00:20 Tell us, how did you feel when you were first nominated?

00:23 Oh, it was lovely.

00:24 Yeah, I think it's just super nice.

00:27 So yeah, it's nice to be recognized by an industry that we look up to and like.

00:32 It was fun.

00:33 Also, we've been a band for 10 years, so it's about goddamn time we broke out.

00:38 Well, we love you.

00:41 We love you.

00:42 You are here at the Junos.

00:43 What was your reaction?

00:45 Yeah, same thing.

00:46 I was like, "Oh, we've been a band for so long and it's just like, I thought we'd

00:49 never break out and we're finally breaking out."

00:52 Yeah, no, but it is actually very lovely and it does mean a lot to us.

00:56 Yeah, it's super nice.

00:57 Absolutely.

00:58 And thank you for your music and what a big year for you all already.

01:05 You're in it all.

01:06 And I'm going to be missing you on April 2nd.

01:09 I'll be in San Francisco and that's the day I'm leaving, but you'll be there.

01:13 Tell us, what are you most excited for when touring?

01:17 Honestly, just getting time to hang out.

01:20 We get a bus now, which is great.

01:24 And that bus is just like, kind of like a little pirate ship.

01:27 We all just like hang out in and kind of feels like we're cruising around the

01:30 States and I don't know, it's just a nice time.

01:32 Absolutely.

01:33 What's your favorite part about touring with the band?

01:35 Yeah, no, it's the same thing.

01:36 And I do, yeah, we really do gravitate towards the like ship imagery of it.

01:40 Yeah.

01:40 It feels like you're on a boat sailing the seas with your friends.

01:43 It's lovely.

01:43 I just really like it.

01:44 I love it.

01:45 We're on a ship here.

01:57 Is there anything you can give us a sneak peek about?

02:00 There's some new instruments.

02:05 Yeah, there's some new instruments.

02:07 What kind of instruments?

02:08 I'm not, not going to say.

02:09 I'm just going to say there's some instruments on it that aren't on any of the other EPs.

02:12 So we have to listen, keep our ears open.

02:16 Yeah.

02:17 That makes sense.

02:18 All right.

02:19 Well, that's amazing.

02:20 And tell us, what is your favorite part about working all together?

02:24 I mean, 10 years with Good Kid, what is your favorite part?

02:27 Uh, just the favorite part is that we're still together after 10 years.

02:32 We, we've actually talked about this a lot.

02:34 We see a lot of our, uh, like quote unquote colleagues or like other peers,

02:38 peer bands, like breaking up over time.

02:40 Uh, and for us, it just feels like, I don't know.

02:43 It just feels good still where you enjoy each other's company.

02:46 We enjoy making music together and making art in general.

02:48 So, uh, yeah, kind of the same, the same thing.

02:51 It's just really nice to get to do this for so long with our friends.

02:53 You feel the beautiful energy.
