The Raincoats Talk with Protomartyr for the Talkhouse Podcast

The legendary proto-punk band sits down with the emerging punk band, Protomartyr, at Rough Trade in London.

6:00 AM EDT on June 21, 2018

This week's Talkhouse Podcast episode features a fantastic conversation between The Raincoats and Protomartyr, recorded live at Rough Trade East in London, followed by an audience Q&A session.

My special guest host is Jenn Pelly, Contributing Editor at Pitchfork — where she glowingly reviewed Protomartyr's new Consolation EP last week — and author of the 33 1/3 series book on The Raincoats' self-titled debut album.

The bands' talk takes in a lot: presenting oneself as you are versus a cultivated rock star image; Protomartyr’s collaboration with Kelley Deal of The Breeders and The Raincoats’ work with Angel Olsen; how Kurt Cobain’s fandom forever changed The Raincoats' career; and much, much more.

Check it out, and subscribe now to stay in the loop on future episodes of the Talkhouse Podcast.

Today's episode is in partnership with Rough Trade. It was recorded by James Spinks and co-produced by Mark Yoshizumi.
