Last year I saw you at Jera and left the pit bleeding. I'm in my 40s and it was the first time since years I went in the pit and got injured. It's a compliment. It was really crazy.
I just wanna thank Connie for being as open as she is about her struggles with shit from drugs to mental health. It’s nice to be reminded people struggle with the same exact things you do with the same outlook on things. It’s kind of validating and doesn’t make me feel so alone.
@@shawnradke eat shit transphobe and worry about your own life instead of taking out your misery and judgement on other people who have no effect on you.
as a trans guy whos only really only out as trans online and with my friends, it makes me so emotional in a really good way to see a trans woman in heavy music whos open about her identity like its kinda almost crazy to me . i love trans ppl so much queers forever
And not a single asshole comment either so far. I'm happy that modern* extreme metal in general isn't full of that many bigots compared to other subgenres. @@ireworks2007
Not trans myself, but am bi/pan/queer (take your pick lol, I'm fine with any) - even as someone under the LGBTQ+ umbrella, Connie Sgarboasa makes me really hopeful for civilization to leave us the hell alone sooner or later.
Saw SYSC w/ Counterparts and Connie did a part with the opener and her voice FLOOOOORED me. Unhinged in the absolute best way possible. Fan ever since. Endlessly fascinating episode!
When i was first introduced to Seeyouspacecowboy I was not a fan. Not that it was bad. Just not for me. That was years ago. A few months ago I went back and listened to it all again. And I really liked it. Point is, hell yeah.
sometimes you just ain't got the taste developed for it. i know there's quite a few bands out there that bounced off me initially but when i came back 'round to em after a few years they became some of my favorites. however you discover your love for the music doesn't matter, just as long as you love the music
I love how much she preaches for her beliefs, fighting people who disrespect her or her values, not taking threats, taking action, i fucking love that, amazing fucking band with loud and proud beliefs, SYSC forever🙏🙏
I love that you have Connie on the Podcast! She's kinda making me feel more comfortable being openly trans in the core scene wich is hard tbh. But I love SYSC! Saw them with The Amity Affliction in Hamburg earlier this year and it was so cool!
@@therealcleany Sorry for reviving an old comment, but felt like commenting on this. I think it depends where the person is from. Not just where in the US or whatever, but overall. I am from Eastern Europe, and you would think that metalcore or hardcore shows would have more open minded people, but not really. The whole country overall is pretty hostile towards trans people and LGBT. You are pretty much guaranteed to get harassed at shows and stuff. I skip out on some shows sometimes because I simply do not have the energy to deal with that. Hell, even the booking agencies organizing the shows here are transphobic. x.x
I've been to hundreds of shows, plenty with trans people. I don't know how you can argue that shows are, on average, hostile towards people who are LGBT.
I can definitely remember the bass aerial trick, so it's for sure working lmao. I actually bought tickets to a show because of Dayseeker, and then looked up SYSC because the name was so out there, and then became a fan right then. Fantastic show!
Great ep, can't believe I missed it when if first came out but I'm going down a SYSC rabbit hole after seeing them in Melbourne on the hottest weekend we've had this summer. Was a fantastic intimate gig, the venue went off and their performance was killer!
Loved the convo, two bands I love a lot. Really appreciated the political aspect of the convo. Adored SYSC's latest and agree with Connie about keeping hardcore, hardcore. Tender queers stand in the back, this is a contact sport
1:06:50 @decodingtheunknown shoutout Simon!! BTW Connie if you like Simon & his coldreads & are into true crime he has another RUclips/podcast called The Casual Criminalist & it's hilarious with the exact same premise!! i think you'll love it
YO, From A Second Story Window have a reunion show coming up! SO stoked! For sure would go to Connie Fest, fucking PTW and OG Modest Mouse would be sick.
Dude idk how i just found your podcast you talk to allll the cool metal people. Connies the best... "if i go to a beatdown show im gonna be crowd killing" also edit here for neurodiverse folk like myself: research lithium orotate. Minimal toxicity and very effective for anxiety and mania
Incredible episode!! I laughed so hard at the story of the realization after all the death threats from goodnight alt right and you go on stage and the would be assassin’s know exactly where you’ll be up on a stage and they are all just fuckin pussies hahahaha
Really enjoy the pod and SYSC - saw them open for Knocked Loose in late 2019 and they smashed it. Connie seems cool, but I'm just totally lost and mystified at the crowd killing stuff. Seems kind of nuts to be bragging about breaking other people's noses. Otherwise, good stuff.
Nah that crowd killing shit is LAME. It's not "cool" or "hard" to physically injure people at a show. One misplaced hit and you've killed someone. Nothing good about it at all.
Love Hardcore music, hate seeing crowd kills or spin kicks....dumb shit usually. I get it , I get it, it's part of the scene. It adds nothing to the sound though.
Absolute L take about crowdkilling. We go to shows to have a good time, not to have a dumb4ss break our nose. Accidents happen, but crowdkilling is never okay. F that.
@@TheHaggis0451not defending the misgender if they did it on purpose but to be fair I call girls dude all the time. I use dude as a gender neutral term.
Broken relationship with his biological father. It would be very interesting to ask trans people about this important fact in their foundation. My heart breaks for him. Thankful he has an outlet for his mental condition.
First off, Craig brace for this extreme ass kissing lmfbo!😂 2nd, ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY LOVE the DOWNBEAT, STRAY FROM THE PATH & of fuckin course your drumming & HUGE inspiration in my drumming! 3rd...Taking care of my job as a HUGE fan helping support both & just bought a couple downbeat & Stray T's! 4th, Keep shredding the piss out of every stage you dudes step foot on & keep the podcast episodes coming in rapid succession! Skies the limit, Craig! You absofuckinglutely deserve EVERYTHING that comes your way, my brotha! 🤘😝🤘
Thanks for having me 🖤
Saw you guys on the Silverstein tour. Such a fan. You guys brought back my younger years with also giving me more of what I like now. Beautiful stuff.
Yall killed it in winnipeg
Last year I saw you at Jera and left the pit bleeding. I'm in my 40s and it was the first time since years I went in the pit and got injured.
It's a compliment. It was really crazy.
I love you so Much
Connie you're F****** rad I've been a fan since the first time I heard Late December. That and my old ass is a Cowboy Bebop fan.
I just wanna thank Connie for being as open as she is about her struggles with shit from drugs to mental health. It’s nice to be reminded people struggle with the same exact things you do with the same outlook on things. It’s kind of validating and doesn’t make me feel so alone.
its a dude
@@shawnradke eat shit transphobe and worry about your own life instead of taking out your misery and judgement on other people who have no effect on you.
Connie’s stage presence is unmatched.
Saw her at N,N Tour Dallas and instantly became obsessed
as a trans guy whos only really only out as trans online and with my friends, it makes me so emotional in a really good way to see a trans woman in heavy music whos open about her identity like its kinda almost crazy to me . i love trans ppl so much queers forever
queers forever!! im a trans girl too, so i look up to connie as an idol, shes so cool tho
queers forever!!!
seeing this comment with so many likes makes me so happy

