Built to Spill

Built to Spill was at a significant point in their career during the live recording at the 40 Watt Club on October 24, 1998. This performance came shortly after the release of their critically acclaimed album, "Perfect from Now On," which had debuted earlier that year. The album solidified their reputation within the indie rock scene and showcased their evolution towards more complex songwriting and elaborate arrangements. By this time, Built to Spill had established a loyal fanbase, and their performances were known for their energetic renditions of songs, often extending them with improvisational solos. Interestingly, this live recording captures the band at a moment when they were beginning to experiment with the dynamics of their sound, hinting at developments that would culminate in their future albums. The 40 Watt Club, a vital venue for alternative music, made this performance particularly special, as it has hosted many influential artists throughout its history.
