Jarvis Cocker introducing JARV IS… to Bluedot Festival 2019 (Gary Mather for Live4ever)
Jarvis Cocker will screen his JARV IS… live film Beyond The Pale… Live From The Centre Of The Earth around the UK later this year with the collective unable to get out on the road and tour their debut album for real.
Instead, the film – which was recorded at Peak Cavern in Derbyshire – is to be shown at small venues in the cities which they were hoping to play during November and December, while ‘Everyman’ cinemas will be used where small venues are not possible.
“Beyond The Pale was written (& partially recorded) in front of a live audience, so it feels extra-strange not to be able to take it on the road at the moment,” Cocker says. “Fortunately, our friends Iain & Jane suggested a way round the problem: set up our equipment in a cave & they would film the results. We have invented a new way of playing a concert.”
