Episode description

Eddie Argos is a man so obsessed with forming bands that he did it, recorded a song about it, wrote a book about it, painted pictures about it – and now has a podcast where he can ask other people the timeless question: "why did you form a band?"

Join him and sort-of journalist Joe Sparrow (who didn't form a band) as they talk to artists about the part before they got famous: why did they form a band, what did it take to get there, and what was life like while they were doing it?

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 [email protected]
