An Interview with The Flooizes We are just one week away from Gem & Jam 2020. In anticipation of the festival's return after a hiatus in 2019, I had the opportunity to sit down with The Floozies, aka Matt and Mark Hill, to discuss their upcoming album and tour, the TH3 supergroup, and more. You can catch The Floozies set on Saturday, February 1 and the TH3 supergroup featuring Michael Travis, Kylie Hollingsworth, and Jason Hann of The String Cheese Incident and Matt from The Floozies on Sunday, February 2. The band discussed their upcoming music and plans for 2020 in an interview. Q. The Floozies are no stranger to performing at Gem & Jam. What keeps you coming back to this festival? A. We just follow the crystals man. Just follow the crystals. Q. What can Gem & Jammers anticipate from your set? A. Str8 bangers my brotha. Q. Matt, what's it like being invited to play with the TH3 supergroup? Can you tell us more about how the collaboration came to be? A. They asked me to do it and I said yes. I am very nervous being the noob in a band with guys that have played together for ~30 years (I think) but also excited and it’s going to be cool. Long as I don’t have to miss the chiefs in the Super Bowl. Q. What can fans expect from the upcoming Day Glow Funk Tour? A. New songs, new production, new ditty. Q. What inspiration have you pulled for the upcoming album? Are there any collaborations with other artists we can look forward to? A. Oh man yes absolutely yes. Tech N9ne, Big Gigantic, Dirt Monkey, Recess, I think that’s it. Q. The group is set to tour with Sunsquabi in 2020. How would you describe their sound? A. They call it hydrofunk I believe and that seems pretty apt. I trust their ability to describe themselves. Kevin is one of my favorite guitar players though. Q. The band formed in 2008 in Lawrence, Kansas. The band performed live on stage after the Wakarusa Music Festival relocated, but did either of you attend Wakarusa while it was located in Lawrence? If so, do you have any memories of those events? If not, do see that area inspiring your style and sound? Guitar from The Floozies. Photo by: YouTube / The Floozies A. Mark did and he always had a blast. Exposed him and therefore me to a lot of the music in that scene. We always listen to each other’s music so our taste is an amalgamation of all the stuff we’ve each listened to and been inspired by. Q. Are you into vinyl? If so, which records are in heavy rotation? A. We’d be into vinyl if we didn’t have little kids but a record player wouldn't last long in either of our houses. Q. The duo appears to enjoy basketball. Are there any teams you see taking home the championship this year? A. Lakers probably. More concerned with Chiefs winning super bowl right now.
