going to control the weather.
Do you control the election?
I'm like, fuck off.
He's fucking.
They don't control the weather.
I like getting so much anti-semitic shit in my DM.
I never get the thing where like this side controls the weather.
It's like, why don't you vote for the people that can control the weather?
Yeah.
You're voting for the idiots who can't even control the weather. You're just going to get mad at the other side. Vote for the people that can control the weather. Yeah. You're voting for the idiots who can't even control the weather. You're just going to get mad at the other side. Vote for the people that can control the weather. Obviously. Yeah. Well, you're mad. I don't know. I don't get it. That's why I'll be running for president. Andy Frasco. You're born here. Yeah. Okay. I don't think L.A. counted as being born in America. Shout out to the Dodgers. They won the World Series. That was really cool. So nice to see something go LA's way for once.
I'm just glad the Yankees didn't win those white trash fans.
Did you see the people grabbing the ball?
What trashy fans?
Who was it? Mookie Betts?
Did you see Rob Grankowski's roommate from college?
Really?
Yes.
I met him.
I met Rob Grankowski.
He was so happy.
The guy was so happy trying to take the ball away from him.
He was such a coxswain. Yeah, he watched too much. I don't know too much Barstool Sports.
He's trying to get a Barstool Sports clip too bad on Twitter. Yeah, and he got it.
Well one guy was kind of funny. The guy ripping the ball out of the hand. The other guy was like hitting him.
Yeah, you're not supposed to hit the players. That's technically interference. Yeah.
Who do you think is going to win the
election? Andy? Who'd you vote for? We're not. I thought I thought you said we're not
fucking about any doesn't vote. I don't vote. My mom keeps on because they assume you have
a felony when you walk up. But no, just look like one. one smell like one dream like one
Felon dreams
Indiana yeah rules here everybody so normal and cool and calm everyone's kind of like you
Yes, cuz I'm from here. So I said they drink a lot in this town. Yeah, there's not much else Well, the weeds not legal and everybody's pretty sad. Yeah, and everyone has like five fucking kids
Yeah, Indiana is cool for like a day or two. But then if you live here you get real sad after a while
Yeah, I had a really there's darkness and clouds and you know, I mean I hang out with you every day
I see those darkness
Economy, well the economy's doing better. I guess but you know, it's just there's a lot of laws here that people don't like stuff like that
Taylor Swift was in town. Oh yeah. Our hotel was
filled with Swifties. Yeah. Annie made Bayless sing a Taylor Swift song. I'm surprised they
let you to be in a building with that many 15 year old girls in it.
Some of my jokes didn't land on this Bayless. We try to do a, we're going to get Bayless up here
after he eats, but I did a couple of jokes. They did not land. We tried to do the pedophile medley where we went from Pete.
This isn't liberal Colorado.
They don't think pedophilia is funny.
They actually think it's a bad thing.
I'm not laughing about the pedophilia.
It's so funny how different people from Illinois are different from Indiana.
Like we were played in Peoria.
We played our Kelly.
They're like, yes, give it to me.
We're like, we're going to play our Kelly.
And it was just fucking crickets.
Might've been a timing thing because there are pretty much
the same people.
I mean, Peoria and also R Kelly's from Chicago.
He is from Chicago.
So they support him still.
And Michael Jackson from Indiana.
So you should have done a Michael Jackson joke.
No, we tried that.
All the pedophile jokes.
So what are you saying?
People only like the pedophile from their home state.
It's like, oh, it's like football players. I guess guess like if you're a Browns fan, you have to pretend to Sean Watson school still I
Don't know if that's how it works
That's how the law should work. Everyone. I mean everyone in LA still loves. Oh, Jay. I still love oh, Jay
Oh, Jay. Oh, Jay. Well, that wasn't pedophilia. He just killed his wife. That's the American dream
We should be Oh, well that wasn't pedophilia. He just killed his wife. That's the American dream And I was like this is what you get paid for
Speaking of that volume calm. Thanks for paying us
This pedophilia bit is by brought to you by
Killing your wife is the American dream. He's in the hall fame. He killed his wife
He then he went to jail for something else. He went to jail for stealing his merch his own shit back. I'm filming it
Yeah, no, you're no you're getting get in there Brandon best

We don't kill our wives on volume.
