Parquet Courts

In March 2013, Parquet Courts delivered an unforgettable performance at Mellow Johnny's Bike Shop during SXSW, right after releasing their critically acclaimed album 'Light Up Gold' in 2012. This album marked a defining moment in their career, showcasing their unique blend of punk, indie rock, and art rock influences, which resonated well with fans and critics alike. Songs from this live set, such as 'Master of My Craft' and 'Yr No Stoner,' reflect the band's lyrical wit and experimental sound that fans have come to love. Interestingly, the band has often used their hometown of Brooklyn as a backdrop for their music, weaving in experiences that mirror the vibrant, chaotic energy of city life. This live recording captures not only their raw sound but also the palpable excitement of performing for an Austin crowd during one of music's most vibrant festivals.
