Parquet Courts

In September 2013, Parquet Courts performed a memorable set at An Club in Athens, showcasing their raw energy and distinctive sound just following the release of their critically acclaimed album, 'Light Up Gold,' which came out earlier that same year. This album marked a significant moment in their career, propelling them into the indie rock spotlight. 'Light Up Gold' was not just a collection of tracks; it was a statement—a blend of punk, art rock, and clever lyrics that resonated with listeners and critics alike. The band's fearless approach to music, along with their blend of humor and angst, made their live performances, like the one in Athens, dynamic experiences filled with infectious energy. Interestingly, the track 'Stoned and Starving' from this album came to be a fan favorite, and hearing it live at this recording captures the band at a pivotal time in their creative evolution.