That's a crime.
That sounds like a Debbie Gibson song.
Foley in my dreams.
Didn't you do a pedophile medley with Umphreys?
I'm going to go finish my dinner.
I'll be back.
Come back.
Well, to be fair, to be fair.
To be fair, you can hardly do a medley of popular songs anymore without at least one
pedophile being in there.
Why do people like kids?
I don't understand.
I don't know.
I was at Brendan's house for two hours and I was ready to never see a kid again for the
rest of my life.

Tonight, I think we sold 300 tickets tonight to this theater, too.
We're playing like this.
It's pretty good.
For a town that doesn't exist, that's pretty fucking good.
It's true.
I told my mom, hey, I'm in Hobart. We're in a limo. We're in a limo to this theater to a pretty good for a town that doesn't exist.
That's pretty fucking good.
It's true.
I told my mom, hey, I'm in Hobart.
We're in a limiter.
We're in a liminal space right now.
Yeah, I can't wait.
This is a cool city.
I'm really excited to play it.
Nick, give them some motivation.
Just go vote.
Yeah, I don't care.
Just don't be one of those people that doesn't vote and then
complains unless you want to do that.
I guess I don't really care. Just give the van keys. I don't care. Just don't be one of those people that doesn't vote and then complains unless you want to do that. I guess I don't really care.
You have the van keys.
I don't have the van keys Bob.
God that was awesome.
OK. That's my motivation for the week too.
Do you have the van keys?
Your motivation. Just find your keys.
And if don't take an L with Grace if you're if you're losing
and if you're winning don't rub it in their face.
We need to all be together.
You know. Yeah. That's what we need to all be together, you know? Yeah.
That's what we need to do.
Chris, play the heavy heavy.
The heavy heavy boys and girls.
They're fucking tight, dude.
These guys have an original sound.
They kind of sound like Stonesie, but they're modern.
The guy produces.
He does everything.
He does everything and he's...
He's a control freak.
Yeah, he's got his lovely...
Yeah, control freak. Yeah, he's he's got his lovely. Yeah control freak girl
Partner. All right guys. Enjoy it. Thanks for coming on this trip
Who do I invoice you or I'm free?
You're actually invoicing both of us. Okay, I'll figure it out. I'm actually Bayless. I'm actually Nick's
Agent and we'll be sending you an invoice for his services as well.
$13.
$13.
Oh yeah.
Remember the E-Race gone up a little bit in the last couple of years.
Now that I work for Andy Fresco.
Yeah.
He's making it.
$40.48.
All right.
We got to work on the second set.
Here we go.
Goodbye.
Bye. I'm not lying to sunset, babe Flying to heaven, don't look back
I'm no fool, babe
I'm your man
I'm no fool, babe.
I'm your man.
Time flies.
Heavy, heavy. How you guys doing?
We're doing well, thank you.
Good, thank you.
Where you guys at? You in America still on your never ending tour?
It feels like you guys have been on tour forever, dude.
Yes, it feels like that for us as well. We're in LA right now.
We're coming into the last two weeks, but we've basically been here since April.
Oh man. Do you miss home or you over England?
It's such a flip-flop situation because when you're there, you miss here and when
you're here.
Now, I don't really miss that.
You can always go back.
Yeah.
Yeah, exactly.
I'm like, what?
I was curious.
What started to pop first, America or the UK for you guys?
The UK hasn't even popped.
Yeah.
Oh, fuck them.
Oh, really?
Right?
Yeah, fuck them.
You don't need them.
I know.
Yeah, no, we have American management and labels, so they basically just won't come
over here and we'll put you into the machine.
There we go.
More venues here anyway.
You're on ATO, right? Yeah.
So what's your take? So how was that approach when you're...
