AFM: So a lot of natives know you from Barcelona, how did that gig start?

Marley: So basically I met Chris Phillips, who is Zowie Bowie, and we were like: we want to put a high-energy dance club show together for Vegas. But we were living here in the Valley. So we were like “how can we do that?” Barcelona is the hottest nightclub and they were opening the Scottsdale location, because they had two locations, and so we did sort of an audition for them. They were like “alright, let’s see how it goes,” and the first night we were there it was like, standing ovation, and encore, and it went over so well that Dani came over to us and was like “OK, how about every Thursday, Friday, Saturday?” And we were like “Yea!”

I mean, we were pretty much flat broke, and just sort of crossing our fingers and just hoping for something to come along to sort of put us in the position to go to Vegas and do all of the things we wanted to do, and Barcelona was the perfect opportunity. It just launched us into everything we wanted to do.

AFM: What are some of the highlights of your time spent there?

Marley: So many, I mean of course being on stage, especially in season. I mean the lines wrapped around the building and the energy in there was so intense and fun, with the Phoenix Open and all the events, Barrett Jackson, and all of that coming through town. It was just such a classy place to go. It was just jam packed. People from all over the country coming in, meeting people every night from all over the world. To have people coming back year after year and saying “hey, this is the highlight trip, is coming to see you guys perform at Barcelona,” it was amazing. Plus, having celebrities on stage with us, and really getting to enjoy all that the season has to offer. When Scottsdale is in season it’s just slammin’. It was great.

AFM: What kind of celebrities went on stage with you?

Marley: Well my favorite was Paula Abdul, at the time American Idol was super hot and she would come up there and just — I remember one night, I forget what she was doing, but she was drinking and she pretended to make out with both of us on stage. She’s wild and fun and I always liked that about her.
