and that ’ s one block from where we live . It was being overrun with COVID-19 cases , and we couldn ’ t even go out the door and

go there , just to see what was going on . So we ’ d just open up another can of beans and turn back to the TV .

IE : Photos of your Chimp Factory rehearsal space make it seem like it was decorated by Steve Martin , circa The Jerk . “ I don ’ t need anything but this ashtray … and this lamp … and this ottoman …” WYNN : Yes , it is like that . I ’ m sitting here looking at it now . But because we couldn ’ t go to clubs and see the things we love , we just kind of created our favorite club here . And ever since lockdown , people have

been finding new hobbies , like baking bread or whatever . And Linda threw herself into decorating this place . So I ’ m sitting here in kind of a combination Casbah den , ‘ 60s psychedelic place , and vintage gear shop , all in one 14 ’ X20 ’ space . And that ’ s going to help us put these shows on because it ’ s gonna turn into a cocktail lounge and a snack bar , too . But for some people during the pandemic , things just went on as usual . Some people still had their jobs . But for musicians , I ’ ve seen some people who play music just stop and do nothing , while others recorded a lot of

stuff and put it up on Bandcamp . I mean , Taylor Swift made two entire albums , and I think that ’ s great . And I myself paint , so Idid a lot of paintings and sold some of those , and I actually had four records out last year , Dream Syndicate and solo stuff , so that gave me the feeling that I was really doing stuff . And then we did 30 shows from our apartment , but it ’ s not the same thing as doing regular gigs because usually you rock out , say a few words , and then get to hang out after the shows . These upcoming shows will be almost like hosting parties , and all the talking and the stories and the connections that we ’ ll make
