Liquid Liquid live in NYC

Legendary 80s outfit Liquid Liquid played in New York a few days ago, at the Lincoln Center alongside a performance by Rhys Chatham with 200 guitars, more here. If you know Melle Mel's 'White Lines', you know Liquid Liquid - thats their tune that got sampled by Melle Mel (with no subsequent credit or monies...)

review snip... "The members of Liquid Liquid haven’t been playing together regularly for more than 25 years. They reunited at NYC’s Knitting Factory in 2003 and got together again last October at the Barbican Centre in London. But they sounded amazingly tight and the crowd responded enthusiastically.

All four band members seemed energized and totally engaged — thrilled to be performing before an appreciative hometown crowd. The sound was crisp and the beats were just as hypnotic as the day they were created. People in the audience who saw Liquid Liquid in the Eighties were amazed that the players had barely aged and hadn’t lost a bit of their drive." review and photo from Will You Miss Me When I'm Gone?
