Tony DeMarco uh Dan DeMarco I'm retired

he's retired uh but we work do our jobs

just to survive which we have to do but

at one time or another these buildings

which was known as spr electric was the

sole income for this town what they made

was electrical capacitors 14 to 20,000

people worked here at one time or

another oh there was a big strike

outside it was not pleasant vehicle

getting burned we had scabs and

everything that were crossing over it

wasn't a good scene at all and it was in

the dead of

winter so him and I both walked the

picket lines and we had barrels with

fires just to keep warm and bundled up

and it lasted for the strike what about

4 months after that point that's when

everything just went downhill from there

so it just just fell apart and then

people just started moving out and we

went from about 40,000 probably to about

16,000 people in a matter of 2 years

time M mocha coming in and all the

artists are the savior of this town

they're a new life

[Music]

blood you can feel the presence of human

beings making things in these factories

for 140 years if you crunch it down a

beautiful event like solid sound is you

know really talented people making new

work right before your eyes I think

people look the opportunity to be close

to where real things get made

there are a lot of really really really

big festivals in the world now but the

big festivals to me

are

ah I don't think they're very

musical you know they're they're

cultural events they're big big cultural

events and they're valuable in in a lot

of ways that I'm not necessarily a part

of I mean the only real desire was to

make a festival that we wouldn't be

miserable at a

thank you anybody else here we go all

right here we go here we go take

them so I live in North Adams and we've

been up here about 13 years

and it was just a town of a lot of low

self-esteem because they've just had a

lot of hits a lot of factories went down

a lot of there just a lot of hits and

this mayor came along uh dick albite who

saw I think the opportunity of of the

festival and he just said to the town

and this is the way he is like we get

text messages when there's too much snow

and me the guy is just generous he said

we've got 8,000 people coming next week

what are you going to do and every

everybody the signage that went up I

mean everybody in Town volunteers for

this uh you know they they take tickets

they sweep the floor they say I'll run

that CD to the merch stand I mean

everybody can't wait to help and I think

everybody feels so grateful that

something has come along like an event

has come along to you

know give them their self-esteem it's

[Music]

yeah actually I was it was my first year

in office it was actually my first

probably month or two in office that Joe

Thompson came to me and and basically

discussed the the festival and and what

this could bring to the city and uh as

soon as he said 5 or 6,000 people I kind

of freaked out my first term as mayor

and you know that's half the size of our

city and how are we going to accomplish

that it's a concert and it's music and

you know you get that all that all these

thoughts going on in your head and um

but we did it

[Music]

[Music]

right before I met you things were

getting pretty

green I was on an UPS swing no I could

hardly hear a thing I was looking up

looking

[Music]

took me several mornings with my throat

in a mangled not sounding out my virtues

and my VI and other thoughts I was

struggling to remember the most recent

things I forgot what I was looking out

look it

out look it out

looking

out when you're

all

on you feel defeated so you call

yourself

lost in

Bur

time you can hear that s it would way

devastating

rain Hur up for waiting more times than

I care to say but it's clearer to us now

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

oh good right car you go

and well we are going to play somewhere

in the neighborhood of like 20 to 25

cover songs that were requested by the

fans on the will website well the

requests we got were I think more

sincere than we really anticipated we

thought there were going to be a lot of

requests for Justin Bieber there are a

lot of serious songs that we're going to

attempt and some that are real serious

undertakings really involved

arrangements and we worked pretty hard

on oh I had to learn a bunch of these

songs I didn't grow up playing in cover

bands so much that's a nice challenge

you know I have worry some of this stuff

is Iconic I've never seen them rehearse

for so many days in a row rehear like 10

hours on Thursday you know you think we

would have started rehearsing a month or

so ago but we started Tuesday so there's

a lot of information crammed into uh all

of our short-term

memory don't leave me hanging on

that ready

D don't you go and cut your hair you

think it's going to make him I'm just a

boy with a new haircut a pretty nice

hair Charing like a puzzle H me wearing

musle look around now the second jum

down telepone s

music seems crazy B start up each and

every day I saw another one just the

other day special new B I remember Li I

don't remember Li I I remember world

that I don't care I care I really don't

care did you see the drama

[Music]

advertising looks and shots of must

no songs mean a lot but songs are B and

so are you face right down to the after

room tensions and F on ker ker ker ker

ker k

we've got a lot of songs that were

heavily requested

this is one of them and we're lucky

enough to have one of the original

members of The Replacements to play it

with us

tonight Tommy Stinson everybody

thinking we thought like if they took

all the factories and made them all into

art museums then everybody could have

lots more fun right nobody would have to

work crappy jobs you know

lots of art how cool would that

[Applause]

