How To Do Everything with Tommy Dassalo

This week I've dragged my podcast suite into the Sydney Opera House for a very special chat with ALEXIS TAYLOR from HOT CHIP before their soundcheck and performance in the Concert Hall. We chat about being present on stage, what Alexis is thinking about when he plays Boy From School, experimenting with new methods of playing the guitar, the perfect comedians to open for Hot Chip on tour, and the questionable work ethic of one of the most famous artists of all time. What a thrill to get to record this chat with one of The Great Men, in one of The Great Venues! There's a special extended edit of this episode featuring clips from most of the music that we talk about, available now on the Patreon: Patreon.com/HowToDoEverything Alexis' new solo record Paris In The Spring is out March 13. You can pre-save the album now and check out the single Out Of Phase on all the streaming platforms. Tommy is on tour: Feb 11 - 15 in Perth, Feb 20 & 21 in Adelaide, April 7 - 19 in Melbourne. Tickets: TommyDassalo.com

I was in Adelaide doing shows and so I invited LLOYD LANGFORD around to chat about my rich history in the hotel I was staying in, Lloyd putting off an entire production with his room upgrade, short circuiting a hotel in Prague, giving out potentially life-threatening advice to a drunk comedian, auditioning for a reality show and heaps, HEAPS more!
