Podcasts about Simple Minds

In this episode of the XS Noize Podcast, Mark Millar is joined by Gavin Rossdale — the iconic frontman of Bush — to discuss their powerful new album, I Beat Loneliness. Since bursting onto the scene in the early '90s with Sixteen Stone, Bush have become one of the most defining bands of the post-grunge era, selling over 20 million records worldwide and headlining stages across the globe. Now, on their 10th studio album, Gavin Rossdale and the band deliver some of their most urgent and personal work to date. I Beat Loneliness is a raw, defiant record that dives deep into themes of isolation, emotional endurance, and ultimately finding strength in vulnerability. From the fierce opener “Scars” to the anthemic title track and the poetic, socially charged “The Land of Milk and Honey,” the album showcases Bush's classic intensity while embracing new sonic textures and deeply personal storytelling. In this wide-ranging conversation, Gavin opens up about the emotional battles behind the songs, the cathartic power of turning pain into beauty, and the creative fire that keeps Bush evolving after nearly three decades. He also reflects on pivotal moments in his career and the excitement of embarking on a massive world tour with the new record. Tune in to Episode #236 of the XS Noize Podcast for an in-depth look at Bush's latest chapter — a story of resilience, reinvention, and the unwavering drive to connect through music.  Or listen via YouTube | Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Amazon Music | RSS – Find The XS Noize Podcast's complete archive of episodes here.

July 13 is the 40th Anniversary of LIVE AID, one of the greatest rock festivals of all time! We each share our memories of watching it live on the day, the excitement that surrounded the event, and some of the stories behind bands that didn't appear for various reasons. Each of us has picked our five favorite performances / bands / moments to talk about at length, and we mention some of the lowlights as well (and yes, there were a few). Some of the acts that get a mention are Duran Duran, Black Sabbath, Madonna, Run DMC, Elton John, the Who, Simple Minds, Judas Priest, Tom Petty, the Pretenders, and many others. And of course, it's virtually impossible to have any discussion about Live Aid without mentioning Queen, Bowie, and U2. Hope you'll join us for a fun discussion!

In this episode of the XS Noize Podcast, Mark Millar is joined by Scottish singer-songwriter Amy Macdonald to discuss her powerful new album, Is This What You've Been Waiting For? With over 12 million records sold worldwide and countless arena shows under her belt, Amy has become one of Scotland's most beloved artists. On her sixth album, she explores bold new sonic territory while staying true to her signature emotional honesty. Is This What You've Been Waiting For? is a defiant, uplifting record that tackles themes of survival, toxic friendships, and the courage to move forward. From the anthemic title track inspired by a moment of awe in Las Vegas, to the Springsteen-flavoured optimism of “Forward” and the fresh, danceable energy of “Can You Hear Me?”, the album reveals Amy at her most fearless and authentic yet. In this wide-ranging conversation, Amy opens up about her songwriting evolution since This Is The Life, staying connected to her fans across generations, and the excitement of returning to the stage for two massive hometown shows in Glasgow. Tune in to Episode #235 of the XS Noize Podcast for a deep dive into Amy Macdonald's new era — a story of growth, resilience, and unapologetic self-expression.  Or listen via YouTube | Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Amazon Music | RSS – Find The XS Noize Podcast's complete archive of episodes here.

From 1974 to 2003 Carlos Alomar was the longest serving band member during David Bowie's historic career.

Carlos has played on more than 30 different gold or platinum albums with an enormous resume that includes names like James Brown, Chuck Berry, Bruce Springsteen, Duran Duran, Alicia Keyes, Iggy Pop, Luther Vandross, The Pretenders, Simple Minds (featuring his wife Robin Clark), Ben E. King, The Main Ingredient, and the late Tina Turner as well. This is one of the most astonishingly brilliant guests EVER! One of my favorite episodes! Absolutely amazing!

In this episode of the XS Noize Podcast, Mark Millar is joined by Cam Muncey — guitarist, co-founder, and key songwriter of Australian rock legends Jet — to discuss his bold and unexpected debut solo album, Cam Muncey & the Delusions of Grandeur. Recorded in just 30 days with producer Jan Skubiszewski, Jet bassist Mark Wilson, and drummer Peter Marin, Delusions of Grandeur is an expansive, deeply personal record. Moving through dreamy shoegaze, melodic guitar-pop, 80s indie, swaying soul, and atmospheric art-rock, it draws on influences from The Smiths, Talk Talk, Curtis Mayfield, R.E.M., Mazzy Star, The War On Drugs, and Roxy Music. Guided by Muncey's warm vocals, the album invites listeners on a rich, genre-spanning journey. Highlights include “Already Gone,” “Don't Fade On Me,” “No Rock'n'Roll Star,” “I've Been Low,” “Breathing Again,” and the breezy pop of “Friendly.” In this candid conversation, Muncey shares what inspired him to step out on his own, the freedom he found creating without limits, and the lessons learned from touring with icons like Bruce Springsteen. Tune in to Episode #234 of the XS Noize Podcast for an honest, immersive look into Cam Muncey's world — a story of risk, reinvention, and musical discovery.  Or listen via YouTube | Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Amazon Music | RSS – Find The XS Noize Podcast's complete archive of episodes here.

Ecco la potenza dell'amore, in grado di scardinare perfino l'anima dell'essere più impassibile. Dentro ogni amore si nasconde un astuto veleno, e nemmeno il corpo e il sangue del diavolo sono immuni.

The summer season got off to a later than usual start this year, but things are up to speed with three consecutive nights of shows ahead — a Friday night visit by the Outlaw Music Festival's 10th Anniversary Tour, headlined by Willie Nelson and Bob Dylan, a Saturday date with Simple Minds and a Sunday finish with country start Keith Urban.

