radio 1 - Muse's muscle museum (November 1999)

Muse's muscle museum Muse are doing very well at the moment and they've just come back from a European tour. Matthew, Dominic and Chris from the band are continuing to promote their new single, 'Muscle Museum', by performing a home town gig tonight in that well known rock mecca, Teignmouth in Devon. "It's in a place called the Lemon Grove - it's like the university type venue. A couple of local bands are supporting us, but there's a lot of people who're not too happy about it all", say the lads. "There's a picture of the local mayor on the front page of the paper that covers the area, the few towns, and the mayor's got our CD and he's putting it in the bin because he heard us saying that Teignmouth was full of drug takers in some interview somewhere. So that gives you an idea of what the town's like", they explain. "That's not what the town is like but the comment was, out of the friends that we have, most people have either moved away or the people who have managed to stay there and make a good living are drug dealers!"
