Big Black - “Bad Penny” [1987]

Rock ‘n roll, my friends. Fucking rock ‘n roll. This is the same performance that’s on Pigpile:

Pigpile is a live recording of Post-hardcore band Big Black’s final tour in 1987. The recordings were made at the Hammersmith Clarendon concert hall, London.

I’d been pretty into punk and hardcore for 3 years when I first heard Big Black, and they still scared the living shit out of me. Great band.

Big hearts for Big Black, and really anything Albini touches. ‘Songs About Fucking’ remains one of the greatest albums ever.

    The studio version of this was my first Big Black song. My heart longed to pump black oil.
