We
had only heard the acoustic verison but then Turin Brakes played us
the full band version of their new single 'Painkiller' and we saw
that it was good. Very good. That sort of wake-up-the-next-day-still-humming-the-damn-thing
good. Sloping melancholic acoustic indie goodness.

Waiting for their turn on stage, Turin boys Olly and Gale made a big
mistake: they talked to us.
What are your plans for 2003? G: Touring the world
– Japan, America, Australia, New Zealand, Europe and England
quite a few times. And back again. Twice. What have you been
listening to? Cornelius. Stevie Wonder. Bonnie Prince Billy.
Boards Of Canada. Talk Talk. Who do you rate among your contemporaries?
G: Elbow. What was the first record you ever bought?
O: Five star – Systematic. G: Chas & Dave Greatest Hits.
Oh yeah – your personal favourite off that album? ‘Goocha’.
Ever been to a gig you’re embarrassed about?
O: I used to see Carter the Unstoppable Sex Machine quite a lot. At
the time I thought they were brilliant. I listened to an old cassette
of them a while ago…I don’t know what was wrong with me.
Ever been arrested? O: I used to be in a graf crew
when I was 16 who did some very beautiful pieces in the streets of
London. And we got arrested and put in prison for a day. After that
I decided to make music instead. Gale? G: Busted
but not arrested. It was a really cold day in France. The sniffer
dogs were on holiday so they pulled out everything off the bus. And
we had to stand there for two hours. The very last bags they pulled
out were the stash bags. The police were kinda cool. They just fined
us and said, “The next time – just say ‘yes’”.
Can you do human Beatbox? O: Yeah. I’ve been
waiting years to be asked this question. Click here
to hear. Tell us one amazing fact O: It doesn’t
matter how heavy an aeroplane is as long as the wings are big enough
and the correct shape and enough thrust it will take off. Um,
cheers
