Higgins Waterproof Black Magic Band: “Mad Lifeline,“ Live On soundcheck

Hear the entire session and interview: Late last year, TV On The Radio’s Tunde Adebimpe and Brooklyn-based drummer Ryan Sawyer (Lone Wolf and Cub) unveiled a project called Higgins Waterproof Black Magic Band. The group, named for a brand of ink, just released its self-titled EP. And while many will call this a side-project of Adebimpe, this is very much a band with brooding and groove-driven songs. Watch Adebimpe and Sawyer, along with guitarist Alex Holden (Big Numbers) and bassist Josh Werner (Lee “Scratch“ Perry, CocoRosie) perform “Mad Lifeline“ in the Soundcheck studio.
