St Etienne

St Etienne began life in the minds of two young Croydonites Bob Stanley and Pete Wiggs, who joined by chanteuse Sarah Cracknell went on to be the definitive indie/dance crossover of the late 90’s. Glamorous and deftly cool they brought 60’s soul, Parisian chic  and a pop sensibility to the grey post-Acid House landscape of 90’s suburban England.

Their work which as well as music spans literature and film is often about the city and one city in particular – London., Fformer artists in residence at the Royal Festival Hall, St Etienne have built up a considerable body of work exploring the built environment and the experience of living in the city. 

On 11 November Finisterre and What Have You Done Today Mervyn Day? (both directed by Paul Kelly) are being shown here in two very special screenings, with both the director and members of the band in attendance. Afterwards St Etienne will be hosting their own party at Croydon’s iconic Warehouse Theatre.
