"The kids of San Cisco are super young\u2014all under the age of 20\u2014but what they lack in years they more than make up for in talent (not to mention coolness!). Australia has been hogging this rad foursome for years now, but the band has finally released their debut album in the States and are already hitting up cities across America with the support of opening acts (and Teen Vogue faves) like Supercute and Chaos Chaos.\n\nWe caught up with Scarlett, the drummer and lone lady in the band, while she was wandering around the East Village on a rare free moment in New York City (a place she loves, but only occasionally visits thanks to her jam-packed schedule jamming out on stage). Of the self-titled LP, she says, \"It's quite deep, and there are lots of different sounds. There's punk, dirt-rock songs, and there's electronic, disco, atmospheric songs.\" Sounds like everything awesome, right? \"It kind of jumps from lots of different genres. We're really proud of it,\" she adds. And for good reason.\n\nSo before they make it big (and everybody at school is going on and on about their \"new favorite band,\"), here are the five cool things we learned about Scarlett (and San Cisco!) that you need to know:\n\nUnlike most musicians we talk to, she didn't \"always know\" she'd be a star.\n\n \"I've been playing drums since I was 10, but I couldn't promise myself that I'd have a career in music, so I was always working hard on other things like school. I went to university up until last year and I've always had that Plan B. I guess it was just this year when we started making touring our focus that I felt I could do this for a living.\"\n\nShe's a girl's girl touring with a band of boys. And it's not easy.\n\n \"It's actually really hard work when you're the only girl on the road! I think it's the maturity levels. It's pretty tough, because you want to fit in and you don't have a partner-in-crime. At the beginning, I just wanted to be one of the boys, but now I'll tell them to get lost if they're giving me trouble.\"\n\nShe's really into Phoenix and David Bowie.\n\n \"I've been listening to the new Phoenix album, which is really cool, the new Yeah Yeah Yeahs' album, and the new David Bowie, which is really different from his old stuff. There's also this band in Australia that I really like at the moment called The Preatures. They have an amazing single out at the moment called 'Is This How You Feel?'\"\n\nShe gets her love of music from her rad parents.\n\n \"My parents had pretty good music taste, so I didn't have to look very far for great music. They fed me the classics. I grew up listening to a lot of Bowie, Blondie, Patti Smith, Neil Young, The Rolling Stones, and then some new stuff as well, like Queens of the Stone Age.\"\n\nShe's a feminist.\n\n \"I look up to Kitten Gordon, she's got some really interesting insights on women in the music industry, and women as artists and rebels. I can kind of relate to that. I also look up to Kim Gordon, Patti Smith, and Debbie Harry. And Karen O, she's awesome!\"\n\nNow watch their music video, because it's awesome!\n\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
