Our set is kind of all over the place is why I like, don't like being called a punk band necessarily because we have an acoustic song. We are very metal, so like we have very different, like influences. I never want to be in a box of like, we're just a punk band, which they're going to call us forever. We're going to be an all girl punk band forever, which is fucked up, but I don't know whatever. How did you guys formed the band? Where did it come from? Whose idea was it? It was a joke. The joke? Way too far in our. I actually believe that. Now is the last thing I remember. You need a haircut and we are live from Los Vegas. Punk rock bowling. Danny, how are you doing? I'm doing amazing. Yeah, yeah. A little, little rough this morning. Little rough? Yeah. I've never been out so late as I was. Never? Never. Not till I used to be. Out late all the time. I used to be better at that. Yeah. Brittany, how are you doing? I'm great. I fell fantastic. We have four punk rock beautiful ladies here. Die Spitz. We have Ava, Chloe, Ali and Kate. Who's who I, Eva I'm Ellie, I'm Chloe, I'm Kate I like that we're off to a good start. Nice to me, rowdy. Before we to get rowdy. You guys from Texas, Yeah, yeah, yeah I can see the Texas boots flowing. Yeah. Kicks are coming out. girls I was like when you know, I knew you were coming on. I kind of like wanted to scour and do a bit of homework and what I kind of noticed is you're very similar to what me and Danny were many, many, many moons ago in the early 2000. we had a snowboard company called Grenade Gloves. And and, we used to drive around in a little van, and I have this bus here. We used to drive around a 93, 94 Winnebago, and we all had Mohawks. Danny grew up in new Jersey. Danny, two time Olympic silver medalist snowboarder. and, we used to he grew up with Jerry only from the misfits, and we used to collab with the misfits back in the day, and I was looking at the for You and I thought, fuck, that's what we were 20 years ago. That's. Yeah. We looked just like you 20 years ago. And if we could have been a punk rock band, I would have wanted to be Di Spitz. Oh. Thank you. how did you girls come together? You guys, it's a new. It's a new band. Pretty new. Yeah. Two years. Two years. How did you all meet? baby's middle school two years ago. We all have the same mom, but different dads. Shut up. Yeah. You're lying. No you're not. No hole. Same. My mom was busy. Yeah, and I actually didn't, like, know them. I, I actually saved Kate from a car crash. I threw her car into the Hudson River because it was on fire, and I pulled her out. And then we realized that we had the same mother. Yeah, well, you're kidding me. No, no. This is. Why would I lie to you? But not everything. Do what I did. Wouldn't. You're all sisters. Yeah, and. But we didn't know it for, like, a long time until she saved her from the car crash. Wearing what? So where in Texas? Austin. Austin? Yeah, an old from the same city. This is crazy. And like, is like you're you're as well. You guys are lying. Oh well I would be like oh man this this.

Instrument. I just love them. Like, She likes to climb things. You're the climber. Yeah. I like to see that, you're hanging upside down. Yeah. Hanging railings. You're the one looking for railings, trying to figure out where you go. Are you are you are you are you stage diving too? yeah. Yeah. It's it's your guys first time here at that punk rock balling. First time in Vegas. Wow. You guys should come out with me later. I've been coming here for a long time. I would like to show you girls the real Vegas. Mean you guys do strip clubs? I gambled, I gambled away $2, and then I stopped. Yeah, like I lost $2. The house always win. It's a house. The house always wins. This is. I'm willing. Have you been gambling since you've been here, Danny? I haven't gambled, but it was. It's really cool to see, like, this part of Vegas. I've been to, like, all the big hotel thing where it's just kind of normal, but, like, where the festival is, and, like, the old town is a wild scene. I saw a topless nun. A topless, topless nun. Lucky. Yeah. It's like all I mean, basically it's it's Sin City for real on that strip. What about the pool downstairs right now the pool's raging. There's a pool. You didn't see the pool when you came off the elevator. No, we were late. We were running up here. That's all right. You guys are supposed to be late. We didn't think you were going to show up. We didn't know what we were going to do. Yeah, because I was out the pool. Yeah, like we wanted to. We had to show up and lie about how we met. Yeah. Fucking God. I believed it for a second. I mean, we all kind of, to be honest. Yeah. You'll believe anything? No. Did not do you very, Sure. Britney is from Vegas. I am really? Yeah, really. This is my town. Born and bred. We stole her from the UFC. She used to be a UFC ring girl. For real? Yeah. That's sick. That's one Awards. Yeah, I guess. Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah. You're all award winners. I'm not. Oh, no. You're an award winner in my. Yeah, yeah. There you go. I'm not at all. How did you guys form the band? Where did it come from? Whose idea was it? It was a joke. The joke? Way too far in our. I actually believe that getting interviewed by monster. Yeah, well, you're part of the family now. Yeah. You're on the squad. You love bug. Yeah, we love monster. This is how we love most. yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Water to water. We love water to. That's good water. Yeah. Oh. Do you know the story behind the water? No. Tell me. So, the Vans Warped Tour, you girls have ever heard of the vans? Oh, yeah. Yeah. So we used to make canned water for the Warped Tour, and we didn't sell it, and we would give it to the band so they could stay hydrated. So we never sold it. And then recently, in the last two years, we, decided to bring it back. And that's why you see the vans warped to a logo on the can. And it's a throwback to what the actual, that was the artwork from the Vans Warped Tour back in the day. That's so cool. Pretty cool. Right? So we used to hydrate bands while on the road because they were living out of a van and going from town to town to town in the middle of summer. And there's a lot of towns where the water tastes terrible like shit. It's very thoughtful. Yeah. Are you guys living out of a van? Who drives you? The driver. It's my passion. Is it comes second only to driving the van. Her name's little Suzy. She's a 2010. Just a 14 year old girl like the rest of us. Well, you know. Do you guys have a tool manager? No. Is it just the four of you? No. He does have a companion. And he's actually in the car right now watching car. So we're the the windows are rolled down. he's he's live. He can watch. He can chat. He can hit Brittany on what I don't to jump in the chat room. We got, I know what where the meaning of the band the the name come from. I know from paper bag. Bottle of fireball. Oh, I love fireball. Yeah, we used it in the two of us. We used to, well, it would kind of came later, right? But we would, we would take we would take, like, we would, have an iron. We would travel because we would actually watch shots and we would heat up the iron and we'd pour the. We'd pour onto the iron and drink it. Oh, yeah. Like off of the iron to heat it up. Why, I don't know. Why would that. Because we were in a hotel room and we were like, what's in every hotel room and iron? Why don't we drink off of it? And a Bible and a Bible. Yeah. We didn't do any Bible shots. We like to do shots. So it's like a thing. Yeah. We used to do fireball. Yeah, yeah. So we took a whole new meaning to fireball. Yeah. Got about that. We're stupid. That is stupid. Is really stupid. But maybe that's where fireball came from. I think someone saw it and then we're like, that's a good idea, but let's get rid of the iron. It's in every gas station. It's why when you go to pay and they've got to, like, a little job there. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. two of these you guys just came from LA. You're on the road right now. Yes. What's, what what what what cities are you coming from with San Diego and then L.A. and before that it was Phoenix. Yeah, we love it. I love Phoenix and then twin Mod Albuquerque, which we got. We we couldn't get a hotel room there. They didn't let us in. So we had to drive all night to Phoenix. Why didn't they let you in? yeah, we smelled too bad. I'm not sure how much of this I'm believing you. It's. No. Why would we lie to you? I mean, that's a great question. I don't think you guys smell bad at all. You smell bad. Thank you, thank you. We got a quick. We had an obligatory. I'll just order east showers in this morning. I, like, our manager called. Isn't. Was like it's time the manager calls and tells you guys to shower. That's the main job. Yeah. Just before we went live, I had a friend check on me. So I get wellness checks all the time. I think you check. What's been your favorite crowd out of since your tour? Like so far? Phoenix. Phoenix. Also done like Permanent Records in L.A though. Yeah it was it was really like intimate, but it's kind of better that way. Yeah. Less room. Right. You think that, like, more of an intimate like theater is you'd prefer it rather than, like the festival vibe there. It just kind of like, takes you back to, like, when you first started and, like, smaller. And when did you guys first say when was your first performance? Would you say you got a hole in the wall like two and a half years ago? It's like this dive bar in Austin. and yeah, it was what a great like Austin is such a Mecca and especially like starting there because the music scene out there is incredible. So it's really like easy to be inspired by different artists. Who did you guys look up to? Do you have any bands that? There's a band there that we sound nothing like, but they're called Being Dead and I love them. Okay, and Farmer's Wife Party Van. Y'all got any ideas? Yeah, there's lots of good, awesome bands. And after that first show, we were able to play, like, once or twice every week. until until we booked ourselves three times, then, you know, like. Yeah, you know, we, we got a manager after we triple booked ourself for one night because we would all, like, have the email. We'd just be like, yes, we will play this and then you like which play pick. We pick two of them. We dropped one but we did two. We're playing two times today, so I know what time. What time is the first set for 35. What stage? Monster concert. What? Oh the best one. And then what time is the second set? 1130. Oh, yeah. Ready? Yeah. No, the other set's different. You mix it up a little. