TRIO HAILING FROM NEW YORK CITY.

THEIR NEW ALBUM, "OK ORCHESTRA," IS OUT MARCH 26.

WE'RE SO EXCITED TO HAVE THEM WITH US.

PLEASE WELCOME ADAM, JACK, AND RYAN OF AJR!

THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE, FELLAS.

WE'RE SO HAPPY YOU ARE HERE.

NOW TODAY IS INAUGURATION DAY.

AND YOU PERFORMED AT THE THE WE THE PEOPLE PREINAUGURATION

CONCERT ON SUNDAY.

ADAM, WHAT WAS IT LIKE GETTING A CALL THAT THE PRESIDENT WOULD

LIKE YOU TO PERFORM?

IT.

>> IT WAS INSANE, TO EVEN PLAY A TINY PART OF THIS HISTORIC

MOMENT, BIDEN INVITED US FOUR YEARS AGO WHEN HE WAS VICE

PRESIDENT TO PLAY, AND MUSIC PLAYED SUCH AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN

THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION AND ST GREAT TO SEE IT WILL BE SO

PORNTD TO THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION FOR THE NEXT FOUR

YEARS.

>> James: I KNOW YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO GO ON TOUR BUT

BECAUSE OF THE PANDEMIC EVERYTHING CHANGED AND YOU

PIVOTED TO, I THINK YOU WERE ONE OF THE FIRST, THE SORT OF

DRIVE-IN STYLE CONCERTS.

DO YOU HAVE PLANS TO DO MORE THINGS LIKE THAT THIS YEAR?

>> YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.

AT THE BEGINNING OF THE AREA WE WERE SCRAMBLING.

WHAT IS THE BEST WE CAN DO TO SORT OF MAKE UP FOR LIVE SHOWS.

WE DID THE DRIVEIN SHOW, AND VIRTUAL SHOWS TOO.

I THINK WE REALIZED SOMETHING, WHICH IS IT GIVES FANS THAT

WOULDN'T EVER GET TO GO TO A REGULAR SHOW BECAUSE THEY DON'T

LIVE CLOSE TO THE BIG VENUE OR BIG CITY A CHANCE TO ACTUALLY BE

THERE WITH OTHER FANS WATCHING THE SHOW.

THAT IS SOMETHING WE WOULDN'T HAVE THOUGHT OF BEFORE THIS YEAR

STARTED SO I THINK WE WILL TAKE THAT AND DEFINITELY TRN AND GIVE

ALL OF THOSE PEOPLE A CHANCE TO SEE A SHOW AND EXPERIENCE A

SHOW, SO THAT WAS REALLY COOL.

>> THAT'S GREAT AND CONGRATS ON SORT OF BEING SO AHEAD OF THE

CURVE ON THAT SORT OF THING.

NOW YOUR NEW ALBUM IS OUT IN MARCH.

IT'S CALLED OKAY ORCHESTRA WHICH I LOVE AS A.

>> I GOT TO BREAK IT TO YOU, I HATE TO BREAK IT TO YOU, ST NOT

A VINYL.

IT IS JUST A PIECE OF CARDBOARD.

>> I WISH I HAD THE FIRST VINYL, I REALLY DO.

BUT I DON'T QUITE KNOW WHY WE DO THIS, ROB.

WHY DO WE, WHY DO WE DO THIS?

EVERY SHOW, I THINK WHAT WHY AM I STANDING HERE WITH A PIECE OF

CARDBOARD OF AN ALBUM COVER.

>> WE JUST MAKE IT BETTER.

IT'S GOOD, THIS' WHY WE ARE HERE, WE ARE FIXING THINGS.

>> James: EXPLAIN IT TO ME, ROB.

>> IT LOOKS GREAT ON AIR, BECAUSE ALBUMS ARE TOO SHINNEE,

USUALLY.

>> WHAT IS HE GOING TO HOLD, A CD.

>> James: I SAID TO ROB THAT WE SHOULD HOLD THIS BUT IT

SHOULD BE LIKE A STAMP WHICH IS BASICALLY HOW MOST PEOPLE WILL

SEE IT ON THEIR PHONES OR SPOTIFY.

AND I SHOULD HOLD IT LIKE THAT, NOW HERE IS YOUR ALBUM.

>> PLEASE LET'S DO THAT.

>> James: I HAVE BEEN PITCHING THIS FOR TWO YEARS, REG, ALL FOR

NOTHING.

>> BECAUSE THIS LOOKS GREAT.

YOU ARE DOING GREAT.

>> James: IT LOOKS REALLY GREAT.

>> GRAB A BREW.

>> James: IT LOOKS REALLY GREAD, ADAM IS LIKE OH MY GOD,

YOU HAVE THE VINYL AND HAVE I TO BREAK IT, NO, IT EVEN HAS AN

ARROW SO I HOLD IT THE RIGHT WAY UP LIKE I SHOW NOT REALIZE THAT

OKAY ORCHESTRA SHOULDN'T BE THIS WAY.

>> YOU CAN TELL THEY ARE-- TEN TIMES.

>> James: NOT WHEN I HAS GOT WORDS ON IT, ROB.

NOT WHEN IT'S GOT WORDS ON IT, I HAVEN'T.

>> FAIR.

>> James: I LOVE IT, AND I WILL SAY IT IS A BRILLIANT ALBUM

COVER.

AND I LOVE-- LISTEN, I LOVE OKAY COMPUTER, I THINK I WILL LOVE

OKAY ORCHESTRA, I REALLY DO.

RYAN, TELL US ALL ABOUT IT, TELL US ABOUT THIS RECORD.

WHAT CAN WE EXPECT?

>> YEAH SHALL WELL, SO AT THE TOP OF LAST YEAR WE WERE

SUPPOSED TO SPEND THE YEAR TOURING AND THAT GOT THROWN OUT

THE WINDOW.

WE ARE NOT THE TYPE OF PEOPLE THAT WANT TO SIT AROUND FEELING

SORRY FOR OURSELVES, SO I THINK WE FELT SORRY FOR ABOUT A DAY

AND THEN WERE LIKE OKAY, HOW WILL WE USE THIS YEAR

PRODUCTIVELY AND SAYING WE HAVE SOMETHING WE ARE PROUD OF.

SO WE GOT TO WORK ON THIS ALBUM.

AND I THINK IT IS SOME OF THE MOST-- WE HAVE EVER BEEN IN

MUSIC T IS PRETTY EXTREME.

IT IS EXTREMELY HAPPY, EXTREMELY DE PRESSING, SAD AND ANGRY.

A WIDE BREATHED OF EMOTIONS FOR US.

>> James: THAT IS GREAT.

I CAN IN THE WAIT TO LISTEN TO IT I REALLY, REALLY CAN'T.

I'M SO THRILLED THAT EVERYTHING THAT IS HAPPENING, CAN I NOT

WAIT TO INVITE YOU HERE TO THE STUDIO IN PERSON TOO.
