The Pineapple Thief announce ‘Nothing But The Truth’ livestream

THE PINEAPPLE THIEF have announced a special livestream!

Titled Nothing But The Truth, the special livestream from the British progressive rock band will broadcast on April 22nd from 18:00 UK time and will be available on demand until 18:00 UK time on April 26th. Tickets for the livestream are available now and can be purchased here.

Having released their latest studio album Versions Of The Truth in September last year, the band’s worldwide touring plans to support the release of the album had to be put on hold, but the band were eager to be able to still perform for and connect with their fans across the globe and so the idea for a full band performance event was hatched.

Speaking about the livestream, vocalist/guitarist Bruce Soord says, “I’ve always said that THE PINEAPPLE THIEF is equally about the studio and the stage so it was obviously disappointing that we haven’t been able go out on tour especially as we were excited to be able to perform the new album Versions Of The Truth live for everyone. So being able to do this film, especially under the circumstances, was invaluable.

We all knew we did not want to shoot a film of us standing on stage staring at an empty room. We wanted something special, something ‘cinematic’. So, together with George Laycock (from Blacktide Phonic/Visual who has filmed all our recent music videos) we hatched a plan. It was a lot of work for one show. But it was worth it. And it was great to be playing in the same room with the band again. We ended up making something unique and something very, very special that I am proud to have been a part of. I can’t wait for people to see it.”

Drummer, Gavin Harrison adds, “Nothing But The Truth is a highlight for this band in terms of captured performance. After many months of planning and rehearsal we went to a top sound stage studio and recorded the show that we were meant to do in COVID times (but had to cancel). Filmed and recorded in the highest quality under controlled circumstances it does represent the band and the songs in a way that is so different to a ‘live gig’ or ‘live album’. We thoroughly enjoyed the process of making it and hope you enjoy this one-off very special event. Fans can expect to see THE PINEAPPLE THIEF at their very best performing songs from across their illustrious catalogue including for the first time live, the new album Versions Of The Truth.”
