00:00:00:14 [Music]
00:00:15:07 Hi! I am Miz Monday, and today on Band Foto
00:00:17:24 we are shooting Stereos.
00:00:20:01 We are shooting them at a 50's diner,
00:00:22:11 it's a 50's inspired shoot,
00:00:24:10 lot of color, flair, but with a modern edge.
00:00:27:28 The band is really cool; they are crunk rock, awesome!
00:00:31:08 First shot is going to be the guys outside hanging out
00:00:34:04 looking cool, looking hep, looking awesome.
00:00:36:06 It's going to be great.
00:00:37:16 Second shot is going to be the guys inside at the lunch bar
00:00:41:05 and sitting around maybe some in front of the bar, some behind
00:00:45:27 and third shot is going to be the guys sitting and standing
00:00:48:13 amongst the diner and it's really colorful and bright
00:00:50:28 and it's going to look really cool.
00:00:52:19 So stick around and hope you like the shot.
00:00:57:00 As you know today, we are shooting the Stereos,
00:00:58:28 everybody is really excited about these guys,
00:01:01:07 let's take a look at their Band Foto Breakdown.
00:01:06:08 The band consists of Pat on vocals, Miles on lead guitar,
00:01:09:21 Robby on rhythm guitar, bassist Daniel and drummer Aaron.
00:01:13:25 Their debut self-titled album Stereos is filled with hits.
00:01:18:09 Summer Girl debuted number one on the iTunes top songs chart
00:01:22:12 staying there for five day
00:01:24:13 and achieved double platinum selling status.
00:01:26:17 Throw Ya Hands Up helped Stereos to become the first band
00:01:29:15 in history to achieve two consecutive number one hits on
00:01:32:23 the Billboard emerging chart as they knocked out
00:01:34:29 their very own debut single Summer Girl.
00:01:37:21 These long time pals are gaining fans at an unbelievable speed
00:01:41:04 and based on the great success of their songs
00:01:43:00 and their fun personalities,
00:01:44:28 they are set to become huge stars in the music industry.
00:01:48:01 Today, on Band Foto, we are shooting Stereos,
00:01:50:13 are you guys excited?
00:01:51:13 Yeah.
00:01:52:22 I know it can't wait.
00:01:53:25 Jenny what do you have planned for make-up?
00:01:55:04 For make-up, I am just going to keep it simple,
00:01:57:04 five guys looking like great, nice and natural; pretty easy.
00:02:04:00 Awesome! Awesome!
00:02:05:11 And Annastasia what do you have planned for hair?
00:02:07:14 Well, all the guys have really funky hair cuts, long, short,
00:02:10:08 so we are just going to make them look hot and sexy.
00:02:14:08 Awesome! And Nicola, what you have planned for clothing?
00:02:16:28 There is a lot of color in the shoot today, the diner is
00:02:19:24 so colorful so I am adding some more punch to the color with
00:02:22:20 the T-shirts, it's a lot of T-shirts and jeans and jerseys.
00:02:26:04 The guys just looking like great guys out having fun.
00:02:32:03 Awesome! And Nicky, you excited?
00:02:33:13 -Yeah. -Awesome! Let's put our hands together and let's go team.
00:02:37:11 [Music]
00:03:01:28 I think I hear a knock.
00:03:03:13 The band is here.
00:03:06:04 [Music]
00:03:10:03 Hello!
00:03:11:27 Hi! I am Miz Monday, nice to meet you.
00:03:14:03 Nice to meet you.
00:03:15:23 [Music]
00:03:35:28 So good to have you guys in the studio.
00:03:37:08 Awesome!
00:03:38:27 So Nicola is doing styling today.
00:03:40:19 Cool.
00:03:43:00 Annastasia is doing your hair.
00:03:45:01 Cool.
00:03:46:03 Jenny is doing your make-up.
00:03:48:02 I am not sure if you guys wear make-up
00:03:49:28 but you have to wear it for TV.
00:03:57:00 It's going to be awesome. And Nicky is my assistant.
00:03:59:24 Sweet.
00:04:01:18 So do you guys want to get them in here make-up?
00:04:03:15 Yeah. Let's go guys.
00:04:08:28 Awesome! Awesome!
00:04:12:18 Stereos in the studio.
00:04:15:14 [Music]
00:04:29:23 Do you want a coffee?
00:04:31:08 French Vanilla.
00:04:33:20 Is that you Aaron?
00:04:34:20 Of course.
00:04:36:15 Of course in the purple hat...
00:04:39:08 French Vanilla.
00:04:40:28 Does anyone here want coffee or French Vanillas are options?
00:04:44:16 If you guys ever want that?
00:04:46:14 Oh yeah! Coffee please.
