Hello everybody, we are scrubbing in.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
TIS we are Tis his Tis Actually today is true
is True, Truth's.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Truth, trus Truth's because we have a very I guess
I should say we have very special guests slurle coming
in today. Easton really introduced us to the band that
is Trusdale. That is correct.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
They're my favorite band right now. Over the last year, Okay,
I listened to their album every single day, more than
more than twenty two I'm sorry, more than Beach Boys,
more than the Beach Boys, who I love Truesdale so much.
I found them by searching Beach Boys covers on YouTube
(00:57):
and I found them doing a cover of Wouldn't It
Be Nice, which is a very hard song to sing,
great song, and I was like, oh my god, who
are these women. Their voices are better than the Wilson brothers.
I have not heard voices like theirs in forever. I've
never heard voices that good. So I went back and
found their older stuff and I was like, Oh my god,
they're so good.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
And You're like, we have to have them on the podcast.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
And I went and saw them live and they talk
about how they produced their own music and they write
their own songs and they do all this incredible stuff
trying to be role models for women in the music industry.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Women.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
I was like, Oh, we gotta get them on scrubbing in,
get them in the ore and there.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
That is where they belong. Yes, and that is where
they have come, and.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
That is where they have come. The Trusdale band themselves,
It's Quinn, Georgia and Lauren and they're scrubbing in today.
So everyone welcome Truesday. Can I just address you as Truesdale? Absolutely? Yes,
We're so happy to have y'all. It's been a long
time coming. Easton introduced us to your music. He is
(02:00):
like such a glorious big fan. I listened to Out.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
Of my Mind your album every day on the way
to work and the way from home from is not
an exaggeration. It is a masterpiece.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
So when you introduced me, I obviously have started listening.
And I, first of all, would you say that Out
of my Mind is a breakup album? Oh? Not no,
not intentionally.
Speaker 5 (02:27):
I feel like we had we collected a bunch of
songs and a lot of them happened to be like breakup.
I guess yea as two different breakups in my why not?
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Why not?
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Why not?
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Just yes?
Speaker 5 (02:40):
I think because it is just my experience the breakup,
so I wouldn't say that.
Speaker 6 (02:46):
Yeah, oh yeah, I feel like we also end up
happened like writing a lot of songs that sound like
breakup songs, but like the person in question that you're
being broken up with. I think we play a lot
with it being like non human things like depression, anxiety,
like just dealing with stress in your life, or even
like a relationship with a parent or a friend. I
(03:09):
think that there's so many different ways that you can
feel grief in a relationship than a breakup. And I
think that's kind of like where we all have our
own meanings that we attached to the songs. I think
let's talk about those meanings.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
It's to them a little more. So you all went
to school together, right? But did are y'all all from
southern California?
Speaker 1 (03:32):
No?
Speaker 2 (03:32):
I grew up in Michigan.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Okay, Okay, I was born in upstate New York, but
mostly from here.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Okay, So y'all met at school though, Yeah, So as
a musician, I know nothing about that couldn't be further
from my life. You go into school wanting to be
a singer, right, do you ever have this dream of
it being with other people or do you go thinking
I'm gonna be a solo artist. That's what I thought.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Yeah, I definitely never imagined myself in a band with
like multiple singers.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Yeah at all.
Speaker 5 (04:04):
Same, Yeah, I didn't even know what I wanted to
be going there. It was more kind of for me
it was like, oh, I I'll try this, and then
going there was like the Yeah, I realized that I
wanted to do that then and then we all met
and then the rest is history.
Speaker 6 (04:20):
Yeah, I think I always like, I've always enjoyed playing
with other people, but yeah, I definitely didn't see myself
like being in a band with two other singers. But then, honestly,
it's funny looking back, I like really grew up listening
to a lot of like Peter Paul, Mary from my.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Mom and dad.
Speaker 6 (04:35):
Yeah, and I was like, oh, that makes sense, Like
maybe the idea was like planted in me very young.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Yeah. Georgia and I both grew up doing like musical
theater and acappella. Yeah, so I feel like harmony was
in our lives a lot too.
Speaker 5 (04:48):
Yeah, and already like a lot of collaboration.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Yeah, like team vibe.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
That's the thing I feel like when you're in a group,
like when you're when you're solo, every decision is your own.
When you're a group, every decision is a group. So
there's pros and cons. Definitely, how did I learn to
like work together and like who gets the final say?
Speaker 1 (05:07):
I think we learned by failing a lot about that,
you know, like learned from our mistakes with it, and
we really try to have I mean it depends on
how important the decision is. Sometimes it is like it
needs to be a unanimous decision if it's really big,
and then other times it depends on who feels really
strongly about what we're talking about. And I think, yeah,
(05:29):
we it's I don't know, like case by case basis
of how we make decisions.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
I think it's definitely.
Speaker 6 (05:38):
It's definitely like I had something in my head and
then I just completely forgot.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
It's like a team effort. I mean, like you're joining
a team and it's like everyone's opinion is important and
we have to at least come to some agreement on
this because when I listened to the album, bad Blood
is like the obvious start of the app Like, I'm like,
did they write this ago? This has to start the
album because as soon as this is it, here we go,
(06:04):
We're going on a ride.
Speaker 5 (06:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
It feels like such an opener. It like it did
yeah pretty early on.
Speaker 6 (06:13):
It's so funny too, because I think that was like
one of the first songs that we wrote for the
album yea, And it just so happened that, like on
the writing trip where we wrote most of these songs,
that was the first one, and then we had done
like the NPR live sessions on YouTube, and then it
came out and I think that just naturally kind of
like wanted to be yeah, the first song.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
But I feel like we skipped a whole step because
it was like, Okay, you guys went to school together
and then we're talking about the album, but like, how
did you guys form your formed three of you?
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Like, how did that process go? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (06:45):
Well, we all did, I think after college, so we met,
we started singing together. Laura and I had a songwriting class.
We just quickly started to write together. We had like
a writing connection. We wrote this song and then we
they met in their dorm and then we were all
on the same program also, so we immediately I remember
(07:06):
the first time I heard both of them like do
their thing, and I was like, oh, so blowing away.
So we all have just so much respect for each
other as people, as performers and writers arrangers. And then
we had the song called Dory Meat, which is out.
It's the first song that we ever wrote together, and
(07:27):
Quinn came and we sang it together just like tapping
our legs for our songwriting class in school. And then
just the reaction of the class was like way, it
was just really surprising to us all. It was like
a really.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Really loving, positive reaction.
Speaker 5 (07:41):
And then we're like, Okay, I guess there's something here.
And then we kept writing and singing together throughout college.
We had a lot of support from our professors, which
I think also kept us going. And then after school
we all did different things for a bit. We all
like I did a solo priet for a while, Quinn
worked on a cruise ship, Lauren worked on her solo project,
(08:05):
and then we came together we started writing together again,
and then it just it naturally. Then COVID happened and
we started to record and Lauren got really into production,
and that's kind of how we entered into like officially
doing Truesdale. And then after that did well, we all
kind of committed to doing it full time.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Yeah, you know, and where did the name? That was
my question?
Speaker 6 (08:29):
Oh yeah, so it comes from the name of a
street that runs through campus of our university, yone Parkway.
We were sitting on the lawn trying to think of names.
We were very concerned about it being a name that
like no one else had, so we would just think
of a name and then type it into a Spotify.
Now we can't use that one. Type it in if
(08:50):
we can't use that one. And then we looked up
and saw the sign like what about Truesdale.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Which is funny because there are the Truesdale estates which
are like well known as like rich.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Buildings and states.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
I don't know, and so I think that one slipped
through the crash.
Speaker 6 (09:07):
Were finally committed a few times, but it just like,
I don't know, nothing else ever felt right.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Yeah. Our second choice was the Sorrow Sisters, the.
Speaker 6 (09:16):
Sisters, and then we had Carolina Blue Carolina, which is
like both of those are alter egos at this point exactly.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
So what we're so the ones that you looked up,
the ones that you looked up on Spotify, what were
some of those that you were like, Oh, it's already taken.
Oh my gosh, my.
Speaker 6 (09:36):
Gosh, wow, I'm sure I could we have a nook.
I have no idea.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Though, that'd be really funny.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Yeah, the Destiny's Chops.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
What does Truesdale mean to you?
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Guys? Like the name?
Speaker 7 (09:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Well, I feel like the.
Speaker 5 (09:56):
Feeling of it, at least to me, and part of
why we've stuck with it is because it kind of
feels genrealless, like when you see the name where when
you hear it, it's like Truesdale. It could be full,
it could be rock. Yeah, it feels pretty broad and
it's like a statement. There's no the We also thought
about that just.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
A word, yeah, and to not like associate it with
like where three women or a trio or sisters in
some way of like we're just a band.
Speaker 7 (10:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
I think that that also is important. I feel like
none of us like loved the name, but then we
were like, oh, but like think about the Beatles, they're
like bugs and you don't but you don't associate it
with that at all. These associated with the music, so
like eventually the name won't sound like anything but what
people think of with their music.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Yeah, that's what it was.
Speaker 6 (10:46):
Your question was so interesting because I was like, whoa,
I've never even really thought of that before.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
But you know, I go subterranean.
Speaker 6 (10:52):
Yeah, I feel like, you know, even though the name
comes from USC, I feel like it really when I
hear the word Trusdale now, I just think of everything
that we've built and like everything it means to us
now way more than our where we went to school.
Speaker 5 (11:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
I think we've really just grown to like make it
our own, right, total, Yeah, your own meaning. Yeah, I
mean that's You're so right. When I hear the Beatles,
I don't. I was like, oh that is a bug. Yeah, yeah,
you just don't. We're like the police. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (11:25):
Yeah, that's a bit of an odd one, but yeah
it rocks.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Yeah. You know, so you all have designated colors. How
did that was that? Did it? Was it like you
just kept showing up in the same color and were like,
should this be our thing? Or what was that intentional?
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (11:40):
I feel like we I like never wore green before this.
And Georgia. I feel like you didn't really wear paying No,
don't you wear too much.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
But we decided we started getting more colorful before we
started releasing music, and one of our friends reckoned that
we go to this place called Big Bud Press that
has these incredible jumpsuits, and so we started trying on
different colors and combinations and we just landed on these,
and then people started associating us, like with the colors.
(12:14):
I feel like after that of like the pink one, yeah,
the blue one. So then which kind of stuck with it? Yeah,
accepted our fate so fun.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
You're like, have you heard of the color analysis?
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (12:24):
You're like, I hope this is my color. Really I
don't think so. I feel like it is.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
Analysis.
Speaker 5 (12:33):
It's like where they's they you know, like your tone, Yeah,
are you a winter yeah?
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Summer? Yeah. But I was thinking, I mean, you'll all
your color compliments you So it was like, did y'all
do a full test? And like.
Speaker 5 (12:49):
We should have when we tried the jumpsuits on. Part
of the reason that we picked them was because we
looked at that we tried so many on we had
maroon like whatever. Yeah, and then when we looked in
the mirrors, in the mirrors, in the singular mirror, it
was a really cool mirror. We stood and we're like
something about them.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Just it worked.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Probably because it's the same colors as the power puff probably, yeah,
but we didn't think about afterthought.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
In the moment. Again, Yeah, in hindsty, it's all yeah,
I like it. I do want to do It's nostalgic.
I do feel like you are in an industry that
is naturally harder for women. Have you all experienced that
being a band, a trio of women and you do,
you produce, you write, you do everything for your music.
(13:33):
Have you found that to be a challenge? Definitely?
Speaker 1 (13:36):
I think I think we experience it all the time,
and we talk about it, like on stage and between
the three of us. I think, I think there's so
many levels of it, and I don't think we have
the worst of it at all. But I think, as
like women that are producing ourselves, I think we run
in I mean in small ways of just like the
assumption that we didn't produce our music, and like when
(13:56):
people are like who produced it for you? And uh,
when we go on tour, like walking into venues, I
feel like the people that are running the venues, like
their first assumption is we don't know what we're doing.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
But I love that. I get super stoked when that happens.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
I do.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
I think we're good, so they're always regretting it later.
