Senseless Things - Live at Shepherd's Bush Empire!

Formed in 1987, Senseless Things were in the vanguard of guitar music throughout the early '90s, being compared to such luminaries as The Replacements, Buzzcocks and The Who.

Known and loved for their relentless touring across the UK, Europe, the US and Japan, they released a storm of technicolour singles – “Too Much Kissing”, “Homophobic Asshole”, “Easy To Smile”, “Hold It Down” and more, until their sudden split in 1995. Whilst each member continued to perform in other projects such as Muse, Gorillaz, 3 Colours Red and Deadcuts, they wouldn’t play again together as a four-piece for another 22 years - until they reformed for one last concert in 2017, at London’s Shepherd's Bush Empire. While the audio from the night was recorded, the concert itself was never officially filmed.

However, much was captured on mobiles phones and handheld cameras, which has now been deftly and impressively sewn together to form a seamless film. The record of that night has been lovingly interspersed with historical and never-seen-before personal footage owned by band. The original album and singles artwork by collaborator Jamie Hewlett – their cover designer and artist for many years – was specifically animated as the screen backdrop for the band on stage that night, and this too has been intercut and brought to life throughout the assembled work.

The reception from the night was overwhelmingly positive. This new assembly stands as a truly personal document, for and by the fans themselves; a fantastic and unique document of that intimately shared evening and final concert by Senseless Things.

There will be a post-screening Q&A with the band.
