Synopsis
In the late 1980s Robert Pollard, a fourth-grade teacher, and his musician buddies recorded a series of lo-fi albums and EPs in a basement. They rarely played live, and their short, jangly, intentionally underproduced songs circulated mostly among friends and a handful of fans from the music underground. However some of those fans included the Pixies and R.E.M., and in 1994, with the release of the critically lauded BEE THOUSAND, Guided By Voices made the surprising leap from sonic experiment to independent darling. The band lineup went through countless permutations, with only Pollard as a constant, but it maintained a devotion to its idiosyncratic style until disbanding in 2005. James Greer, who played with the band for several years, has written a knowing and loving ode to his former band, with particular admiration for mastermind Pollard whose diverse aesthetics and prolific artistry led Guided By Voices to create over 900 songs.
