I met David Byrne in 1977 on the Ramones/Talking Heads tour of Europe that kicked off in Zurich, Switzerland. I moved to NYC in 1978 to work with the band during the time they were making Fear of Music, one of my favorite albums. Brilliant record, check it!
So, break out the shortbread, get yourself a cup of tea, and sit back and enjoy my conversation with David Byrne on Soundman Confidential.

Soundman Confidential - Andrew Fearn - Sleaford Mods

Andrew Fearn - Sleaford Mods

Soundman Confidential

play

05/16/21 • 43 min

Andrew Fearn is one half of Sleaford Mods (with Jason Williamson), and the man behind the band's beats and compositions. No other band in recent years have stirred such intensity as Sleaford Mods. When I hear them, I'm taken back to the time when punk exploded in the seventies. The DIY vibe and their energy amazes. Check them out. And listen to Andrew's work here.