For our latest episode of Live Music & Me, our guest was the Scottish singer/songwriter & musician Dean Owens. Deans live music journey has been ‘ eclectic' to say the least, and his gig list includes a first gig seeing a famous TV presenter and a second gig seeing an equally famous children's TV group. We also managed to discuss margarine, and one of Dean's band members getting police protection in the local hospital. No, really…In between all that, we did manage to chat about some cracking gigs, including Simple Minds, The Waterboys & the SBSW Festival. AND,Dean gave us 2 great live album recommendations, one of which was new to us (and it's a belter). It was an hour in Dean's company that flew by. Big thanks to Dean, and we are sure you will get lots of enjoyment from this one. Until next time, enjoy, and stay safe. PS If anyone knows a Julie Pentland from Edinburgh, can you let her know that Dean says hello :-)

In this episode of the XS Noize Podcast, host Mark Millar is joined by John Power, frontman of Cast, as the legendary Britpop band celebrates a major milestone — 30 years since the release of their iconic debut album All Change. Cast are in the strongest position they've been in for decades. Their 2023 album Love Is The Call received widespread critical acclaim and earned their highest chart position in 25 years. Now, they're preparing to support Oasis on the UK and Ireland leg of their hugely anticipated stadium reunion tour — a landmark moment for the Liverpool band. Once those stadium shows wrap, Cast will return to their roots with the 30 Years of All Change tour, performing their beloved 1995 debut album in full. Featuring timeless tracks like ‘Alright', ‘Finetime', ‘Sandstorm' and ‘Walkaway', All Change remains one of the defining records of the Britpop era. It debuted at #7, went Platinum, and spent nearly a year in the UK Top 40. In this conversation, John reflects on his transition from The La's to forming Cast, the emotional and musical impact of All Change, and what it means to still be performing with original members Liam ‘Skin' Tyson and Keith O'Neill three decades on. He also reveals exciting news about a brand new Cast single arriving soon, and shares early details of their next studio album, set for release in 2026.

Peter Capaldi – aka Malcolm Tucker, Dr Who, the universal screen delight and an Oscar-winning film director – was the singer in the punk band the Dreamboys in the late ‘70s who put out a single when he was at the art school in Glasgow. And then became an actor. And then - in the grand tradition of actors who've made albums, Hugh Laurie, Scarlett Johansson, Jeff Bridges and Keanu Reeves among them – released St Christopher in 2021. He's just recorded a second, Sweet Illusions, and talks to us in this extremely funny and entertaining pod about … … how his sole motivation was “a burning desire to be on the telly”. … the difference between fronting bands and being in plays. … how he grievously stitched up support band the Cocteau Twins at a gig in Grangemouth. … a teenage love of Slade - “a bit terrifying but still a bit safe”. … first-hand evidence of the connection between Blakey from On the Buses, Adolph Hitler and Beatles. … “you have to write a hundred songs before you can write a good one”. … arriving at art school in '76 a Neil Young fan and his overnight transformation – “peroxide hair, PVC trousers and bright red crepe sole shoes”. … seeing Simple Minds at the Mars Bar in Glasgow, Jim Kerr with his Shakespearian haircut, “strange, powerful, imaginative, post-glam”. … forming the Dreamboys and “trying to be big, clever and Kafka-esque”. … the stigma of being virtually the only band in Glasgow not to get a John Peel session. … writing the “bizarro pulp” lyrics for the Dreamboys – “we couldn't decide if we were the Cramps or Talking Heads”. … what's required, “apart from a terrible Scouse accent”, in playing John Lennon onstage and George Harrison onscreen. … auditioning (comedian, actor, TV host) Craig Ferguson as the band's drummer.   … how Bill Forsyth launched his acting career: “one minute you're supporting Altered Images, the next in a movie with Burt Lancaster”. … forming a duo with Keanu Reeves when filming Dangerous Liaisons in Paris – powdered wigs in the daytime, guitar/bass punk-thrash at night. .. the romantic Edward Hopper charm of Glasgow in the ‘70s - proto-goths, street lights, rain. … how Dr Robert of the Blow Monkeys and four months filming The Suicide Squad in Atlanta spurred him into writing songs.   … the greatest record of all time. Order the Sweet Illusions album here:https://shop.lastnightfromglasgow.com/products/peter-capaldi-sweet-illusions-vinyl-lp-cd-lossless-dlHelp us to keep the conversation going by joining our global Patreon community: https://www.patreon.com/wordinyourear Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Late April and May is a special time in Australia, the UK and the USA where we commemorate our returned soldiers and remember those who fought so bravely to provide the freedom we deeply appreciate and enjoy today. Lest we forget. Inspiring us with loyalty, mateship and bravery, a little band of brothers from the Northern Beaches of Sydney channeled the courage of our war heroes to traverse the globe with no guarantees, promises or favours to become the biggest band on the planet between 1988-1990 with style, sacrifice and substance. In no way are we comparing the ultimate sacrifice of our war heroes to INXS however the DNA of true Aussie mateship, loyalty, commitment perseverance were traits INXS drew upon when many other bands before them disappeared after so much promise. So Bee and I count down individually our “Top 7 moments” when INXS bravely fought against the odds, self-doubt and industry challenges to usurp their contemporaries such as Dire Straits, U2, The Police, Simple Minds and Duran Duran to become the biggest band in the world. Typically our lists vary but the sentiment and unabashed pride in INXS' achievements evoke similarly. So sit back and take a moment to enjoy the characteristics and attributes that created INXS' success not just the outcomes. Love and peace https://www.inxsaccessallareas.com/ https://www.inductinxs.com/signthepetition
