Guided by Voices

On August 26, 2016, Guided by Voices delivered a spirited live rendition of "Game of Pricks" at Neumos in Seattle. This performance came on the heels of their album "Please Be Honest," released in April of that year, which marked a significant chapter in the band’s storied career. This was the final studio album from the classic lineup before some members stepped back. Known for their prolific output, Guided by Voices has always mixed lo-fi aesthetic with catchy melodies, and this live performance is a testament to the enduring energy they bring to the stage. The song "Game of Pricks" itself is one of their fan favorites, a staple that encapsulates their unique style—quirky yet profoundly relatable. It's fascinating how they manage to keep their music fresh, even after decades in the industry, keeping older fans engaged while attracting new ones.
