Guided by Voices

In June 2014, when Guided by Voices performed "Tractor Rape Chain" at Rock the Garden, they were in a phase of re-emergence following a lengthy hiatus. The band had reunited in 2010 and released the album "Cool Planet" just prior to this performance on May 14, 2014. "Cool Planet" marked their first release of new material in several years, showcasing their continued evolution in a lo-fi rock sound that fans had come to love. This live performance at a prominent festival highlights their enduring popularity and the resurgence of their classic style. Notably, "Tractor Rape Chain" is one of the band's most recognized songs, originally featured on their 1994 album "Bee Thousand," which is often hailed as a cornerstone of the indie rock movement. The 2014 performance underscores the band's ability to remain relevant and invigorate their classic repertoire while connecting with both longtime fans and newer listeners.
