Kid Creole & The Coconuts (live HiQ) - Downtown 81

A rarely seen, but still classic movie - for fans of modern music and cinema, alike. Worth searching for, IYKWIM.

This excerpt features Kid Creole & The Coconuts, but there's a whole range of other artists on board - too many to mention here.

It's strange - from watching the other clips of KC on the 'net, I somehow knew this footage existed. And the main story is quite a complex 'morality tale', too.

Anyway, what a discovery - enjoy!!!

This is the only music from the (sensational) soundtrack CD that contains audience noise. So, perhaps it's the actually filmed performance.

The rest(?) of the soundtrack was lost for many years - it had to be re-dubbed. Hence the obscurity of the film...
