My fav’ item of clothing is probably a leather coat I bought in London back in 2018. I’d sling my MacBook out of the window before losing any of my jackets. A lesson that retail therapy doesn’t work! That said, I do love having things that you can’t just pull off the rail in a shop. I treated myself to so many long awaited things this year and I still feel very unfulfilled. Yeah I’m way too materialistic to be honest… it’s not a great trait. What’s your favourite item of clothing, piece of technology, and if you had to sacrifice your MacBook or your entire clothing rail of coats, what are you losing? You’re a massive tech-head but also a bit of a materialistic in that you have a passion for limited edition, rare clothing. We were there literally the day before the first lockdown was announced. My mate Jacky DJs Key Club in Leeds, and if its proper dead he just lets us put *pretty much* whatever we want on. Packed clubs do my head in so it’s kinda a win-win if it’s dead and bangers are on. I’d always rather be in a club with good music. Good times! I really enjoyed that club on its best nights. Would you rather spend a night in a lively club with shit music, or it be virtually empty with great tunes? I actually met you at an Indie Thursdays at Warehouse when we were virtually the only ones there. I missed Linkin Park and I never got the chance to see them after that. It rained super hard, and I was so cold and uncomfortable that I rang my dad to come and get me and take me home. It was way before we were known for doing festival videos and stuff so it was a very tame experience for an at-the-time pretty introverted lad. Worst experience has got to be at Download 2011. Super humbling – I’m very grateful for these experiences. Never seen it that busy in 11 years of attendance. Then we went back up to Leeds to DJ their Piccadilly and I swear there must have been 10,000 people there. Probably the most rock & roll experience I’ll ever have. Festival Republic had us down at Reading for the day and it just felt so exciting, driving down there in our stickered-up van getting waves and cheers as we drove in. My best festival experience was Reading & Leeds 2019. What is the best festival experience you’ve been to, and what’s the worst? I think our channel description of ‘real life inbetweeners’ kinda hits the nail on the head! I’m only happy with that comparison when I’m the one making it, mind. We’re just a bunch of nerds who like to film concerts, festivals and holidays. I sat down with the man responsible for making me laugh out loud for years:įor our readers that don’t know much about you, how would you describe yourself and TPD TV? In a nutshell, Rob Kellas’ TPD TV is essentially what would happen if you attached a go-pro to one of your mates whenever you do stupid shit together: and for that, it’s rather brilliant… His ‘Best Camp’ series sees Rob take his vlog to music festivals in the UK and abroad regarded as the adorned epitome of TPD TV’s shenanigans by viewers, some ‘Best Camp’ vids have hit north of 100,000 views. Over the years, Rob has captured the highs and lows of his every day, never failing to enthral viewers with his witty – and rather hilarious – exploits with his friends. Rob has been documenting his life on YouTube from when he was at college, through his tenure at university up until now, where he lives in what can only be deemed as a penthouse apartment in Leeds city centre with fellow TPD founder Danny White. Rob Kellas, director and CEO of TPD TV (acronym unknown, as Rob likes it) has become somewhat of a cult figure for a committed community of fans that has grown to love the Leeds-local icon and his fellow enigmatic, individually-relatable band of friends. However, as far as the Leeds music scene goes, Rob Kellas is a maverick in his own light, and is typically found at the front of a crowd, in the mosh pit, or on some bloke’s shoulders, rather than on the stage itself. With Soundwave’s usual spotlight shining on up-and-coming bands to platform great, under-the-radar music, this feature may come as somewhat unusual.