Speaker 5 (14:17):
Yeah, we kind of like prove it to the people
have to reperform. Yeah, but yeah, it's a weird industry,
like to I think for anyone, it's just a confusing
and not very explanatory industry. You can't go into it
and like know what's going to happen no matter what.
But also being a woman does put you at like
(14:38):
a little bit of a disadvantage in terms of feeling
like you have to prove more to people, especially because
it's so heavily male, I think especially in the production
part and in certain songwriting sessions. You know, sometimes we're
lucky because we have three people so we're supporting each other.
But if I was alone, I'm sure there'd be certain
(14:59):
situations that we been in where I would be so uncomfortable.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
That's so true.
Speaker 6 (15:03):
I've never I've never thought of that before, Like that's
it really is. Having there be three of us, we're
usually outnumbering whoever we're working and so even just that
fact alone, I think it makes us a little bit
more intimidating, which I honestly like I feel for sometimes
when we're working with someone for the first time, I'm like,
we're a lot of energy, like all in one room
(15:24):
together at the same time. But yeah, it can it
can be tough to to feel heard in a way
that is genuine and not like you're trying to control
the situation, like being a leader in for a woman
in any scenario.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
And it's the same with music.
Speaker 6 (15:43):
You are at risk of being called, oh like controlling,
and so I think that's that's definitely something. It's just
it's just hard to advocate for yourself and what you
want because a lot of time times you know you.
Speaker 5 (16:02):
Don't want to keep their stereotype. Yeah, well, be grateful
for what you have, like.
Speaker 6 (16:08):
And and even like oh no, I want to even
like with members of your team sometimes of like oh no,
I want to produce this song. I think this could
have a good vision, and then they could potentially come
back and say, oh, well, like you should be flexible
and like maybe try to work with some other producers
and like, have you checked out this list of people
that I think you could be cool to work with
(16:29):
and like some it's a it's a tough balance because
it's all it's all yes, and you know, like working
with other people is great.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
You learn so many new things.
Speaker 6 (16:38):
You can grow yourself as a producer, as a collaborator
doing those opportunities. But there really is something to be
said for like taking the time and just learning how
to do it yourself. And I think women, especially in
product music production, women are not given that time or
are not encouraged to go explore what that's like, what
(17:00):
their sound is like, because they're so often put in
a room with someone that's just more experienced or like
can do it faster. Yeah, And then even when you
do co produce, like we're running into this even now
with some new music that we've been working on of
like we're so like we do so much for our
project and we're spread so thin, and we're trying to
(17:21):
find more ways to like be have like a healthy
environment and like really be able to tackle all the work.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
That we need to.
Speaker 6 (17:29):
And so we're working with a co producer on this
next batch of songs, and there's you're always running the
risk of, like someone saying, even though we're listed as
a producer, like, oh, well, they're just the artist.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
They just got a production credit because like they're.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
The arta, like they wanted the credit, so they just
like changed a word or something.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Totally, yeah, totally.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
It is interesting. Like when I think about this industry
in particular, it is like very it's like men helping men.
It's like it's like in their nature.
Speaker 5 (18:14):
Do you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (18:15):
It's like, yes, that's just how.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
It is, and like men also are not like I
feel like sometimes as women, we do tend to be
feel like we can't speak or share as much as
we want, and other men like just ask for what
they want and demand it, and it's like it's so
hard for us to do it.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
It's so interesting.
Speaker 5 (18:32):
I have truly noticed that when I am saying an idea,
specifically in the production area of our job, I have
tried to say it with a lower tone so that
it's listened to more like when we're working with men,
because something about being like oh my god, this people's
not a.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Scientific evidence to back that up that people respond more
to like a lower voice.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Well, I can't think of her name right now, but
she dressed like Steve Jobs and.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
No, no, not most Elizabeth the Holmes homes.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Homes Liz Holmes, and she was trying to come up
that's what she.
Speaker 5 (19:16):
Friend.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
She changed her voice and went like a way deeper tone,
and they did like a whole documentary on it, and
they were like, because she she knew she'd be respected
more like if she sounded for whatever reason, yes, it
sounded better to men if she's hot in a lower tone.
It's crazy.
Speaker 5 (19:35):
I feel like the main challenge is personally, you know,
it's within yourself for me to be like, Okay, I
have ideas I should be listened to just as much
as anybody, and not getting in my own head of
being like, oh, yeah, that's actually a better idea, yeah,
just because I don't know.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Why wait gold on, yeah, confident regardless of like if
this idea is perfect and well formed, and just throwing
things out there and like letting them be imperfect. And
I think that it's really that's something that I've had
to come to terms with and like work through of
(20:13):
having so many ideas in my head and not saying
them out loud because I'm afraid that they're not good enough.
And then you just you get so much farther when
you just put things out there because.
Speaker 5 (20:22):
It's like, oh, this might be a terrible idea, but
maybe it'll get some cooking.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Yeah, totally. That's My girlfriend's an artist, she's a musician,
and she always says, you know, she'll she's like, I
just want to all like women team yeah, And I'm like,
she's like, I want a woman producer. I'm like, get
a woman producer. She's like, you don't understand how hard
it is a male dominated in space like that. It's
(20:46):
just like if if you have an idea effect yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
Like it's like if you work for like whatever, let's
say this label, and then they have their like producer
that they always like work with or you know, that's
that's the guy. Everyone has their guy.
Speaker 7 (21:00):
Know.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 6 (21:01):
I think about this all the time too, Like I
feel like we're in this time right now where like
producers have like such a sound to them, and then
I think people like seek out whatever that sound is,
but they're forgetting that like the artist is half of
that sound, if not more a lot of time and
so people want to work with Jack Antonoff. They want
(21:22):
to work with like all these different producers like Ethan
groscar A people that have produced these records that they
really love because like, oh I want that sound, but
really sometimes the sound that they're chasing is just the artist.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
Yeah, and then.
Speaker 6 (21:36):
I think, I mean, I honestly feel bad for those
producers too, because then it boxes them in creatively to
like the kind of music that their clients are coming
to them for, because like you know, people come to
Ethan Gresca and they're like, oh, we play like rubber
bridge guitar, like that'll sound really cool on this record,
and it's like, now Ethan grosk is like, god, I'm
sure he's like I.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Never want to buy another guitar in a song ever again.
Speaker 6 (21:59):
But yeah, it's really it's really interesting. It is like
a cycle just feeds into itself.
Speaker 4 (22:04):
That's something you guys have talked about your shows that
really affected me. Was hearing like because like everyone knows
Jackie enough, everyone knows like write and tender like people
like that. But like I would say, I couldn't think
of a single female producer, you know, like like Julian Michaels.
Maybe I don't know. Yeah, you know, like and you
guys that your shows always talk about like if there's
no way. You know, you want to be the person
(22:25):
that does something, so then someone who like it looks
like your sounds like you, or is like you, like, oh,
I can do that now, And I don't know. I
just I'm so inspired about what you're doing because it's
it's it's an incredible thing. I think about all the
like girls out in the audience at your shows that
are seeing you guys perform, and like you're producing earlier
on something. Oh I could do something like that.
Speaker 7 (22:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Wow, I love that.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
I feel like that's like our main goal in talking
about that stuff and doing it ourselves. I think like
sometimes it feels like it would be easier and we're
trying to find ways to collaborate while still maintaining like
musical integrity and control over our masters and like the
(23:04):
rights to our music and stuff.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
But yeah, I feel like that's it's so.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Important to know that maybe we could be something that
we didn't see growing up.
Speaker 5 (23:14):
Yeah, And I feel like knowing that us saying that
our shows does inspire people inspires us too, because it
feels like, Okay, we're.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Doing this for a reason. Yeah, because it's.
Speaker 5 (23:28):
Hard still to find it within every day. Yeah, every
day you gotta fight the good fight. Yeah, you're writing
a song a kind of good fight.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
All the time.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
I know it's a little off topic, but are you
Are you all cycle SYNCD?
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Like, I feel like we go in and out.
Speaker 6 (23:54):
You have a really long we all have very different
different situations.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Okay, sometimes we are.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
I feel like when we're on tour, it happens. I
have the implant in my arm, so I just got
off of a literal month long period, so that definitely.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
Messes it up. But when we're all together all the time.
Speaker 5 (24:13):
Yeah, I feel like, yeah, yeah, I would say so.
Usually you'll be like, oh, I think I'm gonna get
your hair.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
And I'm like, oh, Tanya with a hard hitting question.
I was curious about when y'all go So, y'all are
about to go on tour, right, yes? In June? Yeah,
in June.
Speaker 5 (24:29):
Well, I just like we are.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
I was like, did I get the wrong information? Day
by day?
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Living life to the fullest. So when y'all go on tour?
What what? How are y'all traveling? How will you be traveling?
Speaker 5 (24:45):
Sprinter?
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Okay, sprinter van? Yes? Do you do you like that?
Because my girlfriend she did Sprinter and then she did
tour bus, and she was like, I liked the Sprinter
because we got to go to a hotel and sleep
in a bed. That's a really nice part of it. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (24:59):
Sure, the long drives in the Sprinter are you know,
not amazing, But I think we're all just so broke
that you know, it's better than minivan.
Speaker 6 (25:09):
Yeah, it's way better than man. Yeah, I feel like, honestly,
it all depends on the routing. Because if you're like
we last year we opened for Corey Wong and we
were following, they were all in a tour bus, and
so our.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
That tour was routed for a tour.
Speaker 6 (25:25):
Bus, and so it'd be like the kind of thing
where you're playing a show in Chicago and then the
next night you're you're having to go all the way
to like I don't know, Nashville or something in one day.
And and so then we like they're they could just
like load out at the end of the night, yeah,
and then sleep and they just get driven to Nashville,
(25:46):
versus us we're like driving two hours after the show,
going to bed, waking up at eight, trying to drive
the rest of the way so that we get there
in time. So it really just depends on like how
the shows are booked.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
And we've never done a tour bus, so we don't
know what that we'll compare. Yeah, I would love that,
but I think it's a sleep is tough with I
sleep really well.
Speaker 6 (26:11):
Actually, then always says the back round of Sprinter, and
it's just fully horizontal the whole time.
Speaker 5 (26:16):
He has a foot rest, it's a blow up footrest rest.
I ask, and yeah, and if you look back, it's
a really fantastic.
Speaker 6 (26:25):
Well and and there's like she has because they're both
quin in order to have beautiful curly hair, and both
very committed to their curly hair regiments.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Because if we don't, it's just a frisbelle. But what
is it you It's called plopping.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Yeah, I PLoP my hair and a T shirt like
when it's wet, and then I tie it.
Speaker 6 (26:45):
And then she's usually wearing like a hoodie over that
with the mouth taste and then I'm ass, it's really good.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
Look, you don't even recognize I could sleep so nows.
When we get to the venue, people are like, yeah,
we're not looking so great. I mean me, you know,
I started to do the regimen.
Speaker 6 (27:09):
I'm so used to seeing you like that when like
one of my eyes was like shut most of the time.
Speaker 5 (27:15):
The green makeup is like running died.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
I feel like music. I feel like artists and musicians
are insane. Like there's a part of me that thinks
y'all are crazy. I tell my grandmamas all the time.
I'm like, I think people like you are crazy because
what drives you to to live this lifestyle? I'm serious,
like what is it? Because I don't I don't have it,
so I don't get it. I feel like they trick you.
Speaker 6 (27:39):
You know, you grow up being like I want to
sing songs for a living, and like write songs.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
That'll be easy. I'm on a stage, like yay.
Speaker 6 (27:48):
And then you pursue that and you're like this is
so fun, and then you like you, you know, you
actually start to have to do it where you're like, Okay,
now you have to like open up an LLC to
keep track of your finances, and now you like doing
that all the time, And then you have to pay
your taxes, and then you have to get a manager,
and then you get a lawyer and an agent, and
then you have to go on tour, and then you're
(28:08):
doing all this stuff in a sprinter van and like
immediately disgusting venues and green rooms sometimes and then all
of a sudden you look at your life and you're.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
Like, wow, this is what I didn't know. This is
what I was signing up for, what dreams were made of. Yeah,
it's so true. I don't know.
