  6. Oceansize to Dave Lombardo - Mr Mike Vennart

    2 APR

    Oceansize to Dave Lombardo - Mr Mike Vennart

    Oceansize to Empire State Bastard, Biffy Clyro to Cardiacs, there’s one talent who connects them all: Mr Mike Vennart. But what’s it like being Mr Dependable, going from the top slot at Reading Festival to Glasgow’s Cathouse? Being recruited by your favourite band, filling in for James on a week’s notice and taking Dave Lombardo to Aldi.  The man has seen and done it all.

  7. New Neurosis, Wildhearts Wishes & Ripcord Revelries

    26 MAR

    New Neurosis, Wildhearts Wishes & Ripcord Revelries

    This is not a drill! The mighty Neurosis are back and promoters across the globe are excited, but who will nab them first in the UK?  There’s also the sad news of Ginger Wildheart’s diagnosis to digest along with his demand to live the rest of his life to the full. And Gav recounts his trip to the first Ripcord Festival in Glasgow for a day of post metal riffs and far too many pints.

  8. Being Biffy Clyro’s Tour Manager (with Neil Anderson)

    19 MAR

    Being Biffy Clyro’s Tour Manager (with Neil Anderson)

    Being a tour manager at any level is an incredibly challenging role, but when the band schedule you’re responsible for includes headline sets at the likes of Leeds, Reading and Download, it takes a special kind of composure and professionalism to pull it off. So the fact that this week’s guest, Neil Anderson, has literally kept the Biffy Clyro show on the road for the best part of two decades is something to be celebrated. This is his “wholesome” tale, told for the first time.
