Flowered Up - Take it - the best version

Музыка

Flowered Up - Take it, as recorded from Snub TV, March 31st 1991. Flowered Up were an English indie pop-alternative dance band, formed in Camden Town, London in 1989, active during the Baggy movement. Their 13-minute single "Weekender" reached the UK top 20. The band split up in 1994 amid drug problems. Following a failed reformation attempt in 2007 and a solo record deal that fell through, frontman Liam Maher died from a heroin overdose in 2009, followed by his brother Joe also of a heroin overdose in 2012.

    I agree - the best version. Absolute classic and perfect indie rock song. So sad that so many people don't know this song even exists - it's their loss.

    Just realised, after watching this numerous times, it's not a live recording but an edit of a few takes. Great band with some outstanding tracks (take it, phobia, it's on, weekender, etc) - a favourite of mine in the 90s, and still today.

    It was recorded using just one camera, the song was performed multiple times, then edited together to make it seem as if there were multiple cameras, it was done for many performances on Snub as the full budget for each episode was just £1500, which even back in 1991 was very tight.

    No mate, Flowered Up were given the tag (unfairly) of the Cockney (London) Mondays. In fairness a very similar sound but Flowered Up in their own right, released very good tracks they unfortunately had only one album. However Weekender it's full 13 min or so glory which wasn't on their album in my mind still stands out as a masterpiece not only then but even more now. The Mondays and Flowered Up have/ had similar grooves, later Flowered Up tracks you can find on KZread 'Greedy Soul' and 'Dark Side of the Spoon ' However as per brothers Shaun and Paul from the Mondays, Liam and Joe from Flowered Up had issues of which we all have. Unfortunately Shaun is still the only one with us....
