British stoner rock band Orange Goblin are having the busiest year of their career so far, and having been around since 1995, they’re finally able to present their music on stages across North America on a comprehensive level. They’re currently on a headline tour here with support acts Holy Grail and Lazer/Wulf, and put on a stellar performance at the Satellite last Saturday October 5th. Before the gig, I had the pleasure of talking to singer Ben Ward about the band’s active touring run, the latest album releases, club gigs versus European festivals, the UK scene, and lots more. Listen to the 15-minute chat below, and if you’re into heavy blues-based stoner rock and haven’t checked out Orange Goblin yet, they’ll certainly be right up your alley.
