There are two periods of Shriekback live. 

 

The first was a 5 piece 'blokes' band deeply infused with post-punk squatter chic, but the second was an 8 piece band with percussion and backing singers (purveyors of blatant showbiz featuring a bald man in an enormous golden cape who wanted you to clap your hands).  

 

This album is a live bootleg from the artistic peak of the band's 'showbiz' period. Rehearsed, routined and road-hardened to the max. This is Shriekback being as entertaining as they knew how (which, strangely as it turned out, was plenty).

 

CD in digipak with 4 page booklet.
