Nice and we're here at Download Festival. How does it

00:00:33.039 --> 00:00:35.600
feel to be here? Is it besides hot as hell?

9
00:00:35.880 --> 00:00:39.640
It's just crazy and it's like probably one of the

10
00:00:39.640 --> 00:00:40.799
best festivals I've been to.

11
00:00:40.880 --> 00:00:41.679
I've never been before.

12
00:00:41.719 --> 00:00:44.119
This is my first time really, so I play it

13
00:00:44.159 --> 00:00:45.359
on my first time as well.

14
00:00:45.560 --> 00:00:48.920
Is just yeah, it don't don't feel real, to be honest.

15
00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:50.880
And we're both company as well for the weekend, so

16
00:00:51.079 --> 00:00:52.439
we're getting the full experience.

17
00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:53.359
Nice.

18
00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:58.039
Yeah, the plans overhead at night, the really dirty showers, everything,

19
00:00:58.079 --> 00:00:58.840
it's fantastic.

20
00:01:00.039 --> 00:01:00.240
Yeah.

21
00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:02.119
I like to find out what it's like for an

22
00:01:02.200 --> 00:01:06.159
artist to camp here, because so in the State's camping

23
00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:09.879
is very different than here. How so, Well, you get

24
00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:13.280
like a normal campsite like ten to twenty feet You

25
00:01:13.319 --> 00:01:16.959
can park your car in your campsite, so if there's

26
00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:20.359
like a drown load, yeah, you can hide in your vehicle.

27
00:01:20.560 --> 00:01:22.560
Not a festival. You have your car by your side

28
00:01:22.599 --> 00:01:23.239
in the festival.

29
00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:24.760
Yeah at campsite.

30
00:01:24.799 --> 00:01:25.400
Oh nice.

31
00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:27.680
Yeah, So like is od.

32
00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:30.840
That's when I'll camp because you know, I got my equipment.

33
00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:34.519
I'm doing editing and so I need power. Yeah, so

34
00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:37.480
I just go into my vehicle, put in the power,

35
00:01:37.760 --> 00:01:41.560
crank up the radio at my campsite and do my work.

36
00:01:41.879 --> 00:01:42.079
You know.

37
00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:43.840
So that is a.

38
00:01:43.799 --> 00:01:47.079
Far better system because our tent side leaking last night

39
00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:50.400
and I was like, damn if only my car was nearby, right,

40
00:01:50.480 --> 00:01:53.760
but it's like twenty minutes away exactly.

41
00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:54.920
And then okay.

42
00:01:55.120 --> 00:01:58.920
I have the utmost respect for anybody that camps at

43
00:01:59.159 --> 00:02:01.519
UK or your Being festival.

44
00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:03.200
Especially England with the weather.

45
00:02:03.400 --> 00:02:04.319
Oh my god.

46
00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:08.120
The first time I saw it, I'm like, these people

47
00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:11.680
are nuts because they're like, you're like walking for miles

48
00:02:11.759 --> 00:02:15.360
with all your camp equipment, Like that doesn't happen in

49
00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:19.400
the state. But there is a difference here because of

50
00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:23.039
your laws. The campings included in the ticket. If you're

51
00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:26.639
somebody that's buying a ticket includes camping. In the States,

52
00:02:26.680 --> 00:02:28.960
you paid big money for the camping, like it's more

53
00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:32.879
expensive than a hotel. Really, yeah, well we're America, come up,

54
00:02:32.960 --> 00:02:33.560
Well yeah.

55
00:02:33.400 --> 00:02:35.080
True, I would do it.

56
00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:37.199
Then in that case, like company is kind of like

57
00:02:37.240 --> 00:02:39.159
the cheap way to kind of get out in it.

58
00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:42.639
You buy attent once if you're an eco friendly person,

59
00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:46.080
that is, you buy attent once, you keep it, and yeah,

60
00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:48.240
you can kind of like travel the length and bread

61
00:02:48.280 --> 00:02:50.439
for the country with that just in your bootcut you.

62
00:02:50.599 --> 00:02:52.520
So I'll end as well, because I know that you'll

63
00:02:52.639 --> 00:02:53.800
end an attent all end.

64
00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:56.639
Yeah, it is my parents tent from the eighties, hence

65
00:02:56.680 --> 00:02:57.560
why it's got holes in it.

66
00:02:57.599 --> 00:02:59.639
But wait, it lasted that long.

67
00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:03.439
They save things for a rainy day. That quite a

68
00:03:03.439 --> 00:03:04.560
frugal northern family.

69
00:03:04.680 --> 00:03:06.039
Yeah, I love it.