Speaker 6 (28:24):
I feel like it gives musicians like a thicker skin
where you're kind of like.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
There's something like you're doing what you love exactly. Like
that's the thing I think at the end of the
day too, It's like.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
It's it.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
It's something that's in you, you know what I mean,
Like like you were saying, like I could, I could never,
Like I am such a creature of habit. I to
like in bed by nine pm, lights out by nine
p fifteen, like I need to have you know, love
Islander Traders on the TV, and you know, like I
see creature of habit.
Speaker 5 (28:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
So for me, like living in a sprinter and being
in a different city every day, like that would just
make me so anxious, Whereas I feel like if you
live my life, you would be so anxious.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
She'd be like, get me out of this.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
Like, yeah, I feel like of all of the musicians
that are like living that tour life. We definitely are
more homebodies, and we don't go crazy when we're touring,
Like we go to bed as early as we possibly can.
We're not like partying out late. I think we all
love the travel aspect of it, but it is an
(29:24):
interesting like balance of we're not I don't think we
would have ever like roughed it, like a lot of
people will get into like the minivan and do it
all themselves and sleep on couches and like, you know,
do whatever it takes. I feel like we were never
willing to do that until we had like some foundation
yeah to like actually go on a more comfortable tour.
(29:47):
But it is interesting. I feel like I love coming
home after a tour and like being home and doing
my own routine and being by myself. But there's something
about the live performance, and I think there's like validation
that you get, like when you're on stage and stuff,
the connection that you get with people, and then also
like hearing people sing our lyrics back, or like hearing
(30:09):
how people were affected by our music or by our performance,
like that's worth any discomfort or like lack of sleep
or routine.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
I feel like it's amazing.
Speaker 5 (30:19):
Yeah, I feel like the the whole path, the touring
and all the things that are difficult, because yeah, I
feel like I'm also a creature of habit and that
sounds like a great night to me.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
Yeah, but I think like the whole side, yeah, but I.
Speaker 5 (30:33):
Feel like the overall thing that yeah, makes us crazy
is like for me, I just feel like I have
something to say, and we all have something to say,
and we can like we have you know, these tools,
and we have music and it feels important and I
feel like that's what drives us to do the whole thing.
(30:54):
And then when it comes to the specifics and the touring,
to me, the stage is like just the most I
feel the most myself when I'm on the stage, and
I feel like so excited to It's just it's like, oh,
it's like a job that I just love. And then
all the other stuff is really hard, just like anything,
you know.
Speaker 6 (31:14):
I feel like there is a little bit of this
myth that like musicians like tend to be like all
this one kind of like go like I want to
just be traveling seeing the world all the time, but
like touring is so like in reality, like touring is
so bad for you, Like it's so.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
Bad for your health.
Speaker 6 (31:32):
And luckily there's like a lot more resources now, Like
what's the one that we always see that has the
like the plug logo, It's like beat.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
I just was learning about it.
Speaker 6 (31:46):
It's like a mental health resources. Oh, Backstage. It's called Backstage.
It's like this company they have like in green rooms
like this, you know, like an info sheet of like
how they can get help to find therapists and you
know if they're like over saying like they can you know,
find the resources to help deal with that emergency care
(32:06):
and such. But like then that, I think there's music Cares,
which is like also a really great thing. But I
think it's we're entering into a new time. I think
where like the rock and roll lifestyles changing of like
maybe it's not super fun to go out and like drink,
not sleep.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
And then do it again the next day every months.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
But I can see why people did Slash do that
with the lifestyle that it is exhausting.
Speaker 5 (32:34):
It is because you like literally like you have to pain, Yeah,
you have to put on a great show or like
you could have had like no sleep the night before
and then you have the biggest show of your life
the next day and to do this really well, I'm going.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
To do drugs right, ye see.
Speaker 6 (32:49):
And I feel like now it's the way that I
look at it more now is like I'm being when
I'm on the road, I'm being an athlete, because it
really is about just like, Okay, how do I take
care of my body in the way that is going
to get me to the stage tomorrow and the next
day and the day after.
Speaker 5 (33:04):
That, which is kind of freeing when you only have
one thing to focus on. We kind of say like
touring is nice because it's just one hat every day.
The job is the show, that's it. But when we're
back home, it's like, yeah, how many things can I
do in one day?
Speaker 7 (33:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (33:36):
Are any of you in relationships? Yeah? All three of us. Okay,
have have y'all toured while being in a relationship? Yeah.
We have a very interesting setup.
Speaker 1 (33:48):
So my boyfriend, Carter is our drummer, so he goes
on ideal situations, Yeah, very much.
Speaker 6 (33:56):
And then my boyfriend is our mixing engineer slash occasional
bass player, so he's been on the road with us
a few times, but okay, for the most he's he
stays at home.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
And so he won't be going on tour. Mm, he'll
be at Bonn with us, which will be very cool.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
But other than that, he's like, I'll come to brow
yeah exactly when we have more money, will take them
all the time.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
It's like we can't afford to have enough. Yeah, yeah,
I know, but.
Speaker 5 (34:25):
Oh yeah, my girlfriend is non a musician, but I
love her.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
Does she come to visit? Okay? This makes me feel
seen because you're on the other side of this relationship.
I have a very hard time when my girlfriend. God,
so does my girlfriend. And I think there's something when
it's two women that makes it extra emotional. And I
was laughing thinking about you being like we have to
get on stage and like, no matter what's happened in
(34:51):
her life, like that's a focus, and I would be
like just causing drama, Like I literally have to go perform. Yeah,
I have to go entertain these people and like give
a show. And I'm like, fine, give to them, take
away from me. It's hard. It's hard to balance.
Speaker 5 (35:11):
That's fair, Like, you know, you have needs on the
other side, and it's also really hard for somebody who
isn't touring to like understand the lifestyle. It's just both
are true and it's tough. Thank god for FaceTime. And
you know what, she if we going, really, we've only
done like month long tours so far, so if we did,
I don't know if your girlfriend is like super long tours.
Speaker 2 (35:33):
She yeah, a couple of months. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (35:35):
I feel like once it passes the one month, she's
definitely gonna be visiting me.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
You know, figured it out two weeks starting fights hours
and she's like, okay, yeah that did happen, but I
try to make it to two weeks. Yeah, it's I
mean came and saw us last time. I mean we
it was it was a wild day for her to come.
Speaker 5 (35:57):
Yeah, she's from Canada, Okay, yeah, and we were in Vancouver,
but we had a crazy day right before that ship anyway,
was this the merch situation?
Speaker 2 (36:07):
Yeah? Okay, can you tell people because this wasn't our
prep and I'm like, this is a crazy story. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (36:11):
Our main you know, takeaway point is, you know, when
you're crossing into Canada, you know, just careful, make sure
you know that you have a carne and no one will.
Speaker 2 (36:24):
Tell you what that is, but make sure you have it.
It's a special document, a.
Speaker 5 (36:27):
Special document and you know, don't have other things you got.
Speaker 1 (36:35):
They're really they're just so strict. And we've never had
an issue at the border before. But because we didn't
have like all the proper documents among other things, like
we got pulled over and we got held there for
like most of the night, and we had left from
a show in Seattle. So we're like, we're just going
to get in, you know, a little late, but like
it'll be better to be there that night. And we
(36:57):
were there until like four thirty in the morning, and
like I had to walk back to the US like
side of my slippers, like begging these people to like
help us, and they gave us a different form, but yeah,
they were harsh. So we got to our airbnb at
like six thirty, and we didn't have everyone on our
crew left.
Speaker 2 (37:16):
There were well why did they stop you?
Speaker 1 (37:19):
They stopped us because we didn't have the documents that
we were in like the right order. And like sometimes
it just depends on what kind of person you get.
Speaker 5 (37:26):
We got a bad like not a bad but just
like we got somebody who really was strict, and so
then we yeah, we had to pull into the thing
and then they we got all these things seized. We
couldn't bring the merch across. Part of that was because
of the carne. And so then once we got through
to Canada, we went to a Salvation Army and just
purchased like a bunch of just shirts in our colors
(37:47):
and just wrote yeah with.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
Lyrics and stuff. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
Like our van got taken like they towed it with
They started towing because they someone had asked one of
the band members if there had been any drinking that night,
which was like, we had no one was drunk and
it was hours after the show, but we had had drinks.
And so then they were like, then all of you
are unfit to drive, and they while we were trying
(38:11):
to get the other paperwork with all of our stuff
in the van, they just started towing it and the like,
and we're like, I'm re entering the US like at
the same time trying to get these papers.
Speaker 5 (38:24):
The phones are all on one percent because we weren't
expecting to be and the you know, they.
Speaker 2 (38:28):
Weren't letting us like get up from the seats. It
was crazy.
Speaker 5 (38:31):
More all of the story, if you're crossing into Canada,
have a carne and maybe don't go in like overnight. Yeah,
because maybe those those people are a little bit more
looking for a show.
Speaker 2 (38:39):
Yeah, they were.
Speaker 6 (38:40):
You just want to you just want to follow all
the rules to the tea because if you give them
any reason to flag you, like even a little bit,
then they just that's all the reason they need to
just make your life a living hell.
Speaker 2 (38:51):
So that was the the sounn. Their girlfriend came.
Speaker 5 (38:54):
So then we got back to the airbnb at six
am and I was texting her with my one percent phone.
I was like, I think I think we're gonna you know,
she was trying to track in my location and then
she was there waiting when we got there.
Speaker 2 (39:06):
We got there at like six am.
Speaker 5 (39:07):
She was like, hey, gosh, yeah yeah, yeah, she was
the vibes.
Speaker 2 (39:17):
You were like, I need to just be Yeah.
Speaker 5 (39:19):
But the next day I met her whole family like
the first time for the first time, you know, at
the show when it was just such a nightmare show too,
and her family was so sweet.
Speaker 2 (39:29):
So it was like the best.
Speaker 5 (39:30):
Possible situation that could have But it was a wild
But we love Canada. Yes, the situation at the border
back to Vancouver has nothing to do with our love
for Canada.
Speaker 2 (39:40):
Yeah, no, no, no, that's a legalistic thing.
Speaker 3 (39:43):
Yes, speaking of Canada, I have to pivot to Love Island. Yeah,
I was like, pivot, George. I know that you are
obsessed and I I too am obsessed.
Speaker 2 (39:57):
I know she didn't act obsessed with every you didn't act.
Speaker 5 (40:00):
I thought because I was worried that I wasn't gonna,
you know, be that I was gonna be tested on.
Speaker 2 (40:04):
The logistics of the characters or something. No test.
Speaker 3 (40:07):
But I would like to know what your favorite season
is of Love Island UK.
Speaker 5 (40:10):
Okay. I like the one with Page okay, and really
I think so I loved them.
Speaker 2 (40:17):
That was recent.
Speaker 3 (40:18):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 5 (40:20):
Think that was my favorite.
Speaker 3 (40:21):
Was the winners spoiler alert, David Day and Eke and Sue.
Yeah yeah, I believe they won.
Speaker 1 (40:28):
I know.
Speaker 2 (40:28):
I was a little shocked by that to I liked
that and Sue though, Oh yeah, that was great. I
love that show. Yeah, what's your favorite season?
Speaker 3 (40:38):
It's tough, it's tough, it's tough. It's I love season five.
I love Season seven.
Speaker 2 (40:45):
I really.
Speaker 3 (40:47):
The only one I haven't loved is like the first
two seasons. After that, it's like they just get better
and better and better.
Speaker 5 (40:52):
The only thing about the first two seasons that I
did like is that they were smoking cigarettes and it
looked totally like kind of nice.
Speaker 3 (40:56):
To me so much, like how much can these people smoke?
