RIDLEY XCX
(Ridley) You know, honestly, that Chug Jug song. It’s fun, it gets the crowd going, you know what I mean? It’s got some great, um, that classic like…
(Ridley) It’s got, actually, the very first Qamp night, I brought that same Jonesy number. It was like, just like, I feel like a handful of us. But that was kind of cool to be part of like the, you know, the induction of it. What was the question?
(Ridley) Ah, so yeah, love Chug Jug. And then I’ve struggled with making a number that’s longer than three minutes, I think, because I always like trying to think of like, okay, what is the audience thinking? Is this bit worth it? Do I need to speed this up? Um, I’d be interested in doing like a standstill ballad at some point, because I feel like I’ve been subconsciously avoiding it.
(Ridley) Oh my god, tea! That was a… I really loved doing that number. Um, so I love Chug Jug and honestly, doing, doing Frank, it was such a, um, literal, like, years-long dream come to fruition. It’s probably my favorite thing I’ve ever done while I’m in New York.
It was such a good time, and it’s something I’ve been like dreaming of since I was like very young. Um, and Sweet Transvestite was a great time. You know, everybody knows the song, they love it, and getting to like rip the trash bag off… so that’s the thing is like, I don’t… my looks, I feel like aren’t quite there. But there’s these like, I don’t know, seeing, um, Orkgotik on Dragula, that like your only materials are, um, not silicone, um, cellophane, and you know, just like glue and stuff. It’s great to see those kind of examples. It’s like, wow, like, you know, we could be making outfits out of things that are, I don’t know, not even close.
So yeah, I don’t know. Chug Jug is just like, it’s a, it’s a good time. It’s fun. And it was the first one I did, so that’s like the first one that pops in my head.
