Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 11: Last Dinosaurs
Q: What do you want the world to know about you?
I'm not in it for immortality. I don't necessarily care if people don't remember me or do remember me forever, like, um, more than anything, I just hope that in some small way, even insignificant way, if they don't even realize, like, that our music or their experience at a show or them meeting someone at a show just has, like, a positive impact on their life.
Episode 11: Last Dinosaurs
Q: What is some advice that you have for bands just trying to make it?
It's really hard because I see so many bands giving a crack. I admire them for that. Sometimes it just doesn't go, and sometimes it does. I wish I knew the formula because we'd be more successful ourselves.
Episode 10: Balming Tiger
Q: What do you want the world to know about you?
We approach our music with pure heart, joy, and love for what we do, hoping people can feel that when they experience our art.
Episode 5: Infinity Song
Q: What do you want the world to know about you?
They want the world to know that they are conduits of love and goodwill, and they have exciting shows coming up.
Episode 5: Infinity Song

They met Jay-Z through a video of their sister singing, which led to an invitation for the family to perform for him.
