Suede aired two brand new songs for the first time during their headline appearance at the Hop Farm festival yesterday (July 1st).
The reformed British band debuted the previously discussed ‘Sabotage‘, as well as ‘For The Strangers‘, after bass player Mat Osman had earlier told BANG Showbiz: “With a festival crowd, you play your more well-known hits but then we’re going to play some new songs tonight as well.”
Back in May, Suede’s frontman Brett Anderson revealed they had scrapped most of the new songs they performed on their 2011 comeback tour, and have instead begun work on a fresh batch of material with former producer Ed Buller.
“The proto-proto-proto type version that we were fumbling around with towards the end of last year is very dead so apart from ‘Sabotage’, don’t get attached to any of those songs from Russia cos it’s very unlikely anyone will ever hear them again,” he wrote on the band’s official Facebook page.
