Cabaret Voltaire 25.10.1980 Berkeley

Cabaret Voltaire was established in 1973 by Richard H. Kirk, Stephen Mallinder and Chris Watson. They started as industrian outfit influenced by dada movement, Burroughs and Gysin. Their first EP "Extended Play" was released in 1978. Band's music evolved into more danceable sounds. Chris Watson left the group in October 1981 to form The Hafler Trio. Later Cabaret Voltaire started experimenting with electro and pop. Band broke up in 1994.

Excellent stuff! There simply ain't enough of this stuff on the 'net - prime period Cabs' live tapes are VERY hard to come by. I've posted a direct link to this (with due acknowledgement), hope that's OK with you? Many thanks for posting, etc...

Thanks for the kind words. This Cabs tape is honestly one of the best I've ever heard by them - any idea where it originates (i.e. was it recorded professionally, etc)? Thanks again for sharing... x
