Guided by Voices

In June 2011, Guided by Voices performed 'Hot Freaks' live at McCarren Park during the Northside Festival, a testament to their enduring legacy in the indie rock scene. This performance came shortly after their 2010 album 'Let's Go Eat the Factory,' which marked a significant reunion for the band, reuniting their classic lineup. The album was their first in nearly a decade, showcasing their distinct lo-fi charm and clever songwriting that fans had missed. Interesting tidbits around this era include the band's notorious, prolific output and their infamous live shows, which often feature spontaneous and energetic performances, capturing the essence of their raw sound. So, here they were, diving back into the spotlight, reminding everyone why they were once considered a seminal act of the '90s indie movement, and how they effortlessly bridged the gap to a new generation of listeners.
