Despite the fact that they love flowers, Girls are in fact NOT GIRLS AT ALL but two boys from San Fransisco who play lo-fi sunshine pop that you’d want listen to at 5am while you’re waiting for the tubes to start-up again.
We wanted to ask them about their band, but being the hilarious dudes that they are, they answered most of our questions with lyrics from other people’s songs. We’re not going to print those answers, in the same way television football coverage cuts away when there are streakers on the pitch so that other people won’t be encouraged to do it.
If someone gave you $1,000,000 for a Girls stage show, what would you get?
Well first of all, I’d like the whole place to only have candle light, and there would be every kind of beautiful flower on the stage. When the fans arrived they could take their pre-ordered drug of choice. The Vienna Boys Choir would be there singing while fans we’re being seated.
There would be trees on stage with exotic birds, and the trees would have microphones so that the birds could be brought in and out of the mix during the show. The would also be a water fall and a stream, these would also get a microphone, and fans could go and be baptized by pretty little girls during the show, and wash their sins away.
Also on stage would be lions laying down with lambs, and peacocks. Then to close the set, 30 James Dean look alikes would come out to the front of the stage on motorcycles and rev their engines and smoke, while we played Big Bad Mean Mother Fucker, and all the fans would get up and scream and do the twist.
What are your favourite things in the world/your home?
Is there a mantra by which all people should live their life?
I don’t talk much with my Dad, but once when I was drowning in misery and self loathing he wrote me a short e-mail that said – “Life can get ugly, but that doesn’t mean WE have to”. He was right.
