Parquet Courts

In June 2018, when Parquet Courts performed live at The Ready Room in St. Louis, they were riding high on the success of their album 'Wide Awake!', which had just been released a month earlier. This album showcased their ability to blend punk, funk, and intellectual lyrics into something refreshingly unique. Fans were treated to that zesty energy in their performance of 'Master Of My Craft' and 'Borrowed Time,' both tracks exhibiting their knack for marrying catchy rhythms with thought-provoking themes. Interestingly, this era marked a slight shift in the band's sound, as they leaned into more experimental sounds with nods to disco and art rock. It was a pivotal moment for them, capturing a band that was creatively evolving while still delivering the raw, exhilarating live experience that they are known for. This performance stands as a testament to their growth and connection with the audience, lit up by their vibrant stage presence.
