Life without buildings - New Town (live)

[@botant500]

A criminally overlooked band. Their live album is a masterpiece.

[@stormyeux]

their lyrics feels like when you read or hear a random sentence and your brain keeps randomly repeating it through the day

[@huskvnj]

I read she listened to teenagers on buses etc I've done the same thing myself, Song writing is fun, Read Brian Enos on a far away beach... if You are creative & in a slump it will set your imagination on fire. Peace

[@stormyeux]

@@huskvnj thanks for the recommendation!!! this sounds amazing

[@huskvnj]

@@stormyeux Thank you for an immediate reply & interest! Wow. If you're into how Bowie & Eno made albums & the creative comradery they shared, it's a must! I even recommend this book to non creative people, I was buzzing after every chapter. I had to write a song after reading some sentences or paint a picture, it's that good. Inspiration Hello! ha ha Would also like to add "the william Burroughs cut up technique" was actually Paul Bowles, Burroughs just developed it, Bowie made it great & here we are ha ha One of my favourite parts of the book is when Bono from U2 is trying to get ENo to do a second album & Eno is like "Ugh not this asshole again" LOL Have a creative day Stormy :)

[@stormyeux]

@@huskvnj as a very inspired and creative person, creative processes are always something that interests me, especially coming from brilliant artists like that, so i appreciate!! i think it's beautiful to read into someone's mind and interpretations, have a creative day you too :)

[@huskvnj]

@@stormyeux Thanks stormy, I am just happy people like you are out there. I love LWB, I got into them too late like most. I don't know where you are from but I am English & I live in Sweden now, I used to listen to John Peel radio show & "TAPE" bands, & make tapes for my friends, way before I became a musician. I'm 53 now, had a record deal, had my fun & now just make music at home...I started making music at home in 1987... I didn't have a clue waht I was doing I was just in love with sound & 4 track tape recorders! ha ha I wish you success, but please make music YOU like & F everyone else, if it's good, they'll come :)

[@WiseMogwaii]

Probably one of the most uncoverable bands. Love their music so much

[@davidleerow]

Such explosive, youthful energy riding off that energy of the 90s. Loved this period of indie rock.

[@LauritZenc]

It feels so surreal to finally be able to see some live footage of LWB. And at such a timely moment in my life.

[@sundriedolive]

Laurit my friend I hope you're doing well

[@LauritZenc]

@@sundriedolive Thanks Olive, I'm well.

Omg I know right!!!! Scoured KZbin for them beginning of the covid - nada!

[@lordotori9063]

Loooking in your eyes loooooking in your eyes

[@dissident31]

The Fall, Blue Aeroplanes and Life Without Buildings - what a gig that would have been!

[@N0_WAY]

I’ve been wanting a video of them for 15 years now….

[@matthewwatson9305]

This song is 100% genius

[@TinshipTravels]

Came here after watching Amyl and the Sniffers on Jools holland, They reminded me so much of this band.

[@sethklayson7804]

I just did the same thing!

[@131]

music really doesn't get better than this. this band is so special

[@mucous-membrane]

Where has this footage been all this time? It's so good. Seriously. Every Scottish person I know, I ask if they ever saw Life Without Buildings. What's the history behind this footage?

[@gomey70]

Amazing, love this. Sue Tompkins is a treasure.

[@sundriedolive]

My favourite song of all time

[@jjjjermie]

like Dry Cleaning, these 2 bands are so unique their unorthodox approach is so appealing to me

[@benjelinek5318]

Dry Cleaning is great, one of my favorite working bands. But Life Without Buildings is def a step above, they made something incredibly special, legendary and timeless.

[@jjjjermie]

@@benjelinek5318I don’t completely disagree with you but I feel the one thing that LWB has over DC is they have are around longer so they have more of an impact. Both equally unique just slightly different styles imo

[@stormyeux]

i used to listen to this everyday almost a year ago, and now it feels nostalgic somehow

[@LauritZenc]

I used to listen to this everyday from 1998-2002!

