Matt and Kim Explain ‘We Were The Weirdos’ Surprise EP: Interview
“There’s always a surprise in what we’ll fuck up onstage,” Matt Johnson, one-half of the long-running duo Matt and Kim, tells Fuse. Matt isn’t shy about how, more than a decade into the pop-rock group’s run, he and Kim Schifino still miss cues, screw up song intros and generally make mistakes in a live show that attracts thousands of fans at festivals around the globe.
This month, Matt and Kim decided that mistakes are what they should be aiming for.
On Sunday (Apr. 24), the duo announced the release of a surprise EP, We Were The Weirdos, during its Coachella main stage performance. The four-song set was recorded completely in between the two weekends of Coachella this month, and Matt and Kim performed one of the new songs, “Please No More,” immediately following the EP announcement.
