LONDON, UK (Top40 Charts/ Suede Official Website) Fresh from their glorious December show at London's The O2 Arena, Britpop pioneers
Suede continue their comeback with a 3-night residency at the O2 Brixton Academy in London on 19th, 20th and 21st May, with tickets available for fans through Ticketmaster's GET ME IN! ticket marketplace.
Fronted by Brett Anderson with Richard Oakes, Simon Gilbert, Neil Codling and Matt Osman, Suede dedicate each night to one of their influential first 3 albums; 1993's eponymous titled debut "Suede," 1994's majestic "Dog Man Star" and the chart-storming Britpop classic, "Coming Up." Each night the band will play an album in its entirety, including single b-sides from each era.
Suede arrived in 1992 when US Grunge bands dominated the airwaves. The band's unmistakably British style quickly found new fans and with a little help from the NME, Suede were set for stardom.
Their self-titled debut "Suede" was winning blend of classic British songwriting in the vein of The Smiths with influences of Marc Bolan/T Rex and Ziggy-era Bowie. The ambitious follow-up, "Dog Man Star" failed to match sales of the debut but has since been widely regarded as a pop masterpiece.
Differences between the band and guitarist and founding member, Bernard Butler led to an acrimonious split. Many believed Butler's departure would signal the end for Suede, but like Phoenix, Suede re-emerged with new members. Then 16-years old guitar prodigy, Richard Oakes and multi-instrumentalist, Neil Codling helped Suede achieve their biggest hit to date. "Coming Up" was released in 1996 and featured the massive Britpop anthems "Trash," "Beautiful Ones," "Filmstar" and "Saturday Night."
