Yo La Tengo Live Cover of This Is Where I Belong on KCRW
In June 1995, Yo La Tengo performed a captivating cover of 'This Is Where I Belong' by The Kinks at the Alligator Lounge in Santa Monica during a live session for KCRW. This period followed the release of their acclaimed album 'Electr-O-Pura,' which featured their signature blend of dreamy soundscapes and heartfelt lyrics. Interestingly, 'Electr-O-Pura' further solidified their standing in the indie rock scene, showcasing their knack for experimentation and emotional depth. By this time, Yo La Tengo had developed a loyal fan base, and their live performances were known for their immersive atmosphere, often blending original material with unexpected covers. The Kinks' influence on their music is palpable, making this rendition not just a tribute, but also a nod to their eclectic musical roots.
