00:00It is the world-famous K-Rock and Megan Holiday.
00:03We are backstage, Coachella Day 3,
00:06and I'm here with the beautiful ladies of the beaches.
00:09Hi!
00:10Hi, you guys!
00:11Oh, my gosh, it's so good to see you.
00:13You got the glitter, too, girl.
00:15I do, yeah.
00:15You're matching our vibe.
00:16We're all glittered out.
00:18Except you.
00:19We're going to find you some glitter today.
00:23You should just rub our faces on your body.
00:24There you go.
00:25And I feel like it's going to be pretty easy back here to find you some glitter.
00:28Yeah.
00:30So, you guys, first time ever playing Coachella.
00:33Yeah.
00:34How are you feeling?
00:36This is a dream come true.
00:37This has been on our bucket list as a band for so long,
00:40pretty much since we started.
00:42So, to finally be crossing that off is such an incredible accomplishment for us.
00:46We're so excited.
00:47We have no idea what to expect,
00:49but we've really amped up our show, and we can't wait to play.
00:53Well, expect very big vibes,
00:55and people are going to be super excited.
00:57You're playing at a great time,
00:59and I know you're going to see a full tent, 1,000%.
01:02Really?
01:02We're getting worried,
01:03because we think people are going to come later in the day.
01:05We're performing at 345 till 430 at the Gobi stage.
01:10Yes.
01:10So, yeah.
01:11Hopefully people will be there.
01:11No, you're going to be good.
01:12People are coming in around that time,
01:14and there's so much buzz around your band
01:16that you're going to be one of the highlights of the day.
01:19Oh, my God.
01:20That's so sweet.
01:21Yes.
01:22Have you guys actually attended Coachella before?
01:25You've been here.
01:26You've been here this weekend.
01:27No, no, no.
01:27I've been here since Friday.
01:28Oh, okay, right.
01:29Never before this year.
01:29Okay.
01:30This is our first year.
01:31They can't get me to leave, honestly.
01:33She hasn't left.
01:35Yeah.
01:35Well, it's nice out here in the desert.
01:38It's peaceful, you know?
01:39I mean, she's kind of been having the opposite of that experience.
01:42Yeah.
01:42I don't know.
01:43Yeah.
01:43There's so many hot girls.
01:44Okay.
01:45There's so much to do.
01:47Yes.
01:47Lots to taste.
01:49Yes.
01:49Oh, look at this.
01:51Oh, look at that.
01:51Chaos is her girlfriend this weekend.
01:55Oh, my God.
01:56And do you guys think you're going to be able to watch any bands today?
02:00Yeah.
02:00Yeah.
02:01Like, as soon as we're done, kind of wrapping up our press,
02:03we're going to check out some bands.
02:05We're friends with the keyboard player who's playing with Jenny.
02:08Okay.
02:08So we're going to go check her out and maybe see some post.
02:11It'll be cool to see Posty.
02:12Yeah, definitely.
02:13I will be staying, even though I've inhaled so much dirt over the weekend,
02:17I really want to catch some of Post's sets.
02:20Yeah.
02:20It's going to be really good.
02:21He's supposed to be so good live.
02:21Oh, he's incredible.
02:22Yeah.
02:23Yeah.
02:23Yeah.
02:23Me and my best friend, she's in there sitting on the toilet,
02:27but not using it.
02:29But she's obsessed.
02:30We've seen him before, and he's absolutely incredible.
02:32That's cool.
02:33I was sitting on the toilet eating a sandwich earlier today.
02:36That's what we have to.
02:37We got to, you know, make use of the space in the trailer.
02:40Yeah.
02:40And that's the best air conditioning spot right there.
02:42That'll be a good sound clip for you guys, I'm sure.
02:46Play it out of context.
02:47Using I was on the toilet later.
02:50That's crazy.
02:51You can write a song about it, you know?
02:53So I've been asking the artists that I've been interviewing
02:56if you could bring out a surprise guest,
03:00because that is what everybody does at Coachella, right?
03:03We are doing that.
03:04Oh!
03:05Our own guests.
03:06Oh, snap.
03:07We can't tell a lot.
03:08We're not allowed to say yet.
03:09Dang it.
03:10It's just going to be a fun one.
03:11It's not a surprise.
03:12It's someone who everyone kind of knows where Bud's with.
03:15Anyway, it'll be great.
03:16Oh, my gosh.
03:16Well, I'm so excited.
03:18Okay, this is great, because you're the first ones
03:20who are actually doing this and bringing out a surprise.
03:22So this is great.
03:23We have two, I think.
03:24We have two.
03:25We'll see who shows up backstage before the show.
03:27We think we have two.
03:28It might be one.
03:29And if Bernie Sanders is still here.
03:31I know.
03:31I know.
03:32That was so epic.
03:33And it was so funny, because we were talking about Bernie
03:36just randomly yesterday, and then I was like,
03:38oh, my God, he's here.
03:40Yeah, we did.
03:41We manifested Bernie, and it was so great.
03:44So if you guys could curate your own festival lineup,
03:49three headliners, who would you choose?
