60 Minutes or less - Episode 43 - Matt Bigland (Dinosaur Pile-Up)

Welcome to ’60 Minutes or less’ - the podcast from Birthday Cake For Breakfast - where for episode 43, we welcome an artist who’s been a regular fixture on Birthday Cake For Breakfast since near enough day dot, Matt Bigland of Dinosaur Pile-Up!The new Dinosaur Pile-Up album ‘I’ve Felt Better’ has just landed in August 2025, with a UK tour not far behind. Business as usual you’d think? Not quite. Their first record in six years follows a rollercoaster ride of health issues for Bigland, who spent chunks of the intervening years in and out of hospital, suffering rapid weight loss, internal bleeding and at one point his throat almost collapsed in on itself. Fuck-ing-hell!Whilst Bigland remains on the recovery journey today, things are certainly looking up and health-wise, he’s in a much better place. He was certainly chipper in our interview when we caught up over Zoom at the start of August. We spoke of the new record, married life, the early days of Dinosaur Pile-Up, drinking in the music industry, performance anxiety and those major health issues.If you like the episode, let us know - follow us on your favourite streaming platform and follow Birthday Cake For Breakfast on all the socials.
