Live 1981-82

by The Birthday Party

Live 1981-82 cover art

Assembled from shows in London, Bremen, and Athens, this posthumous release captures the Australian post-punk pioneers at their most terrifyingly visceral. Driven by Rowland S. Howard's screeching guitar feedback and Nick Cave's unhinged, violent vocal performances, the album serves as a definitive document of the band's chaotic, blues-infected noise rock phase.
