Episode 185: My Friend Luke Steele

  • Summary

  • Almost 20 years ago, Luke Steele emerged as one of the great modern eccentrics of Australian music. An ebullient personality (one was a spider, one was a bird), he started the decade as a scrappy underdog and ended it as one of the biggest pop stars in the world. Who else could get to that kind of A to B, from Jebediah to Jay-Z? With a new solo album looming, Luke spoke openly about his one-of-a-kind journey that took him from blues bars in Perth to the Hollywood Bowl and back again.

    Luke's debut solo album Listen to the Water is out May 13.

    With thanks to Mariam Dib and EMI Music Australia.

    Recorded by David James Young and Luke James Steele.
    Produced and edited by Paul McWhirter.
    Additional editing by David James Young.
