Description & Specifications

An exciting personal narrative about the dramas of a unique British band, signed by Neil Tennant. The journey of Suede, initially characterized as "The Best New Band in Britain" and "effete southern wankers," is recalled with emotion by their frontman, Brett Anderson, whose vibrant autobiography navigates between tender, funny, tumultuous, happy, and bitter moments. Suede began by following the usual path of up-and-coming indie bands in 1990s London, playing at venues like ULU, Camden Powerhaus, and Old Trout in Windsor, even performing sets in front of an audience of just one person. However, during these golden days, their momentum was undeniable. Anderson's creative collaboration with guitarist Bernard Butler revealed a unique and exceptional hybrid of lyrics and sound, creating some of the era's most respected songs and albums. In "Afternoons with the Blinds Drawn," Anderson explores his relationship with addiction with honesty, filled with the frustration that early musical ties were severed, and with a clear view of his youthful persona. "As a young man... oscillated between morbid self-reflection and vainglorious narcissism," he writes. His honesty, with sharp self-awareness and artistic writing, makes this autobiography a compelling read and an outstanding insight into one of the most significant bands of the last 25 years.