Because you guys are a fairly new band and I've heard... I mean, I've been loving your records
forever. I think you have a great sound and I think you're producing is spot on with how...
It just feels timeless, these tunes. How did ATL get ahold of y'all?
Or how did you guys, did you start pitching
to all these different labels?
Or was it specifically you wanted to be on ATL?
Or how was that?
They came, they, we were sent to them by a guy online.
And the president of the label had been sent us
twice in one week.
And the first time he was like, eh. And the second second, he was like, I get sent stuff all the time.
I'm just not going to listen.
And then he got sent us again in the same week.
And he was like, okay, maybe I should listen to them.
But we only played six gigs in the UK.
And then that happened.
It was really, really wild.
So we're still kind of holding on for dear life.
Is this going to end at any moment?
Yeah.
Especially in today's modern music industry.
It's like, are you the cool kids or are you like...
Do they really...
Yeah.
Like how do labels consider, oh, we're're gonna spend more than one album on a band,
you know?
Yeah, I know.
I know it was really wild.
And, but I think ATO is,
ATO has so many of my favorite artists and bands anyway,
and they're artist focused.
They're about the music.
And I think that's quite rare these days.
Like they're more about the music
than they are about the pop machine.
Right.
Even if you're in a rock band, it seems like everybody has to fit into the pop machine.
So I think we're quite lucky that we're with them because they really care about the music
and the expression of the artist over
You know other stuff Instagram or yeah Instagram rules and heroin and money
Yeah, tick-tock is the new heroin actually yeah I heard how you're how you guys are just over fucking social media, which I thought was so cool
Tell me about that. Tell me why it's such a poison.
It's just shit, isn't it?
It's so demanding on you.
It's just so bloody vain and yeah, it's such a shame that's become the sort of current in
mainstream life, you know, it's, is defined by that shit really.
But yeah, I can't I can't be doing with it at all. But it's, it is a useful tool ultimately.
And it's you know, you have a huge window to millions of people. But the way that it's
kind of set up, it means you've got to kind of sell your soul to sort of get on those
train tracks and be relevant. But it's, yeah, I find the whole thing nauseating in the extreme.
I think if you can find ways that feel authentic to you on social media,
because I like, I like creating things.
So I actually really like the whole sort of...
Like I've started doing these tour diaries and they've actually been a great way to keep me sane.
But like that feels very authentic.
I don't feel like I'm doing anything like, oh, I'm posing and let you know all of that bullshit.
Let me get the ring light out. Yeah, let me get the ring light out for this tour diary, dude.
It's tough because like we got discovered through a Spotify playlist and Instagram.
So you can't hate on it too much because it is a really powerful tool.
Yeah.
I mean, that's how I found you guys.
Go Down River, I think the song's called.
I saw it on a Spotify list.
I'm like, holy, these motherfuckers are dope.
I thought you were American as fuck.
And then I started digging down on your stuff.
I'm like, they are British as fuck.
And I was like, damn, this is...
No, but like, what's your take on records?
Like, how do you approach records?
Like what gets you high about making such an old, timeless record?
I think it's the sound, you know.
I'm so obsessed with the 60s and the recording techniques.
You know, the way it sounds.
I love the sort of saturation on things, you know, whether that's, you know, people like
Howlin' Wolf or stuff from Muscle Shoals or even the Phil Spector stuff, the way that it's like on the edge of
break up to my ear sounds great, you know. Super warm and like full of
character and I feel like it, for one, it captures the performance better and it's
a cool way to do it, but it just sounds more...
Real?
Well, it's more like it, more like like not real, more like beautiful than real.
It's almost like a film version of real life.
The digital is so clear and clinical, it's kind of a bit like,
yeah, that's it.
But then analog sort of film or photography or whatever,
it has that beautiful kind of, not filter on it,
but it's that kind of way.
And that for me is like the most pleasing thing.
And writing into that sound is super exciting.
You know, when you've got that stuff dialed in, the reverbs and the saturation,
actually writing music that sort of fits that and works right is awesome.
