Mike Kinsella (American Football) with Andy Hull (Manchester Orchestra)
Talkhouse Podcast - A podcast by Talkhouse - Thursdays
We here at the Talkhouse Podcast were psyched when Chicago-based indie festival Tomorrow Never Knows asked us to curate a live taping as part of their January 2019 lineup. So, we paired Andy Hull (Manchester Orchestra) and Mike Kinsella (American Football, Owen) for an exclusive conversation and acoustic performance. Thanks to all of you Midwest listeners who braved the winter chill to pack out Sleeping Village!
Andy and Mike are old friends, and big fans of each other’s music. They were excited to catch up for this talk, and the ensuing conversation covered a lot, including: their ever-evolving songwriting chops and philosophies; how having kids changes one’s creativity; and what exactly went down at that craziest Owen show ever…
The performance setlist is:
Andy — “The Gold”
Mike — “Love is Not Enough”
Andy — “Untitled (Blue)”
Mike — “The Desperate Act”
