Suede began by treading the familiar jobbing route of London's emerging new 1990s indie bands - gigs at ULU, the Camden Powerhaus and the Old Trout in Windsor - and the dispiriting experience of playing a set to an audience of one.

In the late 1980s Jon Ronson was the keyboard player in the Frank Sidebottom Oh Blimey Big Band. Frank wore a big fake head. Nobody outside his inner circle knew his true identity.

Twenty-five years later and Jon has co-written a movie, Frank, inspired by his time in this great and bizarre band.

In Counterpoint, he recounts his efforts to rise to the challenge, and to fight through his grief by coming to terms with his memories of a difficult, complicated childhood.

More than a band, the Cramps are a uniquely special rock'n'roll phenomenon that has endured for over 45 years. Formed in the creative maelstrom of late 70's New York by Ohio natives Lux Interior (Erik Purkhiser) and Poison Ivy (Kirsty Wallace), the Cramps not only originated the psychobilly subgenre but also left behind an unsurpassable legacy of blisteringly good, primal rock'n'roll.
