Parquet Courts

On October 26, 2013, Parquet Courts delivered a remarkable live performance at La Maroquinerie in Paris, showcasing the chaos and creativity that defines their sound. This recording features 'Stoned and Starving,' a standout track from their album 'Light Up Gold,' which was released earlier that year in February. By this point in their career, Parquet Courts were gaining significant traction in the indie rock scene, known for their clever lyrics and unique blend of punk and art rock influences. Interestingly, during this period, the band’s commitment to a DIY ethos was evident, as they frequently self-produced their music. This live session not only captures their raw energy but also reflects their rapid evolution, foreshadowing the acclaim they would soon receive. Fans at the venue were likely treated to an unforgettable experience, immersing themselves in the pulsating sounds that would soon resonate far beyond Paris.
