Podcast appearances and mentions of mike vennart

This month we catch up with Mike Vennart of Oceansize, a timely chat ahead of our reissue of the momentous and cinematic “Frames”, but not just a standard reissue, we have of course given it the Kscope treatment, it is presented on gatefold 3LP and includes extra tracks and rarities plus unseen photos. Nowadays Mike enjoys success with his latest project Empire State Bastard as well as touring with Biffy Clyro, But host Billy Reeves asks him to go back in time and reflect about his time with the hugely influential Oceansize and even wonders what it would take to get them back on the road. PLUS the latest single from O.R.k and a reminder that The Pineapple Thief are hard touring in the USA so we thought their topically named single Election Day deserved a spin!

Mike @vennart is known to be brutally honest about pretty much everything. He did not disappoint in our chat with him. We cover early musical influences, feeling like an outsider, the unconcious evolution of Oceansize, and all that has come after. Thanks so much Mikey!

In this episode, we unearth the ridiculous, hilarious and heart-warming tale of Charlie Barnes turning from "fan to man”... told via approximately 568 swear words and his heroes, Mike Vennart and Steve Durose of Oceansize. Due to Charlie's relentless dedication to the band, a whole host of unbelievable occurrences have taken place over the past 17 years; from playing onstage with a member, being signed to the same label, even having one of the band produce his album, and finally reaching career equilibrium as touring musicians respectively for chart-toppers Bastille and Biffy Clyro. As well as a hell of a lot of ‘pinch me' moments, we explore the profound effect fan and band have on each other, still to this day. Turns out sending that letter to your idol could actually change their perspective on a song, and getting that tattoo of their lyrics might just end up making their day 15 years later, while they watch you on-stage at Glastonbury... Wild!

Here's a little extra slice of the Mike Vennart Podcast.

This week we have a Mike Vennart from Manchester progstars 'Oceansize' on the show. We talk Biffy Clyro, Glastonbury, Pledge Music and more....
