Mission of Burma

In November 2009, when Mission of Burma took the stage at KEXP Studios in Seattle to perform 'Laugh The World Away,' they were riding a wave of renewed energy that had surged since their comeback. Their previous studio album, 'The Obliterati' (2006), had been well-received, marking a triumphant return after a lengthy hiatus. This live recording added to the momentum, showcasing their post-punk sound that's both sharp and melodic. What’s particularly fascinating about this performance is how it encapsulates the band's fearless artistic approach, blending intricate lyrical motifs with raw energy. Their ability to resonate with both old fans and a new generation highlights the timelessness of their music. This live set wasn’t just a performance; it was a celebration of their enduring legacy and the raw power of their innovation.
