Matt and Kim / Original Photo By Matt Miller The energetic dance-pop duo Matt and Kim are returning to Hangout Fest this year, and this time it’s to headline the official Thursday Kickoff. Matt Johnson and Kim Schifino, the couple behind the infectious drum beats and catchy keyboards, just released a surprise EP called “We Were The Weirdos.” They recorded it in between Coachella weekends and are proud of the accomplishment, for different reasons than you might think. “It takes us so long to learn our own songs,” said Johnson in a phone interview with Inweekly. “We learned to play one song off of it by the next weekend, so to us it was a big accomplishment.” Johnson said that they started writing the four songs the week before Coachella and didn’t know that they would finish them before the following weekend. “We thought, ‘we have to do this now’,” Johnson said. “You have to act on inspiration, or it’ll slip through your fingers.” The new EP returns to a more raw and underground sound for the duo and encapsulates the band’s spontaneous nature that is immediately apparent in their live performances. It also features one major departure from the Matt and Kim you may be accustomed to: guitars. “I came from playing guitars in bands,” Johnson said. “We kind of always pushed 010 1
the idea of guitars away. We always thought we had to strictly be a keyboard and drums band. But the reality is, we can do whatever we want to do.” Johnson said that when the two first started making music it was considered surprising not to feature any guitar, but that in today’s musical landscape, it fit well with what they wanted to do on the new EP. “It feels good to sing to a guitar, too,” he said. “Different sounds have a marriage like that.” The EP references a time when Matt and Kim first came into music and themselves in their youth, which was heavily rooted in the punk, hardcore, rave and the then underground Brooklyn scenes. The cover art even features a teenage Johnson in thick-rimmed glasses with bleached blonde spikes. “It’s my senior high school yearbook photo,” Johnson said. “If you were wondering about my hair, I did have a process involving bar soap. It’s called ‘charging it.’ I would bleach it, and then get it to stand straight up with the soap. I’d put it on my hands and run it through my hair. I made it work.” Before recording the new EP, Johnson and Schifino took a little time for themselves last winter to unwind and recuperate. “The first few months, it did help,” Johnson said. “We got to spend a lot of time with our friends. It was the longest break we have
ever taken. But in the end, it made me miss it more and more and it definitely re-energized us coming back into it. I actually really enjoy being on tour and playing shows.” No strangers to the Gulf Coast, Matt and Kim used to visit Pensacola frequently in their early days, playing house shows in the area often. They also played DeLuna Fest (RIP) and Hangout Fest in 2014—both were memorable sets that included giant beach balls and lots of Schifino’s signature booty shaking. “Since we are playing the pre-party, a couple things will be different but don’t worry—we still have something in the works,” Johnson said. {in}

GIVERS / Courtesy Photo Few things say ‘thank you’ like the gift of fresh muskrat meat. GIVERS, a five-piece indie pop band from Lafayette, Louisiana, have been hard at work promoting their sophomore album, “New Kingdom” and aren’t afraid to show their gratitude through wild game. “If you do enough voodoo, if you lay down your cards right, and if you pray to enough deities, certain things might line up, and one of those things is Dr. John, laying down some spoken word on one of your songs,” vocalist and guitarist Taylor Guarisco said. “And what he did was gold, so we bought him some raccoon and muskrat, because he doesn’t eat any processed meat—only wild game—which I think is cool.” Dr. John, the 75-year-old musical legend from New Orleans, offered his gravely voice to the track ‘Sleeper Hold’ during a couple atmospheric, moody breaks in the song.
“Once we started writing the song, there were a few times where it just felt like a movie moment, and I knew I wanted to put something there, but my spoken word voice just wasn’t cutting it,” Guarisco said. Luckily, GIVERS friend and co-producer Korey Richey had worked with Dr. John on a previous project, and was able to contact him for a collaboration. “Richey played the track for him and he liked it, and kind of just did his thing,” Guarisco said. The band did most of the recording for “New Kingdom” at Dockside Studios in Maurice, Louisiana, but also spent time in Banner Elk, North Carolina and Eau Claire, Wisconsin. They experimented with locations and studios outside of their comfort zone, while incorporating new instruments and techniques into their song writing process. The
resulting record is full of the same energy and instrumental variety as their debut release, “In Light” (2011), but with a fresh, ethereal, and electronic element. “We always wanted this band to take us somewhere new, and for this record we tried to find a different approach to layering and arranging songs, and there are some more experimental sounds in there,” Guarisco said. For the “New Kingdom” recording process, Guarisco said the band kept a dry erase board handy, which listed more than 50 songs they’d written for the new record. “There started to be this theme that kind of caught our attention and then we narrowed the 50 songs down to 30, and then to 15 and then 12, for the record,” he said. “We felt like we were creating a new place for these songs to live.” “New Kingdom,” was released toward the

