S4 EP2: Girls Aloud with Catherine Bohart and Helen Bauer (AKA The Trusty Hogs) 1:37:09

5d ago1:37:09

1:37:09

Oh hogs you're damn right, you can't read a pig's mind, we're living in two tribes and heading for war! The four porkiest poptimists in podcast put aside their whole lotta history to pay tribute after tribute, arguably one too many, to June's gig at the Something Kinda Ooooh2. Nobody sees the show, not all of it anyway, but it's an electric night a…

S4 EP1: Chappell Roan with Mhairi Beveridge 1:35:14

12d ago1:35:14

1:35:14

Gig Pigs for the girls! Series 4 lurches us closer to husband and wifecast as the newly Kealyed Mhairi Beveridge returns, for a BBC bitesize level discussion of the H.O.T.T.est new pop star in the world, and some uncomfortable existential inquiries for King Gigzard, the Pigzard Wizard and their new GP tees. They didn’t get TO GO! to the gig but you…

S3 EP11: Glastonbury Debrief 33:18

4M ago33:18

33:18

Where are your friends tonight? Once more, one little piggy stayed at home while the other plumped to go johnny go go go to Glastonbury without him. Here's the single-cam report from the farm, then: getting up front for Janelle, giving himself to every breath at Fontaines, and getting into a right tizz about who punched Biff. For extra bonus Gig Pi…

S3 EP10: Pip Blom with Celeste Dring 1:22:23

5M ago1:22:23

1:22:23

We wanna gig you in our pigs, in our pigs, is this love? Another trip to Heaven (not Alex’s first) for the podcast, this time to watch “your new favourite festival band”, Dutch upstarts Pim Blom, with writer, actor, dancer and Thong Song enthusiast Celeste Dring. We discuss the band’s place in the Dutch music firmament, the logistics of a family-fr…

S3 EP9: Wide Awake 50:19

5M ago50:19

50:19

A betrayal filled pod about a very happy few hours snoozing, (la) luzing, diving, dashing, fathering and falling in Brockwell Park. Into the blue again, into the silent water, we saw what we saw! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoicesPar Keep It Light Media

S3 EP8: Battle Royale 1:14:12

6M ago1:14:12

1:14:12

Do you like funny jokes? Do you like famous bands? Well, you have no idea what you’re getting yourself into here, as Alex and Ivo (electro) swing from the Ally Pally to the Staggy Claggy via a Staggeringly Specific Shakedown of Alex’s DJ choices in Machynlleth. Uphold awhile the unyoked humour of our idleness! And see you on June 8th! For extra bon…

S3 EP7: Los Campesinos with Christopher Macarthur-Boyd 1:50:48

6M ago1:50:48

1:50:48

Los Campesinos!? As in, death to Los Campesinos!? The gigd*icks and the dipsh*t lay down their weapons to discuss pinching lyrics, kissing Tories and living off 2008, via a triumphant gig at the Troxy and the announcement of a new album! All’s hell that ends well! For extra bonus Gig Pigs episodes and exclusive content every month head over to www.…

S3 EP6: Sea Power with Felix White 1:18:15

6M ago1:18:15

1:18:15

He’s an astronomical, fan of bowling balls, so welcome in Felix White, the shirt-shredding, pepper-grinding, review-devouring guitarist of first the Maccabees and now 86TVs, who pigs as hard as he gigs and has plenty kind words to say about liking the rock music of Sea Power, Cumbria’s finest via Tunbridge Wells, the Islington Assembly Hall and the…

S3 EP5: Everything Everything with Lolly Adefope 1:14:45

7M ago1:14:45

1:14:45

We're the wrong kind of people, why'd you listen to us? Because we've achieved our Desire! Desire! and (so nearly) watched Everything Everything, the most interesting and consistent band of their generation, alongside their biggest fan, and Alex's birthday twin, Lolly Adefope (Saltburn, Ghosts, @elevenish). A joyous hour of pig climbs, pig falls, a…

S3 EP4: Pixies with John Robins 1:29:15

7M ago1:29:15

1:29:15

Is he free, can he gig, is he promised to the pig? An apologetic pleasure to speak easy with Johnny JR about the Planet of Sound (if not Vision) that was Pixies at the Forum: bearded villains, corporate restructuring and where his mind's at re: gig etiquette and encore requirements. Our heads were feeling scared but our hearts were feeling free! Fo…

