Yo La Tengo

In July 2009, when Yo La Tengo played 'Sugarcube' at the Pitchfork Music Festival in Chicago, they were enjoying a creative high. Just a year earlier, in 2008, they released the album 'Popular Songs,' which showcased their eclectic sound and exploration of various genres. This performance was part of Pitchfork's Write the Night series, a unique event that allowed fans to influence the setlist. Interestingly, 'Sugarcube' remains one of their fan favorites, embodying their signature mix of indie rock and experimental sounds. What’s cool is that Yo La Tengo are known for their dynamic live shows, often blending catchy melodies with spontaneous jams, perfectly capturing the essence of their live energy during this festival set.
