(ENGLEWOOD, NJ) — Bergen Performing Arts Center (bergenPAC) presents Extreme & Living Colour on Wednesday, January 24, 2024 at 8:00pm. Tickets range from $45-$105.
With the force of a Boston wrecking ball, Extreme swing between unapologetic fits of fret-burning hard rock and intimately introspective balladry. This dynamic affirms the iconic multiplatinum Beantown quartet – Gary Cherone (vocals), Nuno Bettencourt (guitar), Pat Badger (bass), and Kevin Figueiredo (drums) – as one of rock’s most unpredictable, undeniable, and unbreakable groups whose songs course through the very fabric of popular culture.
Formed in 1985, the group’s quiet grind resulted in the release of the self-titled Extreme in 1989. Among many highlights, “Play With Me” not only graced the soundtrack of Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure, but also the season 4 opener of Netflix’s Stranger Things. Meanwhile, Extreme II: Pornograffitti bowed in the Top 10 of the Billboard 200 and eventually picked up a double-platinum certification. Of course, it notably spawned “Hole Hearted” and the generational smash “More Than Words.” The latter soared to #1 on the “Hot 100” and remains one of the most popular rock songs of all-time with over half-a-billion streams and 633 million YouTube views and counting.
Living Colour formed in 1984 and is comprised of guitarist Vernon Reid, lead vocalist Corey Glover, drummer Will Calhoun and bassist Doug Wimbish (who replaced Muzz Skillings in 1992). With lyrics touching on the personal and political, their unique sound is a creative fusion influenced by heavy metal, funk, jazz, hip hop, punk, and alternative rock.
The group hit the scene in 1988 with its debut album Vivid. Their hit “Cult of Personality” won the Grammy for Best Hard Rock Performance in 1990 and is used as the entrance theme for wrestler CM Punk.
