Well tremendous news for all music fans, Suede have decided to reform for what appears to be a one off gig in aid of the Teenage Cancer Fund. While they have yet to confirm the date of this performance, they have nevertheless promised that they will go forward with it. Brett Anderson always seem reluctant towards a potential reunion so this comes as welcome news. It seems unlikely that this will last beyond a single appearance, and feels like another reunion in the Blur/Led Zeppelin mould, which is probably for the best. I wouldn't be surprised to see them turn up at either Glastonbury or more likely Reading festival where they have a rich history as headliners as both Suede and the Tears.
Suede will of course be remembered as one of Brit Pop's biggest hitters, however they never quite fit the bill. They were camper, more emotive more in tune with the Smiths' emotional legacy while still retaining the Stone Roses' capacity for the pop single, and of course a healthy dollop of classic Bowie glam. Their first three albums were met with universal acclaim and rarely put a foot wrong throughout the nineties. So to celebrate, here are some classic performances of some of their most successful singles.
Beautiful Ones - Reading '97
So Young - Reading Festival '97
Animal Nitrate - Love And Poison Tour '93
Trash - Uncut Show in Camdem '99