You know, I think that's what drives us.
Is that the first step in your writing process? Is getting that reverb, that saturation?
Or do you write songs first?
It's more recently, I've been changing, changing tack really,
but I normally have it set up and then just sort of write into it.
That's tight.
Yeah, I try not to write.
I try not to get too producey with it straight away. I
like to sort of have the sound and just an acoustic guitar and
vocal and try and come up with a with a song within that sound.
But in the most simple terms, yeah, because you know, I've
fallen foul to sort of just building really cool grooves and
then trying to find a song and that doesn't really work. Yeah.
I'm but writing into the reverb is almost essential, especially for the vocal, you
know, hearing that sort of feedback from the actual and
the way that the phonetics are different words sound, you know,
but yeah, yeah, mixed method these days, it seems to be
different every time.
Why don't you take that same philosophy in social media?
Fuck it, just go into the verb, baby.
It's like a template. It's like a template.
Yeah, like a template.
Go find those housewives.
They must hate CGI movies.
You're not into Avatar.
But no, it's a great process.
I think people should do that more, but a lot of people aren't gifted producers.
Were you producing other bands before you were just doing your own project or was this just always like?
I just didn't be doing my own shit really. Like I've had a few, I've dabbled with a few
other things, but they haven't really been along the, the lines that I've wanted to do.
So yeah, I've just done my own thing. I had, I had another band before and I think that
my personal sort of production has evolved with my you know constantly writing this sort of music
So they come together sort of hand-in-hand. Yeah, but nicely so but we did heavy heavy and put in Georgie's voice in there
And they're at all the harmonies. It was like
This is like a the apex of what I've been trying to do really so it's working out. Yeah, I was wondering about that
Because your harmonies are so
Just intertwined with each other. I was wondering
if you guys like hook up or like dated each other or like, it's like, how did you guys
connect so quickly in two years? I mean, how do you, it feels like you guys are soulmates.
We've known each other for 10 years. We met on a recording project 10 years ago, but we formed the Heavy Heavy.
We formed the heavy, the heavy heavy just before lockdown. We played two acoustic gigs with like three demos and then COVID happened.
And then we spent COVID like we released essentially what was the EP in 2020,
just like threw it out online on Bandcamp,
blah, blah, blah, blah.
And then as restrictions lifted,
we were like, we should probably find a band.
So this was 2021.
So by the end of 2021, like October, 2021,
we played like the first, I don't know,
fucking pub gig or something and um
and then the beginning of 2022 is when we got signed but we'd known each other for years we
just hadn't we'd been working on different I mean we were yeah we were in different parts of the
country yeah it's like a certain point we put Georgie's voice on my old demos for my other my
old band and we're like ah this really fucking. And it was never really a kind of, oh shit,
they really sound good together. It's more like Georgie can sing like that.
I can sort of set it up so it's going to sound good.
But I think as we've as we've as we've gone through it,
we realize our voices do actually blend really, really well,
which is not something we considered actually, really,
because I can kind of fuck it up enough that it makes it all glue together.
We didn't realize that our voices sucked it good together
and people started saying...
Yeah, we got the other two guys at the time and they somehow fit into it as well,
which is amazing because they're such...
Sometimes you need that third-person perspective.
What songs on these records, like, have you had just demoed for like 10 years and you just feel
like it wasn't there and then you had Georgian and like, oh, fuck, it makes sense.
Oh, that's what it needed.
Yeah, there it is.
It needs a beautiful singer on top.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, sort of Go Down River, the first one that sort of pops off was definitely one of
those.
It sat there for ages and I didn't have a chorus and anything.
I just knew the verse was something really cool
and put Georgie and stuff like oh fuck, here we go. And things
like Wild Emotion on the new record that that sat for years
and years. Because you're mine. Because you're mine. I've played
for sort of 15 years.
They're not new songs, they're just new to us.
Yeah, we're sort of playing catch up because like, you know,
by the time the EP was released and sort of found,
I was already working on the next thing and then we've ended up touring so much.
