Speaker 1: Scrubbing In with Becca Tilly and Tanya rap An iHeartRadio podcast.
Speaker 2: Hello everybody, we are scrubbing in.
Speaker 3: TIS we are Tis his Tis Actually today is true
Speaker 3: is True, Truth's.
Speaker 2: Truth, trus Truth's because we have a very I guess
Speaker 2: I should say we have very special guests slurle coming
Speaker 2: in today. Easton really introduced us to the band that
Speaker 2: is Trusdale. That is correct.
Speaker 4: They're my favorite band right now. Over the last year, Okay,
Speaker 4: I listened to their album every single day, more than
Speaker 4: more than twenty two I'm sorry, more than Beach Boys,
Speaker 4: more than the Beach Boys, who I love Truesdale so much.
Speaker 4: I found them by searching Beach Boys covers on YouTube
Speaker 4: and I found them doing a cover of Wouldn't It
Speaker 4: Be Nice, which is a very hard song to sing,
Speaker 4: great song, and I was like, oh my god, who
Speaker 4: are these women. Their voices are better than the Wilson brothers.
Speaker 4: I have not heard voices like theirs in forever. I've
Speaker 4: never heard voices that good. So I went back and
Speaker 4: found their older stuff and I was like, Oh my god,
Speaker 4: they're so good.
Speaker 2: And You're like, we have to have them on the podcast.
Speaker 4: And I went and saw them live and they talk
Speaker 4: about how they produced their own music and they write
Speaker 4: their own songs and they do all this incredible stuff
Speaker 4: trying to be role models for women in the music industry.
Speaker 1: Women.
Speaker 4: I was like, Oh, we gotta get them on scrubbing in,
Speaker 4: get them in the ore and there.
Speaker 3: That is where they belong. Yes, and that is where
Speaker 3: they have come, and.
Speaker 2: That is where they have come. The Trusdale band themselves,
Speaker 2: It's Quinn, Georgia and Lauren and they're scrubbing in today.
Speaker 2: So everyone welcome Truesday. Can I just address you as Truesdale? Absolutely? Yes,
Speaker 2: We're so happy to have y'all. It's been a long
Speaker 2: time coming. Easton introduced us to your music. He is
Speaker 2: like such a glorious big fan. I listened to Out.
Speaker 4: Of my Mind your album every day on the way
Speaker 4: to work and the way from home from is not
Speaker 4: an exaggeration. It is a masterpiece.
Speaker 2: So when you introduced me, I obviously have started listening.
Speaker 2: And I, first of all, would you say that Out
Speaker 2: of my Mind is a breakup album? Oh? Not no,
Speaker 2: not intentionally.
Speaker 5: I feel like we had we collected a bunch of
Speaker 5: songs and a lot of them happened to be like breakup.
Speaker 5: I guess yea as two different breakups in my why not?
Speaker 2: Why not?
Speaker 3: Why not?
Speaker 2: Just yes?
Speaker 5: I think because it is just my experience the breakup,
Speaker 5: so I wouldn't say that.
Speaker 6: Yeah, oh yeah, I feel like we also end up
Speaker 6: happened like writing a lot of songs that sound like
Speaker 6: breakup songs, but like the person in question that you're
Speaker 6: being broken up with. I think we play a lot
Speaker 6: with it being like non human things like depression, anxiety,
Speaker 6: like just dealing with stress in your life, or even
Speaker 6: like a relationship with a parent or a friend. I
Speaker 6: think that there's so many different ways that you can
Speaker 6: feel grief in a relationship than a breakup. And I
Speaker 6: think that's kind of like where we all have our
Speaker 6: own meanings that we attached to the songs. I think
Speaker 6: let's talk about those meanings.
Speaker 2: It's to them a little more. So you all went
Speaker 2: to school together, right? But did are y'all all from
Speaker 2: southern California?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 2: I grew up in Michigan.
Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, I was born in upstate New York, but
Speaker 1: mostly from here.
Speaker 2: Okay, So y'all met at school though, Yeah, So as
Speaker 2: a musician, I know nothing about that couldn't be further
Speaker 2: from my life. You go into school wanting to be
Speaker 2: a singer, right, do you ever have this dream of
Speaker 2: it being with other people or do you go thinking
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be a solo artist. That's what I thought.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I definitely never imagined myself in a band with
Speaker 1: like multiple singers.
Speaker 2: Yeah at all.
Speaker 5: Same, Yeah, I didn't even know what I wanted to
Speaker 5: be going there. It was more kind of for me
Speaker 5: it was like, oh, I I'll try this, and then
Speaker 5: going there was like the Yeah, I realized that I
Speaker 5: wanted to do that then and then we all met
Speaker 5: and then the rest is history.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think I always like, I've always enjoyed playing
Speaker 6: with other people, but yeah, I definitely didn't see myself
Speaker 6: like being in a band with two other singers. But then, honestly,
Speaker 6: it's funny looking back, I like really grew up listening
Speaker 6: to a lot of like Peter Paul, Mary from my.
Speaker 2: Mom and dad.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and I was like, oh, that makes sense, Like
Speaker 6: maybe the idea was like planted in me very young.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Georgia and I both grew up doing like musical
Speaker 1: theater and acappella. Yeah, so I feel like harmony was
Speaker 1: in our lives a lot too.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and already like a lot of collaboration.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like team vibe.
Speaker 3: That's the thing I feel like when you're in a group,
Speaker 3: like when you're when you're solo, every decision is your own.
Speaker 3: When you're a group, every decision is a group. So
Speaker 3: there's pros and cons. Definitely, how did I learn to
Speaker 3: like work together and like who gets the final say?
Speaker 1: I think we learned by failing a lot about that,
Speaker 1: you know, like learned from our mistakes with it, and
Speaker 1: we really try to have I mean it depends on
Speaker 1: how important the decision is. Sometimes it is like it
Speaker 1: needs to be a unanimous decision if it's really big,
Speaker 1: and then other times it depends on who feels really
Speaker 1: strongly about what we're talking about. And I think, yeah,
Speaker 1: we it's I don't know, like case by case basis
Speaker 1: of how we make decisions.
Speaker 2: I think it's definitely.
Speaker 6: It's definitely like I had something in my head and
Speaker 6: then I just completely forgot.
Speaker 2: It's like a team effort. I mean, like you're joining
Speaker 2: a team and it's like everyone's opinion is important and
Speaker 2: we have to at least come to some agreement on
Speaker 2: this because when I listened to the album, bad Blood
Speaker 2: is like the obvious start of the app Like, I'm like,
Speaker 2: did they write this ago? This has to start the
Speaker 2: album because as soon as this is it, here we go,
Speaker 2: We're going on a ride.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: It feels like such an opener. It like it did
Speaker 1: yeah pretty early on.
Speaker 6: It's so funny too, because I think that was like
Speaker 6: one of the first songs that we wrote for the
Speaker 6: album yea, And it just so happened that, like on
Speaker 6: the writing trip where we wrote most of these songs,
Speaker 6: that was the first one, and then we had done
Speaker 6: like the NPR live sessions on YouTube, and then it
Speaker 6: came out and I think that just naturally kind of
Speaker 6: like wanted to be yeah, the first song.
