Portugal. The Man

On July 24, 2008, Portugal. The Man delivered a riveting live performance at the Culture Room in Fort Lauderdale, showcasing their distinctive sound just before they truly exploded onto the mainstream scene. At this time, they had recently released their album 'Church Mouth' in 2007, which had started to garner critical attention yet remained relatively under the radar. This album laid the groundwork for their evolution, blending rock with an experimental edge that many would come to love. The live rendition of 'My Mind' captures the raw energy and emotion of their early work, reflecting a band on the cusp of greater recognition. Interestingly, their relentless touring and tight-knit collaboration would soon lead to wider acclaim, especially with their future hits and Grammy wins that redefined their trajectory in the music world.
