On the Huh
A cheeky little podcast aimed at shining a light on the Norwich Indie and alternative music scene.
We'll be talking to bands, promotors, fans and all sorts of interesting people about what is happening in the flourishing Norwich Scene (and how it happens)

To kick off season 5 - I got to spend some time with Robin and Dan from spangly, jingly indie popsters The Danphes. The band are from Norwich and draw inspiration from the C86 era of mixtapes and hazy summers. They write shimmering hook-soaked songs that balance the bright, chiming guitars with a slightly lovelorn, scuffed around the edges charm.
Rooted in the local scene and shaped by years of friendship, The Danphes make indie pop that feels immediate, heartfelt and quietly nostalgic - the kind of songs that sound like they have always existed.
We talked about the forming of the band, the approach to their songwriting and playing live as well as where the name came from and we discover Dan's hidden talent (n.b. I checked after the recording and he was spot on. )
So enjoy the chat and we'll be back soon with more
