Gig Pigs with Ivo Graham and Alex Kealy

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 play bass.

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!

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?

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) remembering it with us until the wee smalls. More of the same next week!

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, alongside antidote-immune second album electric bloomer Nathan D’Arcy Roberts. It’s time to talk about what went down last month in Kingston, and, crucially, what didn’t. Everything not seen will be lamented!

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 knows a lot about! So please laugh until your head comes off at our cultured if confusing night out, and the various dubious tangents/texts/trips covered in its retelling. This IS happening! We ARE here!

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 (at time of writing) year-topping news? And that’s before we’ve even got into the main business of Georgia running up that hill, (about) working that dancefloor, and turning Omeara into pure Euphoria (release date July 28th). Ivo wasn’t even there and he still had a great time! Ania is fantastic! Alex is engaged! Stay a while and be in this moment with us!

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), but not before a solid hour and a half of doing it all for the nookie. Needless to say some of this filth will be on the Swill and if you’re enjoying the podcast please keeping ratin’ ratin’ ratin’

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, the real story of this ep were the real licks baby for Ivo “dog’s favourite customer” Graham. Oh baby don’t be alarmed, this is just our vibe!

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 of being live and alive: what we’re trying to say, without having to say, what we want to say - we loved this gig! Come out with us tonight, come out with us tonight, give us a review under fluorescent light!
