Hey fender, is the red jag Courtney is playing from the custom shop?

[@renapeppers20]

[@fender]

It's a Cobain Signature that we had specially modded for her :-)

[@rainydaywomann]

She needs to release a live album. Her live performances just sound so fucking good.

[@dzteny]

Seeing this at the end of 2020 makes me long for concerts.

[@scotttydoesknow]

Saw her do a mini show in LA in Feburary of 2020, was the last concert I went to before COVID =/

[@punt2263]

She’s on tour now!!!

[@dryter]

Neil Young was right. Rock and Roll can never die. What a refreshing sound! Hints of Patti Smth, Lou Reed/Velvet Underground, grunge, Chrissy Hind, and Neil Young guitar tone creeps in. But she's her own style and very addictive. I love it.

[@richardwarwicker]

Fashion fas On

[@i12C.]

I heard a little 'Sonic Youth' in there as well.

[@jeffwaggner7477]

Definitely some Dylan in there as well

[@leveltilt12]

bob dylan was who came to my mind

[@rtcastleberry]

It's Hynde, not Hind. But yeah, this is great stuff.

[@Cronos-ms3pw]

her entire band is so lovable.

[@bilklein]

CB came along just in time, I turned 60 a couple months back and thought rock was dead. She's a savior, no less.

[@ben2976]

Mate, look up another Australian band called "The Chats"....."their songs like "pub feed" are great.....I'll think you'll like them

Cheers. I Appreciate it

[@hebertglisson]

Thanks!!!

[@noelgarland3068]

it's so so relieving to hear that someone without connexions in the industry and just with raw talent and passion can make it today. Courtney you're a saver!

[@sratus]

Giving away your music to sell products helps too

[@flyte19tql8r]

If you think she has no connexions you are bizarrely naive.

[@Dhrazia]

Im a little obsessed. Haven't heard something so classic but new since The White Stripes i'd say.

[@laurencebrouwer8852]

[@bayswaterjames]

Damn but it warms my cold cold heart that young people today are making rock music as tasty as this, like they did back when I learned to love it as a kid in the late 70's.... I still love a noisy rock band, and this is a pretty freakin good one... thanks to all who made this possible...

[@garyives1218]

Yeah man, I think she's up there. Wolf Alice, who Courtney happens to be a fan of, is pretty damn entertaining too (IMHO). You watch some of the early acoustic vids and are like , yeah these kids got something....now they're huge

At least you can call her rock, bur needs moar rock.

[@atanazy83]

She, Mac de Marco and Conan Mockasin give us faith that rock and roll didn' die

[@sleepymouthmusic]

I never really clicked with Hopefulessness until seeing Courtney live. Then I GOT it: it's a rock song, it's practically a Nirvana tune. Awesome talent.

[@scottsherwood966]

No one's born to hate. They learned it somewhere, along the way.

[@gmanhirt8818]

Excellent live sound mix,, Biting guitars,,crisp drums,,punchy bass Leveled vocals,, A perfect live rock and roll mix,,,,, Props to their live sound person,,

[@valvara123]

What a fucking gorgeous creature.💜

[@gracebostock3305]

I would eat my feet to see Courtney Barnett live

[@joshford9268]

So good... Saw her at a festival (probably the same tour) and had never heard of her. It was absolutely the best surprise of the weekend

[@justmart4455]

Haha

[@matthewmcculloch9320]

This set just reeks Nirvana MTV Live & Loud. The tone, the angst, the stage layout, the colours. Amazing. She makes it her own. Love you Courtz.

[@Jiv_Ing57819]

No way, I completely disagree. Is that meant to be a compliment?

[@matthewmcculloch9320]

Jiv Ing she is clearly inspired by Cobain so yes it is a compliment

[@Jiv_Ing57819]

How is saying something reeks a compliment?

[@matthewmcculloch9320]

Jiv Ing im exaggerating - I love her stuff relax lol

[@Jiv_Ing57819]

Sorry I don't understand, that definitely is an exaggeration that makes no sense to me, if a band sounded like that particular Nirvana show, which is an awesome show by the way, then how is that bad anyway?

[@mlo4885]

I met Courtney when she did her first tour of the US she was in Denver at a small club called the Larimer Lounge, we shook hands and chatted a bit and then she and the band went to eat dinner before the show. Nice girl.

[@Baukereg]

It warms my hearth to see 90s inspired rock is still alive in this age of completely interchangeable overproduced music.

[@setphaser]

wow, very extroverted for courtney up there, looks like she’s having a great time!

[@bobwalton4630]

my wife and I are going to see Chvrches on October 21 in Boston, and Courtney is playing the very next night at the House of Blues. May have to go to both shows....

[@marvtarzan]

I can't figure out why, exactly, but pretty much everything about this act makes me happy....

Incredibly respectful audience. Well deserved!

[@johnminster3205]

She is so fresh, so fantastic. Backing band is perfect

[@jeffjensen3441]

One of a handful of the most exciting live performers seen in the last five years, nothing new sure, but it is all about how you carry the old forward and make it your own.

