We did also semi-threaten Ash on a groin.
Do you know what a groin is?
Like going out to, so I don't know, probably an American word for it, I don't know, but
it's like a big [Bb] concrete jetty that goes [E] out into the sea.
And we all lived by the sea.
And we took Ash there at about midnight in the middle of the rain.
Make him walk the plank?
Yeah, pretty much.
And [G] we said, like, look, are you going to join or not?
If you said no, we'd [Bb] push you in.
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [A] _
Hey friends, it's your girl Emily Kerl.
We're here at our iHeartRadio studios in New York City hanging out with Lovejoy.
Can we give it up for Lovejoy in our office?
_ [F] Nice to see you guys.
[D] We're glad [A] to have you here.
And this is an eventful New York trip because last night you played your first [Bb] ever New
York City show, sold out show.
How are you feeling today?
Yeah, great.
Amazing.
Amazing.
Buzzing.
Tired.
Tired?
But yeah, no, it was really good.
You slept in a little bit on accident, but you're here.
Yeah, not my [Abm] fault.
Phone died.
My [Ab] alarm didn't go off.
You know, but [N] yeah.
And then tonight you're playing your sold out show at Mercury Lounge tonight, right?
How are you feeling for that?
How would you describe your show?
Let me ask you that.
Loud.
Shouty.
Yeah?
Yeah.
And I'm sure it's nice to play a sold out show.
Like, that's got to feel good to have all your fans in the city.
Yeah.
Yeah, absolutely.
Absolutely.
Yeah?
Very humbled.
What is, like, your favorite song to play live that you feel like the crowd gets the
most hype for?
Concrete.
I [Eb] love the fall.
People would jump in for the fall.
The fall, yeah.
But, like, concrete is a good one to lighten the set with, for sure.
[N] Audience visits.
Now, you guys are from the UK originally.
Give us the backstory.
How did you all come together?
How did we form Lovejoy?
How did everyone meet to be a part of the band?
Well, I have a very big magnet, and Joe walks around with a lot of iron in his pocket, so
it's just natural that he kind of gravitated towards me.
And then the others kind of like, you know, have you ever had one of those toys where
you, like, draw the mustache on the guy?
Yeah, that's kind of what we did with these two, and they all just kind of joined us.
So have you known each other forever?
Is this, like, a way back?
I've known Joe for pretty much longer than forever, but these two, I met him at a burger restaurant.
Oh, really?
Yeah, and Mark I found on Fiverr.
Oh, Fiverr, yeah.
So a website for, like, buying Mark.
_ You're Marking.
Wait, and then, so how did you meet at a burger shop?
How did that go down?
He was wearing a bass on his back, and I was like, do you want to be in a band?
And he went, yeah, and so I gave him my address.
So when was the first moment that you guys were like, okay, I think we're onto something,
like, this is good for us?
When we found Mark.
So Mark is a missing piece.
Mark kind of glued it all together.
We did also semi-threaten Ash on a groin.
Do you know what a groin is?
Like, going out to, so I don't, it's probably an American word for it that I don't know,
but, like, it's like a big concrete, like, jetty goes out into the sea, and we all live
by the sea.
And we took Ash there at about midnight in the middle of the rain.
Like, make him walk the plank?
Yeah, pretty much, and we said, like, look, are you going to join or not?
If you said no, we would have pushed you in.
We just pushed you in.
Oh, my, was there any other rituals for the band?
He knew too much, so we had to have an escape plan.
Had to have it.
What about the name?
Where does Lovejoy come from?
Our mate, Benedict.
And how did that come about?
It's just his surname.
Yeah, it's his surname.
We fancied it, so.
Now it's ours.
Okay, so let's talk about, you released 2021 Pebble Brain, which was exciting.
And then your fans have been asking about new music.
Are you currently working on new music?
What can you tell us?
Yeah, we got new stuff beginning next year. Any teasers?
No, you can't say anything?
Can't say anything.
Well, come to a show and you can say a couple of things.
Oh, we're playing Climb?
The problem is I would love to say stuff, but then I'll just be wrong, and then everyone
will get angry at me.
I did, originally, this new EP was supposed to come out middle of 2022.
Oh.
So, and I was like, yeah, summer.
Now I just don't say anything, because I don't want to be wrong anymore.
Okay, that's fair, that's fair.
Well, we thought we could, our audience get to know you a little better.
We're going to play a little game called Most Likely To, which I think will be really
fun for you guys.
So I'm going to give [D] you a scenario, and you tell me who in the band is most likely to do that.
Sound good?
Yes.
Okay, who is most likely to take the longest to get ready?
[Gb] What?
Really?
Just based off today?
Or Joe.
Me?
Or you, yeah.
I like to have long showers.
Oh, [Eb] that's good.
Yeah, I guess just based off today, it would have to be me in that case, but I'm usually
up first, so.
Not today.
Wait, this is funny, because my next one is, who's most likely to sleep through their alarm?
