Get A Good Look World Tour
Purpose is at the cornerstone of Sports’ resonance and impressive second album Get A Good
Look. Childhood friends Cale Chronister and Christian Theriot have come to realize that life
can change at any second. Perspectives are reshaped, relationships rise or fall, and home is
anywhere you want it to be. For Sports, it’s the intricacies of their lifelong friendship, the
victories and shortcomings of growing up, and the lessons learned along the way that have
influenced their worldview. Growing up on the outskirts of Tulsa, Oklahoma, life for Cale and
Christian revolved around watching MTV and going to church. The pair first met in middle
school and formed an instant connection with both seeking to break out of the conformity of
their quaint small town upbringing. “We have been making and recording music under
different names since we were about 13,” they share. The genesis of Sports would come
almost a decade later. On choosing the name Sports, Cale and Christian show reverence to
their parents. “They’re big sports fans. It’s like we’re fulfilling some childhood dream of
being in the NBA.”
Musically, Sports inspires images of the youthful idyll of bygone times through dulcet melodies
and sun-drenched funk synths. Their elaborate, mind-expanding arrangements are warm and
enveloping, creating a world where David Bowie, The Beach Boys, and The Clash collide.
Sports first introduced themselves with their 2015 debut single “You Are The Right One,” a
concentrated slow drip of funk. Their debut project, Naked All The Time (2015) and its
follow-up, People Can’t Stop Chillin (2016) delivered additional critically-praised singles
including: “Panama,” “Whatever You Want,” and “Someone You’d Rather Be Dating.” The
band returned in 2018 with their first full-length album, Everyone’s Invited, a vibrant offering
that received acclaim from Pitchfork, Pigeons & Planes, and plays on KCRW’s Morning
Becomes Eclectic.