[@trekso3507]

This is great- love it. Been listening for more than 5 years Loved it even more before all the ads would play 🫤

[@titusrichardson539]

raw is best i dont want no polished artist if they cant relay a message or a feeling and she does this with most of her songs simply amazing

I am happy i came back after such a long time ❤️

Brilliant Courtney live ❤ seen twice in the uk❤ both high class live performance nights for sure ❤ definitely looking forward to more of the same ❤❤❤

[@DiscoDashco]

I’d have been at this concert for sure if I only knew who she was and how awesome her music is back then, in 2018. Chicago is my hometown, so it would’ve been marvelous to make the trip and visit family and friends while making it out to that festival. Better late than never when discovering amazing artists who make such magic!

[@ashleyepperson3019]

I love you Courtney. You are my inspiration for all of life.

Megakudos to the folks at Pitchfork for capturing this great set so well!

[@paulpiasta9532]

I love Chicago. I love Courtney. This is so cool. 😊

[@strictlynorton]

Courtney did this the hard way... constant touring and promo and raw talent. She's level headed and doesn't preach. Maybe that's where the hating originated. Openly gay but not making a big deal of it. I wish her and Jen much happiness. And if that offends you then you can pucker up and kiss my bisexual ass.

[@divinefallfromgrace]

strictlynorton No such thing as a Homosexual woman. Or, for that matter, a Heterosexual woman, or a Bisexual man. Figments of the delusional human state.

[@JustLikeHeaven77]

strictlynorton Live long and prosper.

[@anthonyrios2300]

@Any Rebel Nah. They are just friends. I actually they meet through touring and thanks to Courtney's girlfriend/partner Jen Cloher. I think Kurt is married with 2 or 3 kids.

[@Woolliscroft1]

He is. Courtney and Jen refer to each other as "my wife" and wear wedding rings, although same sex marriage has only just been legalised in Australia, so they are presently only married because they say they are.

[@notendopodcast]

this seemed like a post trying to get acceptance

[@giannisch65]

Courtney Barnett.....come here in Italy !!!!!! Go ti Italy........i want tour in Italy I want your music........in San Remo....

[@alonso8458]

such a great surprise first hearing her. so raw. glad to hear more women step into the rock scene and killing it!

[@louweedoficial148]

Genius!!

[@gillesbourgeois5348]

perfect sound engineering! perfect mix drum and bass!

[@martianneanderthal9841]

Courtney Barnett has to be the most promising musician of this generation.

[@hansgunther5692]

The problem is that she can't sing very well. But the band is really tight.

[@charliervrs]

Depends on the genre. King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard would be my first pick for rock, next to Tame Impala.

[@charliervrs]

They're all Australian btw, somethings in their fucking water. Same goes for new New Zealand artists

[@fedemaidana8157]

TRUE!

[@edfinkel1222]

She sings her own music just fine. Vocal style reminds me of Liz Phair. Everyone had the same complaint about her.

[@sokbok]

GO COURTNEY! Shes an original slayer

[@jst6274]

OK. It took me until 24:00 before I made my determination. Fucking awesome! To my old ears, a little Chrissie, as little Joan, a little Liz Phair, and a lot of tune-making you can put on like old jeans. Exuberance all over.

[@Paul_VK3HN]

It clicked for me at 14:00, shes really good. Outstanding songs on ordinary topics, pure naive rock attitude.

[@middle_pickup]

The opening to "Nameless, Faceless" is freaking killer! LOVE THAT SOUND!

[@silverscrub]

Gary Ives don’t worry man, they advertise all over between sets

[@stevenmorris4932]

Saw her in KC the week prior to Pitchfork. The sound was much better and she played a longer set. She was having fun and so was the crowd. Will see her anytime she is close. Kid just rocks and has a very tight band.

[@jegl1012]

Loooove her! - So original

[@justinnemesis1]

This is a breathe of fresh air.

[@Lebowski55]

of course her sound is nothing new, but who cares? its good songwriting and reminiscent of early 90's sloppy rock. Courtney Barnett is genuine and kicks ass

[@Jiv_Ing57819]

But you can't get new without coming from somewhere, it can't be absolutely new, everything now had a before and to me before is important and her music comes from somewhere and to me has a good foundation that makes it actually sound more new to me because it's a progression, more new than much music that doesn't come from anywhere so they can't go anywhere, they've sounded the same for years, so I disagree. Also if you can't come from incredible early 90's music and skip that influence then why? To me her music does and that's meaningful, to be connected to that history rather than trying to ignore that and have nothing to draw from.

[@strictlynorton]

Jiv Ing sage words!

[@dryter]

She's completely new. A synthesis of other sounds is still new. And refreshing.

[@edfinkel1222]

The Queen abides

[@JohnGieschenJr]

Everyone ripped off Chuck berry and little Richard and they probably ripped other people off of. It doesn't matter, is a monetary art moment - lightning in a bottle
