Speaker 1: It's the kind of thing where I really wanted to
Speaker 1: express like how important she ever Bundan is to me,
Speaker 1: and I just like screamed, like you are my life.
Speaker 2: Yeah. From playing a gig in a clown museum in
Speaker 2: Hollywood to going on stage just before Beyonce when she
Speaker 2: headlined Coachella twenty eighteen, it's been a wild decade or
Speaker 2: so for time. I'm pleased to say that SD, Danielle
Speaker 2: and Alana are my guests on tonight's podcast. I met
Speaker 2: up with the Californian sisters just a couple of weeks ago,
Speaker 2: late September time, during a brief visit they were making
Speaker 2: to London to promote their latest single, Summer Girl, but
Speaker 2: also just to get a short break from writing and
Speaker 2: recording their forthcoming third album. It's been seven years since
Speaker 2: they won the BBC Soundpole here in the UK. That
Speaker 2: was the early days of a journey that's seen them
Speaker 2: win a bunch of awards, but also the diverse admiration
Speaker 2: of everyone from Primal Screams, Bobby Gillespie right through to
Speaker 2: Taylor Swift. Spend some time with them and it's easy
Speaker 2: to see why they make friends so easily. This evening's
Speaker 2: episode dips back into lots of those career moments so far,
Speaker 2: but it begins recently this past summer when Heim flew
Speaker 2: to London to see their childhood heroes, the Spice Girls
Speaker 2: in concert. I'll let them tell that story. Enjoy listening.

Speaker 1: Lunch or tea or something like that would go mit
Speaker 1: your golfing or something, and we were like, mmm, no,
Speaker 1: And the Spice Girls had just announced that they were
Speaker 1: doing shows in England, and SI had the variety to
Speaker 1: be like, what if we take someone to the Spice
Speaker 1: Girls concert in London, And we honestly didn't think that
Speaker 1: they were going to go for it, but they were like, yeah,
Speaker 1: let's do it. And we ended up bringing this lovely woman, Gail,
Speaker 1: who was a cancer survivor, and her daughter, and she
Speaker 1: had never been out of the country before, she had
Speaker 1: never been out of Americas. She got a passport for
Speaker 1: this trip and they were so insanely lovely and we
Speaker 1: all went to the Spice Girls concert together and between
Speaker 1: I think the first and second song, I looked over
Speaker 1: at Danielle and she was crying.
Speaker 4: I was gonna say, like absolutely, it was so emotional
Speaker 4: and like so the first I forget what the first
Speaker 4: two songs were, but they were like want to be
Speaker 4: If you can't you can't dance?
Speaker 1: That was like I think that's when I looked over at.
Speaker 4: You and you were like because I honestly hadn't. That
Speaker 4: was the one song that I hadn't heard since I
Speaker 4: think I was in first grade when I was like
Speaker 4: obsessed with the Spice Girls, like truly, and I'm still
Speaker 4: obsessed with them obviously, but in like the deepest of
Speaker 4: the fandom, I hadn't heard if You Can't Dance. And
Speaker 4: when I heard, I was I love this song And
Speaker 4: just the scream, I mean everyone erupted in such a
Speaker 4: huge roar that like it just all hit me at
Speaker 4: the same time, and just hear started streaming.
Speaker 1: It's like, what get it together? Didn't y'all know the
Speaker 1: Spice Girls?
Speaker 2: That was the jet lag talking two hours?
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it.
Speaker 1: Was such a good show. It was so incredible and
Speaker 1: like they have so many hits.
Speaker 2: You forget that.
Speaker 3: You forget how many hits.
Speaker 1: They have and they were such a big part of
Speaker 1: our lives growing up, and like it was it was
Speaker 1: like a very like we were very nostalgic, Like didn't
Speaker 1: y'all was crying? We all like after the show, we're
Speaker 1: like thinking about, like where were we when when the
Speaker 1: Spice Girls came out? Like sisters, we would watch Spice
Speaker 1: Girls as a family, like at least once a month.
Speaker 1: Spice World, sorry, Spice World, Oh god, jet Lag, Spice World.
Speaker 1: I mean I literally wanted to that, Like that's what
Speaker 1: I thought tour buses looked like like when I was
Speaker 1: growing up, like I thought that everyone had. I was like,
Speaker 1: my corner is going to be like this, and as
Speaker 1: you like, my corner is gonna be like this, and like,
Speaker 1: little did I know that that was not an actual
Speaker 1: tour bus.
Speaker 3: That was a sound stage.
Speaker 2: You can stay on the Spice is what it permanently
Speaker 2: and it's on air PNB.
Speaker 1: What, oh my god, what are we doing here? Why
Speaker 1: do we have this podcast on the Spice Girls bus.
Speaker 2: We think we should for.
Speaker 1: Your thirtieth birthday, so we should do. I got a
Speaker 1: couple of years for a thirtieth for my thirtieth birth.
Speaker 5: A couple of years. But that's the next big one.
Speaker 5: I would love this next big one. I'm going to say, like,
Speaker 5: oh my god, that'd be cool. And then just surprised
Speaker 5: me with that all act surprised.
Speaker 2: I imagine it's just like loads of Hindus and like
Speaker 2: pies and stuff, like I.
Speaker 3: Know, that's crazy, pretty incredible.
Speaker 1: That's a dream I never thought that I ever wanted
Speaker 1: and now it's gonna come true.
Speaker 2: I hope so is the biggest hint. Did you get
Speaker 2: to meet the Spice Gills.
Speaker 3: We did really quickly.
Speaker 1: I'm they were about to sound check and we got
Speaker 1: to meet them, and I cried. I think that's when
Speaker 1: I cried because my nickname is baby Him and that
Speaker 1: derives from Baby Spice and having Baby Him than me
Speaker 1: and Baby Spice in the same place.
Speaker 5: Like I just two babies.
Speaker 1: It's two babies, and I like I wanted to tell
Speaker 1: it's the kind of thing where I really wanted to
Speaker 1: express like how important she em Abundant is to me.
Speaker 1: And I think I was like I just like screamed, like.
Speaker 3: You are my life. I love you so much.
Speaker 1: And she was super nice, but I think she was
Speaker 1: like super freaked out. She's like, oh my god, I
Speaker 1: have no idea, Like this is crazy. But they were
Speaker 1: so nice and they put on such a good show
Speaker 1: and like it's like a real pop show. We never
Speaker 1: really went to pop shows growing up because our parents
Speaker 1: couldn't really afford tickets that you know, to go to
Speaker 1: like see like insinc Spice Girls that Brittany like we were.