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Scramble them. Scramble. Take a song. Do you guys ever just riff and like, play like, you know something that you're not thinking about? Like you do you have a direct set list? sometimes I'll just, like, go off and it's like, everyone just looks at me and is kind of like, all right, come on now. And I'm like, oh, yeah, I'm supposed to start the song. Sorry, you're the leader of the pack. no, I'm the one that's like, does it remember? It's my turn. This is all right. Yeah. That's good. That makes sense. Yeah. have you guys checked out any other bands since you've been here? We saw the chats. Yes, yes. So, so and super. We're friends with them, though. They've been. They're really good. Awesome. Yeah. What are the festivals you guys playing this year? unannounced. One must be, Muslim meltdown, massive meltdown. The next one. I'm really excited. Yeah. I love going to the Bay area, San Francisco, San Fran, San Francisco, F cool place. Brittany, can we hit the chat or in the chat? What do we got going on there? That's insane. They're not sisters. They like that. Someone said, why are you versus Chad is on our. Someone said in the chat, who's the oldest? we we don't like to discuss that. Okay. Who's the youngest then? We don't like guns. Okay? That was the most responsible. The driver? Yeah. No. when she's driving. Yes. No, you definitely are the most responsible. But I'm the only one without a higher education. Only driving. She went to driving school, like, multiple time. what's driving school? it's like driver's ed. You can take it, like, multiple times a day. You don't have that in Australia. You have a really clear. Yeah, but, like to get a license, you have to go to driving. I have a license here. Right. Okay. I don't think I went to driving school, though. I think you just got it. You just walked in, were like, I don't remember. Let me. The key as Australia is a tricky place. They just. They gave it to anybody out there. They they do, they do. Have you guys been to Australia. You guys been overseas at all? No, I want to. So why would you want to go? I feel like you girls would want to go to, like, Germany or London or if you like, want to go to Japan? Japan? Yeah, Japan. I definitely want to go to Berlin because there's all these people saying like, go to Berlin. Berlin. I feel like I can't wait for you to come in Europe. Yeah, I feel like you got like a fan base there. That would work. Yeah, it would be cool. I really want to go. Has anyone been arrested? No. We're responsible young girls. Yeah, that's saw punk rock. I know it's we're not punk rock. I don't know. Oh, we go rock. There I was up on the screen, right. Yeah. Where's that? Oh, it's on Vegas. Yes it is. Yeah. Yes. Oh. Oh yeah. That is a lot of fun. That's been my passion. Yeah. Your beer shirt. Yeah. It's only shorter to ever really wear. But my manager called me and said I wasn't allowed to wear it. You got to change it. Yeah. What are your dog tags say? It's my grandma's. That's legit dog tags. Yeah, it. My grandmas struggle. We used to run dog tags all the time. Danny. Yeah, we did. We had a dog tag. We had a machine. We would go around and we would. We would just imprint and pass out dog tags. Yeah, that thing was huge. I was like 100 pounds and I would just stamp tags. It's pretty fun. That's cool. I like Danny's long over on a little. It's usually a little easier. Yeah, I had a I had a big night. These two are hard to keep up with here in in the Vegas world. do you girls have any like, favorite like when you first started, like, coming together as a band, but we're like some of the your songs that you'd play before writing your own music or do you have any favorites? We did some covers. What were they? we did Fell in Love with a Girl by the White Stripes. That was fun. Yeah, we. There's a PJ Harvey songs. Yeah. I don't know if we've said this before, but, we used to be like a country band when we first started. It was, like, really slow music, like acoustic guitars all the time, and people would still mosh. And we were like, what the fuck is this? Why are they? Why are they doing that? we were trying to go for like, a Pixies vibe, sort of. Yeah. But it did not work. No, we had a ballad. That's pretty good. Yeah, yeah. And was it under the same name or. Yeah, totally different identity. Like people were going to be like. Yeah. I mean, be like, Now we know. It's like the energy though. It was always there. We were really. And then I learned how to like, write and just do. And then we were like, oh wait, Ginger right there. Metal. Yeah. Metal. Yeah. When did you guys, like, find your sound? Was it something that you had to, like, experiment, like you said, with country and then you wanted to be like the Pixies and then you, like, discovered it naturally? Or was it something that you guys kind of, like, tried each and everyone to whatever fit? Like, what's the process of even finding a sound or like knowing what you want to be and how you want to sing and like, who's going to play what part? Having a good rhythm section. Okay. Yeah. foreign. Yeah. we we started the band in high school, actually, but Chloe was like, when she joined, like, we actually became a band and she was really good drums. And she just, like, solidified everything. Do you guys have musicians in your family? Yes, my dad plays guitar. Your dad plays guitar? What about you guys? Yeah. My dad. My dad's into music. He's also like he did, like audio engineering and stuff like, oh, wow. Does he mixture your music? No, but I work at a speaker store that he works for. Nice. So do they. But. Right. It's awesome. What was the store bring on you shout out. Looks like it's going to be trouble at work. It's the first portable speaker. Have a subwoofer. It's pretty cool. Really? Yeah. If y'all ever want some crazy bass, then they better give us