MGMT

In the captivating live recording of 'Weekend Wars' from September 8, 2009, at Gazi Technopolis in Athens, MGMT was riding high off the success of their debut album, 'Oracular Spectacular,' which had been released the previous year. This album, bursting with hits like 'Time to Pretend' and 'Electric Feel,' catapulted them into the indie rock spotlight, establishing their distinct blend of psychedelic pop and experimental sounds. By this point in their career, MGMT was not just a band; they were a defining voice of a generation, capturing the free-spirited vibe of the late 2000s. Interestingly, this performance took place during their tour promoting the album, where they began to experiment with their sound and engage fans with a dynamic, electrifying stage presence that would soon become their hallmark.
