>>> WELCOME BACK. EARLIER THIS MORNING, MUSIC
SHOOUP STARS S
SUPERSTARS CHAINSMOKERS DIDN’T
LET THE RAIN STOP THEM FROM
TURNING THE STAGE INTO A DANCE
FLOOR.
FLOOR. >> THEY DEBUTED AT NUMBER ONE ON
THE ELECTRONIC CHARTS.
THEY HAVE A LIVE TOUR IN THE
FALL.
FALL. ALEX PALL AND DREW TAGGART
JOINING US NOW, INSIDE.
>> THEY NEVER LET US INSIDE.
>> REALLY?
>> REALLY? >> TRUE.
>> TRUE. >> THEY KEEP US OUT.
>> TRUE.
>> TRUE. >> THIS IS A FIRST FOR US.
>> REALLY?
>> REALLY? >> YEAH, YEAH.
>> WELCOME.
>> WELCOME. >> THIS IS AMAZING.
>> WOW.
>> WOW. >> YOU’RE DRY AND EVERYTHING.
IT’S PERFECT.
IT’S PERFECT. GO AHEAD.
GO AHEAD. >> LET’S TALK ABOUT THIS TOUR
COMING UP.
COMING UP. HOW MANY DATES?
WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
HOW EXCITED ARE YOU?
>> EVERYWHERE.
>> EVERYWHERE. 42 CITIES INCLUDING CANADA,
STARTS IN THE FALL.
WE’RE REALLY EXCITED.
WE’RE GOING WITH FIVE SECONDS OF
SUMMER, GOOD FRIENDS OF OURS.
WE COULDN’T BE MORE EXCITED.
WE SPENT THE LAST YEAR DESIGNING
THIS BRAND-NEW SHOW.
SPENT ALL OUR MONEY, WE’RE
BROKE.
BROKE. >> DID YOU SEE THE LINE WRAPPED
AROUND 30 ROCK?
DON’T BELIEVE IT.
>> THAT WAS SPECIAL.
>> I LIKE THE IDEA YOU GUYS ARE
RELEASING A SONG AT A TIME,
RIGHT?
RIGHT? >> YEAH.
>> YEAH. >> TALK ABOUT THE THOUGHT BEHIND
THAT.
THAT. I THINK IT IS BORDERLINE GENIUS.
GO AHEAD.
GO AHEAD. >> I MEAN, THE MAIN REASON WE
STARTED DOING IT IS BECAUSE
THAT’S KIND OF HOW WE STARTED
DOING IT IN THE BEGINNING.
WE AREN’T THINKING ABOUT ALBUMS.
IT IS WHAT DANCE MUSIC DID.
WE TOUR ALL YEAR, PRETTY MUCH.
WE NEVER STOPPED.
WE FELT LIKE, YOU KNOW, WE NEVER
HAD ENOUGH TIME OFF TO SIT AND
MAKE AN ENTIRE BODY OF WORK AND
PUT IT OUT AT ONCE.
WE WRITE AND PRODUCE AND TOUR
AND DO THAT ALL AT THE SAME
TIME.
TIME. WE’RE ALWAYS CHANGING.
WE WANT TO PUT OUT WHAT IS
CURRENT.
CURRENT. THIS IS LIKE A GOOD WAY FOR US
TO DO IT.
TO DO IT. >> I THOUGHT OF SOMETHING.
SORRY.
SORRY. SO IF YOU DO THAT, SOMETIMES IF
SOMEBODY RELEASES AN ALBUM AND
GOES ON TOUR, PEOPLE CAN SING
BACK THE WORDS.
HOW DO YOU DO THAT, IF YOU DON’T
KNOW IT YET?
>> SONGS GET INTRODUCED TO THE
SET.
SET. SOMETIMES WE PLAY UNRELEASED
STUFF, WHICH IS REALLY FUN.
YOU SEE THE INTERNET DIGEST THE
TRACK BEFORE IT IS OUT.
SOMETIMES YOU GET A HINT ACT HOW
HOW THE SONG IS GOING TO DO,
WHERE IT IS GOING TO WORK.
AS SOON AS A TRACK IS OUT, WE
START PERFORMING IT.
IT IS A NICE WAY TO KEEP THE
LIVE SHOW CHANGEING, TOO.
>> SURE.
>> SURE. >> I’M FASCINATED BY WHO
MUSICIANS LISTEN TO.
WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO RIGHT
NOW?
NOW? >> FISHER.
>> FISHER. >> I WANT TIM AND PAULA TO DROP
A FULL ALBUM.
ONLY PUTTING OUT SONG BY SONG
RIGHT NOW.
RIGHT NOW. >> SPEAKING OF WHICH, HELLO.
>> IT’S OKAY FOR ME TO DO IT.
>> EXACTLY.
>> EXACTLY. >> YOU POSTED ON INSTAGRAM,
DREW, A POST I HAD AN AH-HA
MOMENT THIS MORNING.
YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT
DEPRESSION.
DEPRESSION. YOU’RE OPEN ABOUT THAT, THE
PRESSURES OF FAME.
YOU WROTE IN THIS POST, YOU SAY,
THAT’S THE FUNNY THING ABOUT
DEPRESSION.
DEPRESSION. IT DOESN’T MATTER WHAT YOU’VE
ACCOMPLISHED BECAUSE IT ATTACKS
HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT IT.
WHEN I READ THAT, I THOUGHT, OH.
I NEVER REALIZED THAT.
THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE WHO SAY,
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
YOU’RE FAMOUS.
YOU’RE FAMOUS. YOU HAVE ALL THIS, SO WHY ARE
YOU DEPRESSED.
YOU DEPRESSED. YOU SAID, IT ATTACKS HOW YOU
FEEL ABOUT WHATEVER IT IS.
>> I DIDN’T REALIZE I’D BE
TALKING ABOUT IT ON THE "TODAY"
SHOW.
SHOW. >> YOU HELPED A LOT OF PEOPLE.
>> I JUST WANTED TO LET PEOPLE
KNOW THAT I GO THROUGH IT, AS
WELL.
WELL. A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN MUCH
MORE OUTSPOKEN ABOUT THEIR OWN
MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEMS OR
FRIENDS’ PROBLEMS.
FRIENDS’ PROBLEMS. I THOUGHT, YOU KNOW, HOPEFULLY
IT CAN BE HELPFUL FOR MY FANS,
TO SHARE WHAT I WENT THROUGH.
I THINK IT EXPLAINS A LOT ABOUT
THE MUSIC WE WERE MAKING.
I WANTED THEM TO KNOW WHERE IT
WAS COMING FROM.
>> HOW ABOUT WE SWITCH GEARS ON
THIS FRIDAY.
THIS FRIDAY. WE DO A THING ON FRIDAYS CALLED
FUN FACT FRIDAY.
>> OH, BOY, YEAH.
>> I’M SURE SOMEONE GAVE YOU A
HEADS UP.
HEADS UP. >> WHAT IS YOUR FUN FACT?

>> YEAH. EVERY TIME "STRANGER THINGS"
COME BACK INTO A SEASON, I DRESS
LIKE HOPPER ON CERTAIN DAYS.

THIS HAPPENING.

ENCOURAGING THIS.
ENCOURAGING THIS. >> HOLD IT UP TO CAMERA ONE.