I'm guessing it's_
You [Gb] literally did it today.
I can't argue that point.
[Eb] I'm like, Joe too, but yeah, definitely me.
It's happened [Gbm] so many times, like through my [Fm] exams and stuff at school, it was, yeah,
[N] not good.
Okay, who's most likely to make everyone in the band laugh the hardest?
Yeah, definitely that.
Probably, yeah.
Aw.
Where's David?
That's a good one, that's a nice one.
[G] What about who's most likely to order for the table?
[D] _ The business cards.
_ What does order for the table mean?
Like, order for the, you know, you go to a restaurant, it's like someone orders all
the apps, all the food.
[A] Yeah, Dave.
You have to team back there.
It's gotta be [G] Dave, yeah.
Okay, what about who's most likely to be on a reality TV [D] show?
Yeah.
Ooh.
I don't think I'd want to be, [Bm] but.
Which one would he be on, if he was on one?
You might see him on the Watchers reality TV.
Love Island?
[D] You've got to love that.
I would not go on that.
I don't think I'd fit in.
[F] [D] Okay, so what about, who's most likely to keep up with the newest TikTok trends?
_ Yeah, I like TikTok.
Do you have a favorite, who's your favorite TikTok creator?
I don't have one, I'm [F] a for you page kind of guy.
Oh yeah, you seem as fun.
I [Gb] just scroll, I just scroll, you know, all day, every day.
It's a good life.
Yeah.
Okay, so if you all were in the movie Home Alone, who would make it out alive?
Who would be the last man standing?
Wait, people die in Home Alone? [G] What?
_ I've never seen the film.
I've never seen it.
Isn't it like a kid and then some robbers?
The sequel gets [D] crazy.
The people die?
No, I'm just kidding.
Oh, okay.
But it's on the prank, it's on the prank set.
Okay, [Bm] so who's most likely to be the last man standing in that [E] house?
Yeah, Ash.
[Gb] You should see him, you should see him on a balance beam, he's like a cat.
Really?
Cat-like reflexes, [E] go on, show us.
[Bm] _ Okay, who's most likely to date or not date someone [Gb] based on their Zodiac sign compatibility?
I don't know, I feel like Mark would, none of us really are into that,
but I feel like Mark would be the first person.
If someone came up to Mark and was like, and [E] told him,
are you a Sagittarius or something?
And he'd be like, yeah, I am, yeah.
And then [A] they'd be like, you shouldn't be with this girl.
He'd be like, well, lads, this guy came up to me and he seemed [B] really honest, so.
He'd believe it.
Is that accurate?
You'd be like, he's kind of got me.
_ Learning so much.
Okay, what about who's most [D] likely to slide into a celeb's DMs?
It can be for anything, for fun, for [Gb] a collaboration.
Message, Hurricane. _
[N] Hurricane, big game coming up tomorrow.
Look it out for you, look it out for you, Hasler.
[B] I don't know, I guess you, Ash, maybe?
Ash's like, no, yeah, maybe.
Only to send hate.
Yeah, of course.
To wish for death on them.
Okay, who's most likely to give the hype of speech right before you walk on stage?
That's a hard one.
Dave.
Yeah, I'd say it's probably Mark.
Mark's the most likely to.
Most of the time we're doomsaying before we go on stage.
We're talking about how [B] everything's going to go wrong.
But [Gb] if anyone was going to say a nice thing.
Do you have any other pre-show rituals?
I don't know.
Sitting around us, these two pacing and getting antsy.
Drinking beers.
Mark drinking too much.
And me blowing into a tube.
Wait, so what's the drink backstage?
What do you guys have?
We caught him with lighter fluid the other evening.
We had to stop him. _ _
Rock and roll.
He's a bit like a toddler with a cabinet.
So we had to stop him quite a lot.
What happens when you walk right off the stage?
Do you guys have post-show [A] rituals?
Do you go out in New York City?
[E] What's the vibe for that?
Straight to bed.
To sleep through your alarm.
[B] Until Dave's like, come on, for a beer.
Only one beer.
[Eb] Usually just go to bed if possible the next night.
[E] _ _ I love it.
I'm so excited for y'all's show tonight.
Congratulations on everything.
Before we go, [A] obviously a lot of our iHeart fans are going to be discovering your music.
[Dbm] If you could describe your music in [B] three words to them, what would it [E] be?
And also, what's the number [A] one song they should listen to?
Bodacious.
Love.
Likeable.
That's nice.
Just like [B] Joe.
That's awesome.
And concrete.
That's the answer for [E] both of the last ones.
Yeah, okay.
Okay, we'll take it.
Lovejoy, thanks for being here.
Congratulations on everything.
Can we give it up one more [Eb] time for Lovejoy in [A] our office?
Thanks, guys.
[E] Make sure you stream all your music on iHeartRadio, and we'll see you guys next time.
Bye-bye.
Bye! _ _