00:04:51:13 Just like milk and sweetener.
00:04:53:23 [Music]
00:05:01:00 So Miles came in with a really cool haircut
00:05:04:06 and he like the way it is styled, the way it is right now
00:05:07:03 so I am just going to touch them on,
00:05:08:20 make sure he looks fabulous for the rest of the shoot.
00:05:11:00 Do you do it yourself?
00:05:12:21 You can tell.
00:05:14:07 -Do you do it yourself? -Yeah.
00:05:15:26 Wow! You guys are musicians, hairstylists.
00:05:18:23 We do everything. Danny even sows...
00:05:21:01 Wow!
00:05:22:24 That's awesome! Daniel is what?
00:05:24:28 He is sows.
00:05:26:00 All of his clothes.
00:05:27:02 No.
00:05:28:04 Oh yeah! He sows it all;
00:05:29:16 he can't buy a single thing without having to sew it in.
00:05:31:24 So there is a little secret that no one knows.
00:05:34:18 Nice. How awesome is that!
00:05:36:24 We will be right back with more Band Foto.



00:00:00:14 [Music]
00:00:03:00 Okay, Winter cut style, I think I have got some
00:00:04:18 great T-shits here for the guys.
00:00:06:28 That's really cool.
00:00:08:02 -Something most natural. -Oh my God!
00:00:09:12 Look the dealer, the porn star, look at the moustaches,
00:00:12:06 look at this, he teaches here in the old school,
00:00:16:02 dallied, straight, the trucker.
00:00:19:20 I like that one, it's hot.
00:00:21:21 Next punch is a color, most of it's just stark though,
00:00:24:07 so there are so much color in the diner,
00:00:26:29 I don't want to overdo with the color.
00:00:29:10 So really simple just some good basic T-shirts.
00:00:31:20 Cool.
00:00:33:11 -Yeah. They are look great. -They are going to look amazing.
00:00:35:08 [Music]
00:00:43:23 Who would believe that you need so much make-up
00:00:45:03 to look normal?
00:00:46:16 Thanks.
00:00:47:25 Not you.
00:00:49:27 You look normal as it is.
00:00:52:03 I just mean in general.
00:00:54:04 Although I think a little bit of lipstick will really suit you.
00:00:56:26 Everybody else is fine. Everyone else is good.
00:00:59:25 Okay, so we are just packing up, we are going to head down to
00:01:01:13 location and we are going to shoot the boys at the diner.
00:01:05:12 Can't wait, it's going to be awesome.
00:01:07:22 [Music]
00:01:32:26 Okay, so we are downtown Toronto,
00:01:34:00 outside the Bus Terminal Family Restaurant
00:01:36:18 and we are shooting the Stereos.
00:01:38:08 First shot is going to be right out here on this bench
00:01:40:18 and it's going to look awesome.
00:01:42:06 Can't wait.
00:01:43:24 [Music]
00:03:02:13 Well, if you have seen the show disBAND,
00:03:05:07 you will see our epic journey being a band.
00:03:08:21 And we had a long drive from Edmonton to Toronto;
00:03:12:25 we had to come up with a name.
00:03:14:23 Yeah, we had this really long drive three days,
00:03:16:06 we listened to a lot of music
00:03:17:25 and the name stereos or the word stereos just popped up
00:03:20:11 in a lot of different music that we listened to.
00:03:22:16 Ice Cubes first crew was called the stereo crew and Rancid,
00:03:26:22 one of our favorite bands referenced as stereos
00:03:29:03 like just lyrically a lot.
00:03:31:08 And so we don't think there is a lot of bands out there like us
00:03:34:14 that would actually be influenced by both
00:03:37:05 Ice Cube and Rancid and the word wasn't like
00:03:40:05 it just kind of like made sense, it just kind of
00:03:42:02 popped in our heads and when we had the idea was...
00:03:44:07 we knew this was it.
00:03:46:05 And so we were just like...
00:03:47:15 basically listening to music and this word came out a lot.
00:03:50:03 Robb and I and Miles all used to be in a band together.
00:03:52:27 That band broke up and then Robb and Pat started a band, and then
00:03:57:29 Robb and I started talking again and then it all kind of...
00:04:02:11 their band broke up, our other band broke up
00:04:04:12 and all kind of came together.
00:04:06:03 It did a lot of like the whole explosion
00:04:08:18 of the band happened overnight,
00:04:10:13 definitely like it was because of an episode
00:04:12:29 of disBAND that aired and then basically the next day
00:04:15:25 thousands of people knew who we were and that was really crazy
00:04:20:02 but on the other hand for us, it wasn't overnight,
00:04:22:16 it was ten plus years of work,
00:04:25:03 the night our episode aired, we played a show to like
00:04:27:11 five people and then the next day we couldn't put anymore
00:04:30:09 like to without being noticed.