Speaker 3: We never really got to.
Speaker 1: Go even though to this day, I'm so devastated that
Speaker 1: I never went to a pop show growing up. I
Speaker 1: think it was like one of my first pop shows.
Speaker 3: It was great. It was fucking awesome.
Speaker 2: Were they one of the bands or one of the
Speaker 2: first like artists that collectively, I've just kind of got
Speaker 2: an image of you being at home, like having the
Speaker 2: Spice Girls on, kind of bonding over that band. Was
Speaker 2: that like a formative band?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, okay, well est he was kind of going
Speaker 1: into like new metal metals.
Speaker 5: I was kind of living a double like a double life.
Speaker 2: Openly admit that I did the new metal thing as well.
Speaker 2: So you've got you've got a friend in that, Okay.
Speaker 5: So I was like very much into corn okay to
Speaker 5: Marilyn Manson and spand called Orgy number them and Limp Biscuit,
Speaker 5: and I remember like going to Hot Topic and you know,
Speaker 5: like getting all the regalia and then being so hard
Speaker 5: and so into all those bands, and then getting home
Speaker 5: from school my sisters when I would all get home
Speaker 5: at the same time, and then like taking off all
Speaker 5: of that stuff and putting on like like jack dress,
Speaker 5: Union Jack dress and like like platform like union jack
Speaker 5: boots and playing Spice Girls with my sisters. So I'm
Speaker 5: very I was very much like when I was at school,
Speaker 5: I was like, oh such an eye roll spice girls
Speaker 5: like who are they again? And then literally I would
Speaker 5: come home I'm like stop right, yeah, like doing all
Speaker 5: the choreography. But yeah, new Metal was Wow, what a time.
Speaker 2: Yeah it's not aged well. But also I also like,
Speaker 2: I'm not like, I'll never deny that I wasn't into it.
Speaker 2: I don't.
Speaker 5: I definitely don't hide it. And I think my bass
Speaker 5: playing was also very like it was very much informed
Speaker 5: by like Fieldy and like I bought a five string
Speaker 5: bass when I got into that stuff and like you
Speaker 5: key head the baseline. So yeah, and I don't know
Speaker 5: if I would have I like to think that I
Speaker 5: still have like a little bit of that in my
Speaker 5: base playing. There's still like a little bit of slab
Speaker 5: base that I do sometimes. But yeah, I'm still very
Speaker 5: much I mean It'll come on like on my on
Speaker 5: my shovel sometimes and I'll be like, yeah, we.
Speaker 1: Really want Yeah, it really took a turn, like right
Speaker 1: at the beginning, well it's such a position.
Speaker 3: Did you get to run it?
Speaker 2: I remember going to Sea Corn and I was wearing
Speaker 2: one of those big wallet Yeah yeah, yeah, really heavy
Speaker 2: chain a Camden market nice and afterwards there was an
Speaker 2: enormous queue going back, like stretching along. This is a
Speaker 2: Wembe arena, so huge qu afterwards because you had your
Speaker 2: metal chain confiscated on the way in because they thought
Speaker 2: it could be used as a weapon, right, and so
Speaker 2: like we had all these like fifteen sixteen year old
Speaker 2: kids like trying to pick up their metal wallet chains
Speaker 2: an hour and a half to get away. That feels
Speaker 2: like it would be a good hash on Twitter, isn't
Speaker 2: it that you're.
Speaker 5: Was that kind of like your you think, like the
Speaker 5: fad that you were kind of a part of, like
Speaker 5: when you were in like high school in middle school?
Speaker 3: Yeah, was that, like I think?
Speaker 2: I think, I think definitely, But then I too that
Speaker 2: was kind of I suppose it was a gateway then
Speaker 2: to sort of like heavier and more experimental bands. Like
Speaker 2: after that, I went and listened to bands like at
Speaker 2: the Drive in and got really excited about that, and
Speaker 2: then for a while I was I didn't really admit
Speaker 2: that I.
Speaker 4: Loved and then the strokes came out right exactly exactly,
Speaker 4: and then you got skinny jeans and convers we.
Speaker 1: Talk about that, like the switch over to one of
Speaker 1: the strokes came out like literally my life changed.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it doesn't feel like musical like eras are defined
Speaker 2: quite the same way now, does it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I feel like it's in hindsight. I feel like
Speaker 4: like I feel like in ten years will it'll we'll
Speaker 4: see like the Divide almost. I feel like it's hard
Speaker 4: when you're in it to like decipher what genres are
Speaker 4: or something. I don't know, I think, yeah, I think
Speaker 4: at times it takes time, But I.
Speaker 5: Do feel that was like a definitive like we had.
Speaker 5: I had like black eyeliner and like gauges in my
Speaker 5: ears and like I don't know, like a bleach blonde mullet.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: And then I saw the video for Last Night and
Speaker 5: I remember like unscrewing my gauges like feverishly and like
Speaker 5: wiping black eylander off of my eyes, and I bought
Speaker 5: an army jacket the next day through that. I actually
Speaker 5: do still have that paper. Actually I didn't get rid
Speaker 5: of any of like that stuff.
Speaker 2: I kept everything metal memory. Yeah, when you released the
Speaker 2: debut album like twenty thirteen, it was like the early
Speaker 2: years of streaming wasn't it like that was starting to
Speaker 2: become a thing. And like at that stage, like the
Speaker 2: idea of genre and like boundaries kind of melted away
Speaker 2: a bit more, and it was just this sense of
Speaker 2: people when it came to music being like, you like
Speaker 2: what you like, and there didn't seem to be any
Speaker 2: of that stuff we just talked about with Neu metal
Speaker 2: and being kind of like these days, it doesn't matter
Speaker 2: if you like hip hop, if you like new metal,
Speaker 2: if you like jazz or whatever.
Speaker 5: It all just goes together, live kind of together in
Speaker 5: the same place.
Speaker 2: Yeah. And I think with time, like when you arrived
Speaker 2: one minute you're on stage with or Big g Lespie
Speaker 2: from Final Scream and like seemingly like two minutes later
Speaker 2: supporting Taylor Swift or something like that, And it feels
Speaker 2: like genre has never been it's never really been something
Speaker 2: that comes into heime because your world seems very open.
