Quick Hits – December 2003

Dada: Live: Official Bootleg Volume I

After a four-year hiatus from both recording and touring, L.A.’s power-pop trio Dada has now officially resurfaced. They recently finished an extensive national tour in support of their newly released, first-ever live CD, which was recorded in Santa Ana, California this past July.

Live: Official Bootleg (Vol. 1)

The 11 tracks on this disc showcase the band’s strong songwriting skills, including popular hits such as “Dim” and “Dizz Knee Land,” as well as high-impact versions of fan favorites such as “Dust,” “Feel Me (Don’t You),” and “Dorina.” The energy of a live Dada show is realistically captured on this recording, and ample proof is provided that the band is picking up where they left off in 1999, both instrumentally and vocally. A studio CD of brand-new Dada material is scheduled for an early ’04 release. In the meantime, Official Bootleg Volume I allows the listener to experience the band at its finest: in a live setting, performing some of the best songs of their career so far. (MU)
