BBC Merseyside radio session (listen again)

Stefan — Wed, 20 Apr 2011 11:43:46 +0000

Turin Brakes did a session and interview for BBC Merseyside. It all starts about 32 minutes in after you’ve hit play HERE. They talk about ten years of TB, co-writing and Tony Hoffer (producer of Ether Song) play Mirror and Rocket Song from Outbursts.

Rob the drummer said on Facebook:

“Hey Peeps, this is an acoustic session we did for the legendary Dave Monks when we wer in Liverpool last week. It was a lot of fun, even though he kept calling me ‘big guy’…… R.x”

Listen again: Bob Harris (BBC Radio 2) session

Stefan — Mon, 14 Jun 2010 06:03:25 +0000

Listen again to Turin Brakes at the Bob Harris show on BBC Radio 2. The guys played Sea Change, Feeling Oblivion and Underdog (Save Me) and picked some favourites from the playlist and talked about those. Listen again here, it starts after 1 hour and 12 minutes.

Bob Harris show tonight

Stefan — Sat, 12 Jun 2010 12:54:46 +0000

Turin Brakes will appear in an acoustic session and talking about Outbursts on BBC Radio 2‘s Bob Harris show tonight. The show starts at midnight. Turin Brakes will be on air from 1 am. The session was recorded earlier this week.

Absolute Radio session + playlist

Stefan — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 19:16:41 +0000

The Sea Change has been added to the playlist of Absolute Radio. That is a good sign. So let’s hope more playlists will add it during this and next week, so it will be on heavy rotation when the release is upon us.

In even nicer news, the band will (once again) join Geoff Lloyd on his Absolute Radio show on 22 February 2009 for a live session (that’s another guaranteed play for the The Sea Change, then!). Once again, let’s hope it’s the first of many.

Shaun Keaveny session coming up

Stefan — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 23:44:04 +0000

BBC 6Music’s breakfast show (hosted by Shaun Keaveny) played host to Turin Brakes in September 2009 and they’re doing it again this week. Since Monday, single The Sea Change is ‘single of the week’ (which means it gets played everyday for the whole week). Even better though, on Friday the band will be in the studio and “they’ll be bringing their guitars’… So that’s something to look forward to, then!

The Sea Change is the debut single from Outbursts and will be released on 22 February 2010.

Dermot O’Leary round-up: Sea Change is first single

Stefan — Sat, 02 Jan 2010 16:46:24 +0000

Turin Brakes joined the Dermot O’Leary show on BBC Radio 2 just now, for a 20 minute interview + session. Olly, Gale and Eddie played new song The Sea Change and announced it would be released as the first single from Outbursts on 22 February. There was some confusion considering when the album was released with Olly and Gale mentioning the different dates of 1 and 8 March, but early March is definitely happening. Besides touring the UK, a tour of ‘Europe’ is ‘hopefully’ happening and there are even talks about a new US tour. After talking about the recording of the album, Twitter, babies and touring the highlands, the whole thing ended with a nice rendition of Feeling Oblivion. The whole thing will be available here soon.

Live Session on BBC Radio 2 this Saturday!

Stefan — Mon, 28 Dec 2009 21:55:07 +0000

This Saturday, you will be able to listen a live session with Olly, Gale and Eddie (Bass) on BBC Radio 2′s Dermot O’Leary show, featuring Dermot O’Leary. Dermot is a big fan of the band, he has mentioned in previous shows, even when the band wasn’t in the studio, so we can look forward to a nice show. Presumably, the band will spill the beans on what’s to come on/with Outbursts, so it should be interesting. They previously played The Sea Change and Never Stops for Dermot’s show earlier this Summer.

Best bits of BBC Bristol ‘Morning Glory’

“Because it’s Christmas” (well almost anyway), this week’s Morning Glory (the BBC Radio Bristol show) features the best bits of their Turin Brakes special from September. This includes two session songs (Painkiller and Underdog), a BBC Radio Bristol jingle (which wasn’t really good ) and plenty of interview footage. Listen on iPlayer here.

BBC Shetland Sideways

The promised previews have yet to show up on YouTube, but you can now listen again to the BBC Shetland show here. Besides an interview talking about jobs before the record deal (Olly previewed Cartoon Network cartoons in Polish), O&G play some acoustic songs (Painkiller, Never Stops and possibly more). The program lasts an hour and TB get on after a minute or ten.
