A night of live music and film celebrating a truly independent and uncategorisable scene of the last two decades.
INTROSPECTIVE (Adam Garriga, Spain, 2006, 65 mins)
This music documentary explores ‘post-rock’, the term coined by the influential Wire magazine to describe a diverse set of groundbreaking artists who emerged in the 1990s. Featuring great live footage, filmed over a number of years at the Sonar and Primeavera music festivals in Spain, of bands like Mogwai, Tortoise, Low and Mouse on Mars, and interviews with underground music icons like Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth, Ira Kaplan of Yo la Tengo and Jason Pierce of Spiritualized, INTROSPECTIVE creates a fascinating overview of alternative music in the last 20 years.

+ live: Wild Dogs In Winter
Wild Dogs In Winter make slow-burning, intense, saddening music with sparse guitars, minimal percussion and organs combine with aching vocals and caustic lyrics. With a self-releasing debut E.P in late 2008, the band have moved on from the basement studio project it began as, into a live band. With various comparisons to Arab Strap, A Silver Mount Zion and Sigur Ros, 2009 has been spent touring and writing dark and haunting listen music for their debut album in 2010. www.myspace.com/wilddogsinwinter
+ live: Running
Closer to home, New Cross and East London based instrumental 3-piece Running come to the LSFF with a barrage of beautiful sounds and rhythmic beats. www.myspace.com/runninguk
