The Metal Underground
Yeow! I haven’t yet gotten hold of their debut album Vivid, but I caught NYC’s Living Color at a club last weekend and they were astounding. Real heavy, real funky, unpredictable (they encored with the Clash’s “Should I Stay Or Should I Go?”), with chops, chops and more chops acquired from years of avant-jazz work and Lord knows what else.

Yeow! I haven’t yet gotten hold of their debut album Vivid, but I caught NYC’s Living Color at a club last weekend and they were astounding. Real heavy, real funky, unpredictable (they encored with the Clash’s “Should I Stay Or Should I Go?”), with chops, chops and more chops acquired from years of avant-jazz work and Lord knows what else. Living Colour have every mark of Big Success on ’em and could well kick the door in for other heavy-duty black rock ’n’ roll bands, an idea for which time seems poised.
