Following their breakup, Friday embarked on a successful solo career, moving away from the abrasive punk sound toward a more sophisticated blend of cabaret, jazz, and art-rock influences.

Glen Matlock on Malcolm McLaren, the manager of the S*x Pistols.

Legendary British musician, songwriter, and bassist, Glen Matlock, is best known as one of the founding members of the iconic punk rock band, the S*x Pistols. A pivotal figure in the rise of the punk movement in the 1970s, Matlock played a crucial role in crafting the band’s distinctive sound, co-writing many of their most famous songs, including „Anarchy in the UK“ and „God Save the Queen.“ His melodic basslines and songwriting sensibilities brought a unique musicality to the band, balancing the raw, anarchic energy of punk with a more structured, rock-inspired approach.⁠

After leaving the S*x Pistols in 1977, Matlock went on to have a diverse and successful career, performing with various influential acts such as Rich Kids, Iggy Pop, and The Faces. His ability to seamlessly move between punk, rock, and more experimental sounds has solidified his reputation as one of the most versatile and respected figures in British rock. Throughout the years, Matlock has remained active in the music scene, continuing to release solo work and collaborate with artists across genres, while his contributions to punk and rock music continue to influence generations of musicians.⁠

In 2023 his album ‘Consequences Coming’ was received to wide-spread critical acclaim. Glen is currently the bass player for Blondie & will be supporting Alice Cooper this Autumn.⁠

He’s also touring the UK in November with his band, Chris Musto, Jim Lowe and Neil X. More info & tickets via: www.GlenMatlock.co.uk

New on the podcast - Francesco Mellina , early manager of the band Dead or Alive, and a renowned photographer who is best known for capturing the vibrant music and cultural scene in Liverpool during the late 1970s and early 1980s. ⁠ Here he talks about when Pete Burns asked him to manage him.

⁠All the interviews at;
www.popthehistorymakers.com

Mellina has a new book and exhibition - Total Stranger, Unseen photographs of Pete Burns and Dead or Alive between 1978 and 1983. Known for his androgynous appearance and bold fashion choices, Pete Burns, became a prominent figure in the music scene with their worldwide hit ‘You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)’ blending elements of new wave, dance-pop, and goth culture.⁠
Originally from southern Italy, Mellina moved to the UK and quickly immersed himself in the burgeoning punk and post-punk music movements. His work, particularly from this era, provides an intimate and authentic portrayal of iconic musicians, including The Clash, The Ramones, and Siouxsie and the Banshees, as well as everyday youth culture. Mellina’s photography stands out for its raw, candid style, often blurring the lines between subject and spectator, offering a unique glimpse into the underground scene that shaped a generation. His images have since become important historical records of a transformative period in British music and culture.⁠

The book si available from Francesco Mellina’s website.⁠

The exhibition Total Stranger is on between 21 September 2024 – 19 January 2025, Wednesday–Sunday, 10am–4pm at Bridge Cottage, in Port Sunlight, Wirral.

Here she talks about her audition which eventually led to a string of hits in the 90s including the incredible U2 cover 'I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking for'. By the way, next week the furniture arrives.
