Parquet Courts

On June 12, 2013, Parquet Courts delivered a memorable live performance of "Stoned and Starving" at the Doug Fir Lounge in Portland, shortly after the release of their third studio album, "Light Up Gold." This album was pivotal for the band, showcasing their signature blend of punk energy and introspective lyrics, which helped them gain significant attention in the indie rock scene. An interesting tidbit is that "Light Up Gold" was initially self-released before drawing in a broader audience through critical acclaim and word of mouth. The energetic atmosphere of the Doug Fir, combined with the raw edge of their live sound, encapsulates a moment when Parquet Courts was on the cusp of wider recognition, setting the stage for their subsequent growth and experimentation.
