I Formed A Band
Eddie Argos and Joe Sparrow
7 episodes
5 months ago
I Formed A Band is a podcast that talks to people who formed bands about the part before they got famous: why did they do it, what did it take to get there, and what was life like when they were forming a band? It’s hosted by Eddie Argos, who formed a band called Art Brut [https://open.spotify.com/artist/1gxXzfykdtDuod56hPkYyr?si=mGwglsEATe6pJI6atckAKg] and sings a song called Formed A Band [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qryAwfpHG8o]; and Joe Sparrow, who did not form a band [https://terelinck.com/], but probably should have done. There’s a huge, secret story behind every successful band: a heady mix of ambition, desperation, perseverance, daydreams, sleeping on sofas, surviving hangovers in the back of a Transit van, and dumb luck. That's what this podcast is about.  (And it's also about compiling The Argos Catalogue: a comprehensive  collection of Eddie's various stories of meeting members of the Wu-Tang Clan in a lift, or singing Half Man Half Biscuit songs with Liam Gallagher, etc) We love hearing from you – if you've got a question for Eddie, send us an email to eddieandjoe@iformedaband.com Oh, also sign up to our email newsletter here [https://www.iformedaband.com/newsletter/] – we’ll send you the latest episodes first, and some bonus podcast bits  (maybe).

The Argos Catalogue: Eddie answers listener's letters (and reveals his time as a traffic warden, his beef with Kele from Bloc Party and the glory days of Landfiull Indie)
Ep. 2: We begin to document the life, times and tribulations of the much-storied, celebrity-beef-starting, indie troubadour Eddie Argos  – and then compile the stories in... The Argos Catalogue. Yes, indeed, it's the inevitable "readers' letters" episode, and boy, do we learn some eye-opening stuff about Eddie's career. So join Eddie and Joe – the Richard and Judy of indie music podcasting – and learn: > How Eddie was a traffic warden and used to let Mel C from the Spice Girls off from getting parking tickets > How Eddie once got into an escalating feud with Kele from Bloc Party that ended in him being karate kicked > He then reveals that he has moved on from starting beefs with famous singers – before immediately starting a beef with Thom Yorke > What Eddie's dream Top Of The Pops line-up would be and yes of course David Devant and His Spirit Wife would be performing > Eddie invents a hypothetical but plausible band called "Wellington Boot" > Eddie and Joe also recall the glory days of Landfill Indie, and whether it was " one of the least exciting things to happen to music this century" > And in a new, possibly one-off, show segment called "Me and yer granny on bongos" Eddie theorises which bands could survive if you ejected all the members except the singer (and replaced everyone else with a bongo-playing granny) We'd also like to point out that Richard Madeley was acquitted of all charges of shoplifting, and Eddie was simply making a joke. Send your own questions for Eddie via eddieandjoe@iformedaband.com! They'll probably get answered by him!  Links mentioned: https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/art-brut-a-record-collection-reduced-to-a-mixtape-and-yes-this-is-my-singing-voice/ https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thefall/the-granny-on-bongos-quote-t42821.html https://www.vice.com/en/article/the-top-50-greatest-landfill-indie-songs-of-all-time/
