Mission of Burma

On March 12, 1983, Mission of Burma hit the stage at the Bradford Ballroom in Boston, delivering a stunning live rendition of 'Trem Two.' Just a year prior, they released their iconic album 'Vs.,' which solidified their place in the post-punk scene. This live performance beautifully captures the raw energy and experimental spirit that characterized their sound during this pivotal moment in their career. Interestingly, the band was on the cutting edge of using feedback and dissonance, elements that are strikingly present in this performance. Their innovative approach not only defined their unique style but also influenced countless bands that followed. The live version of 'Trem Two' showcases their ability to merge chaos with melody, a hallmark of Mission of Burma's artistic identity at the time.
