The Beaches Live Cover of Kids by MGMT in Vancouver

Date: September 6, 2019

On September 6, 2019, The Beaches performed a cover of MGMT’s hit 'Kids' at Malkin Bowl in Vancouver. Before this live recording, MGMT had released their album 'Little Dark Age' in February 2018, which marked a significant return to form and was well-received by both fans and critics alike. This album, with its synth-driven sound and introspective lyrics, showed their evolution while also nodding to their roots. 'Kids' itself, originally from their debut album 'Oracular Spectacular,' became an anthem—its catchy chorus resonating across generations. Interestingly, 'Little Dark Age' was notably darker and more mature, demonstrating MGMT's willingness to experiment. This cover by The Beaches not only pays homage to a classic but also highlights the enduring appeal of MGMT's music within the indie rock scene.
