Yeah, we're doing great stuff.
How are you feeling?
I'm great. I'm very excited to uh perform.
Yeah. You're nominated for six Grammys, but you're more excited to perform. Tell us more about the performance and what we can expect.
Well, don't get me wrong. I'm excited about the the nominations as well, but to be able to perform on such a big stage. We've done the Grammys before. Now, this is our first time being nominated on camera. So crazy. So hopefully we take some home for the city of Los Angeles and all the people who support the Peas, you know?
I've been seeing you around town for years and years and years. You guys have been around. I mean, I remember having the album back in the day when I was in high school. And you guys have just stuck to it. I'm uh 21.
Nice.
Apple just turned 21. Yeah, it feels weird, you know, to be able to drink.
Now you can drink, right? Yeah. So what's going on for the weekend? I saw you guys last night on stage at the Play-dium. You guys killed it. What else are you guys up to?
Uh we have the uh Clive Davis party tomorrow. And then uh get ready for the big show on Sunday.
You guys have just kind of blown up this year in the mainstream success. You've always had it, but this year is just like the icing on the cake. What was maybe a few things that you could tell us about that was your most memorable moments?
Oprah. Yeah. The flash mob. Um 26 weeks in the number one. That's pretty cool.
26 weeks. And then we did our uh you know the first leg of our tour in uh in uh Asia, Japan. So that was you know that was good.
Now with this album, you guys really just created more of a fresh sound and it's a little bit different from your previous albums.
The who about us is that we go to clubs, dance. We will now have our DJs. So, you know, it was the the the movement of the youth. It was the pulse of the youth and you know, the electro scene really kind of inspired. And uh you know, we like to get inspired by other different sounds. You know, it's it's a it's a good thing to reinvent your sound and to to be experimental and and to try new things.
So, what's next for you guys? What are we going to see next with the Black Eyed Peas?
We're touring. So, we're coming to a city near you, a town near you. Yeah. And then eventually a country near you because we're going to be going overseas as well.
Oh my gosh. When do you find time for yourselves? And when you are hanging out by yourselves without working, what do you do?
Watch the movies, you know, bowling. You know, we like to shop in new places.
