Studio Brussel 3rd June 2013 (video/audio)

This is a radio session performed by Mr Smith and King Leetch for long time supporters of the band, Studio Brussel in June of 2013. Tom played guitar and Russell dusted the keys for this one, and a glance at the photos available in the zip file below will give you an idea of the level of intimacy here. There's only a handful of people present and they're almost on stage with them. I feel like they may have been chosen via one of those special ticket giveaway competitions that the station often do, but I'm not 100% certain. This was just before The Weight of Your Love was released, even though as Tom says during the interview it was already leaked beforehand.

This being the TWOYL campaign the set features two tracks from it. As well as being the only track posted as a video by Studio Brussel (we want the rest, dammit!), the rendition of Nothing is one of the four versions that I mentioned in the Heineken Open'er festival post; one that doesn't result in Mr Smith kissing a security guard on the top of the head.

Up for grabs here are an interview, the video for Nothing, some MP3s and all the photos that were posted on the StuBru website at the time of broadcast. Enjoy the music ;)

Bonus Materials
Ahead of their slot on Studio Brussel, Tom and Russell dropped in to give a 5 minute interview and it was made available in video form. The chat was about their upcoming Werchter 2013 show, which was only  a year after their epic 2012 appearance. There's also discussion of the TWOYL album and their stint as Editors on a Belgian newspaper, where for the first time Editors got a chance to be actual editors.
