Guided By Voices Live Performance of The Official Ironman Rally Song and Other Tracks

Venue: The Dingo Bar Location: Albuquerque, New Mexico, United States Date: May 13, 1996

On May 13, 1996, Guided by Voices played a memorable live set on KCRW's 'Morning Becomes Eclectic,' showcasing their unique indie-rock sound. Prior to this performance, the band released their album 'Bee Thousand' in 1994, which marked a significant turning point in their career, earning them a dedicated cult following that continues to this day. This album is often hailed as a lo-fi masterpiece, establishing the band's distinct aesthetic. During this live recording, fans would experience tracks from 'Alien Lanes,' released shortly after 'Bee Thousand' in 1995. The energy and spontaneity of their performance were reminiscent of their DIY roots, emphasizing how they thrived on the stage as much as in the studio. The 'Morning Becomes Eclectic' appearance not only highlighted their unique songwriting but also captured the spirit of 90s indie rock at its finest.
