>> I'm sorry, there must be some mistake.
I thought I was supposed to meet with a band and not just a bunch of groupies.
My name's Janessa Slater, and I'm a media coach who's helped hundreds of bands.
This is Sound Advice.
[Sound Advice]
So on your new album, you cover songs from artists such as Johnny Cash,
and Neil Young.
Do you hate being girls?
>> No.
I like my boobs.
>> If you're going to do cover songs, maybe cover, you know, some girl bands.
>> I think it's easier to cover guys because then you don't feel like you're imitating the way they're singing, you know?
>> I don't think that when I do karaoke.
Like, when I do Jewel in karaoke, for example,
it sounds totally like my own thing.
For example—
[singing] ♪ Who will save your soul when it comes to the flower do da do da ♪
So it sort of sounds exactly like her but like—
>> Definitely your own thing.
>> So Nora, I think by now everyone knows that you grew up the daughter of a very famous father.
So what was it like having your dad be Indiana Jones?
>> My dad's not Indiana Jones.
That's a movie character.
>> My dad's a movie, you know, actor.
I would tell my friends that sometimes because they would be like "where is he?"
[laughing]
>> Why is she laughing? >> I don't know. I don't know.
I want to get out of here.
>> I'm pretty sure I could get you booked on my niece Tova's bat mitzvah
if you guys know that song Happy.
Do you guys play that song Happy ever?
>> We don't do a lot of bat mitzvahs or casuals.
>> Is that because you're Anti-Semitic?
>> No.
>> OK, well, prove it by coming and doing my neice's bat mitzvah,
and then I'll know you mean it.
>> We're playing that night; right? >> Yeah.
Yeah, we have a gig at a bar.
>> This is very similar. It's just a bar-t mitzvah.
It's at Temple El Emanu-El,
and I'll see you there at eight; OK?
Next Saturday.
Come to it.
So as female country singers,
one thing that you have to be able to do is sing a song for Sunday Night Football.
So I'm just wondering how would yours go?
Mine would go like this.
[singing] ♪ And once you get to the place of the game ♪
♪ Hey, we're gonna come out and play ♪
or something like that. Now what would yours be?
[singing] ♪ Why don't you rub your butt on my truck nuts ♪
[laughing]
>> I don't feel like you guys are taking this assignment seriously.
So Catherine, you've played bass with noted musicians
like Grace Potter and Bryan Adams.
Were you ever on stage and hearing the crowd cheer
and just imagining that they were cheering for you?
>> Well they kind of—they kind of were.
>> Uh-hunh (negative), kind of weren't, you know.
>> How do you know? >> Were you there?
>> Yeah, were you there?
>> They were cheering for Bryan Adams.
>> No they weren't.
>> Do you take, like, a lot of off-brand Advil, that kind of thing?
>> I do, yes. >> OK, just curious.
>> Yeah, everything off brand because you know what they say.
That way you can take more of it.
You know, if this whole Puss n Boots thing doesn't work out—
and it won't—
I know a Potbelly's that's looking for acts.
I mean, they might make you make sandwiches first,
you know, and then get to do your songs or poetry or whatever,
but definitely at some point I'm sure I could get you, like, one or two gigs.
>> [whispering] Say thank you.
>> Thank you for the offer. >> Thank you, yeah.
>> That's really— >> Yeah, that's really thoughtful.