[Music]

be to skin doging at the sky

[Music]

by a big red tree called the

[Music]

Leon got on the wall nearly 10t tall

like a chiny surprise in my

[Music]

Su a boy and a girl huging on a step

P Tre s from the right to the

[Music]

left stretched in a tree always you and

me like a Chinese surprise in my suit

[Music]

[Applause]

e

okay ready okay uh this was my

contribution to the solid sound band

installation series is is like a sound

installation it was inspired by trip to

India I took last year taking Rick Shaw

rides there I was just inspired by

Street Sounds in India and I I thought

it would be nice to sort of replicate

something me and my friend Chad girth

who's a really talented artist of put

the mixes together and put the whole

concept together and we've recorded

music mixes on on the BL tape and

ambient Street noises from India and

elsewhere in Asia on the red tape and we

we just ask the the rider to pop these

in put on the

headphones you're driven around North

Adams listening to cool music with

interspersed with Street Sounds I could

give you a ride if you'd

like you ready for a ride sure

[Music]

travel is what I do

basically you know I'm a professional

traveler I don't think anybody's worked

harder played longer

shows played more shows than we have the

last few years so I think people are

ready for just a little bit less touring

there's this fear that when bands go on

hiatus they might never come back I

think we all we all depend on this to a

certain level you know we depend on it

artistically and as a group we you know

we truly really get along and enjoy each

other's

companies we won't we won't be away too

long hey man how you

doing good I can't stop or else I'll

never start again

[Music]

[Music]

she feel the Sun so warm on the back

showing us the golden

path don't you see the swing tree SE the

falling

leaves opens on a shining

trap and I never like to Long

goodbye is it too

late to give

up so I call to you to my

surprise and I knew right away

we would never

[Music]

die there these like you know full boore

Full Throttle beautiful concerts that

take place on on big stages and those

are those are super and transporting but

then you walk around the corner and up

into some Gallery up on the third floor

and you'll come across a a really

beautiful music event that might have 25

people standing around listening to

something that's completely unexpected

and fantastic and I think that that it

just happens everywhere

we're on the road everywhere we play

especially when we play bigger shows

we're a part of that Community for that

the resources of any Community than an

average citizen everywhere we go all

come right the mayor how are you nice to

meet you thank you so much for having us

thank you for being here it's tremendous

we love you here we were having a great

time as usual you want to come back next

weekend we're all set to go let's do it

let's do it SS good and I got to tell

you I told these guys last night you

should be extremely proud of your fan

base oh we are your fan base is uh

they're reasonable decent people

decent nicest people you want to meet

you guys make it really easy you know

I've seem like never get any feeling

that we're

adversarially related you know like

we're not fighting each other

everybody's trying to keep things

working you know I

feel safe

safe I've been mayor for four years and

I'm a lifelong resident of of the city

I've been here 60 years so I've uh seen

everything that was and everything that

is art and culture was just not a piece

of our life growing up here in the city

so again to have it a museum uh having

never really visited many museums in my

life was just uh just kind of an odd

thing and it's taken many people here a

long time to really embrace it but I

really think we're

[Music]

there particular in the United States of

America it's unusual to have people

confronted by challenging art in a very

I think friendly way I think there's

something very unpretentious about all

the different spaces and it's it's not a

white gloves kind of feeling you know

what I mean I think that the more people

are informed uh by Contemporary Art and

the less uh they're afraid of it or

somehow think that it has nothing to do

with them the more uh we're actually

advancing you know we're getting

somewhere I think that's so positive

[Music]

it's at this amazing place and that's a

huge part of it and I don't know if it

would be the same without mass

mocha but it's a it's a true

collaboration between our vision and

Joe's Vision he's like so so good so

good-natured and so inclusive he can

talk in the most

obuse vernacular of a super hoyy toyy

art critic guy and that would normally

make me want to strangle somebody but he

does it in such an inclusive way and not

like oh you know about this it's like

I'm well if you don't know about that

I'm like excited to tell you about it

you like well you know there's there's

no intellectual bully in that guy

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

at risk of uh breaking out a cliche it's

definitely a labor of love first year

the festival lost money and and

everybody had to kind of uh dig into

their pockets and and uh subsidize it a

little bit and then the second

year bit more of a break even

proposition we you know at least came

out even and this year it looks like it

might make a little bit of money but you

know nobody's doing this for financial

reasons that's for

[Music]

