Written by Jon Stickler
Asian Dub Foundation will perform their latest live soundtrack to George Lucas' 1971 cult sci-fi classic, THX 1138, at 10 venues in the autumn.
Following its UK premiere at London's Barbican on June 19,ADF will take the show on the road between October 17 and 28, stopping in Edinburgh, Gateshead, Manchester, Liverpool, Bristol, Cambridge, Basingstoke, Nottingham, Brighton and Coventry. Tickets are on sale now, priced from £17.00 plus fees.
Talking about the project, ADF's Steve Savale said:
"After the success of Battle of Algiers and La Haine I wanted to find a film that's technically possible to rescore so that audiences can actually watch the film and experience the music live... it was very important to respect the avant-garde, classical, discordant soundtrack that's there - by one of my great all-time heroes LaloSchiffrin - where the only melodic instrument is the flute - so Nathan "Flutebox" Lee's interpretation of those discordant strings is very relevant to the film - it represents the emotion."
Meanwhile, the new ADF album, 'More Signal More Noise', is released via Believe Recordings on July 10.
