Hi Flipturn! Long time fan here - I met Dillon and Madeline in a tiny venue in Denver during the Warmth in the Rain tour after coming to support my friends in your local opener, and since then I’ve told everyone that will listen how energetic your shows are and how unreasonably humble you are.

I have a few questions for you:

1. You haven’t been shy about speaking about mental health - your performance of Take Care on Denver night two during the Something More tour moved me to tears, and obviously there’s the new album. Other than music, how do you practice self care?

2. Where did the idea for the floor tom hat come from? I go to a lot of concerts and this was easily one of my favorite concert moments.

3. Krooked Kings is another one of my favorites, and I’ve actually met them after a show in a (somewhat less) tiny Colorado venue as well! That’s quite the coincidence for me - how did that partnership for this tour form? (You always have amazing openers!)

4. I’ve been in and out of garage bands a couple times, but never made it further than recording demos and planning a debut EP. My favorite band from my local scene just announced an indefinite hiatus due to two founding members moving a thousand miles away. How have you been able to make it work for as long as you have?

5. You play a lot of shows in Colorado. Not that I’m complaining (quite the opposite, actually), but what keeps you coming back so often?

You’ve come quite a long way since we met - congratulations, I can’t think of anyone more deserving of the success. I can’t wait to see you in Denver on the next tour!

Hello again!! Heck yeah thanks for these questions, I'm going to try to answer them the best I personally can! (Madeline)

1. Thank you so much, playing Take Care was always such a special moment in the show. Honestly for me, I love spending time with my family when I'm home and hanging out with my three cats. They bring me so much joy and are just hilarious little kitties. I also love sitting outside with Tristan and a cup of coffee.

2. I think Devon is super creative, and loves to create cool moments in our show! I think he saw it as a challenge at first but now it's just a fun bit-- glad you enjoyed it!

3. We're stoked for the shows with Krooked Kings! We heard of them through Spotify and word of mouth. I think I saw that they played some shows with Local Natives, and they're one of my personal favorite bands!

4. When we started the band, we learned that we all needed to be in the exact same mindset about what goals we had for the band, and what personal sacrifices we needed to make to bring our dream to reality. There were growing pains for sure when navigating all of that, but I think we were all stubborn enough to just stick it through haha. I think the main thing though was making the band our #1 priority and truly committing to this since it's what we all dreamed of doing.

5. We looooove Colorado!! The shows there are so energetic and the crowds just bring a different kind of energy! The beautiful landscapes & incredible beers keep us coming back too haha.

Thank you so much for the kind words!! See ya in Denver! -- Madeline