Speaker 2: Has it ever been like a conscious thing or is
Speaker 2: it just you've always just been very open minded, whether
Speaker 2: it's Spice Girls or whatever. It might be Metallica or something.
Speaker 4: I just think we've always loved like a lot of
Speaker 4: different types of music. And I think growing up, you know,
Speaker 4: we also went to like an arts high school. I
Speaker 4: was always around a lot of jazz musicians, and I
Speaker 4: love jazz, and I loved all my friends, but they
Speaker 4: were always so they had such strong opinions about certain
Speaker 4: types of music, and it always just turned me off.
Speaker 4: So I feel like we've always just been very open
Speaker 4: minded about music. And also like growing up loving spice girls,
Speaker 4: loving pop music, We've always just been kind of pop
Speaker 4: fans but also liked a lot of different types of music.
Speaker 4: And you know, I think, yeah, I just think we've
Speaker 4: always just dabbled and all different types of things.
Speaker 5: And then I mean, I I've talked about this, I
Speaker 5: think a lot, but I went to university for world music.
Speaker 5: I think that also came from listening to a lot
Speaker 5: of different types of music growing up because of our
Speaker 5: parents and they were such big music lovers, and we
Speaker 5: listened to a lot of like Bulgarian music growing up
Speaker 5: and Tehano music. And I think that also.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I always too it like I feel like
Speaker 4: every time like we'd see like an old documentary on
Speaker 4: you know, like Tom Petty or like the Beatles, like
Speaker 4: they were always just saying I mean I remember Tom
Speaker 4: Petty saying like a really an early interview with him,
Speaker 4: and he was just always like I just wanted to
Speaker 4: like learn songs on the radio. And I always like thought, yeah,
Speaker 4: me too, Like that's all I want, like the radio. Also,
Speaker 4: we always talk about this too, because we've thought about
Speaker 4: this too. But we also trace kind of our musical
Speaker 4: knowledge back to like always being driving in our cars,
Speaker 4: like with our parents in LA because we were always
Speaker 4: in the car. You're always stuck in traffic, you're always
Speaker 4: going to one side of the city, and we you know,
Speaker 4: at that in the nineties, my parents, we didn't have
Speaker 4: like a CD player in the car, we hardly had tapes,
Speaker 4: so we would just listen to the radio. And we're
Speaker 4: so lucky. In LA there's so many different types of
Speaker 4: radio stations. It's like, you know, the the oldies station
Speaker 4: which played like now it plays. It's so funny because
Speaker 4: when we were growing up, it was just fifties, sixties
Speaker 4: and seventies, and then like gradually now it plays like
Speaker 4: early two thousands, and we're like, oh my god, it
Speaker 4: plays like.
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god, all these songs are
Speaker 1: so old, and now I know songs that are played
Speaker 1: on the oldies station that like came out like when
Speaker 1: I was like seven, and oh my god, I'm the
Speaker 1: oldies station now.
Speaker 4: But yeah, I mean that, and then like obviously the
Speaker 4: pop stations and then the alternative stations on the rock stations.
Speaker 4: I think it's a little different here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we say there's so much choice. I totally get that.
Speaker 2: When when you're in LA that is the thing you
Speaker 2: almost like just hop in between stations, like you you
Speaker 2: It's the equivalent now of having the choice of one
Speaker 2: hundred different playlists on Spotify totally and you just go,
Speaker 2: I just want a bit of that and I want
Speaker 2: to be Yeah, like American radio is a bit like that, isn't.
Speaker 2: You just will go, you change, you switch the dial,
Speaker 2: and it's something different. In the UK, it was a
Speaker 2: smaller group of maybe more influential radio stations because they
Speaker 2: there wasn't as much choice.
Speaker 4: Right, I mean I think also we didn't. We were
Speaker 4: kind of late also to get CD player. I think
Speaker 4: the first CD player we got was like in the
Speaker 4: late like early two thousands.
Speaker 5: I think I like just started and just started eighth grader.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so like we just would listen to the radio
Speaker 4: all the time and a CD walkman.
Speaker 2: When she got see.
Speaker 4: Yeah, once we got Yeah, I think I got I've
Speaker 4: got my first CD walkman, I think in like eighth
Speaker 4: eighth grade.
Speaker 2: Fold out thing.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I still have one that has DVDs in it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, what a time.
Speaker 5: We're gonna bring it on tour so we can watch
Speaker 5: DVDs in the van.
Speaker 4: The best thing in high school was getting like mixed
Speaker 4: CDs like that.
Speaker 1: He was like, I spent so much time doing mix
Speaker 1: CDs because I loved creating, like the I made like
Speaker 1: booklets for them, and like I remember getting all like
Speaker 1: old magazines and like chopping them up and doing like
Speaker 1: collages for all my friends for their mix CDs. Yeah.
Speaker 5: Lost.
Speaker 4: The first time I heard like Animal Collective sung tongs,
Speaker 4: it was like on a mixed ed and I was like,
Speaker 4: it was like that. But then I think it was
Speaker 4: also maybe cap Power something, and I think that must
Speaker 4: have been in ninth grade, and I was like, wow,
Speaker 4: like I'm in high school and listening to is.
Speaker 5: That the one that Dylan made?
Speaker 4: I think? So, yeah, God, I wish.
Speaker 2: There was like a really romantic equivalent of that. Now.
Speaker 2: I guess it's just.
Speaker 4: Like sending a playlist. I don't know it like is.
Speaker 2: A digital link that where it's like if you got
Speaker 2: given a CDR that somebody had like handwritten all the
Speaker 2: things on the track, and you'd be like, oh this
Speaker 2: this person like really likes me or that kind of
Speaker 2: or you know, my friend really wants me to get
Speaker 2: into get out of Newmail and get into and we'll collect.
Speaker 3: Yeah funny.
Speaker 5: I think people before that, well, like my uncles and
Speaker 5: aunts would be like I remember when I used to
Speaker 5: send mixed tapes to people, like that's a lost art
Speaker 5: and I'd be like, oh my god, uncle Rober're sold,
Speaker 5: but now it's actually.
Speaker 4: My first boyfriend did send me a mixtape.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was so cool.
