Produced by Ken Thomas (of Sigur Ros fame) and composed by GAHAN and multi-instrumentalist Knox Chandler, PAPER MONSTERS thrills with a variety of inspired music: from the rock-star bravado of "Dirty Sticky Floors" and "Bottle Living," to the quiet awe of "Stay" and the pulsing "I Need You."   GAHAN is backed on the LIVE MONSTERS DVD by guitarist Chandler, bass player Martyn Lenoble, keyboardist Vincent Jones and drummer Victor Indrizzo. Chandler's credits include playing on Depeche Mode's EXCITER album, as well as discs by R.E.M. and Siouxsie and the Banshees. Lenoble has played with Porno for Pyros and Janes Addiction; Jones has recorded with Sarah McLachlan and Cowboy Junkies; Indrizzo has worked with Beck, Macy Gray, The Vines and Liz Phair.   LIVE MONSTERS highlights include the album's singles; "'Dirty Sticky Floors," "I Need You" and the double A side songs "Bottle Living/Hold On." Additionally, the DVD features an assortment of fan favorites, including "Walking in My Shoes," "Personal Jesus" and "Never Let Me Down Again."   The press were equally enthusiastic about DAVE GAHAN live: "Gahan appears to be having the time of his life" - The Guardian "The unabashed mix of fun and passion, blood, sweat and tears would have broken down the resistance of even the most entrenched Mode-phobe" - The Independent   LIVE MONSTERS Track Listing Hidden Houses Hold On Dirty Sticky Floors A Question of Time Bitter Apple Black And Blue Again Stay A Little Piece Walking in My Shoes I Need You Bottle Living Personal Jesus Goodbye I Feel You Never Let Me Down Again   LIVE MONSTER Extras Acoustic set from radio promotion appearance: Dirty Sticky Floors Bitter Apple Black And Blue Again   close window   © 2003-2004 JJSR Productions Inc. 2003.