S3 EP3: Future Islands with Eleanor Tiernan 1:32:20

7M ago1:32:20

1:32:20

Seasons change, and we’ve grown tired trying to change for you (we haven’t). Alex and Ivo are joined by Eleanor Tiernan to discuss hot chocolate, fanboying the Waterboys, and Baltimore’s finest, Future Islands, who made some old pigs very happy at the Kingston Pryzm in January! For extra bonus Gig Pigs episodes and exclusive content every month hea…

S3 EP2: BC Camplight with Frankie Thompson and Liv Ello 1:51:39

7M ago1:51:39

1:51:39

Connect me to the manager please, we’re on 302! From Bake Off to bag drop, a vast rotation of mirth with critically acclaimed apocalypse dreamers Frankie and Liv, who were in a uniquely weird place when it came to watching this week’s mum-ringing 6 music darling. We’re more than alright with this pod! For extra bonus Gig Pigs episodes and exclusive…

S3 EP1: Gilla Band with Michael Fry 1:18:03

8M ago1:18:03

1:18:03

The pigs are officially back gigging (/uploading discussions of more gigs we pigged in 2023) and what a jewel (emerald) we have to kick things off: multi-instrumental viral alchemist and late-noughties Oxegen mainstay Michael Fry, guiding us through the scorching intensity of his compatriots Gilla Band and their lamentably cursed garage, as experie…

Pig Tales: Foxes & Hedgehogs 1:15:11

9M ago1:15:11

1:15:11

How many Beatles songs is Paul McCartney obliged to play at Glastonbury? How many Beta Band songs is Steve Mason obliged to play at Green Man? And how many Gig Pigs songs will Foxes and Hedgehogs be obliged to play at the Amersham Arms? Both of them, we hope, as Alex and Ivo talk to Dan and Jack of F&H, soundtrackers to the pod, ahead of February 1…

S2 EP11: Youth Lagoon with James Acaster 1:31:55

11M ago1:31:55

1:31:55

This is how we gig, with our face to the pig, and we were delighted to do so this week with comedy’s most dedicated music purchaser and reorderer, James Acaster, after a trip to watch newly unretired Idahoan dream-popper Youth Lagoon, with some solid time allotted to wedding DJs, prepared shibboleths and a one-man anti-Slipknot protest at Reading F…

S2 EP10: Bombay Bicycle Club with Georgia Graham 1:06:03

11M ago1:06:03

1:06:03

Has Ivo always been like this? No one more qualified to answer than this week’s guest, his very own sister, joining us to eat, sleep, gig (nothing but pig) at apparently the most beautiful venue Bombay Bicycle Club have ever played! Nostalgia heavy even by our standards this week: it’s that ancient love that you won't outgrow! Support your local re…

S2 EP9: Haim with Alison Spittle 1:38:14

12M ago1:38:14

1:38:14

You know we’re bad at communication, it's the hardest thing for us to do, and it's said, it's the most important part that podcasters need to do! In this case, one pretty honking error from Ivo in the top, apologised for profusely in the tail, with an hour and a bit of glorious Alison Spittle (we've forever believed in their insight) in the middle,…

S2 EP8: Boygenius with Felicity Ward 1:52:42

12M ago1:52:42

1:52:42

Give us everything you've got, we’ll take what we can get, we want to hear your story and be a part of it! The casual text that snagged nominated nut-buster and Office reinventer Felicity Ward to join us for true-blue indie supergroup Boygenius at Pryzm Kingston and then answer some easy questions about work and school for a souvenir. It was a good…

S2 EP7: The National with Stuart Laws and Helena Wadia 1:54:05

1y ago1:54:05

1:54:05

Leave your home, watch a gig, wait a week, do a pig! A colossal ep reflecting on two dumb, slow shows at the Ally Pally by a band who don’t know how much we love them, do they? Serial Berningerer Helena Wadia and montage connoisseur Stuart Laws join to try and figure out everything at once, from novelty bombs v novelty bongs to just how much money,…

