Feeder Chat To ilikemusic

ILM: You do have a talent for that. You can tell it is Feeder but it continues to hold your attention...

Grant: Yeah. Some people like our heavier side and that is fine, I totally understand that. But, we have always had another side. The strings and a more melodic, acoustic side. It has always been there. Some people say "Oh they're a heavy band" and then when we do an album with some lighter songs they say, "Oh, they've gone all light now" but it was always there, we just put those songs on that record, that's just the way it is.

ILM: You recently gave unsigned acts the chance to support you live. A great idea! How did it go?

Grant: Really good actually. There were a couple of really, really great bands. Some areas were stronger than others. There were a couple of slightly weaker ones but it was really good. We had over four hundred bands who entered, so there was a lot of stuff. There were three or four out of the eight shows that were really strong. It was a nice thing to do. I remember how hard it was for us trying to get support gigs when we started out. It was just a nightmare. I just thought at least we knew all the gigs would be sold out and they would be playing to a big audience, or bigger than they were used to. I think it went really well for them. A couple of them have gone further since.
