The forthcoming DVD from DOWN– the wonderfully titled DIARY OF A MAD BAND is now available for pre-order. It sees a release here in the UK on October 4th.

The main feature of this DVD set is a warts-and-all 2-hour documentary that follows the band members ‘tearing up Europe’ literally and figuartively. The documentary is intercut with full live tracks, selected exclusively from the band’s first two albums- the hard rock modern classic NOLA and the follow-up Down II. The tracks were filmed in various cities along the tour, including London, Paris and Hamburg and climax with their final stop on the tour- the opening slot on the Main Stage at Download Festival. The set also comes with accompanying CDs that feature a 16-track preivously unreleased concert that was recorded at the legendary London Astoria on 30th May 2006 totaling over 100 minutes of additional audio content.
