Met Ronnie Biggs

Supergrass followed I Should Coco with 18 months of heavy touring, appearing at festivals such as Scotland’s T in the Park and the Glastonbury Festival . After Performing at Rio ‘s Hollywood Rock Festival in April 1996, Supergrass met the train robber Ronnie Biggs , and he apparently said to them, “I was frightened for my life when I heard there was a supergrass in the area.” A photograph of Ronnie Biggs and Gaz together was subsequently included in the music video for their 1996 single ” Going Out “. Recorded at Great Linford Manor the single peaked at number five in the UK chart, but was the last song produced by Sam Williams. Supergrass returned to Sawmills Studio to co-produce follow up album, In It for the Money (released April 1997), with John Cornfield. The album was a huge success and went platinum in the UK, but confused some fans expecting something similar to I Should Coco . The single, ” Richard III “, reached number two. Subsequent releases, ” Sun Hits the Sky ” and ” Late in the Day “, reached numbers 10 and 18 respectively.
