about

Grapefruit Year Four Series, Records 1-4 (2014)

A follow-up to the immense Armed Courage is not easy, but The Twelfth Spectacle comes as close as anyone would hope The Dead C to achieve. This four LP set collects live recordings from the past decade by a band whose infrequent performances have become part of their legend. Captured herein is the band at their most dynamic, oblique, challenging and consuming. Each LP has its own title and origin. To wit:

Arena: Recorded at La Dynamo Pantin, Paris and Les Ateliers Claus, Brussels, April 2013

Arena Part 1

Side Two

Permanent LSD: Recorded at Luminaire, London, December 2006
