It might seem like a strange choice, but we are obsessed with pop songs and strong hooks so the challenge was not so much changing everything about the song, but elevating certain parts and adding our own touch so a song meant to appeal to teenage girls would in fact sound like a new Weaves tune. Over the course of one weekend we hibernated in Morgan&#8217;s house and pumped out this new version. It&#8217;s an infectious song without us but maybe it&#8217;s a licentious song with us.&#8221;\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Live dates:<\/strong><br \/>\n12\/05 Toronto, ON, Lees&#8217; Palace<br \/>\n07\/21-24 Huntington, UK, The Secret Garden Party<\/p>\n<p>For more information on Weaves, visit\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/weavesband.com\" target=\"_blank\">weavesband.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Weaves were asked by Rdio to record a cover for a compilation to be featured on the streaming service.
