Guided by Voices

At the time of their performance at the Hopscotch Music Festival on September 9, 2011, in Raleigh, NC, Guided by Voices was riding high on the wave of their reunion that began just a year prior. They had just released 'Let's Go Eat the Factory' in January 2012, marking their return to the studio after a long hiatus. The concert at City Plaza became particularly poignant, as it was billed as their 'last show ever,' underscoring the emotional weight for both the band and their loyal fans. Known for their lo-fi aesthetic and prolific output, Guided by Voices often blurred the lines between studio work and live performances, creating a unique and raw musical experience. This performance, full of charming imperfections, captured the essence of their DIY roots, leaving an indelible mark on those in attendance.
