Paramore and Tegan and Sara are touring together all summer, sharing more than 30 stages across America and spending lots of time hanging out backstage.
But what, exactly, do Hayley Williams, the flame-haired singer for the Tennessee pop-punk band, and Canadian twin sisters Tegan and Sara Quin talk about? What else: Romantic relationships, the hardships of being a girl in the music biz, and... Barbie Dolls.
Before last week's opening date of the Honda Civic Tour in Raleigh, NC, (read SPIN's concert review here) the three huddled together to chat with SPIN.com about their lives. Williams carried a present from a fan: a SpongeBob SquarePants Barbie Doll still in its package. It's not her first.
"I have only like 20 right now," said Williams. "That’s a lot of Barbies for a 21-year-old."
"20 more than I have," said Sara, 30.[Laughs.]
Read on for more of the trio's wholly fun and entertaining backstage conversation:
SPIN: When did Paramore first meet Tegan & Sara?TQ: We met at Chad [Gilbert, New Found Glory guitarist and Williams' boyfriend]'s house. I was doing a lot of things, specifically chasing Lindsey, my girlfriend at the time. I was trying to convert her, and I successfully did. Chad's house helped with that, so thank you for that. Love prevailed. We met through Hayley's boyfriend -- Do you guys talk about that? Is it OK to stay that?HW: Oh yeah, of course. I'm actually a real person with a boyfriend.
SQ: And then it was in Nashville that we met. We were doing a headlining show at the Ryman. We had played there one other time, but this was the first time we were headlining. So it was an exciting night, and Hayley was there to support.TQ: She booed the whole show. She was very, very drunk.
HW: I was. I was wasted. TQ: She came down in like this weird swinging harness, like this Cirque du Soleil thing. "Make it about you, Hayley." [Laughs].
SQ: No, you were so lovely. We thought you were so sweet, and after the show we were like, "I wanna crush her she's so cute."TQ: We were all really excited to do the tour. I'd only met you, and I think that's when Sara stopped complaining about having to do the tour. Just kidding.
HW: That was a good show, though. I brought a lot of friends and a lot of them had never seen you guys or heard a lot of your music.
SPIN: Hayley, Why did you ask Tegan and Sara to come on this tour?
HW: Honestly, a lot of my friends got me into you guys a while ago, people I met when we first started touring. We never tour with girls, and I guess there's not a lot of girl singers I just love.TQ: You could've asked Rihanna.
HW: Oh, that's true.SQ: Or, Cher. [Laughs].
HW: There's not a whole lot of females right now in music where I'm like, "I want to play with those people." This tour is a really big deal for us, and I wanted to have a band that has been around long enough to establish something important. I wanted an important band.TQ: You wanted to siphon our importance.


SPIN: When did you two first hear Paramore?
TQ: When I first heard your music, and this was before I'd even met Chad, I heard about you guys through our publicist. He was trying to get us on the cover of Alternative Press. He said, "They've already had a girl on the cover this year," because that's how it works in the world. And I was like, "What bitch is on the cover?" [Laughs]. I'm kidding. I was like, "Who is on the cover?" And he's like, "This band Paramore." I said, "I've never heard of Paramore." I Googled it and I was like, "That girl's hot." This was right when Riot! came out, so I downloaded that. SQ: It's true. Tegan came in and was telling everybody and playing it.
TQ: Because there really is only one spot for girls in the world to be popular at one time, I was like, "Here's the queen now of our music, and we must all bow down to Hayley." No, I was like, "This band is so cool." That's the kind of music I listen to, and that's the kind of music I grew up listening to. I thought your image was really cool, too, because right away I found out how young you were, and in all your interviews, you were talking about wanting to keep that image. We graduated high school and then we signed a record deal. But everybody pushed us to be models. They were like, "You guys are pretty. You should wear makeup. Move in this direction." We were like, "We want to play our guitars and wear headbands on Letterman." It took us a while. They were really pushing us to be something we weren't, and I think you held out to be what you wanted to be. 

SPIN: Hayley, have you experienced the same pressure to be someone else?
HW: That's the worst. When we first got signed we had never done real publicity photos. We had only had friends take pictures of us. We had this guy come out and take photos for the album and he wanted me to wear ChapStick to make my lips look shinier. I didn't wear makeup, so I was like, "No!" I pitched a fit, and everyone said, "Oh, Hayley's a bitch." That was my first experience with photo shoots. I wanted to be a guy pretty much. TQ: Don't we all?

MM、
我来插楼了。

HW: Right? TQ: It's a funny thing in our industry, because if you're not really glammed out or girly, you are in this weird gray zone. They don't know where to place you, and you have to fight to hold on to your uniqueness. I think it's good that you did.

SQ: Did you ever find that once you hold onto it and you're accepted into the mainstream, then the people that aren't in the mainstream start saying, "You're actually not that xxxxx"? That happened to Tegan and I. We were really representing alternative women, and we were queer and all these things. All of the sudden we started to get more popular. We were able to sell more records. We were able to tour with the Killers. People were like, "You sold out. You're not alternative anymore."
xxxx = 和谐

TQ: You're not a woman anymore. Your vagina is gone.
SQ: You're actually a straight man now, so congratu****inglations. You're just like, "Oh my god, really? We're not cool and alternative and queer?" That's hard, too, sometimes. HW: I went through the phase where I didn't want to wear ChapStick. I didn't want to wear makeup. I didn't want to be a girl at all. But I started to grow up, and I was like, "OK, I think I'll try to wear mascara onstage now." It evolved and my hair got brighter. People noticed and said, "What happened to this girl that looks like a guy?"
TQ: "She joined Tegan and Sara!" In a weird way, it's an analogy for growing up. Being in a band is like a living proof of your second adolescence. You start to change, from the way your music sounds to the people you tour with to the people around you, even. It's tough sometimes. We send Sara to her room a lot. HW: [Laughs]. You can come on our bus if that happens.
SPIN: Paramore has had its fair share of support slots. Hayley, what do you like best -- opening or headlining?
HW: I like both. TQ: Queen. [Laughs].
HW: I've always loved being the underdog. So, in one sense, to headline, you almost feel like it's a copout. If we're playing a festival and NOFX is there, I know I'm going to get hounded from the other stage from some other band. I love that. I like the challenge and the intimidation of that, going up there and exploding on stage. This tour is cool to me because we've been on tour for five-and-a-half years now, and the same kids that were there in the front row at these tiny little places, like when we played CBGBs for the first time, some of the kids that went to that show come to our shows in New York now at these bigger venues. It's really rewarding. To me, we did something right if those kids can come to the show and have fun and not be like,
"Hayley, you don't look like a boy anymore. I hate you."
