57: The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster - Sym Gharial on Brighton and bass lines, Liam Gallagher's favourite music video, and a surprising movie role
This week on The Boys in the Band Podcast we talk to Sym Gharial from The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster, the hard rocking band from Brighton, about their three albums, wild live shows, and a music video which Liam Gallagher named as a favourite! The band's music was picked up by advertisers and movie-makers - leading to a surprise appearance in Shaun of the Dead! - but away from the commercial space this was a band with a close connection to the fans which followed them. We discuss their rise, their attitude to the rest of the scene at the time, and how they captured that live show intensity on records. The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster fan?
