## Resource

In episode 132 we bagged a chat with Chris Olley of Six By Seven, one of the most prolific and uncompromising figures to come out of the 90s British alternative scene! From touring Germany in a caravan before they were signed to building a massive live guitar sound to going fully independent in 2004 this is a story about artistic survival 🤟🏻 We talk about the raw power of Peel Sessions, why he hated playing live despite giving everything on stage, what really happened with Britpop and why being an artist ultimately just means refusing to stop! This is a conversation about noise, control, independence and what it actually costs to keep making music on your own terms 🤟🏻 Stupid & Contagious STORE https://stupid-contagious-podcast.myshopify.com Welcome to The Stupid And Contagious podcast, a podcast focused on bringing you interviews with the bands that defined a generation! That generation grew up in the 90s with the Grebo bands (Senseless Things, PWEI, Neds Atomic Dustbin, Mega City Four, The Wonderstuff and many more) on the UK side of the pond and quickly joined by the grunge bands (Nirvana, Mudhoney, Alice In Chains, Soundgarden and many more) on the US side of the pond. We are not limiting ourselves to these genres though, we will chart the guitar bands from all genres throughout the decade that was the 1990s. If you are into 1990s guitar music or just a music lover in general then this is the podcast for you!
