Supergrass Live @ Islington  [Dial-Up] [Broadband]

They've spent years touring and notched up a string of platinum selling albums. They’re now one of the most respected and talented bands in the UK. Their live shows are exceptional, packed with emotive, cheerful classics.

They are Supergrass and in June they played an astonishing set for Xfm at the Carling Academy Islington. Now, for the first time, you can watch the gig in full and on-demand.
 
Hit the links above to watch the whole thing or use the interactive setlist below to cherry pick your favourite tracks.

‘Lenny’  [Dial-Up] [Broadband] 
Illustrating their unique style and widespread appeal, a terrifically pounding, loaf-along-with-me tune.  

'Richard III' [Dial-Up] [Broadband]
Rampaging and electrifying with an added selection of horns and keyboards.

'Lose It' [Dial-Up] [Broadband]
Rasping, riffy rock 'n' roll.

‘Mary’ [Dial-Up] [Broadband]
Frankly filthy version of the classic Coombes lovesong from their third album.
 
'Bullet' [Dial-Up] [Broadband]
Brand n ew dark/goth rocker of a song taken from the 'Supergrass Is 10' compilation

‘Rush Hour Soul’ [Dial-Up] [Broadband]
Taken from ‘Life On Other Planets’ – this 100mph romp does exactly what it says on the tin. A glitzy stomper of a tune with crunching guitars, twinkling piano and classic vocal hooks.  
 
'Hollow Little Reign'  [Dial-Up] [Broadband]
This '70s influenced optimistic number is about as mellow and slow paced as Gaz and Co. like to get.

'Kiss Of Life' [Dial-Up] [Broadband]
Confirming it isn't the end of the 10-year timeline with another new number, featuring a buoyant beat and '70s funk groove.
 
'Late In The Day' [Dial-Up] [Broadband]
A beautifully arranged pop melody, combining playful punk with glam's get-up-and-go.
 
'Wait For The Sun' [Dial-Up] [Broadband]
 Upbeat, uplifting and full of energy, what else would you expect.
 
‘Caught By The Fuzz’ [Dial-Up] [Broadband]
Still the quintessential Supergrass track, this rare acoustic reading imbues the madcap original with a childish innocence.

'Pumping On Your Stereo' [Dial-Up] [Broadband]
With the signature Supergrass catchiness that brings out the sing-along spirit in all of us. Coombes roars along as the crowd begin to bounce.

‘Grace’ [Dial-Up] [Broadband]
Extremely short verses prepare you for the ace chorus of ‘Save your money for the children!’. Infectious and refreshing like a nice glass of bubbly indie-pop.
 
'Time' [Dial-Up] [Broadband]
'The time's on the way, my love, I know I'm going away, my love/A light feeling inside, my love' sings Gaz.

‘Moving’ [Dial-Up] [Broadband]
Trademark tune from the third album, taking the quiet/loud aesthetic to consummate heights as the verse builds menacingly into one of the greatest choruses ever to drip from Gaz Coombes‘ lips.
 
'Strange Ones' [Dial-Up] [Broadband]
A sweetly riotous indie disco dancefloor filler. 
 
'Mansize Rooster' [Dial-Up] [Broadband]
Comes hurtling outta '95 with a fantastic fresh feeling, that proves its still alive and kicking after nearly a decade.
 
'Sun Hits The Sky' [Dial-Up] [Broadband]
Sweety stimulating epic knockabout rock that takes you up so high and then they leave the stage. It's all over.
