On the Huh

This weeks episode features a chat with 3 members of Bayou - recorded at The Holloway just before their soundcheck ahead of a Sold Out home town headline show. 
We talked about their backstory, what they have been up to, their love of playing live and how being friends larking about in the band is what matters most to them. 
A fantastic live band who play with vigour and their heart on their sleeve - with their catchy tunes and enigmatic stage presence you need to get on board quick smart if you aren't already as you are missing out. 
I hope you like it

To kick off season 5 - I got to spend some time with Robin and Dan from spangly, jingly indie popsters The Danphes.  The band are from Norwich and draw inspiration from the C86 era of mixtapes and hazy summers. They write shimmering hook-soaked songs that balance the bright, chiming guitars with a slightly lovelorn, scuffed around the edges charm. 
Rooted in the local scene and shaped by years of friendship, The Danphes make indie pop that feels immediate, heartfelt and quietly nostalgic - the kind of songs that sound like they have always existed. 
We talked about the forming of the band, the approach to their songwriting and playing live as well as where the name came from and we discover Dan's hidden talent (n.b. I checked after the recording and he was spot on. ) 
So enjoy the chat and we'll be back soon with more