commission. Yeah, yeah. oh. I have no music. Music? You know. No, I mean, a lot of musical enjoys in my family, but no musician. I don't even enjoy music. Actually. So when someone told my mom because she came to us, so was by the the merch table, and they told her that they liked her band, but their sister did it because we were nipple babies and Keith Morris was our dad. So I guess our dad. Yeah, I think we might have said that at some point, but no one's to believe a word we say. Yeah, well, one I wonder why. Yeah. Who's designing the merch? all of us. All of you. Yeah, I like that. what are the current designs right now? Merch is cool, right? I love merch. Every time I go to a show, I buy merch. There's, one that we got right now that says I heart my heart piece on it because, we wrote a song called My Heart Piece. Who came up with that song? It was my song. Yeah. I figured, yeah. And and I've designed some other merch before, but that one took like minutes to design, and I've never been more proud. Yeah, you should be. Yeah. I wish we had some on here. Yeah. Seriously. What? What's the process of writing a song? I'm really. I'm like, is it going like you said? Do you build the rhythm first? Do you have the lyric first? Is it kind of all at the same time? Are you each having your own section? What is that for you? usually a riff and then lyrics and then bring it to the band and they make this song. So do you make most of the lyrics about personal life or is it mostly about piss? Yeah, yeah I you that's personal. Very personal. It's way too personal. Sorry. You guys have, like, like anybody you wish to, like, write or produce with Will. Yep. Oh, don't worry about it. Yeah. You know who he is? Yeah, yeah. Wow. We're coming for you. Will. He's out there. He's out there somewhere. You're pointing at the boys in Philadelphia. Oh, right. Why do you want to work with him? He seems nice. That's okay. He mastered our our new singles and he was like, really cool. And, Stevo a vinyl though, or a vinyl. He, he just passed away recently but yeah, he was definitely like a dream producer to work with. So yeah, pretty sad. But yeah. Are you guys, have you guys made all your music in like you, sorry Austin, or have you made music in La Reina Studios in LA? We actually recorded the last three singles in our living room. Sick, which sucks, but it's cool. It gives it the vibe. Yeah, it was like all of the atmosphere in my room, so, like, I couldn't, like, go in my room. Your room, like, wasn't allowed. She lives in the living room. Where did you sleep? I slept on top of the amps most nights, so that's rock n roll. Yeah, it was really nice. Comfortable. It is good. Back support. Who's got the most tattoos ever? I do you got some sick ones.

Is that that's a good thing. Great thing. I think it's a great thing. You definitely have some sort of a German vibe. Pretty thought you a German did like didn't. So she was like, are they going to be able to speak English or what the name meant? And there's a German like thing for horny. That's what it would say. it wasn't meant to be that way, but it is. Let's see. It worked out and it did. What would you guys describe your music style to be? Girl rock. You guys got to go a little deeper on that. Just like rock for girls. Like girls, I think. Not as good. Yeah. It's like it's like rock, but not as good. No, no, it's a bunch of girls. There's really not that many. All girl group. There is a there really. Is that you like? Yeah.

Someone had asked, what is your favorite tattoo and what's the meaning of it? I just can't find the exact one. Oh, yeah. Here it goes. Meaning most meaningful tattoo or best story behind the ones you have. You guys got it? Yeah, I got a baby Aveeno. A baby smiley face from when I was, like, 16. That ever did on me. Actually, it's really bad. It's really bad, I don't know. Oh, yeah, it was when it was when Texas froze over and she got caught at my house and, we were like 15 or 16 and we watched Adventure Time, and I tried to give it to her and it just wouldn't work. And so it looks really bad, but it's there was a real tattoo going on like a one, you know, it was like a sewing needle. It looked and it looks like it sick. Yeah. Now you're looking at the wrong one. Oh, no. No, I don't want to look any deeper. Yeah, yeah. Don't look down there. There's no it's it's is, it's a smiley face. That's pretty shit bad. But I like sentimental shit tattoos. What I was all about. Yeah, I did a, I did a, homeless, hot dogs for homeless tour on a bus. But we drove around and fed homeless people, hot dogs, with, wienerschnitzel. And we said if we raised a certain amount of money that we thought there was no way we would get there, that we would all get these hot dog tattoos. We hit the bar, and then I had to get this tattoo. So we all have this tattoo. It's a skateboarding hot dog. this thing. Well, is it losing its hat? No. What do you see? Oh, yeah. The hats flying off. Oh, wow. So that's that's. I think that's my stupid tattoo. I feel like sometimes, like, the worse the tattoo is, sometimes it becomes your favorite. Yeah. Yeah. That's like, I think so, you know, you're like, I got, I mean, Brittany, you got some shit tattooed. Do I have lips on my butt? That was a big mistake. Yeah. What did you come up with that idea? I was 16, and I was just like, kiss my ass world. And my best friend got it in Venice? No, in, San Diego. Mission beach. Shouldn't even have gotten a tattoo. Yeah, like it was strong. What about your worst tattoo, Danny? Me? Oh, I