We couldn't be more proud to see Everything is Awesome has been nominated for an Oscar for Best Original Song!! This was the first time we contributed to a track that was specifically written for a film, and it's been a real thrill to watch it become such a popular song with people of all ages! On our tour dates last fall with Katy Perry we performed a version of it, and the venues would light up as kids and their…
One of our favourite things to do over Christmas this year was to go online to see the photos everyone was posting as they received So Jealous X in the mail.

The So Jealous X retrospective collection, including the deluxe box set, is still available for…

We were so inspired by your generosity, that we are going to match this amount and make a…
As you all know - we love sunglasses. We've been lucky enough to be gifted A LOT of them this past year from some of our favourite sunglass companies. In addition to those gifts, we also find ourselves purchasing new ones on tour. And at home. And online. :) The sunglasses have started to pile up. So, rather than shamefully hiding the excess under our beds, we have decided to put them to better use.…
When we put together our retrospective collection celebrating the 10 year anniversary of the release of So Jealous, we immediately thought it was the perfect opportunity to share some of our original demos with you. Our fans have always been so interested in our recording process, so what better way to remember songs that you were so intimate with, than to hear them at their inception! On the other hand, we also wanted to give…
Wow! Everything Is Awesome has been nominated in the category of Best Song Written for Visual Media by The GRAMMYs! We had such a great time singing on the track with The Lonely Island!
