Thompson Twins co-founder Tom Bailey joins Kyle Meredith to talk about the 40th anniversary of Into The Gap as well as co-headlining this summer’s Totally Tubular Festival, an 80s alternative music lovers’ dream that features co-headliner Thomas Dolby, along with Modern English, Men Without Hats, The Romantics, Bow Wow Wow, Tommy Tutone and The Plimsouls. The 80s icon takes us back to the frantic album release schedule that the band enjoyed in the 80s, becoming designers of pop songs, and the critical response they occasionally faced. Bailey also remembers 1994’s The Stone, and LP that came with a different sound and name (Babble) and what it was like to re-enter the underground, and also discusses rock’s current lack of a social impact, the need for nonconformist outsider art, the band’s many remixes, and new anniversary editions of their catalog.