Speaker 2 (40:59):
Yeah, they're just in their bathing suits the whole time.
Speaker 3 (41:02):
But I think they put a band to it because
now they don't smoke at all.
Speaker 2 (41:05):
There's like no smoking allowed at all.
Speaker 5 (41:07):
Do you like it when they meet the families? Does
it stress you out?
Speaker 2 (41:10):
And I don't need that?
Speaker 1 (41:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (41:11):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (41:12):
I kind of start to fast forward when reality shows
make you meet the fa so like it's like you can.
Speaker 3 (41:18):
Tell some families like really don't want to be there, Yeah,
they don't want to be.
Speaker 2 (41:25):
Like and then some of them like loving or thriving.
Speaker 3 (41:28):
I feel back for the ones that like don't.
Speaker 5 (41:30):
I feel bad for some of the families are like
so supportive and they're so close, And then you can
tell that some people aren't super close to their families,
but they're just forced to come together and like maybe
seen each other in years or something.
Speaker 2 (41:41):
Isn't there a lesbian relationship in a recent season two
girls are dating or something? Who is it? See that
she was just in that was us?
Speaker 5 (41:50):
Oh, video pretty sexy.
Speaker 3 (41:55):
I don't mess with the US.
Speaker 2 (41:57):
I don't mess with either, so I just see what
I see on tickto a.
Speaker 5 (42:00):
Kind of it's interesting to like girls and to watch
Love Island. It's quite a street show, but something about it.
Speaker 3 (42:07):
I just had some I know, it's so wholesome elevision.
Speaker 5 (42:14):
Yeah, I feel like I've gotten through breakups because of
that show.
Speaker 3 (42:18):
It's a good It's never ending. It's like a new
episode every day. There's like sixty five episodes like the
Gift that keeps on giving.
Speaker 2 (42:24):
So true, Oh so good. It feels good. Thank you
so much. Thank you for indulging me. Thank you. I
appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (42:32):
I needed that.
Speaker 2 (42:33):
Who are y'all's musical inspiration?
Speaker 4 (42:35):
Like?
Speaker 2 (42:35):
Who who do you look to? When you're like if
I could have something similar to that style or career,
who is it for you? It's hard? That is really tough.
Speaker 6 (42:46):
I feel like it's changed to now like being a
band and like now really looking up to certain bands.
Speaker 2 (42:53):
I mean there's like.
Speaker 6 (42:55):
The Beatles, obviously, like George and I used to joke
around in college being like we could be like we
could be like you know, Lennon and.
Speaker 2 (43:02):
McCartney, like Green and Jones. Wow, that would be so
cool that just have a ring to it. I don't
have to kick me out.
Speaker 6 (43:11):
But but yeah, I mean I would say Fleetwood, Mac,
the Eagles, like CSN, those are all like my dream
for my dream bands. For Trusdale, I think of just
being like that legacy act of just like.
Speaker 2 (43:29):
Music is so important to us.
Speaker 6 (43:31):
And I would say it's like our mental health comes first,
and then our friendships come second, and then the band
comes third. And I think as long as those things
remain the same, I think we have like such a
beautiful future of just like a great long life doing
music together, which I think we're all very excited about
(43:52):
and love to foster that because that's why all those
bands did. I think they just like really stuck with
it and yeah, created this thing that you could really
just chew on for and sit on for a while,
which I think we all really appreciate that in an artist.
Speaker 5 (44:10):
Yeah, I feel like You two also is a good
example of a band that's just like still rockings, but
like also on a smaller scale, Big Thief, I feel,
just in terms of the trajectory that they continue to
put out albums, but also like Adrian Linker, puts out
albums and it just seems like they have like a
really healthy relationship to the band, you know, like Thief.
Speaker 1 (44:33):
No, I'm talking about the no Oh Okay, you might
recognize some of their songs.
Speaker 2 (44:39):
She has like a really recognizable voice.
Speaker 5 (44:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (44:42):
I feel like.
Speaker 5 (44:44):
Really really just beautiful songwriting, so many records and then
in terms of like just doing it, not in terms
of like at the scale for the rest of our lives,
but like Taylor Swift is a good example of just
so many eras. Yeah, and she just keeps like growing
and changing and like doing her thing. I think, I
don't know if we want to be doing like arena
(45:06):
tours like by the time, you know, in terms like
I think maybe we'll want to just have kids at
some point and like also do it, you know, but
having like a trajectory that just.
Speaker 3 (45:18):
Keeps changing, evolving, growing.
Speaker 1 (45:20):
I feel like Brandy Carlisle is a person in terms
of her career, Like it took her a really long
time to get where she is, and I feel like
she wasn't super well known even when she was objectively
like doing really well. But she's like so herself and
her music is so good, and I feel like She's
built this community also of like artists around her.
Speaker 2 (45:44):
Feels like a little exclusive.
Speaker 1 (45:46):
I'd love to be a part of it someday, but
it's I think she also is such a great artist
that we look up to, and just like the the
integrity of the music.
Speaker 2 (45:57):
I feel like she's like really about that. When I
saw that she doesn't use uh is it in ears?
I'm like, that is crazy. I know I would never
just for like going death, but I know respect. Yeah,
I guess it's crazy. You're like, good luck with your health.
Speaker 1 (46:14):
Like I like the idea of she they're not going
to like a metronome or a click and like they're
just feeling.
Speaker 5 (46:21):
She wears ear plugs, I hope, so you know, tried
to look at her ear holes like when we've seen
her on like big screens.
Speaker 2 (46:28):
I don't know, I don't see. That's scary to me
because that is, Yeah, it feels dangerous. It's loud. Wow,
like that her band do they go crazy? So I
don't know. You brought up Taylor Switch and the song
(46:57):
movie Star makes me think of debut Taylor God. I
love it. It's so romantic and feels so like when
you fall, like you're you know, falling love and everything
feels like a movie. Like if you can make everything
feel like a movie, I love that.
Speaker 1 (47:13):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (47:17):
If you go see you Tuesday Live, they bring someone
up on stage and put them in a stool and
like sing to them as if they're the movie star.
And two shows on the tour and both.
Speaker 2 (47:33):
Yah wants to be is it?
Speaker 6 (47:35):
Is it?
Speaker 3 (47:36):
Usually guy or girl doesn't matter, different different every city
we take turns picking yeah, because.
Speaker 2 (47:40):
It's really stressful.
Speaker 1 (47:41):
Yeah, I don't want to make anyone feel bad or
accidentally pick someone that's like.
Speaker 2 (47:46):
Wasted or like someone that actually is being forced to
do it. But we didn't realize something, Yeah, be a
hit or miss sometimes. When I saw a video of
y'all and it was the power something went out in Seattle,
I think, and you were like everyone's singing back to you.
I can't imagine what that must feel like. First of all,
I'm so scared of being on a stage in front
of people like that is so scary. But I imagine that
(48:10):
the high and the rush that you get from that,
and then you're watching everyone singing along, but then the
sound goes out and you can hear them. Yeah, what
is that like? It was so crazy.
Speaker 5 (48:20):
Is the coolest thing I think we've experienced to this day.
Speaker 2 (48:23):
Was Yeah, it so crazy.
Speaker 6 (48:25):
It's so funny looking back at it, because we're like, wow,
this literally looks like it was like stage because it
was so perfect, and it was like, I mean, for
us in the moment, we were just like okay, like
cause I feel like when at a certain point, once
you've played as many shows as we have, you start
to learn that anything that can go wrong will ye wrong.
Speaker 2 (48:44):
Yeah, and so.
Speaker 6 (48:45):
We're like, okay, like we all had our in years
in and so for us, all the sound went out
and then we were kind of.
Speaker 2 (48:51):
Like we were still singing or like what do we do?
Like we keep playing?
Speaker 6 (48:55):
And then we realized we took our ears out and
we realized that like everybody was.
Speaker 2 (48:59):
Singing, and then we.
Speaker 6 (49:01):
Were like, oh my god, like this is so cool.
We don't really know what's happening with the sound right now,
but like and then I started walking up to the
front of the stage and just.
Speaker 2 (49:09):
With my like literal acoustics.
Speaker 6 (49:12):
In my guitar was trying to like lead the crowd
in the song, and then Quinn picked up the tambourine.
Speaker 2 (49:18):
Were just jamming.
Speaker 6 (49:20):
George was like screaming so loud, like literally still in
that video, you're like the loudest thing, which.
Speaker 2 (49:25):
Is so impressive. George has to sing so high.
Speaker 5 (49:29):
It was like an endorphin rush.
Speaker 2 (49:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (49:31):
Oh, and then the fact that they kept going because
it was like a pretty long time that the power
was out. Yeah, and they just knew it, and I
feel like we were I just kept going like, actually,
it's all like in the same register.
Speaker 2 (49:49):
Oh my god, I know.
Speaker 1 (49:50):
The sound came back on and were like the perfect
moment and it was so that we couldn't hear it
in our ears because we'd taken them out.
Speaker 2 (49:56):
But then colors started.
Speaker 1 (49:57):
Yeah, and then everyone started screaming, so we were like, oh,
it's in that. We ran back and finished it. It was
so cool. It was so fun and like I think
because there are three of us, it's a little easier,
but something goes wrong to like look at each other
and be like, how are they not? Like yeah, and
we were going to stop, Like there was a moment
where we were kind of like, oh no, and like
then they just kept singing, so we were like.
Speaker 2 (50:17):
And then Lauren walked up.
Speaker 5 (50:19):
There was Yeah, there was like a little front parts
just like walked up and were he had like a
second to just be Okay, yep, we're walking that.
Speaker 2 (50:26):
It was perfect. Honestly, it was so fun. It was
such a rush.
Speaker 6 (50:29):
Yeah, and then that night was the go into Vancouver.
Speaker 2 (50:34):
We were like, honestly, maybe a'll got through that because
of that. Yeah, that you got totally meant to happen.
Speaker 3 (50:44):
Yeah, yeah, and hopefully many more memories like that. Yes,
when you go back out on tour.
Speaker 2 (50:49):
Yes, yeah, totally.
Speaker 7 (50:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (50:51):
I just saw a video of Noah Kan that happened
to him at one of his shows, like the power
went out and he sang a quiet song and I
know that that venue was like massive. I don't know
how people even heard him, but it was so cool.
People loved it. It's just amazing when you do live
music like that and it's really like your own voices
(51:11):
and musicians on stage. I think when things go wrong,
you can still perform, and I think it makes it
that much more beautiful. Of like we could still keep
singing and do stuff because we can hold our own
like in most situations.
Speaker 2 (51:25):
So it was a beautiful thing. I think.
Speaker 6 (51:28):
I think the unrehearsed moments in a live music show
is just like the most beautiful like that for me,
that's what I'm like connected to.
Speaker 2 (51:36):
I'm watching an artist and I'm like.
Speaker 6 (51:37):
Oh, man, like they're just like me, you know, like
they're a person, Like they make mistakes, you know, and
like I feel like that's just such a special thing
because you know that that moment is like just for
You're the only one witnessing that.
Speaker 4 (51:50):
I just want to give a co sign to going
to see them on tour because I went. I was
visiting my parents in Santa Cruz and I saw Juesday
I was gonna be playing at the Catalyst where I
grew up going to music, Like, oh, I can finally
to go see them. I've only seen them for like
a year. I went and we bought tickets to the
LA show. Like before we got back to the car,
I'm like, I have Yeah. Wow, your voices live are
(52:12):
such a powerful experience, so incredible. You cover the chain
by Fleetwood. Mackett's like, which, by the way, are you
going to release that is? Like can you get like
to stream or anything? My wife wanted me to ask
that question.
Speaker 5 (52:26):
Maybe maybe stay tuned.
Speaker 1 (52:30):
We're talking about different ideas of what we're doing all
right next.
Speaker 2 (52:34):
So it's incredible.
Speaker 4 (52:36):
I mean you're gonna be in what New York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts,
in the northeast. Yeah, so if you're in those areas,
you gotta go see Tuesday A Live. It's incredible. It's
insane than we have.
