Oct 23rd 2008 - "The Subterraneans Show" DVD ready to roll

"The Subterraneans Show" - the band's long lost 1984 promo-video-cum-ultra-low-budget-50s-rock-n-roll-exploitation-flick - will be heading your way soon. Lost since 1988, when intoxicated Johnny & The Deadbeats frontman Johnny "Psycho" Watson mislaid the only VHS copy in an Edinburgh taxi, the video has been reconstructed from original super-8 cine footage recently rediscovered in Director Ken "Russ Meyerybank" Livingstone's shed.

"The Subterraneans Show" features flying saucers, commie spies, giant mutant lizards, fast cars, excessive advertising, chicks, gee-tars and rock n roll - everything you need in a proper 50s trash B-movie. And it was filmed in 1984 in Newvalley and a junkyard on Inaclete Road.

The original film was digitally remastered by Moja TV supremo Kenny "Fraochie" Stewart and the extensive team of specialists at his hi-tech research labs. Director Livingstone then re-edited Fraochie's digitally remastered footage together into a form that's probably sort of like it was before it got lost.

Click here for Stills. We'll git the full video posted up on YouTube soon.

Along with the DVD we hope to include a CD combining stuff from the band's 2 straight-to-cassette "releases": "Garage Fuzz" (1983) and "Swamp Psyche" from (1984). Predictably entitled "Swamp Psyche & Garage Fuzz - Lost Sounds from the Leodhasach Trashbeat Era" the CD will be padded out with and padding it out with dodgy "previously unreleased" front-room rehearsal stuff
