Bad Mary released ‘Vibe-Icide’, a track from the live album, on 10th June 2025 as a preview of what to expect from the album. “It’s a song that always feels very good live, so we wanted to include it,” shares Staub. “Its success on Sirius XM has also made it a must-play for us!”
“We’ve always felt that our live performance is the true Bad Mary experience,” says Staub. “We love interacting with the crowd and feeding off their energy. ‘Live on Long Island‘ really captures that. These 16 songs represent our journey,” adds Staub, “from our first album to our newest originals — with all the live energy and crowd reactions we thrive on.”