So I'm sort of grabbing stuff that was made a little while ago and we're sort of playing
catch up and I'm hoping the next stuff we'll actually have some time to write some new
new stuff.
But yeah, we've got an enormous backlog that we haven't actually put out yet really.
What's your take on playing new songs that aren't released yet live?
Do you like just like, you throw it out there, throw shit on the wall, see if it sticks?
Yeah.
Well, to put it into perspective, this is our seventh tour of the US in two years.
And the first six, we only had half the set that people knew.
So we're very used to just throwing seven, eight songs out.
We need 20 minutes.
We're headlining now.
Whatever.
What song did you have him play 12 years?
Can you solo?
Can you solo?
That's hard to understand.
I got a question.
Are you a control freak?
Yeah, we noticed you mix and master.
We noticed you mix, master everything. Are you a control freak. Yeah, we noticed you mixed and mastered everything.
Are you a control freak?
Yeah.
I'll clap to that.
I like how they admitted it immediately.
I like honesty.
There's a real power and advantage to being a control freak because you always get the
sound you want.
Yeah.
You know what you want.
Will always says that, like, even when we're, if we're sound checking and a sound isn't quite right on stage, he's like, it's, what do you say? It's...
Fucking shit.
You say, like, if it's not right, oh, I don't know, it's not a very philosophical thing, but it's just straight to the point of, like, if it's not right, it's not right. You know what I mean? And he's kind of the only one that really knows what's right.
Yeah. I don't like you when people are just like, it'll be fine. It's fine. Fine is irrelevant.
We've got to be shining.
And specific.
Fine is the way to hell.
Dude, that's the British in them. I like that. I like that in you.
Um,
Yeah, like,
can you give us that old
traditional British meltdown? Have you had one on
stage? Like Liam Gallagher, like,
fuck you, you dumb
pricks.
There was one. Was there? There was one in Brooklyn.
Oh, yeah,
some fucking sound guy in Brooklyn was out there to ruin my life
So he got to me a little bit on stage
I gotta hear the whole thing
He was a dickhead from the first moment like from the first moment of check he was just rude as hell like
He was above us kind of thing
Live and I literally just be like just starting a conversation like that mid sentence
He just walk up turn off and just walk off in the different direction
And it's like five times and he was he was he was bragging about how he'd
Given the support band like five minutes to sound check so he could have more time to sit and have cigarettes.
We hated, because the support band are our friends.
I mean, even regarding that, like,
if you're supporting with that, do your job.
Yeah, he was shit.
And then like on the stage, like the monitors,
like, I don't know what he was doing,
he was just changing it.
And I was like, right, I just need this and this.
And then it was like such extreme changes.
I was like, man, just like, I just stopped this.
I was like, man, stop and start this fucking shit again.
Just give me my vocal, my wedge.
That's all I want.
And then he puts my vocal in my wedge with nothing else and that's fine.
And then all of a sudden the reverb creeps in.
I was just like, so you get less reverb and then he puts reverb up full and I can see.
I can see him up there.
He's fucking with you.
He's fucking
You know, you really fuck me off it but
He's like remember Normandy
That's fucked I would be so pissed dude, I That one, when that shit happens, I just, but I'm like so passive aggressive. I'll just stare at him.
Yeah.
That's why I need to learn the British.
Like go fuck off.
Or you'll walk off.
I'll walk off and be like, yeah.
But you towards your own guy now.
So that's a little different.
Yeah.
Do you have a sound guy now or is it still small crew?
That makes it a lot better.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Especially with the like specific reverb.
Right.
Yeah.
You know, we spent the first two years explaining it. Yeah, hugely. Yeah, especially with the like specific reverb. Right. Yeah. You know, spend the first two
years explaining the reverb thing live to every sound
engineer we met like everybody. Like whatever you do, it's
reverb. A little bit more than that. Yeah, because reverb is
every night. Engineers are scared of it in general, like to
assess that we like it.
So they're like, you ask what you want, they're like, you can't be serious.
