It has been announced that "The Stone Roses: Made of Stone," a documentary film about The Stone Roses, who are scheduled to perform at Sonic Mania and Summer Sonic in Tokyo and Osaka this weekend, will be released in Japan this fall.

The film closely follows the band from just before the press conference announcing their reunion in October 2011 to their outdoor concert in their hometown of Manchester, which drew 220,000 people from June to July of last year. It is directed by Shane Meadows, an avid Stone Roses fan.

The film is not objective, but rather portrays the band from Meadows's fan's perspective, including comments from the band members leading up to their reunion, rehearsals for their first live show in 16 years, the suddenly announced free concert, and their passionate performance at the outdoor concert. Ahead of its Japanese release this fall, the film will have its premiere at SUMMER SONIC. It will be screened at the Tokyo venue late at night on August 10th. The Stone Roses are a four-piece band formed in Manchester, England in 1983. Their sound, which combined the uplifting energy of dance music with the dynamism of rock, sparked the Manchester Movement. Their debut album, "The Stone Roses," released in 1989, is considered one of the most representative albums of the 1980s. Although they released their second album, "Second Coming," in 1994, the band disbanded in 1996 due to deteriorating relationships between the band members. Vocalist Ian Brown and guitarist John Squire pursued solo careers, while bassist Mani joined Primal Scream. However, the band announced a reunion in October 2011. In 2012, they resumed live performances, headlining festivals around the world, including Fuji Rock Festival.
