EP. 78: Gethin Davies on Corona Capital, Luke's Solo Tour, and the Seattle Return
Welcome back to The Struts Life!
This week, we are saying "Hola!" as Gethin returns from a whirlwind weekend at the Corona Capital Festival in Mexico City. It’s been nine years since The Struts played there, and the trip was nothing short of chaotic.
Join Gethin and Leah as they dive into the reality of festival logistics, from navigating local protests and 5 AM call times to the panic of a mid-soundcheck power outage. Gethin shares the story of a hilariously loud lunch at a local restaurant, the "champagne problems" of travel, and the challenge of performing on a battered rental drum kit that sounded more like kitchenware than an instrument.
Find out how the band handled a frantic schedule with a skeleton crew, why a Radio Disney interview left Gethin confused, and get the secret ingredient to his infamous "Crack and Cheese" Thanksgiving recipe as he heads to New Orleans. Plus, get a quick update on Luke Spiller’s solo tour and the details on the band's upcoming makeup show in Seattle. You won't want to miss this one!

Welcome back to The Struts Life!
It feels like it's been ages, but I finally got the chance to sit down and catch up with the one and only Adam Slack after a truly wild couple of months.

Plus, we get a much-anticipated and exclusive update on the writing process for Album 5—you'll want to hear why he feels this is the most inspired and creative the band has ever been. As the musical landscape shifts back towards guitar rock, are the stars finally aligning for The Struts?
We dive deep into that and get the scoop on the upcoming special shows, from an intimate night at the Grammy Museum to the legendary annual Christmas bash at the Harry Dog.
