Welcome to YoungHollywood. com. I'm Oliver Trevena here at the Red Bull Studios in Santa Monica, California with the wonderful Forever the Sickest Kids.

Young Hollywood

Awes. Yeah. Any truth in that name?

Forever The Sickest Kids

Yes. Yes.

Young Hollywood

Okay, cuz you're sick.

Forever The Sickest Kids

Yeah, I mean the um had the flu H1 virus.

Young Hollywood

Okay. Let's put the conversation this side, shall we? Um where did the name actually come from? Serious note, not pig flu.

Forever The Sickest Kids

Yes, uh we were all former friends in high school and we formed a wakeboarding team and uh one of our members, his dad named their family boat that we practiced behind Forever the Sickest Boat. The name just kind of stuck and it's uh it became our band name a couple years ago and it's been something that kids really cannot get out of their heads. It's something different.

Young Hollywood

Your album, Underdog Alma Mater. Your old single, Whoa-Oh. Yes. Great. That obviously put you on the map. Now the new single. Probably no craziness, no nothing happening on tours, no no. Just chilled. Drink lots of tea. You read a lot and drink tea.

Forever The Sickest Kids

We got to bed around 5:00 p. m. usually. Yeah. That depends on if our set's after or before 5:00 p. m. , but we try to get in bed by 5:00 p. m. every night.

Young Hollywood

So, young viewers watching out there, hard work does pay off. When your mom and dad say go to bed, they mean it. It worked for these guys. I think you're all lying again. Um tell us Tell me a crazy crazy tour story.

Forever The Sickest Kids

We got sponsored by Harley-Davidson motorcycles. Um but they required us to attach a trailer hitch and pull a flat trailer with six Harley-Davidsons across country. Apparently, our merch trailer wasn't made to have a trailer hitch attached to it and the weight of the six motorcycles was too much. As we're going through Minnesota, the motorcycle trailer actually detached from the back of the bus, causing a multi-car pile-up.

Young Hollywood

Okay. What's your favorite place where you've been?

Forever The Sickest Kids

Forever The Sickest Kids

Yes. It is. We actually uh just got a tattoo on our board up there it says Forever the Sickest Kids. We had uh Kat Von D come in and do that.

Young Hollywood
