101 Part Time Jobs with Giles Bidder

Kevin has a phenomenal ability to conjure up a beautiful moment from almost nowhere. Coming from DIY scenes in New York, he tells us about how he didn't really make any money in ten years playing music, before giving to charity when he did; his love of running and playing tennis; how the current wave of insanely talented indie bands like Wednesday, Geese and MJ Lenderman saw him live when they were teenagers; and the pangs of loneliness on tour. His excellent new album Little Wide Open is out 15 May.
