MGMT

At the time of the live recording of "Kids" at DOCKVILLE in August 2009, MGMT was riding high on the success of their debut album, "Oracular Spectacular," released in 2007. This album, featuring hits like "Time to Pretend" and, of course, "Kids," propelled them into the indie rock spotlight, captivating audiences with their unique blend of psychedelia and synth-pop. By this point in their career, they were quickly becoming a household name, celebrated for their eclectic sound and vibrant performances. Interestingly, their music often explores themes of nostalgia and youthful exuberance, which resonated deeply with fans during live shows like this one at Elbinsel in Hamburg. The energy of the crowd, coupled with their infectious stage presence, perfectly encapsulated the spirit of that era, making this performance a memorable snapshot of MGMT's early career.
