Who have you got in there Darrent?
Who is she?
What the F?
Who are you, and what are you doing with my man?
I'm just with the cleaning service.
You clean cars? >> Yeah. >> Okay.
I've got a little bit of a crumb situation in mine,
and it's just bread. It gets everywhere.
My name's Janessa Slater, and I'm a media coach who's helped hundreds of bands.
This is Sound Advice.
[Janessa] I'm sorry. Have we met before? >> [Estes] We've definitely met before.
You remember us.
Este, Alana, and then, yeah. >> Yeah.
I don't remember. >> Danielle. I wasn't here last time.
[Janessa] And why were you not here?
[Danielle] I was really sick, actually.
[Janessa] I don't know why it would be that big of a deal if you were sick, you know?
Because, like, at your concerts anyway you're always just like [deep singing/grunting sound].
[Alana] You sound like you're clearing your throat.
[Janessa] Well, you said it.
What's inspiring your next album?
[Alana] We were lucky enough to tour for two years straight, and we've been everywhere.
[Janessa] I can't believe you got that much time off from Urban Outfitters.
[Danielle] We never worked at Urban Outfitters. >> [Alana] Yeah, we don't work at Urban Outfitters.
[Janessa] Gals, I know that we're in California,
but we don't always have to wear leather jackets.
It's like did somebody call the Fonz?
Maybe try swapping out a leather jacket for—I don't know—a smart blazer.
[Danielle] I didn't even realize were all going to wear leather jackets, but—
[Janessa] Can I address that as well?
You know, this cool girl thing of, like, I just put on a leather jacket,
and I don't have to worry about if it's flattering because I'm skinny
and, like, I'm not wearing three pairs of Spanx.
You know what I mean? Like, we get it.
[Alana] Who says I'm not wearing three pairs of Spanx? >> Yeah.
[Janessa] Alana? >> [Alana] You're really not selling me on this smart blazer.
[Janessa] Alana, it's just, like—
I get it. You're cool girls.
You're like, "I don't know. Like, I think I maybe want to see a concert tonight.?
[Danielle] A what?
[Janessa] I just, like, want to, like, have snacks and, like, go to a concert.
Like, that's kind of how you guys come off.
[Danielle] I mean, I love snacks. >> [Estes] And I love concerts too.
[Danielle] I love concerts. >> [Janessa] But do you like having snacks?
[Alana] What is this voice that you're doing?
[Janessa] Alana, like, you have to let me talk.
[Alana] I'm sorry I just— [Janessa] Because we won't get anything—
I'm not your teachers. I'm not going to send you to detention.
[Estes] Why are picking on Alana? [Janessa] Because she's like my little sister.
[Alana] I'm so not your little sister. [Estes] No.
[Janessa] We're all sisters. [All three] No. We're not sisters.
[Janessa] You're doing really well, and I think that a great next step
might be to add me to your band.
I'm kind of hot and Jewish.
I could just kind of insert myself in.
Let's just improvise a song right now,
and I'll just kind of show you how seamlessly I would fit in.
Can you guys play something too? [drumming]
So it feels like the whole band is playing. Okay.
[singing] Oh...
♪ I don't even know what you do ♪
♪ Yeah ♪
♪ Oh ♪
♪ This was a mistake...oh ♪
♪ oh wa ah ♫ [Estes] Okay, that's enough.
I don't even know what that was. >> That's crazy.
[Janessa] Good. [Alana] That was really, really bad.
[Janessa] Blew your minds.
All right guys, can I have a sister hug?
No.
Nope. >> No.
[Janessa] We're sisters. >> No, we're not.
[Janessa] We love each other. >> No, we don't.
