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.
Awes. Yeah. Any truth in that name?
Yes. Yes.
Okay, cuz you're sick.
Yeah, I mean the um had the flu H1 virus.
Okay. Let's put the conversation this side, shall we? Um where did the name actually come from? Serious note, not pig flu.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Okay. What's your favorite place where you've been?
The UK, my man.
Good.
We've been there like uh three or four times and we we love it. It's like second home to us, so.
I love that. I said second home to me, so. Yeah. Actually put on the accent complete lie. Just works with the girls. Yeah. So, I'm from Texas, just like
Nice. All of you.
All right. All right. What's next on the agenda for you guys recording-wise? Is this where all the magic is made?
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.
Who would you like to collaborate with?
If I collaborate with anyone, it'd probably be um Paul McCartney.
Thank you. A little little wink.
I'm going to have to go with Fred Durst.
Nice. Look at this variation we're getting now. What's this? Celine Dion?
I'm going to have to go with Chris Daughtry.
Nice. Love that. Love that. Woo!
I'm going to have to go with John Mayer. That would be sick.