00:04:33:07 What was unique about our band was that Dan, Robb and I was
00:04:36:22 like without a band at all, just three of us just kind of
00:04:39:28 started writing songs together without having a band
00:04:42:16 for like over a year and a half.
00:04:44:11 Yeah.
00:04:46:05 And so we didn't worry about playing shows,
00:04:48:04 we are like getting at the people who were dedicated
00:04:49:24 because it is hard to get everyone together
00:04:51:20 so we just wrote songs and then once we had the songs,
00:04:53:27 then we found members and it is hard to put together
00:04:57:28 but if you want to do it, you are willing to work the day job
00:05:00:15 just so you can practice at night
00:05:02:04 and quit jobs to be on tour.
00:05:04:03 Yeah, we just wrote some songs, like what's important
00:05:06:20 and like we knew the members would follow,
00:05:08:23 like they would come, once we had the part of the song.
00:05:11:20 14 drummers later, we are good.
00:05:15:15 We are under a 14 right now.
00:05:17:15 So fingers crossed.
00:05:19:07 We will be right back with more Band Foto.


00:00:00:14 [Music]
00:00:02:10 Okay, so we are on the second shot,
00:00:03:12 the band is sitting at the bar.
00:00:04:12 They are going to look great.
00:00:05:16 We are shooting them sitting eating, I can't wait,
00:00:07:10 the photos are going to look sweet.
00:00:09:17 [Music]
00:01:00:16 Perhaps, one of the biggest shows
00:01:02:12 we have ever played in our lives...
00:01:03:16 -To date. -To date,
00:01:04:22 yeah, opening for Katy Perry in
00:01:06:10 Molson Amphitheatre here in Toronto.
00:01:08:28 Robb, he is just wild, on stage he just gets...
00:01:12:22 He is wild. We call him the wild man.
00:01:16:20 I like. I played in like I guess like heavier bands growing up,
00:01:20:25 so I have always come and like acted like the band
00:01:23:05 I looked up to on stage so I go a little crazy.
00:01:26:10 Anyways, he was just getting crazy on stage
00:01:28:25 and decided to do something
00:01:32:16 we are still trying to figure out what it was.
00:01:34:10 I was hopping around, having fun, I was kind of overwhelmed
00:01:37:06 by the 8,000 people in front of me.
00:01:38:29 He is bouncing backwards and then at one point,
00:01:40:28 he just basically freaks out.
00:01:43:23 He foot is hard... Kicks his foot up like go-go dancer.
00:01:47:23 Something I have never seen in my life.
00:01:49:06 One thing lets another... I didn't see where I was.
00:01:50:28 I was on my back foot and I have this thing
00:01:53:17 where I throw my guitar to one side,
00:01:55:09 then back, and it just... the combination of it all
00:01:57:28 -took me out -He was just... bails.
00:02:03:05 Yes. It's hilarious.
00:02:04:13 You can YouTube it, you know what,
00:02:05:16 Robb Chalifoux takes a tumble is the YouTube video.
00:02:09:03 It's the worst thing that has ever happened to me.
00:02:11:24 I think the worst part is that 12 girls managed to film it
00:02:14:16 and put it on YouTube.
00:02:15:16 [Cross talk]
00:02:16:20 I think the worst thing is that it was on the big screen
00:02:19:24 and when you watch it on YouTube,
00:02:21:25 you hear the entire crowd
00:02:23:08 explode with laughter when he falls.
00:02:26:13 So it wasn't just like 10 people saw,
00:02:28:20 like everyone... I don't know if
00:02:31:00 anyone who was watching the big screen at the stage.
00:02:33:23 So if you are the concession stands you missed it,
00:02:36:16 but if you weren't at the concession stands
00:02:39:05 you heard the laughing.
00:02:41:03 You know what he got right back up and continued playing.
00:02:45:19 I don't know if he knew where he was after he got up,
00:02:48:24 I don't it was pretty hard.
00:02:51:05 [Music]
00:03:02:25 Hey! We got them.
00:03:06:03 Hi-five, oh yeah, hi-five.
00:03:11:14 Okay, so we are done with the second shot,
00:03:12:23 photos turned out great,
00:03:14:10 now we are going to setup the third shot
00:03:15:21 and let the band take a little break.
00:03:17:06 We just shot a video in Miami,
00:03:19:04 Throw Ya Hands Up, second single.
00:03:22:09 [Music]
00:03:43:28 Yeah, we just finished wrapping up two days in Miami
00:03:46:24 just... girls and sun and pools and boats.
00:03:51:15 It was real hot.
