Sheffield heavy hitters While She Sleeps have recently shared an extended cut of the documentary of their record, ‘So What?’ which was released on 2019.
The extended version, premiered last weekend including a watch session which featured a live chat with their fans as it was being aired.
In December 2019, the band played two nights for a limited number of fans to watch at their warehouse. Due to the ongoing isolation, the band have released the footage to give something more to their fans.
Mat Welsh (Vocals, Guitar) has said:
“We wanted to make this documentary to shed some light on the real world of Sleeps. We didn’t want to make something that made things look better or more glamorous than they really are. We just wanted a fly on the wall capturing the rollercoaster that is making an album. It’s a process that never comes easy for us, and ‘SO WHAT?’ was no exception.
We filmed for 7 months and, like with everything, it got condensed down into something that was digestable within a mere hour. So we thought it could be fun to make an extended version and show it to our fans at some kind of DIY movie night, hosted at our warehouse last December. The night was really special, there’s something beautiful about everyone watching something at the same time, experiencing the emotions together.
But those times of events and group gatherings seem like a world away, so we thought it could be cool to do this in a digital way, giving our fans something fun to look forward to. A means of being together while we’re all apart.”
