Taken a Walk.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
From the streets of Monterey, Mexico to the stages of
the world, The Warning is one of the most electrifying
forces in rock today. Sisters Danielle, Paulina and Alejandra have
been playing together since childhood, and their journey has taken
them from independent releases to sharing stages with news Boo
Fighters and Guns N' Roses, and everywhere in between. Their
(00:24):
twenty twenty four album beat Me Fed on Lava Republic
Records is a bold, uncompromising statement, and the world has
taken notice. From Latin Grammy and MTV nominations to a
landmark performance at the MTV VMA's these three sisters didn't
just break through, they kicked the door down. On buzz Night,
(00:49):
this is the Taken a Walk Podcast. We're going to
talk to The Warning next.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Taken a Walk.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
I am so excited that The Warning is joining us
on the Take in a Walk podcast.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Thank you for.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Being on.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
Having that, sire.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
So tell me about.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
The first moment in your life that you knew you
had a deep connection with music.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
Wow. I think this moment happened for the three of
us at the same time. I think we just lived
in a very musical household. Our parents are on musicians,
but music was always around in our house. I was
always playing either like on a CD, or we would
watch concert films, or we would go to concerts, and
it was just something that's surrounded us all the time.
(01:39):
But I think it's when our parents bought us the
video game Rock Band and we would play that game
or we'll play together where like are like. It sparked
that deep love that we have for music.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
And what was some of the music you were listening
to in particular or concerts that you went to?
Speaker 4 (02:00):
Ooh, okay, So the concert films that we mainly watched
were Muse, a lot of Queen concerts, Eldon.
Speaker 5 (02:08):
John, Billy Joel, The Killers, Pink Floyd, ac DC, and
on rock band, well the first rock band had like
Panic at the Disco Paramore, no doubt.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
So that that was the music that we surrounded ourselves.
Wait at a young age.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Now, was it always going to be a plan that
you would pursue music?
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Did you have a plan? B?
Speaker 4 (02:37):
No, it was never something that we planned like, oh, yes,
we're gonna like be a band, But we liked it
so much and we worked hard at it, like we
wanted to be good at it, but when the opportunity
to actually make a career out of it like presented itself,
we were like, okay, are we are we deciding to
(02:59):
do this? And there was never really like a plan B,
which is kind of constrained time honestly, But we started
out with our hearts like in our hands and just
like very passionately hoping that things will work out for us,
and they have been working all for us in like
(03:20):
in a steady pace. We've been a band for twelve
years and it's just something that has kept growing, kept growing,
and kept growing. But there was really nothing else to
fall back on. I mean, I imagine that if like
it didn't work out, we would have done something else.
Oh guys, Like it's like it was going to be
the end of the world. But we definitely had a
(03:42):
little bit of tunnel vision where it's.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
You'd be surprised that talking to so many musicians on
the podcast, there usually is no plan B. It's that
steadfast desire to purdue something with passion and know that
it's gonna be it's gonna happen. So I'm not surprised
that to hear you to hear you say that since.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Your your live performances are so epic.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Going back to those influences, what was the first concert
you ever went to as a fan.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
The first Pancor we ever went to. I think it
was like the Overexposed. I mean in Mexico are something
that is like very special. The crowds are always crazy,
no matter who is on stage, and just being a
part like seeing that crowd reaction and being a part
of it. When we were younger, it was very cute,
but like the Killers, for me, that like, oh, that
(04:41):
was one of our biggest influences when we started playing,
and it was a band like a rock band that
kind of at least I don't know if it's like
there their main focus, but for me, it was always
a band that would like give so much hope. What
do you mean? So it's just like very positive music.
And I remember as a kid seeing that show and
(05:02):
just feeling very like positively influenced. And now every time
we see them, I feel like there's a little kid again.
I feel and that same hope, and that seemed just
like joy of sharing music. I think it's something that's
very special and it.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Must feel so incredible when you're on stage, connecting with
an audience and just seeing the vibe and the energy
and just really just you know, soaking that all in.
What was the first experience like when you played live
and how does it differ, if at all?
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Today?
Speaker 4 (05:39):
Oh my god, a lot. Very personally. Played live, I
was so nervous. I don't think I even remember. We
were so nervous. Yeah, that we didn't know how to
have fun while playing. I mean we were like we
were kids. We weren't really you know, But as time
(05:59):
was gone by, I really learning to have fun with
the crowd and just feeling that energy. And I feel
like that's what you practice for. I feel like practicing
is for getting stressed and you know, trying to get
everything right. But when you're on stage, it really just
becomes muscle memory of all those times you practice, and
you just learned to have fun. And I mean, wor
sisters and we get along really well, so it's just
(06:20):
like also having fun. And a big difference I feel
like from then up to right now is that we
learn how to actually listen to each other while we
were performing.
Speaker 6 (06:31):
Because at the like the very first times, we were
so nervous that we were only like focused on ourselves,
and now we actually get to like, you know, we learned.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
How to be as unite exactly. I think at the
other beginning, we didn't really focus on the crowd at all. Yeah,
and I think at that point it wasn't even about connection.
It was about anyway. Right, we're girls, and like we're
so young, and we know we're not supposed to be
in these stages and people are giving us an opportunity,
like we have to play correctly. Like that that was
(07:02):
like the only thing of them a brilliant point. Yeah,
we're starting now and again so many like we had
so many people not like against us, but like they
didn't want us there. So it was constantly like we
were there to prove something. But now now that they
don't have something, you are, you know. But I think
that our mentalities have definitely switched in the concerts become
about what experience we can give to other people and
(07:25):
the joy of knowing that you can like give that
to somebody. And also like when you're on the stage,
you feel powerful and you feel like what I don't
know a better word, but like I always say that
I feel huge when I'm on stage. I feel like
I'm a giant version of myself and like getting to
experience that with other people and seeing the giant versions
(07:47):
of my sisters as well. It's just a very unique
experience and we really miss it. We haven't toured like
half a year, and now we're about to start touring again,
and I'm really looking forward to how we live because
usually when you're touring, like you're kind of tired sometimes,
especially when we like we did it for four years
in a row, so now we took a break and
(08:07):
we missed it so much. So I can't imagine what
having fun like is going to feel like now that
we like really miss being on stage.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
I could tell you're going to have fun. I could
just feel it. I really can feel the energy all right. Well,
speaking of energy, congratulations on Parroscene, an amazing song, an
incredible video.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Tell me how much fun. First of all it was
making that video.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
It was I think the most fun we've had making
of it.
Speaker 6 (08:38):
We played with fire, We were in this crazy said
we're an urlar.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
The first shot we did for the video, like there
was a car that had that was actually driving, that
was driving, and we were definitely not on the car
that we were in was on like the back of
this truck. It's I don't know something it was pulling. Yeah,
I was flowing the cart. So we like that. The
first shot was us like just driving around the city
(09:06):
being in this car and people just like people would
drive by and be like what where the hell is happening,
And it was just a very fun way to start.