00:03:55:01 It was good and I went to the Miami Dolphins football game
00:03:58:21 which was the best part of the fun, so I had a good time.
00:04:01:15 [Music]
00:04:18:00 On the Summer Girl video shoot,
00:04:20:04 we thought we had everyone fooled
00:04:21:29 and the thing it was tropical and
00:04:23:27 we were on a beach in some faraway amazing place.
00:04:28:17 -Tahiti or something. -What's that?
00:04:30:18 -Tahiti or something. -Tahiti or something.
00:04:32:29 And our good friend well, and I will just leave it at friend,
00:04:38:12 Tim Deegan ruined the entire front that we had on the video
00:04:43:08 and so that we shot it on Scarborough.
00:04:45:13 So not so tropical, not so nice, not Tahiti.
00:04:48:06 -It was freezing cold. -Freezing cold.
00:04:49:18 Like the wind, like ruined my ears for like two weeks like
00:04:52:17 it was a real chore sometimes but it was fun,
00:04:56:04 it was our first video so I was like on top of the world.
00:04:58:04 Yeah, we were freaking out. And at the same time
00:04:59:27 we were freezing, so it was awesome.
00:05:02:24 [Music]
00:05:39:07 We will be back with more Band Foto.


00:00:00:14 [Music]
00:00:03:06 So we are about to shoot the third shoot.
00:00:04:15 So far the photo has been turning out amazing,
00:00:06:05 we are about to shoot them walking into the diner,
00:00:08:22 looking cool, sitting down, looking awesome.
00:00:11:16 I can't wait.
00:00:12:25 [Music]
00:01:03:24 I love it.
00:01:05:11 Yeah, we love haters like... the haters make us work 10 times
00:01:07:14 harder than someone who supports us.
00:01:09:03 So it's like let's be honest, we have a very distinct fan base
00:01:11:16 but those are the kids that will freak out,
00:01:13:10 they will buy your songs 10 times on iTunes.
00:01:15:22 When a lot of the people who are into less mainstream bands
00:01:21:06 use the Limewire a thousand times more too.
00:01:24:23 So I mean I wouldn't try fan base to the world,
00:01:28:05 with that fan base coming
00:01:29:29 there is a lot of people who hate us just
00:01:30:29 because of our fan base,
00:01:32:04 who don't even really listen to the music or
00:01:33:08 who don't like the kind of music.
00:01:34:29 And if you don't like that kind of music anyways then
00:01:36:28 it doesn't matter to me.
00:01:39:04 Yeah, groupies is the wrong term to use
00:01:41:07 but I think that by having like a lot of little girls
00:01:43:23 saying that they love you all the time,
00:01:45:07 that they want to marry you and they freak out,
00:01:46:24 it's like really weird because
00:01:48:24 yeah, like Dan said, it's like we know each other
00:01:53:29 so well and see our like... to see Dan get that response
00:02:01:00 and when he goes to it's weird
00:02:03:02 At the same time it's amazing,
00:02:04:07 we love our fans and like for them
00:02:06:23 the whole thing is such a high position
00:02:08:26 that people look up to is amazing.
00:02:10:24 So we love them.
00:02:13:01 Having two songs on iTunes, hit number one
00:02:15:23 is probably the most unscrambled feeling ever,
00:02:18:21 it's like everything you have ever worked for,
00:02:23:08 paying off more than you thought it would basically.
00:02:26:27 We spend so much time in the studio working on the songs
00:02:29:10 and like he said you know like year-and-half,
00:02:31:27 we were writing songs
00:02:33:03 just perfecting the hustle as we say.
00:02:36:28 And yeah, no, it just... it's crazy, that,
00:02:39:21 that fast overnight, it just hits number one twice.
00:02:42:21 Yeah, it's amazing and I think that like
00:02:44:17 the first time it happened,
00:02:45:23 we were so hungry to see how our first song,
00:02:48:17 our first single, and then it goes number one.
00:02:50:00 It's huge but then
00:02:51:00 that's good enough for the people that hate you,
00:02:53:08 then you are one hit wonder.
00:02:54:25 And the second song goes number one, it's like okay what now
00:02:58:00 and we will see your album and we will see.
00:03:00:21 We are always... that wasn't right, so yeah.
00:03:02:25 Two hit wonders.
00:03:04:23 Our future... I am looking at it, the same way I looked at it
00:03:08:07 in the basement with these guys.
00:03:10:28 I just want to have the best time possible
00:03:12:24 and achieve as much as I can and be successful.
00:03:18:09 My goal has been to try and create something that we can
00:03:20:15 just play music for the rest of our lives.
00:03:23:12 We want to be the best, we strive to be the best
00:03:25:04 so you know we are going to fall nothing short of that.
