Radar: Shut Up And Play The Hits, LCD Soundsystem

FACT screen a loving look back at one of the century's most influential, and exciting, bands - with Q and A after: as LCD Soundsystem live again, for one night only.

All our friends will be going to this one. You too, possibly. Shut Up And Play The Hits is the documentary charting LCD Soundsystem’s final show at Madison Square Garden, and examining the reasons behind frontman James Murphy’s decision to pull the plug on his art school danceathon. The four hour extravaganza was, by all accounts, quite a show: the band’s self conscious synth-pop given the loving, full volume, big screen treatment it’s always hankered after. A bittersweet look back at one of the century’s most exciting musical mavericks, we imagine. Following the film, there’s a video link via satellite to a Q and A with Murphy himself.
