Perhaps the most misunderstood band to record for Factory Records, The Royal Family and the Poor remain for many an (oc)cult enigma, releasing only four albums in two decades, and rarely performing live after 1984.

A lost classic, highly recommended for fans of Joy Division, New Order, Section 25, Durutti Column, Death In June.

* First vinyl reissue for the 30th year anniversary

* Collectible limited edition of 500 copies

* First 100 COPIES comes with facsimile booklet * Mannequin Records exclusive only *

Michael Moore has called it ‘one of the best documentaries about a band that I've ever seen’ and now Dogwoof is delighted to announce that Mistaken for Strangers will be screened as part of the East End Film Festival with a live Q & A.

If you're living in the U.K., you really have lots of luck...

Mistaken for Strangers will screen at Hackney Picturehouse on Saturday 14 June at 6.30pm followed by a special on stage Q & A with Tom Berninger and Matt Berninger which will be broadcast live via satellite to 57 participating cinemas nationwide.

Mistaken For Strangers will also be released in theatres outside the U.K.

Recorded in Austin and produced by Salim Nourallah, 'Most Messed Up' also features guest appearances by Tommy Stinson (The Replacements, Guns N' Roses) and Jon Rauhouse (Neko Case) on lap-steel.

Titles like ‘Wasted,’ ‘Intervention,’ ‘Wheels Off,’ ‘Let's Get Drunk & Get It On,’ and ‘Most Messed Up’ hint at the kind of narrators frontman Rhett Miller likes to inhabit - men who possess an appetite for indulgence and won't let a few bad decisions get in the way of a good story. The magic in Miller's songwriting lies in the depth that he lends his characters. Upon closer inspection, the hard partying and endless pursuit of a good time often reveals itself to be a Band-Aid covering up deeper wounds and emotional scars. "There's a lot of darkness hidden in this record," Miller explains.

The Old 97's emerged from Dallas twenty years ago at the forefront of a musical movement blending rootsy, country-influenced songwriting with punk rock energy. 'Most Messed Up' follows their recent two-volume set, 'The Grand Theatre,' which found the band as "lifers writing for keeps," according to Rolling Stone, and their 2013 EP featuring Waylon Jennings, 'Old 97's & Waylon Jennings.'
