Taking in the first UK headline gig by The Strokes in a room above a pub, and the final arena tour by David Bowie.Along the way Duff experiences pub-crawls with Mark E. Smith of The Fall, convinces Paul Weller to undertake his first acting role and attempts to interview Genesis P. Orridge of Throbbing Gristle whilst tripping on LSD.Foreground Music captures the power of life-changing gigs, whilst tracing the evolution of 40 years of musical movements and subcultures.
