Guided by Voices played Brooklyn (pics, setlist), reschedule tonight's NJ show

Guided by Voices played Brooklyn’s Industry City Courtyard on Thursday (8/16) as part of The Bell House Summer Series. The current lineup of the band, which features GbV vets Doug Gillard and Kevin March and newcomers Mark Shue and Bobby Bare Jr alongside frontman Robert Pollard, tore through a typically epic set that included classics, some new songs, Pollard and Gillard solo songs, and Boston Spaceships tunes. Check out the setlist below.

The band were supposed to play NJ’s Asbury Lanes tonight (8/17) but a death in the family has caused it to be rescheduled for October 17. Previously purchased tickets will be honored, refunds are available at point of purchase, and tickets are still available. That’s part of their fall North American tour that includes dates in September, October and November. All are listed below.

This has been a light year, release-wise for the famously prolific Pollard, with only March’s Space Gun to show for it. They have, however, recorded two new records: double album Zeppelin Over China will be out in February 2019, and then Street Party will be out in February 2010. To tide you over, GbV have released a 7″ with a song from each and you can listen to the sweeping, string-filled “You Own The Night” from Zeppelin Over China  below.
