British Sea Power - Do You Like Rock Music?
| Yahoo |
| The first time Yahoo! had the privilege of seeing British Sea Power live, in 2003, the scene of David Niven crashing his Wellington Bomber into the sea in Powell and Pressburger's 1946 metaphysical classic "A Matter Of Life And Death" was projected in full onto the back of the stage. Then as an air-raid siren was cranked into life, the band emerged in uniforms of netting and tin helmets.
