Down With Boring #0133: Nell Mescal, Lexie Carroll & Scout
This week’s edition of our flagship podcast-slash-radio-show-slash-thingy Down With Boring comes to you live (well, recorded live) and direct (well, after a few days of editing) from last week’s bumper edition of Dork’s Night Out.
Taking place at London’s iconic 100 Club last Wednesday (8th May), we’re chatting to our future superstar headliner and Hype List 2024 cover queen Nell Mescal, the impossibly brilliant Lexie Carroll and the equally fantastic Scout. Three chats for the price of one, and it’s free anyway. Now that’s a deal.

Down With Boring #0132: Sea Girls
They’ve just come off a UK tour that saw them live streaming to more people on the Dork Instagram than could fit in the venue they were playing (and London’s KOKO is no tiny circuit venue, ‘FYI’). With their new album ‘Midnight Butterflies’ imminent, Dork indie faves Sea Girls are back in to Down With Boring this week.
Plus! We’ll be talking the new album from current cover star Lizzy McAlpine, checking out new music from Glass Animals, Charli XCX, Baby Queen and Lorde, and meeting brilliant new bands Soft Launch, The Itch and Good Neighbours.
