Guided by Voices
Guided By Voices Live Performance of Gold Star For Robot Boy
On June 18, 1994, Guided by Voices delivered an electrifying performance at Stache's in Columbus, Ohio, showcasing their raw, lo-fi charm that had made them underground darlings. This live recording falls right after their album 'Bee Thousand,' which came out in 1994 and is often hailed as a seminal work in the indie rock genre. 'Bee Thousand' brought them significant acclaim with its unique blend of catchy melodies and fragmented song structures, capturing the fervor of their live shows perfectly. The recording is part of a bootleg LP titled 'Crying Your Knife Away,' reflecting the band's grassroots appeal and passionate fanbase. Interesting tidbit: by this point in their career, Guided by Voices had begun to embrace a more eclectic sound, often experimenting with song lengths and recording techniques, which was evident in their energetic yet intricately constructed performances.
