Portugal. The Man

In 2010, Portugal. The Man was on the rise with their album 'The Satanic Satanist,' which they released just a year earlier. This album marked a pivotal moment for the band, showcasing their eclectic sound that blends rock and psychedelia. The Coachella performance captured in this video, on April 17, 2010, highlights their energy and engagement with the crowd, encapsulating the spirit of that era. Fun fact: The band's name quite literally references the iconic figure of Portugal as a way to capture their cultural roots, and by this time, they were beginning to carve out their niche in the alternative music scene. It's worth noting that their 2010 set at Coachella was a crucial stepping stone that showcased their growth, right before they would explode into wider recognition with subsequent releases like 'Evil Friends' in 2013.