And they're like, I'm not doing that.
But you've got to do that.
It's the sound.
It's not us if it's not that.
That's what the record is.
That's exactly.
Yeah.
Even like, even if you're not making that much money right now, it's like that relief
of not having to yell at every fucking sound guy every day.
Just pay the sound, man.
Easy, you know, happy, wife, happy life.
And they're in it with you on tour, so like they're more just...
They get it. And it's a vibe, you know?
They feel like they're part of it more, so they try harder.
All right, give me the...
Yeah.
Give me the shittiest gig of America.
What was the worst one?
What's your least favorite city in America?
What was the worst food?
Just give me everything. What do you gig of America? What was the worst one? What was the least favorite city in America? What was the least?
What was the worst food?
Just give me everything.
What do you hate about America?
Before we talk about what we love about America?
Peoria.
Oh, Peoria.
That comes up a lot.
Kenny's West Side?
Peoria.
Some person in the bar said that it's Peoria.
It rhymes with gonorrhea.
Is that what he said?
Yeah. No, it's Peoria it rhymes with gonorrhea. Is that exactly what you said?
They're fucking with you.
We had a shit gig at a Zanzibar in Louisville, Kentucky.
I'm fine there.
The sound guy was sort of legendarily an asshole.
He was so consistently a dick, it was great.
I actually really enjoyed it.
Kind of every question you asked him his answer was I don't care
I don't care
Yes, right
That's famous. There was like ten people there and I think a guy did a fake proposal on stage. It was not very weird
Yeah, it's strange like a diner. That was like the second gig ever in the States. Yeah, it's strange.
Like a diner in that place. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. There's loads of Pimaw machines and stuff.
Yeah.
It was a cool spot, but yeah, the guy was famously a dick, but it was cool. I enjoyed
it.
I liked him.
I didn't. He could have watched it, but he was a stranger.
I liked his attitude. No bullshit, right? I like people who are no bullshit.
Like, if you're pissed at me, just fucking be pissed at me.
Yeah, let's get this over with.
Like, let's just fucking like,
let's get it through and let's fucking go, right?
Rip the band-aid off.
Rip the fucking band-aid off.
Speaking of that, we're going back to social media.
I'm just kidding.
Andy's really good at social media.
No, that's, yeah, it's insane.
It's like, we toured through Europe and like it
We're on that thing where we were really big in Europe and stuff because we do about
250 shows a year so so it's like we're in Europe a lot and then
You could tell some of these fucking sound guys. I get pissed at the German sound guys
Yeah, they you got to be there ten minutes earlier. They see my Afro, my little Jewish Afro,
they're like, alright, here we go.
These people again!
Here we go.
I thought we wiped them out.
Just kidding.
Those Germans though, you gotta be on time.
They're very fastidious people.
That's why they make good cars.
The sound checks in Europe are so different.
They're like sound checks, at 412 we do sound check at 445, 40, 30 seconds we have
dinner and America's like, yeah, let me have a cigarette.
We'll fucking do it.
You know,
Exactly.
They won't make you eat mayonnaise on your sandwich.
What was, how was Newport Folk Festival?
Did you have fun?
Yeah, that was amazing.
Yeah, that was magical.
Yeah, magical vibes.
I feel that's your vibe, man.
Really amazing.
What's that?
There's something about American festivals though.
What do you feel about them?
They're not as raucous as British festivals or European.
I've been sent quite a lot of memes over the summer of like, like, asking an American, what's the worst thing
that's ever happened? That you've ever seen at a festival and this girl said someone spat
on the floor and then they asked a British person and the British they they snorted ketamine
off a shitty toilet seat. Oh, well, I could show you in festivals where that's happening, actually.
I know a couple of those. Disgusting.
You've got to get in the gym.
I don't know.
I feel like there are more rules here.
Like there are more, you can't smoke in like a lot of areas and you can't, I don't know.
British ones are getting like that.
I think that a lot of the British ones are predominantly camping festivals and we've
done a lot over here which aren't camping.
