0Tim Barry (Avail) Set To Release First Ever Live Album
Former Avail frontman Tim Barry has been doing the solo thing for over a decade and has some big news. He is releasing his first ever concert recording, Raising Hell & Living Cheap – Live in Richmond. The singer has toyed with the idea of a live album, but is finally getting around to actually releasing one. The album is going to be called Raising Hell & Living Cheap – Live in Richmond, recorded live in his hometown of Richmond, VA. Barry wasn’t aware that the show was being recorded during his 2013 homecoming show. He commented:
“I finished my tour cycle in Richmond, and about a week later, a friend was like ‘By the way, I did a four track recording of your show. I was surprised when I heard it: you could feel the ups and downs and I really liked it. Had I known we were recording something that would be heard later, it would be awful; I would sound scripted. I like that it’s an actual show from beginning to end and that it’s what I sound like without knowing I’m being recorded.”
I really look forward to this album! I’ve seen him live at Fest in Gainesville as well as Punk Rock Bowling in Vegas before (videos below), and I hope to catch him live again soon.
