Built to Spill

Let’s take a trip back to June 1, 1995, when Built to Spill took the stage at La Luna in Portland. At this point in their journey, they had just released their revered album *There's Nothing Wrong with Love* in 1994. This album really put them on the map, blending introspective lyrics with a unique alt-rock sound that was hard to ignore. By the time of this live recording, the band had begun to carve out a distinct identity within the indie music scene, thanks in part to their dynamic performances that captured the audience's attention. Interestingly, this gig featured not just Built to Spill but also bands like Heatmiser, who had connections to Elliott Smith, adding a rich layer of local indie culture to the event. This concert captures a moment when both the band and the Portland music scene were evolving, highlighting the energy and camaraderie of that era. It's a gem for fans, illustrating why Built to Spill remains a significant force in alternative rock.
