Life Without Buildings

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Life Without Buildings was a Glasgow, Scotland based post-punk band. Formed during the summer of 1999 at the Glasgow School of Art the band consisted of Will Bradley (drums), Chris Evans (bass), Robert Johnston (guitar), and Sue Tompkins (vocals). Their most noticeable characteristic is Sue's "talk-sung" vocals. The Rough Trade-affiliated Tugboat label asked the band to record a debut single on the label after their first London gig. Released in March of 2000, "The Leanover" b/w "New Town" secured the band a full deal with the label. The band released 2 more singles on the label. The band's debut, Any Other City, was released in 2001 in the UK; DC/Baltimore 2012 issued it months later in the States. The group broke up in 2002. In May 2007 a live album will be released called "Live at the Annandale" on the Gargleblast Records label. This will feature a previously unreleased song called Liberty Feelup.
