Pulp

In 2012, Pulp was riding a wave of renewed interest following their reunion tour, which struck a nostalgic chord with fans across the globe. Before the Pomona performance, they had released their critically acclaimed album 'This Is Hardcore' in 1998, which defined the Britpop era with its sharp lyrics and experimental sound. By the time they performed 'Like A Friend' live at the Fox Theater, the band was basking in the glow of their legacy, showcasing both classic hits and newer material from the 2012 festival circuit. This era marked a delightful return for the band, transforming their live shows into a celebration of an era that intertwined both melancholy and energy. Interestingly, 'Like A Friend,' with its poignant themes of longing and bittersweetness, resonated deeply with audiences, proving Pulp's knack for capturing the essence of human experiences, even years after their peak.
