Bluebottle Kiss: Never Leave Town - Live in Sydney Trailers

Bluebottle Kiss were formed in Sydney in 1993, a turbulent time in the Australian independent music scene.  They sound only like themselves: A strikingly volatile unit bringing forth sweetness and ferocity, conjuring tales of personal vulnerability and a kind of warped Australiana. After releasing multiple albums and EPs, they parted ways in 2007. In 2022, the ‘Revenge is Slow’ (2002) line-up of Bluebottle Kiss announced a run of 5 reunion shows across Australia.  These were astonishing performances, transcending the entire concept of reformation. Film maker Ben deHoedt shot the band’s hometown gig in Sydney, resulting in the film (and accompanying live album) Bluebottle Kiss: Never Leave Town – Live in Sydney. Made on the fly with minimal equipment, this unadorned yet cinematic live document captures the rich hues, rough edges, vulnerability and vitality of Bluebottle Kiss as they perform some of their most accomplished material to a packed house over a 90 minute set.

n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