That totally changed the vibe. I think the size and the kind of like so Bonnaroo
versus Glastonbury Bonnaroo is like much much smaller and it's much nicer and it's all kind
of it's on a great level but like for instance Glastonbury is like going to a different universe.
I'm sure if you guys have been you know know, like, uh, the difference is huge. Uh, but you know,
also the age restriction for drinking completely changes.
We're used to like 15 year olds getting like paralysed.
Yeah. That's a, that's yeah. Just throwing up from beer. Yeah.
That's like hard alcohol in Europe. Yeah. It's like, yeah, we're just like belligerently
alcoholics in America that you have to be 21 to drink
or everyone will have an alcohol problem before 15.
Yeah, they're all doing drugs instead.
But like, I think differently.
If you give kids an option to drink at 15,
you're not gonna take it to the limit
because as your brain's growing up, right?
You guys never got into drugs.
I agree.
You ever get into Coke or anything or any of that stuff?
No, I mean, there's a massive scene in London, but like, all my friends who were massively into Coke are now, but it was recreational.
Right.
Like, it was just, almost using it as a tool to get through their life.
They were using it at the weekends to have a piss up and that's it and then they got on with their week
You know, I don't know. I do feel like there's a difference between like the way
we use drugs
recreationally and kind of I
Seem there seem to be a lot of people that have been in AA over here where I'm like why?
You seem like I don't know we have the same outlook on life There's going to be a lot of people that have been in AA over here where I'm like, why?
You seem like, I don't know, we have the same outlook on life.
I just understand that, like I don't understand how it goes from like just having a recreational
time to being like in quite a desperate situation where you have to force yourself to stop,
otherwise you're going to plummet.
I don't know.
It's weird. Maybe it's guilt. I'm proud to be a bit of a drinker you're gonna plumb it. I don't know, it's weird.
Maybe it's guilt.
I'm proud to be a bitch drinker. I'm proud of it.
Let's go.
I'm a bitch drinker.
You guys should hang out.
Yeah, I think you and I would hang out very well, brother.
You both got cool hair.
Yeah, I can handle my drinking. Sometimes, you know, I'll still dabble in the cocaine
and the nitrous and all that shit, but like you know in America
Yeah, I don't know I feel like a lot of people in Europe go to Europe quicker because it's also free what health care
Oh, yeah, it's true like yeah, so like the doctor
They go yeah, they go to the doctor and fucking figure it out. We're out here like we can't we can't figure it out
It's our liver fails. Yeah, had to sell my car to get finger surgery.
Yeah.
So we do say that. And it's the same with like, when you're out on the street, you know,
like London has a homeless problem, but it's nothing like there is in, well, really any
major city in the US. And that's down to the the fact we have a good social care system with free
health care and mental health with medication provided, you know?
Right, yeah.
So, anyway, that's going quite deep into the social constructs of our different countries,
but there is a very different version of what homelessness looks like on the streets of
London or whatever.
Yeah, it's like that in Denver.
Have you guys played Denver much?
Yeah, we've done that.
Yeah, Boulder and Denver and some spots around there for sure.
Yeah, you're not going to see any homeless in Aspen, but yeah.
No, Aspen's a little bit different than Denver.
Yes, exactly.
It's more of a second.
It's my other $4 million home.
Yeah, if they're homeless, that means their parents got them off the trust fund or something.
Yeah, the homeless people there make like $300k a year.
Yeah.
So you're a studio, you both lived in kind of smaller towns in the UK?
Yeah, I did.
I lived in like basically the Hobbit in Lord of
the Rings. That's basically where I lived. Shire.
That's actually where it was written.
Yeah, like legitimately there. In the properly, you know,
British rural countryside.
I grew up. Yeah, I mean, I grew up in a tiny village outside of
Brighton. But like Brighton was where I
All my formative years were spent and then I lived in London. So will definitely
Has lived in smaller towns than yes
What's it like being the odd girl in the band? Oh
That's the question for you, Jordan And occurs Well, it's blessing and a curse because there's no one whose brain thinks five steps ahead,
which is annoying.
