Guy Garvey + sausage = internet sensation. This is the high quality content I expect from the internet.

‘Something we’ve always said we’d love to do is see Guy play on his own,’ Turner says. He admits he asked his wife to put a family holiday on hold in case it clashed with Garvey’s solo tour, prompting an “awww” from Garvey. 'I can’t miss that opportunity. It might take off, and then that’s the only way I’ll get to see you [Garvey],’ he says, and [Garvey and Turner] burst into another fit of the giggles.

My favorite story related to this is Guy sending Jupp up a big hill with a super fancy pair of binoculars and having Craig whistle at Jupp so that Jupp would look at them through the binoculars as Guy stepped into view wearing nothing but his boots.

Alright, at buildarocketboys’ request, the France story: something along the lines of the boys all cooped up in Pete’s parents’ house in the middle of nowhere in France working on an album and they were all going a bit stir crazy (they ran out of booze and resorted to drinking cooking wine which turned their teeth clear) so they all went home for a break except for Guy who stayed to write. The boys all got back a week or two later and Guy had gone a bit mad being totally alone in the middle of nowhere, no other human contact, and was running around with a torch taped to an axe. He was so excited to see the boys that he didn’t shut up the whole first night they were back, had “verbal diarrhea” as he puts it, and finally ran out of things to say but didn’t want to lose out on all the attention they were giving him. So he went over to the fireplace, called their names, and dropped his pants, standing there butt naked. They call it the fireside trick or something of sorts nowadays.

New elbow EP to be released on June 24th

“elbow are involved in various solo projects and collaborative endeavours for the next few months and we just felt we really wanted to get ‘something’ away to tide fans over until the next album. We’ve always loved the EP as a format and we’ve enjoyed making this one so much I wouldn’t be surprised if there was another before long. All the songs on this EP are set in Manchester city centre. Manchester’s symbol has been the worker bee for hundreds of years and the lead track is about finding love far away from home. Far from being just a stop gap this is one of our proudest releases” - Guy Garvey (x)
