Live at Last (The Slickee Boys album)


Live at Last is a live album by The Slickee Boys. It was released in April 1989 on the New Rose label on LP and CD; in the US it came out on Giant. Coinciding with the release of their album Fashionably Late, in May 1988 the band embarked on a brief tour of Europe. Live at Last is a document of one night on that tour, at Ubu in Rennes, France. The CD version of this album contain two extra tracks, "Your Autumn Eyes" and " Love-In". They perform songs from all but the earliest part of their twelve-year career, including the band's last original song, "This Party Sucks". Cover versions include songs originally by the French punk band the Dogs, the Status Quo, the Afrika Korps, and The Chocolate Watch Band. Not long after their European tour, founding member Kim Kane departed to focus on his other band, Date Bait. He was replaced by long-time roadie/sound guy/guest vocalist John Hanson until the band's farewell show in December 1990.