70
00:03:06.719 --> 00:03:10.599
Oh then because my tent lasted for quite a while

71
00:03:10.919 --> 00:03:15.759
until a festival had a tornado and took my tent away.

72
00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:16.560
Oh my gosh.

73
00:03:16.639 --> 00:03:18.800
That's another reason why not to come from America. I

74
00:03:18.840 --> 00:03:22.639
guess you've got really extreme weather over that. Yes, in England,

75
00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:25.919
at least we our tent to walk on it or however,

76
00:03:25.960 --> 00:03:27.520
we've had like tail ends of hurricanes.

77
00:03:27.560 --> 00:03:29.800
But obviously that doesn't have norsten. Yeah, you've got we

78
00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:30.319
get wind.

79
00:03:30.599 --> 00:03:32.520
Your weather is bipolar though.

80
00:03:32.960 --> 00:03:34.840
It's like I don't even know how to dress for

81
00:03:34.919 --> 00:03:39.439
today because yeah, now I'm not in about ten minutes

82
00:03:39.479 --> 00:03:42.960
I'll be cold. In about twenty minutes, I'll be wet

83
00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:46.599
and then i'll be hot again, and we just keep recycling.

84
00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:47.680
Yeah, I think we're in.

85
00:03:47.719 --> 00:03:52.080
Like hiking gear is the more suitable, like waterproof trousers,

86
00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:54.439
a thin waterproof court, especially in the summer when you're

87
00:03:54.439 --> 00:03:58.400
at a festival, it's worth layering, having those layers available

88
00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:01.360
at hands, like we were watching last night and Whenia

89
00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:04.960
was doing one September and yeah, it was perfect timing, right,

90
00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:07.240
good ran and the Heaven's opened and every yeah.

91
00:04:07.120 --> 00:04:07.719
We got drenched.

92
00:04:08.039 --> 00:04:11.159
It's like he ordered that to happen. Yeah, yeah, you

93
00:04:11.199 --> 00:04:13.719
want to laugh what I did during Green Day. He

94
00:04:13.759 --> 00:04:17.040
had just finished an interview. I ran out there while

95
00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:18.319
they're playing an American idiot.

96
00:04:18.439 --> 00:04:19.639
I'm running through the crowd.

97
00:04:19.720 --> 00:04:23.319
I'm like, I'm not an American idiot, and I don't

98
00:04:23.399 --> 00:04:27.399
want to be, because we are kind of idiots today

99
00:04:28.480 --> 00:04:31.720
just saying what we'll adopt you. Thanks, because I got

100
00:04:31.720 --> 00:04:34.639
on the plan. I'm like, and I never felt like

101
00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:36.160
that when I was young. And I'm like, oh, thank god,

102
00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:37.079
I'm getting out of here.

103
00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:41.079
Whereabouts in America, which there are you from?

104
00:04:41.439 --> 00:04:43.519
Well, where I'm from and where I live or two

105
00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:47.879
different stories. I live in Florida, right, I'm from New

106
00:04:47.959 --> 00:04:51.560
York and New Jersey and I moved to LA for

107
00:04:51.720 --> 00:04:54.920
high school during the height of the whole Sunset Strip

108
00:04:55.560 --> 00:04:57.680
heavy metal punk scene.

109
00:04:58.079 --> 00:05:01.000
Amazing, right, my god, what I'm to be there for

110
00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:01.759
as well.

111
00:05:01.879 --> 00:05:02.439
No doubt.

112
00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:04.680
And I saw a slip Not third stage of oz

113
00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:06.279
Fest in nineteen ninety nine.

114
00:05:07.160 --> 00:05:10.160
Yeah, I'm wearing a Slipknot T shirt for the listeners.

115
00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:12.360
Here's what I love though.

116
00:05:12.439 --> 00:05:15.040
Okay, this is my first time and I think like

117
00:05:16.040 --> 00:05:18.360
thirteen years and my hair's somewhat normal.

118
00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:21.920
My hair has been blue.

119
00:05:22.879 --> 00:05:25.600
Red, same thing you and me, Boo.

120
00:05:25.959 --> 00:05:26.279
Right.

121
00:05:26.439 --> 00:05:29.240
Two weeks ago, I was or not two weeks ago,

122
00:05:29.279 --> 00:05:32.040
like a month ago, I was at festival and I'm like,

123
00:05:33.040 --> 00:05:34.279
I'm a publicity horse.

124
00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:35.199
I'm bat.

125
00:05:35.480 --> 00:05:39.759
We're backstage, I'm doing an interview and the hairstylist for

126
00:05:39.839 --> 00:05:40.800
the band was there.

