Episode 53: Sam Knee ('A Scene In Between' book and instagram feed)

This week’s episode is a transatlantic conversation with Sam Knee, UK based creator of the always impressive and seemingly endless ‘A Scene In Between’ instagram feed and author/compiler of the book by the same name which is available now in a new revised edition. Sam and I talk about his life in music and fashion beginning with his immersion in the UK’s early 80’s Mod Revival through his years in the Indie guitar pop/garage rock scene documented in the ‘A Scene In Between’ book, into his time as a member of the band Marzipan living in San Francisco in the early 90’s. From there we explore the philosophy and motivations behind his work today as a documentarian of the underground scenes that he was a part of and the ones that preceded and informed them. It was a pleasure speaking with Sam. If you don’t already follow ‘A Scene In Between’ you owe it to yourself to do so. I can’t recommend his book highly enough, it’s a remarkable survey of a brief but highly influential moment in UK music history. Thanks for listening!
