Kele Okereke Pt. 2: The People I Remember…

Curious Creatures

‘The people I remember…’
Mutual respect, the Bloc Party had
Kele and collaborators, what’s good and what’s bad
Together on tour, but then things change
Russell ‘n Kele retain musical respect
Musical Respect is a necessary thing
Banshees Guitarists, All the Young Johns
Spizz oil and the Banshees, It’s a Family Affair
Kele and James Murphy and their traveling bands
Having kids and Touring Keep us Peter Pan style.

Chilli Pepper pals, Prodigal Sons
‘In the desert you can remember your name’
‘Life’s What You Make It’
The Cure take MTV - Budgie signs autographs ‘Down the Pub.

‘The Great Covid Reset’
A Non-Touring fantasy - A new way of life?
Touring and sleeping go hand in hand!
Kele, wants the father-child relationship
Lol had none with his father
So, he turned it around for his own son
Budgie’s dad was always present
Kele’s dad was proud and healing
Budgie’s dad said, “Do whatever makes you happy.”
Lol’s mum gave him a love of art and literature

Lol’s mum said - “I like the new single by The Clash”
Fun times meeting US Campus kids – smelled like team spirit
ABC - The Look of Love - Money Makes the World go Round
Art for Art’s sake – Money for God’s sake
British Art space receding - young artists and crew get no Support
Feeling the Fallout of the covid years
Love to Kele’s family and toi-toi for the tour!
Life’s always a giggle with Budgie and Lol!
