Built to Spill

In July 2007, when Built to Spill performed live at the Metro Theatre in Sydney, they were in the midst of promoting their album "You in Reverse," which was released in April 2006. This album marked their return after a five-year hiatus and showcased a more polished sound while retaining their signature indie rock style. The live recording from this period captures the band’s dynamic stage presence and their ability to blend intricate guitar work with engaging melodies, a hallmark of Built to Spill's music. Intriguingly, the band often encouraged a spontaneous feel in their live performances, frequently extending song lengths and exploring improvisational elements. Furthermore, Doug Martsch, the band's frontman, has been known for his introspective lyrics and unique guitar playing, which are key elements that fans appreciated during their live shows, as evidenced in their performance of "Strange."
