“Yes. They are a strange bunch of people but I like them; they share the PiL philosophy. They have raised the money to film a documentary of our US tour. Can you think of anything better playing on your TV or in your movie house? Me on stage. Me in my underpants on a bus. Ha! It will be inspirational … to all those with a mind to be inspired.”
— Public Image, Ltd. frontman John Lydon makes the surprising revelation (via The Guardian) that James Murphy and LCD Soundsystem are the ones behind the Public Image, Ltd. tour documentary currently in the works. And yes, to quote Murphy, really, this is happening. As previously reported, the Alex Mar directed film was recorded at the band’s May 19th performance at Brooklyn’s Music Hall of Williamsburg.
Details currently stop there, but we’ll update you when we learn more details about the project and/or why LCD Soundsystem chose to throw their weight behind it.
