Suede surprised fans by playing a secret London club show last night (Monday September 5), performing new album ‘Autofiction’ in full under the pseudonym ‘Crushed Kid’.Rumours of the show spread after NME obtained photos of gear being loaded into the intimate 300-capacity London venue with the words ‘SUEDE LONDON’ branded on the carrying cases.

Ticketing website Dice noted that Moth Club was hosting the debut show from unknown act Crushed Kid, who are also set to perform at The Deaf Institute in Manchester this evening (September 6).The latter venue describes Crushed Kid as a “brand sparkling new post punk band”. ‘Crushed Kid’ could also be viewed as a synonym for ‘Suede’.With tickets sold out, fans gathered at Moth Club before Suede promptly took to the stage at 9pm and burst into recent single ‘She Still Leads Me On’.A post shared by Mikaela Rennerfelt (@mikaela.rennerfelt)“We are Crushed Kid,” said frontman Brett Anderson as he greeted the audience. “Thank you for coming.

We love you so much.”After the punky rush of ‘Personality Disorder’ and recent single ’15 Again‘, Anderson noted the intimacy of the venue and said: “It’s fucking loud, and it’s fucking hot.

We’ve got a long way to go”.Later introducing ‘What Am I Without You’, Anderson said: “This next song is quite special. I wrote it about you.
