In Conversation with Drew McDowall (part 1)
07/12/23 • 53 min
UK industrial history class is in session. Drew McDowall sat down with us for a long candid discussion covering his entire history. For this first of two episodes, Drew tells us about his beginnings in the 70s to falling in with Psychic TV and eventually Coil. It’s an incredible first hand account of the early industrial days. In part 2, we get into Drew joining Coil and go all the way thru to his current solo output.
For the ExtraNoisextra, we have 2 segments on the patreon. Drew talks about a lost album of the Poems, his first band with Rose. In addition, he discusses how warm Sleazy and Balance were and the many never-realized projects they had in the early days. These segments are within the episode on the patreon feed.
