First of all, how are Bones UK?

Rosie: Well, we are tired,

Carmen: but we’re doing well.

Rosie: We’re OK, thank you for asking. It’s a bit intense, but it’s OK.

Tonight’s gig is in Camden, e.g., your hometown. How does it feel to be playing such an iconic venue? Do you have friends and family coming to see you?

Rosie: Tonight, our show is in Camden, and it is a homecoming. This is where we started Bones UK. Me and Carmen actually met down the road in the Blues Kitchen. We’ve played at this venue before, but it’s one of our favourite venues of all time to play. We have so many friends and family coming tonight. It’s insane. So much so that we’ve rented out the Good Mixer pub for the afterparty. And yeah, we are so excited. No one’s seen us play. We haven’t been in England for five years, so none of our families has seen us play for five years. They might be horribly disappointed or very impressed, we’ll find out.

On this tour you’re supporting Eagles of Death Metal, what’s that been like? Were you fans of the band previously?

Carmen: It’s been great. They’re really good friends of ours. We met them in L.A., and it’s just been really fun to be on tour with them.

Rosie: It was a long time coming as well. It originally got cancelled because of the pandemic, so it’s something that we’ve been excited about for ages. It kept getting moved and now it’s finally happening. They’re amazing. Jesse’s wonderful. All the band’s amazing, we’re pumped.

I first heard your music when Pretty Waste was featured on the Amazon Prime show The Wilds. Have you found that having your music in these big shows has helped spread your name?

Carmen: I’m sure it has. I mean, it’s something that we don’t really see because it’s other people’s shows. We get messages occasionally from friends being like, oh, I heard your track on this. So, I’m sure it really does help.

Rosie: But it’s one of the best ways to get your tracks out there, these days. Touring is amazing, but it’s quite a slow burn, with this you reach a lot more people very quickly and you kind of pick up fans from the show. So, it’s amazing. And also, just like the association with really cool shows. Our first single was with Orange Is the New Black, which is like the best thing ever. We were like, oh my God this is excellent. So, we’ve had really cool ones. We tend to get things that are for cool programs that kind of work with us. We tend to gravitate towards things that are appropriate, which is nice. We haven’t had like some horrible like, you know, racist Nazi drama yet.

Carmen: Yeah, we wouldn’t let that happen.
