MGMT

On April 20, 2003, MGMT performed at Wesleyan University, showcasing their early sound that would soon capture the attention of the music scene. This concert occurred before the release of their debut album, 'Oracular Spectacular,' which came out later in 2007 and eventually propelled them to fame with hits like 'Electric Feel' and 'Kids.' The live recording features them performing 'I am One of the Smartest Apes in the World,' a track that reflects their experimental flair. Though the band was still developing their unique style, this concert was a pivotal moment, hinting at the innovative direction they would take. The playful energy of the performance not only highlights the band's budding creativity but also serves as a reminder of how their college days shaped their future in music.