Speaker 3: But I feel like we skipped a whole step because
Speaker 3: it was like, Okay, you guys went to school together
Speaker 3: and then we're talking about the album, but like, how
Speaker 3: did you guys form your formed three of you?
Speaker 2: Like, how did that process go? Yeah?
Speaker 5: Well, we all did, I think after college, so we met,
Speaker 5: we started singing together. Laura and I had a songwriting class.
Speaker 5: We just quickly started to write together. We had like
Speaker 5: a writing connection. We wrote this song and then we
Speaker 5: they met in their dorm and then we were all
Speaker 5: on the same program also, so we immediately I remember
Speaker 5: the first time I heard both of them like do
Speaker 5: their thing, and I was like, oh, so blowing away.
Speaker 5: So we all have just so much respect for each
Speaker 5: other as people, as performers and writers arrangers. And then
Speaker 5: we had the song called Dory Meat, which is out.
Speaker 5: It's the first song that we ever wrote together, and
Speaker 5: Quinn came and we sang it together just like tapping
Speaker 5: our legs for our songwriting class in school. And then
Speaker 5: just the reaction of the class was like way, it
Speaker 5: was just really surprising to us all. It was like
Speaker 5: a really.
Speaker 2: Really loving, positive reaction.
Speaker 5: And then we're like, Okay, I guess there's something here.
Speaker 5: And then we kept writing and singing together throughout college.
Speaker 5: We had a lot of support from our professors, which
Speaker 5: I think also kept us going. And then after school
Speaker 5: we all did different things for a bit. We all
Speaker 5: like I did a solo priet for a while, Quinn
Speaker 5: worked on a cruise ship, Lauren worked on her solo project,
Speaker 5: and then we came together we started writing together again,
Speaker 5: and then it just it naturally. Then COVID happened and
Speaker 5: we started to record and Lauren got really into production,
Speaker 5: and that's kind of how we entered into like officially
Speaker 5: doing Truesdale. And then after that did well, we all
Speaker 5: kind of committed to doing it full time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, and where did the name? That was
Speaker 2: my question?
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, so it comes from the name of a
Speaker 6: street that runs through campus of our university, yone Parkway.
Speaker 6: We were sitting on the lawn trying to think of names.
Speaker 6: We were very concerned about it being a name that
Speaker 6: like no one else had, so we would just think
Speaker 6: of a name and then type it into a Spotify.
Speaker 6: Now we can't use that one. Type it in if
Speaker 6: we can't use that one. And then we looked up
Speaker 6: and saw the sign like what about Truesdale.
Speaker 1: Which is funny because there are the Truesdale estates which
Speaker 1: are like well known as like rich.
Speaker 2: Buildings and states.
Speaker 1: I don't know, and so I think that one slipped
Speaker 1: through the crash.
Speaker 6: Were finally committed a few times, but it just like,
Speaker 6: I don't know, nothing else ever felt right.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Our second choice was the Sorrow Sisters, the.
Speaker 6: Sisters, and then we had Carolina Blue Carolina, which is
Speaker 6: like both of those are alter egos at this point exactly.
Speaker 2: So what we're so the ones that you looked up,
Speaker 2: the ones that you looked up on Spotify, what were
Speaker 2: some of those that you were like, Oh, it's already taken.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, my.
Speaker 6: Gosh, wow, I'm sure I could we have a nook.
Speaker 6: I have no idea.
Speaker 2: Though, that'd be really funny.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Destiny's Chops.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: What does Truesdale mean to you?
Speaker 2: Guys? Like the name?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Well, I feel like the.
Speaker 5: Feeling of it, at least to me, and part of
Speaker 5: why we've stuck with it is because it kind of
Speaker 5: feels genrealless, like when you see the name where when
Speaker 5: you hear it, it's like Truesdale. It could be full,
Speaker 5: it could be rock. Yeah, it feels pretty broad and
Speaker 5: it's like a statement. There's no the We also thought
Speaker 5: about that just.
Speaker 1: A word, yeah, and to not like associate it with
Speaker 1: like where three women or a trio or sisters in
Speaker 1: some way of like we're just a band.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think that that also is important. I feel like
Speaker 1: none of us like loved the name, but then we
Speaker 1: were like, oh, but like think about the Beatles, they're
Speaker 1: like bugs and you don't but you don't associate it
Speaker 1: with that at all. These associated with the music, so
Speaker 1: like eventually the name won't sound like anything but what
Speaker 1: people think of with their music.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what it was.
Speaker 6: Your question was so interesting because I was like, whoa,
Speaker 6: I've never even really thought of that before.
Speaker 2: But you know, I go subterranean.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I feel like, you know, even though the name
Speaker 6: comes from USC, I feel like it really when I
Speaker 6: hear the word Trusdale now, I just think of everything
Speaker 6: that we've built and like everything it means to us
Speaker 6: now way more than our where we went to school.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I think we've really just grown to like make it
Speaker 2: our own, right, total, Yeah, your own meaning. Yeah, I
Speaker 2: mean that's You're so right. When I hear the Beatles,
Speaker 2: I don't. I was like, oh that is a bug. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: you just don't. We're like the police. Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's a bit of an odd one, but yeah
Speaker 5: it rocks.
Speaker 2: Yeah. You know, so you all have designated colors. How
Speaker 2: did that was that? Did it? Was it like you
Speaker 2: just kept showing up in the same color and were like,
Speaker 2: should this be our thing? Or what was that intentional?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I feel like we I like never wore green before this.
Speaker 2: And Georgia. I feel like you didn't really wear paying No,
Speaker 2: don't you wear too much.
Speaker 1: But we decided we started getting more colorful before we
Speaker 1: started releasing music, and one of our friends reckoned that
Speaker 1: we go to this place called Big Bud Press that
Speaker 1: has these incredible jumpsuits, and so we started trying on
Speaker 1: different colors and combinations and we just landed on these,
Speaker 1: and then people started associating us, like with the colors.
Speaker 1: I feel like after that of like the pink one, yeah,
Speaker 1: the blue one. So then which kind of stuck with it? Yeah,
Speaker 1: accepted our fate so fun.
Speaker 2: You're like, have you heard of the color analysis?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: You're like, I hope this is my color. Really I
Speaker 2: don't think so. I feel like it is.
Speaker 3: Analysis.
Speaker 5: It's like where they's they you know, like your tone, Yeah,
Speaker 5: are you a winter yeah?
Speaker 2: Summer? Yeah. But I was thinking, I mean, you'll all
Speaker 2: your color compliments you So it was like, did y'all
Speaker 2: do a full test? And like.
Speaker 5: We should have when we tried the jumpsuits on. Part
Speaker 5: of the reason that we picked them was because we
Speaker 5: looked at that we tried so many on we had
Speaker 5: maroon like whatever. Yeah, and then when we looked in
Speaker 5: the mirrors, in the mirrors, in the singular mirror, it
Speaker 5: was a really cool mirror. We stood and we're like
Speaker 5: something about them.
Speaker 2: Just it worked.
Speaker 1: Probably because it's the same colors as the power puff probably, yeah,
Speaker 1: but we didn't think about afterthought.
