Yo La Tengo

In the live recording titled "Now 2000" from September 29, 2000, at La Zona Rosa in Austin, Yo La Tengo was riding high on the waves of their acclaimed album "And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside-Out," released just earlier that year. This album showcased their signature blend of indie rock and experimental soundscapes, capturing a moment where the band was both critically and creatively vibrant. The performance features some exhilarating improvisation, highlighting Ira Kaplan's organ freakouts and Georgia Hubley’s rhythmic prowess on the drums, reflecting the band’s ability to push boundaries in live settings. Interestingly, during this period, they were also gaining a reputation for their compelling live shows, often filled with unexpected moments and spontaneity, which is beautifully captured in this very recording.
