It’s an interesting group of people doing the commercials. LL Cool J, Aerosmith, they did Lena Horne, Dave Navarro did one. What made you decide to do the Gap commercial? That’s something about television shows, people really see them. Young kids, who watch “Pete And Pete,” they just know us now from that. These kids – we got a whole other audience from that. The “Pete And Pete” show – so many people have seen the show. There’s a lot of sitting around.”ĭo you see those things as a way of promoting yourselves, or just something different to do for fun? They can make it fun, or it can be a drag. The director was ‘Potsie’ from “Happy Days,” Anson Williams.

You recently appeared on the TV show “Clueless” – what was that experience like?
She came over and we did harmonies and it really brought the track up a lot.” So one night he said ‘oh, Emmy’s in town, let’s call her and see if she wants to sing.’ And of course that’s an unbelievable honour. He had produced her record “Wrecking Ball”. And I started to go back to the other way, which is to go in with a piece music, lyrics and vocals, and translate that into something with samples.”Įmmylou Harris appears on the album. There’s a lot of different ways to write, a lot of what we’d done was taking samples and writing over that. I’d been getting very into song writing, returning to basic song writing on acoustic and then translating it. We played together so much as a group touring that we decided to pursue that side of it for “Fever In, Fever Out.” We just wanted to record the live band as it was. So that was interesting.”ĭid that influence the way you wrote the most recent album, “Fever In, Fever Out”? Vivian was learning the sampled parts on the keyboard and playing them in time and we all had to re-create something that was not written by us as a band. They were not written live, they were written on samplers mostly, except for maybe two or three songs. We had to take those songs that were all sampled from “Natural Ingredients” and learn them. “The second record probably has as much sampling as the first, and that one was like, we didn’t really have our live show together until we toured for a while. Since sampling was used so heavily in the studio, did playing live pose any problems? So if anything’s spontaneous, I would say it was some of the live performances.” We did the same thing for the second record, and for the third one we really tried to get a live band. But people were like, ‘oh, it’s really lo-fi’ but we thought it sounded really slick! So we never knew we were doing anything lo-fi. I guess the first one was made with lunch money basically, on less expensive equipment, and we thought it sounded really slick. “I don’t think we were even conscious of anything changing. What do you think led to the more polished sound of “Natural Ingredients”? Your first EP, “In Search Of Manny,” seemed to have a more raw, sometimes spontaneous sound to it. That’s between eight and ten songs, a 45 minute set.” We do certain songs that people have to hear, definitely the singles from both records, we have three records, but… certain things we just have to include, like ‘Naked Eye,’ obviously, and ‘City Song’ from the first record, ‘Why Do I Lie?’ from this one. Since you have a lot of material, how will you determine which songs to perform? The number of artists performing means that everyone gets relatively short sets.
