Neutral Milk Hotel
Neutral Milk Hotel Live at 40 Watt Club, Athens, GA
In October 2013, Neutral Milk Hotel took the stage at the iconic 40 Watt Club in Athens, Georgia, marking a significant moment as it was part of their reunion tour. This performance came almost two decades after their groundbreaking album, "In the Aeroplane Over the Sea," which they released in 1998. Interestingly, during this particular live recording, frontman Jeff Mangum reflects on the nostalgia of returning to such a memorable venue, suggesting it felt like time travel. The band, known for its unique blend of lo-fi indie rock and deeply personal lyricism, hadn't performed together regularly since the late '90s, making this reunion even more special for fans. Their return to Athens, a city so integral to their history, resonated as a powerful reminder of their enduring influence in the indie music scene.
