Suede Launch 'Best Of' at Intimate London Club Date

Suede played an intimate gig at London's Bush Hall on Wednesday, Oct. 27, to celebrate the release of the reunited band's 'The Best of Suede' compilation which is out on Nov. 1

Fresh from picking up the Q Award for Inspiration earlier in the week, the band rattled through hits from all five albums, including debut 1992 single 'The Drowners' and its B-side 'My Insatiable One.'

The 350-strong capacity crowd lapped up frontman Brett Anderson's frequent forays into the audience, something unlikely to occur at Suede's upcoming O2 Arena concert on Dec. 7.

Ploughing through nearly two-hour set, Anderson barely paused for breath -- only really speaking after 'Metal Mickey' to ask fans for requests -- before declaring next track 'Wild Ones' as "the best one" and to simply say that the show had "been a nice little gig, we'll see you in December."

Suede tentatively reformed after seven years -- with Richard Oakes replacing original guitarist Bernard Butler -- in March to perform a concert for the Teenage Cancer Trust.

Picking up their Q Award earlier in the week, Anderson admitted, 'I've really enjoyed it [the reunion]. I don't know how long we will be together for. It's not necessarily a permanent thing, I don't think.

"It's a bit on the edge and we don't really know what will be happening about it beyond the end of this year."
