Check out the new Death From Above 1979 film trailer
Ridin' high off the back off their long-awaited record The Physical World, Death From Above 1979 are to release a new documentary film, titled Life After Death From Above 1979.
The film is released 7 October on Vimeo On Demand, and will chronicle the twosome's time together.
The synopsis reads:
In 2001, after years of playing in various bands, living together, and bonding over a mutual desire to continue playing music while peers abandoned rock n' roll to follow more traditional career paths, Jesse Keeler (bass) and Sebastien Grainger (drums), started a band out of boredom and necessity. They hammered out their sound in an unfinished basement in the east end of Toronto, and the result is what many have described as "an elephant in your living room."
They were propelled into the limelight based on the strength of their raucous live performances and the release of their seminal album, You're a Woman, I'm a Machine (2004). But as the band's success grew internationally, their friendship became strained due to constant travel, and little-to-no buffer between them. Over the course of grueling schedules and never-ending tours, they broke up in 2006, right after the biggest tour of their careers, and ended the band before reaching potential stardom.
In 2011, after five years of silence between them, and each focused on their own musical projects and respective lives, Jesse and Sebastien decided to reunite for one show: the legendary Coachella Music and Arts Festival. Life After Death From Above 1979 tells the story their rise, break-up, and coming back from the dead.
The film is directed by Eva Michon, and features music and interviews from Death From Above 1979, MSTRKRFT, Sebastian Grainger & The Mountains, Femme Fatale, CSS, Justice, The Strokes, Metric, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and more.