Speaker 2: In the moment. Again, Yeah, in hindsty, it's all yeah,
Speaker 2: I like it. I do want to do It's nostalgic.
Speaker 2: I do feel like you are in an industry that
Speaker 2: is naturally harder for women. Have you all experienced that
Speaker 2: being a band, a trio of women and you do,
Speaker 2: you produce, you write, you do everything for your music.
Speaker 2: Have you found that to be a challenge? Definitely?
Speaker 1: I think I think we experience it all the time,
Speaker 1: and we talk about it, like on stage and between
Speaker 1: the three of us. I think, I think there's so
Speaker 1: many levels of it, and I don't think we have
Speaker 1: the worst of it at all. But I think, as
Speaker 1: like women that are producing ourselves, I think we run
Speaker 1: in I mean in small ways of just like the
Speaker 1: assumption that we didn't produce our music, and like when
Speaker 1: people are like who produced it for you? And uh,
Speaker 1: when we go on tour, like walking into venues, I
Speaker 1: feel like the people that are running the venues, like
Speaker 1: their first assumption is we don't know what we're doing.
Speaker 2: But I love that. I get super stoked when that happens.
Speaker 3: I do.
Speaker 2: I think we're good, so they're always regretting it later.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we kind of like prove it to the people
Speaker 5: have to reperform. Yeah, but yeah, it's a weird industry,
Speaker 5: like to I think for anyone, it's just a confusing
Speaker 5: and not very explanatory industry. You can't go into it
Speaker 5: and like know what's going to happen no matter what.
Speaker 5: But also being a woman does put you at like
Speaker 5: a little bit of a disadvantage in terms of feeling
Speaker 5: like you have to prove more to people, especially because
Speaker 5: it's so heavily male, I think especially in the production
Speaker 5: part and in certain songwriting sessions. You know, sometimes we're
Speaker 5: lucky because we have three people so we're supporting each other.
Speaker 5: But if I was alone, I'm sure there'd be certain
Speaker 5: situations that we been in where I would be so uncomfortable.
Speaker 2: That's so true.
Speaker 6: I've never I've never thought of that before, Like that's
Speaker 6: it really is. Having there be three of us, we're
Speaker 6: usually outnumbering whoever we're working and so even just that
Speaker 6: fact alone, I think it makes us a little bit
Speaker 6: more intimidating, which I honestly like I feel for sometimes
Speaker 6: when we're working with someone for the first time, I'm like,
Speaker 6: we're a lot of energy, like all in one room
Speaker 6: together at the same time. But yeah, it can it
Speaker 6: can be tough to to feel heard in a way
Speaker 6: that is genuine and not like you're trying to control
Speaker 6: the situation, like being a leader in for a woman
Speaker 6: in any scenario.
Speaker 2: And it's the same with music.
Speaker 6: You are at risk of being called, oh like controlling,
Speaker 6: and so I think that's that's definitely something. It's just
Speaker 6: it's just hard to advocate for yourself and what you
Speaker 6: want because a lot of time times you know you.
Speaker 5: Don't want to keep their stereotype. Yeah, well, be grateful
Speaker 5: for what you have, like.
Speaker 6: And and even like oh no, I want to even
Speaker 6: like with members of your team sometimes of like oh no,
Speaker 6: I want to produce this song. I think this could
Speaker 6: have a good vision, and then they could potentially come
Speaker 6: back and say, oh, well, like you should be flexible
Speaker 6: and like maybe try to work with some other producers
Speaker 6: and like, have you checked out this list of people
Speaker 6: that I think you could be cool to work with
Speaker 6: and like some it's a it's a tough balance because
Speaker 6: it's all it's all yes, and you know, like working
Speaker 6: with other people is great.
Speaker 2: You learn so many new things.
Speaker 6: You can grow yourself as a producer, as a collaborator
Speaker 6: doing those opportunities. But there really is something to be
Speaker 6: said for like taking the time and just learning how
Speaker 6: to do it yourself. And I think women, especially in
Speaker 6: product music production, women are not given that time or
Speaker 6: are not encouraged to go explore what that's like, what
Speaker 6: their sound is like, because they're so often put in
Speaker 6: a room with someone that's just more experienced or like
Speaker 6: can do it faster. Yeah, And then even when you
Speaker 6: do co produce, like we're running into this even now
Speaker 6: with some new music that we've been working on of
Speaker 6: like we're so like we do so much for our
Speaker 6: project and we're spread so thin, and we're trying to
Speaker 6: find more ways to like be have like a healthy
Speaker 6: environment and like really be able to tackle all the work.
Speaker 2: That we need to.
Speaker 6: And so we're working with a co producer on this
Speaker 6: next batch of songs, and there's you're always running the
Speaker 6: risk of, like someone saying, even though we're listed as
Speaker 6: a producer, like, oh, well, they're just the artist.
Speaker 2: They just got a production credit because like they're.
Speaker 3: The arta, like they wanted the credit, so they just
Speaker 3: like changed a word or something.
Speaker 2: Totally, yeah, totally.
Speaker 3: It is interesting. Like when I think about this industry
Speaker 3: in particular, it is like very it's like men helping men.
Speaker 3: It's like it's like in their nature.
Speaker 5: Do you know what I mean?
Speaker 2: It's like, yes, that's just how.
Speaker 3: It is, and like men also are not like I
Speaker 3: feel like sometimes as women, we do tend to be
Speaker 3: feel like we can't speak or share as much as
Speaker 3: we want, and other men like just ask for what
Speaker 3: they want and demand it, and it's like it's so
Speaker 3: hard for us to do it.
Speaker 2: It's so interesting.
Speaker 5: I have truly noticed that when I am saying an idea,
Speaker 5: specifically in the production area of our job, I have
Speaker 5: tried to say it with a lower tone so that
Speaker 5: it's listened to more like when we're working with men,
Speaker 5: because something about being like oh my god, this people's
Speaker 5: not a.
Speaker 1: Scientific evidence to back that up that people respond more
Speaker 1: to like a lower voice.
Speaker 2: Well, I can't think of her name right now, but
Speaker 2: she dressed like Steve Jobs and.
Speaker 3: No, no, not most Elizabeth the Holmes homes.
Speaker 2: Homes Liz Holmes, and she was trying to come up
Speaker 2: that's what she.
Speaker 5: Friend.
Speaker 2: She changed her voice and went like a way deeper tone,
Speaker 2: and they did like a whole documentary on it, and
Speaker 2: they were like, because she she knew she'd be respected
Speaker 2: more like if she sounded for whatever reason, yes, it
Speaker 2: sounded better to men if she's hot in a lower tone.
Speaker 2: It's crazy.
Speaker 5: I feel like the main challenge is personally, you know,
Speaker 5: it's within yourself for me to be like, Okay, I
Speaker 5: have ideas I should be listened to just as much
Speaker 5: as anybody, and not getting in my own head of
Speaker 5: being like, oh, yeah, that's actually a better idea, yeah,
Speaker 5: just because I don't know.