Speaker 7 (09:14):
But yeah, in this video, like we dance, we scream,
we have flamethrowers, like al had a car doing donuts
around her.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
Like it was just very crazy overall, and it was,
as you said, very fun. It was also like it
was hurting. We had two very long days we finished
recording like three thirty am, so like they were long days.
But seeing the video and seeing how it turned out,
the team who worked on it, the director, like everybody
just really did such an amazing job and we were
(09:46):
very lucky to have this video for her first release.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
No one got hurt, I assume no.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
Everything was all good. That was not a professional. Yes,
and there were security people and say like that's men's
or men the too precocities.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Of course, it's amazing. Congratulations on it. Tell me about
what keep me fed? It's a powerful title, What does
it mean to you? And what were you trying to
say with the record?
Speaker 4 (10:18):
Oh, okay, keep me fed? Was about the the level
of consumption that we live in today, either like with
actual material things or with the art that we consume,
with the like media we consume, with how much we
see every day, how much we give every day, And
(10:39):
it was us coming from a place where we like
offer things to be consumed, like and then we also
consume what other people give as just like fans, people whatever,
And it's about the cycle of participation and like even
if sometimes you want to step out, it's really hard
to do this in like a modern day with like
(11:03):
social media and just like the amount of information that
is sort of fingertips every single day. And it was
just kind of an observation of that and how we
live it as musicians and how we live it as people,
and like the different areas where that could appear in
our everyday lives.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
So how do you prepare for a tour? What goes
into that process?
Speaker 4 (11:27):
Well, I thought you were just making a list of
what you were going to pack. Oh my lot.
Speaker 6 (11:31):
Tacking is like I feel like I got.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
Used to not packing for a while now. I feel
that I'm gonna forget every week day and now you
have to think about it. But prepare for a tour,
it really is but rehearsing a lot, and right now
that we have like this new music coming up, it's
like we have to be able to play the songs properly.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 8 (11:53):
It's exercising, eating properly, drinking a lot of water to
get your electrolytes, like doing all those like this physical
prep especially because like our first tour is going to
be in South America, and in South in America everything is.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
Like fly and fly out, and these lights they suck
the life out of you, like they're saying there because
they're a weird hour. So like it's just kind of
preparing the body for like, hey, you're about to go
through like this really intense experience, like and just kind
of prepping for it to not be like about crosst
(12:25):
on your system.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
Yeah, I'm so glad.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
You talked about the degree of difficulty because back to
people think you know, a video or you know, there's
aspects it's all fun and games, but the serious discipline
is necessary, like you said, to stay healthy, you know,
the long hours, you know, just to be at your best.
I mean, it's I think people sometimes take that for granted.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
Don't you think for.
Speaker 6 (12:54):
Sure you don't need It's not something you even get
to think about, like even the different ingredients, the the
food that you're eating, a different water, different elevation, everything
that your body.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
Is not used to, and just even just like a
time switch. And I think that people do take it
for granted in a sense, like it's really hard to make.
When you explain it, it just sound it sounds like you're
being it's all mighty. It's like, oh no, I have
on another plane. Yeah, It's like it's something that you
have to go through, to go through to like really understand,
because it's like it's weird to explain it. It's something
(13:27):
that you only honestly you notice after you do it
so much and you start noticing these patterns over time
that oh my god, every time I step off a plane,
I feel a certain way or something, and you start
noticing and after so, after like four years of storing,
we figured or try to figure out, how is it
you are healthyest. I feel like you get used to
(13:47):
being so adaptable to any situation that you forget that
you have to do the basic things that your body needs,
like you need eating, you need to like you know,
I have eat it all day. And also I think
there's a certain responsibility because I think the industry that
we're in is so unforgiving to like the artists being
(14:09):
human beings like you having like physical repercussions, to the
like the pace that we have to live and to
tour to share our music. And I think it's our
responsibility not only to ourselves but also to people that
like pay to see us in concerts. Like sometimes you
have to do a lot of prep for things to
not go wrong health wise, but sometimes I'm have our
(14:30):
humans humans, but as things keep happening to us, we try,
we try and learn and learn and adapt and try
to like for the next tour, for things to be
easier on everybody.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
You've opened for some of the biggest names in rock, food, Fighters,
guns n' Roses, mus each of you give me one
moment from those experiences that you'll never forget.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
When we opened for our mus I mean me, it's
just like probably one of our big inspirations for everything
we do with their trio, and we got to open
for them, not only in Mexico, but also in in
Europe in the UK. But when we opened for them
here in Monterrey, in our hometown, it was so weird,
like after we we keep a show, they give our
(15:16):
show and they were like, oh my god, like do
you want to go out for dinner and like get
drinks and we were like really like I was just
so and we like all those days most of the
days and were four shows in Mexico, like after the
shows we do like hang out and talk about our experiences,
and it was just like so they're amazing people and
it was just like very nice to be able to,
(15:37):
you know, talk with them, and they shared their experiences
and like different things that have happened to us because
like I don't know, I remember this very well. I
fell on stage. That's why I was hot DA and
Monterrey and I fell on stage and it was like
the first time I've all in on stage. It was
like pretty bad whatever. I was very embarrassed, and so
we talked about it. He was like, oh my god,
like it mat Bellamy like showed me a video of
(15:58):
him like balling on stage, like he was like it's
happened to me, Like it's okay, like you'll learn from it.
He was like after that, like the material on like
the stage, and like we were just like talking about
everything and it was just a very sweet it's a
real moment for us.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
How about another another, yeah.
Speaker 4 (16:19):
Us, I have mine, but it's yeah for me. When
we opened for the Food Fires, it was not all
like we used to cover their songs and everything, but
also it was like playing one of the most important
stages in our country. Now it's like a kind of
day and it was always your dream to play on
(16:40):
that stage. And when we got there, it was the
first time we ever played there, and it was just
so surreal to see the size till that stadium and
when people started like filling in into like the venue
and you would hear just like people, like the chatter
of the people, but having sixty thousand people chattering and
(17:01):
like you're like on site stage just waiting to step
and like give in your show and everything. It's just
it was just such a like electrifying feeling and excitement
and nervousness and just like so much gratefulness for the
opportunity that was presented to us and like this hunger
for wanting like to do the best job you possibly.
Speaker 6 (17:22):
Could And as Plau said, that was like the first
time that we played that stadium in Mexico City and
La it was the first time also that we played
in Europe and now one of the experiences that mark
Mila was our first time in Japan as well, because
that was such a big and different experience for us.
(17:43):
The way they live concerts is also so crazy, and
we were so happy to share the stage and open
for BANDMDE so it was a full like only women
on stage so as well, that was so new for us,
and it was insane, and we played a song together
and I remember they went all out because there were
(18:04):
two drum kids. We were like four guitar player ubait players.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
It was so great.
