About

Living Colour, the American rock band that deftly combines heavy metal, funk, jazz, hip-hop, punk, and alternative rock, recently delivered a powerhouse Tiny Desk concert performance. The band, formed in 1984, is known for their Grammy-winning hit "Cult of Personality" and has released six studio albums. Their socially conscious lyrics and diverse musical style have earned them critical acclaim and a loyal fanbase.

The Tiny Desk concert showcased Living Colour's intense energy and musical prowess at a slightly lower volume without losing any of their signature intensity. The band, led by guitarist Vernon Reid and vocalist Corey Glover, delivered standout performances of their iconic songs, including "Cult of Personality" and tracks from albums like Vivid and Time's Up.

Throughout their career, Living Colour has had significant milestones, including winning Grammy Awards, iconic performances on Saturday Night Live and Lollapalooza, and collaborations with musical legends like Mick Jagger. The band disbanded in 1995 but reunited in 2000, releasing new music and thrilling audiences worldwide with their live performances.

Living Colour's legacy as "funk metal pioneers" and their impact on the music industry is undeniable. Their continued relevance was highlighted by a recent performance at Rock in Rio in Rio de Janeiro, where guitarist Steve Vai joined them on stage for a rendition of "Cult of Personality." The band has also announced plans for a seventh studio album, promising more music to come from this legendary group.
