The Regrettes Revisit Velvet Jones with New Material
Singer Lydia Night Talks 'Feel Your Feelings, Fool'
FEELING GOOD, BAD, AND EVERYTHING ELSE: When we last checked in with teenage rockers The Regrettes, they were just stepping into the spotlight at Velvet Jones (423 State St.), where they will return again, this time opening for Cherry Glazerr and Slow Hollows on Wednesday, December 28, at 8 p.m. Now, they will arrive with material from a soon-to-be-released album, Feel Your Feelings, Fool, and a Christmas single, a cover of “Marshmallow World.” I spoke with lead singer Lydia Night about feelings, the election, and Christmas.
Tell me about the new album title, Feel Your Feelings, Fool.
The whole album covers a spectrum of emotions and things I was going through over the first couple years of high school, and Feel Your Feelings, Fool, is pretty straightforward: We want people to stop hiding their feelings and pretending they don’t feel a certain way. Especially being a teenager constantly surrounded by kids who want to suppress their feelings to feel their feelings because they feel invalid or stupid, they should know it’s completely okay and valid and healthy to feel them.
