On Buzz Bands’ behalf, local promoter and DJ Larry Gjurgevich — one of the driving forces behind the long-running L.A. weekly Club Undergound (where, on any given Friday, you’re likely to hear the Psychedelic Furs and Happy Mondays) — caught up with Ryder
Thank you for taking time out. How is this tour going?
In San Francisco to have a shower and some sleep.
It’s great, ya know what I mean? It’s great, but I’m an old man now and this is a young man’s game, ya know what I mean? I’m getting old for this game of night after night after night of shows. Been good, though.
You played huge festivals over the summer such as V Festival, how was that?
It was great, really great.
What bands are you listening to at the moment?
There are a lot of bands that I like at the moment. I’m not like the other older f*****s slaggin’ on all the new bands. There’s load of good bands out at the moment. Problem is, I can’t remember their names. As far as English bands go, I am a big fan of Twisted Wheel. They are a great Manchester band, I think they are one of the best bands to come out of Manchester in the last 20 years.
