Watch: The Last Shadow Puppets perform 'The Bourne Identity' live for the first time.

Surprising Newcastle fans, The Last Shadow Puppets chose to perform 'Everything You’ve Come To Expect' bonus track, 'The Bourne Identity', live for the first time ever tonight at their City Hall show.

I HOPE THIS MEANS THAT THEY’RE GOING TO PLAY THIS AT THEIR NEW YORK SHOW IN AUGUST!!!

Watch live footage from the performance below...

Introducing: Emilia Clarke + Sam Claflin’s film ‘Me Before You’.

Coming out on June 16th (in New Zealand cinemas) is a film that we here at Coup De Main are very excited about. It’s called ‘Me Before You’, and it stars two people you’re likely already familiar with - Emilia Clarke (yup, the Queen of Dragons herself, Daenerys Targaryen from ‘Game Of Thrones’), and Sam Claflin, who you’ll be familiar with from ‘The Hunger Games’, through his role as Finnick Odair.

First, here’s the official low-down on the film:

Watch: The Last Shadow Puppets x Big Weekend 2016.

Since The Last Shadow Puppets have failed to include New Zealand - and even Australia - in any of their 'Everything You’ve Come To Expect' tour-dates, I suppose that this excerpt from their Big Weekend 2016 set this past weekend will just have to suffice.

BBC Radio 1 won’t even let us have their full set :’(

Why is the world so against us being happy?!

As in Dr. Marten tradition, they keep things fresh every season with a range of new colourways and products to suit a range of occasions - and this season is no different.