03:53Here, you guys, you pick.
03:54Yeah, yeah.
03:55You can't trust me with this.
03:57Why don't we all pick one?
03:57Yeah, yes, you all pick one.
04:00I mean, Charlie, for sure.
04:02Okay, yes.
04:03You go.
04:04I was going to say Charlie.
04:05Fred again.
04:06I'm a big Fred again fan.
04:07Nice, yes.
04:08Get the Brits.
04:09Yeah.
04:09Do it to the British.
04:10Here's our last dinner party.
04:11Oh, there you go.
04:12That's my headliner.
04:13Oh, that's awesome.
04:14I feel like you guys would be so good to go on tour together.
04:17We would love to.
04:18Yeah, we're trying.
04:18Yeah, let's put it out there.
04:19Let's manifest that for you guys.
04:22Abigail, sign the contract.
04:24Oh, that would be so awesome.
04:26I want to congratulate you guys on your new single,
04:29Last Girls at the Party.
04:32Can you talk a little bit about just, you know,
04:35inspiration behind the song?
04:36Oh, I think if anybody meets us or understands our vibe,
04:40it's very clear that, you know,
04:42you can't kick us out of a party.
04:44The party doesn't start or end until we're there.
04:47Sorry, that's just the way it is.
04:51Oh, I can see that.
04:52Yeah.
04:53And we wanted to make a song that celebrates all of the chaotic women out there,
04:58which I think this song does.
05:01So it's for you, Chaos Queens.
05:03Yes.
05:04I think the song is about just, like, living in the moment, embracing having fun.
05:09And, yeah, and just, like, wanting to never leave the party.
05:12Yeah.
05:13So I think we need to focus on that right now is having fun
05:17and being present with wherever we're at.
05:22Absolutely.
05:22Because that's all that we can control, right?
05:23You know?
05:24For sure.
05:24100%.
05:25And I want to talk about the new era of the beaches.
05:28So tell us about the new album and when it's coming out
05:31and just a little bit of background.
05:33It's coming out later this year.
05:36It's called No Hard Feelings.
05:37We're really proud of it.
05:38Even though we put out multiple albums,
05:40we're kind of considering this as a sophomore.
05:42It's kind of just, like, a little bit of an evolution from the last one,
05:46but still kind of carrying with the same theme.
05:48But it's a little bit more about self-exploration
05:51and, like, kind of digging into, you know, all the flaws that we have
05:57and kind of writing about those and focusing on those.
06:00And, yeah, there's some breakup songs.
06:02There's some party songs.
06:04It's the same kind of, like, chaos and energy
06:06and that really nice balance of happy and sad that we're all about.
06:09I would say we're, like, Blame My Ex is very much about, like,
06:12my breakup experience.
06:13I think this one is, like, really a conversation amongst the four of us.
06:18I don't know if there's any Sex and the City fans out there.
06:20Oh, yeah.
06:20But I was very...
06:21I think there's a couple.
06:22There's a couple.
06:22One or two.
06:23But I was very inspired by, you know,
06:25I was really inspired by the conversations that the girls have
06:29about their relationships and how a lot of them,
06:32even though they're having very different relationships from each other,
06:35there's a lot of similar themes that evolve from relationship to relationship.
06:40And I really liked looking at sort of the intermixing of, like,
06:44how all of our relationships are kind of similar,
06:48even if they're kind of different.
06:50Yeah.
06:50Well, and I think that everybody listening is going to have
06:53a big relatability to that as well.
06:56Yeah.
06:56You love to P&T with your girlfriends.
06:59Of course.
07:00Of course.
07:01I'm very nice to you.
07:02Yeah.
07:02Yeah.
07:03She literally knows everything about my whole life.
07:06And I did just go through a breakup recently.
07:08Oh, shit.
07:09It's okay.
07:09It's okay.
07:10It's okay.
07:10Well, the album will be for you then.
07:12Yeah.
07:12It will be.
07:13And I believe it comes out August 29th.
07:15Yeah.
07:15Oh.
07:15Did we know that?
07:16Yeah.
07:16Yeah.
07:17Oh, I think it was awesome.
07:17Okay.
07:18I didn't say that.
07:18Okay.
07:18Yeah.
07:19You guys know I do my little research.
07:21My answer was later this year.
07:23Yeah, I know.
07:24And I was like...
07:24It's coming up.
07:25I was like, oh, I'm throwing in the date for sure.
07:27You know what I'm like, Apple emotions?
07:30Yeah.
07:30Spinning.
07:30Yeah.
07:31That was my brain.
07:32Yeah.
07:32And it's just not happening.
07:34Yeah.
07:34When that happens to me as an interviewer, it's not good.
07:36It is not good.
07:37Oh, no.
07:37But you guys, I'm so excited to watch your set today.
07:40I'm so excited for your new album to come out.
07:43And it's just so amazing to just watch you keep blowing up.
07:46That's where you belong.
07:47Thank you so much.
07:49Thank you for all the support.
07:50We love being a K-Rock band.
07:52It's so cool.
07:53Yeah.
07:53It's an honor.
