Living Colour With Daniella Cotton

Saturday, December 3, at the Beachland Ballroom.

Living Colour's 1988 debut, Vivid, is precisely the sort of release music writers hail in retrospect as seminal. The cross-breeding of rock, funk, and hip-hop so common nowadays can find a key piece of its beginnings in the path cut by four black New York City rockers, whose balls-out sound, built around the wails of guitarist-bandleader Vernon Reid, developed concurrently with the big town's burgeoning hip-hop scene.

Much of Living Colour's lyrical content mirrored rap's growing sense of street politics, and Vivid included a collaboration with Public Enemy' s Chuck D. and Flavor Flav. The band's high-octane brew was also laced with first-rate pop instincts, evidenced by tracks such as "Glamour Boys" and the band's signature tune "Cult of Personality." Vivid went multiplatinum, snagged a Grammy, and kicked off a run of five releases and much praise from fans and critics, which lasted till 1995. A reunion in the new century resulted in 2003's Collideoscope. The band updated its electronics, and while it emerged more lyrically pessimistic than ever, was sly enough to cover "Back in Black." And Reid's side projects since then have proved he's still a monster.

Potential Heads up re: Buffalo, NY show set times

according to the Soulive message board, here's what someone had to say re: the set times : Town Ballroom in Buffalo, NY: Living Colour at 8:30pm, Soulive at 11pm.

Soulive and Living Colour are co-headliners so...take it with a grain of salt.
Regardless, get there early and don't miss Danielia Cotton!

Healing rock

Singer Corey Glover, center, of the band Living Color performed last week at Mo Pitkin’s on Avenue A at a benefit for Carrie Beehan, a member of the Federation of East Village Artists whose leg was seriously injured in an accident during the HOWL! Festival. Beehan had been setting up a festival event in a community garden when a wheelbarrow loaded with slate left by an inconsiderate gardener tipped over onto her leg. (TM Stevens on the left)
