(York-AP) ? One of the biggest rock bands of the 1990s has mended fences with its hometown.
Live will play its 20th anniversary show Friday at the Strand Theatre and will return September 11th for a concert at the York Fair.
The quartet of singer Ed Kowalczyk, bassist Patrick Dahlheimer, drummer Chad Gracey and guitarist Chad Taylor reached Number One on the Billboard Top 200 album chart with the 1994 release 'Throwing Copper.' But the band has had icy relations with the city of York.
In the late 1980s, the four, then known as Public Affection, were allegedly booed off the York Fair's stage during a battle-of-the-bands event. On 'Throwing Copper,' Live included an unflattering song about its hometown, whose title consisted of the word 'town' tacked onto an expletive. "
Ah yes, the infamous "Shit Town". Well, if anyone's ever *been* to York, they would agree!
