Lawrence conversation post Go Kart Mozart Glasgow May 13th show at the ABC

Intro: So I left after the second Saint Etienne song and ran into Terry Miles and the drummer (Gary?) in the lobby. I told them that I had traveled from California for this show so they were kind enough to take me backstage to meet Lawrence. We spoke a little bit and I was invited to meet them back at their hotel after the show.
------------------------------------------
Highlights of my conversation with Lawrence at the Malmaison Hotel after the Glasgow May 13th show at the ABC (in no particular order).

-Lawrence lived in a homeless shelter for two years after losing his flat in London. He lived a few months with Peter Astor of the Weather Prophets

-We spoke about the Luke Haines book “Bad Vibes” which Lawrence is reading. He feels that he got off easy by what Luke wrote about him. He and Luke have never met to date.

-The film “Lawrence of Belgravia” will not be finished till about October 2009 or so. There are over 40 hours of footage (I believe) and there are plans to film the May 2009 Go Kart Mozart London show. The showing in London a few months ago was only the partially completed film.

-The guitarist on this tour (name escapes me) is the bass player for the Buzzcocks and The Sex Pistol’s roadie/personal assistant. Funny enough he is really a guitar player more than a bass player.

-The up coming Go Kart Mozart album will contain the recorded but never officially released songs “Robot Voice” and “Men Look at Women”

-Lawrence has lost contact with Maurice Deebank but has heard that he works in a factory and has been recently involved in an accident (possibly lost limbs but none of this is confirmed). Lawrence is trying to get his contact information to get in touch with him.

-Terry Miles and Martin Duffy are cousins. He also told me the story of “Summer Smash”. He gave Lawrence the music and sang do-doots where he felt the vocals should be Leaving Lawrence to write the lyrics. When it came time to record the song Lawrence left the do-doots on the chorus which were really meant to be a placeholder of sorts.

-The drummer tonight was a session drummer that was brought on at the last moment. Lawrence had originally had a 21 year old girl which when it came time to tour she couldn’t.

-Lawrence doesn’t think much of the Felt tribute album that came out a few years back.

-Lawrence was not happy with the Denim Jools Holland show in the early 90’s. The producers wanted him to shorten the songs. The girl on the show and who appears in the Denim “Middle of the road” video is a friend’s girlfriend. She was wearing his clear raincoat with the silver stripes on the Jools Holland show.

-Lawrence doesn’t see too much cinema but he gave reviews to the films “Thirteen” and the Maggie Gylenhaal film “Sherry Baby”

-Lawrence spoke about the Cherry Music receiving award ceremony for the Pillows and Prayers” compilation.

Por cierto, en el mismo foro se da cuenta de que Manic Street Preachers han editado en la versión japonesa de su nuevo lp, una versión de "Primitive Painters" de Felt (que no me gusta nada...) y la han colgado aquí: http://rapidshare.com/files/237602790/Primitive_Painters.mp3