S2 EP6: First Aid Kit with Chloe Petts 1:32:13

1y ago1:32:13

1:32:13

Gig-pigger, where you been? You look so worn, so thin. To be fair, it was halfway through the Fringe when the pod that doesn’t take the easy road, the easy road, bundled Chloe Petts, classiest glasser in town, into the Pleasance Cabaret Bar to find the silver linings in a chagrin heavy evening at the “hideous” O2 Academy. And before we even get to …

1
S2 EP5: Amatis Trio with Kieran Hodgson 1:20:41

1y ago1:20:41

1:20:41

A quart(sthoff)-century of eps into the pod and it’s been sorely lacking in two things: classical music and the First World War. What a delight to have rectified both omissions in Edinburgh in August, watching a history-infused Amatis Trio at the Queen’s Hall with the crown prince of the Fringe (other sweeping statements available on request) Kiera…

S2 EP4: Lee Fields with Sarah Kendall 1:39:11

1y ago1:39:11

1:39:11

Bonjour et bienvenue au café du jazz! Whatever trip these cats are on it’s the right trip, and this week it’s a trip they (/he) took to watch the relentlessly romantic two-jobbed soul veteran Lee Fields, alongside tux-wearing, task-slamming earthquake (relief concert) survivor Sarah Kendall. And what about the episode’s hefty top, the hefty tail an…

1
S2 EP3: Harry Styles with Rhys James 1:24:39

1y ago1:24:39

1:24:39

Holding him back, Gig Pigs are holding him back, he wants to go home to release his girlfriend, why don't we leave it at that? Here we are, then: Rhys surviving domestic distraction and relentless tangents about newspaper cartoonists / panel show email logins, to compare notes on "our" trip to worship (yet another) Harry at Wembley. Download extra …

1
S2 EP2: Pulp with Shaparak Khorsandi (Live at Latitude!) 1:23:22

1y ago1:23:22

1:23:22

Oh, is this the way they say the podcast’s meant to feel? Or just three Pulp fans chatting in a field? Live from the Listening Post, as the rain poured on Paul Heaton outside, Alex and Ivo ask Shappi if she remembers the first time she saw live music, etc, before talk turns to Rachel Johnson and the chat slides out view. Download extra swill, rate …

S2 EP1: Blur with Josh Widdicombe 1:30:49

1y ago1:30:49

1:30:49

S2 EP1: Blur with Josh Widdicombe Whoo-hoo! There’s no other way we’d like series 2 to kick off than here, talking about Blur with the literal mastermind of the band, seat-seeking Sunday sceptic Josh Widdicombe. Well, here’s our lucky day: after watching/livestreaming/latestreaming the the new album at the (yes please) Hammersmith Apollo, we tuck i…

Gig Pigs 2: Pigs In The City (Series 2 Preview) 30:42

1y ago30:42

30:42

The pigs are back in the trough and familiar roles have been assumed ahead of next week’s official return: Alex has devised, formatted and tiered the new Patreon, and Ivo has put written some song titles on small scraps of paper and put them into bucket hats for a quiz. Click the link below to find out the hours of extra pig tails and other swill w…

Pig Tales: Bruce Springsteen 1:32:04

1+ y ago1:32:04

1:32:04

Proposals, printed lyrics, and promised lands: the pigs recount their respective trips to the circus (literal: Maximus, metaphorical: BST Hyde Park’s tiered standing) to watch the Boss this summer, in an episode that arguably hits a bit harder than last week’s game of “guess the Really Hot Chili Peppers setlist”. Dedicated to our friends around the…

Pig Tales: Future Dogs Die In Kaiser Ferdinand's Hot Hot Car Party 45:35

1+ y ago45:35

45:35

Look at that title and tell me these boys aren’t serious. The purge steps up this week as Alex and Ivo discuss Live Aspects but also Non Live Aspects of their hoariest mid noughties chestnuts: one more chance to rank the Chamber Bullets’ non album singles, whether the Great Scots could have had it so much better with a bit more emotional weight, a …

1
Pig Tales: Latitude 46:48

1+ y ago46:48

46:48

The podcast may be in flux between seasons, but this shouldn’t stop us getting our talons into one of the jewels (exact jewel ranking TBC) in the “UK festivals that you can camp at” crown. Arguably not the most total review of the sumptuous Suffolk smorgasbord, compromised by admin and rain and cold Saturday night pragmatism, but with enough regret…