Speaker 6 (18:12):
So we we got to live a different side to
the rock community and the women in rock community all
the way on the other side of the world. It
was just so surreal for that's happening. For us to
be able to represent our country in those stages as
well as Mexican women who love rock and roll was
(18:34):
just so special. So I just hope we get to
keep having these experiences and these firsts with amazing people.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
We'll be right back with more of the Taken a
Walk Podcast. Welcome back to the Taken a Walk Podcast.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
The Metallica Blacklist was pretty remarkable moment your cover of
inter Sandman, it's amazing alongside the Ghost and Saint Vincent and.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
Chris Stapleton too, right, we do you have?
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (19:15):
How did that come together and what did it feel
like to be part of that?
Speaker 4 (19:19):
Oh for sure?
Speaker 6 (19:20):
Well, Metallica was looking for artists who were touched by
their music and this album specifically, and we got the
offer along with Alesia Ga, to create a version of
a song and it all started with Andrew Salmon for
us on YouTube. That was our first viral cover, so
(19:41):
we had a very strong connection to that song, so
of course when we got the opportunity, it was obviously
a no brainer, and we were excited to hear that
they wanted a version of the song not necessarily like
a stronger so we had to pull put our live
lengthole into it and also respecting a lessier style, our
(20:04):
style and honoring you know, Metallica, And it was of
course a full circle moment for us to having start
with that, having had started with that oh my god,
English grammar okay, and just being invited to the thirtieth
anniversary and being part of that project with that song
was very meaningful to us.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
So you mentioned at the outset about you know, being
three sisters and the fact that you get along but
not everybody gets along all the time. How do you
work out if there's conflict by talking?
Speaker 4 (20:42):
I think communicating there's unconditional understanding. I think that's the
basis of our relationship. We know each other so well,
and we know each other to the point where we
know why we do things the way that we do.
We know why we react in certain ways. We know
when we have our outbursts, why we have our like
(21:04):
like our sad days or whatever. And we're very respectful
of that. Like we we know that we don't need
each other harm ever, because we respect each other so
much and we have just very good communication. And when
something is happening to the like to somebody, we can
all say, like, hey, are you okay? Do you need space?
(21:26):
You want me to like do something for you, you
want me to like take a step back, like whatever
you need, I'm here. And it's just a shared responsibility
of each like each other's feelings, but like our own
feelings and knowing how they affect each other, but also
as like, apart from being sisters and being really close,
we're business women and we're artists and we work together partners,
(21:48):
and having that deep understanding that the three of us
are totally linked to each other in so many different
areas of our lives. Such a big emphasis on like
teamwork and knowing that it like it's us against the world,
like always like we always have each other's backs no
(22:10):
matter what, and we always want what's best for each other.
We all at least trying to acknowledge that that's the
place where we always come from, even if we agree
with each other or not. And a big part of that,
I think that has brought us closer together and to
be open to wanting to understand what each and everyone
goes through is because even though we have a very
big team that and they love us very much and
(22:31):
they go everywhere with us, none of them get to
experience exactly what we do being on that stage. Like
we have a full understanding of what it is to
do what we do at the same level that we
all do it, you know, So having someone that understands
that is key for us. I think we I don't
(22:53):
know what would happen to me if I got to
do this alone. Having you guys like doing this together
is like the reason probably still do it exact For sure.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
You've been embraced by both the rock world and mainstream culture,
you know, vanity fair, cosmopolitan, PEPSI. Do you think about
that duality or does it just feel like the natural
reach of your music.
Speaker 4 (23:23):
I think that from a network perspective, it can look
pretty crazy, But for us it has always been hand
in hand.
Speaker 9 (23:29):
I mean, we are young women who like grew up
in an era where you can like everything at the
same time. Like I think that before you have to
like something, and that was that you could not necessarily
participate in the culture. Of all the other things that
were at your reach, you kind of picked one and
(23:51):
one with.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
But I think that with the way that we grew
up and with the internet, like, we were always just
like really open to like, hey, we're rock musicians, but
we know about all of these things, and we want
to participate in all of these things. Like with our music,
we like we stick to what we know and what
we want to do, but like with everything else, it's
(24:14):
so fun to see how we can branch out to
other people, to other things, and even just listening to music.
Even though we love rock music and that's what we do,
we listen to everything. Like nowadays, people have different tastes
depending on their mood and everything is possible. So for us,
it just feels very natural, like it's always just something
(24:35):
that was like a part of it.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
A question for each of you individually, tell me something
that would surprise your fans that's on your playlist?
Speaker 3 (24:47):
Oh, in terms of artist or song.
Speaker 4 (24:50):
Oh, there's so many things. There's something I remem right now.
I would say, like bad Bunny, because like we went
and so we went, not the opportunity to go to
a superbol and oh my god, no you like that?
But I'm like, I love that Bunny, you know, like
did a new album in great and people. I mean,
I feel like with musicians, it's so nice to listen
to so many things. You can get inspired from course
(25:12):
all types and all sorts of music from different times,
and I think that's what makes you know, creating music
really special. You take inspiration from all these all these
different things and genres and you know, make it your own.
So I think, you know, listening to music just opens
up your horizon. It's crazy that we mentioned in this
particular interview that our first concert was Moving five because
(25:34):
I've been listening to all of their albums NonStop. Oh
my god, no, but literally every album up until it overexposed.
I've been just like, for me, I think k pop
k pop is something that like we've been fans for
years and years, I think since like twenty seventeen, but
like more specifically because there's like so many different types
(25:56):
of kop. It's such a big like umbrella term. But
for me, like it's the thing I love the most,
like on my free time when I want to feel
just like bubbly unhappy, it accompanies me. And so yeah,
like I like driving and that's what I listened to.
You know. I wrote Raging to like bubblegum k pop,
Yeah the best.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
I love it. I absolutely love it.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
The Latin Grammy nomination for Best Rock Song. What did
that recognition mean to you specifically, is Mexican artist making
rock music?
Speaker 4 (26:28):
Oh my god, it was a big honor. Yeah, yeah,
we were honored to have that accomplishment. But I think
the thing that made it really really special for us
was that our mom wrote that song with us, like
she helped us write the song, she helped us with
the lyric. So not only did we get a Latin
Grammy nomination, but our mom theation. We wanted to win
(26:51):
so bad. Not for winning, but I wanted my mom
did by the line, Grammy, that's the only thing I
wanted out. It didn't happen hopefully next time time, but
for me it was just a very big moment. Of
course it was about us, but for me, it was
really about my mom. Yeah, because I we were having
a conversation with her. I was like, when did you
(27:11):
imagine my mom's a dentist, right, so like when did
you imagine when you were younger that you would be
here with a La Grammy nomination? That it's all like
like my mom really worked on the song, but yeah,
she wrote all the lyrics with us. So it's like,
when did you imagine that you would be a recognized songwriter,
you'd be nominated for awards? Like was that something that
(27:32):
you had ever imagined or thought of, like in your
future plans for your life? She was like no, this
is like so surreal and so so strange, but it
was very beautiful to share a lot and to think
that because of what we do, we like were able
to give our mom something that like she never bring
her wildest dreams imagined that whatever happened that that was
(27:54):
very very special. We'll have to win next time. Yeah,
because I want her. I don't care about we have
I want my mom.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
That is fantastic.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
If if someone is listening who is a female artist
or a female band that's trying to make their mark
in the business, what advice would you give them?
