Warpaint

In September 2010, Warpaint was riding high on the wave of their self-titled debut EP, which had been released earlier that year, helping them garner attention in indie rock circles. This live performance at This Ain't Hollywood in Hamilton, Ontario, came just as their sound, characterized by ethereal harmonies and intricate instrumentation, was beginning to resonate with a broader audience. An interesting note is that the band had recently opened for larger acts like the xx, which showed their rising popularity. This gig captured the raw energy of their live shows, highlighting their unique blend of haunting melodies and dynamic rhythms. It’s a glimpse into the early days of a band that would go on to shape the dream pop landscape in the years that followed.
