Liquid Liquid

Early-80s band on the legendary [url=http://www.discogs.com/label/99+Records+%282%29]99 Records[/url] label. Often namechecked because of the track "Cavern" from which parts were replayed by [a=Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five] for their hit single "White Lines". Liquid Liquid were originally a much more experimental sounding band called [a4559502] who released one 7" before reforming as Liquid Liquid and basing their sound around a much more percussive framework. They would invite members of the audience to bring their own percussion to their gigs and at one of these, they were so impressed when [a=Dennis Young] brought a marimba that they invited him to join. They developed their own unique sound which they called 'big beat' (a term some English producers would use more than a decade later for something entirely different). Liquid Liquid still exist and worked together with [l=DFA] on new material.
