the two nicest guys in the music industry, the most original band and heaps of understatement, concert of third in berlin was absolutely amazing. never heard such a great live sound and great perfomance of loopbased songs(from the old albums)..life changing music
BETH PROBABLY DOESN'T LIKE THE MEDIA ALL THE SHIT THAT GOES ALONG WITH BEING A CELEB, BUT ONE THING I CAN SAY IS THAT SHE LOVES WHAT SHE DOES AND SHE LOVES HER FANS. I WENT TO SEE PORTISHEAD IN OCTOBER OF 2011 AND AFTER THE SHOW SHE GOT OFF OF THE STAGE AND WENT RIGHT INTO THE CROWD AND SHE LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT. WE JUST LOVED HER RIGHT BACK.
I've felt SO ALONE in how I think & regard music up until recently. I try'n talk this to my mates, & they just totally don't give a shit. I don't understand... To them, music is nothing. To me, it's the difference between life & death. My mother thinks it's childish; a symptom of youth & pointless hobbies. It gives me such a low opinion of myself. And that destroys your life; plunging you into solace until & IF you ever make money from it. Then people respect you. Its like greed governs thought.
Great to hear them talk about music as to me they along with Beth Gibbons are music. Totally agree with Adrian Utley on music being such a personal experience. I'd be a very different person without it.
I really expected Barrow and Utley to be the brooding, bitter, surly, troubled artist type. This interview stands against everything I've read about them.
Portishead, Beak,Tricky, Massive Attack (and Led Zeppelin) is everything i need.
Very unassuming to say that they are both absolute fucking geniuses.

yes, "Rebel Without A Pause" is pretty life-changing
Portishead absolute SMOKE The Chemical Brothers.
Incomparable
That's an odd comparison. Where on earth did that come from?

I take it Beth Gibbons doesn't like doing interviews?
Geoff is so hot.
My lord he looks just like Viggo Mortensen at first glance lol.