Speaker 4: Hely sent me. This must have been in what two
Speaker 4: thousand and six one, Like CDs were like readily available,
Speaker 4: but he sent me like a mix tape. There was
Speaker 4: a lot. He was actually from Canada and he was
Speaker 4: the first person to show me FIST because I think
Speaker 4: let it die. I'd like just come as before the
Speaker 4: reminder and yeah we were big FIST fans. But yeah,
Speaker 4: Broken Social Scene, all that, good.
Speaker 2: Great bands, Arcid Fire, Yeah there was a collection.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So the first time that I ever met you, ever
Speaker 2: spoke to you, was in twenty thirteen. It was January
Speaker 2: because you just won the BBC Sound of Pole and
Speaker 2: that's almost seven years ago.
Speaker 3: Now, I know, crazy and it's gone.
Speaker 2: Really so quickly. When you think back to that time,
Speaker 2: that period of kind of almost going through the process
Speaker 2: of being a band that starts getting talked about that
Speaker 2: you know, the classic hype cycle. You know, people you
Speaker 2: know tipping you as a new band and everything else.
Speaker 2: The BBC Sound of Pole and then going into UK
Speaker 2: festival season. I seem to remember that following summer you
Speaker 2: played Glastonbury and Ready and Leads and things like that.
Speaker 2: How do you look back on that period because it
Speaker 2: must have been. Yeah, just the process of going through
Speaker 2: being that kind of hyped, brand new band and you
Speaker 2: suddenly just submerged in this world. It was just take
Speaker 2: it to was.
Speaker 3: It was crazy.
Speaker 4: I mean I think I had the best last time.
Speaker 4: We look back and we're just like, oh, it's so fun.
Speaker 1: Like, well, we had been playing in LA at that
Speaker 1: point for seven years, playing every venue possible in LA,
Speaker 1: like yeah, Cloud Museum, Yeah, Like we had been playing, right,
Speaker 1: was it five years?
Speaker 4: What was it at that point?
Speaker 5: Seven o seven was our first gig, but we'd been
Speaker 5: writing music but like, how long had we before we
Speaker 5: came to the UK.
Speaker 4: We came in the twenty twelve, so five years.
Speaker 3: Five years.
Speaker 1: So yeah, we had been playing like every venue in
Speaker 1: LA just trying to get signed and you know, not
Speaker 1: being able to record a song because we didn't really
Speaker 1: know what we were doing in the studio at that point.
Speaker 4: We couldn't get our MySpace popping.
Speaker 3: Yeah, let me tell you what a time.
Speaker 1: What a time getting your MySpace popping. And then when
Speaker 1: we started coming to the UK, it was just kind
Speaker 1: of a because I had never been here before before.
Speaker 1: I played a show here, like landing here was the
Speaker 1: first time I was ever show probably.
Speaker 4: Been Julian Casablancas and he played where we play Brixton.
Speaker 4: I don't remember what the venue we play for that tour.
Speaker 4: I think it was Brixton.
Speaker 2: So you had a slight taste of yeah, oh my.
Speaker 1: Gosh, it was like and Yell came home was like
Speaker 1: I took the tube.
Speaker 5: I'm like, oh my gosh, how what about it?
Speaker 3: Tell me everything?
Speaker 4: So you also being here with Julian was also it's
Speaker 4: like he's like I felt like at the time, like
Speaker 4: he was like John Lennon or something like it was
Speaker 4: like Beatlemania like around him, like people were like screaming.
Speaker 4: You know, I feel like he's kind of like a
Speaker 4: I mean, he's a legend in general.
Speaker 1: Well he also the Strokes also kind of started and
Speaker 1: they broke here.
Speaker 3: They broke here.
Speaker 2: Absolutely remember it. Well. I mean, you've played the Reading
Speaker 2: Festival number of times now, but I was at that
Speaker 2: Reading Festival where they had to kind of get bumped up. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I heard about realized this was like folks.
Speaker 4: I was like, I feel like I've read like wikipedias
Speaker 4: about this gig.
Speaker 2: It's definitely like a UK live music history. Yeah, He's like,
Speaker 2: we need to get that band out of the tent
Speaker 2: because there's going to like forty thousand people that want
Speaker 2: to see them. Yeah. Was that helpful kind of having
Speaker 2: somebody who'd already did that help? Did he kind of
Speaker 2: have some words of guidance just to sort of oh.
Speaker 4: Julien at that point. I mean I hadn't really talked
Speaker 4: to Julian in a while by the time we got
Speaker 4: to the UK, but I will say having toured with
Speaker 4: him and Jenny Lewis and like being the guitarist for
Speaker 4: them and stuff, it definitely I mean I didn't know,
Speaker 4: like I didn't know what like an agent was, Like
Speaker 4: I didn't know, of course. Like I look like we
Speaker 4: always say like behind the music that VHR. I don't
Speaker 4: know if you guys had that yet. Yeah, yeah, yeah
Speaker 4: that was like our like we would just like or
Speaker 4: Bible would study, like, oh my god. I mean it's
Speaker 4: so funny because like I feel like all the all
Speaker 4: the ones we saw were for like when we're when
Speaker 4: bands got signed in like the eighties and the seventies,
Speaker 4: and they were all just like, yeah, we were playing
Speaker 4: a club and we got scouted by or whatever, like
Speaker 4: by our label. So we always thought like that's how
Speaker 4: you make it in the music anyway. Yeah, like stuff
Speaker 4: like that, and just touring in general. I mean I
Speaker 4: had I truly was like I was such a big
Speaker 4: fan of Jenny Lewis and I was such a huge
Speaker 4: fan of Julian, Like when I was in their bands
Speaker 4: and I never told them I was like the weird,
Speaker 4: creepy girl and I was like, yeah, I don't what
Speaker 4: band were you in to Julian, you.
Speaker 2: Know, I would always kind of just saying it so cool.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I tried to play it cool because I don't want
Speaker 4: them to think I was like a total creep, but
Speaker 4: the strike side, yeah, yeah, but I definitely think like
Speaker 4: it helped me just understand like, oh, there's a tour manager.
Speaker 4: Oh there's an agent, there's a Manager's like okay, And
Speaker 4: I feel like that kind of helped us figure out
Speaker 4: like what this crazy industry is a little bit. When
Speaker 4: we came here to play shows, we had just played
Speaker 4: south By Southwest in the US and we didn't get accepted,
Speaker 4: but we just like went anyway because we knew a
Speaker 4: lot of people that were playing and you know, I
Speaker 4: feel like there's so many shows that aren't like official showcases.
