Genre-busters and convention-breakers Living Colour and Soulive both have histories of treading uncharted musical territory. On Friday (Dec. 2), these two renowned acts will share the stage for the first time. In the mid-1980s, Living Colour’s combination of funk, hard rock and jazz allowed the group to make a significant impact on the alternative music scene. In the band’s heyday, between the late ’80s and early ’90s, the group won two Grammys and sold over four million copies of their albums Vivid, Time’s Up and Stain (Epic). After breaking up in 1995, the band reformed and released CollideØscope (Sanctuary Records) in 2003. In the early stages of its career, groove-trio Soulive successfully fused elements of jazz, funk and r n’ b on its critically acclaimed albums Doin’ Something and Next (Blue Note Records). Since then, the group has dabbed its musical paintbrush in a palette of many styles including hip-hop, acid jazz and soul. The band’s recently released CD, Break Out (Concord Records), provides yet another new chapter in the group’s ongoing musical evolution.
Friday, December 2 at 8pm. Town Ballroom, 681 Main St. (852-3900). $20-23