Speaker 1: Why wait gold on, yeah, confident regardless of like if
Speaker 1: this idea is perfect and well formed, and just throwing
Speaker 1: things out there and like letting them be imperfect. And
Speaker 1: I think that it's really that's something that I've had
Speaker 1: to come to terms with and like work through of
Speaker 1: having so many ideas in my head and not saying
Speaker 1: them out loud because I'm afraid that they're not good enough.
Speaker 1: And then you just you get so much farther when
Speaker 1: you just put things out there because.
Speaker 5: It's like, oh, this might be a terrible idea, but
Speaker 5: maybe it'll get some cooking.
Speaker 2: Yeah, totally. That's My girlfriend's an artist, she's a musician,
Speaker 2: and she always says, you know, she'll she's like, I
Speaker 2: just want to all like women team yeah, And I'm like,
Speaker 2: she's like, I want a woman producer. I'm like, get
Speaker 2: a woman producer. She's like, you don't understand how hard
Speaker 2: it is a male dominated in space like that. It's
Speaker 2: just like if if you have an idea effect yeah.
Speaker 3: Like it's like if you work for like whatever, let's
Speaker 3: say this label, and then they have their like producer
Speaker 3: that they always like work with or you know, that's
Speaker 3: that's the guy. Everyone has their guy.
Speaker 7: Know.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh.
Speaker 6: I think about this all the time too, Like I
Speaker 6: feel like we're in this time right now where like
Speaker 6: producers have like such a sound to them, and then
Speaker 6: I think people like seek out whatever that sound is,
Speaker 6: but they're forgetting that like the artist is half of
Speaker 6: that sound, if not more a lot of time and
Speaker 6: so people want to work with Jack Antonoff. They want
Speaker 6: to work with like all these different producers like Ethan
Speaker 6: groscar A people that have produced these records that they
Speaker 6: really love because like, oh I want that sound, but
Speaker 6: really sometimes the sound that they're chasing is just the artist.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then.
Speaker 6: I think, I mean, I honestly feel bad for those
Speaker 6: producers too, because then it boxes them in creatively to
Speaker 6: like the kind of music that their clients are coming
Speaker 6: to them for, because like you know, people come to
Speaker 6: Ethan Gresca and they're like, oh, we play like rubber
Speaker 6: bridge guitar, like that'll sound really cool on this record,
Speaker 6: and it's like, now Ethan grosk is like, god, I'm
Speaker 6: sure he's like I.
Speaker 2: Never want to buy another guitar in a song ever again.
Speaker 6: But yeah, it's really it's really interesting. It is like
Speaker 6: a cycle just feeds into itself.
Speaker 4: That's something you guys have talked about your shows that
Speaker 4: really affected me. Was hearing like because like everyone knows
Speaker 4: Jackie enough, everyone knows like write and tender like people
Speaker 4: like that. But like I would say, I couldn't think
Speaker 4: of a single female producer, you know, like like Julian Michaels.
Speaker 4: Maybe I don't know. Yeah, you know, like and you
Speaker 4: guys that your shows always talk about like if there's
Speaker 4: no way. You know, you want to be the person
Speaker 4: that does something, so then someone who like it looks
Speaker 4: like your sounds like you, or is like you, like, oh,
Speaker 4: I can do that now, And I don't know. I
Speaker 4: just I'm so inspired about what you're doing because it's
Speaker 4: it's it's an incredible thing. I think about all the
Speaker 4: like girls out in the audience at your shows that
Speaker 4: are seeing you guys perform, and like you're producing earlier
Speaker 4: on something. Oh I could do something like that.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Wow, I love that.
Speaker 1: I feel like that's like our main goal in talking
Speaker 1: about that stuff and doing it ourselves. I think like
Speaker 1: sometimes it feels like it would be easier and we're
Speaker 1: trying to find ways to collaborate while still maintaining like
Speaker 1: musical integrity and control over our masters and like the
Speaker 1: rights to our music and stuff.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I feel like that's it's so.
Speaker 1: Important to know that maybe we could be something that
Speaker 1: we didn't see growing up.
Speaker 5: Yeah, And I feel like knowing that us saying that
Speaker 5: our shows does inspire people inspires us too, because it
Speaker 5: feels like, Okay, we're.
Speaker 2: Doing this for a reason. Yeah, because it's.
Speaker 5: Hard still to find it within every day. Yeah, every
Speaker 5: day you gotta fight the good fight. Yeah, you're writing
Speaker 5: a song a kind of good fight.
Speaker 2: All the time.
Speaker 3: I know it's a little off topic, but are you
Speaker 3: Are you all cycle SYNCD?
Speaker 2: Like, I feel like we go in and out.
Speaker 6: You have a really long we all have very different
Speaker 6: different situations.
Speaker 2: Okay, sometimes we are.
Speaker 1: I feel like when we're on tour, it happens. I
Speaker 1: have the implant in my arm, so I just got
Speaker 1: off of a literal month long period, so that definitely.
Speaker 2: Messes it up. But when we're all together all the time.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I feel like, yeah, yeah, I would say so.
Speaker 5: Usually you'll be like, oh, I think I'm gonna get
Speaker 5: your hair.
Speaker 2: And I'm like, oh, Tanya with a hard hitting question.
Speaker 2: I was curious about when y'all go So, y'all are
Speaker 2: about to go on tour, right, yes? In June? Yeah,
Speaker 2: in June.
Speaker 5: Well, I just like we are.
Speaker 2: I was like, did I get the wrong information? Day
Speaker 2: by day?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Living life to the fullest. So when y'all go on tour?
Speaker 2: What what? How are y'all traveling? How will you be traveling?
Speaker 5: Sprinter?
Speaker 2: Okay, sprinter van? Yes? Do you do you like that?
Speaker 2: Because my girlfriend she did Sprinter and then she did
Speaker 2: tour bus, and she was like, I liked the Sprinter
Speaker 2: because we got to go to a hotel and sleep
Speaker 2: in a bed. That's a really nice part of it. Yeah.
Speaker 5: Sure, the long drives in the Sprinter are you know,
Speaker 5: not amazing, But I think we're all just so broke
Speaker 5: that you know, it's better than minivan.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's way better than man. Yeah, I feel like, honestly,
Speaker 6: it all depends on the routing. Because if you're like
Speaker 6: we last year we opened for Corey Wong and we
Speaker 6: were following, they were all in a tour bus, and
Speaker 6: so our.
Speaker 2: That tour was routed for a tour.
Speaker 6: Bus, and so it'd be like the kind of thing
Speaker 6: where you're playing a show in Chicago and then the
Speaker 6: next night you're you're having to go all the way
Speaker 6: to like I don't know, Nashville or something in one day.
Speaker 6: And and so then we like they're they could just
Speaker 6: like load out at the end of the night, yeah,
Speaker 6: and then sleep and they just get driven to Nashville,
Speaker 6: versus us we're like driving two hours after the show,
Speaker 6: going to bed, waking up at eight, trying to drive
Speaker 6: the rest of the way so that we get there
Speaker 6: in time. So it really just depends on like how
Speaker 6: the shows are booked.
Speaker 1: And we've never done a tour bus, so we don't
Speaker 1: know what that we'll compare. Yeah, I would love that,
Speaker 1: but I think it's a sleep is tough with I
Speaker 1: sleep really well.
