60 Minutes or less - A podcast from Birthday Cake For Breakfast

Welcome to ’60 Minutes or less’ - the podcast from Birthday Cake For Breakfast - where for episode 35, we jump back in time to late 2024, when we had the pleasure of interviewing the incomparable Warmduscher!A proper motley crew, Warmduscher have been ripping it for over a decade now, releasing five full lengths that dabble in sleazy funk, raucous post-punk and bleary-eyed disco. In early November 2024 - a week ahead of releasing their latest record ’Too Cold To Hold’ (via Strap Originals) - we caught up with the band before a headline show at The Ritz in Manchester, squeezing into a room backstage with Clams Baker Jr. and Ben Romans Hopcraft to talk about the new record, public opinion of Warmduscher and much more. The record features a number of brilliant guest spots - from Irvine Welsh to Lianne La Havas to Confidence Man’s Janet Planet - but we also touched on a few dream collabs that have eluded them, like Grace Jones! Can you imagine?As is often the case, interviews ahead of shows come with certain challenges - mainly location and time related - and as such, you’ll hear quite a bit of the awesome power from support band Hot Wax, who were sound checking at the time. There’s a healthy amount of random people coughing and doors being opened and closed too, but hey - Ben and Clams were good sports throughout and projected well, but do excuse the extra noise…If you like the episode, let us know - follow us on your favourite streaming platform and follow Birthday Cake For Breakfast on all the socials.

Welcome to ’60 Minutes or less’ - the podcast from Birthday Cake For Breakfast. It’s a special episode break for us - our first bonus episode - as we welcome back Raygun Busch, vocalist in noisy Oklahoma outfit Chat Pile!Originally appearing on the podcast for Episode 21, Raygun returns for what is a regular feature on Birthday Cake For Breakfast - ‘a/s/l’ - which is basically one of those ‘How much is a pint of milk?’ endeavours you used to find in magazines. Head-scratching questions that are the same every time. The latest Chat Pile record ‘Cool World’ was released in late 2024 via The Flenser - but we don’t talk about that. Instead it’s cats and dogs, favourite VHS tapes and why cartoon foxes are so cool. Bonus points for Raygun for doing all this while driving!If you like the episode, let us know - follow us on your favourite streaming platform and follow Birthday Cake For Breakfast on all the socials.

Welcome to ’60 Minutes or less’ - the podcast from Birthday Cake For Breakfast - where for episode 32, we’re pushing the format to its very limits as our guest, the brilliant Joshua Idehen, had so much to say!Based in Sweden, British-born Nigerian Idehen is a poet and musician of some renown, having collaborated with a number of artists over the years and contributed poems to Mercury-nominated albums from the likes of Sons of Kemet and The Comet Is Coming.More recently, Idehen has been putting out his own material, along with partner in crime Ludvig Parment, and we were particularly enamoured with the lovely 2023 single ‘Best Kind Of Lost’. In September 2024, Idehen practically blew up with the release of the insane single ‘Mum Does The Washing’, what I’m affectionately calling a modern day, internet-pilled ‘Sunscreen’.We caught up with Joshua earlier this year over Zoom to talk about the mammoth single and so much more. It’s a real treat this - stay listening to the very end, it gets spicy!If you like the episode, let us know - follow us on your favourite streaming platform and follow Birthday Cake For Breakfast on all the socials.

Welcome to ’60 Minutes or less’ - the podcast from Birthday Cake For Breakfast - where for our 31st episode, we keep it local with our guest, multi-instrumentalist Francesca Pidgeon a.k.a. Dilettante.Known for her work with BC Camplight’s band, Pidgeon is also the brainchild and leader of art-rock collective Dilettante, putting out their debut album ‘Tantrum’ in late 2022 after a run of early singles. This year saw the release of the hotly tipped follow up from Dilettante, new album ‘Life Of The Party’ arriving in late January, the first totally self-produced Dilettante record, said by Pidgeon to be her most personal one yet.We caught up with Pidgeon over Zoom ahead of the release of the record, catching Francesca moments after she arrived home having cycled back from roller derby practice. Talk naturally turned almost immediately to roller derby, as well as the ‘Cha Cha Slide’, ‘Twin Peaks’ and the film ‘Poor Things’. We did still find time to talk about the new record and the creative process, as well as picking up odd jobs whilst working as a full time musician. Heads up - there’s a few audio issues on this one, but we powered on through.As ever, If you like the episode, let us know - follow us on your favourite streaming platform and follow Birthday Cake For Breakfast on all the socials.