Speaker 2 (52:48):

aside from like Pa Voice, hell yeah, Beach Voice, but like,
literally I have I have never heard him talk about
music and like loving a band like he has about
you guys. So thank you for I'm so happy that
we got to meet you and got to learn your
(53:09):
music through him.

I will never know. Thank you'all so much for taking

Scrubbing In with Becca Tilly and Tanya rap An iHeartRadio podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Hello everybody, we are scrubbing in.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
TIS we are Tis his Tis Actually today is true
is True, Truth's.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Truth, trus Truth's because we have a very I guess
I should say we have very special guests slurle coming
in today. Easton really introduced us to the band that
is Trusdale. That is correct.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
They're my favorite band right now. Over the last year, Okay,
I listened to their album every single day, more than
more than twenty two I'm sorry, more than Beach Boys,
more than the Beach Boys, who I love Truesdale so much.
I found them by searching Beach Boys covers on YouTube
(00:57):
and I found them doing a cover of Wouldn't It
Be Nice, which is a very hard song to sing,
great song, and I was like, oh my god, who
are these women. Their voices are better than the Wilson brothers.
I have not heard voices like theirs in forever. I've
never heard voices that good. So I went back and
found their older stuff and I was like, Oh my god,
they're so good.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
And You're like, we have to have them on the podcast.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
And I went and saw them live and they talk
about how they produced their own music and they write
their own songs and they do all this incredible stuff
trying to be role models for women in the music industry.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Women.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
I was like, Oh, we gotta get them on scrubbing in,
get them in the ore and there.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
That is where they belong. Yes, and that is where
they have come, and.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
That is where they have come. The Trusdale band themselves,
It's Quinn, Georgia and Lauren and they're scrubbing in today.
So everyone welcome Truesday. Can I just address you as Truesdale? Absolutely? Yes,
We're so happy to have y'all. It's been a long
time coming. Easton introduced us to your music. He is
(02:00):
like such a glorious big fan. I listened to Out.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
Of my Mind your album every day on the way
to work and the way from home from is not
an exaggeration. It is a masterpiece.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
So when you introduced me, I obviously have started listening.
And I, first of all, would you say that Out
of my Mind is a breakup album? Oh? Not no,
not intentionally.
Speaker 5 (02:27):
I feel like we had we collected a bunch of
songs and a lot of them happened to be like breakup.
I guess yea as two different breakups in my why not?
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Why not?
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Why not?
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Just yes?
Speaker 5 (02:40):
I think because it is just my experience the breakup,
so I wouldn't say that.
Speaker 6 (02:46):
Yeah, oh yeah, I feel like we also end up
happened like writing a lot of songs that sound like
breakup songs, but like the person in question that you're
being broken up with. I think we play a lot
with it being like non human things like depression, anxiety,
like just dealing with stress in your life, or even
like a relationship with a parent or a friend. I
(03:09):
think that there's so many different ways that you can
feel grief in a relationship than a breakup. And I
think that's kind of like where we all have our
own meanings that we attached to the songs. I think
let's talk about those meanings.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
It's to them a little more. So you all went
to school together, right? But did are y'all all from
southern California?
Speaker 1 (03:32):
No?
Speaker 2 (03:32):
I grew up in Michigan.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Okay, Okay, I was born in upstate New York, but
mostly from here.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Okay, So y'all met at school though, Yeah, So as
a musician, I know nothing about that couldn't be further
from my life. You go into school wanting to be
a singer, right, do you ever have this dream of
it being with other people or do you go thinking
I'm gonna be a solo artist. That's what I thought.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Yeah, I definitely never imagined myself in a band with
like multiple singers.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Yeah at all.
Speaker 5 (04:04):
Same, Yeah, I didn't even know what I wanted to
be going there. It was more kind of for me
it was like, oh, I I'll try this, and then
going there was like the Yeah, I realized that I
wanted to do that then and then we all met
and then the rest is history.
Speaker 6 (04:20):
Yeah, I think I always like, I've always enjoyed playing
with other people, but yeah, I definitely didn't see myself
like being in a band with two other singers. But then, honestly,
it's funny looking back, I like really grew up listening
to a lot of like Peter Paul, Mary from my.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Mom and dad.
Speaker 6 (04:35):
Yeah, and I was like, oh, that makes sense, Like
maybe the idea was like planted in me very young.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Yeah. Georgia and I both grew up doing like musical
theater and acappella. Yeah, so I feel like harmony was
in our lives a lot too.
Speaker 5 (04:48):
Yeah, and already like a lot of collaboration.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Yeah, like team vibe.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
That's the thing I feel like when you're in a group,
like when you're when you're solo, every decision is your own.
When you're a group, every decision is a group. So
there's pros and cons. Definitely, how did I learn to
like work together and like who gets the final say?
Speaker 1 (05:07):
I think we learned by failing a lot about that,
you know, like learned from our mistakes with it, and
we really try to have I mean it depends on
how important the decision is. Sometimes it is like it
needs to be a unanimous decision if it's really big,
and then other times it depends on who feels really
strongly about what we're talking about. And I think, yeah,
(05:29):
we it's I don't know, like case by case basis
of how we make decisions.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
I think it's definitely.
Speaker 6 (05:38):
It's definitely like I had something in my head and
then I just completely forgot.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
It's like a team effort. I mean, like you're joining
a team and it's like everyone's opinion is important and
we have to at least come to some agreement on
this because when I listened to the album, bad Blood
is like the obvious start of the app Like, I'm like,
did they write this ago? This has to start the
album because as soon as this is it, here we go,
(06:04):
We're going on a ride.
Speaker 5 (06:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
It feels like such an opener. It like it did
yeah pretty early on.
Speaker 6 (06:13):
It's so funny too, because I think that was like
one of the first songs that we wrote for the
album yea, And it just so happened that, like on
the writing trip where we wrote most of these songs,
that was the first one, and then we had done
like the NPR live sessions on YouTube, and then it
came out and I think that just naturally kind of
like wanted to be yeah, the first song.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
But I feel like we skipped a whole step because
it was like, Okay, you guys went to school together
and then we're talking about the album, but like, how
did you guys form your formed three of you?
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Like, how did that process go? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (06:45):
Well, we all did, I think after college, so we met,
we started singing together. Laura and I had a songwriting class.
We just quickly started to write together. We had like
a writing connection. We wrote this song and then we
they met in their dorm and then we were all
on the same program also, so we immediately I remember
(07:06):
the first time I heard both of them like do
their thing, and I was like, oh, so blowing away.
So we all have just so much respect for each
other as people, as performers and writers arrangers. And then
we had the song called Dory Meat, which is out.
It's the first song that we ever wrote together, and
(07:27):
Quinn came and we sang it together just like tapping
our legs for our songwriting class in school. And then
just the reaction of the class was like way, it
was just really surprising to us all. It was like
a really.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Really loving, positive reaction.
Speaker 5 (07:41):
And then we're like, Okay, I guess there's something here.
And then we kept writing and singing together throughout college.
We had a lot of support from our professors, which
I think also kept us going. And then after school
we all did different things for a bit. We all
like I did a solo priet for a while, Quinn
worked on a cruise ship, Lauren worked on her solo project,
(08:05):
and then we came together we started writing together again,
and then it just it naturally. Then COVID happened and
we started to record and Lauren got really into production,
and that's kind of how we entered into like officially
doing Truesdale. And then after that did well, we all
kind of committed to doing it full time.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Yeah, you know, and where did the name? That was
my question?
Speaker 6 (08:29):
Oh yeah, so it comes from the name of a
street that runs through campus of our university, yone Parkway.
We were sitting on the lawn trying to think of names.
We were very concerned about it being a name that
like no one else had, so we would just think
of a name and then type it into a Spotify.
Now we can't use that one. Type it in if
(08:50):
we can't use that one. And then we looked up
and saw the sign like what about Truesdale.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Which is funny because there are the Truesdale estates which
are like well known as like rich.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Buildings and states.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
I don't know, and so I think that one slipped
through the crash.
Speaker 6 (09:07):
Were finally committed a few times, but it just like,
I don't know, nothing else ever felt right.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Yeah. Our second choice was the Sorrow Sisters, the.
Speaker 6 (09:16):
Sisters, and then we had Carolina Blue Carolina, which is
like both of those are alter egos at this point exactly.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
So what we're so the ones that you looked up,
the ones that you looked up on Spotify, what were
some of those that you were like, Oh, it's already taken.
Oh my gosh, my.
Speaker 6 (09:36):
Gosh, wow, I'm sure I could we have a nook.
I have no idea.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Though, that'd be really funny.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Yeah, the Destiny's Chops.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
What does Truesdale mean to you?
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Guys? Like the name?
Speaker 7 (09:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Well, I feel like the.
Speaker 5 (09:56):
Feeling of it, at least to me, and part of
why we've stuck with it is because it kind of
feels genrealless, like when you see the name where when
you hear it, it's like Truesdale. It could be full,
it could be rock. Yeah, it feels pretty broad and
it's like a statement. There's no the We also thought
about that just.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
A word, yeah, and to not like associate it with
like where three women or a trio or sisters in
some way of like we're just a band.
Speaker 7 (10:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
I think that that also is important. I feel like
none of us like loved the name, but then we
were like, oh, but like think about the Beatles, they're
like bugs and you don't but you don't associate it
with that at all. These associated with the music, so
like eventually the name won't sound like anything but what
people think of with their music.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Yeah, that's what it was.
Speaker 6 (10:46):
Your question was so interesting because I was like, whoa,
I've never even really thought of that before.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
But you know, I go subterranean.
Speaker 6 (10:52):
Yeah, I feel like, you know, even though the name
comes from USC, I feel like it really when I
hear the word Trusdale now, I just think of everything
that we've built and like everything it means to us
now way more than our where we went to school.
Speaker 5 (11:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
I think we've really just grown to like make it
our own, right, total, Yeah, your own meaning. Yeah, I
mean that's You're so right. When I hear the Beatles,
I don't. I was like, oh that is a bug. Yeah, yeah,
you just don't. We're like the police. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (11:25):
Yeah, that's a bit of an odd one, but yeah
it rocks.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Yeah. You know, so you all have designated colors. How
did that was that? Did it? Was it like you
just kept showing up in the same color and were like,
should this be our thing? Or what was that intentional?
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (11:40):
I feel like we I like never wore green before this.
And Georgia. I feel like you didn't really wear paying No,
don't you wear too much.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
But we decided we started getting more colorful before we
started releasing music, and one of our friends reckoned that
we go to this place called Big Bud Press that
has these incredible jumpsuits, and so we started trying on
different colors and combinations and we just landed on these,
and then people started associating us, like with the colors.
(12:14):
I feel like after that of like the pink one, yeah,
the blue one. So then which kind of stuck with it? Yeah,
accepted our fate so fun.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
You're like, have you heard of the color analysis?
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (12:24):
You're like, I hope this is my color. Really I
don't think so. I feel like it is.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
Analysis.
Speaker 5 (12:33):
It's like where they's they you know, like your tone, Yeah,
are you a winter yeah?
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Summer? Yeah. But I was thinking, I mean, you'll all
your color compliments you So it was like, did y'all
do a full test? And like.
Speaker 5 (12:49):
We should have when we tried the jumpsuits on. Part
of the reason that we picked them was because we
looked at that we tried so many on we had
maroon like whatever. Yeah, and then when we looked in
the mirrors, in the mirrors, in the singular mirror, it
was a really cool mirror. We stood and we're like
something about them.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Just it worked.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Probably because it's the same colors as the power puff probably, yeah,
but we didn't think about afterthought.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
In the moment. Again, Yeah, in hindsty, it's all yeah,
I like it. I do want to do It's nostalgic.
I do feel like you are in an industry that
is naturally harder for women. Have you all experienced that
being a band, a trio of women and you do,
you produce, you write, you do everything for your music.
(13:33):
Have you found that to be a challenge? Definitely?
