Parquet Courts perform in the Soundcheck studio.

Parquet Courts Thrashes With Elegance (From the Archives)

Soundcheck | Apr 27, 2020

Parquet Courts exploded into New York music fans’ collective consciousness in early 2013, with the release of their blistering post-punk LP, Light Up Gold. They formed in Brooklyn, in 2010, but its members all met in Texas years before. Lean and urgent like the best of the early punk rock bands, Parquet Courts’ output is of mostly short and spunky songs, written by guitarists Andrew Savage and Austin Brown. They performed in-studio for us, back in early 2013.

Set List:

  • "Master Of My Craft"/"Borrowed Time"
  • "Stoned And Starving"

WNYC is funded by sponsors and member donations