Speaker 4 (28:19):
Oh, okay, it's a lot about resilience. Yeah, it's about
knowing who you are and knowing what you're up against
and knowing that you have the strength within yourself to
go through all that, and also to know that you're
not alone in that process, especially like we've been very
lucky to have each other. I don't like I have
(28:40):
all the representation I need because they're they're there in
front of the stage with me all the time. But
I think it could be pretty isolating and pretty jarring
just step into the scene where you don't see yourself
in any of the stages, in any of the music
that you hear. But I think that in this era
that we live in right now, things have changed so
much and I think that women are completely dominating the scene.
(29:03):
Like you see the charts and you see the concerts
and you see who is buying these tickets and who
they're going to see, and it's such a wonderful thing
because rock has always been this genre of breaking rules
and like breaking the norm and exploring new things. So
I think it's it's a natural, it's a given that
this is a space for us. So as long as
(29:24):
you know you are going to have things that like
men don't have to deal with like that, there are
things that are and it's not fair, but once you
once you get through that and you kind of just
like power through it. The the amount of satisfaction of
knowing that even though this place wasn't built for us,
(29:44):
but we're here and we're playing and we're sharing our music,
that satisfaction and that like sense of sisterhood is very
is very beautiful.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
What social causes are important to you, Any particular charities
or causes that you want to.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
Highlight, Well, I think mental health and generalism that's very
important to us, especially because we have heard so many
stories from so many bands who share things about their
lives and tough moments that they had are people close
to them, and I think music is the like the
(30:24):
most like open space to have these conversations and to
find yourself for persented and to feel that you're not alone,
like going to concerts and seeing like hundreds of other
people who are maybe feeling the exact same thing as
you are. I think that we have always been very
big advocates like taking care of yourself mentally and like
(30:45):
leaning on other people and finding that connection and community,
and for us to be able to give a space
for community within like our music is very important, especially
because mental health, like I think it effects like well
literally everyone, especially in the times that we live and now,
there are so many factors that we see every single
(31:06):
day that can really affect us deeply. And I know
that we have our fair share of things to deal with,
and I think that we're always just very big advocates
for communication and for healthy outlets, and hopefully people lean
towards music for that outlet. It is such a great
(31:28):
place to let all those emotions go and at least
we always ended up feeling wealthier about It's very therapeutic,
So I think that's something that we're really passionate about.
And also us opening space for women. That's always very
important to us, us as Mexican women, traveling all over
the world, representing our country, representing that music truly is
(31:49):
for everyone. These are causes that are extremely important to
us because they it is us like, they inherently affect
us as human beings. So hopefully with what we do,
we can change people's minds little by little, just by
sharing our music and being on stage.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
So when does the tour start, where will it take you?
And how long will the tour be?
Speaker 4 (32:13):
Of course, Well, the tour starts next week.
Speaker 6 (32:16):
Yeah, We're going to South America for Lo La, Argentina
and Brazil.
Speaker 4 (32:23):
We're also visiting Colombia and Bahaway and then we head
to the UK with Young Blood that's gonna be amazing,
and then coming back to the US with Young Blood
as well, and then we do a lot of festivals
and in the summer in Europe science Japan. That's just
very exciting. It's gonna be a bit set year. We
(32:45):
have music coming so that that is just I think
the highlight of everything. And we miss touring so much,
so we're very excited to be back on the road
and to share all these new little surprises with everybody.
Speaker 3 (32:57):
That's fantastic. Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
So in closing for each of you, since we call
this little podcast taking a Walk, I want to ask
you if you could take a walk with somebody living
or dead, it doesn't have to be one person. Who
would that person be and where would you take a
walk with them?
Speaker 4 (33:18):
Okay, I have my answer. Okay, I have mine too.
I think I would like to take a walk with
Miley Cyrus. Okay, I would like to like walk like
around Central Park. It's just like a big park where
we can walk a lot. The reason why Miley Cyrus
started out when she was a kid. Okay, yeah, yeah yeah.
So obviously I didn't live this to the extent that
(33:41):
Miley's I posted my I was starting out when I
was a kid, and I think that we could like
really like I could learn a lot, you're allowed or
like how she lived through all of that. But also
she's such an incredible songwriter performer. Her rock album is
so good. I would use that walk to try to
convince her they do enough rock album because the voice
(34:02):
is just so perfect for that, and she's an ichone,
like she really impacted a whole jed Like, yeah, the
first things I covered when I when I started playing
the drums were was like the Hannah Montana's on soundtrack,
so technically like she's somebuddy that like really impacted the
way that I viewed music when I started out. So
I would love to have chat with her nice. I
(34:23):
had like two very different answers. One of them is
just I would say, Lady Ghana, it's like, my god,
I I want to know what goes on in her mind,
like taking a walk, I would say, in a peaceful part,
I want to big, like big, like I also thought
a central part, but it's aw for me. I like
peaceful things. I mean, everything she does is absolutely insane.
(34:47):
She has gone through like so many eras in in pop,
and I feel like pop is an industry that moves
so differently from ours, and it's just like I would
learn a lot from it and the other ends or
I had was like with our younger selves, because like
I honestly don't remember how I saw the world back then,
and like then, like like hearing from like both perspectives,
(35:11):
I think would be very interesting. I mean it's something
that can't happen, but but it would be very I
kind of want you both to include me in your walks.
I would want to be I wouldn't include you in
my walk with this person because I would be so
nervous to ask anything that I would need your support there.
I would take a walk with Julianrace.
Speaker 3 (35:32):
Yeah, oh my.
Speaker 6 (35:33):
God, if my dream.
Speaker 4 (35:37):
It's my dream to meet her and just like breathe
the same air as her.
Speaker 6 (35:42):
I would This is super exaggerated, but I would definitely
take a walk in a freaking mountain in Austria just
because of that music.
Speaker 4 (35:50):
Yeah, just and by a river. I would die. Oh
but yeah, just just to have a conversation and I
don't I wouldn't even ask for anything. I feel like,
just talk to me about lemonade or whatever which is.
I would just enjoy that moment to the fullest. For sure.
Speaker 1 (36:09):
Well.
Speaker 2 (36:09):
I love Central Park and I love the Warning, So
sometimes I want to take a walk with the Warning
in Central Park. You didn't ask me, but I'm telling
you that, so that would be fantastic.
Speaker 3 (36:20):
But this has been amazing. I am so.
Speaker 2 (36:23):
Excited that I had the opportunity to speak with you.
Congratulations on everything. Thank you for giving us the joy
of your music. And go get them on the tour
and you're welcome back anytime.

