What their label says...
On the Scottish Gargleblast label, run by producer Andy Miller (Mogwai, Arab Strap, Fratellis etc.). 'Live At The Annandale Hotel' is a live set recorded in Sydney Australia, during Life Without Buildings' 2002 tour. LWB tragically split up soon after the tour, leaving as their legacy only one stunning album on the Rough Trade subsidiary Tugboat Records. Life Without Buildings drew influences from Talking Heads and other proto- and post-punk bands like Television, ESG, and early PiL, featuring jerky/martial rhythms, sparse instrumentation, and sung/spoken vocals. The critically acclaimed 'Any Other City' album has now achieved cult status five years after its release, gaining praise from current acts such as Maximo Park amongst others. Eagerly awaited by LWB fans, this live album, mastered from an incendiary performance at Sydney's famous venue, is a hugely important document of a band whose sound, although impossible to imitate, has influenced so much of today's cutting edge music
