2009 — Bernard put the band (TACK>>HEAD) together, and calling them Bad Dog, played shows in Austria and Germany in the Fall and Winter of 2008. The next year Bernard released “New York Time” (song/video), and did a one off show at the Highline Ballroom in New York City, Bernard’s hometown.

Linda Zacks is a contemporary artist, author, art director, and graduate of Brown University and the Rhode Island School of Design. Her powerful visual storytelling style (part paint, part poetry) hopscotches between every medium, blurring distinctions between commercial projects and fine art along the way. Growing up outside of (and throughout) the U.S. shaped her mixed-media approach to creating “art.” Nothing in her aesthetic (old wood, torn paper, rusty metal, ink, duct tape, Polaroids, digital conversations, video), goes unnoticed, or unused.

2016 — Corey Glover ending Living Colour’s set at the Freedom Sounds concert, ending the day that began with president Barack Obama speaking to open the Smithsonian Institute’s long-awaited Museum of African American History and Culture. 

September 24, 2016 — Living Colour was invited (with PUBLIC ENEMY and THE ROOTS) to play the opening of The Smithsonian Institute’s Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington D.C. The FREEDOM SOUNDS  concert that included Public Enemy and The Roots, followed president Barack Obama’s speech, dedicating the long awaited opening of Washington’s newest museum.

Moved by the alarming frequency of gun violence in America, and it so often being against young, unarmed black men by an overly militarized police force, Living Colour released “Who Shot Ya?,” a Biggie Smalls cover, recorded for its (yet-to-be-released) Shade.

And Now? Post-Obama? After-Trump? … Living Colour’s first shot across the right-wing bow was the release of Shade. in 2017.his time the band’s own “Freedom of Expression” is a vociferous fight to defend another (1st) Amendment to the United States Constitution that finds itself under a relentless, “Make America Great Again,” sanctimonious attack.
IN THE BEST OF WAYS, Living Colour is the same kick-ass, rock n roll band from New York City, Kick-Ass band, that with a little help from fan Mick Jagger, exploded onto the world stage in 1989. The same aggressive band that’s never been shy to howl at the establishment moon. “Back In The U.S.S.R.”*
