MGMT Live Performance of Cool Song No. 2 at Conan

Date: April 14, 2013

In April 2013, MGMT performed "Cool Song No. 2" live on Conan, just a few months after the release of their self-titled album, "MGMT," in September 2013. This marked a notable point in their career as they were transitioning from their earlier hits like "Kids" and "Electric Feel" to a more experimental sound. This live appearance highlighted their willingness to take artistic risks, a departure many fans noted in the band's evolution. Interestingly, the performance also showcased their unique blend of psychedelic pop and indie rock, a signature style that had fans both intrigued and divided. This period was pivotal as it encapsulated MGMT's challenge to stay relevant while exploring their artistic identity.
