At the Drive‐In

At the Drive-In was in a pivotal phase of their career during the live recording of "Lopsided" at the Elks Lodge in Manville, New Jersey. This performance occurred in the backdrop of their influential album "Relationship of Command," which had been released a few months prior, in September 2000. The album is widely regarded as a landmark in post-hardcore music and played a crucial role in elevating the band's profile. Notably, this recording comes at a time when At the Drive-In was beginning to gain significant attention for their dynamic live performances, characterized by high energy and chaotic stage presence. The mention of performing at an Elks Lodge, a venue often associated with local community events, highlights the band's grassroots connections and their journey from smaller stages to larger audiences. Their ability to harness the post-hurricane atmosphere also speaks to their resilience and the strong community ties that influenced their art.
