\n\tOlivia Rodrigo<\/a>\u2019s new music video<\/a> for her \u201cExpectations\u201d remix with Chappell Roan<\/a> is full of fun cameos, including David Byrne<\/a> as a game-show host and producer Dan Nigro as a guy with a robot voice. But for fans of New York<\/a>\u2019s underground rock scene, there\u2019s another surprise in store: Jake and Matt Derting, the identical siblings better known as the cool, scuzzy glam-punk\/noise-pop duo Venus Twins<\/a>, show up as part of Rodrigo\u2019s team in a Family Feud<\/em>-style contest about halfway through the video.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhen we reach them over Zoom<\/em> the day after the video\u2019s premiere, both brothers are still buzzing with excitement, and they say their phones have been absolutely blowing up with notifications. \u201cIt\u2019s really hard to reply to everybody, which is a good thing,\u201d Matt says. \u201cI want to reply to everybody, though. I want to be like, \u2018Thank you!’\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tVenus Twins<\/a>, who have graced some of the city\u2019s finest club stages<\/a> as part of the live lineup of Fantasy of a Broken Heart<\/a> in addition to releasing music on their own, first heard from a casting agent about a possible music-video gig about a month ago. \u201cIt was non-specific,\u201d Jake says. \u201cI think maybe it did say, \u2018Grammy-winning artist,\u2019 but they were hush-hush about it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI think they were just looking for punks,\u201d Matt says. \u201c\u2018Interesting-looking people and punks,\u2019 I think was the quote.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe casting person probably found us on Instagram<\/a> and was like, \u2018These twins are freaky,\u201d Jake adds.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe two of them, who grew up in the Fort Worth, Texas, area before relocating to New York, have some prior on-screen experience, including a 2024 episode<\/a> of MrBeast<\/a>\u2018s YouTube show in which the online prankster convened 100 identical twins to fight for a cash prize. \u201cWe fought to the death and then came out the other end,\u201d Jake says. So they were ready for anything.<\/p>\n

\n\tA couple of weeks after that first casting call in September, they heard that they\u2019d gotten the music-video gig. \u201cWe didn\u2019t even know who it was until literally the night before,\u201d Matt says. \u201cAnd then we saw it was Olivia Rodrigo and we\u2019re like, \u2018Oh, sick.\u2019 Then they said something about Chappell Roan. And we\u2019re like, \u2018Oh, whoa, it\u2019s a collab!’\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tThe next morning, they reported to a \u201cbig warehouse studio\u201d in Astoria, Queens. \u201cWe pulled up into the place and we just parked in an illegal spot and then walked in,\u201d Jake says.<\/p>\n

\n\tThey spent about an hour in hair and makeup getting ready for their big moment. \u201cThey were just going crazy, pulling our fucking hair into liberty spikes<\/a>,\u201d Jake continues. \u201cThey literally took the whole hour to do Chappell\u2019s makeup on us. And I would do that again.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThey were impressed by the scale of the shoot, which featured something like 100 people running around the set, compared to the \u201ctwo plus maybe a friend\u201d-style operation that Venus Twins are more used to.<\/p>\n

\n\tWith their punk-rock look complete, they chatted very briefly with the video\u2019s stars. Both of them tried to play it cool with Rodrigo. \u201cShe was so sweet,\u201d Matt says. \u201cReally great energy.\u201d Jake decided it wasn\u2019t the right moment to tell her about Venus Twins\u2019 music: \u201cI\u2019m trying to kick it with her. I wasn\u2019t like, \u2018Hey, you should check out our evil band.’\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThough they didn\u2019t get to talk as much to Roan (\u201cShe was on the other side of the game show,\u201d Jake notes. \u201cShe\u2019s our rival\u201d), they did have a nice chat with Byrne. \u201cHe introduced himself as David,\u201d Matt says. \u201cI was like, \u2018Yeah, I know who you are.\u2019 He was so cool.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWhen the cameras started rolling, they tried to tap into the energy that director Bardia Zeinali and the rest of the crew wanted from them. \u201cI was really trying to lock in and beat my chest,\u201d Jake says. \u201cWe were the mean family.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cYeah,\u201d Matt agrees. \u201cThey kept telling us to be crazy.\u201d<\/p>\n
