Part of the Weekend Never Dies

"The Beastie Boys famously used 50 cameras for their recent live DVD. AC/DC employed a helicopter. This film saw cult director Saam Farahmand record 120 shows on one camera, and it looks so much better...”

“A work of incredible art.” Time Out UK

"...this is a testament to Soulwax’ never-ending dedication to giving their fans the most worthy ‘morning afters’ of their lives.” Mag – Australia September, 9 2008

"The film pulses with kinetic live footage, schizophrenic montages and reflective interview segments, capturing the Radio Soulwax experience in all its explosive glory...” De Morgen – Belgium September, 1 2008

"Most original rockumentary since Meeting People Is Easy by Radiohead…”

Director Saam Farahmand filmed Soulwax on their recent international dates, capturing all the excitement, chaos and humour of the world tour. Where the Beastie Boys filmed one gig with 50 cameras, Soulwax filmed 120 shows with one camera, in Europe, Japan, US, Latin America and Australia. The result is a snapshot of life on the road with one of the most exciting live bands in the world, and features their friends including 2manydj's, James Murphy & Nancy Whang (LCD Soundsystem), Erol Alkan, Tiga, Justice, Busy P, So-Me, Peaches, Klaxons and many more in interview, as well as behind-the-scenes footage, and LOTS of music.
