In episode 123, we welcome back Alex Boucher MBE and yes, since his last appearance on the podcast, he’s only gone and picked up an MBE!

Last time Alex joined us, we talked about his book Three And A Half Minutes Of Fame, which explored his brushes with fame in various guises throughout the 90s music scene. This time, he’s taking things a step further by turning the story into a documentary and he needs your help to make it happen. You can support the project via the crowdfunding link below!

In this episode, we dive into the aims of the documentary, comparing what it’s like to be in a band trying to make it in the 2020s versus the 90s, and exploring the challenges, changes, and familiar pitfalls that musicians still have to navigate today.

Welcome to The Stupid And Contagious podcast, a podcast focused on bringing you interviews with the bands that defined a generation!

That generation grew up in the 90s with the Grebo bands (Senseless Things, PWEI, Neds Atomic Dustbin, Mega City Four, The Wonderstuff and many more) on the UK side of the pond and quickly joined by the grunge bands (Nirvana, Mudhoney, Alice In Chains, Soundgarden and many more) on the US side of the pond.

We are not limiting ourselves to these genres though, we will chart the guitar bands from all genres throughout the decade that was the 1990s.

If you are into 1990s guitar music or just a music lover in general then this is the podcast for you!