Taken a Walk.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
From the streets of Monterey, Mexico to the stages of
the world, The Warning is one of the most electrifying
forces in rock today. Sisters Danielle, Paulina and Alejandra have
been playing together since childhood, and their journey has taken
them from independent releases to sharing stages with news Boo
Fighters and Guns N' Roses, and everywhere in between. Their
(00:24):
twenty twenty four album beat Me Fed on Lava Republic
Records is a bold, uncompromising statement, and the world has
taken notice. From Latin Grammy and MTV nominations to a
landmark performance at the MTV VMA's these three sisters didn't
just break through, they kicked the door down. On buzz Night,
(00:49):
this is the Taken a Walk Podcast. We're going to
talk to The Warning next.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Taken a Walk.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
I am so excited that The Warning is joining us
on the Take in a Walk podcast.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Thank you for.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Being on.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
Having that, sire.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
So tell me about.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
The first moment in your life that you knew you
had a deep connection with music.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
Wow. I think this moment happened for the three of
us at the same time. I think we just lived
in a very musical household. Our parents are on musicians,
but music was always around in our house. I was
always playing either like on a CD, or we would
watch concert films, or we would go to concerts, and
it was just something that's surrounded us all the time.
(01:39):
But I think it's when our parents bought us the
video game Rock Band and we would play that game
or we'll play together where like are like. It sparked
that deep love that we have for music.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
And what was some of the music you were listening
to in particular or concerts that you went to?
Speaker 4 (02:00):
Ooh, okay, So the concert films that we mainly watched
were Muse, a lot of Queen concerts, Eldon.
Speaker 5 (02:08):
John, Billy Joel, The Killers, Pink Floyd, ac DC, and
on rock band, well the first rock band had like
Panic at the Disco Paramore, no doubt.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
So that that was the music that we surrounded ourselves.
Wait at a young age.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Now, was it always going to be a plan that
you would pursue music?
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Did you have a plan? B?
Speaker 4 (02:37):
No, it was never something that we planned like, oh, yes,
we're gonna like be a band, But we liked it
so much and we worked hard at it, like we
wanted to be good at it, but when the opportunity
to actually make a career out of it like presented itself,
we were like, okay, are we are we deciding to
(02:59):
do this? And there was never really like a plan B,
which is kind of constrained time honestly, But we started
out with our hearts like in our hands and just
like very passionately hoping that things will work out for us,
and they have been working all for us in like
(03:20):
in a steady pace. We've been a band for twelve
years and it's just something that has kept growing, kept growing,
and kept growing. But there was really nothing else to
fall back on. I mean, I imagine that if like
it didn't work out, we would have done something else.
Oh guys, Like it's like it was going to be
the end of the world. But we definitely had a
(03:42):
little bit of tunnel vision where it's.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
You'd be surprised that talking to so many musicians on
the podcast, there usually is no plan B. It's that
steadfast desire to purdue something with passion and know that
it's gonna be it's gonna happen. So I'm not surprised
that to hear you to hear you say that since.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Your your live performances are so epic.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Going back to those influences, what was the first concert
you ever went to as a fan.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
The first Pancor we ever went to. I think it
was like the Overexposed. I mean in Mexico are something
that is like very special. The crowds are always crazy,
no matter who is on stage, and just being a
part like seeing that crowd reaction and being a part
of it. When we were younger, it was very cute,
but like the Killers, for me, that like, oh, that
(04:41):
was one of our biggest influences when we started playing,
and it was a band like a rock band that
kind of at least I don't know if it's like
there their main focus, but for me, it was always
a band that would like give so much hope. What
do you mean? So it's just like very positive music.
And I remember as a kid seeing that show and
(05:02):
just feeling very like positively influenced. And now every time
we see them, I feel like there's a little kid again.
I feel and that same hope, and that seemed just
like joy of sharing music. I think it's something that's
very special and it.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Must feel so incredible when you're on stage, connecting with
an audience and just seeing the vibe and the energy
and just really just you know, soaking that all in.
What was the first experience like when you played live
and how does it differ, if at all?
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Today?
Speaker 4 (05:39):
Oh my god, a lot. Very personally. Played live, I
was so nervous. I don't think I even remember. We
were so nervous. Yeah, that we didn't know how to
have fun while playing. I mean we were like we
were kids. We weren't really you know, But as time
(05:59):
was gone by, I really learning to have fun with
the crowd and just feeling that energy. And I feel
like that's what you practice for. I feel like practicing
is for getting stressed and you know, trying to get
everything right. But when you're on stage, it really just
becomes muscle memory of all those times you practice, and
you just learned to have fun. And I mean, wor
sisters and we get along really well, so it's just
(06:20):
like also having fun. And a big difference I feel
like from then up to right now is that we
learn how to actually listen to each other while we
were performing.
Speaker 6 (06:31):
Because at the like the very first times, we were
so nervous that we were only like focused on ourselves,
and now we actually get to like, you know, we learned.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
How to be as unite exactly. I think at the
other beginning, we didn't really focus on the crowd at all. Yeah,
and I think at that point it wasn't even about connection.
It was about anyway. Right, we're girls, and like we're
so young, and we know we're not supposed to be
in these stages and people are giving us an opportunity,
like we have to play correctly. Like that that was
(07:02):
like the only thing of them a brilliant point. Yeah,
we're starting now and again so many like we had
so many people not like against us, but like they
didn't want us there. So it was constantly like we
were there to prove something. But now now that they
don't have something, you are, you know. But I think
that our mentalities have definitely switched in the concerts become
about what experience we can give to other people and
(07:25):
the joy of knowing that you can like give that
to somebody. And also like when you're on the stage,
you feel powerful and you feel like what I don't
know a better word, but like I always say that
I feel huge when I'm on stage. I feel like
I'm a giant version of myself and like getting to
experience that with other people and seeing the giant versions
(07:47):
of my sisters as well. It's just a very unique
experience and we really miss it. We haven't toured like
half a year, and now we're about to start touring again,
and I'm really looking forward to how we live because
usually when you're touring, like you're kind of tired sometimes,
especially when we like we did it for four years
in a row, so now we took a break and
(08:07):
we missed it so much. So I can't imagine what
having fun like is going to feel like now that
we like really miss being on stage.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
I could tell you're going to have fun. I could
just feel it. I really can feel the energy all right. Well,
speaking of energy, congratulations on Parroscene, an amazing song, an
incredible video.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Tell me how much fun. First of all it was
making that video.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
It was I think the most fun we've had making
of it.
Speaker 6 (08:38):
We played with fire, We were in this crazy said
we're an urlar.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
The first shot we did for the video, like there
was a car that had that was actually driving, that
was driving, and we were definitely not on the car
that we were in was on like the back of
this truck. It's I don't know something it was pulling. Yeah,
I was flowing the cart. So we like that. The
first shot was us like just driving around the city
(09:06):
being in this car and people just like people would
drive by and be like what where the hell is happening,
And it was just a very fun way to start.
