Guided by Voices

By the time Guided by Voices took the stage at The Independent on August 23, 2016, they were riding the wave of their latest album, 'Please Be Honest,' which was released in 2017. This album marked a new direction for the band, featuring a more stripped-down sound as it was primarily a solo effort from their frontman, Robert Pollard. It followed their earlier work, 'Cool Planet,' released two years prior, and showed that even in their later years, they weren't afraid to experiment. Fans of the band often rave about their live shows, where the spontaneity and energy truly shine, and this performance of 'Glad Girls' is no exception. It's a vibrant testament to their enduring charm and creativity. Interestingly, Guided by Voices has a reputation for a high volume of output—often releasing multiple albums in a single year—so each live recording bears witness to their bustling artistic momentum.
