60 Minutes or less - Episode 44 - Kavus Torabi (Cardiacs, Gong, The Utopia Strong)

Welcome to ’60 Minutes or less’ - the podcast from Birthday Cake For Breakfast - where for episode 44, we welcome surely the busiest artist knocking about today, Kavus Torabi!

No slouch on the performance front, Torabi has many, many credits to his name, dividing his time between solo work and mind-altering outfits like Gong, Cardiacs and The Utopia Strong (featuring snooker leg-end and previous podcast guest, Steve Davis)!

Joining your favourite band must be a trip and for Torabi, it’s a trip he’s been on for over two decades, having joined Cardiacs as guitar wizard in the early 2000s (when yours truly was still in secondary school - woof!)

In September 2025, Cardiacs release ‘LSD’, a seventeen track double-LP that’s some 18 years in the making. With all music written by the late Tim Smith, the new record was pieced together lovingly in his absence by an assorted cast of characters from the Cardiacs universe, with Torabi joined by the likes of Mike Vennart, Rose-Ellen Kemp and Tim’s brother, Jim Smith.

We caught up with Torabi over Zoom a month ahead of release to talk all things Cardiacs. Naturally, he was awaiting my arrival on screen with guitar in hand.
