Seth Bogart: It's crazy because I've known Cody since, like, when we were penpals, because we both did gay punk zines, and that's how we knew each other. But this is the first time we've ever worked together, and it's been great.Cody: And Seth and I loved hanging out with Samantha, so we asked her to sing on the track. After recording [the song], it became really obvious that she was our missing Slink link, so she became a permanent member.Tell me more about Angelyne, who introduces you in the video as her favorite band.
Cody: She's like this legendary LA cult figure—she drives a pink corvette, and she's famous for putting billboards of herself all around town.Seth: She's amazing. She had us take her to McDonalds to sign her contract, and she made us eat strawberries and A1 sauce and also Big Mac buns dipped in ketchup.Do you consider "Pink Christmas" part of the promotion for the perfume or the beginning of a new album?
Cody: "Pink Christmas" is its own project. We have a music video directed by Jennifer Stradtford, and then I also made a commercial for the fragrance in collaboration with Black Frame. But working as a group has been so much fun, we've been inspired to record an EP together.
Seth: It's a scent that's perfect for both grandmas and bisexuals.
