One of the most beguiling portrayals of an individual in recent cinematic history, Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait is a football film like no other. Using 17 cameras, the film tracks the legendary French midfielder Zinédine Zidane throughout a 2005 Spanish league match at Madrid’s imposing Bernabéu Stadium — on and off the ball, in the thick of the action and on its periphery. The result, from directors Douglas Gordon and Philippe Parreno, is a dramatic, hypnotic and deeply beautiful depiction of one of the world’s finest footballers performing on one of the sport’s grandest stages. The film’s soundtrack was composed by Mogwai — and for the first time, the band will be performing it live alongside the movie in a series of three UK concerts beginning with the World Premiere of the event at Manchester International Festival ‘13. The Glasgow quintet have built a deserved reputation for the fearsome intensity of their live shows, and this show at the incredible new concert site 220 Broomielaw offers a rare chance to see them in action in a very unique setting.

A massive thanks to all the staff working in Record Store Day shops on Saturday and thanks also to those of you who queued to buy records and support your local stores.

It was pretty disappointing to see a handful of copies of our 7" with Bill Wells & Aidan Moffat end up on ebay but hopefully the majority of them went to people who wanted them. In case you missed out but still want to hear the tracks we're streaming them via the Rock Action soundcloud which you should be able to find here.

Hope you all had a great day and remember that these stores stock great records every day, not just one Saturday in April so please keep supporting them.

We'll be playing in Edinburgh on 8th August as part of a bill that includes Sheena Wellington, Kathryn Williams, King Creosote, James Yorkston, Alasdair Roberts and Ian Rankin. Full details (tickets, info) can be found by clicking here.

We're pleased to announce that our Rock Action Records label will be releasing an exclusive ltd 7" for Record Store Day in the UK this year. Limited to 500 copies it's a coloured 7" featuring a L.Pierre remix of 'Special N' and a Mogwai remix of Bill Wells/Aidan Moffat's 'The Copper Top'. As it's a Record Store Day release this is an exclusive 7", it won't be repressed so once it's sold out, that's it.

There will also be a Rock Action sampler that we'll be giving away for free on RSD as well (subject to availability etc).

Mogwai perform their soundtrack to Zidane, A 21st Century Portrait live for the first time at Manchester International Festival.
