Just heard a rumour that Supergrass have split up. That’s really sad. I spent a really nice day with the band at their local, in Oxford a few years back, with Loaded snapper Ian “Picture Bat” Dewsbury. Interestingly, his photograph of the band with a suitcase is being used right now on the net as a ‘goodbye’ photograph, like here on the Fly.
It was easily one of my favourite interviews, and I nearly bought Gaz’s vintage motor from him. I was sorely tempted by it, but the main problem was a) I couldn’t afford it and b) I had been drinking for two days and couldn’t drive it back to London.
The feature we were doing was ‘my suitcase of memories’ for Loaded (below), and they told some cracking stories, my favourite being the time they took acid on children’s television. I really hope this is just a rumour, because I’ve seen the band live a few times and would like to again.