don't know. I got this radical dude tattoo, but I like that one. Kim Jong karat from the back. Oh. The carrot. Yeah, I got the hair come from. I got that in, X games. Do we have any matching tattoos? Yeah, we have this one, I think. No. Oh, yeah. We have radical dude tattoos. Yeah, yeah, I like matching the radical. Do you go inside the radical, bad club? Radical, big punk rock babe club? Sorry. Maybe that wasn't fuck, right? At least not at a club called the Radical Dude Club back in the day. And, like, seven people got them, and one girl got a radical babe tattoo. Sick fuck. Yeah, yeah, it was started. It's just a club. Yeah. You just get tattoo and you're in. Yeah. You're in. Okay. Yeah. And club everything. Everyone get man club tattooed on you. Oh, man. Club. That's a good fan club. Yeah. What? We're started doing it at our events. I don't think we've done it at any of the music festivals, but we now bring a tattoo artist and we just tattoo people at monster events the whole time. So people just get blasted when they come to our events. Now all time. Which are you guys going to have 12X games this year? Yeah, look. Look at the last one I got. My face got. This genius I got I it looks you got my face. You two can get my face. That's the real club. All right. We're going to go down the line. Sketchiest thing you've done on tour? Ooh. Probably eaten mall. Sushi. Mall sushi. That's all. That's sketchy. I guess if you're in the middle of a bear. Here it is. Yeah, yeah, I always think, like, if you're going to eat fish and you're in the middle of nowhere, where the fuck did the fish come from? So I get that more. That's not the sketch you sing to on. Yeah, I can't think so. Next. Next person. Next action. probably just drove, like you played a show in a drive the whole night through, like, to Phoenix. Because we didn't have a hotel. Because we got. We got fucked. There was like, we went there and there was no one in the, office so we could go into our hotel. Yeah, I thought I was going to die in those last 20 minutes. Yeah. And then we slept in a snooze parking lot, like the breakfast place for, like, three hours. You know, the Walmart parking lots are great. They'll let you hang out there? Yeah, I've spent many, many hours in Walmart parking lot. Yeah. No. Have you ever. I mean, it's it's scary. I like we were a little scary eight hours, but like the last 20 minutes, I was like, I was holding on for you guys. Ever had, like, any weird. Like, somebody tried to, like, chase you down or some weird, like, four girls driving. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. We went to Chicago and someone literally chased us. We like Chicago. Sketchy, like in the middle of Chicago. Okay, so, you know, you go to the outskirts. We drove the bus there one year and we went to the outskirts. and, I very quickly realized that we were about to get robbed and shot. Mugged? An officer had no idea. So, Ross, we used to cruise around our busses in the bus, and it would be like, kind of like you four, but it'd be like six of us ratty little snowboarders. And, I remember driving through. Do you remember that? We'll we'll drive into that theme park, Chicago. And that's when I really realized that Chicago's fucking sketchy. No, I was sleeping, but I think one of the sketchiest things I did while we were in the bus was, you know, like those glow sticks where you, like, snap them and they glow. well, I went to the in the bathroom of this Winnebago, and I cracked one open, and I started, like, squirting it everywhere, and it looked really cool. And then one of our friends was sleeping. Our filmer and I, like, got it on his face. And then it got in his eye, and I thought I blinded it when he woke up, was like, oh yeah, it's him. And I was like, oh my God, I just blinded our filmer. But have you ever in the van and you're driving at night, you can hit the ceiling with it. It's pretty cool. Well, just try not to get it in your eye. What are you girls eating like? Is, are you guys eating like Taco Bell? Are you guys eating like, lollies? Candy? Like, what are we eating? Yeah, we're eating so much Taco Bell. Like, we love Taco Bell. So go, Bell, give us any Taco Bell, Taco bell, Taco bell, no shit. I have a theory that Taco Bell and they gave him, like, $5,000 in Taco Bell money, and we ate Taco Bell. Well, like, all year. Yeah, we, we love Taco Bell. What about, like, Totino's or anything like that? Frozen. Weird. No, we just tried to find raw fish while we go looking for raw. Oh, yeah. Chloe and I eat a lot of slime. There are these, like, what are they, Dukes? They're like dukes sausage. We love our weenie. They smell disgusting. I'm not going to lie, but they're really good. They're really good. Dukes. Yeah, those guys in hotel rooms, you're mostly getting double beds. Is that you? Is there like these there? Like a group like you to sleep with each other and you just leave each other as you move around. We rotate, rotate, or sometimes we push the beds together and have a mega bed. I love that and we all cuddle. I love that else. And we have to give each other eight hugs a day. Eight hugs a day. Yeah. How many of you done today? We're slacking. I don't think I've had any. Yeah, I really want. 000 yay. Well, we have some footage laying on there right now. Where's this room? That's from Hotel Vegas in Austin. Not actually the babies. Oh, that's the the Lone Star party that we did because we love Lone Star. Bill one Lone Star. There's so many PBR or whatever. Yeah, PBR is in Vegas. What's