things that i’ve been super into lately that i need to share with you guys

1. This Lesbian-owned and upcycled small shop makes the absolute coolest ties… I think these would be such a cool accessory to wear to a concert or festival! 

2. It’s roadtrip season finally, so here’s my perfect 8 hour indie folk roadtrip playlist

3. I recently got this quilted floral vest from Brixton, and am absolutely obsessed. This brand has such cool things and I’ve been eyeing them for ages, and finally made the investment. The vest is adorable to dress up or dress down, and is definitely going to be a stape in my wardrobe from now on.

movies, tv shows, and actors on my radar right now

1. Over. COMPENSATING! So funny, so real, so silly. I have one million new jokes to repeat. Such a shocking watch in the best ways! Shout out to this perfectly satirical series that was written for Charli’s discography.

2. This recent episode of TLOU was devastatinggggg. IMY Joel, but at least we still have Pedro.

3. Paul Mescal chats about his upcoming movie with Josh O’Connor in a new interview with Vanity Fair, and what he says about his costar is so wholesome I cannot wait for this movie.

BOTW: The Last Dinner Party

What does life look like for you right now?

Ins and outs lately? 👑📅🫶

In: Sowing/reaping, blue cheese martini, the wild horses of Exmoor 

Out: manicures, deliveroo, making wings out of feathers and wax then being so stoked that you fly really close to the sun

What’s your favorite hobby right now? What’s a hobby you want to get into this year? 🛹🧘‍♀️📷

Favourite hobby right now is walking whilst listening to cowboy movie soundtracks and squinting my eyes at the sun. I’d quite like to take up pottery this year.

Piece of media that’s influenced you 🎼🖼️🎬

The Lady Gaga Monster Ball in 2010 was the singular event that made me want to get into rock and roll.

If you could have any superpower, what would it be and why? 🦸‍♀️⚡️🕸️

Speaking every language in the world is the only right answer.

Any interesting/silly/fun recent tour anecdotes? 🎆🤪🙈

The last time we were in America, Georgia and I (Abigail) had a run in with the police in San Diego. We were completely unaware that you are not allowed to drink beer from a bottle on the beach (the nerve!!!) and they threatened to fine us $300 (!!!) However by the power of the Australian/British accent charm defence we were let off with a half smile and we finished the rest of our beers on the way to throw the bottles into a bin.

Is there an artist you’ve seen live that blew you away? 🪕🎫🎤

Raye at the 2024 Brit awards! We were screaming and banging our fists on the table out of sheer joy.

What’s your hidden talent(s)? 🎭💃🏓

Every couple weeks someone in the band whips out a new instrument so expect to hear some on the next record…harp…saxophone…whistle tones…harmonica in E… 

What have you done as an artist that you are most proud of? Whether it be a song lyric, a music video, a performance, etc,. 🥹👏👍

On our last UK tour we raised over £30,000 for local food banks. We felt so proud of the community we’d created and the generosity of our fans and how lucky we felt to be able to use our influence to make some positive change in the world. We’re looking forward to organising more projects across the rest of our career to raise money and aid for causes close to our hearts.

Are you excited to play All Things Go? 👏💖☁️

We can’t wait to play All Things Go!! Admittedly we haven’t heard a lot yet but the area of Washington D.C. holds a very special chamber in our hearts as it was the first place we ever played in the USA. The fans at that show were AMAZING so we can only imagine there will be a beautiful audience to greet us when we’re there.
