- Boygenius doesn't go out after they have finished a show while touring.
- Phoebe Bridgers said she, Julien Baker, and Lucy Dacus like to "cuddle and watch TV" instead.
After a boygenius concert, don't expect to see the boys out at a bar — or out anywhere, for that matter.
The indie-rock supergroup of stars Phoebe Bridgers, Julien Baker, and Lucy Dacus is coming off a headlining tour in the US and abroad. Bridgers herself opened for Taylor Swift on The Eras Tour, with Baker and Dacus occasionally joining her on stage for surprise duets.
Bridgers told Olivia Rodrigo in a conversation for Interview Magazine that their arduous touring schedule was "so fun," but the experience did cause her to become a "shell of myself."
"But they're the best people to be my shell self around. They're my best friends," Bridgers said of Baker and Dacus.
Rodrigo, who has one tour under her belt as a young solo artist, replied that she's curious about touring with bandmates.
"I've always wondered what it's like to tour with a band and have that shared experience and go out to the bar after the show and stuff like that. Because it can get lonely," Rodrigo wondered aloud.
But Bridgers said that isn't quite how she, Baker, and Dacus tour: "We're very granola," she said.
"No bar after the show," Bridgers added. "We cuddle and watch TV."
Boygenius' official debut, titled "The Record," was released in April to near-universal acclaim. Insider's music team gave the album a score of 9.6 out of 10, describing the effect as "a vulnerable experience, almost like watching beloved sitcom characters share secrets and create inside jokes in real time; intimacy is the whole plot."
For her part, Rodrigo will release her sophomore album "Guts" on Friday.
