Portugal. The Man

On May 18, 2014, Portugal. The Man delivered an electrifying performance of 'Modern Jesus' at The Hangout Music Festival in Gulf Shores, Alabama. At that time, the band was revving up for the release of their album 'Evil Friends,' which came out shortly after in June 2013. This album marked a turning point for the group, as it was produced by the legendary Danger Mouse, giving their sound a fresh twist. The live recording captures the band at a vibrant moment in their trajectory, showcasing the blend of rock and psychedelic elements that they've become known for. Notably, the festival performance was a key moment in popularizing their music, as they were gaining significant attention and acclaim following their Grammy win for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for 'Feel It Still,' which would come a few years later. It's fascinating to witness the energetic interplay of their live show and the evolving sound that characterizes their music journey.
