The Boys in the Band Podcast Peter Smith & Richard Gallagher

Instant reaction after Razorlight SMASHED IT at Hammersmith Apollo on the final night of their tour. Awesome gig, so much energy (eventually!) down the front and great to see such a huge reception to hits old and new. Here’s Pete & Rich’s post-gig verdict!

This week on The Boys in the Band Podcast we're delighted to be joined by Dan Haggis, drummer in The Wombats.Dan talks about the transformative impact of their dance floor fillers like 'Let's Dance To Joy Division', the story of an evolving sound which runs through each of their albums - and how they're popularity and passion for the band still endures 20 years after getting together.
You can actually pick up a special 15th anniversary reissue of their debut album A Guide to Love, Loss & Desperation - it's the first time you can get it on vinyl as well. So go and check that out!

This week on The Boys in the Band Podcast we're delighted to be joined by Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace the filmmakers behind the fantastic new 00s indie film Meet Me In The Bathroom.

Based on the renowned, respected book by Lizzy Goodman of the same name, they have pulled together stunning archive footage from the New York scene, giving incredible insights into bands such as The Strokes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Rapture, Interpol, LCD Soundsystem, Moldy Peaches and more.

From energetic, chaotic live shows to capturing those artists at their most vulnerable and natural back stage or on the tour bus, it is a must-watch movie, which you can see in UK cinemas or stream on Amazon Video, Apple TV and Microsoft.

This week on The Boys in the Band Podcast we're delighted to be joined by Reggie Youngblood of Black Kids.

Pete and Rich saw their SECOND ever UK show so we reflect on the big buzz about the band back in late 2007 - and what it was like for the band to come back this year for Partie Traumatic anniversary shows.

We also chat about the 'pure sugar' Black Kids sound on tracks like 'I'm not going to teach your boyfriend how to dance with you' - and other quirky song titles like that one!
