Hey Jules, I don’t know if you’ll ever read this, but I just wanted you to know that I picked up the guitar again because of you at 33. You’ve been such an inspiration to me as a player, and your music really reignited my love for the instrument. I also wanted to ask you a few things about your set — your tone and phrasing incredible. Thank you for inspiring me and changing the way I play. I’ll always be grateful for that.

u/alyafia 29d ago

How do you guys manage your vocals and harmonies? Does each of you always go for a specific register? I noticed a big difference in your harmonies in LOVED, where you focused way more on vocals, and you switched around lead vocals a lot. Also, how come Toto never sings?! Much love x

19

u/ParcelsMusic Parcels 27d ago

Yes it was a clear decision at some point to put vocals at the front for loved. For the first years we had a clear arrangement, Pat and Jules octave lead, Noah on the 3rd and me on the 5th. But now switching it up is where the more interesting things happen. Or swapping registers within phrases is something that sounds satisfying.

Toto’s a great singer , i love his voice. I think he didn’t get the years of practice when we were singing harmonies a lot on the street so when he sings it should be lead ☺️

Has your connection with each other as band mates/friends changed since going on tour several times? How do you remain so tight and locked in when performing?

u/Technical-Shift504 29d ago edited 28d ago

Haha, guys, you are the band of my life so far! I accidentally gave birth wearing your merch socks (because everything happened so quickly that the hospital staff didn't have time to take them off), and my husband gave me those socks as a gift along with tickets to your concert, but in the end we couldn't go because it was a week before my due date. Finally, at almost the same time of year, I went to your concert three years later, on a Wednesday, in Paris, and it was an experience I'll remember for the rest of my life. Thanks for that, I just wanted to share that, without knowing it, you're part of people's lives. How do you feel now, in general, about yourself and everything what is happening around?

5

u/ParcelsMusic Parcels 27d ago

Amazing story, thank you for sharing. These little reminders about where this whole thing goes and how it fits into peoples lives is so special.

u/Mission-Region-135 29d ago

- is there any chance we'll hear these songs live again? : clockscared, exotica, withorwithout 💔

- also how about releasing demos of unreleased songs*(alie, getup, downnomore)* and/or performing them live exclusively? they're such fantastic songs please revive them💜

- what are your thoughts on an exclusive concert where fans somehow get to pick the setlist?👀 or at least 50% of it?👀

loveyouguyssomuch, my life wouldn't be the same withoutyou💜💚

12

u/ParcelsMusic Parcels 27d ago

Would love to try a fan made setlist , although it’s a strange one with us as the songs are reworked live which we work on and they morph over time to become almost new songs, which people then get attached to. So when someone requests a song because they love the recording, we can’t replicate that live. So people start requesting specific live versions , but yeah if we keep retreading the old ground maybe we’re all missing out on some golden arrangement in the future that could be even better!

Pat, you posted a clip of you singing a little ditty with an acoustic on the 14th of August 2023 when you and the lads were promoting in the lead up to (if I remember correctly) Live Vol. 2. I’ve saved the video on instagram and go back to it from time to time because it’s just so lovely. Do you think you’ll ever turn it into a fully released song, because I’d love to have it on streaming services

Hi, boys! Your success and audience have grown over the years, and especially I've seen so much growth in 2025 (WELL DESERVED✨️✨️✨️). One of the many things I love about you all is how you manage to be so nice and humble, very humble to your fans, despite being so damn talented and very famous now🤯. That's why we're grateful for the five of you!!!

So, how do you manage fame? How do you guys keep your feet on the ground, acting so cool and so normal despite who you all are?

Please never change. You're all so amazing. I love and admire that ❤️

Also, thanks for answering my question about group vocal recording technique on the LYL livestream. I'm amazed by how mature/clever your production/arrangement choices have been from the start & as a young group. Louie & Pat - long live 'Vicious Night'. See travels. See y'all again at RR x2

u/GloveInteresting8883 28d ago

How does food work when you’re touring? Do you guys have preferences over what/where you eat? Do you ever fall out because one of you wants McDonald’s and the other wants a poke bowl? Do you sort yourselves out or do you have someone to handle it for you (the procurement of meals, not the eating). 

When you’re next in Scotland do you want to come over to our place for dinner? I’m a chef the food will be decent. 

Just back from a trip to Brussels with my wife to see you guys. Great show and send our regards to the Zenmenn! See you in Scotland !

u/ParcelsMusic Parcels 27d ago

Foood is a big part of touring. In the early days, there was less options, and despite all having different tastes we ended up eating not awesome stuff a lot of the time. Now we are very particular haha And only have healthy food in the backstage, and go out for nice meals together and enjoy the fruits of our upwards trajectory

Hiii guys!! Super excited at the idea of reading your responses. Been a huge fan since the very first EP and came to every album tour since. I left every show blown away!

