“Crackle
is excited to expand its music content and is thrilled to feature such a
highly praised music series such as FROM THE BASEMENT,” said Eric
Berger, Executive Vice President,
Digital Networks, Sony Pictures Television. “This authentic original
series features extremely talented musicians with loyal followings and
we are honored to bring their performances into our viewers’ living
rooms.”
FROM THE BASEMENT
is the brainchild of multiple creative talents including multi-Grammy
winning record producer Nigel Godrich. Long-time Radiohead producer
Godrich launched the series originally in 2007
alongside producers Dilly Gent, James Chads and John Woollcombe. Since
then, the show has attracted increasing attention for its breadth of
vision coupled with its hugely respectful and empathetic presentation of
artists playing at the peak of their power.
Produced by this
small group of dedicated individuals, the show has always aimed to focus
on definitive live performances from some of the most creative and
innovative artists of our time.
The show has
previously featured exclusive performances from a diverse selection of
musicians including Radiohead, Beck, Iggy and the Stooges, PJ Harvey,
Jarvis Cocker, The Raconteurs, Fleet Foxes, The
White Stripes, Queens of the Stone Age and Sonic Youth.
Hailed by media
as “a new breed of music show” and “music TV at its best,” the new
season of FROM THE BASEMENT on Crackle will be comprised of twelve,
26-minute installments that are being filmed in Los
Angeles and London.
All music in FROM
THE BASEMENT is produced by Nigel Godrich. Dilly Gent, James Chads,
John Woollcombe and Godrich are series producers. The series is produced
by FTB3 for 3net in association with Sony Pictures
Television Networks. Sony Pictures Television is distributing the
series internationally, outside of the U.K.
