Hole

In April 1991, Hole was riding the wave of their debut album, 'Pretty on the Inside,' which had been released just a year earlier. This live recording captures the raw energy and unrefined brilliance of a band at the forefront of the early '90s grunge movement, a time when they were still building their reputation. The Rathskellar show reflects an era when Courtney Love and her band were challenging norms and stirring conversations about feminism and identity in rock music. Interestingly, Love's playful banter, including a funny remark about Beat Happening, highlights her emerging charisma and stage presence, something that would only grow in subsequent years. This performance is a snapshot of a band poised on the brink of greater fame, with the grit and honesty that would define their journey.
