Welcome back to SPIN Magazine’s Lipps Service, hosted by Scott Lipps…
In this episode, Scott sits down with The Lemon Twigs — brothers Brian and Michael D’Addario — for a deep dive into their journey from Long Island to becoming one of the most unique bands in modern rock.
They talk about growing up on The Beatles and The Beach Boys, singing harmonies with their parents, getting into Broadway at a young age, and forming the band that would become The Lemon Twigs.
The conversation covers their early recordings with Jonathan Rado of Foxygen, their breakout album Do Hollywood, and surreal moments like getting recognition from Elton John and collaborating with Todd Rundgren.
They also get into:
* Analog vs digital recording
* Whether they were “born in the wrong era”
* The reality of being an indie band today
* Dream collaborators like Paul McCartney and Bob Dylan
* Their latest record and upcoming tour
Plus — a classic Beatles debate: John vs Paul… who’s better?
