ELASTICA'S STORY on 'Rock Family Tree: The Birth of Cool Britannia' (2022)

[@jean-philippenachtergaele4429]

would just like to say how much Elastica rocked my adolescence! Almost thirty years later, I still know every tone and lyric of their songs and still play them regularly! From an old Belgian fan :)

[@outdoorminer5533]

I love how kind Justine is to Damon. Who knew back then than he’d be an absolute legend of music?

[@JFRULESOK]

How was she kind x

[@lesleyh88]

Bring a junkie ain’t kind

[@Spidermansthirdcousin]

Exactly!! considering how shit damon was to her at times. She deserves the world

[@lesleyh88]

@@Spidermansthirdcousin she was mean and critical towards him esp about The Great Escape but I wasn’t there so how could I or any of us know any more……then she becomes the posh heroin addict for 5 years or so, as well as the whole band, but Justin less so maybe I don’t know, but what a pitiful state of affairs :/ …Erm……I will always love both bands’ music.

[@Spidermansthirdcousin]

@@lesleyh88 she was definitely an addict but as was damon each on their own really. I thibk what bugs me the most about him was how he was insistent on having an open relationship because his affairs with girl fans. Justine was in agreement but she never rly pursued anyone outside of Damon. Also the fact that he couldnt be grown up with brett anderson because he was an ex of justine.

[@stacyfrett4143]

I listened to your music on repeat! I loved Elastica, unfortunately never got to see you play live. Loved the documentary. Cheers!

One of my favorite bands from the 90's

[@benitolazio8193]

Listen to Wire , Elastica basically stole their songs.

Thank you for this, I was a huge fan of the band back in the day!

[@thestalwartlovers7684]

This was fun to watch! I am currently working with Justin and Ricky from the Brian Jonestown massacre on a project called The Stalwart Lovers

[@trimmtrabb23]

Thank u for sharing this Justine..🙏Loved Elastica! I miss the 90s...

[@lptomtom]

Fantastic, thanks for the upload! I wonder if Donna and Annie refused to appear in the documentary, they might not remember Elastica as fondly as the Justin(e)s Also, I wonder if Justine still owns her black Telecaster or if she still plays music at all or just paints nowadays

[@fusionspace175]

I was just an American kid who loved Hackers and its soundtrack, never gotten into any European bands before, but I followed the connection to Elastica's album and found a new favorite. Punk ended up being my favorite genre, and I'm glad they broadened my view going into it. I wish we got more from them.

[@Captain_Rhodes]

one of the best bands of that era. As good as the best british bands at the time.

[@easygoingbloke]

I'll put the kettle on Justine, and please get Elastica back together for a one off. Luv from England. Thank You. Excellent Insightful Documentary.

[@ivanivan4899]

Justine is so tremendous beautiful. Even now, nothing changed. And their music sounds great today

[@Br1tp0pp]

born to late to see them live in 90s

[@MMG_MoonManGuitar]

Can't wait for this!

[@gaspanda]

One thing I did take issue with is when they talked about grunge imitators they showed clips of screaming trees and Tad who were respected bands in the scene.

[@burningjdm]

This man has been posting Elastica content for 14 years straight

[@roboliver9980]

Elastica/elastica is a perfect almost punk album tight short songs. Shame they burned bright and short but wow what a great period to grow up to.

[@joevolpini137]

I know back in 1995. When they played in the Opera House in Toronto. It was a small venue. And you know they sound better. It was one of those days. They nailed it hard. Justine's voice was incredible.

[@ejenplitobarces]

7:24 Justine looks kinda like Brian Molko there

[@Evening76]

Sci fi lullabie . So good I love SUEDE

[@squidbobtanglepants1921]

I've been listening to this band since the summer of 9th grade back in 2016. Found them through the movie Trainspotting. First and FAVORITE brit-pop band (and I'm an avid listener of Oasis, Blur, The La's, etc. ... Also, I'm American)

[@inlove-justinefrischmannbr7929]

History!

[@dannygvg.ortega3576]

I still remember watching her videos on MTV and I fell in love with her 😊

Sólo diré esto: Te amo Justine💘

[@jean-philippenachtergaele4429]

Je voudrais juste dire à quel point Elastica a bercé mon adolescence ! Près de trente ans plus tard, je connais encore chaque sonorité et chaque parole de leurs chansons et les joue encore régulièrement ! De la part d'un vieux fan belge :)

[@Tinoperet]

I've always liked her.

[@20centurygirl21]

cool bandddd

[@BigSmallTravel]

Love Elastica.

[@AnHourOfWolves]

that was great.

[@jonas7252]

America is Colombia, Ecuador, Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Panama, Canada... etc , not only the United States. By the way, I love Elastica.

[@Answersonapostcard]

Las Americas son.

[@jonas7252]

@@Answersonapostcard Nope, only one continent and all of us are American. Nevertheless, I know your system of education, and I understand why you say that.

[@Answersonapostcard]

@@jonas7252 in the UK when someone says America they usually mean the United States of America. People with some geography knowledge understand that The Americas is of course, all americas, but few people refer to these countries as that. It is more common to say "latin america", "South America", "Central America" and so on. It is more about being understood than being technically correct 100% of the time. If I started correcting people on this then some might think I'm just being pedantic.

[@jonas7252]

@@Answersonapostcard I got you, but we are the new generation and we know it's wrong. We've got dignity and in the same way they call us just latin-americans, well, they are anglo-americans. latin americans and anglo americans, both groups, Americans. It's not our fault that they wrote the name of their country wrongly. It's insane to think that only that small part of the whole continent is considered America by you. They are the United States of Angloamerica to us.

[@Answersonapostcard]

@@jonas7252 It doesn't really matter to us. Most people know the differences. It's just a way of speaking. When we speak of America, we're not talking about the continent, we're talking about the USA. It's just the way it is and no-one really makes a big issue about it. It's pedantic to stress about these minor details. It doesn't affect you in any way. I think latin American countries have far greater problems than people in other countries referring to the USA as 'America'. Here in the UK we ask "how many sugars" which is also incorrect, but no one really cares. Its just part of how people communicate.

"I hadn't signed Radiohead" o dear. I only know Elastica from the song Vaseline

[@ElEcodelTren]

why is Durutti Column music as background?.. what it has to do with this group?

[@peteywheatstraws4909]

Did they steal all their songs from Wire? Sure they did. Still put out some fun albums.

[@karinebuinier8351]

A little too short 😁

[@slowed_songs2203]

EEEEEEE

[@benitolazio8193]

Should be ashamed .Elastica literally stole 9 songs from Wire then presented them as their own.

I had their album. Never listened to it very much. It wasn't terrible but it was somewhat boring and repetitive much like Oasis. Drib drab. Loads of better music happening at the time.
