Guided by Voices

In June 2014, Guided by Voices was riding high on the release of their album 'Cool Planet,' which came out just a month prior. This period marked a significant phase in their career, seeing the band returning to their lo-fi roots while still capturing the explosive energy fans loved. The live performance at Crescent Ballroom in Phoenix on June 15 showcased their knack for spontaneity—a hallmark of their shows. It's fascinating to see how their set lists often blend older classics with newer tracks, creating a vibrant tapestry of sounds and nostalgia. This chaos, as the video’s description notes, reflects the unfiltered joy and rawness of their music that audiences crave. So, you can bet that the atmosphere during 'Pimple Zoo' was electric, resonating with the band's unique ability to blend fun and creativity on stage.