Speaker 4: At SOUTHWIS, we were just like, we're just going to go,
Speaker 4: and we had just released our EP and there was
Speaker 4: like a little bit of traction. They were like, oh
Speaker 4: my god, people are coming to the shows and then
Speaker 4: but still nobody wanted to sign us. So then when
Speaker 4: we came here for the first time our mission, we're like,
Speaker 4: we want to get signed. That was like our mission
Speaker 4: at our first show, because there had been a little
Speaker 4: buzz and we had heard that like maybe some labels
Speaker 4: were coming, so we were truly on a mission.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you were like, we're going to go to the UK.
Speaker 2: You're going to do a VH one and we're going
Speaker 2: to get yah.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: But truly our dream like going into it because we
Speaker 4: were such big fans of The Strokes and of like
Speaker 4: there's so many you know, white stripes, there's so many
Speaker 4: American bands that broke here, and we only like dreamed
Speaker 4: that we could be also like in that kind of club.
Speaker 2: Fast forward a few years. I went to ask you
Speaker 2: about some of the incredible experiences you had the last
Speaker 2: few years, starting with Coachella last year where you performed
Speaker 2: just before beyoncet. Yeah, I mean, how was that.
Speaker 1: One of the scariest moments of my life. I mean
Speaker 1: I can't even believe that we said yes to be honest,
Speaker 1: Like it's like literally, David and Glith, I mean we
Speaker 1: are the biggest Beyonce fans, like uh, like in the world.
Speaker 1: I mean like when I I've seen her perform so
Speaker 1: many times and she's such an incredible like I can't
Speaker 1: even call her anything other than an icon.
Speaker 4: I Mean, we referenced Desty's child in our in our
Speaker 4: Forever video, our first music video, so when it came
Speaker 4: to Coachelle, I mean that had been our childhood festival.
Speaker 1: I mean, that was like my Glostonbury, even though it's
Speaker 1: not even close.
Speaker 3: Compare.
Speaker 1: I'm astonished that you're even no, I know, but that
Speaker 1: was like my festival when I went when I was fifteen,
Speaker 1: Like I went. That was like my fifteen year old
Speaker 1: like going to Coachella. Yeah, so it was just like
Speaker 1: the I think it was one of the craziest moments
Speaker 1: in my life. I had never been more nervous. I mean,
Speaker 1: I never get nervous playing a show, but when y're
Speaker 1: before an icon, it's kind of like I have never
Speaker 1: been more scared. But it was actually it actually ended
Speaker 1: up being super fun and I got to get a
Speaker 1: really it's spot to watch Beyonce, so I think it
Speaker 1: was like it was worth it. I was like I
Speaker 1: got to play the show. I got like a trime
Speaker 1: spot to watch the whole show.
Speaker 3: It was crazy.
Speaker 2: I wasn't there, but I have watched the Homecoming film
Speaker 2: and I must admit the hairs on the back of
Speaker 2: my neck went up when I watched it, because if
Speaker 2: anybody hasn't seen it, she opened the show with like
Speaker 2: a massive kind of cast of musicians and dances and
Speaker 2: they started on the runway. Didn't they they moved stage
Speaker 2: and as this pyramid and the band started playing Crazy
Speaker 2: in Love in a sort of New Orleans sort of
Speaker 2: brass band style, and then she like arrived on like
Speaker 2: a pneumatic platform, and I was like, by the time
Speaker 2: she you got eyes on Beyonce, You're like, this is
Speaker 2: the greatest opening.
Speaker 1: Totally other than are opening.
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. Secondarily, I'm kidding, I'm totally kidding.
Speaker 2: Was it as electric being there stupid.
Speaker 1: Like times like fifty I mean, like she is just
Speaker 1: I mean, I could go on and on about Beyonce,
Speaker 1: but it really I mean going to Coachella that many times.
Speaker 3: I mean I'd going.
Speaker 1: I had said that I had been going since I
Speaker 1: was fifteen. Like you see so many headliners and then
Speaker 1: Beyonce headlines, and then I'm terrified for whoever has to play.
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, I guess all the people played last year.
Speaker 1: But it was a show that you honestly could not
Speaker 1: be It's it was the most incredible show I'd ever seen.
Speaker 3: In my whole life.
Speaker 1: And there was and you could tell, like every detail
Speaker 1: of that show was like so particular, like you know,
Speaker 1: they'd been like practicing that show for months and months
Speaker 1: and months. I mean, we only got a month practice before.
Speaker 3: Luckily.
Speaker 1: I think the thing that was like super funny about
Speaker 1: is like when we heard that we were opening up
Speaker 1: for Beyonce, we were like, oh my gosh, we got
Speaker 1: to call in the troops. So like we called Paul
Speaker 1: Thomas Anderson and he kind of helped direct us through
Speaker 1: our show, which was like the biggest gift. And I
Speaker 1: think it was also fun for him because he had
Speaker 1: never I don't think he even thought like in his
Speaker 1: life that he would like help with the stage show,
Speaker 1: and he kind of helped us with like every step
Speaker 1: of the way during that performance, so he wanted to
Speaker 1: start our show. Our big entrance was like a camera
Speaker 1: following us backstage, and then we ended up on the stage,
Speaker 1: and that was also like terrifying because I was like,
Speaker 1: if I trip when I'm walking towards the stage and
Speaker 1: there's like a camera on me, It's just going to
Speaker 1: be really embarrassing. It's one of those shows that I
Speaker 1: look back at it and I'm so happy that we
Speaker 1: did it, but I'm so happy it's not like that
Speaker 1: I don't have to do it again. Yeah, Like I'm
Speaker 1: really happy that I can just put that in my
Speaker 1: mental role deecks. I get to tell my grandchildren, like
Speaker 1: your grandma opened up for Beyonce once at a festival
Speaker 1: and that was tight. Yeah.
Speaker 2: It's an art in itself, isn't it arriving on stage,
Speaker 2: like when you think about I mean, that entrance that
Speaker 2: you made sounds fantastic. But over the years I've seen
Speaker 2: different artists do it in different ways, like the classic
Speaker 2: curtain drop right, yeah, totally, like the one band member
Speaker 2: coming on at a time thing.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, we've done that you. Oh yeah, it's a
Speaker 3: good move. Yeah.
Speaker 2: What's the best apart from your own way doing it
Speaker 2: at the moment? What's the best you've seen?
