Australian band look back on their packed out Brixton Academy show... As if often the case with musical trends and era’s, Britpop became in many ways its own worst enemy, consuming itself like an after-dinner mint. In the words of John Niven: “During the boom of Britpop, the last great gold rush of the music industry. I saw incredible greed and terrible behaviour. I was greedy and terribly behaved.” The vast swath of insincere commercialism that took over Britpop slowly saw gluttony and narcissism steer the ship wayward, of a cultural movement gone wrong, with the music being very much put to the back seat.