Connie is an absolute delight and an icon. Thank you for introducing her to people who may have never heard her or her band
Her?
@@StatsReset Yes, she's trans
My jaw has been dropping to like the past 5 guests i love this podcast.
Saw SYSC w/ Counterparts and Connie did a part with the opener and her voice FLOOOOORED me. Unhinged in the absolute best way possible. Fan ever since. Endlessly fascinating episode!
Saw them on this tour too. They in many ways stole the show

Thank you for the episode! I enjoyed it very much, Connie is cool AF

You didn't feel comfortable in the core scene? I feel sorry for you. I'm in quite a big local scene and everyone is open to anything.

Absolutely love how dpwn to earth she is, what a legend. Definitely checking them out as I've not heard much
hearing Connie talk about their new album has me SO STOKED.
I can definitely remember the bass aerial trick, so it's for sure working lmao. I actually bought tickets to a show because of Dayseeker, and then looked up SYSC because the name was so out there, and then became a fan right then. Fantastic show!
connie and sysc are so slept on, one of my favorite bands
Great chat! Loved hearing all those old band names come up, massively nostalgic.
hearing her talk about the new album gets me so hype
I'm so hyped for the new album from way Connie's describing it, I can't wait!
the punkrockmba callout lets gooooooooo
where
somehow missed this - where in the pod?
Here a year later, also wondering where the hell this was
Mad respect for Connie, what an amazing person. Great interview Craig (as usual).
Connie is a straight up legend and an inspiration, speaking especially as a trans woman in the scene myself.
Just saw seeyouspacecowboy last night and they absolutely killed it
That heather(?) hoodie isnt in your merch store. I want it. Amazing interview btw. She is so engaging.
This is sic, i just recently got into seeyouspacecowboy i saw that and i luv cowboy bebop!
Also if you need money you should not privatize you're live streams. Just found you and got kicked because *shock I just found you out.
I got something for ya too homie
Great ep, can't believe I missed it when if first came out but I'm going down a SYSC rabbit hole after seeing them in Melbourne on the hottest weekend we've had this summer.
Was a fantastic intimate gig, the venue went off and their performance was killer!
Cool episode!
I've been looking forward to this one for a long time. SYSC is fucking awesome and it was a great episode!
Craig you’re on a fucking roll with these guests especially lately!
Connie seems like such a genuine person
Hi hello. I’m here to request Colin Young as a guest. It would possibly end up as the most entertaining episode in podcast history.
I've just noticed the Downbeat Coffee Club sign. I am blind and it's probably been there for ages, but that is sick.
Loved the convo, two bands I love a lot. Really appreciated the political aspect of the convo. Adored SYSC's latest and agree with Connie about keeping hardcore, hardcore. Tender queers stand in the back, this is a contact sport
I got a picture with them, and saw them live at The Rave here in Wisconsin
new band for me, thank you for this, wicked
1:06:50 @decodingtheunknown shoutout Simon!! BTW Connie if you like Simon & his coldreads & are into true crime he has another RUclips/podcast called The Casual Criminalist & it's hilarious with the exact same premise!! i think you'll love it
This reminded me I gotta grab my ticket for them next month
Connie is such a legend
Subscribed! Great content, I love your attitude and love for the music, and Connie is just fantastic. Doggie!
i love the pendulum quote. connie is so wise
Connie is so fucking rad, she's awesome
the based podcast, ty for this
Connie is a badass. SYSC is sick live too. Cant wait for the new record it sounds wild
Love space cowboy great chat you two had mate🤘🏽
I cant blame anyone for wanting to go to the Raein reunion over SYSC... still a diehard SYSC fan until I die tho!
Saw SYSC on the Silverstein tour and they were fucking amazing. Connie goes fucking hard she was bleeding and no idea how she just goes hard 🤘🏽
Connie is a true fucking G for her willingness to throw hands on sight in the face of disrespect.
Craig is my new found love , Thanks to the Steve Judd Episode. Thanks mate !! LOVE THIS SHIT NOW !!
Queen!
YO, From A Second Story Window have a reunion show coming up! SO stoked! For sure would go to Connie Fest, fucking PTW and OG Modest Mouse would be sick.
the ottawa show from the silverstien show was fucking awesommmmeeeee
Almost turned off the pod when Craig said he doesn't like cheese. I can't handle that level of blasphemy.
Great pod cast! People i actually agree with!
this is excellent
Displate - if you're reading this, we know what a Displate is, we listen to podcasts, alright? We get it.
Amazing podcast as always
thank u for this!! sysc is such an important band to me
raein as in the screamo band? Love them
What a lovely human being

