Yo La Tengo

In the summer of 2008, Yo La Tengo performed 'Stockholm Syndrome' during a live set at the McCarren Park Pool in Brooklyn. This performance followed the release of their acclaimed album, 'I Am Not Afraid of You and I Will Beat Your Ass,' which came out in 2006. The band, known for their eclectic sound and ability to meld genres, was riding high on the critical success and creativity stemming from that album. Their live shows are often vibrant explorations of sound, showcasing their improvisational prowess and deep connection with the audience. It's interesting to note that the pool party series was an iconic event in Brooklyn's music scene, drawing fans eager to experience live music in a unique setting, all under the open sky. This gig exemplified their ability to create an intimate and engaging environment, even in more significant, crowded venues.
