61: The Maccabees - Felix White on the story behind award-winning albums, electric live shows, and indie-cricket crossovers!

<div>This week on <strong>The Boys in the Band Podcast </strong>we talk to <strong>Felix White </strong>from <strong>The Maccabees </strong>about the band's four albums, electric live shows and why they bowed out on a high in 2017 with a series of stunning farewell shows at Alexandra Palace. <br> <br> Felix takes us through the story of how the band's sound evolved as they became more skilled musicians and honed their craft, relives remarkable stories from their tour bus, and explains the inspirations behind their most-loved songs and the special chemistry they had as a group. <br>  <br> He also discusses his life after the band, including his record company, his new book, and his enduring love of cricket. And reveals other indie stars who love the sport too! <br> <br> </div> <div> <strong>The Maccabees</strong> <strong>fan?