A lot of major music festivals (and sometimes the music industry in general) get criticized for being boys clubs. But not Hangout Fest. From headliners Florence + The Machine and Ellie Goulding, to up-and-comers like Alessia Cara, they have packed so much girl power into this year’s line-up, it’s impossible to not take notice. Here are some of our favorite ladies that will be taking over the beach this weekend.
•Haim There’s almost too much girl magic happening
BØRNS / Original Photo By Lauren Dukoff Garrett Borns, better known by his stage name BØRNS, became a seasoned entertainer by the ripe age of 13. Before working with Gucci, releasing an album publicly endorsed by Taylor Swift, and touring the world, there was magic. “When I was little, there were a couple restaurants my family and I would go to that had magicians who would come by and do a little table magic,” he said. “I was really fascinated by it and always loved going to dinner and being surprised by a show.” Eventually Borns found himself wondering why he didn’t have a show of his own and began searching for sparkly, thrift-store blazers and odd props in preparation of his magical debut. He made his first appearance as “Garrett the Great” when he was 10 years old in his hometown of Grand Haven, Michigan, and by the age of 13, he was collecting checks for his performances at business parties and local restaurants. As a child, Borns often wrote melodies and lyrics in his free time even when his main focus was magic. Once he entered high school, music and film took over as his sole interest, and he began to take note of the 414 1
records his parents played around the house. “I loved listening to old Turtles and Zombies records with them. I was very inspired by that era of song writing,” he said. “I remember my parents were always dancing in the kitchen to things like Sly and the Family Stone and the Bee Gees.” At 21, he took a trip to Los Angeles and became enthralled with the hazy environment of Hollywood, the people he met there, and the tree house he found to live in on Airbnb. After only a couple weeks in California, Borns met musician Jack Kennedy and the two wrote the song ‘10,000 Emerald Pools’ which became a hit single in 2014. After releasing his debut EP “Candy” in 2014, which Taylor Swift deemed “an instant classic” on social media, Borns started to work on a full-length record, “Dopamine,” which was released in October 2015. Both the EP and the LP are full of electronic, forlorn love songs with layers of synth and sensual undertones, and they have resulted in several collaborations. Recently, Borns spent a week of his time in Milan with Alessandro Michele, Gucci’s recently appointed creative director, soaking in the 1970s inspiration spilling off the catwalk.
“Alessandro is a really amazing person, and we are both in a similar head space and really inspired by the ‘60s and ‘70s,” he said. “I was able to see all these oil paintings that inspired his work, and everything is very beautiful and lush.” Borns admits he’s always been into the idea of really special, oneof-a kind pieces of clothing after thrifting with his mom as a child and cycles through velvet flared trousers, western printed shirts with bolos, lace blouses and sequined jackets. “My mom owned a vintage shop, and she showed me what kinds of things to look for when you are thrifting. Now I have this awesome collection of costumes and different weird pieces,” he said. “When I was little, I was always pretending to be a different character—I just wanted to get lost in the world of creating.” {in}

•Sarah Barthel—Vocals and keyboard in Big Grams Sure, Big Boi might be the most familiar face of this collaboration, but Sarah Barthel is the star in our book. Her vocal hooks are heart of most of their tracks, and they tie everything together in a way that elevates Big Grams to something more than just a studio experiment. 2:30-3:45 p.m. Friday, Surf Stage
•Tiffany Lamson—Vocals and percussion in GIVERS If you’ve never seen GIVERS, get ready to get blown away by the non-stop swirling force of talent that is Tiffany Lamson.

