BUILT TO SPILL - Terrible Perfect Live Performance at Black Cat, WDC
Venue: Black Cat
Location: Washington, DC, United States
Date: May 17, 1997
In 1997, when Built to Spill performed "Terrible Perfect" at the Black Cat in Washington, D.C., they were riding high on the wave of their acclaimed album *Perfect from Now On*. Released earlier that year, it showcased their signature blend of intricate guitar work and introspective lyrics, solidifying their status in the indie rock scene. This live recording features an interesting twist—Brendan Canty of Fugazi, a band known for its influential sound in the punk and post-rock landscape, joined the performance on drums. This cross-pollination of talent highlights the community aspect of the indie music world, where collaboration is not just common but celebrated. It’s fascinating to hear how this performance captures that raw, energetic spirit of '90s underground music, resonating with fans even today. Who knew a jam session could open doors for such memorable musical partnerships?