the PBR? blue ribbon, Pabst blue ribbon. Yeah. Guys. Drink beer? Oh, yeah. Yeah, he. I didn't know the people, so I like that people still like beer. I didn't know that. I don't like. I don't like beer either. Actually, I think I'll drink. It's either fat but I'm already fat. So. And then those IPAs people are into I'm not into that. They don't look like IPA girls. Austin like, really loves their beer. Oh, they do like famous for it, right? Yeah. And it's like their own distilleries and breweries that we play that we've played breweries. Well, what about awful? It's awful. Awful because of the crowd. All the people there. Oh yeah. It's so bad. And they smell breweries. I feel like it's just like beer stink. Yeah, I don't know, it's just weird. It's like playing a hotel. That's what I would imagine playing a hotel would be like. Yeah, like a brewery in Austin. What about the food there? You guys have good, like, really good food. Yeah. The best. Is there like a favorite place to eat in in Austin? I love the place I work at. They feed me every day I like that. What's that place? Coma. Coma. Come to coma, I love it. It's really good. Do you guys have a ritual before you go on stage? Is there like, a, like, a little pow wow to, like. Yeah, we listen to Charlie X aggressively, and then we walk on to it and we walk out. Song. not always, but. Oh, a recently. Yeah. Yeah, I like that. Yeah. Brittany, did you ever have a walk out song to do what? Oh, God. Yeah. The opening credits for UFC. I'm trying. What do you guys. What do you guys think? Like, what's your favorite part about touring and then what's your least favorite part? favorite part is like, there's actually not a single better feeling than playing for, like, people that know your music and know you, and then they're just, like, feeling the energy, like, I don't know, it's just like a just there's literally nothing better. There's nothing that high, right? Yeah. The high. Yes. But the worst is probably just like not having a alone time and being like terrible sleep all the time. Like not eating enough, getting sick. Yeah. I always get sick. Yeah. We around so many people. And then you have. Are you. Do you guys do. You're like spitting on each other. So it's all right. Crowd surfing I mean that's the thing. Yeah. I always get sick and I'm like, oh my God, why? But I'm like on the fucking bar ground. Like, like so long people on stage are like, this is where I'm. Oh, the microphones that you share. And like, everybody's just like, sweat and spit on that. And then you go up and you just like, oh yeah. Oh, it's it's disgusting. It's really bad. Who are your guys's heroes in the in, like, the punk rock world? You not punk rock? Brittany I appreciate it. Brittany Spears, Britney Spears. Yeah. Oh, she fucking lost today. No, I think she's finally got it. I get it all is rock and roll. She's. Yeah, she is punk rock. Have you seen her Instagram? Oh yeah. She's awesome. Yeah. Well the more I watch, the less I understand. I love the knife thing. That went really big to everything. Where she was like. It was a real samurai. Was it not real nice? It had to be. It was for Halloween, she said. And she said though you got to listen to her audiobook. That's for I love that she just had that whole thing at what was it at the in LA. Oh my gosh I don't know. Chateau Marmont. She had like no she had like she had a new freak out at Chateau Marmont. But the thing is, is Chateau Marmont is just like, notorious for just debaucherous behavior. And the fact that that was her, like, last big breakdown was at the chateau. I mean, that's where it led Zeppelin took motorcycles down to the side. Somebody died there. Somebody. yeah. Joe Pesci, Joe Pesci, dog Pesci. Is it was it Joe Pesci? I hope so, because that would be, oh, if we got that wrong. Well, no, what I'm saying if what if he's alive and we just. Yeah, we need to Google that. When you guys went to LA or go to LA, like, was there like a place that you wanted to go check out? Like, obviously like it's pretty Hollywood has some pretty iconic bars or places did you guys go to like the Whiskey a Go Go or any of those clubs? Roxy. No, I do want to go to the whiskey, but whiskey, since we remember, we didn't have time. Yeah, tours kind of just like you get a city and then you play and, like, especially when I've been. Yeah. If you go like us, it's easier, but we don't have. You're in the band. You're the van life. You have it like I guess it kind of feels like you're not, you know, you're in a different city every day, but it almost feels like you're in the same place. Yeah, definitely. Right. It's like. It's like Groundhog Day. It's like new club. Yeah, yeah. Everybody's like, oh my God, it must be cool. You like, seen so many cities and like, yeah, I've seen them. But it's like through, like blurry hungover eyes and it's for like two hours at a time. Yeah. Like in the venue, sound checking and. Yeah. Yeah. When do you guys plan on writing new music or do you do that while you're on tour? We have. Yeah, some stuff ready. I have some stuff. When do you. When, when will you, like, know that that's going to be ready to be performed or you want to like, debut it? Would you ever just play it in front of an audience and see how they react? And that could push it forward to record it? Yeah. Usually we we try to test those. Yeah, yeah. The waters with the crowd crowds because we're like, I mean we were a live band before. We were still like not very good at Spotify and like all that stuff quite yet. So