First question
If you could cover any song what would it be that comes from
Lizzy in St. Paul, where's Lizzie Lizzie's here, right back, there's Lizzie.
How ya doin'?
It's difficult I mean...
There...there's obvious rules isn't there" Like no Michael Jackson no Donny Hathaway
no you're only because of quality like a certain artists regardless of whatever
other things so not it's that you can't really...like who's gonna do a Bob Dylan
song better than Bob Dylan right? What's the point? So, it's like I've struggled
with covers to be honest with you I think we did that Sade cover but only
because we wanted to do something for charity in between our records and stuff
like that and and we thought that was a good way of doing it, but um...
Listen...I mean...
I suppose it's kind of like the question is what's the best song as well isn't it?
Is it 'God Only Knows' by the Beach Boys is that the best song ever? I think I
think it might be the best song ever. So maybe that, if I could do it.
Next question for Ethster from Richfield. This is a very big question I think everybody
needs to know...What is your third your third favorite flavor of ice cream?
Not first or second...third!
I got kind of bougie ice cream tastes
We've had cream cheese ice cream.
No, honestly.
New York City...everything happens in New York City.
I was there once and somebody gave me basil and cream cheese ice cream and basil ice cream.
It was the best thing I've ever had in my life. It was so good so my third would
probably be...
Vanilla.
Alright we have Patrick Smith from Rosemount. Patrick Smith Patrick are
There's Patrick right there.
Long question...you ready for this one?
When writing songs do you come up with a phrase or the word for the title of the song first
and then write like a set of lyrics based around the title or do you have
lines written down for lyrics and then go back and pick out one of those for
the title based on what the subject matter the song is about.
There is only 2 ways that Ido it there's other ways of doing it like...
People like...
Certain people who work in like other art forms advice so some people are just geniuses like they just
have things they're they just have these narratives like I believe that Quentin
Tarantino walks around with just full movies in his head like you know what I
mean that kind of thing right for me it's more like...
so it comes to music first, it always comes to music first, and unless there's like a sentiment and then
I'll try and get it in but to be fair normally how it works is there'll be a
piece of music and I'll scat over it so I'll be like further well I mean
chocolate is the ultimate example of acts I didn't even write the lyrics I
just left the scat just beep boop you know I mean?
but uh so I'll scat and then I'll find a rhyme you know it was like it's not
living if it's not with you it's very much better way of the U and then I got
that shape live in if it's not with you and then I was like right well what does
that mean to me and I was like oh god I know what that means you know I mean so
then it kind of works like that really and then I'll just have sentences
written down and sometimes I try and jam the whole sentence in when it doesn't
work musically I can give yourself a try there's this bit there's a bit that's
like the only upper rate is required for happiness as your pain and fucking going
outside it doesn't rhyme or anything but that was just written down I'll just put
that in it so sometimes it works like that
Next question, from Cassie in Minneapolis...What is one thing you can only get in
America that you can't get overseas and you always look forward to and you come
here it could be like food a clothing store something like that
Chick-fil-a!
Moral ambiguity to that one but hey!
if you're fucking eating... it my I eat it with my gay friends and we're cool! We're all cool
with that chicken so good um yeah chick-fil-a like honestly this is gonna
sound like kind of childish like especially because you guys could you
guys just have things then you go right commercialize it like you guys have done
that with weed... right? So you go at certain parts of America and there's
like weed stores right? ....It's fucking amazing! It's amazing it's crazy like in
the UK though just never ever happen but I think as soon as you see where the
money is we'll have some of that you know in a
bad way I like it.
What do you get at Chick-fil-a?
A Spicey Deluxe.
Ohhh yeah my man.
Okay, final question comes from Mari in Inver Grove
Heights as Mari Mari is here Mari ...there she is right there, okay question is
Will pressure, head cars bending and or menswear ever make an appearance on this
tour or any future tours?
Menswear, I think menswear has once right? I think in
South America maybe or something head cars bending you want to know really
boring answer?
We switch to these things called campers, right,
so if you know it's on our stage we don't have any what's called back line no amplifiers no
anything I want it to be like a chic kind of talking heads thing in order to
do that there's this new thing called a camper and pray so over the past five
years there's been this whole you know there's the whole debate and music
production digital versus analog right what camper is is basically a computer
instead of an amplifier so it can do everything that a guitar amp can do but
it's... you don't have any of the bullshit that comes with a guitar amp so I use
them now but I it took me a long time to do it...but the distortion isn't quite
perfect and head cause bending is all about the tonal element of the
distortion so until I get that right can't play it.
I'm trying.
So it's all abouttechnology so it's not actually my fault.
(Dana) Blame the technology!
And Pressure maybe it's just that like honestly we've got another like 20 track record coming
out this year so I'm struggling to find find time for stuff in the set.
Yeah I mean that's all the questions appreciate you taking the time I believe
we're gonna line up for some pictures if that's cool with you
