Anything is possible when anarchist indie rockers LTK (濁水溪公社) take to the stage. At Spring Scream two years ago they launched fireworks into the roof of the onstage tent and invited fans to mutilate a mannequin. They then released their first album in four years, Ten Yai Chi Tou Lang (aka LTK Commune IV, 天涯棄逃人), arguably the best in their 16-year history. Before that, LTK were known more for their biting political satire and onstage antics than for their musical ability. Now they have three new members and have mastered an impressive range of new styles, including power pop, lounge and acid jazz, to go along with their old repertoire of punk and nakashi. They perform tomorrow night at Underworld with Children Sucker (表兒). Get there early or you might end up standing in the back. * Underworld opens at 8pm. Bands take to the stage at 9pm. * Entrance is NT$300. * 45 Shida Rd, Taipei (台北市師大路45號B1). Call (02) 2369-0103 or visit www.underworld-taipei.blogspot.com for more information
