EP. 123 - The Blackout: 'Hope' | 10th Anniversary (Gavin Butler, James 'Bob' Davies & Jason Perry)

<p>Ambition Is Critical. On April 4th 2011, <strong>The Blackout</strong> released their crowd funded, critically acclaimed and emotionally cherished record, '<strong>Hope</strong>, that lead to arguably their most successful period as a band. As this weekend marks it's tenth year anniversary, we invited <strong>Sappenin' Podcast</strong> favourites, <strong>Gavin Butler</strong>, <strong>James 'Bob' Davies</strong> and producing royalty, <strong>Jason Perry</strong> (A, McFly, Kids In Glass Houses), to celebrate it's legacy, reminisce and uncover some ridiculous secrets from an important era to those involved, along with a fans (Morgan)&nbsp;prospective, for <strong>Episode 123</strong>. In this conversation, not only do all five of us give our own insights into Hope, but dive into the stories behind the songs, memories of getting it funded with their fans through Pledge Music, all the wacky rewards they offered, silly studio adventures, unexpected guest features, almost meeting George Michael, fan tattoos, all the amazing things 2011 brought the band, beautiful tour memories and a cheeky question about a possible reunion. We wanted to take a trip down memory lane and bring you something completely wholesome, in a new format. Come celebrate with us and have a laugh!
