Parquet Courts

In August 2013, Parquet Courts performed at Pickathon, just a few months after the release of their album 'Light Up Gold' in February of the same year. This album was a pivotal moment for the band, capturing the lo-fi, punk-infused aesthetic that they became known for, while also showcasing their sharp lyricism and distinctive sound. The live performance at the Galaxy Barn is a reflection of their raw energy and connection with the audience, a glimpse into the dynamic nature of their music during this formative period. Interestingly, 'Light Up Gold' later gained critical acclaim, leading to broader recognition for the band, which ultimately helped pave the way for their evolving musical journey. It's fascinating to see how their performances during this time contributed to their reputation and artistic identity in the indie rock scene.
