MGMT

On October 17, 2009, MGMT was right in the thick of their breakthrough years, having just released their iconic album "Oracular Spectacular" in 2007. This album catapulted them into the spotlight with hits like "Electric Feel" and "Kids," which was performed live at the Treasure Island Festival. What's interesting is that during this time, the duo was navigating their newfound fame and the pressures of follow-up work, yet they embraced the live scene with an infectious energy that resonated deeply with audiences. Most notably, "Kids" showcases not just catchy hooks but also a blend of whimsical nostalgia and deeper social commentary, making it a standout in their setlist. As the festival-goers swayed to the music, MGMT's unique blend of psychedelic pop and rock became a defining sound of that era, solidifying their place in music's ever-evolving landscape.
