just bill us as Night Moves.

Yeah, and in fact when we did get signed, the label was like, "You have to change your name."

And we tried for I think a month and a half to come up with new names.

The one, "Cream Sleeve," that was the one that was like next in line and I mean I love that name but everyone was like, this is far too sexual.

And I was like, it's fine.

It's like Steely Dan or Pink Floyd, like subtle innuendo.

But people were like, it's not subtle at all.

You can't name your band "Cream Sleeve."

And I see the light on it now, but there were so many bad ones.

- There's so many bad ones.

- Cream sleeve though.

That was pretty good.

- We came very, very, very close.

- Alright, the next one it's called "Colored Emotions."

(people cheering) And all I can say about this one is that the genesis was written in the basement here.

So that's something that's something for the yearbook you can tie into this.

♪ Don't say when it just us a colored emotions ♪ ♪ Won't hide, but it's justice that colored emotions ♪ ♪ Cause it's the feeling that I'm getting that's over ♪ ♪ And its just feels so right ♪ Because I'm missing still I'm listening when persuasion ♪ ♪ As I'm combing through the ties♪ ♪ Don't lie, because I'm feeling like I ♪ ♪ I once had in the night ♪ And it was you, slow healing is just because ♪ ♪ of long devotion running on ♪ of long devotion running on ♪ I was thinking that maybe I'd take a ride out of town ♪ ♪ In the night ♪ Just to see a couple of friends ♪ ♪ I once knew - say goodbye (people cheering) - Sure is nice being back at 7th St Entry.

It's been a long time.

- Oh I don't know.

Thanksgiving 2018, that's what we deduced.

- Halloween, yeah, right.

One of those.

I think we wore those pantyhose on our heads at that point.

And I was crowd surfing.

- Yeah.

Yep.

We got a new track.

This one came out a couple years ago.

It's called "Fallacy Actually."

We recorded this at Pachyderm.

It's in Cannon Falls.

♪ Untimely innuendo ♪ Caught me off the tempo ♪ Miles outside of Detritus Lane ♪ ♪ Postal codes you're changing ♪ Late to life derangement ♪ Stopped trying to love you anyway I can ♪ ♪ 'Cause it's all lies ♪ The plastic faces in the phone lines ♪ ♪ The hand I'm searching ♪ What are you afraid of then?

♪ I want to tell you, but it's all I know ♪ ♪ If I could see you again ♪ The hand that holds you ♪ Well, it's all I talk about ♪ Yes, I've known nothing new ♪ Fictitious fluctuating ♪ Selling me a generation ♪ All the while tempting and killing me with patience ♪ ♪ All night ♪ The vacant notion that I'll cut ties ♪ ♪ The hand I am searching ♪ What are you afraid of then?

♪ I think about it that it's all I've known ♪ ♪ If I could see you again ♪ And I could feel it ♪ But I'm well out of time ♪ Feel you again if I could ♪ All night ♪ The vacant notion of the city lights ♪ ♪ The vacuum faces of the phone lines ♪ ♪ Vapid coast ♪ Steeped in the ebb and flow ♪ New era, same joke ♪ It wasn't that long ago ♪ If I could see you, but I'm well out of time ♪ ♪ But we could talk about ♪ In sweet nothings of all I've known ♪ ♪ See you again if I could ♪ Well I'd adore you ♪ But we're all out of time ♪ And that is nothing new - As I'm getting older, it's something I'm trying to get away from is like not being too married to these demos and maybe having them be more of a sketch.

First time you hear something, where you're like, "I cracked the code on this song," and yeah you years go by and you listen back.

You're like, oh the album version is way better than the demo version.

- Yeah, I love it when it makes you just wanna listen to it again - Lasting quality where you don't get sick of it, that's really important.

- Kind of cool, I feel like the time we grew up, you'd hear something on the radio and you would just hope to hear it again, you know?

And nowadays it's just like, oh yeah, I'll just put it on a repeat on Spotify - kind of growing up back then and actually having to just wait and think about a song.

- Yeah, there's a magic to that that I think is not, - In existence.

- It's probably in some other variation that we're just too old to like glean.

- Too old to understand, TikTok.

- There's gotta be that.

But you know, yeah that's special when you like yearn after hearing that song.

- And like rushing to like push record on the cassette player when it's on the radio.

But you miss the first 20 seconds so you get used to the song without the beginning of it and you're like, like, yeah, I don't even know how it starts, but I love it.

Or it cuts off before the end of it.

- Yeah, it was nice having that.

- Really just to think about it.

Think about music.

- I always get asked like why "Carl Sagan" is a song of ours is called that.

And back then I was just really into the like the Cosmos series and I had a bad habit of when I had a new song idea I would just title it something distinct that I could like vary it from other tracks in my, like on my computer.

So I just named it "Carl Sagan," always intending to rename it and that that was also supposed to be on the 'Colored Emotions' record but it wasn't right at the time.

And then I guess like six years later we finally recorded it for a second record and by that time I couldn't like get my head out of calling it anything else.

It's not necessarily like an homage to Carl Sagan, full homage, you know?

