From my experience, a bit of both. I have seen them play complete improv, and I have seen them play songs from their albums that sound the same (just y'know, live).
They are a tremendous and very unique live band.

43NOT CRAP for the song "Bitcher" alone.
One of those bands that took me a bit to enjoy, but once I found my way in, there was no going back.

44This isn't Dead C... but a documentary about Dunedin music in the early 80's. At 1 minute-ish Michael Morley appears in a very dodgy sweater/haircut/glasses combo. Also has a very small clip of Wreck Small Speakers On Expensive Stereos

Thanks for the link! Great to see... plus a very young and quaffed Alastair Galbraith... nice.

47The records of the Dead C make for a powerful talisman against the kind of mediocrity that has pervaded fans of rock music and convinced them that CocoRosie is, in fact, a good band.
Don't ask me to explain it. This all makes sense in my feeble, feeble brain.
NOT CRAP

48The Dead C - Future Artists
In their first new album since 2003's The Damned and last year's two-cd greatest hits behemoth, Vain, Erudite & Stupid, New Zealand's The Dead C return with another uncompromising realisation of the finest rock improvisation you'll ever hear. Future Artists contains five tracks of genius drone and barbarous clashing sounds. From the first track, "The AMM of Punk Rock" through to the last, "Garage", their intensity is unyielding, their inventiveness jaw-dropping. It's been twenty years, and The Dead C show no sign of losing their ability to express the surreal and undefined. Long may they prosper.
HELLO!

Presumably a song about Borbetomagus.
