#160 / 90s Guitar Bands - Chapterhouse

In episode160 we’re diving headfirst into the hazy, effects drenched world of shoegaze with Stephen Patman from Chapterhouse.

Stephen takes us right back to the band’s beginnings, their early influences and shows with Spacemen 3, before finding themselves at the heart of the emerging shoegaze scene alongside the likes of Slowdive and Lush.

We get into the making of their classic debut album Whirlpool, the technology and effects pedals that helped shape that unmistakable Chapterhouse sound, and how the band pushed things in a more dance-influenced direction with Blood Music. There’s also the story of playing Reading Festival in 1991, sandwiched between Nirvana and Dinosaur Jr., the band's eventual breakup, reunion and their return to the stage for Whirlpool's 35th anniversary.

Effects pedals, walls of guitars, shoegaze history and the story of Chapterhouse, enjoy!

Welcome to The Stupid And Contagious podcast, a podcast focused on bringing you interviews with the bands that defined a generation!

That generation grew up in the 90s with the Grebo bands (Senseless Things, PWEI, Neds Atomic Dustbin, Mega City Four, The Wonderstuff and many more) on the UK side of the pond and quickly joined by the grunge bands (Nirvana, Mudhoney, Alice In Chains, Soundgarden and many more) on the US side of the pond.

We are not limiting ourselves to these genres though, we will chart the guitar bands from all genres throughout the decade that was the 1990s.

If you are into 1990s guitar music or just a music lover in general then this is the podcast for you!
