14: Vincent Vincent and the Villains - Mark Ogus on becoming indie DJ favourites, a Rumble with Charlie Waller, Top of the Pops disillusionment, and a new career with Monty's Deli
We bring you a midweek special, which ties in nicely with Saturday's The Rumbles Strips episode. Mark Ogus was lead singer and guitarist in Vincent Vincent and the Villains, which also featured Charlie Waller before he opted to focus on the Rumbles. Mark tells The Boys in the Band Podcast about the frustration of Charlie's departure - and why he regrets writing Johnny Two Bands about his friend's exit from Vincent Vincent and the Villains. He also reflects on the band's critically-acclaimed rise, their album Gospel Bombs, and how an appearance on Top of the Pops wasn't all he dreamt it would be. Plus Mark chats about his new venture - Monty's Deli (check them out at Montys-Deli.com) and new music he's working on... ( https://ogus.bandcamp.com/) Vincent Vincent and the Villains fan?
