Portugal. The Man

In April 2012, Portugal. The Man was riding high on the waves of their album 'In the Mountain in the Cloud,' which had dropped just a year earlier. This album marked a significant point in their career, showcasing their eclectic style and commercial appeal, particularly with hits like 'So American.' At this time, they were beginning to capture a larger audience with their unique blend of rock and experimental sounds. The live recording of 'Bellies Are Full' from The Beacham reflects their high-energy performances that were becoming more prevalent as they gained traction. Fun fact: the band has roots in Alaska, and their cultural influences shine through in both their music and captivating live shows, illustrating a transformation from indie darlings to a broader mainstream presence.
