Drenge “not totally overjoyed” with having Labour MP Tom Watson as a fan

Sheffield duo Drenge have shared their thoughts on being name-dropped recently in MP Tom Watson‘s open resignation letter to Labour leader Ed Miliband.

Watson’s open letter to Ed Miliband was written last week, where he signed off with the topic of Glastonbury and a Drenge shout-out. -”And if you want to see an awesome band,” the now infamous letter read. “I recommend Drenge.”

“I’m not totally overjoyed that it happened but at the same time I don’t really care,” the band’s drummer Rory told BBC Newsbeat.

“I’m glad he’s a fan and that other people have discovered us through it. My mum’s a fan but when she says she is a fan to her mate there’s no media storm over that.”

Rory added: “We’ve kind of been shown to a load of people who don’t really care which is fine. I’d rather that we hadn’t and people had discovered us in their own way rather than through a news story.”
