Solucien put this track on at Jimmy's Birthday Party this weekend, and I was reminded of what a terrific band XTC was from the word go. Here's Statue of Liberty from their 1977 debut album White Noise.
STATUE OF LIBERTY
Solucien mentioned this live clip from the Old Grey Whistle Test, remarking how incredibly tight and confident the band was for their age. Just a couple of years down the road, though, Andy Partridge was struck with stage fright and the band stopped playing live. They have not returned to the stage since.