Speaker 1 (13:36):
I think I think we experience it all the time,
and we talk about it, like on stage and between
the three of us. I think, I think there's so
many levels of it, and I don't think we have
the worst of it at all. But I think, as
like women that are producing ourselves, I think we run
in I mean in small ways of just like the
assumption that we didn't produce our music, and like when
(13:56):
people are like who produced it for you? And uh,
when we go on tour, like walking into venues, I
feel like the people that are running the venues, like
their first assumption is we don't know what we're doing.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
But I love that. I get super stoked when that happens.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
I do.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
I think we're good, so they're always regretting it later.
Speaker 5 (14:17):
Yeah, we kind of like prove it to the people
have to reperform. Yeah, but yeah, it's a weird industry,
like to I think for anyone, it's just a confusing
and not very explanatory industry. You can't go into it
and like know what's going to happen no matter what.
But also being a woman does put you at like
(14:38):
a little bit of a disadvantage in terms of feeling
like you have to prove more to people, especially because
it's so heavily male, I think especially in the production
part and in certain songwriting sessions. You know, sometimes we're
lucky because we have three people so we're supporting each other.
But if I was alone, I'm sure there'd be certain
(14:59):
situations that we been in where I would be so uncomfortable.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
That's so true.
Speaker 6 (15:03):
I've never I've never thought of that before, Like that's
it really is. Having there be three of us, we're
usually outnumbering whoever we're working and so even just that
fact alone, I think it makes us a little bit
more intimidating, which I honestly like I feel for sometimes
when we're working with someone for the first time, I'm like,
we're a lot of energy, like all in one room
(15:24):
together at the same time. But yeah, it can it
can be tough to to feel heard in a way
that is genuine and not like you're trying to control
the situation, like being a leader in for a woman
in any scenario.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
And it's the same with music.
Speaker 6 (15:43):
You are at risk of being called, oh like controlling,
and so I think that's that's definitely something. It's just
it's just hard to advocate for yourself and what you
want because a lot of time times you know you.
Speaker 5 (16:02):
Don't want to keep their stereotype. Yeah, well, be grateful
for what you have, like.
Speaker 6 (16:08):
And and even like oh no, I want to even
like with members of your team sometimes of like oh no,
I want to produce this song. I think this could
have a good vision, and then they could potentially come
back and say, oh, well, like you should be flexible
and like maybe try to work with some other producers
and like, have you checked out this list of people
that I think you could be cool to work with
(16:29):
and like some it's a it's a tough balance because
it's all it's all yes, and you know, like working
with other people is great.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
You learn so many new things.
Speaker 6 (16:38):
You can grow yourself as a producer, as a collaborator
doing those opportunities. But there really is something to be
said for like taking the time and just learning how
to do it yourself. And I think women, especially in
product music production, women are not given that time or
are not encouraged to go explore what that's like, what
(17:00):
their sound is like, because they're so often put in
a room with someone that's just more experienced or like
can do it faster. Yeah, And then even when you
do co produce, like we're running into this even now
with some new music that we've been working on of
like we're so like we do so much for our
project and we're spread so thin, and we're trying to
(17:21):
find more ways to like be have like a healthy
environment and like really be able to tackle all the work.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
That we need to.
Speaker 6 (17:29):
And so we're working with a co producer on this
next batch of songs, and there's you're always running the
risk of, like someone saying, even though we're listed as
a producer, like, oh, well, they're just the artist.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
They just got a production credit because like they're.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
The arta, like they wanted the credit, so they just
like changed a word or something.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Totally, yeah, totally.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
It is interesting. Like when I think about this industry
in particular, it is like very it's like men helping men.
It's like it's like in their nature.
Speaker 5 (18:14):
Do you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (18:15):
It's like, yes, that's just how.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
It is, and like men also are not like I
feel like sometimes as women, we do tend to be
feel like we can't speak or share as much as
we want, and other men like just ask for what
they want and demand it, and it's like it's so
hard for us to do it.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
It's so interesting.
Speaker 5 (18:32):
I have truly noticed that when I am saying an idea,
specifically in the production area of our job, I have
tried to say it with a lower tone so that
it's listened to more like when we're working with men,
because something about being like oh my god, this people's
not a.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Scientific evidence to back that up that people respond more
to like a lower voice.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Well, I can't think of her name right now, but
she dressed like Steve Jobs and.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
No, no, not most Elizabeth the Holmes homes.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Homes Liz Holmes, and she was trying to come up
that's what she.
Speaker 5 (19:16):
Friend.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
She changed her voice and went like a way deeper tone,
and they did like a whole documentary on it, and
they were like, because she she knew she'd be respected
more like if she sounded for whatever reason, yes, it
sounded better to men if she's hot in a lower tone.
It's crazy.
Speaker 5 (19:35):
I feel like the main challenge is personally, you know,
it's within yourself for me to be like, Okay, I
have ideas I should be listened to just as much
as anybody, and not getting in my own head of
being like, oh, yeah, that's actually a better idea, yeah,
just because I don't know.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Why wait gold on, yeah, confident regardless of like if
this idea is perfect and well formed, and just throwing
things out there and like letting them be imperfect. And
I think that it's really that's something that I've had
to come to terms with and like work through of
(20:13):
having so many ideas in my head and not saying
them out loud because I'm afraid that they're not good enough.
And then you just you get so much farther when
you just put things out there because.
Speaker 5 (20:22):
It's like, oh, this might be a terrible idea, but
maybe it'll get some cooking.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Yeah, totally. That's My girlfriend's an artist, she's a musician,
and she always says, you know, she'll she's like, I
just want to all like women team yeah, And I'm like,
she's like, I want a woman producer. I'm like, get
a woman producer. She's like, you don't understand how hard
it is a male dominated in space like that. It's
(20:46):
just like if if you have an idea effect yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
Like it's like if you work for like whatever, let's
say this label, and then they have their like producer
that they always like work with or you know, that's
that's the guy. Everyone has their guy.
Speaker 7 (21:00):
Know.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 6 (21:01):
I think about this all the time too, Like I
feel like we're in this time right now where like
producers have like such a sound to them, and then
I think people like seek out whatever that sound is,
but they're forgetting that like the artist is half of
that sound, if not more a lot of time and
so people want to work with Jack Antonoff. They want
(21:22):
to work with like all these different producers like Ethan
groscar A people that have produced these records that they
really love because like, oh I want that sound, but
really sometimes the sound that they're chasing is just the artist.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
Yeah, and then.
Speaker 6 (21:36):
I think, I mean, I honestly feel bad for those
producers too, because then it boxes them in creatively to
like the kind of music that their clients are coming
to them for, because like you know, people come to
Ethan Gresca and they're like, oh, we play like rubber
bridge guitar, like that'll sound really cool on this record,
and it's like, now Ethan grosk is like, god, I'm
sure he's like I.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Never want to buy another guitar in a song ever again.
Speaker 6 (21:59):
But yeah, it's really it's really interesting. It is like
a cycle just feeds into itself.
Speaker 4 (22:04):
That's something you guys have talked about your shows that
really affected me. Was hearing like because like everyone knows
Jackie enough, everyone knows like write and tender like people
like that. But like I would say, I couldn't think
of a single female producer, you know, like like Julian Michaels.
Maybe I don't know. Yeah, you know, like and you
guys that your shows always talk about like if there's
no way. You know, you want to be the person
(22:25):
that does something, so then someone who like it looks
like your sounds like you, or is like you, like, oh,
I can do that now, And I don't know. I
just I'm so inspired about what you're doing because it's
it's it's an incredible thing. I think about all the
like girls out in the audience at your shows that
are seeing you guys perform, and like you're producing earlier
on something. Oh I could do something like that.
Speaker 7 (22:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Wow, I love that.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
I feel like that's like our main goal in talking
about that stuff and doing it ourselves. I think like
sometimes it feels like it would be easier and we're
trying to find ways to collaborate while still maintaining like
musical integrity and control over our masters and like the
(23:04):
rights to our music and stuff.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
But yeah, I feel like that's it's so.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Important to know that maybe we could be something that
we didn't see growing up.
Speaker 5 (23:14):
Yeah, And I feel like knowing that us saying that
our shows does inspire people inspires us too, because it
feels like, Okay, we're.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Doing this for a reason. Yeah, because it's.
Speaker 5 (23:28):
Hard still to find it within every day. Yeah, every
day you gotta fight the good fight. Yeah, you're writing
a song a kind of good fight.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
All the time.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
I know it's a little off topic, but are you
Are you all cycle SYNCD?
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Like, I feel like we go in and out.
Speaker 6 (23:54):
You have a really long we all have very different
different situations.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Okay, sometimes we are.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
I feel like when we're on tour, it happens. I
have the implant in my arm, so I just got
off of a literal month long period, so that definitely.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
Messes it up. But when we're all together all the time.
Speaker 5 (24:13):
Yeah, I feel like, yeah, yeah, I would say so.
Usually you'll be like, oh, I think I'm gonna get
your hair.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
And I'm like, oh, Tanya with a hard hitting question.
I was curious about when y'all go So, y'all are
about to go on tour, right, yes? In June? Yeah,
in June.
Speaker 5 (24:29):
Well, I just like we are.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
I was like, did I get the wrong information? Day
by day?
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Living life to the fullest. So when y'all go on tour?
What what? How are y'all traveling? How will you be traveling?
Speaker 5 (24:45):
Sprinter?
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Okay, sprinter van? Yes? Do you do you like that?
Because my girlfriend she did Sprinter and then she did
tour bus, and she was like, I liked the Sprinter
because we got to go to a hotel and sleep
in a bed. That's a really nice part of it. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (24:59):
Sure, the long drives in the Sprinter are you know,
not amazing, But I think we're all just so broke
that you know, it's better than minivan.
Speaker 6 (25:09):
Yeah, it's way better than man. Yeah, I feel like, honestly,
it all depends on the routing. Because if you're like
we last year we opened for Corey Wong and we
were following, they were all in a tour bus, and
so our.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
That tour was routed for a tour.
Speaker 6 (25:25):
Bus, and so it'd be like the kind of thing
where you're playing a show in Chicago and then the
next night you're you're having to go all the way
to like I don't know, Nashville or something in one day.
And and so then we like they're they could just
like load out at the end of the night, yeah,
and then sleep and they just get driven to Nashville,
(25:46):
versus us we're like driving two hours after the show,
going to bed, waking up at eight, trying to drive
the rest of the way so that we get there
in time. So it really just depends on like how
the shows are booked.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
And we've never done a tour bus, so we don't
know what that we'll compare. Yeah, I would love that,
but I think it's a sleep is tough with I
sleep really well.
Speaker 6 (26:11):
Actually, then always says the back round of Sprinter, and
it's just fully horizontal the whole time.
Speaker 5 (26:16):
He has a foot rest, it's a blow up footrest rest.
I ask, and yeah, and if you look back, it's
a really fantastic.
Speaker 6 (26:25):
Well and and there's like she has because they're both
quin in order to have beautiful curly hair, and both
very committed to their curly hair regiments.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Because if we don't, it's just a frisbelle. But what
is it you It's called plopping.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Yeah, I PLoP my hair and a T shirt like
when it's wet, and then I tie it.
Speaker 6 (26:45):
And then she's usually wearing like a hoodie over that
with the mouth taste and then I'm ass, it's really good.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
Look, you don't even recognize I could sleep so nows.
When we get to the venue, people are like, yeah,
we're not looking so great. I mean me, you know,
I started to do the regimen.
Speaker 6 (27:09):
I'm so used to seeing you like that when like
one of my eyes was like shut most of the time.
Speaker 5 (27:15):
The green makeup is like running died.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
I feel like music. I feel like artists and musicians
are insane. Like there's a part of me that thinks
y'all are crazy. I tell my grandmamas all the time.
I'm like, I think people like you are crazy because
what drives you to to live this lifestyle? I'm serious,
like what is it? Because I don't I don't have it,
so I don't get it. I feel like they trick you.
Speaker 6 (27:39):
You know, you grow up being like I want to
sing songs for a living, and like write songs.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
That'll be easy. I'm on a stage, like yay.
