Pendulum Chat To I Like Music

As well as rocking crowds around the world with their blend of basslines, riffs, electronica and rock, Pendulum recently announced their partnership with Crisis Hidden Gigs. A series of London-based events throughout May and June, Pendulum are just one of the big acts that have signed up to the bill. The big twist is that the venues will remain hidden until 24 hours before the gig, when a text or email message will be sent to the ticket holders revealing its location.

By withholding details until the last minute, Crisis aims to raise awareness of the precarious situation facing hidden homeless people, who often don't know where they will end up each night and are often forced to move from place to place.

I Like Music caught up with Gareth to chat about Crisis, festivals, making music, fancy dress and their third album plans...

"I Like Music because… it keeps me from flipping burgers in a burger van" GARETH, PENDULUM

ILM: Why did you decide to get involved with Crisis?

Gareth: We have quite a large audience at the moment. We manage to get a lot of people through the doors! With a wider problem like this, the opportunity to do it, was something that we definitely wanted to do. It's really fulfilling being out there playing to an audience that are really enjoying it and loving it. Especially audiences that know your music well. If you can use that to get people to recognice a certain cause or a charity, I think that's really important. It takes it to the next level.