Speaker 6: Actually, then always says the back round of Sprinter, and
Speaker 6: it's just fully horizontal the whole time.
Speaker 5: He has a foot rest, it's a blow up footrest rest.
Speaker 5: I ask, and yeah, and if you look back, it's
Speaker 5: a really fantastic.
Speaker 6: Well and and there's like she has because they're both
Speaker 6: quin in order to have beautiful curly hair, and both
Speaker 6: very committed to their curly hair regiments.
Speaker 2: Because if we don't, it's just a frisbelle. But what
Speaker 2: is it you It's called plopping.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I PLoP my hair and a T shirt like
Speaker 1: when it's wet, and then I tie it.
Speaker 6: And then she's usually wearing like a hoodie over that
Speaker 6: with the mouth taste and then I'm ass, it's really good.
Speaker 2: Look, you don't even recognize I could sleep so nows.
Speaker 2: When we get to the venue, people are like, yeah,
Speaker 2: we're not looking so great. I mean me, you know,
Speaker 2: I started to do the regimen.
Speaker 6: I'm so used to seeing you like that when like
Speaker 6: one of my eyes was like shut most of the time.
Speaker 5: The green makeup is like running died.
Speaker 2: I feel like music. I feel like artists and musicians
Speaker 2: are insane. Like there's a part of me that thinks
Speaker 2: y'all are crazy. I tell my grandmamas all the time.
Speaker 2: I'm like, I think people like you are crazy because
Speaker 2: what drives you to to live this lifestyle? I'm serious,
Speaker 2: like what is it? Because I don't I don't have it,
Speaker 2: so I don't get it. I feel like they trick you.
Speaker 6: You know, you grow up being like I want to
Speaker 6: sing songs for a living, and like write songs.
Speaker 2: That'll be easy. I'm on a stage, like yay.
Speaker 6: And then you pursue that and you're like this is
Speaker 6: so fun, and then you like you, you know, you
Speaker 6: actually start to have to do it where you're like, Okay,
Speaker 6: now you have to like open up an LLC to
Speaker 6: keep track of your finances, and now you like doing
Speaker 6: that all the time, And then you have to pay
Speaker 6: your taxes, and then you have to get a manager,
Speaker 6: and then you get a lawyer and an agent, and
Speaker 6: then you have to go on tour, and then you're
Speaker 6: doing all this stuff in a sprinter van and like
Speaker 6: immediately disgusting venues and green rooms sometimes and then all
Speaker 6: of a sudden you look at your life and you're.
Speaker 2: Like, wow, this is what I didn't know. This is
Speaker 2: what I was signing up for, what dreams were made of. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's so true. I don't know.
Speaker 6: I feel like it gives musicians like a thicker skin
Speaker 6: where you're kind of like.
Speaker 3: There's something like you're doing what you love exactly. Like
Speaker 3: that's the thing I think at the end of the
Speaker 3: day too, It's like.
Speaker 2: It's it.
Speaker 3: It's something that's in you, you know what I mean,
Speaker 3: Like like you were saying, like I could, I could never,
Speaker 3: Like I am such a creature of habit. I to
Speaker 3: like in bed by nine pm, lights out by nine
Speaker 3: p fifteen, like I need to have you know, love
Speaker 3: Islander Traders on the TV, and you know, like I
Speaker 3: see creature of habit.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So for me, like living in a sprinter and being
Speaker 3: in a different city every day, like that would just
Speaker 3: make me so anxious, Whereas I feel like if you
Speaker 3: live my life, you would be so anxious.
Speaker 2: She'd be like, get me out of this.
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, I feel like of all of the musicians
Speaker 1: that are like living that tour life. We definitely are
Speaker 1: more homebodies, and we don't go crazy when we're touring,
Speaker 1: Like we go to bed as early as we possibly can.
Speaker 1: We're not like partying out late. I think we all
Speaker 1: love the travel aspect of it, but it is an
Speaker 1: interesting like balance of we're not I don't think we
Speaker 1: would have ever like roughed it, like a lot of
Speaker 1: people will get into like the minivan and do it
Speaker 1: all themselves and sleep on couches and like, you know,
Speaker 1: do whatever it takes. I feel like we were never
Speaker 1: willing to do that until we had like some foundation
Speaker 1: yeah to like actually go on a more comfortable tour.
Speaker 1: But it is interesting. I feel like I love coming
Speaker 1: home after a tour and like being home and doing
Speaker 1: my own routine and being by myself. But there's something
Speaker 1: about the live performance, and I think there's like validation
Speaker 1: that you get, like when you're on stage and stuff,
Speaker 1: the connection that you get with people, and then also
Speaker 1: like hearing people sing our lyrics back, or like hearing
Speaker 1: how people were affected by our music or by our performance,
Speaker 1: like that's worth any discomfort or like lack of sleep
Speaker 1: or routine.
Speaker 2: I feel like it's amazing.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I feel like the the whole path, the touring
Speaker 5: and all the things that are difficult, because yeah, I
Speaker 5: feel like I'm also a creature of habit and that
Speaker 5: sounds like a great night to me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I think like the whole side, yeah, but I.
Speaker 5: Feel like the overall thing that yeah, makes us crazy
Speaker 5: is like for me, I just feel like I have
Speaker 5: something to say, and we all have something to say,
Speaker 5: and we can like we have you know, these tools,
Speaker 5: and we have music and it feels important and I
Speaker 5: feel like that's what drives us to do the whole thing.
Speaker 5: And then when it comes to the specifics and the touring,
Speaker 5: to me, the stage is like just the most I
Speaker 5: feel the most myself when I'm on the stage, and
Speaker 5: I feel like so excited to It's just it's like, oh,
Speaker 5: it's like a job that I just love. And then
Speaker 5: all the other stuff is really hard, just like anything,
Speaker 5: you know.
Speaker 6: I feel like there is a little bit of this
Speaker 6: myth that like musicians like tend to be like all
Speaker 6: this one kind of like go like I want to
Speaker 6: just be traveling seeing the world all the time, but
Speaker 6: like touring is so like in reality, like touring is
Speaker 6: so bad for you, Like it's so.
Speaker 2: Bad for your health.
Speaker 6: And luckily there's like a lot more resources now, Like
Speaker 6: what's the one that we always see that has the
Speaker 6: like the plug logo, It's like beat.
Speaker 2: I just was learning about it.
Speaker 6: It's like a mental health resources. Oh, Backstage. It's called Backstage.
Speaker 6: It's like this company they have like in green rooms
Speaker 6: like this, you know, like an info sheet of like
Speaker 6: how they can get help to find therapists and you
Speaker 6: know if they're like over saying like they can you know,
Speaker 6: find the resources to help deal with that emergency care
Speaker 6: and such. But like then that, I think there's music Cares,
Speaker 6: which is like also a really great thing. But I
Speaker 6: think it's we're entering into a new time. I think
Speaker 6: where like the rock and roll lifestyles changing of like
Speaker 6: maybe it's not super fun to go out and like drink,
Speaker 6: not sleep.
Speaker 2: And then do it again the next day every months.
