episode 156: Kscope Podcast 156 - The Time is Now (with Henrik from Empyre)
THE TIME IS NOW for… The all new BIG SOUND
Empyre and Klone have been scheming and plotting during lockdown (and the worst of the pandemic) and are now fit and ready to go! We hear from Henrik from the former on how they approach gigs both small and large as one has to at this point, i.e. festival crowds and support slots in big rooms, and. conversely. entertaining the packed sweaty club gigs.
We sent Kscope’s roving reporter Tris to catch up with Klone backstage (at the De La Warr Pavilion, one of the most quintessentially English venues), for some important advice on the advantages of the singer doubling up as the merch guy.
PLUS music from the progenitors of THE BIG SOUND ™ - Anathema
AND ALSO Steven Wilson & Aviv Geffen, collectively Blackfield from the astounding new 7-disc one-off book set… which is BIG.
