Field Music - "Take control of your destiny... form a Doors tribute band"

Field Music - "Take control of your destiny... form a Doors tribute band"

Author: Mighty Moon Media September 9, 2025 Duration: 40:01
Famed for starting a Doors covers band to supplement income performing their own music, Field Music's David Brewis says it shouldn't come as a surprise. Despite sharing rehearsal spaces with 2000's mainstream indie bands The Futureheads and Maximo Park, the Brewis brothers had no interest in pleasing anyone else; only making music for themselves. Coming up to 20 years since their debut album, the Sunderland trio have nearly always done everything in-house, from self producing albums to driving themselves on tour. David has put his high level maths ability to good use on tour balance sheets while his brother Peter took what he learned working at youth centres to task in their band life. They play in London, Leeds and Sunderland to celebrate their anniversary in November, find more info and tickets at https://field-music.co.uk/ Get yourself some top class Shure microphone gear: https://shu.re/3YhV7p2 DistroKid makes music distribution fun and easy with unlimited uploads and artists keeping the ENTIRETY of their revenue.

Behind every artist's public success lies a less visible story of hustle and side gigs. 101 Part Time Jobs with Giles Bidder digs into that reality, offering conversations that feel more like a backstage chat than a formal interview. Host Giles Bidder, from Mighty Moon Media, sits down with musicians and creators to talk about the grit required to sustain a creative life. These discussions move beyond the music itself to explore the resilience and practical work ethic that fuel artists in a notoriously unpredictable industry. You’ll hear how they navigate the constant shifts, balancing passion with pragmatism to keep making art. The guest list speaks to the show's eclectic and compelling range, featuring voices from IDLES and KNEECAP to Blossoms, Denzel Curry, Self Esteem, and Tim Heidecker, alongside conversations with The Last Dinner Party, Lauren Mayberry, and Crowded House. Each episode of this podcast uncovers the personal drive and sometimes unconventional jobs that allow the show to literally go on. It’s a candid look at culture and society through the lens of artistic survival, celebrating the determination found in music’s most compelling figures. Tune in for honest stories about the hustle behind the harmony.
