‘Too Much’ Co-Creator Luis Felber and Star Will Sharpe on the Show’s Original Music, Crafting Felix’s ‘Echo and the Bunnymen Vibe’ and Why Performing Live Was ‘Quite Scary’

'Too Much' co-creator Luis Felber and star Will Sharpe break down the show's original songs and inspiration behind Felix's onstage persona.

When it came time to decide where Jess and Felix’s meet-cute should take place, Felber couldn’t help but suggest a spot that’s part of his “London musician DNA”: The Ivy House in Peckham. Sporting smudged eyeliner, cherry-red lipstick and a matching guitar, Felix plays a moody, stripped-back version of Attawalpa’s “Always the Girls” (from the band’s new album “Experience”), accompanied by piano and violin. To craft the onstage persona of Sharpe’s Felix, Felber says he was inspired by Elliott Smith during his “XO” era in 1998 and Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain, especially for that first performance at The Ivy House.
