Live set performed at the wonderful Sunshine & Grease record shop/performance space in Clifton Hill, Melbourne. Also on the bill this evening was Rentboy and A Band Called Life. 

Here is a review from the night:

"LCD are the best noise band in Melbourne. They're ridiculous, with a table full of electronics, bowed electric guitar no input feeding back mixing board, a couple of synths, not to mention their mason cards and dice, this duo do absurdity with flair. Dressed in matching aprons and chipmunk punk LP covers on their heads they hand out propaganda pamphlets, and gesture importantly to each other over this bizarre creeping drone music that quietly ascends into difficult pitches and noisy madness. You get the sense that their interplay is nonsense and you hope it is, but you never know. It's their 10th anniversary show. They haven't played in 2 years. It's a crime. Experimental music needs them.

LCD, or Lowest Common Denominator have been scraping the bottom of the musical barrel since their inception in the year 2000. Starting off as some sort of bad joke, LCD were determined to create a new cultural industry, but in the end that seemed like too much work. Beginning life as a three piece outfit, LCD’s ranks have swelled and waned, incorporating like minded artists into the flow, as the mood suited them. Having collaborated with Raceless (Curse Ov Dialect), Julie Burleigh, Moforahrah (Christopher LG Hill), Elf Transporter, The Frustrations, lego drummers, and many more, LCD settled into a two-piece in the mid-2000s and has been ever since. Ennio Swaggart and Elron Mancini’s eclectic madness steers the good ship LCD into torrents of sound, fragments of noise, beautiful flowers, annoying habits, interactive practices and questionable musicianship, LCD desperately try to sort the Hodge from the Podge.

Lab coats, slide shows, video screens, random instrumentation, Masonic ritual, improvised chaos, good times. Lowest Common Denominator have appeared on several local compilations, on labels such as Spill and From The Same Mother, as well as self releasing several Long Playing albums on Compact Disc. Always pushing the boundaries of sensibility, LCD attempted to perform a 12 hour show in 2004, but were shut down by the man, after our horrible noise filtered through to the stages of the comedy festival. Hilarious. Weird dancing in ATM kiosks. Psychedelic scientists. Kicking the bucket. Painting the town brown. Low frequency oscillations. Praise “Bob”. Discordian accordians. Slug love. It’s hard to be disappointed with expectations so low.
