Portishead Shares Pre-Gig Procedures

Adrian Utley (founding member & multi instrumentalist) tells Billboard: *"We've been immensely looking forward to touring. But we're divided about it. Beth Gibbons is really nervous about playing live, and Geoff absolutely hates playing live and I love playing live. We don't really do any ritual before a gig. It's very unspectacular. Beth does a warm-up with her tape. A few gins are drunk, and there's some strolling around nervously behind the stage. And that's it. We go on."* Visit Portishead at their official site.
