For this post, I’m going to be offering up my own top 10 moments (with video evidence courtesy of YouTube!), of Massive Attack performing live from their birth as a live band in the mid-nineties, up until last year’s controversial Adam Curtis co-production.

I think if your on this site, reading this now, then Mr. Davidge doesn’t need much of an introduction – he’s been the man behind the curtain with regards to Massive Attack, for near enough two decades now, quietly getting things done in the studio co-writing and producing alongside D&G. He’s been a integral part of the band in that time, not desiring any of the spotlight that usually comes with being in a world renowned outfit, such as Massive Attack, even though it looks like that’s finally about to change.

Just a quick post, that the first clutch of live dates for Massive Attack’s 2014 summer tour have been released. So far they are all festival dates around Europe (Iceland’s in Europe, right?), but I would suspect they will also be doing their own self-contained shows as well.

Just when I started thinking that 3D’s Battle Box project had quietly been abandoned since it’s inaugural 12″ single last November, he’s just gone a spun the new track from it on us, in what promises to be an ongoing series of new material.

If your reading this, then there’s good chance you’ve heard the news that 3D is to release an art book (a visual companion, if you will) on the history of Massive Attack. I think it’s an exciting prospect for many fans, since he’s teased it quite often in interviews in the least few years, and to many fans (myself included), the band’s visual identity has made almost as big an impression as their music down through the years.

While alot of fans (including myself) eagerly await the upcoming Massive Attack V Adam Curtis shows this summer, in the interim anyone in London this May or June may want to take note of a special one-off exhibit by Massive Attack’s 3D that will be taking place at the Lazarides art gallery.

Branded “Fire Sale”, the exhibit will be a career spanning showcase of Robert Del Naja’s artwork from his early 1980′s graffiti on the streets of Bristol to his more recent screen prints from the Heligoland album and everything else in between.

It’s cliche to say Massive Attack’s music has got somewhat of a cinematic edge to it. As if its the music to a film that has yet to be made. At least that’s what I keep reading in countless interviews with the band.

And I guess the claim that there is a filmic quality to their music is given alot more credibility when you consider just how many times its been licensed for film and TV. So for this blog post I’m going to be listing some of my favourite uses of Massive Attack’s music in the movies.
