Sit on the grass with Darwin Deez and find out how the band met, which bands they do (or don't) sound like, and who they would steal a band motto from.
Transcript
00:03I'm Mash Dees, Darwin Dees, Cole Dees.
00:07Well, Darwin's been writing songs since he was seven, is that true?
00:11Eleven.
00:12Eleven.
00:13Oh, the rhyme.
00:14Since we were 7-11.
00:15Yeah.
00:16And we all live in New York City.
00:20Darwin and I have been friends since we were kids.
00:22We tap danced together growing up.
00:23And Cole and Darwin, yeah but don't remember that.
00:26Cole and Darwin worked at a restaurant together.
00:30We all like to hang out.
00:33Smoke beaties.
00:35No, but once Darwin started performing, he got a group of people together he just wanted
00:40to spend time with.
00:43And on top of, Cole is a great musician.
00:47That's it.
00:48It sounds kind of like...
00:55Now tell them what we really sound like.
00:56It's like...
00:57We're good at this kind of stuff.
00:59Indie guitar...
01:00It's like we have band except we don't.
01:05It sounds like the drums but there's no drums.
01:07Oh no wait, we have a drummer now.
01:11Like Guitar Wolf without the guitars.
01:15No, no tell them what it really sounds like now.
01:17It's like an indie pop, guitar pop.
01:20It sounds like the most requested song on Australia's radio station Triple J this week.
01:28Constellations is a good starter point.
01:30Deep Sea Divers is a good starter point.
01:32Yeah.
01:32Cause it's not as fast sealish but it's still good.
01:34Then it gives you somewhere to go tempo wise.
01:36It's also, other than Lights On, it's the first one you wrote on the album.
01:39Yeah, it's the first one I wrote for the album too.
01:41My starting point as the writer.
01:44Track one is a good starting point.
01:46Track two is a follow up.
01:48Constellations is track one, right?
01:50Yeah.
01:51Constellations, I'd say.
01:51Well placed.
01:53I think we all have different models.
01:54I think that's what's cool, you know?
01:56That's true cool.
01:57I, I, I like the thrash.
02:00You, you got, you know, you and Miles are dancers.
02:03That's the real answer.
02:04Motto.
02:07My motto is, whatever Florence and the Machines motto is, I'll do that one too.
02:12She seems to be, she did some interviews on the grass like this and it's working out
02:16for her now, so.
02:17Is it really?
02:18Yeah.
02:19Cosmic Club.
02:22Cosmic Love is a motto.
02:23That's a good motto.
02:23Cosmic Love.
02:24That's her motto for her next tour.
02:26And ours.
02:27What should we, what, what should we call our tour?
02:29The summer tour?
02:30These nuts in your mouth.
02:35We'll think about it.
02:36Yeah.
