Guided by Voices

On August 8, 2018, Guided by Voices delivered a stellar performance at Saturn in Birmingham, showcasing their iconic sound and songwriting prowess. At this point in their career, the band had recently released their album 'How Do You Spell Heaven' earlier that same year. This album marked yet another prolific moment for the band, following their revitalized output after reuniting in 2010. It’s a fascinating era for them, filled with both nostalgia and innovation. The energy in the live recording of 'Tractor Rape Chain,' a classic from their 'Bee Thousand' album, exemplifies their ability to engage with fans while blending their historic catalog with newer material. Interestingly, this show also highlighted the band's DIY ethos, especially in a venue that resonates with their indie roots, proving that even decades into their career, Guided by Voices is as vibrant and captivating as ever.
