The post Primal Scream and IDLES to Join Jehnny Beth On Her New TV Chat Show appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>Beth is the frontwoman of Savages and recently decided to go her own way and launch a solo career. Now, she has revealed that she will be broadcasting a new chat show called “ECHOES”. The first episode is due to be filmed later this month and will air later this year.
“For years, I’ve been driven by a real desire to bring musicians together and to allow people from our community as a whole to interact,” Beth said of her new show.
“Sharing our mistakes, our funny stories, our pleasures, our regrets is a natural reflex during conversations between artists,” she continued. “I want to bring to the audience the kind of intimate, unfiltered and inspiring discussions that I have witnessed so many times.”
Primal Scream and IDLES are among the list of artists to already be confirmed as guests on the show. More names will be added in the near future.
ECHOES has no scheduled release date but it is anticipated for the end of 2019.

]]>When you catch footage of early Led Zeppelin shows and The Who smashing up their guitars, it’s not hard to feel like rock ‘n’ roll has become tamer over the years. Still, the 90s bought us sensational bands like Primal Scream and Pixies, who proved that rock was not dead, but had changed its face.
Now though, Gillespie reckons that rock truly is dying out for good. Speaking to The Daily Telegraph, he shared his feeling that rap is the new language.
“Rock is like Latin, it’s a dying language, it’s old, it’s finished, and it really has nothing more to say,” Gillespie said. “Guys in rock bands dress like they’ve come to fix your electrics.”
For the Primal Scream frontman, the art of rock ‘n’ roll has been replaced with rap, which he sees a powerful art form.
He explained: “It’s like they’re talking an occult language, and that’s how it should be. It’s got irony, intelligence, inventiveness, sex, and danger.”
He added: “It’s very solipsistic, so inward-looking, it’s all me, me, me. Rock is dead.”
Of course, this does not mean that Gillespie has given up on rock. It’s a part of who he is and a new generation of fans have fallen in love with Primal Scream.
“It’s a paradox, I know, he says. “I love rock ‘n’ roll, it’s a great democratic art form, and I’m glad there are still kids playing it. I’m a rocker ’til I die.”
