Parquet Courts

On February 22, 2018, Parquet Courts performed "Total Football" live at the Boardwalk's Cocoanut Grove in Santa Cruz, showcasing their energetic blend of punk, art rock, and infectious melodies. Leading up to this electrifying performance, they had just released their album "Wide Awake!" in 2018, which was well-received for its tight songwriting and vibrant instrumentation. Notably, this album marked a significant moment in their evolution, featuring a more rhythmic sound that nudged fans to engage with the socio-political themes embedded in their work. This live recording captures the raw essence of their sound, allowing fans to experience the powerful connection between the band and the audience. Plus, isn’t it fascinating how a live venue can amplify the already dynamic energy of a band like Parquet Courts and turn an atmospheric set into an unforgettable experience?