Speaker 1: But I can see why people did Slash do that
Speaker 1: with the lifestyle that it is exhausting.
Speaker 5: It is because you like literally like you have to pain, Yeah,
Speaker 5: you have to put on a great show or like
Speaker 5: you could have had like no sleep the night before
Speaker 5: and then you have the biggest show of your life
Speaker 5: the next day and to do this really well, I'm going.
Speaker 2: To do drugs right, ye see.
Speaker 6: And I feel like now it's the way that I
Speaker 6: look at it more now is like I'm being when
Speaker 6: I'm on the road, I'm being an athlete, because it
Speaker 6: really is about just like, Okay, how do I take
Speaker 6: care of my body in the way that is going
Speaker 6: to get me to the stage tomorrow and the next
Speaker 6: day and the day after.
Speaker 5: That, which is kind of freeing when you only have
Speaker 5: one thing to focus on. We kind of say like
Speaker 5: touring is nice because it's just one hat every day.
Speaker 5: The job is the show, that's it. But when we're
Speaker 5: back home, it's like, yeah, how many things can I
Speaker 5: do in one day?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Are any of you in relationships? Yeah? All three of us. Okay,
Speaker 2: have have y'all toured while being in a relationship? Yeah.
Speaker 2: We have a very interesting setup.
Speaker 1: So my boyfriend, Carter is our drummer, so he goes
Speaker 1: on ideal situations, Yeah, very much.
Speaker 6: And then my boyfriend is our mixing engineer slash occasional
Speaker 6: bass player, so he's been on the road with us
Speaker 6: a few times, but okay, for the most he's he
Speaker 6: stays at home.
Speaker 2: And so he won't be going on tour. Mm, he'll
Speaker 2: be at Bonn with us, which will be very cool.
Speaker 1: But other than that, he's like, I'll come to brow
Speaker 1: yeah exactly when we have more money, will take them
Speaker 1: all the time.
Speaker 2: It's like we can't afford to have enough. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: I know, but.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, my girlfriend is non a musician, but I
Speaker 5: love her.
Speaker 2: Does she come to visit? Okay? This makes me feel
Speaker 2: seen because you're on the other side of this relationship.
Speaker 2: I have a very hard time when my girlfriend. God,
Speaker 2: so does my girlfriend. And I think there's something when
Speaker 2: it's two women that makes it extra emotional. And I
Speaker 2: was laughing thinking about you being like we have to
Speaker 2: get on stage and like, no matter what's happened in
Speaker 2: her life, like that's a focus, and I would be
Speaker 2: like just causing drama, Like I literally have to go perform. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I have to go entertain these people and like give
Speaker 2: a show. And I'm like, fine, give to them, take
Speaker 2: away from me. It's hard. It's hard to balance.
Speaker 5: That's fair, Like, you know, you have needs on the
Speaker 5: other side, and it's also really hard for somebody who
Speaker 5: isn't touring to like understand the lifestyle. It's just both
Speaker 5: are true and it's tough. Thank god for FaceTime. And
Speaker 5: you know what, she if we going, really, we've only
Speaker 5: done like month long tours so far, so if we did,
Speaker 5: I don't know if your girlfriend is like super long tours.
Speaker 2: She yeah, a couple of months. Yeah.
Speaker 5: I feel like once it passes the one month, she's
Speaker 5: definitely gonna be visiting me.
Speaker 2: You know, figured it out two weeks starting fights hours
Speaker 2: and she's like, okay, yeah that did happen, but I
Speaker 2: try to make it to two weeks. Yeah, it's I
Speaker 2: mean came and saw us last time. I mean we
Speaker 2: it was it was a wild day for her to come.
Speaker 5: Yeah, she's from Canada, Okay, yeah, and we were in Vancouver,
Speaker 5: but we had a crazy day right before that ship anyway,
Speaker 5: was this the merch situation?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Okay, can you tell people because this wasn't our
Speaker 2: prep and I'm like, this is a crazy story. Yeah.
Speaker 5: Our main you know, takeaway point is, you know, when
Speaker 5: you're crossing into Canada, you know, just careful, make sure
Speaker 5: you know that you have a carne and no one will.
Speaker 2: Tell you what that is, but make sure you have it.
Speaker 2: It's a special document, a.
Speaker 5: Special document and you know, don't have other things you got.
Speaker 1: They're really they're just so strict. And we've never had
Speaker 1: an issue at the border before. But because we didn't
Speaker 1: have like all the proper documents among other things, like
Speaker 1: we got pulled over and we got held there for
Speaker 1: like most of the night, and we had left from
Speaker 1: a show in Seattle. So we're like, we're just going
Speaker 1: to get in, you know, a little late, but like
Speaker 1: it'll be better to be there that night. And we
Speaker 1: were there until like four thirty in the morning, and
Speaker 1: like I had to walk back to the US like
Speaker 1: side of my slippers, like begging these people to like
Speaker 1: help us, and they gave us a different form, but yeah,
Speaker 1: they were harsh. So we got to our airbnb at
Speaker 1: like six thirty, and we didn't have everyone on our
Speaker 1: crew left.
Speaker 2: There were well why did they stop you?
Speaker 1: They stopped us because we didn't have the documents that
Speaker 1: we were in like the right order. And like sometimes
Speaker 1: it just depends on what kind of person you get.
Speaker 5: We got a bad like not a bad but just
Speaker 5: like we got somebody who really was strict, and so
Speaker 5: then we yeah, we had to pull into the thing
Speaker 5: and then they we got all these things seized. We
Speaker 5: couldn't bring the merch across. Part of that was because
Speaker 5: of the carne. And so then once we got through
Speaker 5: to Canada, we went to a Salvation Army and just
Speaker 5: purchased like a bunch of just shirts in our colors
Speaker 5: and just wrote yeah with.
Speaker 2: Lyrics and stuff. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Like our van got taken like they towed it with
Speaker 1: They started towing because they someone had asked one of
Speaker 1: the band members if there had been any drinking that night,
Speaker 1: which was like, we had no one was drunk and
Speaker 1: it was hours after the show, but we had had drinks.
Speaker 1: And so then they were like, then all of you
Speaker 1: are unfit to drive, and they while we were trying
Speaker 1: to get the other paperwork with all of our stuff
Speaker 1: in the van, they just started towing it and the like,
Speaker 1: and we're like, I'm re entering the US like at
Speaker 1: the same time trying to get these papers.
Speaker 5: The phones are all on one percent because we weren't
Speaker 5: expecting to be and the you know, they.
Speaker 2: Weren't letting us like get up from the seats. It
Speaker 2: was crazy.
Speaker 5: More all of the story, if you're crossing into Canada,
Speaker 5: have a carne and maybe don't go in like overnight. Yeah,
Speaker 5: because maybe those those people are a little bit more
Speaker 5: looking for a show.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they were.
Speaker 6: You just want to you just want to follow all
Speaker 6: the rules to the tea because if you give them
Speaker 6: any reason to flag you, like even a little bit,
Speaker 6: then they just that's all the reason they need to
Speaker 6: just make your life a living hell.
Speaker 2: So that was the the sounn. Their girlfriend came.
