Riverside TV Catch Up With Kyle Falconer

For a deep-dive into his career...

Kyle Falconer is the latest artist to take part in a live session for Riverside TV.

The platform aims to support Scottish talent from across the music spectrum, recently shooting sessions with the likes of Rhianne Downey and ILI.

The View’s Kyle Falconer is an old CLASH pal, from the days of No. 1 debut album ‘Hats Off To The Buskers’ onwards. Taking part in a session for Riverside TV, he opens up about his past, his current solo endeavours, and what might come next.

Recalling the The View’s meteoric rise – when the band were still teenagers, in fact – he recalls hair-rising on-the-road experiences with Primal Scream and Babyshambles.

Now sober and a family man, Kyle Falconer recently unveiled his second solo album, before assisting his partner Laura’s ambitious project to turn the LP into a musical.

Chatting about these topics – and more – to Riverside TV, Kyle Falconer also rips through a gutsy take on solo favourite ‘Stress Ball’. Of this song, he offers…

I was out in LA for a month, just after the birth of my second daughter, Winnie. I felt about leaving, but I was thinking ‘I’ll be your stress ball’ and that’s what the song is about, I wanted them to take their fears out on me

Tune in now.
