In this interview, singer-songwriter Luke Haines, founder of British indie bands The Auteurs and Black Box Recorder, discusses the early days of Britpop and touring with Suede. He compares audience reactions at early gigs with what he witnessed himself as a young rock fan seeing The Smiths play live early in their career. The mention is brief but enthusiastic; he refers to The Smiths as a non-manufactured group who were "a really good band who were fantastic live; blowing the kids' minds..."
If you're a fan, the whole interview is interesting. The Smiths bit is at 13:50 - 14:45.
