They sound exactly like their band name. Living Colour’s music is as prismatic and vibrant as heavy-rock gets. The band’s sound drew from guitar greats like Jimi Hendrix, but also punk underdogs like Bad Brains and rap talents like Public Enemy.

And four decades after bursting onto MTV with their 1988 hit single “Cult of Personality” and into stadiums as the opening act for The Rolling Stones’ “Steel Wheels” reunion tour, Living Colour remains potent. This year, the band is touring with eclectic ‘80s rockers Extreme, thrilling fans of enduring virtuosity and songcraft.
