Ep125: Disko Biscuit (BigO special episode!)

It's the first of our Lion City Rock x BigO 4-O episodes for the 40 Years Of Counter-Culture music festival. Happening on 12-13 April at The Blackbird, it's two days of music remembering and celebrating one of the cornerstones of Singapore's indie music scene of the 1990s: BigO Magazine.

Bands performing include The Mother, Typewriter, Obstacle Upsurge, Force Vomit, Great Spy Experiment, Plainsunset, Opposition Party, The Oddfellows, Rudra, The Pinholes, Astreal and our guests for this episode: Disko Biscuit!

One of Singapore's earliest shoegaze bands, Disko Biscuit, has been returning to the scene in recent years, and in this episode, they talk about their origins, their future and what BigO Magazine means to them.