Speaker 6 (27:48):
And then you pursue that and you're like this is
so fun, and then you like you, you know, you
actually start to have to do it where you're like, Okay,
now you have to like open up an LLC to
keep track of your finances, and now you like doing
that all the time, And then you have to pay
your taxes, and then you have to get a manager,
and then you get a lawyer and an agent, and
then you have to go on tour, and then you're
(28:08):
doing all this stuff in a sprinter van and like
immediately disgusting venues and green rooms sometimes and then all
of a sudden you look at your life and you're.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
Like, wow, this is what I didn't know. This is
what I was signing up for, what dreams were made of. Yeah,
it's so true. I don't know.
Speaker 6 (28:24):
I feel like it gives musicians like a thicker skin
where you're kind of like.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
There's something like you're doing what you love exactly. Like
that's the thing I think at the end of the
day too, It's like.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
It's it.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
It's something that's in you, you know what I mean,
Like like you were saying, like I could, I could never,
Like I am such a creature of habit. I to
like in bed by nine pm, lights out by nine
p fifteen, like I need to have you know, love
Islander Traders on the TV, and you know, like I
see creature of habit.
Speaker 5 (28:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
So for me, like living in a sprinter and being
in a different city every day, like that would just
make me so anxious, Whereas I feel like if you
live my life, you would be so anxious.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
She'd be like, get me out of this.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
Like, yeah, I feel like of all of the musicians
that are like living that tour life. We definitely are
more homebodies, and we don't go crazy when we're touring,
Like we go to bed as early as we possibly can.
We're not like partying out late. I think we all
love the travel aspect of it, but it is an
(29:24):
interesting like balance of we're not I don't think we
would have ever like roughed it, like a lot of
people will get into like the minivan and do it
all themselves and sleep on couches and like, you know,
do whatever it takes. I feel like we were never
willing to do that until we had like some foundation
yeah to like actually go on a more comfortable tour.
(29:47):
But it is interesting. I feel like I love coming
home after a tour and like being home and doing
my own routine and being by myself. But there's something
about the live performance, and I think there's like validation
that you get, like when you're on stage and stuff,
the connection that you get with people, and then also
like hearing people sing our lyrics back, or like hearing
(30:09):
how people were affected by our music or by our performance,
like that's worth any discomfort or like lack of sleep
or routine.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
I feel like it's amazing.
Speaker 5 (30:19):
Yeah, I feel like the the whole path, the touring
and all the things that are difficult, because yeah, I
feel like I'm also a creature of habit and that
sounds like a great night to me.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
Yeah, but I think like the whole side, yeah, but I.
Speaker 5 (30:33):
Feel like the overall thing that yeah, makes us crazy
is like for me, I just feel like I have
something to say, and we all have something to say,
and we can like we have you know, these tools,
and we have music and it feels important and I
feel like that's what drives us to do the whole thing.
(30:54):
And then when it comes to the specifics and the touring,
to me, the stage is like just the most I
feel the most myself when I'm on the stage, and
I feel like so excited to It's just it's like, oh,
it's like a job that I just love. And then
all the other stuff is really hard, just like anything,
you know.
Speaker 6 (31:14):
I feel like there is a little bit of this
myth that like musicians like tend to be like all
this one kind of like go like I want to
just be traveling seeing the world all the time, but
like touring is so like in reality, like touring is
so bad for you, Like it's so.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
Bad for your health.
Speaker 6 (31:32):
And luckily there's like a lot more resources now, Like
what's the one that we always see that has the
like the plug logo, It's like beat.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
I just was learning about it.
Speaker 6 (31:46):
It's like a mental health resources. Oh, Backstage. It's called Backstage.
It's like this company they have like in green rooms
like this, you know, like an info sheet of like
how they can get help to find therapists and you
know if they're like over saying like they can you know,
find the resources to help deal with that emergency care
(32:06):
and such. But like then that, I think there's music Cares,
which is like also a really great thing. But I
think it's we're entering into a new time. I think
where like the rock and roll lifestyles changing of like
maybe it's not super fun to go out and like drink,
not sleep.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
And then do it again the next day every months.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
But I can see why people did Slash do that
with the lifestyle that it is exhausting.
Speaker 5 (32:34):
It is because you like literally like you have to pain, Yeah,
you have to put on a great show or like
you could have had like no sleep the night before
and then you have the biggest show of your life
the next day and to do this really well, I'm going.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
To do drugs right, ye see.
Speaker 6 (32:49):
And I feel like now it's the way that I
look at it more now is like I'm being when
I'm on the road, I'm being an athlete, because it
really is about just like, Okay, how do I take
care of my body in the way that is going
to get me to the stage tomorrow and the next
day and the day after.
Speaker 5 (33:04):
That, which is kind of freeing when you only have
one thing to focus on. We kind of say like
touring is nice because it's just one hat every day.
The job is the show, that's it. But when we're
back home, it's like, yeah, how many things can I
do in one day?
Speaker 7 (33:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (33:36):
Are any of you in relationships? Yeah? All three of us. Okay,
have have y'all toured while being in a relationship? Yeah.
We have a very interesting setup.
Speaker 1 (33:48):
So my boyfriend, Carter is our drummer, so he goes
on ideal situations, Yeah, very much.
Speaker 6 (33:56):
And then my boyfriend is our mixing engineer slash occasional
bass player, so he's been on the road with us
a few times, but okay, for the most he's he
stays at home.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
And so he won't be going on tour. Mm, he'll
be at Bonn with us, which will be very cool.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
But other than that, he's like, I'll come to brow
yeah exactly when we have more money, will take them
all the time.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
It's like we can't afford to have enough. Yeah, yeah,
I know, but.
Speaker 5 (34:25):
Oh yeah, my girlfriend is non a musician, but I
love her.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
Does she come to visit? Okay? This makes me feel
seen because you're on the other side of this relationship.
I have a very hard time when my girlfriend. God,
so does my girlfriend. And I think there's something when
it's two women that makes it extra emotional. And I
was laughing thinking about you being like we have to
get on stage and like, no matter what's happened in
(34:51):
her life, like that's a focus, and I would be
like just causing drama, Like I literally have to go perform. Yeah,
I have to go entertain these people and like give
a show. And I'm like, fine, give to them, take
away from me. It's hard. It's hard to balance.
Speaker 5 (35:11):
That's fair, Like, you know, you have needs on the
other side, and it's also really hard for somebody who
isn't touring to like understand the lifestyle. It's just both
are true and it's tough. Thank god for FaceTime. And
you know what, she if we going, really, we've only
done like month long tours so far, so if we did,
I don't know if your girlfriend is like super long tours.
Speaker 2 (35:33):
She yeah, a couple of months. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (35:35):
I feel like once it passes the one month, she's
definitely gonna be visiting me.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
You know, figured it out two weeks starting fights hours
and she's like, okay, yeah that did happen, but I
try to make it to two weeks. Yeah, it's I
mean came and saw us last time. I mean we
it was it was a wild day for her to come.
Speaker 5 (35:57):
Yeah, she's from Canada, Okay, yeah, and we were in Vancouver,
but we had a crazy day right before that ship anyway,
was this the merch situation?
Speaker 2 (36:07):
Yeah? Okay, can you tell people because this wasn't our
prep and I'm like, this is a crazy story. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (36:11):
Our main you know, takeaway point is, you know, when
you're crossing into Canada, you know, just careful, make sure
you know that you have a carne and no one will.
Speaker 2 (36:24):
Tell you what that is, but make sure you have it.
It's a special document, a.
Speaker 5 (36:27):
Special document and you know, don't have other things you got.
Speaker 1 (36:35):
They're really they're just so strict. And we've never had
an issue at the border before. But because we didn't
have like all the proper documents among other things, like
we got pulled over and we got held there for
like most of the night, and we had left from
a show in Seattle. So we're like, we're just going
to get in, you know, a little late, but like
it'll be better to be there that night. And we
(36:57):
were there until like four thirty in the morning, and
like I had to walk back to the US like
side of my slippers, like begging these people to like
help us, and they gave us a different form, but yeah,
they were harsh. So we got to our airbnb at
like six thirty, and we didn't have everyone on our
crew left.
Speaker 2 (37:16):
There were well why did they stop you?
Speaker 1 (37:19):
They stopped us because we didn't have the documents that
we were in like the right order. And like sometimes
it just depends on what kind of person you get.
Speaker 5 (37:26):
We got a bad like not a bad but just
like we got somebody who really was strict, and so
then we yeah, we had to pull into the thing
and then they we got all these things seized. We
couldn't bring the merch across. Part of that was because
of the carne. And so then once we got through
to Canada, we went to a Salvation Army and just
purchased like a bunch of just shirts in our colors
(37:47):
and just wrote yeah with.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
Lyrics and stuff. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
Like our van got taken like they towed it with
They started towing because they someone had asked one of
the band members if there had been any drinking that night,
which was like, we had no one was drunk and
it was hours after the show, but we had had drinks.
And so then they were like, then all of you
are unfit to drive, and they while we were trying
(38:11):
to get the other paperwork with all of our stuff
in the van, they just started towing it and the like,
and we're like, I'm re entering the US like at
the same time trying to get these papers.
Speaker 5 (38:24):
The phones are all on one percent because we weren't
expecting to be and the you know, they.
Speaker 2 (38:28):
Weren't letting us like get up from the seats. It
was crazy.
Speaker 5 (38:31):
More all of the story, if you're crossing into Canada,
have a carne and maybe don't go in like overnight. Yeah,
because maybe those those people are a little bit more
looking for a show.
Speaker 2 (38:39):
Yeah, they were.
Speaker 6 (38:40):
You just want to you just want to follow all
the rules to the tea because if you give them
any reason to flag you, like even a little bit,
then they just that's all the reason they need to
just make your life a living hell.
Speaker 2 (38:51):
So that was the the sounn. Their girlfriend came.
Speaker 5 (38:54):
So then we got back to the airbnb at six
am and I was texting her with my one percent phone.
I was like, I think I think we're gonna you know,
she was trying to track in my location and then
she was there waiting when we got there.
Speaker 2 (39:06):
We got there at like six am.
Speaker 5 (39:07):
She was like, hey, gosh, yeah yeah, yeah, she was
the vibes.
Speaker 2 (39:17):
You were like, I need to just be Yeah.
Speaker 5 (39:19):
But the next day I met her whole family like
the first time for the first time, you know, at
the show when it was just such a nightmare show too,
and her family was so sweet.
Speaker 2 (39:29):
So it was like the best.
Speaker 5 (39:30):
Possible situation that could have But it was a wild
But we love Canada. Yes, the situation at the border
back to Vancouver has nothing to do with our love
for Canada.
Speaker 2 (39:40):
Yeah, no, no, no, that's a legalistic thing.
Speaker 3 (39:43):
Yes, speaking of Canada, I have to pivot to Love Island. Yeah,
I was like, pivot, George. I know that you are
obsessed and I I too am obsessed.
Speaker 2 (39:57):
I know she didn't act obsessed with every you didn't act.
Speaker 5 (40:00):
I thought because I was worried that I wasn't gonna,
you know, be that I was gonna be tested on.
Speaker 2 (40:04):
The logistics of the characters or something. No test.
Speaker 3 (40:07):
But I would like to know what your favorite season
is of Love Island UK.
Speaker 5 (40:10):
Okay. I like the one with Page okay, and really
I think so I loved them.
Speaker 2 (40:17):
That was recent.
Speaker 3 (40:18):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 5 (40:20):
Think that was my favorite.
Speaker 3 (40:21):
Was the winners spoiler alert, David Day and Eke and Sue.
Yeah yeah, I believe they won.
Speaker 1 (40:28):
I know.
Speaker 2 (40:28):
I was a little shocked by that to I liked
that and Sue though, Oh yeah, that was great. I
love that show. Yeah, what's your favorite season?
Speaker 3 (40:38):
It's tough, it's tough, it's tough. It's I love season five.
I love Season seven.
