From Tom Tom Club to tUnE-yArDs
Guy reveals why he loves tUnE-yArDs, the music project of Merrill Garbus, and how she's been influenced by Fela Kuti and Tom Tom Club, whose music also features in the programme.
In this episode, Guy features tUnE-yArDs, an act he loves and believes are making the most exciting music around at the moment.
Guy meets tUnE-yArDs' front woman Merrill Garbus, who reveals what inspires her and how she writes and records her music. There's also a unique insight into the creative and production process behind her elaborate music videos. ±«Óãtv Radio 6 Music’s Lauren Laverne also joins Guy to give her own take on tUnE-yArDs' music and influences.
There are also a few musical blasts from the past with an old favourite of Lauren’s - Tom Tom Club’s classic music video to ‘Genius of Love’, as well as a rare performance from Fela Kuti at Glastonbury in 1984.
