One of Dicks' biggest backers has been its director Larry Charles (Borat Curb Your Enthusiasm), who helped sell the film in 2016 after seeing a tape of the stage show.Ĭaught in limbo for years due to studio mergers, Dicks was picked up again in 2022 by indie powerhouse A24 (Everything Everywhere All At Once Talk To Me), who have made a name for left-of-centre films. "We were doing it in this theatre in the basement of a grocery store - it was a show we were doing for ourselves, that found its little audience." So how did it get made then? It's good we didn't know that," says Sharp. "If someone said this was going to take nine years of your life, I might have walked off stage. It was never intended to go beyond its basement audience. It was first created in 2014 as Fucking Identical Twins - a 30-minute, two-man, off-Broadway show at Upright Citizens Brigade, the sketch and comedy school whose alumni include Amy Poehler, Aubrey Plaza and Broad City duo Ilana Glazer and Abbi Jacobson. Grrrl Gang consist of Angeeta Sentana (vocals/guitar), Akbar Rumandung (bass/vocals), and Edo Alventa (guitar/vocals).That's possibly because Dicks: The Musical retains its underground spirit. "Honey, Baby" is available on all streaming platforms and will also be up for grabs in 7" colored vinyl via Damnably as well as a special edition CD-R format via Kolibri Rekords soon. It's actually loaded with irony and unrest, but we displayed it in a joyful symbolism." "Grrrl Gang was asked to retell about what would've happened in 2020 if the pandemic had never occurred. "Bottom line is, we made this music video to laugh at ourselves," bassist Akbar Rumandung explained. How and what would happen next if 2020 had never seen a pandemic? This picture is what Kome successfully and comedically painted in the "Honey, Baby" music video. This resulted in the festival's cancelation and Grrrl Gang's failure to go to America. Right after they got a hold of their plane tickets, the pandemic broke out. In early 2020, Grrrl Gang had just officially joined and released a discography album with London-based record label, Damnably, which prompted their invitation to perform at 2020 SXSW Music Festival in the United States. Entrusting Carkultera "Kome" Wage Sae to take on the director's chair, the music video for "Honey, Baby" is a collaboration that once again reunited Grrrl Gang and Kome since the "Bathroom/Thrills" music video they previously worked on four years ago. Grrrl Gang didn't put out "Honey, Baby" solely on its own, rather a music video crafted by the members and their friends in Yogyakarta is ready to accompany the new single. In 'Honey, Baby' we considered everything more sensibly." The parts distribution, chord progression, and melody placement changed a lot from what we did before. "You could say that this time we were more patient. Pandu helped us a lot from the recording, mixing, to finding new perspectives."Įdo added that "Honey, Baby" became somewhat a stepping stone for their maturity in terms of song arrangement. Guitarist Edo Alventa said, "It took us a long time to perfect this song to its current form. In order to do so, they teamed up with The Adams' bassist, Pandu Fuzztoni, who took on the role as a co-producer. Moreover, "Honey, Baby" also debuts as Grrrl Gang's first song which the members fully worked on and produced in Jakarta. She explained that it took her several months to write "Honey, Baby" in order to capture her feelings as true as they can be, following how the relationship went. Maybe this song is my way of saying, 'Hey, I am willing to go through this, are you?'" Angee said. "I tried to reflect and bear out how sweet my relationship was at that time, even though I knew the journey wouldn't be easy. Originally written by vocalist/guitarist, Angeeta Sentana, in early 2019, "Honey, Baby" is a love song she composed that encapsulates her story and emotions in navigating a relationship. Different from their previous music and releases, this single features a new 90s alternative nuance and new musical direction that can be sensed right away. A sweet, medium-tempo tune that continues to highlight guitar as a significant element, "Honey, Baby" is Grrrl Gang's first song in three years since the 2018 EP, Not Sad, Not Fulfilled. Jakarta - The indiepop/indierock trio hailing from Yogyakarta, Grrrl Gang, is back with a new single titled "Honey, Baby" that dropped today. It sounds like an opening theme song to a 90's sitcom and is easy enough to get into. The song takes Grrrl Gang to a more 90's alternative inspired sound compared to the pop rock vibe of the last EP. I never thought of promoting music from other countries but I thank Kolibri Records for the opportunity.