definitely like showing other people first is a big step in figuring out if it's worth recording. Yeah. And how do you know that they love it. They just rage to it. You can feel the energy. You can, you can tell when a crowd's like me. But there is, we did record a song that I wrote that's like really different than like kind of anything that we've done that was something that I was like, I don't even want to show the crowd, we're just going to go for it. We're just going to see like we played it live. But you know what I mean? Like they're they're they're exceptions to things. Are there songs that you guys have made that you're like shit like this song. We just not going to play it live. But it's it's a song that you like, but it's just not going to work on stage. Now. We kind of just go for it. Like our set is kind of all over the place. That's why I like, don't like being called a punk band necessarily, because we have an acoustic song. We are very metal song, like we have very different, like influences. I never want to be in a box of like, where's the punk band? Which they're going to call us forever. We're going to be an all girl punk band forever, which is fucked up, but I don't know, whatever. Yeah, I mean, I guess it's a label, but I guess, I guess it's it's you're not. No one's really doing what you girls are doing, so. And the fact that you do push the different genres, I think it's, it's very smart and like, you're not, you know, what are you girls think of, like, pop music? Oh, hello. Oh. Sabrina Carpenter, we love you. We want to go on tour with her. We just realized, like, this tour, we were, like, sitting there like this and, like, Black Sabbath and title fight for so long, and then, like, a pop song came on in a bar and we were like, oh, this is good. This is like mindless music. you know, I hate my eyes. Go a different ways and listen, you know, pop can be I don't know if I was so good, like, even, like I grew up on like Prince. Yeah. Madonna. Yeah, yeah. And Bowie and we just are like, if it's good music, it's good music. I don't know, I hate being like, I only listened to this John Roth like, fucking okay, you're not a real musician. That probably violates the woman's aura. What do you think about this? And obviously you're in Texas. Texas. So you're around it. But this new not new, but how like, countries kind of become more mainstream. Do you girls like country? Is there country singers? Oh, I love old country. We're we're we're from Texas. So like Willie Nelson. Well yeah. I don't like, like the new, like, country stuff, but like Willie Nelson I just saw him I saw him at Stagecoach. Yeah. Snoop Dogg came out with him. Oh. Snoop Dogg, I love him. I feel like roll me up in smoke me when I heard they played it. Yeah. That's awesome. Can you sing it? That was cool. No. Oh, yeah. Okay. She know it's up the back. Yeah. I was thinking a little bit. I sing a little bit. but yeah, it is. Yeah. You guys are going to start getting ready for a show soon. Yep. like real soon. the lines are set today for 35. So what do you guys going to do after this? To get prepared? get something to eat. I need to pee pee. Yeah, I I I can't say that. No. Right now, I feel like you can say that. You gotta take a shit. No. Yeah, sometimes. Like, is it a I have to pee before I get on the stage. Otherwise it would be bad. And it's proven to be bad before. Oh, let us, like, tinkle a little bit. That's where this song comes from. Okay, now we're getting a little back into the for the end. What about, like, eating? Is there like, can you eat when you play or do you want to go like that? Oh, we one time we had like sushi cigarets. Oh, boy. Her work gave us so much free sushi. And I was so worried I was going to throw up like projectile vomit everywhere. It was really bad. Don't eat a bunch of raw fish. Don't ever shop fish before a show. Especially like mall fish. Well, it wasn't, it was. It was good fish. I'll give you that bear. But yes. Don't. Don't eat more poké or you're going to play a show in, like, a fucking tiny venue that's super hot. You will. Yeah, suffer the consequences. Are you girls partying while you're performing? Are you, like, drinking or, something? You said party. Party? Yeah, my whole party. Was a party sometimes. I mean, I feel like you guys are potty party on stage. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a little teen club then. Yeah, sometimes when it's just hot enough, there will be a little thing. Although it it'll come out. So I'll all used to have. He has like a small bladder, I guess. And he used to have a bucket. Hey yeah I drink. He said he would go this way, but he would also dunk his head in the same bucket. Yeah, well. Well, I think before he peed in it, he got his buckets mixed up. Yeah. Not I get buckets just like that. Like a piss bucket. no. Like I'm gonna hold in my pee. just like for my hair. Like, if I like, like I like, cool off. I got, like, a tomato after show you, you go, oh, I go so red. Oh, my God. I'm like, I'm moving. You know what? I just get ya. It's really bad. And then I feel like run off stage because, like, I just look like a tomato. Have you seen the stages yet? Yeah, yeah. You know where you're going to climb it. Move. Not your route, I don't know. Let's see. Yes, I like that. I really like that. You'll see it sometime. Yeah. Oh we're coming. Yeah. You're coming, you're coming I can fuck. Yeah yeah yeah. No, no. Okay okay. Danny. He's going to be. Yeah, he's going to mosh pit. I'm pretty good at