In this episode, we're joined by Audrey Tate, the incredibly talented drummer of the iconic band Franz Ferdinand. Recorded during their tour, Audrey shares fascinating stories from the road, including their recent high-energy performance at Glastonbury Festival.

Audrey dives into the physical demands of drumming, discussing her pre-gig warm-up routines and her recent battle with "golfer's elbow," offering valuable advice for other musicians on how to stay healthy on tour. She also talks about the incredible surprise of having Peter Capaldi join them on stage for their hit song, "Take Me Out," and the story behind how that came to be.

We also get into the nitty-gritty of her drumming style and influences. Audrey explains how she balances honouring the band's 20-year history while bringing her unique flair to the drums on their new album, The Human Fear. She opens up about her hip-hop drumming background and praises some of her biggest influences, including Questlove and Stanton Moore, giving a special shout-out to the legendary Funk Brothers.
