The series will see NME partner with studios, distributors and streamers across the world to curate exclusive free preview screenings of new theatrical, streamer and VOD releases.
Finally hitting UK cinemas on March 10, Meet Me In The Bathroom is an immersive journey through the game-changing New York music scene of the early ’00s, following bands like The Strokes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Interpol and LCD Soundsystem.
The new NME Screens series will host the first UK theatrical screening of the highly-anticipated documentary at London’s Rich Mix in Shoreditch on Thursday March 9, and will be followed by an afterparty soundtracked by era-defining ’00s bangers and with exclusive NME merch. Tickets are free and available for pre-sign-up now via DICE.
Set against the backdrop of 9/11, Meet Me In The Bathroom tells the story of how a new generation of artists kick-started a musical rebirth for New York City that reverberated around the world – and is based upon rock journalist Lizzy Goodman’s celebrated 600-page oral history of the scene from 2017.
The film version of the book, directed by Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace – who made LCD Soundsystem‘s Shut Up And Play The Hits documentary and concert movie – features interviews, live footage and never before seen archive footage from those who spearheaded the scene.
