Six-Pack Stories from Consequence and Lagunitas comes home to the Petaluma, California brewery and welcomes Blu DeTiger and her brother Rex to answer our bottle-bound questions. Watch above or via YouTube.
Long before Blu DeTiger and her brother, Rex, were opening up the 2026 Live at Lagunitas concert series, they were School of Rock kids tearing through CBGB at ages 7 and 10 — right as the legendary venue was shutting its doors. “The walls were kinda coming off, and all the kids were, like, taking pieces of the wall,” Blu recalls. She grabbed a piece. “Whoever has the toilet” might have left with some DeTiger stickers, according to Rex.
Sitting down with Consequence and Lagunitas for the latest episode of Six-Pack Stories (recorded at Lagunitas Brewery in Petaluma, California), the siblings trace their history from nabbing a souvenir from one of rock’s most iconic spaces to viral covers and headlining tours. The conversation finds them settling in the same way they connect musically, acting as each other’s natural anchor. They discuss their New York upbringing, run down the sibling act canon (including their run-in with Hanson), and reveal the advantages of playing music with someone you’ve known your whole life.
“There’s a lot of trust and honesty,” Blu says. “When we’re writing and collaborating on music, it’s way easier to be honest with your sibling.” Rex agrees, but adds with perhaps some unintentional sincerity, “It’s easier to communicate, and then I guess it could be harder ’cause you don’t realize maybe the weight of your words. Maybe things cut deep when you don’t realize.”
But more often than not, they’re on the same wavelength. For their bucket list of folks to join them on the Lagunitas couch, Blu names Prince, David Bowie, and Chic’s Bernard Edwards (her favorite bass player, whom she talked about for our 100 Best Bassists of All Time list), and Rex has to agree. “We grew up together, so we liked a lot of the same stuff, so you kind of took some of mine,” he says, before adding David Byrne and — to Blu’s surprise — Gandhi to the list.
They’re also both big on late-’90s, early-’00s hits for party-starting AUX picks: Jennifer Lopez’s “Waiting for Tonight,” a healthy dose of Black Eyed Peas, and Blu’s go-to karaoke pick “Sweet Escape” by Gwen Stefani all make the cut. As does, of course, their new single “Whisper,” a prime example of what Blu calls “main character” music: “Walking through New York City on a nice day or a night out, putting in my headphones and the world kinda disappears. Like, I wanna strut down the street and be like, ‘I’m dope. I’m badass.’”
As siblings locked into each other’s literal rhythms, the conversational comfort is evident. Watch Blu and Rex DeTiger on Six-Pack Stories above (or via YouTube), and then crack open another Lagunitas while staying tuned for more episodes (and more Live at Lagunitas concerts!).
