Random facts:

•Phoenix aren’t the only Phoenix in the music world •There’s also a Romanian folk rock group, a Hungarian rapper and a few others who go by that name •Their lead singer, Thomas Mars, is married to an Oscar winner—filmmaker Sofia Coppola •‘Lisztomania’ isn’t just a random word, it’s a term used to describe the intense fan frenzy directed toward 19th century Hungarian composer Franz Liszt

We really hope they play:

New Respect for The New Respects

By Shelby Smithey

The New Respects / Photo by Cody Myers Newcomers The New Respects are bringing a bit of old school soul to Hangout Fest this year. With twins Zandy and Lexi Fitzgerald on guitar and bass, brother Darius on drums and their cousin Jasmine Mullen on vocals and guitar, the Nashville-based group is a family affair. "The pros are that we know each other well already so we can skip the ‘getting to know you' phase when starting a band," Lexi said. "I guess that could also be a con because we know exactly how to get on each other's nerves. It's up to us to choose to use our powers for good or for evil." Influenced by Aretha Franklin, The Beatles and Led Zepplin, the group just released a their debut EP "Here Comes Trouble."

"We didn't play music together until high school," Darius said. "We always sang together, but it was just for fun until we started the band." The New Respects started last year after Jasmine and Zandy wrote a song together and someone heard it and told them to start a band. "So we did," Zandy said. "Growing up in Nashville we were always aware that there were better musicians and writers everywhere," Mullen said. "Instead of being a big fish in a little pond, we were little fish in a huge pond. I think that's why we work so hard now. We want to be great, and because we grew up around the greats, we know what it looks like." Both of Jasmine's parents are musicians

and songwriters, and the Fitzgerald's dad moved to Nashville in hopes of making a career rapping which he did for a while but ended up becoming a pastor. "As far as soul is concerned, we all grew up listening to gospel and Motown, so I feel like that's a crash course in soul," Mullen said. The band just released their third single ‘Money,' which they wrote while overcoming financial adversity when trying to get the band up and going. "It's funny because that was one of the first songs we wrote for the band and we had no money at all," Zandy said. "It's not like we're rolling in it now, but I think that season was important because we learned that we love making music because we love music and not because we love making

money. Now if this music happens to bring us a 2.4 million dollar check, we'll take that too." Mullen said that their name had to be changed when we first got signed due to legal reasons. Their first name was the John Hancock Band, but Mullen said that she's glad they changed it. "It took probably eight or nine months to find the name ‘The New Respects,’ but we felt like it was perfect timing when we finally landed on it," she said. "It's so easy to lose respect for people you're working, with whether that's band members, label folks, producers or anyone really. But we've learned that everyone deserves grace and respect and even when things don't go our way we still wanna give a ‘New Respect' to all those around us. The rule is you reap what you sow. Hopefully, we'll receive the same grace and respect when we mess up because we will." This will be the band's first time to the Gulf Coast. "The beach has been calling our names for a while now, so that's going to be fun," Lexi said." It's an honor to be playing Hangout Fest this year. We're getting paid to play music and watch amazing acts like Mumford and Sons and Chance the Rapper. It's a dream come true." {in}

THE NEW RESPECTS

11:45 a.m.-12:30 p.m. Sunday BMI Stage

Bag it up One thing you have to love about Hangout Fest is that it really is on the beach—which means bathing suits and bare feet are totally acceptable festival attire. But there are a few things we think should be mandatory for everybody, no matter what they choose to wear. Don’t worry though, this stuff will easily fit into a tote bag, maybe even a fanny pack, so your style won’t be cramped too much. 414 1

•Sunscreen Because the sun is not your friend. •Water bottle But water sure is. •Sunglasses, a hat and/or a cover-up of some kind Bonus points if you can rock all three simultaneously and still look carefree. •Cash Yes, some vendors take plastic. But good ‘ol cash money really will make things easier (and faster) for you this weekend. Just make sure to keep it somewhere safer than your pocket.

•Wet wipes and/or hand sanitizer Port-O-Potties. Need we say more? •A paper copy of the schedule and map* Sure, there's an app, but you don't want to waste your phone battery on that. •Battery support Even if you heed that last tip, you’re more than likely still going to need some extra juice to get through a full day. If you don’t have a portable charger or backup battery, there’s a phone charging station that you’ll want to make note of on the map.

*We've included both of these in this issue for you on pages 18 and 19 inweekly.net

Why we love him:

Because he’s a true original who became successful on his own terms (and he can rock a pair of overalls like nobody else)

Random facts:

•“Coloring Book” is the first streaming-only album to win a Grammy •He was also the first independent artist to perform on Saturday Night Live •He’s currently sitting at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100—with Justin Bieber, Quavo and Lil Wayne on DJ Khaled's track ‘I’m the One’ •This isn’t his first time at Hangout Fest—he played in 2014 too

We really hope he plays:

Mixtape (fingers crossed Lil Yachty shows up for this one too since he’s also playing Sunday) Same Drugs Juke Jam Angels Juke Juke Ultralight Beam (Don’t tell Kanye, but his version is almost better than the original)

