'Building Babylon at the Bayou' showcases some of the earliest live performances from Bad Brains, even pre-dating the band's 1982 self-titled debut. A snapshot of the band's burgeoning beginnings, these recordings from 1980 and 1981 recorded at The Bayou in Washington DC, were captured between the band being unofficially 'banned in DC' and relocating to NYC. This is the first non-jazz release by newly formed Time Traveler Recordings. Transferred from the original tapes and mastered by legendary producer Don Zientara, famous for his work with Minor Threat and Fugazi, amongst others. Featuring a booklet with liner notes by Washington Post critic Chris Richards and testimonials from Ian MacKaye, Henry Rollins, Jello Biafra, Vernon Reid, John Joseph as well as previously unseen photographs and ephemera.
