The true story of acid house masters Bill Drummond and Jimmy Cauty is so bizarre and outrageous that perhaps it’s too unbelievable to be a real movie. Here’s a band that once burned all the copies of their debut album in a Swedish field, wrote a book on how to simple it is to have a number one single, burned £1 million in actual money in yet another field, performed a version of one of their songs with grindcore band Extreme Noise Terror at a British award show where Drummond fired blanks from a machine gun, dropped off a dead sheep at the after party of said award show, and, perhaps most brazenly, retired from the music business at their artistic peak and the height of their fame and deleted all of their albums from sale. And to top it all off, they put out some incredible music and influenced much of what was to come in European electronic music through the next twenty years. Now that EDM is at its peak, now’s a good time as any to make a film out of its most unusual stars.
