Tex Kennedy - One of the fine City's favourite sons
This week - I got to sit down for a pint with Matt “tex” Kennedy, 1/5th of the well oiled machine that is floral image, known city wide as the K. O. B (king of bass) for his fast attack ,unfathomable rhythm and onstage antics. Quoted by Spide Writer “Kennedy is the Iggy Pop of bass guitar”.In amongst all the chaos of touring and living a life as normal as a free wheeling freak can, He focuses a lot of time on his own project Black Magick Caravan. A project birthed from the grief of losing grandparents and finding a way to channel grief into songs and musical freakouts.Black Magick caravan is a mystical whimsy psych folk project toying with the feelings of paranoia, anxiety and finding the light at the end of the tunnel with themes of the occult, tarot, dreams. Flourish, the first song from black Magick caravans album titled “upon the dying flowers” is set to be released this autumn into winter.

Takeda - The ones to watch
On the Huh caught up with front man Josh Harrison backstage at the Waterfront after their soundcheck and ahead of a home town album launch show to celebrate the release of their new album In Venus train.Thematically In Venus Train channels mystical figures from folk-lore and biblical metaphors, writing songs about obsession, love and grieving a past life. The album is a musically rich, at times intricate and thoughtful, at others explosive and intense journey through the bands blend of melancholic, organic folk and sprawling, fuzzy alternative -rock. Drawing influence in equal measure from British Folk revivalists Fairport convention and alt-metal icons Tool, the album fuses melodic and emotional sensibility of folk with the noise and fuzzed guitar tones of grunge, ultimately making music that sounds something like if Nick drake joined Pile.Pop over to the website (www.onthehuh.org) it has lots of links to other bands stuff and venues as well as a link to an ever evolving Spotify playlist of Norwich bands material compiled by pod producer Reuben Andrews called La musique de Norwich.chin chin

KiraKira - Here, there and everywhere...
This week I'm joined for a chat by the brilliant KiraKira. In her own words Kira is a Multi-instrumental singer songwriter grown in Norwich. In the space between bedroom pop heart-ache and white-rabbit indie dreams, she finds beauty in the drone of the mundane and floats in the idyll of ambience.Taking a heart-bearing lyrical approach to music in the way that you may see in the realms of Samia, Phoebe Bridges or Beabadoobee and watering her recordings with reverb and soft pads, KiraKira nurtures guitar music that feels as though plants could grow to it. As she leaves adolescence, soft-grunge sensibilities become more present drifting in an ocean of distortion and new found reflectivity.We'll be back soon with a few more episodes in the pipeline - but in the meantime..

OTHP Short - all the way from LA ...it's Redd Kross
Hello again - it's been a while .... to launch series 3 of On the Huh Podcast - I somehow wangled 15 mins with the inimitable Jeff McDonald of the Rock gods Redd Kross... hailing from Hawthorne Los Angeles - a 40+ year career co-fronting the band with his brother Steve has led to a lifetime of music. I had a catch up with Jeff at their Norwich Waterfront show recently where they were playing alongside The Melvins ... we talked about life on the road, getting established ( David Bowie was in the audience at their first proper show) we got into their writing process, and we talked about their "warts and all Documentary" which came out last year called "Born innocent - The Redd Kross Story". From LA (where Jeff was pals with Quentin Tarantino and where he dated Sofia Coppola ) to little old Norwich ..it's all here ...... enjoy Pop over to the website (www.onthehuh.org) it has lots of links to other bands stuff and venues as well as a link to an ever evolving Spotify playlist of Norwich bands material compiled by pod producer Reuben Andrews called La musique de Norwich.chin chin
