Suede review – a sensory assault for classic LP Coming Up

Usher Hall, Edinburgh Brett Anderson climbs monitors and vaults up to high notes in an energetic, irresistible performance of their 1996 album

“I t doesn’t matter how many times they grind us down!” roars Brett Anderson in a shouted-word addendum to glam-banging outsider anthem Trash, milling his winklepicker into the stage as if aggressively extinguishing a cigarette. A 25th anniversary celebration of Suede’s 1996 classic Coming Up – an album front-loaded with three Top 10 singles – was always liable to ignite quickly. And yet the Edinburgh audience still seem momentarily stunned by the ferocity with which the band and their thin streak of 54-year-old frontman assault their senses.

Reunited 11 years now, nearly as long they lasted first time around from 1989 to 2003, the Londoners are overdue a nostalgia trip after three strong new albums since 2013. How better, following the pandemic’s dispiriting long pause, than with the record that propelled Suede to the stars just when they looked chucked on the dump? Their first album with miraculous teenage guitarist Richard Oakes (replacement for the seemingly irreplaceable Bernard Butler), Coming Up threw pop muscle behind Anderson’s sinuous songwriting and decadent epicene image, helping mixed-up small-town boys and girls everywhere suddenly feel like they belonged .

Considering the dark turn Anderson’s life took once Britpop turned sour, it’s a wonder he’s alive today, much less still squeezing into a black shirt that looks like it buttons on the left, flopping a full head of foppish dark hair around and effortlessly vaulting the high notes in Filmstar. During Beautiful Ones, he towers leggily on a monitor leading the crowd in a chorus of extended la la la-ing. Come Saturday Night, Anderson’s crouched at the stage edge, shrilly crooning a ballad of bittersweet nocturnal thrills wrapped in a coat of chilly synth strings.

Coming Up’s slight 42 minutes are extended with a couple of contemporaneous B-sides – a disarming off-mic acoustic rendition of Another No One sung solo by Anderson in a swirl of dry ice, and the first ever live performance of Have You Ever Been This Low? A subsequent energetic root through Suede’s repertoire new and old starts with Snowblind and Outsiders and ends with a thrilling run of So Young, Animal Nitrate and New Generation. The all-action Anderson dramatically whirls his microphone near the head of unreasonably calm keyboardist Neil Codling one minute, crumples into a ball on the floor the next. Never knowingly understated, and always irresistible.

Suede at Alexandra Palace review: wholly predictable and explosively exciting

If any band was born to fill the old-school grandeur of Alexandra Palace with booming, swaggering, arena-sized melodrama, Suede fit the bill perfectly. “I love being back home!” bellowed their eerily ageless frontman Brett Anderson . “All the love and poison of London!” Politely overlooking the fact that the singer lives in sleepy rural Somerset these days, the crowd responded with hysterical cheers.

Lean and lithe, Anderson is in absurdly great shape for a 54-year-old former drug addict, his hollow-cheeked vulpine beauty increasingly reminiscent of Danish screen pin-up Mads Mikkelsen. His tirelessly athletic, hip-twisting, sweat-drenched performance during this show was as impressive as ever, and helps explain why Suede remain such an electrifying live spectacle even now, a decade into their second-act comeback.

Twice postponed for pandemic reasons, this show was ostensibly a 25th anniversary celebration of Suede’s third album, Coming Up, a 1996 chart-topper which spawned five Top Ten singles and sold over a million copies. Played live in sequence, the album held up very well as a coherent body of songs, from gloriously histrionic teen-outsider anthems such as Trash and Beautiful Ones to the achingly romantic power ballads By The Sea and The Chemistry Between Us.

After completing the album run-through, Suede played a further set packed with clobbering, snarling, sleaze-glam classics including We Are The Pigs, Metal Mickey and Animal Nitrate. An agreeable change of register came when Nadine Shah, the support act on this tour, reappeared to accompany Anderson on a stripped-down acoustic version of The Wild Ones. Shah’s bruised, sultry voice added some pleasingly bluesy shading to the Suede singer’s feral, declamatory roar.

Suede are essentially the Rolling Stones of Britpop nowadays, a reliably rowdy classic-rock band with a dynamic frontman who have been playing much the same crowd-pleasing greatest-hits set for decades. Even Anderson’s stage banter in Alexandra Place had a familiar ring. “Thirty years I’ve been standing in front of an AC30,” he declared, gesturing to the onstage amplifiers. “I’m going a bit deaf. I can’t hear you, are you cheering?” He made the same quip on the last Suede tour, two years ago. Then, as now, the audience responded with indulgent cheers. If rock star work ever dries up, Anderson could make a living as a pantomime dame.

Disappointingly, this show largely ignored Suede’s well-received trio of post-comeback albums, with their more experimental textures, lavish arrangements and spoken-word interludes. Instead, the band stuck within their middle-aged audience’s comfort zone, snorting thick lines of Nineties nostalgia, shaking their bits to the hits. They played safe, but with passion and energy and bucketloads of high drama. Once again, they pulled off the paradoxical trick of being both wholly predictable and explosively exciting.

Recent tour reviews

Wow, what a fantastic evening. I can’t remember the last time I saw a group with so much energy. Lead singer sounded great and his energy never waned. He was jumping from the stage to crowd barrier, going into the crowd and the audience loved it. If you want a great high energy gig to go to this is the one. I would go and see them again tomorrow and I am keeping my fingers crossed that they come back to Nottingham soon.

Its a shame Brett Anderson didnt make the most of his first appearance at the Apollo as he chose to only sing out to one side of the crowd all night leaving everyone else excluded. Even Iggy pop and Nick Jagger in their 70s use every inch of the stage to make their fans feel included. Perhaps the venue was too big for him.

The blue hours a great album. Easy to sing along catchy tunes. Fab performance from Suede who were in a playful mood. Signed my album with doodles of sketches. Brett interacted with the crowd who reached out to get a touch of his hand. It was also a pleasure to meet some of ' the insatiable ones' fan club as they made it fun. Apollo in October here we come!...