Speaker 1: I mean, I've always wanted to do the elevator. That
Speaker 1: seems so much fun. I mean, I don't think that'll
Speaker 1: ever work for us because we have instruments like I
Speaker 1: don't know, like our guitar, like our cable will like
Speaker 1: get caught in the elevator, like one of us will
Speaker 1: fall to our death. But like the elevator gag is
Speaker 1: really coolest, the slow elevator and just you're just holding
Speaker 1: close crazy, No, it's the coolest. It's definitely I think
Speaker 1: the coolest way to get on stage.
Speaker 5: Plus you probably like the least coolest way to get
Speaker 5: on stages. What if all three of us rode in
Speaker 5: on segways?
Speaker 3: Yeah, that is Yeah, I don't think it might be
Speaker 3: the least cool I don't know.
Speaker 1: That's the better question is what's like the least cool way.
Speaker 3: To get on stage?
Speaker 5: Walk on stage? Yeah, definitely out there, probably not the
Speaker 5: best way.
Speaker 2: When you toured that last record, you came to the UK,
Speaker 2: did some shows in Europe, but you also played in
Speaker 2: the States, and you were joined on the tour by
Speaker 2: Lizzie's and so yeah, have you've been watching from the
Speaker 2: kind of sidelines sort of cheering her?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I Mean the thing is is, like Liza has
Speaker 1: been around for so long, She's worked so hard. She's
Speaker 1: honestly one of the hardest workers I've ever met, and
Speaker 1: also like the best opener we've ever had.
Speaker 3: But she works so.
Speaker 1: Insanely hard, and like seeing how people have just fallen
Speaker 1: in love with her, like I'm just like yeller late.
Speaker 4: But also our crowd, like I feel like when she
Speaker 4: was opening for us, like our crowd just like was
Speaker 4: so like in awe of her and and we were
Speaker 4: just like this is gonna like she's gonna.
Speaker 3: Be yeah the year and like, truly, she just.
Speaker 4: Sold out two nights at Radio City, which is what
Speaker 4: we did with her, So we're like so stoked for her.
Speaker 3: We're so happy for her.
Speaker 1: She honestly deserves every ounce of credits that she's getting.
Speaker 1: She is so good live and everyone that's around her,
Speaker 1: I mean, she has it's It really did kind of
Speaker 1: feel like family when she was on tour.
Speaker 3: But yeah, she's killer. Like, she's so good.
Speaker 2: In terms of your own music, Summer Girl, this is
Speaker 2: the single that's out in the moment you're over here
Speaker 2: that you've been playing and kind of talking about Danielle.
Speaker 2: You've kind of been quite open about talking about the
Speaker 2: origins of that song, kind of where it came from.
Speaker 2: Would you mind that telling me a little bit about that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, a couple of years ago. It was actually during
Speaker 4: the making of something to tell you. My boyfriend got
Speaker 4: diagnosed with cancer and he's also our producer, Aril, So
Speaker 4: you know, a lot of people, I think when we
Speaker 4: were coming out with our last album, you know a
Speaker 4: lot of the things that were thrown I was like, oh,
Speaker 4: you guys took so long, and it was not something
Speaker 4: that I it was not my place to share that information.
Speaker 4: So when we did end up releasing it Ril, I
Speaker 4: think it was like a couple months later, he like
Speaker 4: told a story and so anyway, so that happened, and
Speaker 4: during that time, I sorry, I'm just like going through
Speaker 4: a little bit. During that time, I was trying to
Speaker 4: write and I had this idea and I brought up
Speaker 4: Garage Band on my phone, which is a lot of
Speaker 4: is the program that I usually used to like write
Speaker 4: a lot, And so I brought up Garage Band and
Speaker 4: I kind of did this little bassline on it. That's
Speaker 4: actually the bass the electric bassline, not this not the
Speaker 4: double bassline, but the electric bassline on Summer Girl is
Speaker 4: from my original garage band demo. There's this program on
Speaker 4: it on Garage Band called like smart Bass, and you
Speaker 4: literally just you can play it kind of like a
Speaker 4: drum machine almost. It's like different, it's just a bass sound,
Speaker 4: but you can literally pluck out different notes. Anyway, Yeah,
Speaker 4: so I wrote that bassline and I kind of came
Speaker 4: up with this like do do do. This is a
Speaker 4: little doo doo doot melody and I kept singing these
Speaker 4: like words like I'm your sunny girl, I'm your summer girl.
Speaker 4: I'm your fuzzy. I mean, like I just want to
Speaker 4: be at that moment. I just kind of wanted to
Speaker 4: be Ril's kind of you know, warmth when he was
Speaker 4: feeling really kind of down. And so yeah, I wrote
Speaker 4: that demo really quickly on my phone and kind of
Speaker 4: didn't really think a lot about it. And that must
Speaker 4: have been in two thousand and seventeen or sixteen, something
Speaker 4: like that. And I was in the shower, like in April,
Speaker 4: because I don't know, I get I feel like I
Speaker 4: get a lot of my like ideas in the shower.
Speaker 4: I feel like a lot of people do. I don't
Speaker 4: know what it is a lot of I don't know.
Speaker 4: It's so weird. But I had remembered. I was like, oh,
Speaker 4: there was that, like that baseline. I just really remember
Speaker 4: the baseline and I was like, what is that?
Speaker 3: What is that?
Speaker 4: And I opened up my phone and I had the
Speaker 4: garage band session and I remember listening to be like,
Speaker 4: there's something in here. I don't know what it is,
Speaker 4: but there's something about this. So I took it to
Speaker 4: ross Dam and he all also heard he heard something
Speaker 4: in it. I mean, I have the demo, I can
Speaker 4: pull it up. Mm hmm, I still have it. M yeah,
Speaker 4: and then.
Speaker 5: Not record.
Speaker 4: Sorry, I want to keep I should like actually I
Speaker 4: redid the drums, but that's actually a pretty good drum sound.
Speaker 4: I needs to kind of start and stop. I haven't here.
Speaker 2: It's amazing just how honest, like the final product is
Speaker 2: to like the original idea.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, it's weird question.
