  • 5 | The Red Hot Chili Peppers Paradox w/ Josh Weller (The Kenneths, The Witcher and more) | My Mum Was Our Roadie Podcast
    2024/05/16

    This episode, another great comedian joins the pod to talk about his experience being in bands as a youngster. Josh Weller is a unique comedian in that he makes consistently hilarious and viral videos that nearly all hinge around very specific musical observations. Not only that but he's a great stand up and his show "Age Against the Machine", a mix of storytelling ,stand up and musical sketches that chronicles his experience getting signed to a record label in his 20s, was one of the highlights of my visit to Edinburgh Fringe in 2023. Josh and I reflect on DJs, the talent gap, punk music, angering fan bases, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, mocking with love and many more aspects of music and comedy. This is a great chat and not one to be missed if you enjoy discovering the parallels between these two disciplines.

  • 4 | Chaos At Festivals w/ Dean Coughlin (The Mild High Club)
    2024/04/24

    Our first comedian! Dean Coughlin is the first of hopefully many guests who I've met on the comedy scene as opposed to during my past life as a musician. Now, he's known as co-host of The Mild High Club podcast, streaming and live shows as well as an opener for Paul Smith, Dan Nightingale and more. However, he got his start in the Merseyside metal outfits Cthulhu and Codeca (that's two separate bands, not one epic name).

    We talk about many things, including but not limited to; 8-string guitars, band dynamics, the juxtaposition between the image of metal bands and how nice they are, the chaos of festivals like Leeds and Download, and that warm fuzzy feeling you get when a place you've never been to before welcomes your band as if you're a local. Enjoy the episode, and check out Dean's comedy because he's one of my favourite acts on the scene at the moment.

  • 3 | Spray Painting CDs w/ Stef Ketteringham (Strobe 45, Shield Your Eyes) | My Mum Was Our Roadie
    2024/04/11

    Our second guest joins the podcast, none other than underground hero Stef Kett of Shield Your Eyes, Reciprocate and many more. Here Alex and Stef reminisce about Strobe 45, Stef's virtually unknown, short-lived but incredible punk-funk project from the mid-2000s. They were Alex's favourite unsigned band of all time so he was pretty excited. Stef tells of how his bandmates knew nothing about what they were supposed to do but hounded out gigs wherever they could and rehearsed in bedrooms and even a school. Check out Stef's projects on his YouTube and we've linked to a few other artists mentioned on the pod below.

    2024/02/29

    Our very first episode! MMWOR is proud to present a spectacular first guest, Foals drummer Jack Bevan. Alex and Jack go back quite a way, and in this hour-long chat they discuss school music lessons, the village hall scene in South Oxfordshire, battles of the bands, punk all-dayers, working minimum wage jobs and a quick teaser of how Jack first met his soon-to-be creative partner Yiannis Phillippakis.


    You can listen to Foals on all good streaming platforms and catch their inevitable live dates in the second half of 2024. Alex is performing at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival August 1-25.

  • My Mum Was Our Roadie | Episode 0 | Intro w/ Alex Camp
    2024/02/13

    Welcome to my new podcast, "My Mum Was Our Roadie", in which we explore the experience of being young, dumb and part of a rock band before the social media age. I'm Alex Camp; comedian, podcast host and veteran of multiple bands that never quite made it. I toured across the UK and Europe playing music from 2000-2014 but most of the classic underground bands, village hall gigs and wild stories have been lost to time. This podcast will endeavour to capture the memories of that unforgettable era and shine a light on the great bands that were sandwiched between the ages of physical and digital media.
