This came out in 2004 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):
For years, people have been wondering why you never see pictures of NoMeansNo and The Hanson Brothers together. Well, now you can.
Would We Be … Live? brings you two, two, two 2002 gigs in one from these Canadian indie-punk icons. First up are Victoria’s awesome NoMeansNo, whose bizarre hybrid of punk riffs, jazz licks, funk beats and poetry-slam lyrics keep a dingy London club crowd stoked for nearly two hours — and will doubtless have the same effect on you. Then, from a separate gig at the same club, you get a furious hour of puck-rock riffage and high-shtiking antics from The Hanson Brothers — who bear an uncanny resemblance to NoMeansNo, even with the taped-up glasses, hockey jerseys and goalie masks. Who wins the face-off? The fans.
