Parquet Courts

In March 2013, Parquet Courts was in a pivotal moment in their career, having just released their album "Light Up Gold" the previous year. This album, which marked their breakout, established them as a fresh force in the punk and indie rock scene, melding clever lyrics with catchy riffs. The live recording from Audio in Brighton, during the last night of their UK tour, showcases the raw energy and dynamic stage presence characteristic of their early shows. Interestingly, the band was still relatively new to the national stage but quickly garnered a devoted following with their engaging performances. This tour not only solidified their burgeoning reputation but also highlighted the frenzied enthusiasm and passion of their fan base, as seen in the intimate setting of the venue. It's fascinating to think how this performance laid the groundwork for their future success, proving that those early shows were not just gigs; they were the start of something big.