connie is fuckin badass, love SYSC
im trying to figure out which "dillinger"-like song it was she was talking about on the new album
Connie 😍😍😍😍
are those underoath headphones?? Where can I got them?
can't tell if you're trolling or not but its just the company "RODE"
such a killer band.

never clicked so fast
Connie is adorable, I enjoyed very much ❤
🤘🎸
Does this boost the algorithm if it's still private?
it does not, but now it's live if you reply to me then boosty boosty. appreciate you
@@deadsoulxiii boosty booosty
Think its called Mono in glasgow, amazing vegan fish and chips and i didnt even like fish when i ate meat!
connie is just the fuckin coolest
Connie rules. Would love to see SYSC in Australia sometime.
wait...Raein got back together??
i fucking love SeeYouSpaceCowboy and every member ♥️
Incredible episode!! I laughed so hard at the story of the realization after all the death threats from goodnight alt right and you go on stage and the would be assassin’s know exactly where you’ll be up on a stage and they are all just fuckin pussies hahahaha
What band is the blonde hair guy in
Wow it’s so refreshing to see the support in the comments. 💜🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
Never hard of SeeYouSpaceCowboy, Jeesuschrist they sound tight as piss!
The painted drumhead ala Duplantier tho
from the man himself
I'm not a big fan of SYSC musically, just not my sound, but Connie is an inspiration to me as a trans woman in heavy music
1:22:11
48:00
Really enjoy the pod and SYSC - saw them open for Knocked Loose in late 2019 and they smashed it. Connie seems cool, but I'm just totally lost and mystified at the crowd killing stuff. Seems kind of nuts to be bragging about breaking other people's noses. Otherwise, good stuff.
Talk to luana dametto. Shes from a near city from me
I love Connie but It's sad how intoxicated she has been, and she's only 28 😑
36:20 Nah, that's just dumb.
part. of. hardcore.
about the only bit I disagree with, crowd killing does not equate to not stepping up.
Nah that crowd killing shit is LAME. It's not "cool" or "hard" to physically injure people at a show. One misplaced hit and you've killed someone. Nothing good about it at all.
Love Hardcore music, hate seeing crowd kills or spin kicks....dumb shit usually. I get it , I get it, it's part of the scene. It adds nothing to the sound though.
You gotta *do it* to get it. It's a contact sport
make metalcore hardcore again, this is gospel
You flew to do a slew… I nearly did a poo…
Absolute L take about crowdkilling. We go to shows to have a good time, not to have a dumb4ss break our nose. Accidents happen, but crowdkilling is never okay. F that.
smart girl
Love the music but I disagree with the whole cop bit. Some of those dudes put their lives on the line to help strangers and that is commendable.
acab. police as an institution exist to defend capital, its hoarded wealth and its interests
Trans btw
okay?
just two dudes having a drink, talking about politics. nice.
you had to misgender her like really
So you've sat through this podcast, listened to what's been spoken about and still decided to misgender her?
I'm a dude
He's a dude
She's a dude
We're all dudes, HEY!

Broken relationship with his biological father. It would be very interesting to ask trans people about this important fact in their foundation. My heart breaks for him. Thankful he has an outlet for his mental condition.
being blatantly transphobic makes you look bad