[Music]

sure well the amendo Matic stamp mobile

is the flagship of the the Stampede

campaign and that's part of the movement

to pass an amendment to get money out of

politics uh essentially the amendment

says that corporations are not people

and money is not free speech the

Stampede helps build the campaign by

spreading the message on paper currency

so every time you stamp a piece of paper

currency with this message about

amending the Constitution 800 people see

it so you know if you do the math you

know you stamp about five bills a day

for a year and you've hit about a

million people seven Street between

second and third to

[Music]

[Music]

I couldn't catch my

breath it too late to call this

s we can slip

away yeah would that be

better we nothing to

say you and your come sweater

[Music]

[Music]

try to hi myself

CR it's nearly

impossible wait for you almost

patiently we put SLI

away

yeah couldn't that be

better you not say and

[Music]

you you

[Music]

in the

[Music]

beginning we could slip

away we could slip away yeah yeah I be

better be

with nothing to say and you

your you your

you

sweer you awful

swe you and your a swim

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

a

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

to me the biggest problem with the world

is that it's really hard for anybody to

find something they actually love to

do and even harder for them to to get to

do it examples of that I think are

really important to be visible

for everyone uh examples not necessarily

of somebody that followed the dream and

became a big rock star or followed their

dream and got rich but followed their

dream and was and became

fulfilled uh doing something that they

love to do that's the big hurdle to me

and the overall happiness I see in the

world you know it's just it's just not

easy but if you have somebody whose

passion is is birds and and and falconry

and and they're willing willing to come

share that passion with people and maybe

introduce someone to their their world

that just fits in all of that stuff fits

in for us now people what you're going

to see is not our national bird the Bal

eag you're going to see a golden eagle

and I hope because there are some

wonderful lights in this space that you

will see the gold flashes on her head

and on her wings

now

[Music]

watch before she was shot this bird had

a 7ot Wings span and she could take down

something as big as a full grown

Pronghorn anvelope a young deer even a

young black

bear here's a bird that is not common

but it's not uncommon either but it's

very uncommonly

seen when she she's vocalizing and she

sounds like

[Music]

this that sound seems to come from

everywhere and nowhere which if you're a

small owl is a good thing because the

big owls will kill you if they find

[Music]

you we'll just do quick banjo one and

then you can fly on the

[Music]

dragon I got no sugar baby now I got no

honey baby now all I can do seek peace

with you

can't get along this away and make them

Liv in this way I got no sugar baby now

I got no honey baby now who rock that

who sing that song rock the cradle when

I'm gone who rock the cradle When I'm

Gone

now oh rock that I sing that song Oh

rock the cradle when you're g rock the

cradle when you're G I got no sugar baby

now got honey baby now

thank you have a good

[Applause]

afternoon so they're going to be a lot

louder than I thought which is

[Music]

great oh that's cool so I wanted to just

bury some drums and see what it looked

like I don't think judging from my past

installations if we just stretch skin or

hide over it I think it would probably

get trash so I thought it'd be cool to

have two sets of these and we're going

to have a chart of Morse code up here

and where dashes equal the low drum and

dots equal the high drum and a couple

phrases and explanation so people could

in theory if they wanted actually drum

messages to the other set of drums and

drum back and have some sort of weird

conversation are you ready for

us we ready for you

too yes

sir we end for a big time this

evening we want you to let it all hang

out we want you to enjoy

everybody cuz we going higher and

higher can we take a little bit higher

thank you very

much when you're looking at a painting

you aren't like mesmerized by that one

that somebody made it and that's the

part that's that's um inspiring and and

beautiful and as long as there's people

making stuff I think people will always

be able to find the thing that they need

it's their community and and we're kind

of just a part of it something we

couldn't have possibly set out to create

that has been somehow created everyone
