DBL#7 JOE THOMPSON Joe is best known as the bass player in Hey Colossus a 6 piece band formed in the London area in 2003. They are quite prolific at this point having released a number of albums and splits on a variety of different labels. Their sound incorporates many heavy elements drawing from noise rock, post punk, krautrock & psychedelic music. The track at the end of the interview is a 16 minute long piece which demonstrates this kind of diversity. It is also from their new album 'Dances/Curses' which was released on Wrong Speed Records Joe's new label which he set up last year. He also wrote a book published by Pomona in 2019 detailing his life and experiences of being in a smaller independent rock band.Hey Colossus are a group I don't know that much about so it was good to hear the details about their background and how they work. Also Joe's perspective in particular on the points previously mentioned.Conversation recorded in December of 2020.Please subscribe and share this to anyone who may be interested.Follow here on Instagram: @destroybeforelistening

Joe Thompson joins us for episode #17 for a fascinating conversation which centres around the underground/DIY music scene. Joe has played with his current band, Hey Colossus, since the early 2000s, during which time he has striven to support not only his own music but that of so many others. His commitment to this culture is rooted in community and creativity and the stories he has shared with us are inspirational. As you'll hear, we reference Joe's fantastic book, which is part of the Sleevenotes series published by Pomona. It comes highly recommended! Our thanks to Joe for coming on the show and to the team at Pomona for their support in setting it up. Check out the links below to get a copy of Joe's book and to hear and buy some incredible music. Love and thanks, as ever Steve and Ben x https://wrongspeedrecords.bandcamp.com/artists https://www.pomonauk.com/

Pinch punch - the first of the month... Last Friday was the start of September, and John and Luke were joined in tQHQ by Barry The Barber and Todd The Dog. Abandoning their usual tack of bringing you the best in new music, they picked a selection of ABCs (anthems, bangers, classics) which remind them of the history of the site. During the show John also had his haircut (but thankfully not like Phil Oakey) by Barry The Barber and the music came from Hey Colossus, Blacknecks, Erasure, LCD Soundsystem, The Ex, Gazelle Twin, Destroyer, NOMEANSNO, Kelala, Turbonegro, The Chromatics, Double S & Wiley, some madness to do with rollercoasters that Seb chose, Ibibio Sound Machine, Gravenhurst and of course The Fall. This show was just one of many on (what will hopefully be) the inaugural Quietus Day Of Radio. Thanks to everyone who was part of this 12 hour epic - especially Seb and Iain... we spent the whole period celebrating the best in underground, DIY and global music. We were also joined by Saul of Fat White Family, Nadine Shah, Steve Davis and Kavus Torabi and the Last Skeptic, it's no surprise we ended up trending on Twitter. And that's before we get to the mind expanding exploration of Japanese psych and foghorns by Jennifer Lucy-Allan; a trip round the extreme metal fringes of India with Pavan & Pravin Mukhi (aka Foreign Beggars); Ruth Barnes (The Other Woman) and Piney Gir playing indie, folk and exotica; the heroic and inimitable Lone Taxidermist, not to mention appearances from all the Quietus staffers. So even though it was the site's ninth birthday on Friday you might be forgiven for wondering why our celebratory mood has been tempered with anxiety - like Edvard Munch's The Scream in a party hat. This is because we're currently unlikely to make our tenth birthday - or even the end of the year - without some financial assistance from you, dear reader - and apologies if you've already read this once this week but it really bears repeating - we're facing closure. I have to say that I think it's absolutely crazy given we are Europe's biggest, fully independent music and culture website, reaching an annual audience of millions all over the globe, with a constant supply of high quality articles and content by some of the best writers in the game, and yet again this month we'll be having a whip round, reaching down the back of the sofa, taking the hammer to the piggy bank, emptying the penny jar and selling the prized vinyl on Discogs, just so we can make the rent. Because online magazines tend to be overly reliant on banner advertising (something we're working on a solution to behind the scenes) and we're not venture capital/ rich parent/ tax loss funded, we are being absolutely hammered by the recent catastrophic 90% drop off in online ad spend - not to mention the all-too-predictable chicanery by monolithic money hoovering digital monopolies such as Google and Facebook, which has amounted to an arsenic cherry on the cyanide birthday cake this year. If it helps you to visualise the problem, imagine an egg that a seven year old has painted the face of Jarvis Cocker onto. Now that you have conjured this image into being, picture a cyberman on shore leave pissed up at last orders. Now picture the cyberman - with a semi on and a heart full of hatred - punching the Jarvis egg with all of his terrible might. Do you see the problem? Now, undoubtedly, there will be some among you who cry: "Why should we care? What good are music magazines in this day and age when everything's already online?" This is a completely fair point, to which I have a simple response: "Have you found any music via the Quietus over the last 12 months?" And if the answer is yes, just give us a fiver if you can afford it (please don't give us money if you're from a low income family, still at school, a struggling student, on benefits, or an elderly person burning books to stay warm - all we ask from you is that you just keep on reading the ...

Qu'ont en commun Led Zeppelin et Jim Jarmusch ? Patti Smith et Tool ? Earth et Smashing Pumpkins ? Pas grand-chose à première vue, sinon une certaine maîtrise de la corde electrisée, et une prétention, récurrente ou furtive dans leur discographie, à vouloir emmener l'auditeur vers une certaine idée de la spiritualité, de l'au-delà, de la mort, du psychédélique, enfin toutes ces conneries nébuleuses souvent agrémentées de fumées lourdes, voire de rouflaquettes fournies, dans l'imaginaire collectif et opiacé. Mais ô voyageur spirituel d'un soir, oublie ton patchouli et tes posters de Jimmy Hendrix, car ce trip n'est pas de tout repos, et ton esprit viendra se perdre entre les voix mystiques d'OM et les complaintes sombres et vaudoues des Hey Colossus, entre les cordes païennes de Led Zep et les incantations tribales des Swans, et viendra s'écraser sur le pavé de Tanger pour une lente tribulation nocturne ou une dernière expiration hallucinée, à moins qu'il ne s'enlise en cours de route dans un bayou, une forêt nordique, ou sur une plage tahitienne... bon (dernier) voyage.

Raw Power Festival is between 22-24 May at The Dome in London. Anthony organises it so this week he and Gareth are playing some of the artists they are looking forward to seeing. It's very heavy, mixed with the usual weird and wonderful sounds familiar to the Independent Music Podcast. There are a couple of previous podcast favourites making a return, including Gnod, The Wharves and Fumaca Preta, alongside new bands Sex Swing and Satteliti and more established artists including Hey Colossus and Esben & the
