Amy Shark Talks Acoustic Tour and Tom DeLonge Collab

Amy Shark talked with ABC Radio NSW about her upcoming acoustic tour and how the government almost stopped her collaboration with Tom DeLonge:

“He was like, ‘We’ve gotta change the hook because I’m so in this government thing and all this UFO stuff; I’m in so deep with these guys; I just don’t want to bring attention to it!”
McDougall quipped, “If you’ve signed an NDA that you’re not allowed to talk about aliens, you can’t sing the word ‘alien.’ That actually makes a lot of sense.”
Shark took on the challenge and ended up changing the hook so the pair would sing, “You’re my only friend in the room.”

Amy Shark Talks (Almost) New Found Glory

Jason Tate Feb 8, 2024

Amy Shark talked with Mary Varvaris of The Music, and dropped this little tidbit about almost touring in New Found Glory:

Another moment where Shark nearly lost her mind was when she nearly became the touring guitarist for the pop-punk band New Found Glory. Shark has contacts in the pop-punk scene, nabbing blink-182’s Mark Hoppus for her Love Monster track Psycho and developing friendships with other bands. Shark’s come a long way from the days of being a “sweaty little emo”.
The story goes: “I surprisingly talk to a lot of them [pop-punk bands] now. Like, I’ve spoken to Deryck [Whibley] from Sum 41 and I’ve spoken to New Found Glory. I nearly went on tour with New Found Glory, playing in their band,” Shark says. “That’s something I haven’t said out loud! But I had Australian Idol, and that was coming about the same time we were working out if I was going to do Idol or not.
“One of their guitarists [Chad Gilbert, who was receiving intense chemotherapy for a rare cancer called pheochromocytoma in February 2023] is not well, and I’m like, I know so many New Found Glory songs. They’re like, ‘Do you want to come and be in the band?’ And I was like, What a crazy idea, but I kind of like it! So, yeah, I nearly went on tour with them.”
