There are definitely a few issues when it comes to live albums. For one, you can’t see the band. And when said band is known for their showmanship, and I put the emphasis on “man” here, you kind of lose everything the band is known for. However, if you’ve seen Tim Harrington before—stripping, tearing up stuffed pandas, rubbing his nipples—then you’ll have the upper hand while you’re listening to the new Les Savy Fav live album, After the Balls Drop, which is due out for digital release on April 29, 2008.
The tracklist for the album includes some original favorites, like “Sweat Descends,” but also features a grip of covers, including CCR's "Hey Tonight," Nirvana's "Sliver," Misfits' "Astro Zombies" and Pixies' "Debaser." So, if you need a refresher course on the scaffold-climbing, pants-removing frontman, they have a few live dates in April.
