Music News - The Chills Reveal New Feature Documentary & Film Preview DVD
18 May 2016 - 0 Comments
Following the release of
last year’s critically acclaimed Silver Bullets, The Chills tour Europe
through May and June bringing with them the ultimate
unreleased collector’s item.
A precursor to feature documentary film, The Curse Of The Chills examines one
of New Zealand’s most revered bands is set for release next year. The new
deluxe DVD film preview package Martin Phillipps - Live At The Moth
Club will be available at a select number of live shows on the European leg of
the tour and is released 22nd July.
Limited to just 2,000 copies worldwide it features Martin Phillipps’
performance at the MOTH Club in Hackney last autumn with bonus documentary
material from the new film. This rare and special film preview ‘bookback’
includes new live CD, all audio from that show, and 20 page book with images
and lyrics.
The Curse Of The Chills is a major new feature documentary that features
never-before-seen live footage, interviews and archive. With exclusive access
to the Phillipps family home video archive, the film provides an intimate
portrait of the man behind The Chills. Exploring the source of his creativity
and his songwriting aesthetic, the film also follows Martin on his journey from
scenester musician to international star, then follows him on the downward
spiral, interest in the band waned and depression and addiction set in. It’s an
age old rock and roll story where Martin is unflinchingly honest about his
heroin addiction and struggles with Hepatitis. Happily, there is a final act to
the story, and the film is ultimately one of redemption and vindication of
living a life that stays true to your beliefs – whatever the cost.
"After three
decades of near-misses and dark alleys, Phillipps has finally embraced his role
as king of the underdogs." Pitchfork
