Urge Overkill -- when it comes to live performance, I've always thought of
them as Urge Overrated. Though I thought they made some fine records,
particularly SATURATION and a couple of their Touch & Go releases, they were
a pretty poor live act, sloppy as all get out. I saw them a few times with
bands like Jesus Lizard and Didjits, whose incredible performances made UO's
look even sadder.
The one thing I would like to know is if this is the true Urge lineup with
Blackie, Nash and King Roeser, or if it's just Nash trotting out a new
version...still, 45 minutes of The Shazam is worth a full price ticket in my
book.
