Interview and words by Kyra Jade
It's that exciting time of year where Australia goes absolutely mad for Good Things Festival. All the speculation surrounding who will be on the line-up and most importantly who can guess the most correctly to earn all bragging rights!
LØLØ has secured her spot on this year's amazing line-up along which means she is finally coming to our Aussie shores to serenade us! Known for unapologetically expressing her emotions and thoughts through her music, she's out there saying the things that ultimately make us girls, well girls. Worn-out taglines for women like, "don't be such a girl about it" OR "you're being dramatic" only fuel LØLØ to write her next hit song that's guaranteed to turn the sourest of souls sweet again.
LØLØ has taken every opportunity that's come her way since being discovered on Spotify by non-other than Chad Gilbert of New Found Glory. With festivals like Lollapalooza, Sad Summer, Slam Dunk, Download, Rock Am Ring and the iconic Warped Tour under her belt, she has cemented her place firmly in the alt/ rock/ punk scene, thus laying down the modern blueprint for pop-punk.
This chat was fun; my thick 'okka' accent took the wheel as we dug into the lore of our native animals. Upon reflection I was hardly selling Australia, more likely scaring the living daylights out of LØLØ. It's not my fault kangaroos actually want to fight you, our spiders are the size of dinner plates and koalas have STD's - don't shoot the messenger!
I have to say that researching LØLØ's journey to success was something I really enjoyed. There's so much more to this talented musician then meets the eye - an interviewer's dream guest you could say! Admittedly, it can be hard to connect with people through Zoom on a strict 15 minutes timeframe. This wasn't the case here, I was lucky to be greeted by a kind smile that gave way to a super fun and easy interview. I left the call happy knowing there are amazing people like LØLØ in the industry for young artists to look up to.
Check out the full interview below, I hope you enjoy.
Until next time, legends!
