Yo La Tengo

In February 2010, when Yo La Tengo lit up the Metro Theatre in Sydney, they were riding high on the wave of their album 'Popular Songs,' which had been released just a few months earlier in September 2009. This album showcases their signature blend of indie rock and experimental sounds, demonstrating their ever-evolving artistry. An interesting tidbit about this particular performance is that it coincided with their extensive tour, highlighting their reputation for captivating live shows filled with improvisational flair. Fans often rave about their chemistry on stage, which is on full display in this video. The fact that they take risks with their set list each night adds to the excitement—every show feels unique, like a one-time-only experience. So, witnessing 'Stockholm Syndrome' during this era encapsulates the essence of what makes Yo La Tengo such a beloved band.
