Noting, that Jagwar Twin has “been doing this for a very long time,” and in turn “there have been many versions of Jagwar Twin bands and stuff like that,” being that his evolution have occurred in the digital age, Mike was curious if it bothered Jagwar at all that his “growth as an artist has played out on the internet.”
“I think it's cool. I mean, I've definitely like for sure, scrubbed some things. But I think it's cool, like I look back on myself and I'm like, man, I'm proud of you. You don't really know what you were doing. I still don't know what I'm doing.”
“But no,” he reiterated, “it's cool for people to see the journey. And I also think that because it's been such a long journey. I mean, I'm like 35. So like for this all to be happening now, it's like, you can still do it, don't give up.”
Noting he loves and grew up listening to all types of music, Jagwar’s currently in his Polish, German, Slavic era. “I mean, currently I'm exploring my ancestry with the Polish, German Slavic, Oompa music, and I've been on that journey for a bit now and that's been really fun.”
Jagwar Twin went on to perform an acoustic set of “ Soul is a Star,” “Happy Face,” and “Bad Feeling (Oompa Loompa).”
