“What’s going to they do subsequent?” is one thing I discover myself asking each Sunday morning for Toyah & Robert’s Sunday Lunch collection. At this time’s cowl opens with a graphic that warns we might see the duo like we have by no means seen them earlier than.

Certainly, for his or her cowl of the Prodigy basic “Firestarter,” all people is dressed as if that they had simply come from a Mad Max shoot. As all the time, the duvet is a enjoyable approach to distract your self for a couple of minutes.

Toyah and Robert had been interviewed by RollingStone, and supplied some fascinating perception into their creation of this weekly video collection. Requested why they began the collection, Wilcox responded “This complete factor about being in lockdown was individuals had been stopping shifting, and our technology should transfer.”

Fripp added “Mine is a barely extra nuanced view of this. My spouse has been insistent. Performers have a accountability to carry out and at this specific time to maintain individuals’s spirits up. It is a very English cultural custom. Primarily, when issues are actually dangerous in England, what you do is start laughing and do foolish issues. A superb reference level is the Ministry of Foolish Walks on Monty Python. Now it’s, “Robert places on a tutu and dances to Swan Lake on the river’s edge along with his spouse.” So I’ve adopted my spouse’s sense and imaginative and prescient of these items.”

Toyah revealed she presents Robert a listing of songs and he picks one he feels he can pull off. Fripp says “I take a look at the difficult technical features. Can I play it on guitar? Is one guitar adequate to assist my spouse? Can I honor the music? If it’s an orchestral ballad, it’s not likely going to be a go.”

Fripp added “I imply, they’re all totally beautiful issues. I’m blown away by the unique guitarists on these tracks. Phenomenal growth and enjoying primarily because the late Seventies and early Eighties, Van Halen onwards. Steve Vai, Satriani, the Metallica boys … The originators of the riffs are phenomenal gamers. I’m going again, hearken to the unique variations on file, see reside performances, take a look at totally different interpretations and guitar covers on YouTube. Then I’ve to honor the spirit of the music whereas making it my very own.”

Willcox informed NME beforehand that she began the collection to occupy Fripp, who was getting actually bummed out about not having the ability to tour. “Right here I’m on this home with this 74-year-old husband who I actually don’t need to reside with out,” she mentioned. “He was withdrawing, so I assumed: ‘I’m going to show him to bop.’ And it grew to become a problem. I do the lighting, the filming, the conceptual aspect and the persuading Robert to participate.”
