Notes About #SELFIE from the guys

So this may not be obvious, or it may be, but this song started as a complete laugh, it was a joke meant to promote a show we had at LIV in December to build buzz for the night. So we had our home girl Alexis Killacam come over and do the vocal after Drew got out of the shower with the brainwave of the song was this the dumbest idea we ever had or the smartest, we weren't sure yet. Anyway, when she came over we explained her the concept we had in mind and it took us 30 minutes to write the first 2 verses.  An hour later we had a 2 minute finished concept song that was in the style of the ever popular Melbourne bounce which was a perfect partner for it. The Bounce has this great energy and easiness to it that really caters to the hilarity of the song, but don't sleep on that drop. ANYWAY, When we posted the song at first, we were nervous our fans were going to be livid, but their reaciton was the complete opposite. The Song exploded with over 200k plays in 1.5 days. So we thought we should take it down and really beef up the drops and their melodies and add a 3rd verse. So we did just that, and pitched it to Dim Mak who we thought would be perfect for the release as they are an American label and could really partner up with us on some cool marketing concepts for it. Well, It didn't take long for them to get back to us , and vwala, 6 weeks later, here we are. We can't lie, this song, its gimmicky, it doesn't really represent the stuff we have been putting out and we struggled with that, at heart its a funny song with a great drop and lets leave it at that. BUT we hope it serves as beacon for ppl to discover us and then come see what we are really about like the 17 other tracks we have put out. That isn't to say we dont love a good #SELFIE, and to fuck around though... but this well its not Mozart... 

Some info for you to think on... #Selfies was named word of the year in the US and Netherlands. From Obama's #SELFIE photo to Lionel Messi versus Kobe Bryant's #SELFIE Off campaign, to The New York Times Articles about selfies, #SELFIE is everywhere... go on your instagram right now we bet in the last hour you will see three posts, its actually impossible to avoid... AND We all know that in todays day and age, its so much more than just music, you need a machine, a concept, and then ways for ppl to relate to it, and with this song, we dont think there is anything more true of a song. So while we dont expect tears of emotion, we think ppl will hopefully get their party on to it!

But lets not Kid, this #Selfie thing, it can be fucking annoying, hell even we hate it sometimes, but we are going to own this motherfucker when it comes to music, or thats the plan with all your help :) 

SO THANK YOU for putting up with our insistent posts about #SELFIES, and well most of all, for being a part of our FIRST EVER LABEL RELEASE  (Wooohooo) Its been a hell of a year, and we promise the other tracks we have lined up will blow your minds but first
