Bobby Gillespie: “I’m trying to work out what you do with a band that’s been going as long as we have”
Primal Scream’s twelfth album Come Ahead marks a distinctive break with recent records. In this extended version of the interview in this month’s Uncut, Bobby Gillespie talks us through the radical changes in the Scream’s music-making from the ‘80s through Screamadelica to the present, social justice, his deep bonds with Andrew Innes and his late dad, and writing age-appropriate songs as a sixty-something rocker. UNCUT: It seems like the lyrics on Come Ahead follow on from some of the breakthroughs you made on Utopian Ashes, the album you made with Jehnny Beth. BOBBY GILLESPIE: Definitely. I wrote the lyrics...
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, O2 Arena, London, November 9, 2024
“Fucking London!” bellows Nick Cave with affectionate gusto, surveying the vast crowd who have come to pay homage in the city where he first made his name. “It seems like we’ve been on tour forever, but now we’re here.” Cave is a pretty good showman these days, so it’s possible he says this kind of thing wherever he plays. But there must be a part of him that thinks back to those famously confrontational Birthday Party shows at West Hampstead’s Moonlight Club almost 45 years ago and wonders exactly how he ended up headlining two nights at the O2....

“Why So Busy?” Shweta Harve’s Powerful Anthem for Finding Stillness
In an age where “busy” feels like a badge of honor, Shweta Harve ‘s new single “Why So Busy?” feels like a breath of fresh air. The song asks a question many of us wrestle with: Is this relentless rush through life really worth it?

Aphrodite’s Child 666 The Apocalypse Of St John: 50th Anniversary Boxset
If The Rolling Stones’ notorious free concert at Altamont in December 1969 signalled the end of the ’60s’ hippie ideal, then Aphrodite’s Child’s 666 is the sacrificial ceremony where the hopes and dreams of that decade are finally turned to dust in a beautiful, cacophonous, ridiculous melange of progressive rock, psychedelic folk, Greek myth, Christian scripture, Monty Python surrealism and countercultural conspiracy. The victims at this ceremony? Aphrodite’s Child themselves, whose four members went their separate ways long before this controversial 83-minute double-album based on the Book of Revelations was released in June 1972, two years after the band...Recent Posts
