So we are here with the one and only Bastille.
Hi Sophie and Lucy.
Everyone say hi to Sophie and Lucy.
Hi Sophie and Lucy! Hi!
We are here with the most amazing Bastille at the BRIT Awards 2014. How on earth are
you feeling?
We are... Excited. Excited, nervous, looking forward to seeing Sophie and Lucy later. Yeah.
-I'm also hungry. -Confused about what we're doing here.
How are you feeling?
I'm so excited for you guys. I'm so excited. You had the most storming year. If you could
pick one highlight were you thought your six-year-old self goes yay, what was it?
You can take this one, Woody.
I'll take this one. I'm going to say Glastonbury. Last year, that was pretty... That was intense.
Totally unexpected. We weren't expecting anyone to come and see us.
I think Glastonbury is one of those things that almost all musicians dream of doing from
very early on, so there's no way it's not going to be the most. But I mean, there's
been so many things this year that have just been amazing. We supported Muse, and that was insane.
We got to release an album.
Yeah, we released an album.
Who would have thought?
And on that note, you've also written your next album.
Quite a lot of it, yeah.
And how's it going to be different? Are you writing about different stuff?
We write about different things. There's a lot of different influences from kind of RnB
and hip hop through to much heavier rock stuff, so yeah, we're just having fun messing around.
Now you guys are the hottest things at the moment. Have you got loads of emails going:
Can I collaborate? Can I collaborate? Can I collaborate?
Not as many as you think, yeah.
I'd like Rihanna to personally want to collaborate with me, but she'll come around.
Hi. How are you doing?
Sorry.
Is there anyone you would at one point in your career kill to be with on stage and just
have an impromptu jam with?
Jam, you say?
What about Joe Pascolopedo?
Joe Pesci. He's a jazz guitarist.
He took your question very literally.
I don't know. Who would we like to jam with?
Rihanna. Rihanna. I'd love to jam with Rihanna.
Slow jam with Rihanna.
Woody wants to slow jam with Rihanna.
Now if you win, who gets to keep the awards? Where will you put them?
If we happen to win, which we won't, I think we'd snap it into little bits and so we can
each have a little bit in our house.
Who is here supporting you tonight?
Sophie and Lucy. These guy's girlfriends are here. Friends.
We don't get to be in London that much, so it's nice when we're here to just hang out
with our friends so we've got a pub later, and we're just going to invite all our mates
down and just have fun with them.
Who can throw shapes on the dance floor?
Oh Will was born to move.
After a couple of scotches, I've got some moves. I go from almost completely static
to I'm like Carlton out of the Fresh Prince.
Will by the way, Will just a week ago decided that he was going to start drinking scotch and now...
It's probably the single most biggest influence in my life. It identifies me as a man.
That's quite amazing. Now lastly, you guys. I mean, I've been in the States, and I only
heard your song on the radio. You are played 24/7. Have you had any amazing little strange
fan things?
What's the weirdest thing a fan has said to you or said to you?
I wouldn't say weird, but like people draw a lot of pictures, which is nice that they
take the time to do that. Some of them are actually really, really good.
It's quite weird when people have pictures of us on tee-shirts when you meet them. That's
one thing I find quite unnerving.
That is quite strange. And when people know really specific details about your life.
There was that dude you chatting to and his phone went off, and the ringtone was one of our songs.
That was amazing. We were being interviewed, and in the middle of an interview, his phone
went off. One of our songs just started playing, and we were like. I dismissed it, thinking
oh he's probably doing research or something. And he's like oh, that's really embarrassing.
We're like what? And he's like that's my ringtone. You didn't have to tell us that. He very much
put that information forward. That was brilliant. I think he wanted us to know.
It's like oh oh oh. Okay I'm not even going to attempt to sing it.
Can we end with that? Can we end with you singing to camera?
Attempt to sing Pompeii. I don't think so. Lovely to see you guys. Really rooting for
you. Thank you so much for coming over and speaking to us.
