Bad Vibes

First, you fail. After four years of gigs no one attends, songs no one hears, perfect haircuts no one sees ...London in the late eighties - where the pubs still close in the afternoon and dance music rules - is no place for an avant-garde songwriter like Luke Haines to be. Luke Haines, after all, has never been to a rave. One near-death experience later and there's nothing left to lose. With just a ruined piano and a couple of cardboard boxes, you record a demo in your flat, form a new band and give it a pretentious name. Forget Blur/Oasis and Cool Britannia, none of that actually happened. This is the real story of English Rock in the nineties.

Live Forever

'Live Forever' (the film) is a brilliant & hilarious insight into 90s Brit-pop. Across the globe, music, art, fashion & film became cool if it was British. Home-grown talent from the likes of Liam Gallagher, Damon Albarn & Jarvis Cocker flourished. 'Live Forever' charts the sounds that defined these times. The film is a docu-film that gives outrageous banter from the Gallagher brothers, 3D from Massive Attack, Jarvis, Damon, footage from Rolling Stones at Spike Island & takes us up to the manufactured bands of today. 39 tracks. Virgin. 2003.
