Live at Leeds 2013 Interview with Electric Guest
When four grown men post pictures of themselves shirtless on Facebook it’s never a good thing. The people at Calvin Klein have been coming to our shows “gifting” us with undergarments so we took this picture before a show in Paris, trying to look attractive or whatever. Agh.
LONDON=TRILL (TRUE+REAL)
So good, the crowd, everything. Here’s us backstage before the show.
Matt UK Daily Star Interview
PROFILE: ELECTRIC GUEST
The weirdest thing that happened to us was hearing about one of our songs getting performed on Dancing With The Stars
Matt, Electric Guest

ELECTRIC Guest are the first new act this year to have their album on repeat at Playlist HQ.
Mondo, out now, is truly brilliant funk and soul-filled pop.
It offers pinches of Gnarls Barkley and fl ashes of Empire Of The Sun, while sounding utterly fresh at the same time.
Frontman, multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Asa Taccone, 30, met drummer Matt Compton on the LA music circuit and they shared a house with other musos.
Matt told me: “Danger Mouse was mentoring Asa and we were crazy workaholics but Mondo was a project not even to be released at fi rst.”
Now the duo boast Damon Albarn, 45, and Harry Potter actress Emma Watson, 23, as fans.
Matt, 34, continued: “Damon is super-talented and I watched Harry Potter so it’s cool that Emma is a fan, but I try to see the bigger picture.
“The weirdest thing that happened to us was hearing about one of our songs getting performed on Dancing With The Stars.”
The US version of Strictly won’t be the last big show to come calling.
But for now the pair are focusing on live gigs, including shows tonight in Manchester, tomorrow in London and at next month’s Live At Leeds festival.
Everyone in ROUEN, FR is attractive and kind. It was like being around some strange, large family after the show tonight. We didn’t get any footage of the show but Matthew did shoot us at sound check. We spent the most of it making up terrible songs instead of checking our set. This is one of those terrible songs.
PARIS:
Truly a lovely group of human beings. And dad, sorry I always talk shit about you on stage. I’m only kidding obviously. Call me, btw. I wanna talk.
Last rehearsal before tour
Get out there, UK!
