“Lived Through That” is the companion podcast to my book where I look at influential musicians of the 80s and 90s and where they are today. On this podcast, we’ll delve deeper into a single pivotal moment in the lives of some of the artists I feature in that book, as well as other artists I love and admire. The stories they tell are open, honest, and inspiring.
This week, we’re shifting gears a bit with our guest Jane Savidge. Yes, there was a time when she was in a band called Kill Devil Hills, but ultimately she started a PR company called Savage & Best which promoted a slew of the biggest British bands of the 90s, including Suede, Pulp, Elastica, and so many others. There’s even a legend that Jane coined the phrase “Britpop.” Her first book, Lunch With The Wild Frontiers: A History Of Britpop And Excess in 13 and a 1/2 Chapters, was a fantastic read. Her second book, Here They Come With Their Make Up On: Suede, Coming Up And More Adventures Beyond The Wild Frontiers, was released in 2022 and her third book on Pulp’s “This is Hardcore” will be released March 7th. It’s part of the brilliant 33 1/3 series from Bloomsbury Press.  
You can order hernew book, "Pulp's This Is Hardcore" here.