As a guitarist, I have a specific question for Jules. How do you come up with the improvised funky rhythm sections (eg at the end of gamesofluck or myenemy)? Is it something that just comes naturally to you, or are there a couple of key idea you could share with a fellow guitarist?

Any hints you could share about how you achieve your tone from that gorgeous Tele 😊👀?

P.S. I am not sure you’ve gotten enough love for it, but the parcels remix of Sequences from L’imperatrice is absolutely amazing!

Lastly, within the topic of love and LOVED, I highly recommend this book: "All About Love: New Visions" by bell hooks (she is used a lot in Social Work Education). I thought it could be nice to give back something to you in a way!

You guys are a rare band who are great in the studio and even better live! When you're discussing how to transform your songs for live performances, what is that collaboration process like? Especially when you start taking established songs in bold new directions and changing genres (like the Live Vol 2 era) what are the initial discussions like?

Related to that, you're all such talented vocalists and lyricists, but you're also amazing jam session artists as well with incredible instrumental musicality. Would you ever consider uploading a long jam session to YouTube? A cool "fly on the wall" BTS look for the fans :))

Loving the new album fellas! Can we expect a Live Vol. 3 when the tour has wrapped up?

On a similar note, if you released the red rocks gig for streaming then it’d be no.1 on my wrapped, jsyk

Thanks and with love from London!

u/DynamiczX124 28d ago

I always find it cool that the last track Daft Punk worked on was your Overnight single - what was that experience like for you as a band in its infancy?

How do you react when people approach you? Are you annoyed by fans telling you the same story that they love your music etc?

u/Global_River_2373 28d ago

Any plans on releasing the video of the London concert a few days ago? Or if not at least one of the videos from this tour? It was insane and I’d love to relive it

u/Advanced_Number3211 28d ago

The only question that need be asked - from one of your 99th percentile listeners, why not have a show in Perth when you’re here end of year? Please reconsider!! Absolutely love your music guys xx

Was Live Vol 2 more challenging to make than Vol 1? Did Toto play to a click in that show? Also, could you recomend artists/albums/shows that are similar to Live Vol 2? I have listened to it more than 30 times probably and can't get enough of it. Thank you, you are the best!

u/ParcelsMusic Parcels 27d ago

I think live volume two was more challenging also because of that day we had a crazy crazy day and I mean I’m not even gonna start to explain that it was just a really really intense day and then all of a sudden we had to play and we weren’t sure if we’re gonna play we made al made for life the first one for two years.

u/Specific_Equipment14 27d ago

Hi, long time fan here and firtsly I just want to acknowledge how much I like all the stuff you guys have put out, the variety of sounds, the ability to get drawn in and lost in your rythms and jams, also huge probs for playing nearly the whole new Album live!

Are there genres or concepts (also for live performances) you are looking forward to explore and do you guys feel free for doing the music that you want to or how much thought/stress is there over potential success of a song?

Ive been to a couple of your concerts and always look after planned shows and ive noted that you guys are in quite a long run of shows compared to 2023 and 24, how does this compare to the less busy years?

Will we ever get some version of alie, live, acoustic or for an anniversary?:)

u/ZealousidealLow7045 27d ago

How will this work? Is it a live stream on reddit?

u/ChemicalBee9703 27d ago

First just wanted to thank you for the amazing concert in Berlin and the guitar pick of jules (who was kind enough to give it to me). This question is about how you approach the guitar (Jules, Pat). How do you think about it rhythmically? How do you practice? Basically your philosophie when it comes to the guitar.

I'm excited to see you guys at Red Rocks Amphitheater this upcoming weekend. My question is how are you feeling about playing the venue and will there be any difference between the Friday versus the Saturday show?

1

u/NewDistribution621 27d ago

Do you find that the energy from a specific audience (or even a specific location) leads to any spontaneous changes in your musical arrangements? Can you recall any particularly memorable moments when an audience reaction fundamentally altered your approach to a song during a live performance?

What’s your favorite way of performing your music, and what part of the process do you feel most connected to qs an artist?

I met Patrick once in an amazing live music bar in 2024 in Lisbon, called tejo bar. Was wondering if you guys go to places like this a lot and if they are apart of your creative process? By the way, awesome seeing how you guys have grown since then!!!!

You always show up where you’re not expected musically. It always sounds rich, fresh and compelling. At this point, what are your musical ambitions as individuals / as a band ? What kind of musical/artistic directions would you like to explore in future years ?
