Guided by Voices

In August 2001, Guided by Voices was riding high on the wave of their acclaimed album, 'Isolation Drills,' which had dropped just a few months prior in April. This album marked a significant moment in the band's evolution, showcasing a more polished sound while still retaining their signature lo-fi charm. At the Pukkelpop Festival, the band's performance of 'Shocker in Gloomtown' and 'I Drove a Tank' captured their energetic essence and the charm of their live shows. Interestingly, this performance came during a pivotal time for the band, as they were transitioning into a phase with more mainstream recognition, yet still embraced the DIY spirit that initially set them apart. Fans appreciated the raw, organic feel of their live sound, creating a memorable experience at the Domein Kiewit that day.
