While on their fall mini-tour, the Indie supergroup boygenius stopped by the studio to join Zane Lowe to share what they've been up to and why they chose to release their EP 'the rest.'
Julien Baker, Lucy Dacus, and Phoebe Bridgers give some insight into how they maintain a strong connection when emotions flare on tour and how they set emotional boundaries with their audience. They share an inside look at life on tour, from stick + poke tattoos in Forest Hills to balancing creating music for their collective with solo projects.

@coachholly21 6 ай бұрын

I agree with the sentiment that Julien comes off as a "one-man band." She sounds so complete on her own. I was lucky enough to see her solo at the Fairmount in Montreal. She was on stage, just her and her guitar, and the room was so silent you could've heard a pin drop. She's just so encapsulating and enrapturing all on her own.

these three are truly, individually and collectively, some of the most talented people i’ve ever come across musically. i don’t think enough people appreciate the complexity of their brains. anytime i listen to their music or listen to them talk, i feel like im witnessing history.

i always thought bite the hand was about a one sided relationship but hearing that it's about the one sided relationship between fans and artists makes it make 1000% more sense and I'm losing my mind. I love them 10x more now because they nailed that on the head. Wanting so badly to be friends with your favorite celebrity because you just think you'll click but it's just not meant to be. wow.

The Christian joke at 25:35 and Zane absolutely not getting it. Love them so so much. Also, hard relate to Lucy being obsessed with Li Young Lee and forgetting how pornographic his poems are until you go to read them outloud.

@thevampiresliars 6 ай бұрын

I didn't get it either, could you explain it to me please? I'm kinda new here, does it have to do with the religious themes in Julien's music?

@zavs350 6 ай бұрын

@@thevampiresliars I'm honestly not sure if I got it as well, but if I had to guess --- it might have something to do with the whole confession thing in vacation bible schools or on retreats. You know, that thing where they make you sit in a circle, someone starts playing solemn music, then you say what you want to whoever or whatever's up there.... and then people start crying. That's at least how I understood it, since I experienced it lmao Both Lucy and Julien were raised Christians (Lucy's irreligious, Julien I believe still is but somewhat agnostic, while Phoebe's atheist), they tackle religion pretty frequently in their music.

I feel like the supergroup/solo career discussion is most interesting with boygenius cause when i think of supergroups i think typically people who were in wildly famous bands that then got together later in their career for a band that is comprised of super stars. But boygenius were pretty popular as individuals but not nearly as big as they are now that they have combined forces. Medium names got together and became bigger names and then split to do more solo, rather than super big careers that end and then new band is super group but theres no back and forth. It’s such a good twist for a modern era of music

Powers feels like you’ve reached the top of a mountain climb I think Julian and Zane were talking about the same thing. The finished product looks like an amazing feat that begs congratulatory praise, all the while the one who accomplished it is exhausted yet still triumphant, but it still so focused on the task at hand.

I know so little about this place. You are very special to me. I relate to you in ways that I haven’t with many others since this has began. Normal, and connected, which I value more than anything else in this place. I couldn’t give you more profound thanks. Really, real and honest thank yous for your support when there wasn’t any elsewhere. You are beautiful, you are smart, you are talented and you are exactly good and preferable people in the absolute sense imo. And rock stars : ) of course. I don’t know what comes next but I know I continue on my struggle. I don’t know how but I know there are things still going on and that I should continue on in politics like I have as best as I can. There is nothing more I’d like to do than be in the company of people as caring as you, as cool and preferable as you because I know you would be there for me in important ways. Maybe one’s only people my age could help me with. But that is not what is on the table right now and I have to continue inwards in ways that are different than preferable. Different but ideal still in many ways. And I hope to make you proud, and I’ll see you soon and we’ll hang out! Love you all, sincerely Tim
