You will hop. we're dancing and we're dancing around and we're dancing and we're dancing around in the club all the night. You come up with this idea to kind of infuse uh kind of island music with British electronica and it was I don't know, it seemed like a very far-fetched idea. Just I I think that the idea that there was this whole other genre of music that went beyond, you know, just Bob Marley's hits or whatever. Where did the where did the name Black Cards come from?

You know, having been in a band, you kind of realized that almost every name is bad.

Right.

I did like a lot of um in high school, I did like, um, I guess you call them the musicals and then I was like in a wedding band for a little while, but like yeah.

A little bit different than.
