LIVE DEAD

In case you forgot, after nearly two years in suspended animation, what the exhilarating madness of a rock 'n' roll tour looks like, we present this triumphant tableau of Emily, Sean and Siouxie of Warner's Dead Sara backstage at the Bowery Ballroom, along with hardDrive XL's Mark Abramson (in blue, throwing goat) and Warner VP Rock & AAA promo David Ravikoff (masked). The occasion was the amp-shredding band's first NYC show in more than three years, and the feeling of catharsis is tangible. Later, everyone partied hard with some tiny bottles of mountain spring water.
