For years now, Matt Berninger has been speaking about creating a tv present along with his brother Tom after they collaborated with one another on Mistaken For Strangers, the sorta documentary that accompanied Bother Will Discover Me again in 2013. After we caught up with Berninger in 2020, he was nonetheless plugging away at it. And in a brand new interview with NME, he says he’s nonetheless attempting to determine tips on how to make it work, and revealed the title of the present for the primary time: Dos Apes. (Dos Apes can also be the title of an NFT assortment.)

“Not not like Frankenstein, a lightning bolt has began its coronary heart once more!” Berninger mentioned. “It’s a extremely nice present. It’s known as Dos Apes, and with the pandemic we needed to put it down. Dos Apes is alive, and that’s all I can say. There was nothing taking place due to the writers strikes and stuff like that, however we’ll see. I’m not going to drown in initiatives like I used to be earlier than, however that it’s one in every of them that I actually need to do and it would occur.”

That doesn’t sound fully promising, however Berninger did give some extra details about what the sitcom would possibly entail: “There’s lots of element from autobiographical issues, however not simply mine — additionally Walt Martin and Matt Barrick from the Walkmen have all types of tales. Tom my brother is actually the hero of all the things. Tom and I play ourselves, my spouse isn’t in it, however the entire chemistry and DNA of the present may be very completely different than something I feel that exists.”

“It’s actually cool, joyful and humorous. The Mistaken For Strangers doc that Tom, Carin [Besser, wife and collaborator] and I made captures the spirit of this tv present, nevertheless it’s not going to be a pretend doc or something like that,” Berninger continued. “However who is aware of? It won’t be something. It’d simply be on our laptops without end.”

We’ll see! The Nationwide simply launched their second album of 2023, Chuckle Observe.