Speaker 7 (09:14):
But yeah, in this video, like we dance, we scream,
we have flamethrowers, like al had a car doing donuts
around her.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
Like it was just very crazy overall, and it was,
as you said, very fun. It was also like it
was hurting. We had two very long days we finished
recording like three thirty am, so like they were long days.
But seeing the video and seeing how it turned out,
the team who worked on it, the director, like everybody
just really did such an amazing job and we were
(09:46):
very lucky to have this video for her first release.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
No one got hurt, I assume no.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
Everything was all good. That was not a professional. Yes,
and there were security people and say like that's men's
or men the too precocities.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Of course, it's amazing. Congratulations on it. Tell me about
what keep me fed? It's a powerful title, What does
it mean to you? And what were you trying to
say with the record?
Speaker 4 (10:18):
Oh, okay, keep me fed? Was about the the level
of consumption that we live in today, either like with
actual material things or with the art that we consume,
with the like media we consume, with how much we
see every day, how much we give every day, And
(10:39):
it was us coming from a place where we like
offer things to be consumed, like and then we also
consume what other people give as just like fans, people whatever,
And it's about the cycle of participation and like even
if sometimes you want to step out, it's really hard
to do this in like a modern day with like
(11:03):
social media and just like the amount of information that
is sort of fingertips every single day. And it was
just kind of an observation of that and how we
live it as musicians and how we live it as people,
and like the different areas where that could appear in
our everyday lives.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
So how do you prepare for a tour? What goes
into that process?
Speaker 4 (11:27):
Well, I thought you were just making a list of
what you were going to pack. Oh my lot.
Speaker 6 (11:31):
Tacking is like I feel like I got.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
Used to not packing for a while now. I feel
that I'm gonna forget every week day and now you
have to think about it. But prepare for a tour,
it really is but rehearsing a lot, and right now
that we have like this new music coming up, it's
like we have to be able to play the songs properly.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 8 (11:53):
It's exercising, eating properly, drinking a lot of water to
get your electrolytes, like doing all those like this physical
prep especially because like our first tour is going to
be in South America, and in South in America everything is.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
Like fly and fly out, and these lights they suck
the life out of you, like they're saying there because
they're a weird hour. So like it's just kind of
preparing the body for like, hey, you're about to go
through like this really intense experience, like and just kind
of prepping for it to not be like about crosst
(12:25):
on your system.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
Yeah, I'm so glad.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
You talked about the degree of difficulty because back to
people think you know, a video or you know, there's
aspects it's all fun and games, but the serious discipline
is necessary, like you said, to stay healthy, you know,
the long hours, you know, just to be at your best.
I mean, it's I think people sometimes take that for granted.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
Don't you think for.
Speaker 6 (12:54):
Sure you don't need It's not something you even get
to think about, like even the different ingredients, the the
food that you're eating, a different water, different elevation, everything
that your body.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
Is not used to, and just even just like a
time switch. And I think that people do take it
for granted in a sense, like it's really hard to make.
When you explain it, it just sound it sounds like you're
being it's all mighty. It's like, oh no, I have
on another plane. Yeah, It's like it's something that you
have to go through, to go through to like really understand,
because it's like it's weird to explain it. It's something
(13:27):
that you only honestly you notice after you do it
so much and you start noticing these patterns over time
that oh my god, every time I step off a plane,
I feel a certain way or something, and you start
noticing and after so, after like four years of storing,
we figured or try to figure out, how is it
you are healthyest. I feel like you get used to
(13:47):
being so adaptable to any situation that you forget that
you have to do the basic things that your body needs,
like you need eating, you need to like you know,
I have eat it all day. And also I think
there's a certain responsibility because I think the industry that
we're in is so unforgiving to like the artists being
(14:09):
human beings like you having like physical repercussions, to the
like the pace that we have to live and to
tour to share our music. And I think it's our
responsibility not only to ourselves but also to people that
like pay to see us in concerts. Like sometimes you
have to do a lot of prep for things to
not go wrong health wise, but sometimes I'm have our
(14:30):
humans humans, but as things keep happening to us, we try,
we try and learn and learn and adapt and try
to like for the next tour, for things to be
easier on everybody.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
You've opened for some of the biggest names in rock, food, Fighters,
guns n' Roses, mus each of you give me one
moment from those experiences that you'll never forget.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
When we opened for our mus I mean me, it's
just like probably one of our big inspirations for everything
we do with their trio, and we got to open
for them, not only in Mexico, but also in in
Europe in the UK. But when we opened for them
here in Monterrey, in our hometown, it was so weird,
like after we we keep a show, they give our
(15:16):
show and they were like, oh my god, like do
you want to go out for dinner and like get
drinks and we were like really like I was just
so and we like all those days most of the
days and were four shows in Mexico, like after the
shows we do like hang out and talk about our experiences,
and it was just like so they're amazing people and
it was just like very nice to be able to,
(15:37):
you know, talk with them, and they shared their experiences
and like different things that have happened to us because
like I don't know, I remember this very well. I
fell on stage. That's why I was hot DA and
Monterrey and I fell on stage and it was like
the first time I've all in on stage. It was
like pretty bad whatever. I was very embarrassed, and so
we talked about it. He was like, oh my god,
like it mat Bellamy like showed me a video of
(15:58):
him like balling on stage, like he was like it's
happened to me, Like it's okay, like you'll learn from it.
He was like after that, like the material on like
the stage, and like we were just like talking about
everything and it was just a very sweet it's a
real moment for us.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
How about another another, yeah.
Speaker 4 (16:19):
Us, I have mine, but it's yeah for me. When
we opened for the Food Fires, it was not all
like we used to cover their songs and everything, but
also it was like playing one of the most important
stages in our country. Now it's like a kind of
day and it was always your dream to play on
(16:40):
that stage. And when we got there, it was the
first time we ever played there, and it was just
so surreal to see the size till that stadium and
when people started like filling in into like the venue
and you would hear just like people, like the chatter
of the people, but having sixty thousand people chattering and
(17:01):
like you're like on site stage just waiting to step
and like give in your show and everything. It's just
it was just such a like electrifying feeling and excitement
and nervousness and just like so much gratefulness for the
opportunity that was presented to us and like this hunger
for wanting like to do the best job you possibly.
Speaker 6 (17:22):
Could And as Plau said, that was like the first
time that we played that stadium in Mexico City and
La it was the first time also that we played
in Europe and now one of the experiences that mark
Mila was our first time in Japan as well, because
that was such a big and different experience for us.
(17:43):
The way they live concerts is also so crazy, and
we were so happy to share the stage and open
for BANDMDE so it was a full like only women
on stage so as well, that was so new for us,
and it was insane, and we played a song together
and I remember they went all out because there were
(18:04):
two drum kids. We were like four guitar player ubait players.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
It was so great.
