Living Colour Brings ‘Time’s Up’ To NPR’s Tiny Desk

For Black Music Month, Living Colour hit the NPR Tiny Desk to honor the 35th anniversary of Time’s Up. Kicking off with “Cult of Personality”, the band delivered a powerful set that paid tribute to their roots in Hendrix, Motown, and Bad Brains. Even in a smaller setting, Vernon Reid’s guitar wizardry, Corey Glover’s searing vocals, and the deep rhythmic backbone of Doug Wimbish and Will Calhoun proved that volume isn’t what makes them legendary—it’s presence.