127
00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:43.120
Okay, it was Chavo's band.

128
00:05:43.399 --> 00:05:47.720
And I said, you know, you should do my hair

129
00:05:47.839 --> 00:05:52.079
during the interview live and I've done it before and

130
00:05:52.120 --> 00:05:53.759
you could do whatever you want. I don't even care.

131
00:05:53.839 --> 00:05:55.839
I even know what it was till she was done.

132
00:05:55.959 --> 00:05:57.839
It was purple and pink.

133
00:05:57.600 --> 00:05:58.079
At the end.

134
00:05:58.399 --> 00:05:59.720
I would like to do something like that.

135
00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:02.319
You can't look right back there.

136
00:06:02.680 --> 00:06:08.639
Oh yeah, earlier, because there's another in like makeup backstage,

137
00:06:08.639 --> 00:06:09.680
which we've never had before.

138
00:06:09.759 --> 00:06:12.800
So she she set me out fastage. Yeah.

139
00:06:12.920 --> 00:06:15.639
I mean, my hairdresser is absolutely phenomenal and I love

140
00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:18.720
her so much. But equally, I'm a very skinned girl

141
00:06:18.759 --> 00:06:21.160
as well, being a musician and everything, and I could

142
00:06:21.199 --> 00:06:23.319
have just got a caught here and I never knew

143
00:06:23.319 --> 00:06:24.800
because we're not used to that luxury.

144
00:06:24.959 --> 00:06:25.399
See that.

145
00:06:25.720 --> 00:06:29.519
And you know what, what I also love is I

146
00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:33.839
always matched my clothes and my sunglasses to the color

147
00:06:33.879 --> 00:06:37.519
of my hair, and you are doing exactly that, Like

148
00:06:37.600 --> 00:06:40.600
that color in the slip, not sure is exactly the

149
00:06:40.639 --> 00:06:41.360
color of your hair.

150
00:06:41.519 --> 00:06:45.160
I didn't even think about that. I'm just naturally mutching.

151
00:06:45.240 --> 00:06:47.360
I love Now you're gonna go look at the mirror.

152
00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:51.759
That's a good choice.

153
00:06:51.800 --> 00:06:53.319
What were like? I do it in my sleep?

154
00:06:53.879 --> 00:06:54.199
Nice.

155
00:06:54.759 --> 00:06:58.199
Let's tell the listeners got your music, like you know,

156
00:06:58.319 --> 00:07:00.680
I guess that's why we're here, So tell them a

157
00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:03.800
little bit about how you sers would describe your music,

158
00:07:03.879 --> 00:07:08.839
not some stupid genre that you're locked in as an artist.

159
00:07:09.240 --> 00:07:11.680
I want to hear, not how the record label things

160
00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:12.959
or anybody else, but.

161
00:07:13.160 --> 00:07:16.279
You, Oh well, I always say that it's kind of

162
00:07:16.360 --> 00:07:22.000
like if Nirvana met fleetwood Mark with the Cure with

163
00:07:22.120 --> 00:07:24.680
an other top line.

164
00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:24.959
That's where I'd go.

165
00:07:25.199 --> 00:07:26.120
I love that.

166
00:07:26.279 --> 00:07:26.959
I think as well.

167
00:07:27.240 --> 00:07:31.079
Live it's a different experience as the recorded versions too,

168
00:07:31.560 --> 00:07:34.199
And I think what's I find interesting about us sets

169
00:07:34.240 --> 00:07:37.000
how immersive it is, because it's like a full sort

170
00:07:37.000 --> 00:07:40.600
of performance where we really work and figure out transitions

171
00:07:40.600 --> 00:07:43.600
and intervals as well, and so it's very like amospheric

172
00:07:43.720 --> 00:07:46.800
and sometimes whimsical, but then at times it gets heavier

173
00:07:46.839 --> 00:07:48.680
and then sometimes it brings it back up. And we

174
00:07:48.680 --> 00:07:50.199
were talking to some people earlier and the same like

175
00:07:50.720 --> 00:07:54.560
I Download, they weren't expecting to be swinging their hips

176
00:07:54.639 --> 00:07:56.879
a kick, And I like that because it's a bit

177
00:07:56.920 --> 00:07:58.560
of a you know, a hip flare at times.

178
00:07:59.079 --> 00:08:00.720
Some of them can be, some of them can be,

179
00:08:01.079 --> 00:08:01.639
but yeah.

180
00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:03.800
No, definitely, Like I feel like we can cover a

181
00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:05.759
lot of bases with this band, Like we can suit

182
00:08:05.800 --> 00:08:09.079
a festival like Download and play a festival like Read

183
00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:11.639
and Leads or why Not Festival or somewhere like that,

184
00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:13.480
Like we can be quite malleable.

