The Live Artex, a record that captures the energy of Damn Arms' electrifying live shows honed with the focus of a partnership forged on the belief that keyboards sound better when they're attacked rather than played. Not surprisingly, it's loud, catchy and just a little abrasive. Some call it synth-punk, others new-rave. Damn Arms just call it what they do. The Live Artex still needed a little polish, though. So it went off to mixer Kevin "The Caveman" Shirley, who emailed the band his compliments from London, where he was working with Led Zeppelin on the deluxe re-release of their famous 1976 feature film The Song Stays The Same. He sent the album back from his home in Malibu, bigger, better and at least on a few tracks, even more sinister than before. The songs bristled with edgy, late-night menace.
