Comedian Simon Day joins Shaun

Shaun welcomes the brilliant comedian Simon Day to the show to chat about his up coming tour and looks ahead to Alt-J playing later this morning for 6 Music Live. alt-J will be performing tracks from their Mercury nominated third album 'Relaxer' as well as songs from their previous two albums.

They first came to the attention of 6 Music when they recorded an early session for Steve Lamacq back in July 2011. Their debut album 'An Awesome Wave' was named 6 Music's Album of the Year in 2012, winning the Mercury Prize in the same year.

Follow-up This is All Yours topped the charts and earned them a Grammy nomination. They've also sold-out Madison Square Garden, headlined the Latitude festival, been nominated for three Brit Awards, and headlined the Other Stage during this year's Glastonbury. Three years of world touring that have forged a live reputation as fierce as the trio are tall (that is, very).

Of their performance for 6 Music Live, the band say "We are honoured to be part of this incredible series of performances. 6 Music has always been our spiritual home, and getting to spend a day at Maida Vale is something we would never turn down."

Shaun has a live track from yesterday's 6 Music Live gig from Mogwai and Matt Everitt is here with the latest Music News.
