Like Britpop never happened, Suede (the best english guitar group of the nineties, FACT) returned to the stage with the “classic” Coming Up lineup of Brett Anderson, Richard Oakes, Mat Osman, Simon Gilbert and Neil Codling.
My hope is that they do a dozen fuckoff AMAZING shows and leave it at that. They don’t belong in the modern world, and words cannot describe the words with which they described a certain pervading decay of late youth blossoming and then dying with the onset of real life.
They played their first show in godknowshowlongwhen on Saturday, 20 March, at the 100 Club on Oxford Street, London. Yes, I am incredibly jealous of all those who were there.
The setlist (below) was very hit friendly.
Picnic By The Motorway, We Are The Pigs and Electricy probably would have replaced Everything Will Flow and She’s In Fashion and Filmstar, but who’s to grumble? What no Drowners???