I like you, Georgie.
Who can multitask to the same level, which is really annoying.
But also I get treated like a princess.
I can't complain.
That's very respectful of mine, Elise. which is really annoying, but also I get treated like a princess. So I can't complain.
That's very respectful of me.
What was the biggest blow you guys ever had?
The biggest blow? Oh my God.
We've been pretty lucky to be honest, man.
We've had a very kind of plain sailing existence and our managers are, you know, elite, I think.
So it's, I'm sure, yeah, biggest blow., it's um, I'm sure yeah biggest blow
When you say blow do you mean like?
No, like it's like you ever fight like kind of like oh
Like blow out like you guys like just like fuck off and telling each other like fuck off, you know
Yeah, two weeks every two weeks. Yeah. Two weeks.
Probably every two weeks.
Like, clockwork, and it's definitely always my fault, whatever the situation is.
Well, of course it is.
But I've already been thinking about it.
I've been thinking about it for five days.
It gets pretty scary out here, man.
It's, yeah.
No, I'll tell you what.
It gets pretty scary out here.
That's hilarious.
Yeah. No, I tell you what. It gets pretty scary out here. That's hilarious. Yeah.
Traveling around all the time, it fucks up your period if you're unlucky.
And so that means that a lot of the time, I don't know where I am in my cycle.
So I could be feeling like the bitch from hell.
And I think maybe I'm in like my ovulation week and it's actually Will's fault.
And it turns out it's not.
Will's ovulating. Then I come on my period. it turns out it's not. Will's ovulating.
I'll just start hitting on it like the music.
Well, this has been great to get to know you guys.
I know you got to get out of there.
I know you got...
Where are you?
LA?
Yeah, they're in LA.
They're playing the tubular.
I grew up in LA.
That's my hometown.
They're both...
You and her are both from beach towns.
Fuck yeah.
Let's ride.
Yeah. Your beach town Is nicer than my beach town
What Calabasas are Malibu?
Malibu is a lot nicer than Brighton. You have you have sand and palm trees and sunshine
What can we stereotype British people for a second hey, I'm pretty British
Do you think people are angry? It's kind of like Oregon where there's not a lot of vitamin D.
So like it's like kind of they're more angsty. Like I feel like Irish people like that too.
Like what's the vibe there? Give me the 410. That's the word?
You don't notice it until you go home. How I mean, Jesus Christ people are angry.
Particularly at the moment,
people are so ready to bite your head off about anything. And I think it's the fact,
let's stereotype for a second. So we're like, keep calm and carry on. I think that we've
reached the boiling point of keeping calm and carrying on where we're just like at the top of our heads. Yeah, like we can't keep calm anymore. So we're just really aggressive, really rude.
Yeah, everybody's against everybody. It's massive confidence.
Everyone's a dick. It's like, it's really crazy. Like I don't want to slam it. But when you go
home, you're like, wow, no one is being friendly. Like you walk into a coffee shop here and the service like, hi, how are you today?
And as a Brit, you're like, oh, whoa.
You're making me really uncomfortable.
Yes, disgusting.
And then by the time that you get home, you're like morning to like a barista and they're like, hi.
What the fuck do you want?
Yeah.
Yeah.
What if I did do?
Those are the people that raised me. Now you get it.
I get that. Yeah. I'm very calm I do? Those are the people that raised me. Now you get it.
I get that.
Yeah, my...
I'm very calm too.
Yeah, Gerlach is so calm.
I'm like, God, you're just like...
I was raised by passive aggressive World War II survivors.
Oh, that makes sense.
What's that?
You just described things.
Yeah, yeah.
That's the UK.
Like my grandpa would like...
That's the UK.
My grandpa would like insult me as a kid and like and he's so passive aggressive that I wouldn't realize
it until the next day.
You know what I mean?
They say something and you think it's a compliment and then you're like, wait a second, he called
me stupid.
He was Scottish though.
