Spike Island on video
Update: sorry folks looks like the video has been pulled from YouTube due to copyright violations.
Here’s the next best thing, some behind the scenes footage from ePaxB – Roses @ Spike Island.
Time for something special. Unearthed is a trailer for the legendary Spike Island gig from 1990.
There’s been rumours of footage circulating for many years, and little bits and pieces have appeared. To date it’s mainly been rehearsal and behind the scenes footage.
This video is the first I’ve seen with actual stage footage from the gig itself.
I Wanna Be Adored TV show
Thankfully not a Monkees style recreation of the Roses heyday but a rather nifty trailer for a TV comedy pilot set in the ’90s.
I Wanna Be Adored follows two chancers Theo and Garry through a year in their lives. From hopelessly trying to form a band to joining someone elses, from reuniting with old school friends to falling out with your best one.
It of course features plenty of Roses tunes and other classics from the era.
