Oh, man a reply. I don't get these too often, so really, thanks.
And it actually has some relevant content - you are an awesome new fellow, worried_monk.
Also, I just got through reading the above interview, so another thanks. I had little idea of this band's history and start (other than what I gleaned fro wikipedia some months ago, and then promoptly forgot about). I had originally assumed this was some underground band that catered to the local club/DJ scene in CA, and yes, I was right about that, but I wasn't expecting to hear about all the acts they've toured and collaborated with so far, and all within the past 2 years. [it's pretty extensive: Lady Gaga, N.E.R.D., Jay-Z, Snoop Dogg, Pitbull, and the Black Eyed Peas, Lil Jon, etc.]
They've been a band for 8+ years and recordng music off-and-on since then, but within the past couple years, ever since they were featured on a
Fast and the Furious soundtrack, they've gooten bigger and bigger exposure, and have finally joined a major record label because of it (they say the album will be released soon, so I'm guessing it's already out.)
This was my favorite quotable from the interview: (talking about the production of the music video/single for "Like A G6")
Quote:
HitTalk: It’s a great video, too, man, that’s a good look. Is it the Pontiac G6 you’re talking about, or what exactly is the G6?
Kev Nish: It’s actually not. People say that “yo is that a G6 Pontiac?” I’m glad that people are asking and wondering about it. It’s actually a private jet, but at the time we made the song, there was a G4 out and there was a G5, so we all thought “yo, what’s the next level of fly? If you’re that fly, then you’re a G6; you’re [on] a private jet that ain’t even released yet.” And now we hear that Gulfstream put out a Gulfstream 650, which would be a G6.
