I Formed A Band

I Formed A Band is a podcast that talks to people who formed bands about the part before they got famous: why did they do it, what did it take to get there, and what was life like when they were forming a band?

It’s hosted by Eddie Argos, who formed a band called Art Brut and sings a song called Formed A Band; and Joe Sparrow, who did not form a band, but probably should have done.

There’s a huge, secret story behind every successful band: a heady mix of ambition, desperation, perseverance, daydreams, sleeping on sofas, surviving hangovers in the back of a Transit van, and dumb luck. That's what this podcast is about. 

(And it's also about compiling The Argos Catalogue: a comprehensive  collection of Eddie's various stories of meeting members of the Wu-Tang Clan in a lift, or singing Half Man Half Biscuit songs with Liam Gallagher, etc)

We love hearing from you – if you've got a question for Eddie, send us an email to eddieandjoe@iformedaband.com