But I remember thinking, oh this was, this came really easy.

Well see the funny thing is is like writing it maybe 15 minutes, 20 minutes to put it together.

So it came that quick, but then I mean six years of sitting on it and being like, it's not good enough, dah, dah, dah.

And I don't know why or how but a lot of them take like weeks, months, years to put together.

But that, I was just satisfied.

♪ I'm a fool in repeating my plans ♪ ♪ And a fools right calling my name ♪ ♪ I'm a fool to relate to you with all the things I do ♪ ♪ and say ♪ Am I a fool to ignore them?

with them and we love them and they just put out a new record that they have at their booth.

- They've been friends of ours since way back.

- We got along really well with them on tour and it was just when this opportunity came along it was like, well let's keep it going.

I think you're a great fit and the music is complimentary.

It's got this spacey like sort of cosmic quality and it also has just got some good pop sensibility.

There's good hooks and yeah, just good songwriting.

I always say dreamy.

I think that a lot of, and correct me if I'm wrong, 'cause I know you write the lyrics, but a lot of the lyrics so far have sort of dwelled on a theme of not belonging or searching for a place to belong.

That feeling of floating through life more than like being in life.

And I feel like the music can kind of be that way too where it's ethereal.

I wanna hope that people can't even necessarily tell what instruments are moving in and out as it's happening.

It all just kind of blends together.

- This was the first time we have played in Minneapolis as Shady Cove.

It was really nice to come home and share the latest project and all of the songs that we've been working on for the past few years.

And the first show I ever played in my whole life was at 7th St.

So it was kind of like a nostalgic to be back there.

- It's been nine or 10 years since I've played a show there.

- Everything's the same.

- Everything's the same.

There was one PBR in the green room fridge, everything smelled the same.

It felt like coming home in a way to like a, to a memory.

It was really cool.

It was appropriate to do it with Night Moves because I mean the band is still so new, but they took us out all over the country and for them to bring us home to play was just, it was right.

♪ Sunlight patterns pour through blinded window ♪ ♪ Same tomorrow ♪ Without a road to run to ♪ Moonlight chasing empty rooms with ♪ ♪ The scenery will never change ♪ ♪ And the way that you feel stepping out on the stage ♪ ♪ There isn't a crowd ♪ They all went home ♪ Got the place to yourself ♪ And you're fine on your own ♪ A little less than everything ♪ ♪ You were the best ♪ I ever had to have to try forever ♪ ♪ Wasting time and all my life with ♪ ♪ The scenery will never change ♪ ♪ And the way that you feel stepping out on the stage ♪ ♪ There isn't a crowd ♪ They all went home ♪ Got the place to yourself ♪ And you're fine on your own ♪ A frightening fantasy ♪ Your fingers crossed you're taking off soon ♪ ♪ A letter just for me ♪ If I can be then let me be this ♪ ♪ Old scenery will never change ♪ ♪ And the folks on the street, they remember my name ♪ ♪ A face in the crowd ♪ Yet I'm all alone ♪ Find a place for myself ♪ 'Cause I'm fine on my own ♪ The secrets that you never heard ♪ ♪ And the words in my head singing to empty rooms ♪ ♪ I never wrote ♪ You heard i made it though ♪ Got the place to myself ♪ And I'm fine on my own (people clapping) - I knew both the Sarahs probably 15 years ago, specifically, like going to your practice space and hanging out.

And that's something that like, I don't think we would do like just go hang out at someone's practice space.

But when you're like 19 or 20 or 17 or whatever, it's like hang out and listen to records and like maybe play music but maybe just like hang out.

- During that time was kind of special, 'cause there were a few different warehouse spaces and people were always throwing like house parties.

We were all playing shows that weren't just at venues but in like weird art spaces.

- And stuff that went all night.

- Yeah.

Yeah.

- There's 13 bands playing until 4:00 AM and that's cool.

- I mean those spaces were insanely formative for me.

I remember like two or three times a week there were shows constantly happening and bands and meeting people and other people that were in bands and hearing new music touring bands would come through.

You'd hang out with them after they finished playing.

You'd have connections in weird new towns.

- Did you guys ever go to that space that has like the Jesus mural on the side?

- Love power?

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

- Summer days we wrote about that building.

- Cool.

- I was kind of thinking about like party ghosts I guess which is like versions of yourself that might still be stuck in these weird spaces that you've been in, but that building specifically.

'Cause I feel like there must be just some party ghosts in there.

A lot of the time you tour you just have a local opening act and it's cool, but it's maybe cooler to bring a friend with or friends with and hang out every day and listen to 'em play every night.

You know?

I remember early on Sarah Rose though, kind of mentioning like, "Yeah, so my favorite song of your set's Feel Another Day."

Well yeah.

And I think she kinda mentioned like, "Hey I know the lyrics."

- I think I was hinting at it - And I was like, no.

And I was totally down for it.

But I would never be like "You're gonna come up and you're gonna do this thing."

Without someone's, and then I was like, really?

She does, are you does she mean that?

Yeah, no it was, it was cool.

And then so it went so well that that's why you're about to see what you're gonna see.
