Transcript

00:00The world-famous KROQ at KROQ, Miles the DJ here.

00:03What's really fun about doing live radio in L.A. on KROQ is, you know, rock stars can show up at any time.

00:10And we have some sold-out shows with Royal Otis going down in Hollywood next week, and they have graced us with their presence today.

00:17Hell yeah.

00:18Pleasure to see you, Royal Otis. Thanks for being here.

00:21Three huge songs on KROQ over the past two years or so.

00:25So, like I said, I think three, yeah, we've had Linger, we've had Murder on the Dance Floor, we've messed around with Oysters.

00:32Of course, Sofa King, a huge hit for KROQ as well, and you're going to play those songs, some underplays at the Troubadour next week.

00:40Just announced Ohana in September.

00:43How's everything feeling, you know, on your side of this?

00:47Overwhelming.

00:48Yeah?

00:48No, it's good. It's exciting and nerve-wracking at the same time.

00:52I can imagine it being a lot, right? Because, I mean, the last record is kind of still having its life a little bit right now.

01:00It feels like yesterday when you played the Palladium in Hollywood, and now we're already ramping up a new album cycle.

01:06Yeah, I know, it's weird. It just keeps going. But it's been good. Yeah.

01:11I mean, you've been teasing stuff on Instagram, I will say.

01:16A little bit.

01:16I feel like things might be coming.

01:18Something's coming, yeah.

01:20The storms are brewing.

01:21We can't say when.

01:23We can't say when.

01:24We're not breaking news right now yet.

01:25I don't know when.

01:26I'm not sure.

01:26Yeah.

01:27I don't think we know when.

01:29No.

01:30Royal Lotus in studio here at KROQ, live on a Thursday.

01:35Troubadour going down next week.

01:37We have free tickets with Kevin Ryder's show from 3 to 7 later today.

01:39Also tomorrow with Klein Alley's show.

01:42Ohana in September.

01:43How did that slot come to be?

01:45I only found out today, to be honest.

01:49You just found out?

01:50Yeah.

01:51That you're playing with Hosier and Dana Point.

01:54It's a great lineup.

01:55You got Green Day on the bill.

01:56I saw that.

01:57Oh yeah.

01:57Let's see.

01:58Does that happen often when, you know, plans start to happen in the Royal Lotus world and

02:03you're kind of the last to find out?

02:05Yeah, for sure.

02:06Well, I don't think it's intentional or anything, but I think when things are moving fast and

02:12stuff, sometimes things just get mixed up.

02:15Well, let me ask you this.

02:16Now that we know that Ohana is happening with Royal Lotus and you got Eddie Vedder on the

02:19bill, you got Green Day, you got Hosier, you got Kings of Leon.

02:22How does that feel?

02:22Oh yeah.

02:23That's sick.

02:24I'm sure we'll stick around after if we can.

02:27Yeah.

02:27Check them all out.

02:28So, for anyone catching a Royal Lotus song for the first time next week at the Troubadour

02:33or Ohana in September, what should people expect?

02:39The unexpected.

02:40New songs.

02:41Oh, a new song.

02:42All right.

02:42We can say that.

02:43Yeah.

02:43Four new songs.

02:45There you go.

02:45Yeah.

02:46Four new songs at the Troubadour next week.

02:48The songs you love that you've heard on K-Rock.

02:50Royal Otis.

02:51We have free tickets later today with Kevin Ryder and tomorrow during Klein Alley Show.

02:55Thanks for stopping in, guys.

02:56Thank you for having us.