185
00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:17.079
I think with that, that's why I don't want people

186
00:08:17.120 --> 00:08:19.759
to use genre because you it's an artist. I mean,

187
00:08:19.800 --> 00:08:22.279
you want to express yourself and that's however you want to.

188
00:08:22.199 --> 00:08:24.959
Express And as there's five people as well, all with

189
00:08:25.079 --> 00:08:29.319
different musical influences, musical backgrounds, like you know, it needs

190
00:08:29.319 --> 00:08:31.360
to all right, Yeah, we need to be a cohesive,

191
00:08:31.839 --> 00:08:35.759
you know, unit visually and have somewhat of a of

192
00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:39.200
a genre identity, I guess. But like you know, we've

193
00:08:39.240 --> 00:08:42.720
all got our experiences, our tastes, and it's like it's

194
00:08:42.759 --> 00:08:44.960
it's really important for us to try squeeze as many

195
00:08:44.960 --> 00:08:47.639
of them in as we can, whilst you know, still

196
00:08:47.679 --> 00:08:52.000
stay in to the big general overlap, you know, type

197
00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:52.960
of music that we play.

198
00:08:53.120 --> 00:08:57.559
And I prefer a more generic genre like nowadays it's

199
00:08:57.600 --> 00:09:01.200
everybody's like put into this such a small oh.

200
00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:04.480
Yeah, and it's got all the like hyphenated like like

201
00:09:04.919 --> 00:09:09.000
it's just it's just rock, you know, or something like that.

202
00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:11.120
People said to us, all, what what style of the music?

203
00:09:11.159 --> 00:09:13.039
It's like, I don't really know how to say it

204
00:09:13.039 --> 00:09:13.200
to you.

205
00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:16.080
But like old rock, there you go, that's all it is.

206
00:09:16.120 --> 00:09:17.000
Do without what you will?

207
00:09:17.120 --> 00:09:17.360
You know.

208
00:09:18.639 --> 00:09:23.720
So what's your most exciting moment here at down for

209
00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:27.039
on download that you've had so far or you're looking

210
00:09:27.080 --> 00:09:27.519
forward to.

211
00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:31.960
We caught Weeza yesterday, which was incredible, and I just

212
00:09:32.000 --> 00:09:33.679
caught a bit of Poppy as well.

213
00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:35.240
Oh she's amazing, Right.

214
00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:37.279
I've been wanting to see Poppy for years because I've

215
00:09:37.320 --> 00:09:39.919
seen Poppy's evolution from when she started like on YouTube

216
00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:44.120
and was like a lot more pop poppier in seeing

217
00:09:44.120 --> 00:09:47.440
her evolved by each album getting progressively heavier and as

218
00:09:47.440 --> 00:09:51.120
well even just like music aside, Like I'm really interested

219
00:09:51.120 --> 00:09:53.080
in her, like a stage where and everything. It's really

220
00:09:53.159 --> 00:09:55.440
like put together super well. Yeah, she's like a super

221
00:09:55.480 --> 00:09:56.240
interesting character.

222
00:09:56.279 --> 00:09:57.000
I'm really interested.

223
00:09:57.080 --> 00:09:58.759
She's definitely a bro and I agree.

224
00:09:58.840 --> 00:10:03.120
I interviewed her when she was more poppy, and now

225
00:10:03.159 --> 00:10:05.039
I love her a lot more. I'm like, man, I

226
00:10:05.039 --> 00:10:07.440
wish she was like that when I interviewed her, you know,

227
00:10:07.639 --> 00:10:11.039
because she I think she's coming to her own now.

228
00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:15.159
I think her people were probably trying to put her

229
00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:17.919
in a box then that she was able to break

230
00:10:17.919 --> 00:10:18.240
out of.

231
00:10:18.360 --> 00:10:22.080
Yeah, nor her story is really inspiring. It's a really interesting. Sorry,

232
00:10:22.120 --> 00:10:25.039
and like, yeah, I'm really glad that she's hopefully got

233
00:10:25.039 --> 00:10:25.960
all that power back.

234
00:10:27.200 --> 00:10:29.279
If there was one last thing you wanted to say

235
00:10:29.320 --> 00:10:30.279

236
00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:34.360

It's really like, violently, it's the best festival I've been

245
00:10:55.879 --> 00:10:59.200
to in the least five years, because that's when I

246
00:10:59.200 --> 00:11:01.720
went to Glastonbury for that, so Glossom Bree is just amazing,

247
00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:02.799

248
00:11:02.879 --> 00:11:03.960
