It feels great that we have everyone on board now. Jacob Rubeck: Even if we walked, we’d feel cool that we got to do that. We would drive nine or ten hours just for a day to play a show and that was exciting to us. Nick Rattigan: We would go through hell just to get on a show or play a show. It was insane getting our first real check. Jacob Rubeck: The fact that we would be booked on a show meant more than actually getting paid or whatever for the first couple of years that we started. Nick Rattigan: I remember the first time we got paid for a show-it wasn’t much but it was shocking. High Times Magazine: Was there a moment along your trajectory where you realized you had something special with the group-either as a two-piece or all together? Jacob Rubeck: We were a two-piece and we had people who came and went and then we went on tour with Henry and Noah in 2019 and they’ve just become more and more a part of the band ever since. Nick Rattigan: Well me and Jacob formed the group twelve or more years ago when we were in high school and college and started playing music together. How did you all come together and form the group? High Times Magazine: So you all had an interest at some level in being performers. That led to rhythm guitar and writing songs and it all fell into my lap in a nice way. Jacob Rubeck: I wanted to be a music journalist for the longest time and then I got forced into playing bass guitar. When I was twelve, I wanted to be a bartender and own my own bar. Nick Rattigan: I always wanted to be a musician, but when I was seven, I remember reading this Picasso book and wanting to be an artist. Henry Dillon: Probably ten years old for me. Noah Kholl: I was always set on the idea that I wanted to play music. High Times Magazine: In terms of the music, did you always know you wanted to be performers or were there other paths along the way that led you to the present moment? When we connect over Zoom, the indie group dives into their collective history-from formation to latest record-their creative influences, what fans can expect on Magic Hour, and how cannabis plays a role in their live performances and helps them feel more connected to the music. Hailing from Reno, Nevada, founding members Rattigan and Rubeck have opened themselves up creatively on this record-and with the inclusion of Kohll and Dillon-have delivered a more robust creative color palette than on any of their previous musical numbers. The sleep deprived band is eager to share music from their latest album- Magic Hour-with fans, and their upcoming collection of live shows is positioned to do exactly that. In the beginning stages of their latest tour, Surf Curse (comprised of members Nick Rattigan, Jacob Rubeck, Noah Kohll, and Henry Dillon ) is in Manchester preparing for the tour launch.
