First up tonight I was joined by Dropkixx School of Wrestling’s Mr Vincredible and Austin Hyde. Dropkixx has become one of the area’s biggest wrestling organisations, hosting training sessions locally and events across Essex, London and Kent. Both Austin and Mr Vincredible will be seen in action over the coming weeks at Dropkixx shows, which includes Brentwood Theatre on April 2nd – check www.dropkixx.com for the full line up! Click above to listen back to the interview where the pair chat about who else is on the Dropkixx roster, what Mr Vincredible’s superhero abilities are, and why I got a little worried for the studio furniture…
Next up it was the long-awaited return of Silent Natives (l-r Steve, Chris, Rich). The trio, previously known as Lamplight, were last guests on the show way back in August 2007 under their old moniker – and with Curveballs’ upcoming 10th anniversary, it was the perfect time to have them back! Their new EP Loosen Your Grip is released on March 31st, and we got a sneak preview of what to expect tonight with a live session. Click above to find out what inspired the name change and what else they’ve been up to over the last decade (Rich’s unusual job being a highlight)… Find them at www.silentnatives.com and see them playing live in the studio!
