Allstar Weekend

What's up, Young Hollywood? I'm Tatiana Diana. We are kicking it with Allstar Weekend on the set. We are on the set of their music video, Dance Forever. Yeah. Baby get up. Open your eyes. Now the world's waking up. You'll realize we'll walk to the beat. Suddenly. While we make believe.

Young Hollywood

Tell us a little bit about the song.

Allstar Weekend

Well, the song's if the the the title explains everything. It's about dancing forever. I mean, it it's a fun summer song. That's why we have it at this location. It's a cool pool party.

Young Hollywood

Why Allstar Weekend?

Allstar Weekend

Why not Allstar Weekend? I mean, you are all stars. So it makes sense. Yeah.

Young Hollywood

What would you name us?

Allstar Weekend

Fabulouousness. Fierce, right? In a box. Fab Four. You did a good job. I'm feeling the Fab Four. When Nathan and I first started making this band, we used to like record in our bedroom. We like were trying to make demos and try to get signed and get a record deal. So we recorded a bunch of songs. And while we were recording them, we were like referencing our favorite producer, this guy named Eric Valentine. And one of the songs he produced was Allstar, that Smash Mouth song that ever everyone loves or thinks is really annoying. We loved it. So, um, we uh named ourself Allstar. And then we then we wanted a two-word name instead of one-word name. So to to get the two words, we uh added Weekend because weekends are fun and we think that we're fun, even if you don't think we're fun.

Young Hollywood

For anybody who has not heard your sound or your music, how would you say that it sounds?

Allstar Weekend

Sounds like Pop Rocks. You ever had that candy? Totally. And I want some right now. Yeah, it explodes. It explodes. That's what it sounds like. I'd say like Pop Rock with a little bit of dance with a little bit of Kermit the Frog. And a little bit of Sour Patch Kids.

Young Hollywood

Do you have any embarrassing high school stories?

Allstar Weekend

Yeah, definitely. World of Warcraft. Hey, this is embarrassing, but Cameron was in my foods class. And not only in this class, but I used to have an Afro. And um, I had an Afro pick and I would pick my Afro, like, when my teacher was lecturing. And I probably got detention like every single day for doing it because I just couldn't do it non-stop.

Young Hollywood

You guys could dance forever, if it was physically possible. What would be like your go-to move?
