Like all great live records, Law of Karma Live: Fake Shit Wins But Not Tonight captures a moment in time, offering a glimpse of the unique energy of this eight-piece Self Defense Family lineup at their best.
Recorded across three shows, produced & mixed by Jon Markson (Drug Church, Drain, Koyo, One Step Closer), the album draws on 11 songs from across their sprawling catalog, along with a cover of Neil Young's "On The Beach," and plenty of endearing stage banter from vocalist Patrick Kindlon (also of Drug Church).
Formed in 2003 as End of a Year and then eventually changing their name in 2010, Self Defense Family have charted a path unlike any other band. Led by Kindlon with a revolving lineup of talented players, the band feels like a cross between a creative collective and one man's deeply personal lifelong project. Available as a limited edition double LP with stunning artwork from Mike Sutfin, Law of Karma Live: Fake Shit Wins But Not Tonight is a must-have for longtime SDF fans and the perfect jumping on point for the uninitiated.
