ONLINE: Guided by Voices

Guided by Voices
Here in Madison we have only had one shot during the last decade to see a current version of Guided By Voices, the most famed outlet for one-man art factory Robert Pollard's hyperactive songwriting skills. This oversight is now being partially rectified in summer 2020 fashion with this livestream concert for all comers. It's the full band and full-on electric, so be sure your coolers are also full-on stocked for this BYOB to your couch concert. The hardest working rock band in Dayton, Ohio, recently announced their second LP of 2020, Mirrored Aztec, scheduled for release Aug. 21, and some new songs will likely be part of this show, hosted on noonchorus.com.

Tickets at Noonchorus.com and finer venues
Guided By Voices will be playing a full-electric concert from an empty venue in Dayton Ohio, with a top-notch audio / video crew. No acoustic guitars in pajamas in the living room!
Due to the pandemic, the band has canceled a number of tour dates this year. They’ll be partnering on this web concert with numerous U.S. indie venues, some of whom they’ve worked with for over 25 years. 20% of the ticket price purchased at the venue sites will go to the venues, to help them keep afloat during these tough financial times.
The set will highlight tracks from the February release Surrender Your Poppy Field as well as a few songs off the not-yet-released Mirrored Aztec.