Speaker 4: I'm like, I'm not gonna like people think I'm like
Speaker 4: sponsored by garage band, but truly, truly, I mean, that's
Speaker 4: a whole other conversation, Like I I we truly we
Speaker 4: talked about it earlier, like when we were coming up
Speaker 4: in La like again, like MySpace was like all what
Speaker 4: the bookers cared about, and like for some reason, we'd
Speaker 4: save up all of our money and we've I've talked
Speaker 4: about this before, but I think it's important. Like we
Speaker 4: saved all of our money and we would go into
Speaker 4: like really nice studio for one day and try to
Speaker 4: bang out a couple songs and just sonic. Like it
Speaker 4: was so hard to get something like I didn't know
Speaker 4: anything about recording or we didn't know anything about that stuff.
Speaker 4: So we would go in just kind of like a
Speaker 4: blank in a blank studio and come out with something
Speaker 4: that just sounded so generic sonically. And it wasn't until
Speaker 4: I got my first Mac and it came with garage
Speaker 4: band that you could do. You can make something sound
Speaker 4: so unique and interesting in a manner of minutes, and
Speaker 4: son sonics also really help us write stuff.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've heard you talk a little bit about how
Speaker 2: with some AGirl in particular, like you had the idea.
Speaker 2: I guess the process from initial idea to song to
Speaker 2: video to getting out there was one of the quickest
Speaker 2: that you've had. Yeah, is that something you're keen to
Speaker 2: embrace now because you felt that you've maybe when you've
Speaker 2: been in the studio in the past, you've kind of
Speaker 2: not overthought things, but you found yourself kind of sometimes
Speaker 2: starting and stopping. Now you just sort of want to
Speaker 2: embrace that sense of like, we've got a song, let's
Speaker 2: make it, let's put it out.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think you know it's so funny. But also
Speaker 4: we're talking about, you know, twenty thirteen versus now, and
Speaker 4: even though it's I guess, I mean seven years is
Speaker 4: kind of a lot of time, but everything's changed so
Speaker 4: much with releasing music, you know, and we were first
Speaker 4: starting it was like it took what like two months
Speaker 4: from like final product to like actually coming out. Yeah,
Speaker 4: and now it truly can take like less than a week.
Speaker 4: I mean it could be in an instant rich really
Speaker 4: just uploaded to SoundCloud or whatever. But yeah, I think
Speaker 4: now we're kind of embracing that as maybe part of
Speaker 4: our process for this new record is just kind of
Speaker 4: like that's release a song, Like we're excited to kind
Speaker 4: of explore that, and hopefully we'll be doing that soon.
Speaker 2: When you've done in London, you head in, how am
Speaker 2: you gonna stop carry on writing?
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're going home and trying to finish up some songs.
Speaker 1: We have like a block of songs that were that
Speaker 1: are almost done that we decided to come to London
Speaker 1: to get like an ear break. It's always really good
Speaker 1: to get like a little bit of an ear break.
Speaker 2: It's like a long weekend away.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a break again.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's good because we're gonna come home, like listen
Speaker 1: to the songs and be like we have to change
Speaker 1: so much because we finally got an ear break. But no,
Speaker 1: we're coming home and working on on the music and
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, we're gonna release something really soon. Right now,
Speaker 1: we're kind of just wanting to release like songs here
Speaker 1: and there, but obviously, like we're an album band. We
Speaker 1: love being an album band. We love making records, So
Speaker 1: we'll put out a record soon. We always soon is
Speaker 1: our favorite word.
Speaker 2: It's fine because it didn't define any period of.
Speaker 3: Time tomorrow, in a couple of months, you know.
Speaker 2: Going back to the stuff that we were talking about,
Speaker 2: some of those experiences you've had the last like seven years,
Speaker 2: how is it felt having the experience? There were very
Speaker 2: few artists that get the opportunity to play in a
Speaker 2: sweaty club, you know, your classic kind of like almost
Speaker 2: like a bar room style venue, five hundred people singing
Speaker 2: every word to a band that gets to walk out
Speaker 2: on stage supporting Taylor Swift in a stadium or something.
Speaker 2: Do you have a preference over that? Which one you
Speaker 2: buzz off more?
Speaker 4: I feel like we've like I feel like opening up
Speaker 4: for artists has been like the best thing and has
Speaker 4: taught us so much. I mean, we've opened up for
Speaker 4: so many people of Phoenix, Kings of Leon, Florence, momfriend
Speaker 4: and sons. Julian actually our first Julian took us out
Speaker 4: on tour on tour. That was our first opening up
Speaker 4: gig was and there actually our first gigs out of
Speaker 4: Los Angeles when I was when I was playing with Julian,
Speaker 4: he asked if we wanted to open up. I don't
Speaker 4: even know why, Like.
Speaker 3: I know, I remember getting the call. I remember getting it.
Speaker 4: I was like, what you want us? Like, we don't
Speaker 4: even have a freaking like good record, like we we
Speaker 4: only have three sons.
Speaker 3: I know, literally that's a good question. I've never thought
Speaker 3: of that, thought about that, like why did he.
Speaker 5: Think he felt bad that he was taking Danielle away
Speaker 5: from us? And in a weird way, he was being like
Speaker 5: really kind and just being like, you know what, bring
Speaker 5: your sisters, like you guys can have fun. And Alana
Speaker 5: was still in high school having graduated yet, and I
Speaker 5: was just about to graduate from college, and I think
Speaker 5: both of us kind of risked like the idea of
Speaker 5: not graduating to go on tour, which was the best
Speaker 5: decision ever. I mean, like I think when we were
Speaker 5: when we were like posed with the question, was kind
Speaker 5: of like there's nobody going that was just.
Speaker 4: Really the biggest thing we I mean I don't like, yeah,
Speaker 4: just the idea of like the idea of going traveling
Speaker 4: across the country with Julian Casablancas, like sounded like we
Speaker 4: were like on app like going through like a strange
Speaker 4: acid right, But.
