1. SOUNDBITE (English) Abigail Morris, lead singer, The Last Dinner Party:
"I guess it’s not super thought out. We’re just being ourselves, basically. And I think just because we’re women and nonbinary people, then that’s what it looks like. You know? We’re not trying to be specifically feminist or feminine. We just all are feminists and all not men. And our style and our look is just our own experiences and us just being really true to ourselves. And so it's just whatever manifests, is just that. We’re not trying to make a statement, but it ends up being a statement because it’s unfortunately unusual. And it shouldn’t be unusual. And hopefully one day it’s not."

2. SOUNDBITE (English) Abigail Morris, lead singer, The Last Dinner Party:
"I think it’s just the natural rise and fall of trends and of, what’s the word, like culture and cycles. Every four or five years there’s a different kind of thing that’s à la mode. It’s so funny because then people kind of have short-term memory loss and they forget everything that came before, and then it comes back and they act like it’s a new thing. Like for a while it was, especially over COVID, the rise of the bedroom pop producer and like one person putting their stuff out, that was the kind of solo artist, that was popular. And then yeah I think now, people want to see bands again. And it’s just, we’re lucky that we’ve kind of come up as that pendulum has swung back. So, I think it’s just a thing that people always like to say. They like to say things like 'last rock band ever' or 'first rock band ever,' or 'first women to do this.' And it’s not true. Like everything’s been done before. Culture’s dead. We’re just part of a new cycle, and it’s nice that people are enjoying rock bands again.'"
