The Rhythm Method: "We definitely envisaged this bank holiday weekend as the setting for the song"

Joey tells us all about The Rhythm Method's new bank holiday banger

Summer is the perfect time to party so it’s handy that banger-riffic duo The Rhythm Method have dropped their latest track ‘Something For The Weekend’ just in time for the August bank holiday weekend. Joey and Rowan are masters at the art of the clever pop single so we thought we’d ask Joey to tell us all about the new single and their plans for this bank holiday Monday. Oh, and if you’re a Rhythm Method fan in the Camden area of London this holiday weekend you might just want to keep your Saturday night free if you fancy a dance. (hint, hint)

So, Joey tell us all about ‘Something For The Weekend’. It’s a proper turbo banger.

"I couldn’t agree more. It’s fantastic. It started life 6 years ago. Rowan was pursuing a solo career and he released a song called ‘Just A Little Taste’ that we have re-appropriated and put The Rhythm Method spin on it by getting me to ramble all over it.

There’s lots of clever references in The Rhythm Method’s songs. What’s been your favourite to drop?

"Yeah, they’ve become a bit of a trademark. Sometimes I wonder if a few of them might be too niche or a step to far but it’s just me and Rowan making each other laugh.

‘Something For The Weekend’ has arrived just in time for the bank holiday. How would The Rhythm Method spend their perfect bank holiday?

"This one would probably be up there. We’re spending it doing what we want to do. Whenever we write a song it’s not so much about the concept but we try and envisage a scene or a time of year. We definitely envisaged this bank holiday weekend as a setting for the song. We regard it as the best weekend of the year because you’ve got Notting Hill Carnival on Sunday and Monday, we’ve been going there with our friends for the last decade. It’s a staple of our year. It’s what New Year’s Eve should be."

What treats can we expect from The Rhythm Method for the year ahead and what are you cooking up?

"The last quarter of the year starts here for us. We’ve spent the summer playing festivals every weekend. It’s been a great experience. The performance side of things is second nature now. That gives us the opportunity to expand on that performance and dance about a bit more.
