We hope you can come to a unique screening of The Beat Is The Law in London's fantastic Rough Trade East Shop. After the screening, Candida Doyle from Pulp and the film's director, Eve Wood, will be answering questions and providing a female view of the world of pop and film - Let The Women Speak! At the shop you will be able to purchase the critically acclaimed The Beat Is The Law DVD together with a free (hopefully signed) film poster. The ladies hope to see you there. xxx http://www.roughtrade.com/site/instore.lasso
I asked whether Pulp were doing anything in the future and she coyly answered that they're all keeping radio silence about it... and that she'd probably be shot if she said anything more! So that sounds positive... it's not a no!
I'm trying hard to remember - it's all a happy blur! The Q&A was pretty focused on the documentary really, and about how hard the 80s Sheffield bands had to fight to be heard. The director and Candida talked quite a bit about whether bands have it easier or harder these days, with internet promotion and the like.
She did talk a lot about the recent tour, actually, and how that came to be. She said (and I can't remember whether this was said in the Lamaq interview or not) that Jarvis rang around last July and there was a general fear/hesitation to begin with, so they all agreed to meet up.... then they agreed to rehearse 5 songs, and see how they went... and then they did a few more... and it gradually grew out of that!
She said they were all really nervous at first, and that the first few shows in particular were nerve-wracking, like being rabbits in the headlights. She was asked about Russell's involvement, and she scoffed a bit at how he was refusing to fly! Apparently he also refuses to sleep less than 500 feet above sea level (I think I've remembered that right) in case of tsunami's! ;)
Well boys and girls.....picture this - the intro that Pulp used at concerts was recorded - it was brand new, never heard before - so that HAVE recorded something. QUESTION REMAINS.........just how much and WHAT have they recorded?

Was it? It sounded identical to the intro they used at V96 - just with some repeats at the end. More a re-edit than a new recording, I'd thought.
