“MY parents saw us as a delusional experiment who didn’t know how to play our instruments,” recalls Adam Green in the upcoming documentary film Meet Me In The Bathroom, voicing-over a scene that finds him shirtless and cherub-like in a New York apartment. His bandmate Kimya Dawson is dressed in giant floppy bunny ears. Both are grinning maniacally as they strum and sing in unison: “Sleeping in a van between A and B/Sucking dick for ecstasy”.
Releasing their sole album in, based on Lizzy Goodman’s oral history of the early-2000s NYC scene, it was an instant reconnection. “Those songs are in my muscle memory,” says Green. “Before the premiere, we practised for five seconds, but we played all of our songs – it felt so natural.” The duo had so much fun that they’re getting the full six-piece band back together for some shows this summer.