mashing. Yeah, yeah. Sick. I look better be pushed around a little bit. Good. He loves getting pushed around. What's your favorite punk show you've ever been to? I mean, my first, like, CD was like Dead Kennedys, so I grew up like Super Skate rat, right? So, like, all that kind of, I mean, I went to a Social Distortion show actually, here in Vegas years ago. That was a really fun one because it was like kind of a fun crowd. of slam dancing. I think one of the scariest mosh pits I was in was, Hatebreed or Heat Breeder with, like, Lamb of God. That was pretty wild. So did you guys know Lamb of God is no, I do there's that sick new world, right? Yeah. Don't they, like, throw blood off the stage? Is that Lamb of God? no. That's Gwar. You're thinking of war? I've never been to a war show. but obviously, I mean, huge no effects fan growing up, that's like one of my favorite all time bands that I like to hurt myself on my skateboard, too. They retired again, and they're, like, really fun live. They, like, kind of like, tell jokes and make fun of the crowd, which is kind of cool. Do you ever address the crowd and kind of. Yeah, when we first started, I used to throw apples and mustard. I think most people know, like there were bad. Oh, there have been bad. I feel like I've being bad. You just, like, had mustard packets on deck. yeah. My purse. Like, I have to keep, like, random things in there. What do you got in there right now? sometimes I have biscuits in there because I love a biscuit. Right? Yeah. And honey packets are. What? no, I just like raw dog. It, some biscuits. What I would like, I would rather have that, but that's so. Yeah, I keep a I have a raccoon tooth in my bag, too. What's a raccoon? A real raccoon, yeah. Where's the raccoon come from? I don't know. The earth. Okay. Yeah, I think that's where it is. yeah. And I found that. But, yeah. You guys ever had, like, a pet on the road? We want to. I have a dog, and she's deaf so she can come to shows. Oh, yeah. You know, sign language. Little deaf dog. And she's perfect. Okay, so you say. You say you work at a. Do you still work your other jobs as well? Yes. And it's pretty like they just give you time to go tour and they know that they have rock stars that are I've been fired from a lot of jobs because of tours. Yeah, but I'm like really good at writing a resumé now, right? It's like on tour. I'm writing a resume and sending it to different places. What's on your resume? it's just like all the things that I've worked before, and then I'm like, I quit, I wasn't fired. What's your worst job you've ever had? It was a farmer. I loved it, though I did. I did scoop goat shit for a long time. Yeah, but I kind of liked it. I don't know, I was outside, you're outside country. I worked at this. I worked at the smoothie place. That really sucked. It was just a bad environment. Yeah, and like, it was, like, cold, like. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. The actual job itself was cold. Yeah. Like, it was, like, really cold, right? I don't know, I don't know, it was it was fun. But when you go in for a new job, do you tell them you're in a band or are you kind of like, yeah, you break the news to them like a week later? I don't tell for no. Well, depends if it will help or hurt you. Yeah. I feel like it would almost hinder getting the job. And then you're like, all right, well, now, like, I applied to this coffee job that, like, no one ever gets hired at, but they're really cool and they, like, have a record player. That's cool stuff. So I was like, oh, I'm in a band like, you should hire me. And it worked. And then it was hard. So I left you like it is hard making some of those fancy coffee. No it is. I work the graves, so I, I worked from like 12 to 6 a.m.. That was difficult. And I was in school, so I just, I quit. People take coffee really serious. Yeah, I really serious. Yeah. We watched a documentary on it, like a two hour documentary. That was so part of the hiring process, really. So you learned all about the beans? Yes. Yeah. You're a barista. I was you was I was when you guys. So you get the jobs and then you're just on the road. You tell a job you don't you, you're not coming back. I'm a resume like, oh, we had this one for six weeks. I had this job for three weeks. I had this job for a month. My my job was great. They were just like, yeah, just come back. Yeah. I think you just have to, like, make friends at your job and, like, be personable. And then they'll want you to come back, put them on like, a guest list for a show. Yeah, that's the guest list. Always works. Yeah. Do you guys have a writer? Yes. What's on it? apples and peanut butter. Baby, baby, baby. Yeah. Baby. Tethers healer. I like y la. Oh, yeah. Sauvignon blanc. Oh, we get nice cheeses. Not nice, but, you know, a baguette. We get nice cheese, and then we open it and then leave it out during the set. And then we get back in our green room. It smells like feet. It's awful. Does it smell like feet? So that smells like something way worse than that. I do want to say on the record, it's John Belushi who passed. Cool. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. I think he's still alive. He is. Oh. So, how'd you get that up? I was like, oh, no. Like, well, I'm going to be here that I was rolling with you. He's in the chat. He's in the chat right now. He's like, hey guys, I'm feel alive. It's girls are you aren't. Well so punk rock boys there we go. Oh yeah. which that's going to be more fire. The first of the second one. Second, first.
