Or simply - a story of brothers on a mission to make noise…to ignite the peoples souls and blow-up sound systems worldwide…that’s fukin what! This film will be made with the same integrity that our music is - uncompromising, raw and honest…This one’s for Keef!” “After the devastating passing of our brother Keef in 2019, the time feels right for us to tell the story of our band, all of it, the whole 9 … It’s a story of the chaotic and troubled journey of our gang, our band, the peoples band - The Prodigy. “We are making a band documentary film…so fukin what?” Maxim and Howlett says in a joint statement. Production is expected to begin this spring. No release date has been announced for the doc, the first major project from The Prodigy since longtime member Keith Flint died by hanging in March of 2019. The Chemical Brothers tweeted, “so sad to hear about Keith Flint, we played many gigs with the prodigy over the years and they were always friendly and supportive.he was an amazing front man, a true original and he will be missed.Keith Flint of The Prodigy Was the Face and Voice of America's '90s Electronic Boom Flint also sang three tracks on the Prodigy’s most recent LP, 2018’s No Tourists. Flint’s role expanded for 2011’s The Day Is My Enemy, co-writing three tracks and singing on seven. The singer would play a prominent part on the Prodigy’s 2009 album Invaders Must Die, appearing on five tracks. Howlett would later disown the track and drop it from The Fat of the Land‘s 2004 follow-up Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned, which featured guest vocalists in place of Flint. That lyric was spot-on.”įollowing a five-year recording hiatus at the peak of their popularity, the Prodigy and Flint released the 2002 single “Baby’s Got a Temper,” whose lyrics penned by Flint celebrated the “date rape” drug Rohypnol. He’ll build things up in his head until he’s on the edge of going mad. ‘I’m the self-inflicted mind detonator’ - that’s him. Howlett said of Flint at the time, “He’s got not a cent of common sense, but he’s actually really intelligent. If you like energy, if you like attitude, if you like tough beats with black rhythms with a bit of soul and a bit of realness, come and check out the Prodigy.” ‘The latest electronic explosion from the U.K.!’ That ain’t us. It’s another package you can buy if you want to buy it and maybe impress your mates for a week - that would come, and that would go. “As soon as we heard electronica, we were gone,” Flint added of the group, which emerged out of the U.K. That is the punk-attitude, DIY aspect of the Prodigy.” If I could get a mike and just go, ‘Fuckin’ hell! Fuckin’ hell!’ I would do it. Yes! Fuckin’ hell! Rockin’! Just yelling at each other, dancing away. From the party scene, when a tune came on and it was your tune, I wanted everyone to know it was my tune. “I’ve spent six years expressing myself with my body, shouting with my body,” Flint told Rolling Stone in 1997. Soon after, Flint appeared on the cover of Rolling Stone, and his carnivalesque punk look and frantic dance moves inspired the “Weird Al” Yankovic parody “ Lousy Haircut.” Originally recruited to serve as the dancer by the Prodigy, Flint became the voice and face of the group for 1997’s The Fat of the Land, which produced the hits “Breathe,” “Firestarter” and controversial “Smack My Bitch Up” on both sides of the Atlantic The Fat of the Land reached Number One on the Billboard 200 in July 1997.