Speaker 2 (40:45):
I really.
Speaker 3 (40:47):
The only one I haven't loved is like the first
two seasons. After that, it's like they just get better
and better and better.
Speaker 5 (40:52):
The only thing about the first two seasons that I
did like is that they were smoking cigarettes and it
looked totally like kind of nice.
Speaker 3 (40:56):
To me so much, like how much can these people smoke?
Speaker 2 (40:59):
Yeah, they're just in their bathing suits the whole time.
Speaker 3 (41:02):
But I think they put a band to it because
now they don't smoke at all.
Speaker 2 (41:05):
There's like no smoking allowed at all.
Speaker 5 (41:07):
Do you like it when they meet the families? Does
it stress you out?
Speaker 2 (41:10):
And I don't need that?
Speaker 1 (41:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (41:11):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (41:12):
I kind of start to fast forward when reality shows
make you meet the fa so like it's like you can.
Speaker 3 (41:18):
Tell some families like really don't want to be there, Yeah,
they don't want to be.
Speaker 2 (41:25):
Like and then some of them like loving or thriving.
Speaker 3 (41:28):
I feel back for the ones that like don't.
Speaker 5 (41:30):
I feel bad for some of the families are like
so supportive and they're so close, And then you can
tell that some people aren't super close to their families,
but they're just forced to come together and like maybe
seen each other in years or something.
Speaker 2 (41:41):
Isn't there a lesbian relationship in a recent season two
girls are dating or something? Who is it? See that
she was just in that was us?
Speaker 5 (41:50):
Oh, video pretty sexy.
Speaker 3 (41:55):
I don't mess with the US.
Speaker 2 (41:57):
I don't mess with either, so I just see what
I see on tickto a.
Speaker 5 (42:00):
Kind of it's interesting to like girls and to watch
Love Island. It's quite a street show, but something about it.
Speaker 3 (42:07):
I just had some I know, it's so wholesome elevision.
Speaker 5 (42:14):
Yeah, I feel like I've gotten through breakups because of
that show.
Speaker 3 (42:18):
It's a good It's never ending. It's like a new
episode every day. There's like sixty five episodes like the
Gift that keeps on giving.
Speaker 2 (42:24):
So true, Oh so good. It feels good. Thank you
so much. Thank you for indulging me. Thank you. I
appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (42:32):
I needed that.
Speaker 2 (42:33):
Who are y'all's musical inspiration?
Speaker 4 (42:35):
Like?
Speaker 2 (42:35):
Who who do you look to? When you're like if
I could have something similar to that style or career,
who is it for you? It's hard? That is really tough.
Speaker 6 (42:46):
I feel like it's changed to now like being a
band and like now really looking up to certain bands.
Speaker 2 (42:53):
I mean there's like.
Speaker 6 (42:55):
The Beatles, obviously, like George and I used to joke
around in college being like we could be like we
could be like you know, Lennon and.
Speaker 2 (43:02):
McCartney, like Green and Jones. Wow, that would be so
cool that just have a ring to it. I don't
have to kick me out.
Speaker 6 (43:11):
But but yeah, I mean I would say Fleetwood, Mac,
the Eagles, like CSN, those are all like my dream
for my dream bands. For Trusdale, I think of just
being like that legacy act of just like.
Speaker 2 (43:29):
Music is so important to us.
Speaker 6 (43:31):
And I would say it's like our mental health comes first,
and then our friendships come second, and then the band
comes third. And I think as long as those things
remain the same, I think we have like such a
beautiful future of just like a great long life doing
music together, which I think we're all very excited about
(43:52):
and love to foster that because that's why all those
bands did. I think they just like really stuck with
it and yeah, created this thing that you could really
just chew on for and sit on for a while,
which I think we all really appreciate that in an artist.
Speaker 5 (44:10):
Yeah, I feel like You two also is a good
example of a band that's just like still rockings, but
like also on a smaller scale, Big Thief, I feel,
just in terms of the trajectory that they continue to
put out albums, but also like Adrian Linker, puts out
albums and it just seems like they have like a
really healthy relationship to the band, you know, like Thief.
Speaker 1 (44:33):
No, I'm talking about the no Oh Okay, you might
recognize some of their songs.
Speaker 2 (44:39):
She has like a really recognizable voice.
Speaker 5 (44:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (44:42):
I feel like.
Speaker 5 (44:44):
Really really just beautiful songwriting, so many records and then
in terms of like just doing it, not in terms
of like at the scale for the rest of our lives,
but like Taylor Swift is a good example of just
so many eras. Yeah, and she just keeps like growing
and changing and like doing her thing. I think, I
don't know if we want to be doing like arena
(45:06):
tours like by the time, you know, in terms like
I think maybe we'll want to just have kids at
some point and like also do it, you know, but
having like a trajectory that just.
Speaker 3 (45:18):
Keeps changing, evolving, growing.
Speaker 1 (45:20):
I feel like Brandy Carlisle is a person in terms
of her career, Like it took her a really long
time to get where she is, and I feel like
she wasn't super well known even when she was objectively
like doing really well. But she's like so herself and
her music is so good, and I feel like She's
built this community also of like artists around her.
Speaker 2 (45:44):
Feels like a little exclusive.
Speaker 1 (45:46):
I'd love to be a part of it someday, but
it's I think she also is such a great artist
that we look up to, and just like the the
integrity of the music.
Speaker 2 (45:57):
I feel like she's like really about that. When I
saw that she doesn't use uh is it in ears?
I'm like, that is crazy. I know I would never
just for like going death, but I know respect. Yeah,
I guess it's crazy. You're like, good luck with your health.
Speaker 1 (46:14):
Like I like the idea of she they're not going
to like a metronome or a click and like they're
just feeling.
Speaker 5 (46:21):
She wears ear plugs, I hope, so you know, tried
to look at her ear holes like when we've seen
her on like big screens.
Speaker 2 (46:28):
I don't know, I don't see. That's scary to me
because that is, Yeah, it feels dangerous. It's loud. Wow,
like that her band do they go crazy? So I
don't know. You brought up Taylor Switch and the song
(46:57):
movie Star makes me think of debut Taylor God. I
love it. It's so romantic and feels so like when
you fall, like you're you know, falling love and everything
feels like a movie. Like if you can make everything
feel like a movie, I love that.
Speaker 1 (47:13):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (47:17):
If you go see you Tuesday Live, they bring someone
up on stage and put them in a stool and
like sing to them as if they're the movie star.
And two shows on the tour and both.
Speaker 2 (47:33):
Yah wants to be is it?
Speaker 6 (47:35):
Is it?
Speaker 3 (47:36):
Usually guy or girl doesn't matter, different different every city
we take turns picking yeah, because.
Speaker 2 (47:40):
It's really stressful.
Speaker 1 (47:41):
Yeah, I don't want to make anyone feel bad or
accidentally pick someone that's like.
Speaker 2 (47:46):
Wasted or like someone that actually is being forced to
do it. But we didn't realize something, Yeah, be a
hit or miss sometimes. When I saw a video of
y'all and it was the power something went out in Seattle,
I think, and you were like everyone's singing back to you.
I can't imagine what that must feel like. First of all,
I'm so scared of being on a stage in front
of people like that is so scary. But I imagine that
(48:10):
the high and the rush that you get from that,
and then you're watching everyone singing along, but then the
sound goes out and you can hear them. Yeah, what
is that like? It was so crazy.
Speaker 5 (48:20):
Is the coolest thing I think we've experienced to this day.
Speaker 2 (48:23):
Was Yeah, it so crazy.
Speaker 6 (48:25):
It's so funny looking back at it, because we're like, wow,
this literally looks like it was like stage because it
was so perfect, and it was like, I mean, for
us in the moment, we were just like okay, like
cause I feel like when at a certain point, once
you've played as many shows as we have, you start
to learn that anything that can go wrong will ye wrong.
Speaker 2 (48:44):
Yeah, and so.
Speaker 6 (48:45):
We're like, okay, like we all had our in years
in and so for us, all the sound went out
and then we were kind of.
Speaker 2 (48:51):
Like we were still singing or like what do we do?
Like we keep playing?
Speaker 6 (48:55):
And then we realized we took our ears out and
we realized that like everybody was.
Speaker 2 (48:59):
Singing, and then we.
Speaker 6 (49:01):
Were like, oh my god, like this is so cool.
We don't really know what's happening with the sound right now,
but like and then I started walking up to the
front of the stage and just.
Speaker 2 (49:09):
With my like literal acoustics.
Speaker 6 (49:12):
In my guitar was trying to like lead the crowd
in the song, and then Quinn picked up the tambourine.
Speaker 2 (49:18):
Were just jamming.
Speaker 6 (49:20):
George was like screaming so loud, like literally still in
that video, you're like the loudest thing, which.
Speaker 2 (49:25):
Is so impressive. George has to sing so high.
Speaker 5 (49:29):
It was like an endorphin rush.
Speaker 2 (49:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (49:31):
Oh, and then the fact that they kept going because
it was like a pretty long time that the power
was out. Yeah, and they just knew it, and I
feel like we were I just kept going like, actually,
it's all like in the same register.
Speaker 2 (49:49):
Oh my god, I know.
Speaker 1 (49:50):
The sound came back on and were like the perfect
moment and it was so that we couldn't hear it
in our ears because we'd taken them out.
Speaker 2 (49:56):
But then colors started.
Speaker 1 (49:57):
Yeah, and then everyone started screaming, so we were like, oh,
it's in that. We ran back and finished it. It was
so cool. It was so fun and like I think
because there are three of us, it's a little easier,
but something goes wrong to like look at each other
and be like, how are they not? Like yeah, and
we were going to stop, Like there was a moment
where we were kind of like, oh no, and like
then they just kept singing, so we were like.
Speaker 2 (50:17):
And then Lauren walked up.
Speaker 5 (50:19):
There was Yeah, there was like a little front parts
just like walked up and were he had like a
second to just be Okay, yep, we're walking that.
Speaker 2 (50:26):
It was perfect. Honestly, it was so fun. It was
such a rush.
Speaker 6 (50:29):
Yeah, and then that night was the go into Vancouver.
Speaker 2 (50:34):
We were like, honestly, maybe a'll got through that because
of that. Yeah, that you got totally meant to happen.
Speaker 3 (50:44):
Yeah, yeah, and hopefully many more memories like that. Yes,
when you go back out on tour.
Speaker 2 (50:49):
Yes, yeah, totally.
Speaker 7 (50:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (50:51):
I just saw a video of Noah Kan that happened
to him at one of his shows, like the power
went out and he sang a quiet song and I
know that that venue was like massive. I don't know
how people even heard him, but it was so cool.
People loved it. It's just amazing when you do live
music like that and it's really like your own voices
(51:11):
and musicians on stage. I think when things go wrong,
you can still perform, and I think it makes it
that much more beautiful. Of like we could still keep
singing and do stuff because we can hold our own
like in most situations.
Speaker 2 (51:25):
So it was a beautiful thing. I think.
Speaker 6 (51:28):
I think the unrehearsed moments in a live music show
is just like the most beautiful like that for me,
that's what I'm like connected to.
Speaker 2 (51:36):
I'm watching an artist and I'm like.
Speaker 6 (51:37):
Oh, man, like they're just like me, you know, like
they're a person, Like they make mistakes, you know, and
like I feel like that's just such a special thing
because you know that that moment is like just for
You're the only one witnessing that.
Speaker 4 (51:50):
I just want to give a co sign to going
to see them on tour because I went. I was
visiting my parents in Santa Cruz and I saw Juesday
I was gonna be playing at the Catalyst where I
grew up going to music, Like, oh, I can finally
to go see them. I've only seen them for like
a year. I went and we bought tickets to the
LA show. Like before we got back to the car,
I'm like, I have Yeah. Wow, your voices live are
(52:12):
such a powerful experience, so incredible. You cover the chain
by Fleetwood. Mackett's like, which, by the way, are you
going to release that is? Like can you get like
to stream or anything? My wife wanted me to ask
that question.