CHANCE THE RAPPER 7:15-8:45 p.m. Sunday Surf Stage

Soul Suffers By Stephanie Sharp

The Suffers is a 10-piece band out to prove that they aren't just "another soul revival band." Their particular style blends influences from all over the musical map into a signature sound that they refer to as ‘Gulf Coast South,' which they'll bring right to the sands of Hangout Fest this Friday. Inweekly caught up with lead singer Kam Franklin for a quick Q&A in advance of the festival. INWEEKLY: What is the biggest change you've noticed in your sound or approach to music since you started performing? FRANKLIN: We are more focused on releasing better content. We all had day jobs when the world first heard about us. We are wearing business casual in our first few rounds of press photos. Our album was recorded in a rush in May 18, 2017

order to have a product to tour on. Now that we've paid our dues on the road, and we've discovered the type of artists we want to be, we are taking our time to focus on building that. It's a fun place to be in. INWEEKLY: What's the most underrated aspect of performing and/or attending music festivals? FRANKLIN: The sense of community. After a while, playing all the festivals almost starts to feel like a summer camp. We're on the road so often that these other acts become like a second family that we get to see a few times a year. INWEEKLY: Do you have any superstitions or rituals around performing live?

FRANKLIN: We yell on stage, with our hands in the air, to get all of the bad energy out. Some folks think we look crazy, but we go into that first song with a clear mind. INWEEKLY: If you could choose how people discover your music for the first time, what would be your ideal scenario? FRANKLIN: Live. It's the most sincere way for us to connect with our fans and deliver our music. INWEEKLY: What is one thing your fans would not be able to guess about you? FRANKLIN: More than half of the people in the band are black belts.

about the music industry, what would it be and why? FRANKLIN: The rush to put out new content. There's no patience, just this rush to create art. Most great art takes time. Some of our favorite albums took years to create, and I wish more people in the industry acknowledged that fact. {in}

Susto is a word in Latin American cultures for a cultural illness, characterized by anxiety, listlessness and emotional trauma. It's also the name of Charleston-based indie-rock band Susto, fronted by Justin Osborne. "The literal translation is soul loss," Osborne said. "It's a medical term, wrapped into Catholicism, describing a stressful moment or panic attack or just not feeling quite like yourself." Osborne majored in Anthropology, with a focus on Latin American studies, in college. That's where he discovered the term. "I totally related to that feeling," he said. "I had been in a band that wasn't going anywhere, I had just lost my religion and was going through a breakup. My life was in a serious transitional phase, so it was a very fitting name." Osborne started to write songs and played his first show in ninth grade, and from there was in a couple of punk bands in high school. At 17, Osborne started the band Sequoyah Prep School which he played in until he was 26. The band had some local success, but starting Susto, Osborne said, has given him a wider audience and a national draw. Osborne has been living in Charleston since 2005, but was born and raised in a rural town an hour and a half away. "My granddad had this guitar he gave us when he passed away," Osborne said. "It only had three strings, and he left it to me and my siblings. My parents kept it in the closet, and we weren't allowed to touch it because we would always break shit. But whenever my family would leave I would say I wasn't feeling well so I could stay home and I would pull it out and learn how to play it." Osborne grew up in a religious household, and he said that his decision to leave the church was a difficult time in his life.

"My family wasn't super strict or anything, but the belief was there," he said. "We went to church every Wednesday and Sunday, and we all went to church camp. Being from the south that is so many people's experience and it's so much a part of the cultural fabric, so when I started to go through moments of doubt I was like what the fuck? My mind was blown." Osborne said that it was a process that he had to come to terms with it. "Something happened to where I fundamentally stopped believing, and that's hard when everyone you grew up with still does," he said. "That's why the band has been so nice to have an outlet and to talk to people that have been through the same thing." Band members include Corey Campbell, guitar, piano and backing vocals, who has been with Osborne since the beginning, bassist Jenna Desmond, guitarist Dries Vandenberg and drummer Marshall Hudson, who was Osborne's neighbor and wanted to join the band after hearing the their first album. "Our bassist Jenna started playing only four months before joining the band, and now has played close to 400 shows with us," Osborne said. "Lastly is our newest bandmate Dries who is from Japan and used to be in a band called Human Resources. He also is our videographer. Everyone from the band comes from a different background." What inspired him to initially start Susto was living in Cuba for a few months. "I first went there on a school trip and loved it, so I came home, sold some of my stuff and went back," he said. "I made a record there with some people and really got inspired. I came back and dropped out of school." The band just released a new album called "& I'm Fine Today" at the beginning of this year. Osborne said that he likes to take

a couple of years to make records, but that a new one is already in the works. "The process of songwriting and planning timelines has already started," he said. "The more I've made music my job, the more I've started to really enjoy songwriting. The times that I get to sit down, reflect and write are so therapeutic so it's been a wonderful creation process." Osborne said that he's looking forward to recording the upcoming record in a brand new studio this time around. "We've been recording on a shoestring budget in a storage unit, but a friend of ours just built a new studio, so a lot of positive shit is going on," he said. "Our music community is in a good spot right now." Susto has an upcoming tour of Florida scheduled with fellow Hangout band The Head and the Heart and is excited to get a taste of the Gulf Coast. "One of my friends has got a couple of new members in his band which I'm excited to check out," he said. "I'm also excited for the beach, of course. Anyone we've talked to in the music business or who just has even been has told us that it's the most fun festival. The best part is getting to see so many great artists all in one place." {in}
