"East Hastings" is a 1997 song by the Canadian rock band Godspeed You! Black Emperor from the album F♯ A♯ ∞ and is perhaps best known for its use in the film 28 Days Later in an edited version.[1][2]
The song is named after East Hastings Street in Vancouver's blighted Downtown Eastside.[3]
During an interview with The Guardian, 28 Days Later director Danny Boyle explained, "I always try to have a soundtrack in my mind [when creating a film]. Like when we did Trainspotting, it was Underworld. For me, the soundtrack to 28 Days Later was Godspeed. The whole film was cut to Godspeed in my head."[1]
The song does not appear on the 28 Days Later: The Soundtrack Album because the rights for song could not be obtained.[1]
