MGMT - Live Performance of Weekend Wars at McCarren Pool Party
At the time of the 'MGMT - Weekend Wars Live' performance in July 2008, MGMT was riding high on the success of their debut album, 'Oracular Spectacular,' which had been released earlier that year. This album, featuring hits like 'Time to Pretend' and 'Electric Feel,' was pivotal in establishing their unique blend of psychedelic pop and electronic rock. The McCarren Pool show exemplified the euphoria surrounding their rise, as fans eagerly embraced their experimental sound. Interestingly, 'Weekend Wars' represents the band's deeper, introspective side, showcasing their knack for blending catchy melodies with thought-provoking lyrics. The Brooklyn venue, otherwise known for its summer pool parties, created an electrifying atmosphere, perfectly capturing the vibrant, carefree spirit of that era. It was a moment that not only reflected their burgeoning popularity but also solidified their place in the indie rock landscape.
