expect plenty of exciting club activity around the release
of dvd. here's what's happening at our favourite london
nightspot, trash . . .
Monday 19th November: "LOST IN TV" SUEDE EXCLUSIVE DVD Party
Lost In TV is a visual history of one of the UK’s most
important and influential bands. Suede kick-started the
renaissance in British guitar groups, weathered the inevitable
fall-out, survived various personnel changes and inspired a
generation of starry-eyed dreamers and bedsit musicians –
here was a band worth believing in. They were the first
“alternative” act to be awarded the Mercury Music Prize,
won plaudits from artists ranging from David Bowie to Derek
Jarman, and ten years on remain one of the few British bands
with truly international appeal – their last album spawning
number one hits from Peru to Singapore.
At its simplest the DVD is a veritable visual greatest hits
with all seventeen of their UK singles – including 8 top tens
smashes – plus additional rarities from around the world and
exclusive footage never seen anywhere before. What’s more,
the DVD also includes a brand new Suede song – Simon – the
title theme from the forthcoming CS Leigh film, Far From China.
One of the strongest features of this release is that, far from
simply being a hastily thrown together collection of random
videos, we are instead invited to an evening – literally
“on the couch” - with Suede commenting on, criticising and
joking about their old promo films. It's a rare chance to catch
the band at their most relaxed and informal as they talk candidly
about their ten years as reluctant Filmstars. It's the closest
you'll get to a “Suede Big Brother” fly-on-the-wall docudrama.
It's hugely entertaining – and often hilarious. And as well as
the standard videos there are alternate takes like the specially
filmed version of The Drowners for the U.S., along with exclusive
footage compiled by drummer Simon Gilbert from the band's personal
archives. The DVD contains more than FOUR HOURS worth of material
when the special features are taken into account – and all in
glorious 5.1 surround sound. Suede have been described as “the
most audacious, androgynous, mysterious, sexy, ironic, absurd,
perverse, glamorous, hilarious, honest, cocky, melodramatic,
mesmerising band you're ever likely to fall in love with.”
Lost In TV shows you why.
We will be showing the run of videos with the bands commentary
from 8:30pm in AKA. There will be Suede related things to be won
in Trash afterwards. check out www.suede.net <http://www.suede.net>
AKA Film Club, 8pm-10pm, FREE
