Brix Smith Start

Mark Radcliffe and Stuart Maconie: pruning excellent music for you with their bespoke 6Music garden clippers.

Mark Radcliffe and Stuart Maconie: pruning excellent music for you with their bespoke 6Music garden clippers. Their guest today is singer, guitarist, writer and TV presenter Brix Smith Start. She was born in LA as Laura Elisse Salenger, but changed her name to Brix after the 1980 Clash song, The Guns of Brixton. She also married The Fall's Mark E Smith and joined that band in 1983. She was also in Courtney Love's band Hole for a day (!), toured with The Bangles, and now runs a fashion boutique with her husband Philip Smart. She's here to talk about her new band, Brix and the Extricated, which was formed in Manchester in 2014 (four of the five members were one-time members of The Fall) and their forthcoming tour.

Plus there's those hardy perennial show features The Chain - YOU get to suggest the next track, connected any way you like to the one before it - and Tea Time Theme Time, the end-of-show tracks linked to one another BUT HOW? It's up to you to get in touch and guess the connection. And a daily gathering of Music News to pop into your audio vases, and a smattering of all the latest records gathered by Mark and Stuart too.
