Guided by Voices

In June 2014, Guided by Voices was in a vibrant phase of their career, having released "Motivational Jumpsuit" earlier that year, which marked their burgeoning return after a hiatus. This album, filled with that razor-sharp lo-fi sound they've become known for, includes tracks that showcase the band's eclectic charm and Robert Pollard's distinctive songwriting. It's fascinating to think that by the time this live performance of "Gold Star for Robot Boy" was recorded at the Showbox in Seattle, the band was riding high on a wave of momentum, rejuvenated and connecting deeply with their fan base. It's a reminder of how live performances can encapsulate the energy of an era, underscoring the band's enduring relevance in indie rock. Pollard and the crew, with their playful yet haunting melodies, really brought the house down that night in Seattle.