S1 EP20: Arctic Monkeys with Maisie Adam 1:33:52

1+ y ago1:33:52

1:33:52

It’s the final Gig Pigs Proper of the series and we’re going (sn)out with a bang(er)! Two guests with four Arctic Monkeys gigs this year (and many more before) between them, tackling the mardiest rock debate of our times: whether the new songs make perfect sense or if they should just snap out of it??!! This pod there’ll be some love (serial Alex f…

S1 EP19: The Hives with Sean Burke 1:24:42

1+ y ago1:24:42

1:24:42

Pod on! Pod on! Pod on! Pod on! You’re cuing up a future award-winning interview about the Hives with prolific sketcher / Eurovisionner / elephant pianist Sean Burke. The Swedish rock and lol stars brought their vast catalogue of gold to the Kingston Pryzm and Ivo, Alex and Sean were about as involved as you can be without getting up onstage to pla…

S1 EP18: The Glastonbury Special 45:24

1+ y ago45:24

45:24

Welcome to the jungle! Ivo’s back from Somerset to hoarsely rant about his escapades, but does Alex wanna know? With some texted contributions from other pigs on the farm, we think it’s going to be a long long pod (actually quite short by our standards). Rate, review and roll on Latitude! The Extra Swill playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/…

S1 EP17: Alvvays with Sean McLoughlin 1:33:04

1+ y ago1:33:04

1:33:04

If I saw you at the gig, would I have you in my pig tonight? This week KG and the PW run this and other urgent questions past fantastic comedian and Forum stalwart Sean McLoughlin. What did he make of Ontarian marriage enthusiasts Alvvays? Was it a good time? Or was it highly inappropriate? Enjoy/review/subscribe! The Extra Swill playlist: https://…

S1 EP16: Caroline Rose with Sarah Keyworth 1:57:07

1+ y ago1:57:07

1:57:07

Do you think Gig Pigs will last forever? No, of course not, but we’re well into double figures (hear that Joel?), and podding the way we want i.e. after the gig and full of discount Itsu. This week’s nightcapper was the brilliant Sarah Keyworth, who watched Long Island genre-hopper Caroline Rose with us at Heaven and then stayed up (art of) remembe…

S1 E15: Foals with Nathan D’Arcy Roberts 1:20:29

1+ y ago1:20:29

1:20:29

S1 E15: Foals with Nathan D’Arcy Roberts If inhaling fourteen episodes of aggressively niche music chat hadn’t given you a clear enough picture of what Alex and Ivo were into, you’d really have our number after this one: the deepest of dives, from the top of the world to the bottom of the ocean, into a band we’ve loved for our total lives forever, …

1:35:41

S1 E14: Rick Simpson's KID A with Matt Stronge You can try the best you can, you can try the best you can, but could you recognise a jazz reinterpretation of a song off Kid A if you didn’t have the album’s chronology pointing the way? Producer, photographer and general sidepig-in-chief Matt Stronge reckons he could, and this isn’t even a band he kn…

S1 E13: Georgia with Ania Magliano 1:36:10

1+ y ago1:36:10

1:36:10

Here we go again, my love, you’ve got so much time to spend. And we’re asking for more of it than we used to, to be fair, with our last sub-60 episode feeling a long time ago. But which (and this IS a rhetorical question) of these material gifts would you get rid of? Ania Magliano’s Bastille epic? Ivo’s Fareham tangents? Alex’s life-changing and (a…

S1 E12: Limp Bizkit with Joel Dommett 1:18:36

1+ y ago1:18:36

1:18:36

Does anybody really know the secret, or the combination for this pod and where they keep it? This week Ivo and Alex took old nu metalhead and chiselled singer-unmasker Joel Dommett to seek out these answers at Wembley Arena (formerly Brixton Academy). It was Limp Bizkit’s way or the highway, and sure, Alex chose the highway (the metropolitan line),…

