Rust For Glory

Crowded Scouse

Hey now, hey now…it’s a Crowded House tribute band from Liverpool, no, not Chocka Gaff, this week we’re joined by Mark from Crowded Scouse.  Mark tells us about the band’s brief foray into matching suits, a strict no wig position, and the endlessly rotating setlist and the wealth of material from Split Endz to Finn Brothers. We talk about the importance of sandwiches, staircases in Rhyl and audience members playing the bones. Plus Mark reveals why Rosie and Jim won’t ever be joining the band onstage again. Quack.  Will reveals he has never played the didgeridoo.

Plug In Maybe

Black holes and revelations galore this week as Alex from the superbly named Plug in Maybe joins us to discuss all things Muse. Nath and Alex get into the weeds discussing guitar building and the endless need to buy more stuff.  We discuss the pros and cons of the band being split between Pembrokeshire and West Yorkshire, crowd assisted vocal support and hours of time spent programming lights. Will reveals he has never been a muse.

Tribfest

It’s a perfect ten this week as Nathan and Will are joined by Ed Faulkner, the founder and organiser of Tribfest, one of the UK’s leading tribute festivals. Ed also masquerades as Paul Heaton in The Beautiful Couch, a tribute to The Beautiful South and The Housemartins. We discuss the challenges of starting up a tribute festival, the balancing act of booking bands and the importance of offering something more than just tribute acts.  Ed talks about booking the Brazilian Beatles, the excessive rider demands of a Michael Jackson, and how ditching the dance tent turned out to be a great decision.  Will reveals he would pay five pounds for a shower.

Rust For Glory

On The Beach? Why not join Nathan and Will as they talk all things ol' Shakey with Alex from Nottingham-based Neil Young tribute, Rust For Glory. Alex offers advice on how to find a drummer, and how the idea of getting paid to play music and receiving positive feedback was the catalyst for starting a tribute band.   15 years in we talk about Rust For Glory’s busiest year yet, and the good fortune of having an endless volume of material to work with. YouTube channels taking on a life of their own and how just ‘having a go’ attitude at songs can help achieve surprisingly good results.  Will reveals he is not the cinnamon girl.

Oasiz

Podcast vibes in the area! Oasiz vibes in the area! This week, we’re joined by Steve and Gaz from the biblical Oasis tribute band Oasiz, who have been paying homage to Burnage’s finest for a madferrit 21 years.  Steve tells us how Oasis saved him from a world of Whigfield (the only mention of wigs this week). Gaz the Andy Bell / Guigsy of the band and social media guru discusses Southend's play off hopes and a strange request to be Liam and Noel bellboys for the day. Currently in the midst of a 120-date UK tour, we talk about setlist dilemmas, Sifters photoshoots, duets with Aitch and how Noel’s songs are the ideal length for a tea break. Steve saves his Manc accent for a better podcast.  Will reveals that he has never drank an Oasis.
