Guest

My band is stretched, it's all alone, collecting dust and.

Young Hollywood

So we're hanging out on the set of your newest music video and this is kind of a cool set, very real, high school.

Guest

Yeah, it's tied into uh, you know, it's a whole prom thing. We got this movie coming out called We don't have the movie coming out, but the movie coming out called Prom and uh the video's kind of tied into that. So we uh, we're kind of like crashing a prom and having a a parking lot party. I had a call that any of my friends you know, it's crazy they say there's a budget to go down for music videos, but we built this entire set.

Young Hollywood

We showed up. It was I mean, you built this entire high school and made made these high school students appear. It's pretty insane. I mean like having colors in high school hall. So talk to me about your high school experiences. Were you guys like totally popular?

Guest

It was kind of a little bit it was it was fun. We had a great high school. obviously I mean all all of our band members except for one, four out of five were from that high school. So it was a good thing for us, but most of the time was spent, you know, playing hacky sack and skateboarding and playing music. Talking about girls.

Young Hollywood

So tell me about the song, Can't Keep My Hands Off You. What's the concept of the song? Obviously, I feel like it has to do with something romantic.

Guest

It's kind of about fooling around. Uh, not only just sexual. Well, it's actually about being, you know what, when when you meet someone and you uh for the first first few months, you're making out, you're holding hands, you're doing a lot of stuff. And the song's about that. It's about really giving up everything else in life and forgetting your the stuff you have to do. My Blackberry filled up with email. My phone calls go straight through to voicemail.

Guest

No. Second guest: Oh yeah.

Guest

Nope. Yeah, we got some some good fan stories. We got a lot of like crazy fans. Um one fan I remember, I think it was in Canada somewhere. We she this girl was in the crowd. She was on some guy's shoulders and she turned around and lifted her shirt up in the back and she had a tattoo of my face about this big on her back. And we checked and it wasn't a scratch-off. It was the real deal. Second guest: There's even worse.

Young Hollywood

What is worse? Second guest: There's well I wouldn't say worse, I would just say a little more intense. Dedicated.

Young Hollywood

What what else? Second guest: Girl did our five faces on her cleavage and then she asked us to sign it and she came back the next to the next concert and the signature were that tattooed. So I felt really bad because I kind of botched mine a little bit. I was kind of doing it fast and then it was tattooed.

Young Hollywood

You didn't realize it was something that was permanent for her. Second guest: I We kind of told her that we were hoping she would have, you know, if you would have told us, we would have we would have made it a little more perfect. Mine was all up in her neck.