S1 E11: Father John Misty with Harriet Kemsley 1:13:12

1+ y ago1:13:12

1:13:12

Jesus Christ girl, someone’s got to help us pig! And this week, the superbly well-travelled Harriet Kemsley (Leeds Castle! MSG! Carcassonne!) joined us to watch (some of) deadpan crooner Father John Misty and pick over the fear/fun/pure comedy of it all several weeks later. Alongside the usual tangents into board games and tree based side projects,…

S1 E10: Stars with Andrew Nolan 1:25:02

1+ y ago1:25:02

1:25:02

In Alex’s living room, (three days) after the concert: we take you, take you to the Lafayette, where we watched Canadian indie darlings Stars in the company of Irish indie darling Andrew Nolan back in February. No jetpacks, stunt or otherwise, but colossal choruses from (crucially) ACROSS the canon, a glorious jumble of guests, and the pure triumph…

S1 E9: Big Thief with Nish Kumar 1:26:47

1+ y ago1:26:47

1:26:47

A podcast in the grip of greatness! Anecdotes that feel found, not written! Oh, that we could dream of the same reviews that Big Thief got at the Apollo two weeks ago, a series of surprisingly loud folk-rock masterpieces (one of them Masterpiece) in between a Guinness-brokered supertable and a triumphant Belushi’s afters. We were so lucky to discus…

S1 E8: Black Midi with Rajiv Karia 1:17:55

1+ y ago1:17:55

1:17:55

She moves with a (fit for) purpose, and what magnificent purpose. GPGPGP hits its eighth episode (NOT including double eps!) and this one took us to Shoreditch’s Village Underground to watch anarchist visionaries Black Midi in the company of comedian, producer, karaokist and fellow noughties indie almanac Rajiv Karia. This episode features more cha…

S1 E7: Caroline Polachek with Rhiannon Shaw 1:23:25

1+ y ago1:23:25

1:23:25

Not like we’re counting the pods / but it’s been seven (if you count the Sanders double as one). This week sees us at the Apollo once more, watching Caroline Polachek’s Valentine’s graduation to the big leagues alongside comedian, writer and pre-dusk V Festival photographer Rhiannon Shaw (with friend of the pod and Girl Guide survivor Izzy Bromfiel…

S1 E6: Napalm Death with Ed Gamble 1:21:35

1+ y ago1:21:35

1:21:35

Throes of joy in the jaws of defeatism: aka, moments of ecstasy in a mosh pit that we were pretty sure we would be avoiding at all costs. (And Alex mostly did to be fair). Episode six of the pod saw the much-trailed First Venture Out Of The Comfort Zone, but we couldn’t really have asked for a more generous guide into worlds of metal, punk and the …

50:10

S1 E5: Self Esteem with Lou Sanders (Part 1) Part of being funny, is having some sincerity, and using both of them wisely! This week’s noble attempt involved Alex (long life ahead of him) and Ivo (enjoy it while it lasts) retiring with Historic immediacy to the latter’s home, discussing the magnificent Self Esteem in the marvellous and mischievous …

S1 E4: Phoenix with Tom Rosenthal 1:08:08

1+ y ago1:08:08

1:08:08

So sentimental? Not sentimental, no. That’s the respective attitudes of hosts and guest towards this week’s musical offering: Ivo a decade-plus devotee, Alex familiar and curious for more, Tom Rosenthal cheerily dismissive of the band that have soundtracked some of his finest half hours. But what a jaunt! Please enjoy these wayward tales of the Coc…

I don’t care if Monday’s blue, Tuesday’s grey and Wednesday too, Thursday here’s a pod for you, it’s Celya AB talking about The Cure! (And Indochine, St Vincent and her brother’s illegal entry into a battle of the bands). We went to see the godfathers of goth with Celya in December and were already bursting with tenderstem broccoli before the choc …

Hello new world, all the boys and girls, we got some true stories to tell. Stories of a trip to watch the most important rapper of his generation, with diversions to Malaysia, Glastonbury, Nando’s, and the myriad outer planets of the regretosphere. We were extremely lucky to have Phil “Roger’s cousin” Wang invite us to watch Kendrick Lamar in Novem…

S1 E1: Franz Ferdinand with Rose Matafeo and Emma Sidi Track one, side one of the podcast, and the Gig Pigs have gone big, in what is already being referred to in some circles as the Jacqueline of opening episodes.
