00:00The world-famous KROQ at KROQ, Miles the DJ here.
00:03What's really fun about doing live radio in L.A. on KROQ is, you know, rock stars can show up at any time.
00:10And we have some sold-out shows with Royal Otis going down in Hollywood next week, and they have graced us with their presence today.
00:17Hell yeah.
00:18Pleasure to see you, Royal Otis. Thanks for being here.
00:21Three huge songs on KROQ over the past two years or so.
00:25So, like I said, I think three, yeah, we've had Linger, we've had Murder on the Dance Floor, we've messed around with Oysters.
00:32Of course, Sofa King, a huge hit for KROQ as well, and you're going to play those songs, some underplays at the Troubadour next week.
00:40Just announced Ohana in September.
00:43How's everything feeling, you know, on your side of this?
00:47Overwhelming.
00:48Yeah?
00:48No, it's good. It's exciting and nerve-wracking at the same time.
00:52I can imagine it being a lot, right? Because, I mean, the last record is kind of still having its life a little bit right now.
01:00It feels like yesterday when you played the Palladium in Hollywood, and now we're already ramping up a new album cycle.
01:06Yeah, I know, it's weird. It just keeps going. But it's been good. Yeah.
01:11I mean, you've been teasing stuff on Instagram, I will say.
01:16A little bit.
01:16I feel like things might be coming.
01:18Something's coming, yeah.
01:20The storms are brewing.
01:21We can't say when.
01:23We can't say when.
01:24We're not breaking news right now yet.
01:25I don't know when.
01:26I'm not sure.
01:26Yeah.
01:27I don't think we know when.
01:29No.
01:30Royal Lotus in studio here at KROQ, live on a Thursday.
01:35Troubadour going down next week.
01:37We have free tickets with Kevin Ryder's show from 3 to 7 later today.
01:39Also tomorrow with Klein Alley's show.
01:42Ohana in September.
01:43How did that slot come to be?
01:45I only found out today, to be honest.
01:49You just found out?
01:50Yeah.
01:51That you're playing with Hosier and Dana Point.
01:54It's a great lineup.
01:55You got Green Day on the bill.
01:56I saw that.
01:57Oh yeah.
01:57Let's see.
01:58Does that happen often when, you know, plans start to happen in the Royal Lotus world and
02:03you're kind of the last to find out?
02:05Yeah, for sure.
02:06Well, I don't think it's intentional or anything, but I think when things are moving fast and
02:12stuff, sometimes things just get mixed up.
02:15Well, let me ask you this.
02:16Now that we know that Ohana is happening with Royal Lotus and you got Eddie Vedder on the
02:19bill, you got Green Day, you got Hosier, you got Kings of Leon.
02:22How does that feel?
02:22Oh yeah.
02:23That's sick.
02:24I'm sure we'll stick around after if we can.
02:27Yeah.
02:27Check them all out.
02:28So, for anyone catching a Royal Lotus song for the first time next week at the Troubadour
02:33or Ohana in September, what should people expect?
02:39The unexpected.
02:40New songs.
02:41Oh, a new song.
02:42All right.
02:42We can say that.
02:43Yeah.
02:43Four new songs.
02:45There you go.
02:45Yeah.
02:46Four new songs at the Troubadour next week.
02:48The songs you love that you've heard on K-Rock.
02:50Royal Otis.
02:51We have free tickets later today with Kevin Ryder and tomorrow during Klein Alley Show.
02:55Thanks for stopping in, guys.
02:56Thank you for having us.
