One of the defining bands of the shoegaze wave that washed over the indie-rock world in the 1990s, Lush mesmerised with their otherworldly vocals set against a swirling wall of sound.
Phil King: ‘By the time I joined Lush at the end of 1991, they had already played around 190 shows in their four year career – and would go onto play another 320 or so before drummer Chris Acland’s tragic and untimely death in October 1996. I would often take my trusty Sankyo Super 8 camera on tour with me – and since film was costly would try and make sure to shoot footage sparingly. Hopefully this film captures the excitement (and boredom) of being on tour – and, sadly in retrospect, I hope that it serves as a fitting memorial to a much missed by us all Chris.’
The film will be followed by a Q&A with Phil King and Emma Anderson from Lush, and a signing session – so bring your Lush records with you!