Speaker 6 (18:12):
So we we got to live a different side to
the rock community and the women in rock community all
the way on the other side of the world. It
was just so surreal for that's happening. For us to
be able to represent our country in those stages as
well as Mexican women who love rock and roll was
(18:34):
just so special. So I just hope we get to
keep having these experiences and these firsts with amazing people.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
We'll be right back with more of the Taken a
Walk Podcast. Welcome back to the Taken a Walk Podcast.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
The Metallica Blacklist was pretty remarkable moment your cover of
inter Sandman, it's amazing alongside the Ghost and Saint Vincent and.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
Chris Stapleton too, right, we do you have?
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (19:15):
How did that come together and what did it feel
like to be part of that?
Speaker 4 (19:19):
Oh for sure?
Speaker 6 (19:20):
Well, Metallica was looking for artists who were touched by
their music and this album specifically, and we got the
offer along with Alesia Ga, to create a version of
a song and it all started with Andrew Salmon for
us on YouTube. That was our first viral cover, so
(19:41):
we had a very strong connection to that song, so
of course when we got the opportunity, it was obviously
a no brainer, and we were excited to hear that
they wanted a version of the song not necessarily like
a stronger so we had to pull put our live
lengthole into it and also respecting a lessier style, our
(20:04):
style and honoring you know, Metallica, And it was of
course a full circle moment for us to having start
with that, having had started with that oh my god,
English grammar okay, and just being invited to the thirtieth
anniversary and being part of that project with that song
was very meaningful to us.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
So you mentioned at the outset about you know, being
three sisters and the fact that you get along but
not everybody gets along all the time. How do you
work out if there's conflict by talking?
Speaker 4 (20:42):
I think communicating there's unconditional understanding. I think that's the
basis of our relationship. We know each other so well,
and we know each other to the point where we
know why we do things the way that we do.
We know why we react in certain ways. We know
when we have our outbursts, why we have our like
(21:04):
like our sad days or whatever. And we're very respectful
of that. Like we we know that we don't need
each other harm ever, because we respect each other so
much and we have just very good communication. And when
something is happening to the like to somebody, we can
all say, like, hey, are you okay? Do you need space?
(21:26):
You want me to like do something for you, you
want me to like take a step back, like whatever
you need, I'm here. And it's just a shared responsibility
of each like each other's feelings, but like our own
feelings and knowing how they affect each other, but also
as like, apart from being sisters and being really close,
we're business women and we're artists and we work together partners,
(21:48):
and having that deep understanding that the three of us
are totally linked to each other in so many different
areas of our lives. Such a big emphasis on like
teamwork and knowing that it like it's us against the world,
like always like we always have each other's backs no
(22:10):
matter what, and we always want what's best for each other.
We all at least trying to acknowledge that that's the
place where we always come from, even if we agree
with each other or not. And a big part of that,
I think that has brought us closer together and to
be open to wanting to understand what each and everyone
goes through is because even though we have a very
big team that and they love us very much and
(22:31):
they go everywhere with us, none of them get to
experience exactly what we do being on that stage. Like
we have a full understanding of what it is to
do what we do at the same level that we
all do it, you know, So having someone that understands
that is key for us. I think we I don't
(22:53):
know what would happen to me if I got to
do this alone. Having you guys like doing this together
is like the reason probably still do it exact For sure.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
You've been embraced by both the rock world and mainstream culture,
you know, vanity fair, cosmopolitan, PEPSI. Do you think about
that duality or does it just feel like the natural
reach of your music.
Speaker 4 (23:23):
I think that from a network perspective, it can look
pretty crazy, But for us it has always been hand
in hand.
Speaker 9 (23:29):
I mean, we are young women who like grew up
in an era where you can like everything at the
same time. Like I think that before you have to
like something, and that was that you could not necessarily
participate in the culture. Of all the other things that
were at your reach, you kind of picked one and
(23:51):
one with.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
But I think that with the way that we grew
up and with the internet, like, we were always just
like really open to like, hey, we're rock musicians, but
we know about all of these things, and we want
to participate in all of these things. Like with our music,
we like we stick to what we know and what
we want to do, but like with everything else, it's
(24:14):
so fun to see how we can branch out to
other people, to other things, and even just listening to music.
Even though we love rock music and that's what we do,
we listen to everything. Like nowadays, people have different tastes
depending on their mood and everything is possible. So for us,
it just feels very natural, like it's always just something
(24:35):
that was like a part of it.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
A question for each of you individually, tell me something
that would surprise your fans that's on your playlist?
Speaker 3 (24:47):
Oh, in terms of artist or song.
Speaker 4 (24:50):
Oh, there's so many things. There's something I remem right now.
I would say, like bad Bunny, because like we went
and so we went, not the opportunity to go to
a superbol and oh my god, no you like that?
But I'm like, I love that Bunny, you know, like
did a new album in great and people. I mean,
I feel like with musicians, it's so nice to listen
to so many things. You can get inspired from course
(25:12):
all types and all sorts of music from different times,
and I think that's what makes you know, creating music
really special. You take inspiration from all these all these
different things and genres and you know, make it your own.
So I think, you know, listening to music just opens
up your horizon. It's crazy that we mentioned in this
particular interview that our first concert was Moving five because
(25:34):
I've been listening to all of their albums NonStop. Oh
my god, no, but literally every album up until it overexposed.
I've been just like, for me, I think k pop
k pop is something that like we've been fans for
years and years, I think since like twenty seventeen, but
like more specifically because there's like so many different types
(25:56):
of kop. It's such a big like umbrella term. But
for me, like it's the thing I love the most,
like on my free time when I want to feel
just like bubbly unhappy, it accompanies me. And so yeah,
like I like driving and that's what I listened to.
You know. I wrote Raging to like bubblegum k pop,
Yeah the best.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
I love it. I absolutely love it.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
The Latin Grammy nomination for Best Rock Song. What did
that recognition mean to you specifically, is Mexican artist making
rock music?
Speaker 4 (26:28):
Oh my god, it was a big honor. Yeah, yeah,
we were honored to have that accomplishment. But I think
the thing that made it really really special for us
was that our mom wrote that song with us, like
she helped us write the song, she helped us with
the lyric. So not only did we get a Latin
Grammy nomination, but our mom theation. We wanted to win
(26:51):
so bad. Not for winning, but I wanted my mom
did by the line, Grammy, that's the only thing I
wanted out. It didn't happen hopefully next time time, but
for me it was just a very big moment. Of
course it was about us, but for me, it was
really about my mom. Yeah, because I we were having
a conversation with her. I was like, when did you
(27:11):
imagine my mom's a dentist, right, so like when did
you imagine when you were younger that you would be
here with a La Grammy nomination? That it's all like
like my mom really worked on the song, but yeah,
she wrote all the lyrics with us. So it's like,
when did you imagine that you would be a recognized songwriter,
you'd be nominated for awards? Like was that something that
(27:32):
you had ever imagined or thought of, like in your
future plans for your life? She was like no, this
is like so surreal and so so strange, but it
was very beautiful to share a lot and to think
that because of what we do, we like were able
to give our mom something that like she never bring
her wildest dreams imagined that whatever happened that that was
(27:54):
very very special. We'll have to win next time. Yeah,
because I want her. I don't care about we have
I want my mom.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
That is fantastic.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
If if someone is listening who is a female artist
or a female band that's trying to make their mark
in the business, what advice would you give them?
