secret gig 2002

>> Date: 04 May 2002 [Saturday]

>> Venue: The Depot, London, UK

>> Highlights:

This is a surprise gig for about 100 fans who thought they were attending only The Drowners 10th anniversary party

>> Review:

Earlier in the evening, fans had gathered at the Liquid Rooms in King's Cross for a tenth anniversary celebration of the release of Suede's debut single 'The Drowners'. The club night was expected to feature guest appearances from the band and a playback of new album tracks. Attentive fans recognised a couple of new songs played in the club.

At 8.15pm, it was announced to some disappointment that the band could not make it to the club. But then, a member of Suede's management revealed that the band had invited all the fans along to watch them play what would be one of their most intimate gigs ever. Everyone was then transported to the Depot rehearsal studios in two buses waiting outside.

Suede arrived on stage at about 9pm, with just a few flight cases acting as a front of stage barrier between the audience. By the end of the gig, fans were sitting on the cases just inches away from the band.
