What is up, Daddy Gang? It is your founding father, Alex Cooper, with Call Her Daddy. Riley Keough, welcome to Call Her Daddy. Thank you. I am such a big fan. Thank you for being here. Thank you for having me. Of course. I huge Daisy Jones and the Sixth Girl. Oh, cool. Like binged the whole thing and sitting.
How did Riley Keough's childhood shape her identity?
Loved it. Thanks for watching. My husband was like, all right, you could take a break. I'm like, no, no, no. It's kind of one of those where you just got to get. Keep going. Yeah. I got to get to the end. It was awesome. What was your favorite part of playing that role? I think getting to learn to sing and play guitar was my favorite part because it was... I think that's one of my favorite things about acting in general is learning a whole new skill set. And this one was very... Normally you do a few rehearsals or do if you're, you know, training to do, I don't know, to be a dancer or whatever. I don't know. Like I've never done something so involved. Like I haven't had to fully learn to like sing and play guitar.
So I found that really fun. Wait, you were doing like full voice lessons. We were doing, yeah, like we had band practice every day and it was like a year long. But we needed it. Like none of us, not none of us, a few of us had never picked up an instrument and or sang. Was there ever a point in your life that you would have considered a music career? Never. No. No. Never.
What challenges did Riley face growing up as Elvis' granddaughter?
No, I still would never. I'm not a singer. I feel like you have a good voice unless they auto-tuned it. It's fine. They didn't auto-tune it, but I have a fine voice. I just got by, but I'm a realist and I'm not a singer. The fact that you're telling me they didn't edit your voice, you have a good voice. They didn't edit it, I think. You call them, they're like, oh, babe, that shit was auto-tuned. I don't think they auto-tuned it. I think the whole point was because it was meant to sound 1970s that you wouldn't do that. You sounded gorgeous. I felt proud that I was able to do it because there was a conversation about potentially getting vocal stint Doubles or something. Oh, my God. And so I felt really determined to make it work.
And I feel proud we made it work. You know, I don't think I'm like the best singer in the world. And I, you know, that's fine. You made it work with Flying Colors. I made it work. I love how you're like, oh, like I, no, no, no. I like never sang. From my research, you and Dakota Johnson were in a band together in New York City. Don't lie to my face.
I don't know.
this is so funny this comes up so often and like i think that we need to do something here because yes we were in a band but the band was me and her sitting with her brother around a table in her apartment in new york with photo booth like doing covers of songs but here's the thing neither of us were confident singers so we would just kind of like all sing together Oh, so you were all competing for like the lead role. We were all the lead vocalists. You're all the lead. Wait, what was the band called? Folky Porn. Folky Porn? Perfect for Call Her Daddy. Wait, I'm obsessed. I had a band at one point and I was like so committed. Did you really? Yeah, but it was so bad. What did you do? So, yeah, well, here's the thing.
You know, I started as like the electric guitarist. Cool. Cool. But that is like loosely saying that the only song I could. A loose electric guitar. Yeah. I relate. I'm a loose guitar player. I like looked incredible holding it. OK. But the minute I would get going, it was I was giving nothing. Right.
What was Riley's experience with music and acting?
I knew how to play the like whatever that song is. I could do those like three little things. That was all I knew. Our band was called The Aliens. It was a big deal. It was in my basement. And then we changed it to Green Jelly. Cool. Were the other people in the band also loose guys? musicians? Everyone was loose. Okay. Everyone was loose. Okay. We were kind of just there for the vibes. Yeah. Our sign was on like printer paper with like a little marker. Right. It was edgy. It was the thing. I actually paid my neighbors at one point like 25 cents to come watch us perform.
