"They had heard a record I made with a Los Angeles recording artist
named Beck called Midnite Vultures, and they wanted to get my input
on a few tracks," explains Tony. "I was in Paris at the time
finishing up the mixing on the Air record, so I was very close to
London. So I flew over and we hit it off right away. After some
conversation, however, Brett and I realized we had originally met
several years ago in the bathroom of Paisley Park in Minneapolis.
We were just chilling by the urinal and bonding on our mutual love
of Bran Eno, Michael Jackson and Duran Duran's Seven and the Ragged
Tiger album. It's a wonder it took this long for us to actually come
together."
Both Tony and new band member Alex Lee will join Brett on stage at
the Royal Festival Hall this Sunday (24th June) when he performs at
the Robert Wyatt Tribute evening.
"We heard Robert Wyatt is homeless and living in a shopping cart
behind Safeway, so we wanted to make one of his songs to make him
some money and give him a second chance," says Tony. "But then we
heard that's a different Robert Wyatt. But by then we already liked
the song we were working on so everything's good now."
