Guided by Voices

In the live recording of 'Squirmish Frontal Room' from September 11, 2004, we find Guided by Voices in an interesting phase of their career. By this time, the band had recently released their album 'Half Smiles of the Decomposed,' which came out just a few months prior, in April 2004. This marked their final studio album before the initial breakup in 2004, highlighting a moment of creative reflection and bittersweet nostalgia. Interestingly, 'Squirmish Frontal Room' was initially recorded in 1991 for the never-released album 'Back to Saturn X', showcasing the band's unique history of reviving older material during live performances. This live set is a testament to their legacy, as fans reveled in the energized atmosphere at the iconic 9:30 Club, blending the past's charm with the raw enthusiasm of their present.
