Hot Press Chatroom @ Electric Picnic: Ride

With Ride having finally taken up one of the many offers to reform, the shoe gazers were firmly back in the saddle at Electric Picnic, with two of their number hopping on the Hot Press Chatroom couch for a chinwag with Stuart Clark.
Singer and guitarist Mark Gardener and bassist Steve Queralt pointed out that they feel they're playing better than ever, not least because the technology finally allows them to hear what their bandmates are playing onstage.
Also on the agenda? Those crazy Creation days and why Alan McGee was such an adept music mogul precisely because he gave the bands the best drugs.
