  In November 1993, Built to Spill was on the brink of significant recognition in the alternative rock scene. At this time, they had recently released their second studio album, "There’s Nothing Wrong with Love," which came out in 1994 and is often hailed as a cornerstone of the band's catalog. The live performance recorded at The Crocodile captures a moment of raw energy and experimentation before they transitioned to a larger audience. Notably, the video showcases a performance of "Sick and Wrong," the band's third single, and provides a glimpse into their early sound characterized by intricate guitar work and introspective lyrics. This recording is particularly valuable as it reflects the band's growth during a fertile period in their career, where they were honing their musical identity before gaining widespread acclaim with subsequent albums such as "Perfect from Now On."

  In November 1993, Built to Spill was still basking in the glow of their album "There's Nothing Wrong with Love," released just a month earlier. This live recording features Doug Martsch, the band's lead singer and guitarist, sharing insights during an acoustic set and interview on 'The End' Radio. At this stage in their career, Built to Spill had yet to achieve the widespread acclaim that would come with future albums, but they were already carving out a distinctive niche in the indie rock landscape. One interesting tidbit is that Martsch's candidness in the interview highlights his authentic approach to songwriting and musicianship, a characteristic that would only deepen as the band evolved. The raw energy and intimacy of this session perfectly capture the early spirit of the band, where each note feels like a promise of the unique sound they would become known for. It’s truly fascinating to hear the humble beginnings of what would grow into a cult favorite!
