Little Big Town had one of the stand out performances last night at the CMT Music Awards. They talked to us about how they came up with idea and what’s next with their new single “Day Drinking”.
The colorful performance from Little Big Town of “Day Drinking” wasn’t their original idea. They told us the idea came from a friend who they’ve worked with before. They were told that kind of performance had never been done been, so they said they were “gullible” enough to do it.
The performance was so amazing to watch, but performing it was a different battle. They joked they got a “cannon of chalk to the eyeball” during rehearsals. Some members of the band were spitting blue and others saw multiple colors when they blew their noses.
The audience was in on the performance too. Little Big Town said, the audience “had super soaker guns of paint that they were shooting” at them. It looked like a party. A messy party!
LBT told us that they just finished the music video for “Day Drinking” and there was no paint involved, but there were drinks. The key to drinking and shooting a music video is “everything in moderation”. As for the song, Little Big Town said, it was “one of the first things we wrote for this record.” If they’re starting off day drinking I can’t wait to hear how the rest of the new album sounds.
