Mark Stewart recently announced the release of his new album "The Politics Of Envy", which is released on Future Music on 26th March, and includes collaborations with the likes of Primal Scream and Factory Floor. We caught up with the man himself to talk...

MS: Doing a piece for Andy Warhol's interview.

MS: The Eisteddford in Wales hopfully.
G&T: Will you be playing all new material or a mixture of your back catalogue at the shows ahead?

G&T: What's your favourite song to perform live?
MS: Starfuckers.
