Guided by Voices

In the live recording from August 23, 2016, at The Independent in San Francisco, Guided by Voices was riding a wave of renewed energy thanks to their 2016 album 'Please Be Honest.' This album marked a departure as it was the first to feature a more stripped-down lo-fi sound, showcasing Robert Pollard's knack for catchy melodies and contemplative lyrics. Just before hitting the stage, they had released 'ESPN 10,' a digital EP, further solidifying their prolific output since reforming their classic lineup. Fans were treated to a nostalgic blend of new material alongside beloved tunes like 'Dayton, Ohio - 19 Something And 5' and 'Make Use'. What's fascinating is how this resurgence highlights the band's ability to evolve while keeping that quintessential Guided by Voices spirit alive.
