MC5

In October 2018, during a live performance at KEXP, MC5, now known as MC50, showcased their enduring legacy with a rendition of "Rocket Reducer No. 62 (Rama Lama Fa Fa Fa)." This performance comes as part of a celebration of the 50th anniversary of their influential debut album, "Kick Out the Jams," which was originally released in 1969. By the time of this live recording, the band had reformed as MC50, with founding guitarist Wayne Kramer leading a new lineup that included some notable musicians, highlighting the band's commitment to both their historic roots and contemporary music scene. This performance exemplifies their pioneering role in rock music, particularly in the development of punk. The KEXP session reflects their continued relevance and their contribution to the genre over five decades, resonating with both longtime fans and new listeners alike.
