Serendipity 7,821 Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Some tour pairings make us scratch our heads wondering what (or if) the artists possibly talk about on the road. Charli XCX and Jack Antonoff are decidedly not those co-headliners. Hanging in the wooded lounge at the Sweetlife Festival, the Bleachers frontman and pop diva dished some serious sarcasm, finished each other’s sentences and shared what they’ve recently learned about each other as they prepare for the Charli and Jack Do America romp, opening July 21 in San Diego. “He likes to get pedicures, he eats a lot of steak, he goes rollerblading on tour and went to Jewish school,” Charli says of Antonoff. “She likes karaoke. Her big karaoke song -- there are a few -- she likes to do ‘Kiss’ by Prince, ‘You Shook Me All Night Long’ by AC/DC, Billy Ocean, anything that really gets you moving,” Antonoff says of Charli. Also they both hate fish, with the exception of sushi. Both are also equally enthused about co-headlining, with Børns opening for them on most dates. “What’s cool about a co-headlining tour is it’s two big shows,” Antonoff says. “Every other tour I’ve done, you get the first of three, the second opener and then here comes the big show and the lights go out. This is like a little festival.” Bleachers will take the stage first, bringing a retro vibe. “Our stage is inspired by Queen on a tour they did in the early ‘80s,” Antonoff says. “It’s a lot of can lights because I wanted to get away from screens. I like the idea of what a big rock show looked like in the ‘80s, where it looked like a spaceship of cans.” To amp up the effect, mic stands and drum sets will be all mirrors and chrome. “Know what it looks like?” the Jersey native baits. “It looks like someone who lives in New Jersey who just got money.” Charli’s set is an inflatable fantasyland, including a “massively oversized” inflatable guitar and huge blow-up lollipop that matches the one on the cover of her current album Sucker. “I’ve never done a co-headline tour before. We’re both chill. There’s no ego **** going on with it… well, at least I hope not,” she says flashing a faux warning glance Antonoff’s way. Aside from riding Sucker, Charli’s back to writing for other artists for a spell. “I want to write hits for other people” she says. She penned a few tunes for Gwen Stefani with Ryn Weaver, and is hopeful they’ll come to fruition. “It’s been going on for a really long time. She likes two songs and keeps mentioning the songs but I don’t know what’s going to happen with them.” Source The dates Charli and Jack Do America 2015 TourJuly 21: San Diego, CA – The Observatory North ParkJuly 22: Costa Mesa, CA – Pacific AmphitheatreJuly 23: Oakland, CA – Fox TheaterJuly 25: Seattle, WA – Showbox SoDoJuly 26: Troutdale, OR – EdgefieldJuly 28: Salt Lake City, UT – The ComplexJuly 29: Denver, CO – The Fillmore AuditoriumAug. 4: Minneapolis, MN – Cabooze PlazaAug. 5: Milwaukee, WI – Eagles BallroomAug. 7: Tulsa, OK – Cain’s BallroomAug. 8: Kansas City, MO – Starlight TheatreAug. 9: St. Louis, MO – The PageantAug. 11: Detroit, MI – The Fillmore DetroitAug. 12: Columbus, OH – LC Pavilion At least there are no crazy tampon, crazy s-x, getting wasted in Katy's toilet stories here But I wonder what mishaps is she gonna do in this tour Tune in next time for more of "The Adventures of Famous Charli" with A happy boy See talent here-->http://bit.ly/2eqeUxK Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
