Transcript
00:01Oh, oh!
00:02Did that scare you?
00:03That was loud as.
00:04I know.
00:08Hey, Refinery29.
00:08We're Ally and AJ.
00:09And we're getting ready at the Greek Theatre
00:11for our upcoming show tonight.
00:15This is the plaque that goes up on the Greek Theatre wall.
00:17Yeah.
00:18So they have all these little plaques of every band
00:19that's ever played here.
00:21So now we get to be among them.
00:22I love that.
00:23It's pretty cool.
00:23The question is, do we get to choose placement?
00:25So tonight's show is officially sold out,
00:27which is like a huge deal for us.
00:28We have never played the Greek before.
00:30This is like a big deal for AJ and I
00:33because we're from California
00:34and we've seen so many shows.
00:36We joked that we could ride our bikes here.
00:37Technically, we could.
00:38We would A, die in the canyon,
00:40because where we live is kind of dangerous for riding bikes.
00:42That is true.
00:42And B, die of heat.
00:43Exhaustion.
00:44Yes, because it's very hot today.
00:45We're just doing a little makeup touch-up.
00:46For me, a big staple is Charlotte Tilbury,
00:48Bobby Brown.
00:49Same.
00:50Benefit.
00:51We like all the same products.
00:53And fun fact, I'm doing it in the mirror right now,
00:55but I can put on mascara from the ground up
00:57with no mirror.
00:58It's a weird flex.
01:00It's a really weird flex.
01:01I think to see that our past career
01:04has kind of reignited in a way
01:06with like Gen Z and TikTok
01:07being kind of the main catapult
01:09is really neat because Ally and I
01:10had such a long period of time
01:11where we weren't releasing new music.
01:13And when the new music came back,
01:14I think it introduced a lot of people
01:16to the old material.
01:17So that's getting its own life again.
01:19My favorite thing is when an older sibling
01:20knew about our past music
01:22and introduced their younger sibling to the music now.
01:24And the younger sibling's like,
01:25this is awesome, is this new?
01:27And the older sibling's like,
01:28no, girl, this has been around.
01:29And I always think that handoff is really cute.
01:31Our dear friend and basically sister,
01:33she does our hair and makeup for our shows.
01:36And she's an amazing talent.
01:40She's been on tour with us.
01:41Yeah, she works in film and music
01:43and she's been on the road with us.
01:45So we've been through a lot of moments.
01:46I love it.
01:47It's different than what we do.
01:48I like it.
01:49I like it too.
01:50So for this show,
01:51we wanted to do two looks,
01:53but we figured it was a special night.
01:54So we were like,
01:55let's do an encore look.
01:56She got me these for the Greek,
01:58which is so sweet.
01:59And they match the florals
02:00that are being arranged around the mic stand.
02:02I think we nailed it with the looks.
02:03Me too.
02:03Shall we sound check?
02:04Yes.
02:05We're not very high maintenance.
02:06We're pretty...
02:07No, we don't have a ton of rituals.
02:08I think part of that is just because
02:09we've been doing it for so long
02:10and we started at such a young age.
02:12It's mainly like the vocal warm-ups.
02:14Boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop.
02:17Prayer,
02:19Handshake.
02:19Handshake.
02:20Band, handshake.
02:21And then, you know,
02:23maybe we'll take like a shot.
02:24Sometimes we don't.
02:26And sometimes if our voice is a little bit tired that night,
02:28we'll do hot tea.
02:29Love you guys.
02:30Have fun.
02:31Love you.
02:31Have fun.
02:32Love you.
02:33Love you.
02:34Have fun.
