KICKED OFF NORTH AMERICAN TOUR 2010 LAST NIGHT WITH POWERFUL SHOW AT
CLUB NOKIA IN LOS ANGELES
BAND SCHEDULED AS THE FINAL PERFORMERS ON THE COACHELLA OUTDOOR THEATER STAGE THIS FRIDAY NIGHT WITH 80-MINUTE SET
In its review, SPIN.com went on to say about PiL, whose line-up includes guitarist Lu Edmonds, bassist Scott Firth and drummer Bruce Smith:
“From the set's opening number–the band's biggest hit, 1983's ‘This Is Not A Love Song’–PiL held a firm grasp on the audience's attention with Lydon's spasmodic dancing and monstrous bursts of scream-singing. The band played old songs like ‘Rise,’ ‘Death Disco,’ and ‘Flowers of Romance.’ Edmonds slashed his way through the riff-heavy songs as Firth unleashed hard-hitting baselines on tracks like ‘Sun’ and ‘Warrior.’ PiL exuded a sincere joy, which translated to…both the sold-out crowd of 2,300 fans — both young music lovers and old school rockers–who danced and moshed, eager to act out the punk days of the past. Coachella fans take note: PiL's performance Friday night at 11:20 PM at the Outdoor Theatre is not to be missed.”
