Big Smoke Music Weekly - S3E4 - Sports Team & The Orielles // BBC 6 Music Festival
Season 3, Episode 4, Mar 11, 2020, 05:27 PM
In the biggest Big Smoke Music Weekly episode to date, we bring you 2 interviews from some of the UK’s best Indie acts, recorded across a jam-packed weekend at BBC 6 Music Festival!
First on the bill is our exclusive sit down with Sports Team.
3 of the 6-strong gang join us - Rob Knaggs, Al Greenwood and Alex Rice - to chat ahead of their eagerly anticipated debut album, ‘Deep Down Happy’.
The band tell-all on their lighthearted take on life and how that bleeds into their quick witted writing and onstage flair. We ask them about mixing things up with fans through mad last-minute guerrilla gigs, and how their tunes come from a place of fun-loving madness.
The Orielles speak with us a couple of weeks after the release of their second album, ‘Disco Volador’.
An album dripping in disco, funk and cosmic pop tastiness, Sidonie and and Esme from the band run us through the influences behind the release and the stress that comes in putting a second album together.
We find out about the mad anticipation a band can feel ahead of playing new material out on the road.
We have these two interviews, plus gig reviews from across the festival, including The Big Moon’s magical set at the Roundhouse’s Sackler Space, and Sunday’s bash down at Camden’s Electric Ballroom which saw blistering sets from Warmduscher, Squid and Bombay Bicycle Club!
And... as coronavirus spreads, we look at how it is starting to hit the music world. Lauran Hibberd talks us through the impact of SXSW being cancelled and what that means for up and coming bands.