Speaker 1: Like to what Danielle was like saying, like opening up
Speaker 1: for us was like I think for me, when I
Speaker 1: look back on it was the biggest gift because you really,
Speaker 1: a it's like practice because you have to play every night,
Speaker 1: but you also learn so much about you know, being
Speaker 1: in a band and playing shows and like putting on
Speaker 1: a show and all these things, and like there were
Speaker 1: so many awkward years that we were opening up for
Speaker 1: people that we could like kind of get that out
Speaker 1: by the time we were headlining shows, I mean, just
Speaker 1: getting the opportunity to play was like the biggest deal
Speaker 1: for us. And opening up for like so many bands,
Speaker 1: I mean like they're like people were calling us like
Speaker 1: bridesmaids and never the brides, Like we were always openers,
Speaker 1: never headliners, which was so fun. I mean honestly, opening
Speaker 1: still like it's great you get to play the show
Speaker 1: and like drink afterwards, like rage. Now we're a little
Speaker 1: bit more serious, but we were lucky enough to have
Speaker 1: all those people bring us out on tour and then
Speaker 1: when we got to headlining shows, we kind of felt
Speaker 1: like we like went to college a little bit, like
Speaker 1: like had gone through like music touring college, like we
Speaker 1: were really ready to be headliners. I do think that
Speaker 1: being a band, like if you're out there listening and
Speaker 1: you're in a band, like open up for as many
Speaker 1: people as you can, because it really is like the
Speaker 1: best experience ever and it feels like a family.
Speaker 2: Speaking of headliners, I went to Premia er Sound in Barcelon.
Speaker 1: Oh. Yeah, that's such a good festival.
Speaker 2: Amazing festival when I know that you've played a number
Speaker 2: of times before. Something they did this year that received
Speaker 2: a lot of positive press coverage and I think is
Speaker 2: great was the fact they had a fifty to fifty
Speaker 2: gender balance in their ninetiesh So, as many female artists
Speaker 2: banging as male artists, how hard do your eyes roll
Speaker 2: when you see festivals I'm making excuses for not booking
Speaker 2: female talent.
Speaker 1: It's a huge eye roll because honestly, there's so many women.
Speaker 1: There's so many amazing artists out there that are women
Speaker 1: that are playing rock music. Rock music especially, like there's
Speaker 1: so many good bands out there that are for either
Speaker 1: fronted by women, or all women and if like by now,
Speaker 1: I mean I haven't seen any festival lineups like, but
Speaker 1: it will be a huge fucking I roll. If women
Speaker 1: are not like at least fifty fifty, it should be
Speaker 1: at least fifty to fifty. Honestly, there's enough girl bands
Speaker 1: out there now that we could honestly take over festivals
Speaker 1: and be the majority. But yeah, I mean there's just
Speaker 1: so much interesting music coming from women right now and hearing.
Speaker 3: Always, you know, I think, Yeah, it's just that's a
Speaker 3: big l side.
Speaker 5: I think that's the thing that frosts our cookie is
Speaker 5: the most. Honestly, I think it's it's not only an
Speaker 5: I roll. I think that it also angers us. But
Speaker 5: like Alana said, I think that, you know, the majority
Speaker 5: of the music that my sisters and I listen to
Speaker 5: is from females. I think maybe even all of it
Speaker 5: at this point.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but yeah, we'll see this festival season, We'll see.
Speaker 3: But I have hope. I have hope.
Speaker 2: I think now that that I've taken that shown that
Speaker 2: positive example.
Speaker 3: I had, Yes, it would be awesome.
Speaker 2: Final question, Okay, this podcast is going to go out
Speaker 2: not long before Halloween. I know that you often celebrate Halloween,
Speaker 2: get dressed up, go out, have fun. What's the best
Speaker 2: Halloween costume you've ever had?
Speaker 1: And what I feel like last year was really good
Speaker 1: because we had always we were the Sanderson sisters from
Speaker 1: hocus Pocus.
Speaker 5: That a big movie here.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean it's if it's like, go watch it. Everyone
Speaker 1: needs to watch Hocus posts Still it holds up. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Bette Midler is a legend. But we were the Sanderson
Speaker 1: Sisters last year, and I honestly like we take Halloween
Speaker 1: so seriously. But I think because we did the Sanderson
Speaker 1: Sisters last year, I feel like we don't have anything tough.
Speaker 3: We set the bar so much.
Speaker 5: We went to a couple of parties in a graveyard
Speaker 5: growing up, and that was I'm obsessed with scary movies
Speaker 5: and like.
Speaker 4: I can't watch them.
Speaker 5: Stuff like this slasher films. I'm wanting too, but like
Speaker 5: I don't know, like Poltergeist and like all the old
Speaker 5: school I still like Friday the Thirteenth and even though
Speaker 5: that's kind of gory, but I am the weirdo that
Speaker 5: like goes to see the scary movie at midnight on
Speaker 5: Thursday before it comes out by herself. Because also no
Speaker 5: one will go with me, you.
Speaker 2: Guys not, No, they don't like scary movie.
Speaker 3: Absolutely not.
Speaker 5: My friends like they're like unless it's like a rom com, like,
Speaker 5: they're not gonna go see it with me. So I
Speaker 5: am again in the weirdo.
Speaker 1: Like I live alone, Like I'm not gonna try and
Speaker 1: watch a horror movie and then go home and be like, well,
Speaker 1: there's no one to protect me.
Speaker 5: Do you know what you're gonna do for Halloween this year?
Speaker 2: I don't yet, but I'm kind of out for anything.
Speaker 2: I've been some very random stuff in the past.
Speaker 5: Oh I've I look back on some of my Halloween
Speaker 5: costumes and I'm like, I must have thought I was
Speaker 5: so smart and cool, but they're the most cringe worthy costumes.
Speaker 5: One year in high school, I was like very I
Speaker 5: took this class called Art and Society, and we were
Speaker 5: studying artists, and I decided that I was going to
Speaker 5: be Picasso's Blue period And I covered myself in tampons
Speaker 5: and pads covered in blue.
Speaker 3: Like dye because your hit Pacassa's Blue.
Speaker 5: Piccassa's Blue.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're very punny on Halloween when you were when
Speaker 1: you were little.
Speaker 5: I wasn't even little. I was like sixteen, and I
Speaker 5: thought I was being so smart and I just look
Speaker 5: back on photos and my friends were like, yeah, that
Speaker 5: was really dumb. I don't know why, Like no one
Speaker 5: said anything to you.
Speaker 3: But what can you do?
Speaker 2: Be people would have seen what you come up with
Speaker 2: this year.
Speaker 3: I know, I'm very nervous. I don't know what it's
Speaker 3: going to be.
Speaker 5: Oh, I have to figure it.
Speaker 4: Out, honestly, Like Etsy is kind of like a miracle
Speaker 4: when it comes to Halloween costumes. Yeah, I mean because
Speaker 4: our like growing up, we will always just like make
Speaker 4: our own costumes, like okay, like there's one horrible I
Speaker 4: don't know what mom like thought to.
