Sleaford Mods have spoken about the time they met Liam Gallagher, recalling how the run-in felt like “being in a bar in the early noughties”.The Nottingham duo and the former Oasis frontman both opened for Iggy Pop at Release Athens Festival in Greece last summer.“He and [the Mods’] Andrew [Fearn] got on like a house on fire!” vocalist Jason Williamson remembered in an interview with MOJO. “You just wouldn’t think they would, but they were like long-lost cousins.“[Gallagher] was going to Andrew, ‘I want to break out of this and do something different musically’.

I told Andrew that he was probably asking him for some beats.”Williamson continued: “They were off their heads. It was like being in a bar in the early noughties.

A few of his band were fans of us and we were all stood there watching Iggy Pop, then Liam walks in, [a] tiny man in a big hat.“I’m a bit nervous.
