THE LIME GIANTS



Classic lineup doing the song "Every Day's A Holiday," live at Ed's Lounge, 1988. Mark Deming sharpens his claws against the threadbare sofa that is basement rock, the surname "Lansing" yet to be earned through years of struggle and determination. "Ladies, you can go home with me tonight, no problem." Back then he was invincible, baby, no one fucked with Deming. That guy had it made.

PS. Found some rare Crime footage on YouTube and posted it on Frenzy of the Visible. The San Quentin stuff is fascinating mostly as history, but there's also a mysterious take of Crime blazing through "Baby You're So Repulsive" that proves how lethal they could be on stage in their prime. Just don't look up any of the recent reunion footage -- please, don't.
