Melanie and John join us to talk about chaotic DIY touring, sleeping on floors, playing over 150 gigs in a year, muddy festivals, VHS archives, and the surreal experience of opening for Nirvana during the legendary Rollercoaster tour era. We also get into Nottingham’s underground music scene, goth clubs, shoegaze, crusties, four-track recordings, and what it was really like trying to survive as an indie band before the internet existed. Plus after more than 30 years Tabitha Zu are finally revisiting and releasing music that was never properly finished back in the day! So grab a drink, turn it up loud, and enjoy this conversation with Tabitha Zu! 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!
