Warped Tour '08: Charlotte Sometimes' First Impression - 'It Is a Boys' World'

Charlotte Sometimes has one crazy summer ahead of her: As she admitted to Buzznet before the Warped Tour kicked off, not only had she never played on the trek before, she hadn't even been to a single Warped show. We reconvened with the singer/songwriter at the June 20 launch to get her first impressions.

DJ Rossstar: Today is your first day at the Warped Tour ever. Is it a boys' world?

Charlotte Sometimes: It is a boys' world.

DJ Rossstar: Have you made any ladyfriends yet since you've been here?

Sometimes: No, not yet. My merch girl.

DJ Rossstar: Is this the first time you've met your merch girl, or did you already knew her?

Sometimes: I met her a few weeks ago.

DJ Rossstar: Who do you like on the Warped Tour? We got Katy Perry ... she's a girl.

Sometimes: Katy Perry. I just met her today, but we didn't get to talk in full, so we're not friends yet.

DJ Rossstar: You haven't made [a] collaboration together yet?

Sometimes: We haven't yet, but hopefully.

DJ Rossstar: You can hang with the boys?

Sometimes: I can hang with the guys. I have three older brothers. I'm used to the boys ... so I don't mind. But the girls are cool too. I know a lot of the girls that are working the booths and stuff, but I don't know the girls who are playing.

DJ Rossstar: So this whole tour, are you just gonna play songs from the new album [her May debut, Waves and the Both of Us], or are you gonna go back to the old days [before you were signed]?

Sometimes: I'm gonna play from this album. I think the other stuff is too acoustic/folky for the Warped Tour crowd.

DJ Rossstar: Maybe for Lilith Fair.

Sometimes: We're gonna start a new Lilith Fair, dammit. 

DJ Rossstar: When did that stop? Didn't it end in 2000?

Sometimes: Yeah. [Ed note: The tour actually ended in 1999.] I think they tried to make a new one this year, and I was gonna be a part of it, called Girl Frenzy, and it totally got trashed.

DJ Rossstar: So last year when I was here, all the girls looked like Hayley [Williams]. They had red hair [with] the blond in it. They had the belt. Are there any Charlotte look-alikes that you've seen today?

Sometimes: Actually, yeah. I see a lot of 1950s poofy dresses going on, so that's kind of exciting. You can still hang with the boys and rock a dress.

DJ Rossstar: Or the boys can wear a dress too. It's Warped Tour.

Sometimes: It's Warped Tour. You never know what can happen.

Charlotte is such an incredibly gifted singer. I saw her first show in Jacksonville, Florida last April at Jack Rabbits. I was blown away. She has a sound all of her own and that's what separates Charlotte from other female lead singers. Charlottes band is totally great. I loved every minute of their performance. I must add that after her set she was so approachable and greatful. I think she and her band are just terrific and I cannot wait to see her again at Warped in Jacksonville. I also must add I am not a relative, employee of her record company, Have only met her once. I was just totally impressed and had to post this when I saw DJ's article. Charlotte Sometimes you TOTALLY rock! Just like your MySpace. See you in a few weeks, Kimberly in St. Augustine

I totally agree with you Kimberly. Charlotte was incredibly kind and very funny. I had only spoken to her once over the phone but we clicked right away. (Sometimes interviews can feel a bit forced) I hope you laughed while watching the interview as much as I did conducting it. Let me know who else you would like to see me interview and I will try to make it happy for you :)

Haha the dress comment is funny. Guy's in dresses kinda creep me out though. What's even worse is I saw a guy yesterday wearing a skirt. x_x