Speaker 5: So then we got back to the airbnb at six
Speaker 5: am and I was texting her with my one percent phone.
Speaker 5: I was like, I think I think we're gonna you know,
Speaker 5: she was trying to track in my location and then
Speaker 5: she was there waiting when we got there.
Speaker 2: We got there at like six am.
Speaker 5: She was like, hey, gosh, yeah yeah, yeah, she was
Speaker 5: the vibes.
Speaker 2: You were like, I need to just be Yeah.
Speaker 5: But the next day I met her whole family like
Speaker 5: the first time for the first time, you know, at
Speaker 5: the show when it was just such a nightmare show too,
Speaker 5: and her family was so sweet.
Speaker 2: So it was like the best.
Speaker 5: Possible situation that could have But it was a wild
Speaker 5: But we love Canada. Yes, the situation at the border
Speaker 5: back to Vancouver has nothing to do with our love
Speaker 5: for Canada.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, no, no, that's a legalistic thing.
Speaker 3: Yes, speaking of Canada, I have to pivot to Love Island. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I was like, pivot, George. I know that you are
Speaker 3: obsessed and I I too am obsessed.
Speaker 2: I know she didn't act obsessed with every you didn't act.
Speaker 5: I thought because I was worried that I wasn't gonna,
Speaker 5: you know, be that I was gonna be tested on.
Speaker 2: The logistics of the characters or something. No test.
Speaker 3: But I would like to know what your favorite season
Speaker 3: is of Love Island UK.
Speaker 5: Okay. I like the one with Page okay, and really
Speaker 5: I think so I loved them.
Speaker 2: That was recent.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 5: Think that was my favorite.
Speaker 3: Was the winners spoiler alert, David Day and Eke and Sue.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, I believe they won.
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 2: I was a little shocked by that to I liked
Speaker 2: that and Sue though, Oh yeah, that was great. I
Speaker 2: love that show. Yeah, what's your favorite season?
Speaker 3: It's tough, it's tough, it's tough. It's I love season five.
Speaker 3: I love Season seven.
Speaker 2: I really.
Speaker 3: The only one I haven't loved is like the first
Speaker 3: two seasons. After that, it's like they just get better
Speaker 3: and better and better.
Speaker 5: The only thing about the first two seasons that I
Speaker 5: did like is that they were smoking cigarettes and it
Speaker 5: looked totally like kind of nice.
Speaker 3: To me so much, like how much can these people smoke?
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're just in their bathing suits the whole time.
Speaker 3: But I think they put a band to it because
Speaker 3: now they don't smoke at all.
Speaker 2: There's like no smoking allowed at all.
Speaker 5: Do you like it when they meet the families? Does
Speaker 5: it stress you out?
Speaker 2: And I don't need that?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 5: I don't.
Speaker 2: I kind of start to fast forward when reality shows
Speaker 2: make you meet the fa so like it's like you can.
Speaker 3: Tell some families like really don't want to be there, Yeah,
Speaker 3: they don't want to be.
Speaker 2: Like and then some of them like loving or thriving.
Speaker 3: I feel back for the ones that like don't.
Speaker 5: I feel bad for some of the families are like
Speaker 5: so supportive and they're so close, And then you can
Speaker 5: tell that some people aren't super close to their families,
Speaker 5: but they're just forced to come together and like maybe
Speaker 5: seen each other in years or something.
Speaker 2: Isn't there a lesbian relationship in a recent season two
Speaker 2: girls are dating or something? Who is it? See that
Speaker 2: she was just in that was us?
Speaker 5: Oh, video pretty sexy.
Speaker 3: I don't mess with the US.
Speaker 2: I don't mess with either, so I just see what
Speaker 2: I see on tickto a.
Speaker 5: Kind of it's interesting to like girls and to watch
Speaker 5: Love Island. It's quite a street show, but something about it.
Speaker 3: I just had some I know, it's so wholesome elevision.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I feel like I've gotten through breakups because of
Speaker 5: that show.
Speaker 3: It's a good It's never ending. It's like a new
Speaker 3: episode every day. There's like sixty five episodes like the
Speaker 3: Gift that keeps on giving.
Speaker 2: So true, Oh so good. It feels good. Thank you
Speaker 2: so much. Thank you for indulging me. Thank you. I
Speaker 2: appreciate it.
Speaker 3: I needed that.
Speaker 2: Who are y'all's musical inspiration?
Speaker 4: Like?
Speaker 2: Who who do you look to? When you're like if
Speaker 2: I could have something similar to that style or career,
Speaker 2: who is it for you? It's hard? That is really tough.
Speaker 6: I feel like it's changed to now like being a
Speaker 6: band and like now really looking up to certain bands.
Speaker 2: I mean there's like.
Speaker 6: The Beatles, obviously, like George and I used to joke
Speaker 6: around in college being like we could be like we
Speaker 6: could be like you know, Lennon and.
Speaker 2: McCartney, like Green and Jones. Wow, that would be so
Speaker 2: cool that just have a ring to it. I don't
Speaker 2: have to kick me out.
Speaker 6: But but yeah, I mean I would say Fleetwood, Mac,
Speaker 6: the Eagles, like CSN, those are all like my dream
Speaker 6: for my dream bands. For Trusdale, I think of just
Speaker 6: being like that legacy act of just like.
Speaker 2: Music is so important to us.
Speaker 6: And I would say it's like our mental health comes first,
Speaker 6: and then our friendships come second, and then the band
Speaker 6: comes third. And I think as long as those things
Speaker 6: remain the same, I think we have like such a
Speaker 6: beautiful future of just like a great long life doing
Speaker 6: music together, which I think we're all very excited about
Speaker 6: and love to foster that because that's why all those
Speaker 6: bands did. I think they just like really stuck with
Speaker 6: it and yeah, created this thing that you could really
Speaker 6: just chew on for and sit on for a while,
Speaker 6: which I think we all really appreciate that in an artist.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I feel like You two also is a good
Speaker 5: example of a band that's just like still rockings, but
Speaker 5: like also on a smaller scale, Big Thief, I feel,
Speaker 5: just in terms of the trajectory that they continue to
Speaker 5: put out albums, but also like Adrian Linker, puts out
Speaker 5: albums and it just seems like they have like a
Speaker 5: really healthy relationship to the band, you know, like Thief.
Speaker 1: No, I'm talking about the no Oh Okay, you might
Speaker 1: recognize some of their songs.
Speaker 2: She has like a really recognizable voice.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I feel like.
Speaker 5: Really really just beautiful songwriting, so many records and then
Speaker 5: in terms of like just doing it, not in terms
Speaker 5: of like at the scale for the rest of our lives,
Speaker 5: but like Taylor Swift is a good example of just
Speaker 5: so many eras. Yeah, and she just keeps like growing
Speaker 5: and changing and like doing her thing. I think, I
Speaker 5: don't know if we want to be doing like arena
Speaker 5: tours like by the time, you know, in terms like
Speaker 5: I think maybe we'll want to just have kids at
Speaker 5: some point and like also do it, you know, but
Speaker 5: having like a trajectory that just.
Speaker 3: Keeps changing, evolving, growing.
