‘Energy’ documentary on Can singer Damo Suzuki in the works

Energy: A Documentary about Damo Suzuki will be the first feature-length movie about the singer of “Vitamin C,” “Mother Sky,” “Mushroom,” “Spoon,” “Halleluwah,” and “Moonshake,” who once said he composed his lyrics in “the language of the Stone Age,” and whose inspired approach to life is of a piece with the way he sings. A commitment to total spontaneity can be fruitful, if you happen to be Damo Suzuki. One day in 1970, Holger Czukay and Jaki Liebezeit saw him busking in a Munich street, “screaming and sort of adoring the sun,” and invited him to front Can at their show that night. Czukay later recalled: I told him there’d be no rehearsal, that we’d see him on stage and he could just go ahead. And it worked out in a totally unexpected way. On stage he started out very calm and peaceful, then suddenly – like a Samurai warrior – he switched and became the exact opposite. The audience were frightened by him. It was like when the Sex Pistols first came out. Director Michelle Heighway has been filming Suzuki since 2014, the year the singer was diagnosed with colon cancer.

Mr. Somebody? A Documentary Featuring Jake Mangle-Wurzel

Set to screen at Huddersfield Lawrence Batley Theatre.

Mr. Somebody?

Friday 24 April - Tickets £6

LBT Screen, SOLD OUT 7.30pm, STILL SEATS AVAILABLE for 9.15pm

  Oscillating wildly from eccentric to insightful, Huddersfield’s ‘professional lunatic’ Jake Mangle-Wurzel cuts a hugely imaginative yet lonely figure.

This humorous, moving documentary chronicles Jake’s highs and lows over a period of five years that included a council-ordered clean up and a devastating fire. After sold-out screenings at Sheffield Doc/Fest and Leeds International Film Festival, Michelle Heighway’s film comes home to Huddersfield.

  Due to popular demand and the sell-out 7.30pm screening, there will be an additional screening at 9.15pm on the same evening.
