Transatlantic alt-rock super sensations Garbage have sold 17 million albums worldwide, thanks to their angsty amalgamation of alt-rock and electronica. Their massive internationally applauded smash hit singles include “Stupid Girl”, “Push It”, “Only Happy When it Rains” and “I Think I’m Paranoid”.
Formed in 1993, the group boasts the formidable talents of Shirley Manson (vocals), Duke Erikson (guitar, bass, keys), Steve Marker (guitar, keys), and Butch Vig (drums, production). Their critically acclaimed eponymous debut album has sold over four million copies, reaching double platinum certification. Their success continued with platinum-certified second record Version 2.0 (1998), 2x platinum Beautiful Garbage (2001) and further titles Bleed Like Me (2005), Not Your Kind of People (2012), Strange Little Birds (2016) and No Gods No Masters (2021).
One of my favorite bands. Smallish venue and good sound. Great crowd atmosphere. Band seemed stoked. Cons. No food!

Seen Garbage 4 times now... When orange album came out they was a bit rough around the edges.. then by 2012 they had improved massively... actually being voted the most improved live band...now they seem to have dropped off a bit from those heights... but always worth catching.

Rock City great venue as always. Garbage were on top form until Shirley got too drunk.