Speaker 1: I feel like Brandy Carlisle is a person in terms
Speaker 1: of her career, Like it took her a really long
Speaker 1: time to get where she is, and I feel like
Speaker 1: she wasn't super well known even when she was objectively
Speaker 1: like doing really well. But she's like so herself and
Speaker 1: her music is so good, and I feel like She's
Speaker 1: built this community also of like artists around her.
Speaker 2: Feels like a little exclusive.
Speaker 1: I'd love to be a part of it someday, but
Speaker 1: it's I think she also is such a great artist
Speaker 1: that we look up to, and just like the the
Speaker 1: integrity of the music.
Speaker 2: I feel like she's like really about that. When I
Speaker 2: saw that she doesn't use uh is it in ears?
Speaker 2: I'm like, that is crazy. I know I would never
Speaker 2: just for like going death, but I know respect. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I guess it's crazy. You're like, good luck with your health.
Speaker 1: Like I like the idea of she they're not going
Speaker 1: to like a metronome or a click and like they're
Speaker 1: just feeling.
Speaker 5: She wears ear plugs, I hope, so you know, tried
Speaker 5: to look at her ear holes like when we've seen
Speaker 5: her on like big screens.
Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't see. That's scary to me
Speaker 2: because that is, Yeah, it feels dangerous. It's loud. Wow,
Speaker 2: like that her band do they go crazy? So I
Speaker 2: don't know. You brought up Taylor Switch and the song
Speaker 2: movie Star makes me think of debut Taylor God. I
Speaker 2: love it. It's so romantic and feels so like when
Speaker 2: you fall, like you're you know, falling love and everything
Speaker 2: feels like a movie. Like if you can make everything
Speaker 2: feel like a movie, I love that.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 4: If you go see you Tuesday Live, they bring someone
Speaker 4: up on stage and put them in a stool and
Speaker 4: like sing to them as if they're the movie star.
Speaker 4: And two shows on the tour and both.
Speaker 2: Yah wants to be is it?
Speaker 6: Is it?
Speaker 3: Usually guy or girl doesn't matter, different different every city
Speaker 3: we take turns picking yeah, because.
Speaker 2: It's really stressful.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't want to make anyone feel bad or
Speaker 1: accidentally pick someone that's like.
Speaker 2: Wasted or like someone that actually is being forced to
Speaker 2: do it. But we didn't realize something, Yeah, be a
Speaker 2: hit or miss sometimes. When I saw a video of
Speaker 2: y'all and it was the power something went out in Seattle,
Speaker 2: I think, and you were like everyone's singing back to you.
Speaker 2: I can't imagine what that must feel like. First of all,
Speaker 2: I'm so scared of being on a stage in front
Speaker 2: of people like that is so scary. But I imagine that
Speaker 2: the high and the rush that you get from that,
Speaker 2: and then you're watching everyone singing along, but then the
Speaker 2: sound goes out and you can hear them. Yeah, what
Speaker 2: is that like? It was so crazy.
Speaker 5: Is the coolest thing I think we've experienced to this day.
Speaker 2: Was Yeah, it so crazy.
Speaker 6: It's so funny looking back at it, because we're like, wow,
Speaker 6: this literally looks like it was like stage because it
Speaker 6: was so perfect, and it was like, I mean, for
Speaker 6: us in the moment, we were just like okay, like
Speaker 6: cause I feel like when at a certain point, once
Speaker 6: you've played as many shows as we have, you start
Speaker 6: to learn that anything that can go wrong will ye wrong.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and so.
Speaker 6: We're like, okay, like we all had our in years
Speaker 6: in and so for us, all the sound went out
Speaker 6: and then we were kind of.
Speaker 2: Like we were still singing or like what do we do?
Speaker 2: Like we keep playing?
Speaker 6: And then we realized we took our ears out and
Speaker 6: we realized that like everybody was.
Speaker 2: Singing, and then we.
Speaker 6: Were like, oh my god, like this is so cool.
Speaker 6: We don't really know what's happening with the sound right now,
Speaker 6: but like and then I started walking up to the
Speaker 6: front of the stage and just.
Speaker 2: With my like literal acoustics.
Speaker 6: In my guitar was trying to like lead the crowd
Speaker 6: in the song, and then Quinn picked up the tambourine.
Speaker 2: Were just jamming.
Speaker 6: George was like screaming so loud, like literally still in
Speaker 6: that video, you're like the loudest thing, which.
Speaker 2: Is so impressive. George has to sing so high.
Speaker 5: It was like an endorphin rush.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Oh, and then the fact that they kept going because
Speaker 5: it was like a pretty long time that the power
Speaker 5: was out. Yeah, and they just knew it, and I
Speaker 5: feel like we were I just kept going like, actually,
Speaker 5: it's all like in the same register.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I know.
Speaker 1: The sound came back on and were like the perfect
Speaker 1: moment and it was so that we couldn't hear it
Speaker 1: in our ears because we'd taken them out.
Speaker 2: But then colors started.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then everyone started screaming, so we were like, oh,
Speaker 1: it's in that. We ran back and finished it. It was
Speaker 1: so cool. It was so fun and like I think
Speaker 1: because there are three of us, it's a little easier,
Speaker 1: but something goes wrong to like look at each other
Speaker 1: and be like, how are they not? Like yeah, and
Speaker 1: we were going to stop, Like there was a moment
Speaker 1: where we were kind of like, oh no, and like
Speaker 1: then they just kept singing, so we were like.
Speaker 2: And then Lauren walked up.
Speaker 5: There was Yeah, there was like a little front parts
Speaker 5: just like walked up and were he had like a
Speaker 5: second to just be Okay, yep, we're walking that.
Speaker 2: It was perfect. Honestly, it was so fun. It was
Speaker 2: such a rush.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and then that night was the go into Vancouver.
Speaker 2: We were like, honestly, maybe a'll got through that because
Speaker 2: of that. Yeah, that you got totally meant to happen.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, and hopefully many more memories like that. Yes,
Speaker 3: when you go back out on tour.
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, totally.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I just saw a video of Noah Kan that happened
Speaker 1: to him at one of his shows, like the power
Speaker 1: went out and he sang a quiet song and I
Speaker 1: know that that venue was like massive. I don't know
Speaker 1: how people even heard him, but it was so cool.
Speaker 1: People loved it. It's just amazing when you do live
Speaker 1: music like that and it's really like your own voices
Speaker 1: and musicians on stage. I think when things go wrong,
Speaker 1: you can still perform, and I think it makes it
Speaker 1: that much more beautiful. Of like we could still keep
Speaker 1: singing and do stuff because we can hold our own
Speaker 1: like in most situations.
Speaker 2: So it was a beautiful thing. I think.
Speaker 6: I think the unrehearsed moments in a live music show
Speaker 6: is just like the most beautiful like that for me,
Speaker 6: that's what I'm like connected to.
Speaker 2: I'm watching an artist and I'm like.
Speaker 6: Oh, man, like they're just like me, you know, like
Speaker 6: they're a person, Like they make mistakes, you know, and
Speaker 6: like I feel like that's just such a special thing
Speaker 6: because you know that that moment is like just for
Speaker 6: You're the only one witnessing that.
