Adorable Youth! I am indebted.

"Skating Polly explains why they started their band"

"In 2009, 9 year old Kelli Mayo and five years older Peyton Bighorse found themselves living in the same house when Mayo’s father moved in with Bighorse’s mother.  A child and a mid-teen suddenly forced together, that should go well!  The result should have been a jealousy fit lasting years, especially given the young Mayo’s sometimes disturbingly precocious nature.  There is a glorious early interview with the pair on YouTube in which a then 12 year old Mayo sounds like an over-verbose philosophy professor, while Bighorse resignedly rolls her eyes.

They can actually be a hilarious double act in interviews.  In a discussion with Amby in 2016 the pair were asked to sum up their bandmate in one word.  Bighorse went first and her word for Mayo was 'genius'.  Mayo’s for Bighorse was 'nurd'.  Bighorse, did a visible double-take before calmly coming back with 'I guess I should say creative genius, not all round genius'."