If you like Taylor Swift, even just a little bit, you probably know that her boyfriend is headlining this year’s festival. And if you like her more than a little bit, you’ve probably found yourself wondering if she’s going to make the trip to Orange Beach with Calvin Harris. In reality, it’s not that far-fetched of an idea. She made headlines last month for fangirling during his set at Coachella. She also has more than a few connections to other artists on the line-up, including multiple members of her infamous squad. So when you think about it (which we clearly have), she has so many friends at Hangout Fest, it would almost be mean of her to not come, and we all know being mean isn’t Taylor’s style.
•Calvin Harris Bully / Original Photo By Pooneh Ghana Alicia Bognanno is quick to admit she was never any good in school. Despite the alleged poor spelling and lack of motivation, she churns out endearing, nostalgic, honest lyrics as the front-woman for Bully. “I was just always such a bad student,” Bognanno said. “I did always really enjoy reading and writing, though.” As a senior in high school, Bognanno enrolled in a program similar to dual enrollment which offered a beginner’s studio engineering class. “I’d always wanted to be involved in music. I just hadn’t found a way yet,” she said. Bognanno enjoyed the studio atmosphere and felt like she’d found something schoolrelated that she was interested in. After she graduated, she enrolled at Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) to pursue a bachelor’s of science in audio engineering. “I felt like, for the first time, I was able to excel as a student and that I found something I really wanted to do,” she said. “It made me feel a lot better about myself.” After a couple years at MTSU, Bagnonno landed a coveted internship at Steve Albini’s iconic studio in Chicago, Electrical Audio. “I was definitely nervous, to be in any sort of professional studio setting,” she said. “I just cared so much and really wanted to do it, but I was definitely ready. It was nice to be in that setting and feel like I was doing well.” 616 1
She soaked up every opportunity to learn the niche elements of compression, separation and dynamics, and references her time at Electrical Studio as calming, welcoming and greatly educational. After her internship ended, Bagnanno moved to Nashville and worked as a sound engineer at the studio Battle Tapes and ran sound at a local venue, The Stone Fox. In Nashville, she met her future bandmates—drummer and boyfriend Stewart Copeland, bassist Reece Lazarus, and guitarist Clayton Parker, and the four began recording songs together with Bognanno’s studio expertise. “I’m a lot more laid back when I’m engineering my own record, because I really like when those natural imperfections happen,” she said. “So if I can’t hit a note and I know I tried my best, I’ll just move on. I like it being more real, that ends up seeming more perfect to me.” On Bully’s first full-length LP, “Feels Like,” Bognanno sings and screams out lyrics about offering to pick a scab off someone’s knee, or remembering the way a person’s sheets smelled, over fuzzy, melodic guitars and distortion. Critics and fans alike have offered praise and drawn comparisons to the Breeders, Pixies, Nirvana and PJ Harvey—all of which recorded with Albini at one time or another. “Sometimes it’s harder to write in a more honest way,” Bognanno said. “I feel like cutting
out all the bullshit is a way for me to fully comprehend what I’m writing about, making it cohesive, and making sure it has real meaning to me.” Bully is preparing for a string of tour dates, and Bagnanno said most of her time off is currently spent writing more songs for Bully or reading. “Writing isn’t something I can force, ever,” she said. “Usually I’ll try and take time off so I can write, but if I just don’t feel like it, nothing good is going to come out of it.” Time spent on road touring is usually devoted to learning a new skill—a different one for each tour. “I kind of go through phases. One time I learned to crochet, I tried getting good at origami once, tried to learn another language,” she said. “I just recently got a little travel guitar, that’s full-scale, that I can plug my headphones into, which really just makes the time fly by for me.” {in}
Is there anybody who doesn't think ‘This Is What You Came For’ is about Taylor?
•Haim Anyone who follows Taylor on Instagram knows the Haim sisters—Este, Danielle and Alana—are key squad members. •Ellie Goulding In addition to her cameo in the ‘Bad Blood’ video, many sources say that Ellie played matchmaker for Taylor and Calvin. •Børns Once upon a time, Taylor called his song ‘Electric Love’ an “instant classic” (and we couldn’t agree more). •Alessia Cara She was one of the countless 1989 Tour guest stars and also killed a cover of ‘Bad Blood’ on Radio 1’s Piano Sessions—including the Kendrick Lamar verses. •Fetty Wap Another 1989 Tour guest

Strangers You Know / Courtesy Photo Los Angeles-based duo Strangers You Know is no stranger to the festival scene, first as fans and now as full-time bandmates. In fact, the pair—Grady Lee, on vocals and guitar, and Adam Haagen, who handles everything from piano and guitar to banjo and mandolin—met on a whim at a music festival four years ago. Bonding over synths, beats, guitars, lyrics and melody, the foundation of Strangers You Know was born. “It’s been kind of crazy,” Lee said. “After we met at Coachella, we never really thought anything of it until about six months later when we met up at another music festival, Outside Lands. That was more of where the bond was cemented to travel to L.A. and see what happens when we get into the studio.” The duo just released a six-song EP, “Loosen Up the Leash” which is a balance of two very strong, but very different, musical styles. Haagen is much more analog and into folk and rootsy music, while Lee is more of a fan of electronic and hip-hop. “Our music is a fusion of those two interests,” Lee said. Haagen said that he grew up listening to artists like Willie Nelson and Tom Petty, and he and Lee have tastes that are on the opposite ends of the musical spectrum. “The reason “Loosen Up the Leash” worked is because we finally just decided to let each individual be, and that was when we are at our best,” Lee said.
When they perform, Lee sings and occasionally plays instruments, but Haagen is most definitely the busiest during live shows. “He’s running around like a mad dog, playing everything in sight,” Lee said. In the studio, Haagen and Lee work in tandem, but they most enjoy the energy of playing live. “That’s what we love to do,” Haagen said. “The whole point of the production side of things is the ability to go and play everything live. You obviously can’t recreate it completely, but it’s fun to mix things up a bit on stage.” As for what kind of impression Lee and Haagen wish to leave on the Hangout crowd, Lee said that he hopes it’s permanent. “I hope it’s a lasting one,” Lee said. “Seriously, we’re hoping to be a tattoo on people. Maybe a ‘Strangers You Know’ tramp stamp.” {in}