Speaker 4 (28:19):
Oh, okay, it's a lot about resilience. Yeah, it's about
knowing who you are and knowing what you're up against
and knowing that you have the strength within yourself to
go through all that, and also to know that you're
not alone in that process, especially like we've been very
lucky to have each other. I don't like I have
(28:40):
all the representation I need because they're they're there in
front of the stage with me all the time. But
I think it could be pretty isolating and pretty jarring
just step into the scene where you don't see yourself
in any of the stages, in any of the music
that you hear. But I think that in this era
that we live in right now, things have changed so
much and I think that women are completely dominating the scene.
(29:03):
Like you see the charts and you see the concerts
and you see who is buying these tickets and who
they're going to see, and it's such a wonderful thing
because rock has always been this genre of breaking rules
and like breaking the norm and exploring new things. So
I think it's it's a natural, it's a given that
this is a space for us. So as long as
(29:24):
you know you are going to have things that like
men don't have to deal with like that, there are
things that are and it's not fair, but once you
once you get through that and you kind of just
like power through it. The the amount of satisfaction of
knowing that even though this place wasn't built for us,
(29:44):
but we're here and we're playing and we're sharing our music,
that satisfaction and that like sense of sisterhood is very
is very beautiful.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
What social causes are important to you, Any particular charities
or causes that you want to.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
Highlight, Well, I think mental health and generalism that's very
important to us, especially because we have heard so many
stories from so many bands who share things about their
lives and tough moments that they had are people close
to them, and I think music is the like the
(30:24):
most like open space to have these conversations and to
find yourself for persented and to feel that you're not alone,
like going to concerts and seeing like hundreds of other
people who are maybe feeling the exact same thing as
you are. I think that we have always been very
big advocates like taking care of yourself mentally and like
(30:45):
leaning on other people and finding that connection and community,
and for us to be able to give a space
for community within like our music is very important, especially
because mental health, like I think it effects like well
literally everyone, especially in the times that we live and now,
there are so many factors that we see every single
(31:06):
day that can really affect us deeply. And I know
that we have our fair share of things to deal with,
and I think that we're always just very big advocates
for communication and for healthy outlets, and hopefully people lean
towards music for that outlet. It is such a great
(31:28):
place to let all those emotions go and at least
we always ended up feeling wealthier about It's very therapeutic,
So I think that's something that we're really passionate about.
And also us opening space for women. That's always very
important to us, us as Mexican women, traveling all over
the world, representing our country, representing that music truly is
(31:49):
for everyone. These are causes that are extremely important to
us because they it is us like, they inherently affect
us as human beings. So hopefully with what we do,
we can change people's minds little by little, just by
sharing our music and being on stage.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
So when does the tour start, where will it take you?
And how long will the tour be?
Speaker 4 (32:13):
Of course, Well, the tour starts next week.
Speaker 6 (32:16):
Yeah, We're going to South America for Lo La, Argentina
and Brazil.
Speaker 4 (32:23):
We're also visiting Colombia and Bahaway and then we head
to the UK with Young Blood that's gonna be amazing,
and then coming back to the US with Young Blood
as well, and then we do a lot of festivals
and in the summer in Europe science Japan. That's just
very exciting. It's gonna be a bit set year. We
(32:45):
have music coming so that that is just I think
the highlight of everything. And we miss touring so much,
so we're very excited to be back on the road
and to share all these new little surprises with everybody.
Speaker 3 (32:57):
That's fantastic. Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
So in closing for each of you, since we call
this little podcast taking a Walk, I want to ask
you if you could take a walk with somebody living
or dead, it doesn't have to be one person. Who
would that person be and where would you take a
walk with them?
Speaker 4 (33:18):
Okay, I have my answer. Okay, I have mine too.
I think I would like to take a walk with
Miley Cyrus. Okay, I would like to like walk like
around Central Park. It's just like a big park where
we can walk a lot. The reason why Miley Cyrus
started out when she was a kid. Okay, yeah, yeah yeah.
So obviously I didn't live this to the extent that
(33:41):
Miley's I posted my I was starting out when I
was a kid, and I think that we could like
really like I could learn a lot, you're allowed or
like how she lived through all of that. But also
she's such an incredible songwriter performer. Her rock album is
so good. I would use that walk to try to
convince her they do enough rock album because the voice
(34:02):
is just so perfect for that, and she's an ichone,
like she really impacted a whole jed Like, yeah, the
first things I covered when I when I started playing
the drums were was like the Hannah Montana's on soundtrack,
so technically like she's somebuddy that like really impacted the
way that I viewed music when I started out. So
I would love to have chat with her nice. I
(34:23):
had like two very different answers. One of them is
just I would say, Lady Ghana, it's like, my god,
I I want to know what goes on in her mind,
like taking a walk, I would say, in a peaceful part,
I want to big, like big, like I also thought
a central part, but it's aw for me. I like
peaceful things. I mean, everything she does is absolutely insane.
(34:47):
She has gone through like so many eras in in pop,
and I feel like pop is an industry that moves
so differently from ours, and it's just like I would
learn a lot from it and the other ends or
I had was like with our younger selves, because like
I honestly don't remember how I saw the world back then,
and like then, like like hearing from like both perspectives,
(35:11):
I think would be very interesting. I mean it's something
that can't happen, but but it would be very I
kind of want you both to include me in your walks.
I would want to be I wouldn't include you in
my walk with this person because I would be so
nervous to ask anything that I would need your support there.
I would take a walk with Julianrace.
Speaker 3 (35:32):
Yeah, oh my.
Speaker 6 (35:33):
God, if my dream.
Speaker 4 (35:37):
It's my dream to meet her and just like breathe
the same air as her.
Speaker 6 (35:42):
I would This is super exaggerated, but I would definitely
take a walk in a freaking mountain in Austria just
because of that music.
Speaker 4 (35:50):
Yeah, just and by a river. I would die. Oh
but yeah, just just to have a conversation and I
don't I wouldn't even ask for anything. I feel like,
just talk to me about lemonade or whatever which is.
I would just enjoy that moment to the fullest. For sure.
Speaker 1 (36:09):
Well.
Speaker 2 (36:09):
I love Central Park and I love the Warning, So
sometimes I want to take a walk with the Warning
in Central Park. You didn't ask me, but I'm telling
you that, so that would be fantastic.
Speaker 3 (36:20):
But this has been amazing. I am so.
Speaker 2 (36:23):
Excited that I had the opportunity to speak with you.
Congratulations on everything. Thank you for giving us the joy
of your music. And go get them on the tour
