The first time Liza Colby and Kia Warren recorded music together, they looked at each other and collapsed into a shared giggle fit in the studio. Since then, they’ve done the same during live performances; it’s one of many habits of theirs that make their relationship akin to iconic sitcom friendships like Ethel and Lucy<\/a>, Laverne and Shirley<\/a>, Pam and Gina<\/a>.<\/p>\n

When they met, Colby and Warren were both front-women of rock bands, Liza Colby Sound and Revel in Dimes. Now, they have their own band, SUSU, which released its debut single, “Let’s Get High,” on 4\/20 this year.<\/p>\n

The song is both an ode to the members’ friendship and a poetic depiction of psychedelic trips they’ve taken together. “We were crossing our frequencies \/ a place that we could escape to \/ and no one else could find,” Colby sings, to which Warren replies: “I could see you looking at me \/ but I was looking at me through your eyes \/ all the boxes were turning to circles \/ couldn’t tell what was yours from what’s mine.”<\/p>\n

In the video, colorful images of each woman’s face singing alternate with trippy imagery of lakes, trees, and jellyfish. With the members separated due to the coronavirus, the concept behind it was basically, “Can we please make a video out of nothing? Can we make this happen when we’re on opposite sides of the country?” Colby laughs. The final product is meant to emulate the lava-lamp-like screensavers on laptops \u2014 the perfect visual to stare at and meditate to while tripping.<\/p>\n
