In a comment by ‘ad’ in response to my post about Cog, he mentioned that they’re the best live band he’s seen. So I’ve done a bit of digging around and thanks to everyone’s new favourite website YouTube, I’ve managed to find a live clip from Cog which was recorded back in 2002, just after the release of their first EP Just Visiting Part 1. Recorded for a TV show called The Gig which airs (or used to air) on the Australian cable music station Channel [V], this clip demonstrates Cog’s great live performance and presence. You also get to see the amazing drumming skills of Lucius Borich.
The band used to always open their sets with ‘Moshiach’ and now thankfully on their current tour, they’re opening with it again. This song demonstrates the old progressive nature of Cog’s songs, and you can definitely tell by this song that the band started as an instrumental act.
