[audio] Skinny Puppy live in Los Angeles, 2023

 Skinny Puppy’s final show. It’s not a proper recording that I normally do. It’s just a bootleg, but I fixed it up as much as I could. Some details in the liner notes-

[audio] Skinny Puppy live in San Francisco, 8 July 1992

Skinny Puppy live on the Last Rights tour, San Francisco, 1992. Back when they were at the height of their darkest, most nightmarish noisescape industrial style. And of course, back when Dwayne was still alive. RIP Dwayne.

Board tape (stereo! no distortion!) landed in my lap recently. So it sounded pretty great in the first place, but as with everything, it needed some substantial work.

For major reconstructions like this, I’ll go so far as to reverse engineer some group multi-track stems (drums, bass, vocals, synths) to give me more control over everything. Definitely the right choice with this one, as the final mix sounds mind-blowing. Especially after I added in crowd sounds.

Unfortunately, this isn’t the complete show. They opened with Addiction and Love in Vein. Addiction didn’t make it onto the original recording at all, and only the last past of Love in Vein did.

Also, Dirty Tricks was actually the first song of the encore, following Left Handshake. The song they played after Dirty Tricks, Testure, for some reason fades out right in the middle of it in the original recording, so I wasn’t able to use that one, either.

Luckily, I was able to save Dirty Tricks by making it the show intro into The Choke.

All love and respect to cEvin, Nivek, and everybody else involved with the band.

[audio] Not Breathing with cEvin Key live in Los Angeles, 9 February 2011

Not Breathing with special guest cEvin Key live at the El Rey, Los Angeles, 9 February 2011.

This was when NB opened for Meat Beat Manifesto. Special guest cEvin Key of Skinny Puppy sat in with NB. I couldn't tell you what parts he played or what synths he played, but he was out on stage, jammin' along for the entire performance.

I originally gave this recording to Dave, the main guy in NB, shortly after the concert, and he put it up on Bandcamp for a long time. But I see now that he must have taken it down at some point. But I contacted him and he gave me the OK to put it here on my concert recordings blog, so enjoy.

cEvin Key of Skinny Puppy dj set with Dre Robinson on drum pads and other synth noise makers,  live at CELEBRATE EVERYTHING at Complex, Los Angeles, 29 March 2014.

I’m pretty sure this was just a dj set with no actual live music played. cEvin was on a laptop and Dre had a bunch of stuff working, so I can’t be 100% sure.
