Recently, Brooklyn-based band American Authors returned to their home state of New York to take over Time Square and play at the Best Buy Theater as they continue their Honda Civic Tour across the US. I luckily had the chance to hang out with members from the band pre-show to talk grooming, style, and their latest collaboration - getting groomed by AXE Hair for their video, "Luck," and for the nights show here in NYC... and really, what better way to wear-test the grooming collection than on a group of real rockstars doing what they do best!?
Trend Styled: You guys just partnered with AXE Hair for your latest video, "Luck," and for tonight's show... what did you guys think?
American Authors: "It's been great! The creative control they let us have on the video shoot with our personal styles and our style as a band has been awesome. They've been there to help amplify it all... let us do our thing, let us work with the product too."
TS: How'd it hold?!
AA: "Grrrreat!... The whole time!! It was good for this video too... it was great to have them there to help us portray different characters with very different hairstyles."
TS: You guys all have your own style but over the years has it honed into one consesus of what you all would be going for on stage and in your videos?
AA: "We have our own personal styles but we help influence each other to try new things and maybe go out of our comfort zone and try new things stylistically fashion wise. We do have one rule on stage though... muted colors! [But you can wear hot pink underwear!]"
TS: You guys are touring through the rest of this year, what's in store for 2015?
AA: "Finishing up the Honda Civic Tour now... then we will go to Europe to tour then come back to the states for radio shows but come the new year we're getting back into the studio and start recording some new tunes... album number two!"
*Special thanks to AXE and Edelman for a great night!*
