There can't be too many songwriters who've released albums which have been so universally praised by the critics and yet have had to wait 40 years for the equivalent commercial success but then Mick Head has never been one to follow a predictable career path. His previous bands The Pale Fountains and Shack  certainly had a strong "cult" following (admittedly including the likes of Noel Gallagher) but it was only with last year's "Dear Scott" that Michael Head & the Red Elastic Band converted critical to commercial success with such aplomb. At times it's been a rocky road for Mick Head but the future certainly looks bright with the release of  his new album 'Loophole' in May and a long awaited autobiography 'Ciao,Ciao Bambino' out in the summer. Ian Prowse and Mick Ord met up with Mick Head in the Liverpool Podcafe for a long-awaited and much anticipated 'Misadventures in Music'

In our latest Retrosonic Podcast interview special we welcome Tom Powell, the man behind def.fo and contender for one of our albums of the year, "Eternity". You might recognise Tom as the bassist with former Shack and Pale Fountains frontman Mick Head's latest outfit, Michael Head & The Red Elastic Band and here, in a thoroughly entertaining show, Tom discusses the concept behind def.fo and the superb album "Eternity", some of the varied musical influences that helped to shape the sound and the contributors that played their part in creating one of the best albums of 2023, a concise and perfectly plotted debut that effortlessly moves between an eclectic mix of genres, from 60's West Coast Californian harmonies, pastoral Folk Rock with lush orchestral arrangements to 90's Trip-Hop and contemporary Neo-Psychedelia, but despite the varied reference points, it all sounds completely fresh and unique. Tom also covers the amazing reaction to the "Dear Scott" album and the wonderful experience of playing in Japan with Mick and The Red Elastic Band earlier this year. Anyway, please enjoy Tom's company in this latest episode which is also soundtracked with a selection of songs from the "Eternity" album.

For the past month, I have been physically shut down due to Covid reactivating the Epstein-Barr virus in my body.  This has been extremely difficult to deal with and the same time learning how to cope through this season has also been fruitful. Thank you so much for those who have reached out and I decided to put a podcast out there to help people understand what is been going on and hopefully you can encourage those who may be in the same situation at sometime. Support the showConnectTikTokInstagramFacebookYouTubeTwitter

Welcome to Episode 51 of Retrosonic Podcast where we welcome former drummer with The Chords Buddy Ascott into the 'studio' on New Year's Eve to look back on 2022. Buddy, now playing with The Fallen Leaves, is currently writing his memoirs and he treats us to a reading from a chapter about an unfortunate incident in Guildford Civic Hall in 1979 involving The Undertones, Jimmy Pursey and some ex-Sex Pistols. He also talks about more recent gig experiences which include drumming with The 79ers as special guests at The Vapors' weekend event at the iconic Portmeirion village, location of the cult TV show The Prisoner. Then we cover The Fallen Leaves shows at the Dublin Castle and their appearance at the Don Craine tribute at the Half Moon Putney, plus we get a sneak preview of a song from the Leaves' next album. We also take a look at some of Retro Man Blog's favourite LPs, Singles, Compilations and Gigs of the year and play a selection of great tracks from The Clash with Ranking Roger, Rhoda Dakar, The Limiñanas, The Prisoners and Michael Head & The Red Elastic Band.

#180 2023 chegou tal qual anunciou Alceu, que tu virias numa manhã de domingo, peito nu, cabelo ao vento, feito surfista mesmo. Voltamos, Júlio, Bruno e João, prontos para mais 51 semanas de episódios fresquinhos e crocantes toda terça no seu tocador predileto - de graça! Nos despedimos do Rei Pelé, ouvimos o Tito com atenção, fizemos listas de canções sem sentido nenhum, apresentamos Almanaque e Imagem falada, desejamos aquele desajeitado feliz ano novo e voltamos ao batente. Por algum motivo que não sabemos explicar, estamos mais leves, o programa foi divertido e diversificado -ninguém leva (muito) a sério - um Boia como deve ser. As trilhas desfilaram de Jethro Tull até Nélson Angêlo, passando por PIL, Black Pumas, Michael Head, Fountaines DC e Prefab Sprout. Eu já escuto os teus sinais. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/boia/message

Starting 2023 by sharing my story! I have been putting this off for some reason, main reason is I know the enemy doesn't want me to share this.  There may even be others that don't want me to share this, I know that many will think this is not worth it, to keep it in and just go! Truth is that this podcast episode will set others free, purpose of this is to show the healing work of the Lord and therapy in my life. To show others that you can make it, to be available for others if needed. You can and you will overcome!
