“The whole point of the movie was to make an anti-concert film,” Evans previously told NME. “We were moaning about cranes and all that festival footage. One night a couple of years ago we were talking about how much we loved old Sex Pistols concerts. There’s a brilliant compilation of punk films on Sky Atlantic at the moment all about that old Tony Wilson show, So It Goes. He’d film Buzzcocks gigs but only send two or three cameras. Because they had longer takes and would just cut what they had, it felt so much more exciting than having say 20 cameras where nothing is left to chance. We wanted to leave something to chance with this.
“The whole premise was me with a low-end, lo-fi camera, shooting one member of the band each night, going round them each gig from a different angle and shooting the audience. That was it – the golden rule. There wasn’t an intention to release anything, it was more about a document of the tour, but then a friend of mine edited some stuff together and we realised we had something.”
He added: “[Bassist, Nicky] Wire phoned me today and said he still had a headache from watching the film. I didn’t know whether to be chuffed or worried.”
Meanwhile, Manic Street Preachers recently went on tour alongside the Welsh rugby team in Japan – where they invited the squad’s Jamie Roberts on stage to perform.
Speaking about his thoughts on the Manics’ next album, bassist Nicky Wire last year told NME: “I just think musically, James [Dean Bradfield, frontman] is bursting with electricity. You can feel it in him. He’s got that desire to start up again. He was talking to me about ideas on how to make things more expansive.

MANIC STREET PREACHERS Postcards From A Young Man (2010 UK Deluxe Mementos Edition MULTI-FORMAT Boxset - Ten albums into their life's work, it would be wrong to say that the Manic Street Preachers are raging against the dying of the light.'Postcards From A Young Man' comes after the acclaimed 'Journal For Plague Lovers', a record of steely intent and corrosive power on which every lyric was taken from the final folder of work left by former member Richey Edwards just prior tohis disappearance in 1995. That album in turn was a typically stark and startling follow-up to 2007s triumphantly resurgent 'Send Away The Tigers', an album that gave new heart to their global faithful. 'Postcards...' may be their best yet. Defiantly, unapologetically bold and forthright and communicative, it makes the head swim with both the thrill of its tunes and its theories [always a heady Manics mix] and burns with that raging melancholia that has always been unique to them. This boxset comprises the 12-track CD album including the single '[It's Not War] Just The End Of Love' and a guest appearance by Echo & The Bunnymen's Ian McCulloch, Bonus DVD featuring Making Of and In Studio footage, Bonus 13-track CASSETTE containing demo versions of all 12 album tracks and the exclusive original Nicky Wire demo of '[It's Not War] Just The End Of Love'. Presented in deluxe packaging complete with the 42-page 'Notes Words Lists Ideas Stuff Inspiration' Scrapbook including handwritten lyrics, lists and notes plus exclusive band photos!) **Strictly Limited to 1000 Copies ONLY**
