Post categories:

ATL | 16:07 UK time, Thursday, 19 August 2010

,Ìýthe work of ATL's pal Ciaran Gribben, is a staple of the local scene and our playlists the last couple of years. Ahead of festival appearances at Belsonic and Electric Picnic (and a new single) Rigsy caught up with the man himself to talk armpits, Crimewatch and dodgy dancing...

12:40pm Joe says: All good boss hog!

12:40pm Rigsy says: here, i've always wondered should you be ciaran from or is Joe...like, a persona?

12:40pm Joe says: Its a bit of a persona.. sort of

12:40pm Rigsy says: i'm david from 'rigsy'. how is joe different from ciaran

12:41pm Joe says: I suppose Joe is a bit of a control freak...Ciaran is easy going and loves taking it handy

12:42pm Rigsy says: can i talk to ciaran please

12:42pm Joe says: you sure can

12:42pm Rigsy says: right so i'm going to stereophonics pretty much to see you so it better be good, okay? and yes, that is a threat

12:43pm Joe says: no worries. i will even have a shower that day and wear my best jeans to impress

12:43pm Rigsy says: lovely stuff. apart from nice jeans and pleasant smelling pits, what can we expect from the JE live experience these days? as in - how many costume changes etc

12:44pm Joe says: Its a lot loader and full on than its ever been. i will do a dance half way through just to catch the audience, got to keep them on their toes

12:44pm Rigsy says: what kind of a dance?

12:45pm Joe says: Dodgy dancing

12:45pm Rigsy says: you're playing EP too. if you could choose between playing wembley stadium with stereophonics, kasabian, oasis or main stage at EP to a much smaller crowd, but with supposedly cooler bands on the bill, what would you choose? 'suppposeldy' cooler now

12:47pm Joe says: Probably the smaller crowd at EP...although it is wembley?...Maybe i'd do wembly

12:47pm Rigsy says: wembley aye

12:47pm Joe says: does it have to be oasis?

12:47pm Rigsy says: yes mate, you can't change it

12:47pm Joe says: Ok then!

12:47pm Rigsy says: my question, my rules when you're interviewing me, you can take oasis off the bill

12:47pm Joe says: Ha ha! sounds cool

12:47pm Rigsy says: whats this about a video in the elk?! is that the place you pass on the way to derry?

12:48pm Joe says: halloween ball in the Elk...yes on the derry road.

12:49pm Joe says: yeah there is a story board..I arrive in a 1940's car with my vamps...

12:50pm Rigsy says: normal night so far then

12:50pm Joe says: then we rock the crowd and everyone starts getting bitten... and going mental and turning into mad zombies
