Since listening to Never Cry Another Tear, I have been wondering if BL will be using keyboards live onstage, since a few of the songs are fairly keyboard heavy.

BL recently posted a new bio and live line up on their website as this:

BAD LIEUTENANT ARE:

Bernard Sumner - Vocals/Guitar

Stephen Morris - Drums

Phil Cunningham - Guitar/Keyboards/Vocals

Jake Evans - Vocals/Guitar

Tom Chapman - Bass

So I suppose Phil will be doubling on Guitar and Keyboards like he did in New Order.

Which I am happy about!

Which songs are 'keyboard heavy' then Zachery?

I'd have thought the album was pretty much keyboard-lite! :shrug:

They use a keyboard to get the lyrics onto the autocue.

Poisonous Intent, Walk on Silver Water, This is Home, Summer Days on Holiday, Dynamo, and Twist of Fate all have synth parts.

Twist of Fate has the least, just some synth washes that come in at the end, those could be but on a backing track for live purposes.

Dynamo has both programmed arppegiated synth parts and parts that sound like they could be played live.

The second half of This is Home is keyboard heavy, with big, dark, bassy string parts.

Summer Days on Holiday has piano parts over the intro and keyboard parts in the outro.

Walk on Silver Water has lots of string pads, melodies, and piano parts.

Poisonous Intent is obviously the most synth heavy and New Order-esque song on the record, live drums combined with progammed ones, and huge synth washes and melodies during the last half of the song.

So I am just happy to see that at least a few of those songs might have live keyboards on them in concert, played by Phil.

And I would imagine he might play keys on whatever NO or Electronic songs they do.

And if this post seems boring, well, I was bored at work.
