The Creatures – You! (Live) – The Sound Of Indie

I love Siouxsie And The Banshees, but I’ve always preferred The Creatures. “Boomerang” has to be one of my favorite records of all time. They put on a fantastic live show, but unfortunately I didn’t get to see them on their Boomerang tour. This song was recorded on the French video show “The Big World” in 1989. I have a fantastically horrible video of that performance, but someone else sent me a much better copy of the audio from that show. They performed this song and “Standing There” in front of a studio audience.

I saw Jason perform three times, in 2004 (Charlottesville), 2006 (Baton Rouge), and 2007 (New Orleans). I spoke with him on two of those occasions. (More...)

In March of 2012 Stephen Merrit released the best Magnetic Fields album since 2004's i. The album features songs with classic Stephin Merritt charm and benefits from vast improvements in production over recent releases.

Thanks for this good quality gem. I’m excited to get my new live Creatures CD in the mail now from this era. It’s a bit overpriced, but I’m sure it’ll be worth it. If anyone is interested check out this link. I’m not a worker just a big fan. http://www.thecreatures.com/creatures/discography/?view=221
