I aften spiller bandet Crushed Kid på The Deaf Institute (kapacitet kun 260) i Manchester, det efter livedebuten fandt sted i aftes på MOTH Club (kapacitet 300) i London’s nordøstlige Hackney. Crushed Kid, der på aftenens venue i Manchester beskrives som ‘brand sparkling new post punk band’, er naturligvis – tjek billedet ovenfor – Suede i forklædning, der bruger de to shows til hemmelig live-præsentation af det nye album Autofiction, der udsendes om halvanden uge. Her en løsrevet stemningsrapport fra i aftes på Twitter:

“banging night of Suede playing the new LP as ‘Crushed Kid’ at Moth club, especially as it was with my oldest pal (and oldest Suede friend) from school. We worked out that Suede are nearer to Hysteria-era Def Leppard than Britpop eg. The Bluetones, and that is why they’re amazing.”
