Pulp

In March 1991, Pulp was riding a wave of creative resurgence thanks to their 1992 album 'Separations.' However, before 'Separations,' they released 'It,' their 1983 debut, which struggled to find its footing. This period was pivotal for Pulp; they were honing their unique sound and lyrically rich storytelling, often drawing from their own experiences. The performance at The Leadmill showcases their pre-fame raw energy and excitement, capturing a moment just before they exploded into the Britpop scene. Interestingly, it was during this stage that frontman Jarvis Cocker began to define his iconic stage presence—mixing charisma with a touch of awkwardness. Fans today appreciate this early glimpse into Pulp's evolution, as the band would soon find massive success with later hits like 'Common People' and 'Disco 2000.'
