Earlier this year St Etienne announced that their latest album – International– would also be their last. Like fans everywhere, our initial dismay was tempered by the warm nostalgic glow provided by the band’s 35 years of elegant, perfect pop.What better way to mark the passing of one of the classiest, smartest and elegiac bands of their generation, than a screening of their classy, smart and elegiac film Finisterre.
Directed by Paul Kelly (director of Lawrence of Belgravia) and Kieran Evans, presented and scored by the band, Finisterre is a “psycho-geographical” journey through their beloved London, exploring the influence of the city on the band and the dreams and realities of urban life, set to music from their wonderful album of the same name.
It features appearances from figures like Mark Perry, Julian Opie, and Vic Godard, creating a – yes – elegiac hymn to London.
Afterwards join Joe ‘n’ John as they spin some St Etienne-inspired discs at the Stalemates “French Disco”.
