Hey TWIST girls!
Today, I was lucky enough to sit down and chat with WOW! Haven't heard of these guys? No worries, TWIST has the scoop from their most embarrassing moments on tour to the names of their pets! After spending time with the boys of WOW, I'm officially in love - and I'm sure you will be too!
TWIST: So why a '90s-style pop boy band?
Frankie: Basically, we're trying not to do what everyone's doing now. I think most people are doing R&B and techno and that kind of thing, which is really cool, but what we're trying to do is just real, bubble gum pop. We're trying to bring it back to 'N Sync and Britney Spears and the Backstreet Boys just because we feel like it's time. It hasn't been done in so long.
TWIST: And tell us about your charity work, I know that's something important to all of you.
Frankie: That's our big thing. Most teens think that just 'cause they're a teenager they're not gonna make a difference. But any little thing, even if it's the smallest thing, can make a difference.
Mike: So certain stops that we do, we'll try to visit a charity or children's hospital and just try to help.
TWIST: What are some embarrassing moments that have happened on tour?
Eddie: Oh, we were doing our intro for our show, and there was an opening in the center of the curtain on the stage, so that's where we were coming out of instead of the sides. I turn around and Mike has his feet hung up in the curtain, like he's falling!
Mike: I was wearing Converse and I think they were like a half a size too big, so when I came out, I was staring at Jake being like, "Ok, let's go" and they got caught!
Frankie: The funny thing is that same exact show I -
Mike: Oh you ripped your pants!
Frankie: Sometimes I get a little bit carried away and I just decided to slide down to the floor. I came up and my whole entire pant leg was totally ripped, my knee was bleeding. I'm like, "Oh I hope no one sees this!"
Jake: One time in LA we were like so close together he punched me in the mouth and I was bleeding.
TWIST: Yikes! Okay last question: What do your fans not know about you?
Mike: I want to just write music all the time. I like when you see the Jonas Brothers write their own songs. You put thoughts and ideas on paper and it grows and then when you play it live for the fans, it's gotta be such a cool feeling!
Frankie: One thing fans don't know about me is I have one of the craziest families you've ever met. My mom...
Eddie: Deserves a reality show.
Frankie: My mom is emotional. And my sister is...
Eddie: Crazy! My sister looks exactly like LC from The Hills. Identical. And Jake contemplated having a pet skunk called Jimmy Pete. He has crazy animals and all of them have legit names.
Jake: I used to have a fish named Hootie Mongolian, and then I had a hamster named Charlie Dickson. We were going to get a baby skunk, you can keep them as pets, but we didn't. Some of the fans heard about the skunk ordeal and they got me stuffed animal skunks!
Eddie: Oh, if we lit the stage on fire and just stood there, Frankie would be happy. You wouldn't even have to do anything as long as there's fire everywhere.
Frankie: I just have a vision of me coming down from the bottom of the stage and rising with a huge thing of fireworks streaming down. Once that happens, we're gonna be at Madison Square Garden.
TWIST: We want backstage passes to see that.
Frankie: Of course!
The guys also promised me a lego belt just like theirs! Totally cool, right? Tell TWIST: Do you think WOW's the next big thing? Do you want to read more about them? Comment now!
