Hitchcock's Half Hour

Find out what happened when BBC Coventry & Warwickshire visited Warwickshire band Hitchcock in their studio...

With a perfect combination of catchy tracks and an enticing visual show, Hitchcock certainly deliver when they take to the stage.

Taking their name from watching an Alfred Hitchcock boxset, the electronica-duo ensure they excel themselves above the norm when performing. They deliver a show, not just a set, including visuals with a very theatrical vibe throughout the performance.

Lead vocalist Matt Droog’s stage persona is one to rival a West End star or a blockbuster villain. Keeping every aspect of his performance extravagant and donning himself with thick black eye make-up, he certainly gets your attention and keeps good hold of it, with two white-gloved hands.

BBC Coventry & Warwickshire's Hannah Tobin and I went where the magic happens - Hitchcock’s Vada recording studios near Stratford-upon-Avon - to have a chat with the band and take a tour around the studio. The duo also recorded an exclusive acoustic performance of the insanely catchy single Smack Boom, which sounded fantastic.

We also spoke to Matt about his career as a music producer. Working for many years in the industry and producing bands such as One Night Only, Boy Kill Boy and Coventry’s own The Enemy, he is rapidly building a very successful catalogue of music - as a producer and as Hitchcock’s front man.
