After two years in the COVID wilderness it has been great to have VIVID back with us again in Sydney. So I was pretty excited to venture along to the Sydney Opera House on Tuesday night for a show. It was my great pleasure to see the trio Liars in action. Led by Australian Angus Andrew this band has been a constant force overseas for many years. Their brand of electronica and post punk is both powerful and persuasive. They played in the Studio, an intimate space, perfectly suited for a great live show. The band leaned heavily on last year's excellent 'The Apple Drop' but still had time for a good selection of older tunes as well. Of the newer songs 'Sekwar' was my favourite, whilst 'Scissor' sounded as good as it ever did. The band, in their dapper white jumpsuits, were as good as ever. A great pleasure to see them and have live music back in our lives.