[@stormyeux]

@@LauritZenc woah that's so cool!!! i wasn't even born yet!!!

[@makkietakkie]

wow, i was getting into them in like January, and now there's live footage all of the sudden! this is a good day!!

[@stormyeux]

same

[@-Deena.]

🧡 One of my favourite albums ever. It never gets old 🧡

[@miltonrickman]

one of my top 3 songs prolly all time . but i would do anything to be in this room. or to hear any of these groups songs live novody will ever do it like them.

[@stephenkerr1529]

Steve Lamacq just played this on his Radio 6 show and I came straight here thinking I’d found some great new band. Only to discover this is 20+ years old!! I suppose all music is “new” if you’ve never heard it before….

[@Finngrinder]

My best band from 2021/22 was Maudlin of the Well who disbanded in 2003. Found them in late 2021 though I knew their successor Kayo Dot exists

[@stephenkerr1529]

@@FinngrinderMust go check them out! 😊

[@cpavan17]

That's how you know when a band is timeless!

[@Hyron-j2z]

One the best and underrated bands of all time ,sue is a genius ❤❤❤

[@mjmquinn7507]

they don't make em like this anymore/ever ... outstanding

[@tvrment]

Dry Cleaning? Black Country, New Road? Porridge Radio? Girl band? maybe you like them, too :)

[@mjmquinn7507]

@@tvrment Thanks, i check them out

[@Adrianovaz2007]

I was gonna mention Dry Cleaning. Maybe listen to Algebra Suicide too! (Just don't listen to BCNR, it's a band of wankers)

[@Cedrou21]

Just so cute how she jumps around

[@timneave3240]

Such a joy to find these clips of this brilliant band.

[@fullcollapse703]

Thank you god

[@danielwilson6529]

So underrated

[@dylan_1884]

You can say that again, I am so happy

[@RRFTB]

One of my all time favorite songs. 🖤🏆🖤

[@boet764]

Absolutely love Sheldon Cooper on guitar!

[@xForbin99]

I always thought I was the only lwb fan that ever existed. Thanks for this!

[@Sidley1960]

LWB burned so bright for such a short time and I heartbroken that they never made another album other than the live record. I don’t think that they ever came to the U.S.

[@fozzyami]

Absolute treasure! Despite being a fan since their first single, I never got to see them live.

[@TheMonolake]

Man please. Please put this on the radio PLEASE !!!

[@noya1660]

I love this song so much.

[@cordial]

Dry Cleaning should be paying them royalties.

[@matthewdowton3369]

This song and band is pure adhd stimming 🥰

[@gy4bg-iz8wq]

Hah loveit

[@alabastercodefy5636]

Oh joy! Live footage of LWB. This hade made my decade

[@ijustwannaleaveacommentony6511]

wow it almost sounds exactly like the record. may be my favourite ever track, definitely top four. and the leanover by LWB is in there too

[@TheMonolake]

Real real good...inovative and unique want more

[@tremblynge4806]

Waited years and years to see this. Actual out of body experience watching it

[@krruns4165]

Was lucky enough to see them supporting Hefner at Northumbria Uni around 2000. I was (and still am) a big fan of both! Interesting rumour that the lyric in LWBs tune "Sorrow" ("don't smoke in the bed with me") was a direct reply to Darren Haymans lyric in the Hefner tune "Hymn for the cigarettes" ("I love it when the girl smokes in my bed"). Amazing times x

[@hardeealex]

Thanks for posting this. Sue's delivery is incredible.

[@ItzamnaCuicatl]

i cant belive this. thanks thanks again and again. this is amazing

[@Grrizo]

Wow! I just found this. Never knew there was live footage of this band!

my heart is exploding

[@EphemeralBalconist]

The first time I ever saw a not one single downvote on a video with any upvotes, although given the song Im not surprised. Awesome.

[@bakkermaarten007]

the singer is so cute, how she's so tiny, jumpy with big baby eyes and her voice is so naively beautiful.

[@Calavera336]
