Grizzly Bear

In October 2009, Grizzly Bear was riding high on the wave of their critically acclaimed album 'Yellow House,' which had come out in 2006, while they were in the midst of recording 'Veckatimest.' This live performance of 'Cheerleader' at the Treasure Island Music Festival showcases the band’s evolving sound, blending intricate harmonies and ethereal instrumentation that draws audiences deep into their musical world. Interestingly, this performance captures a moment right before the release of their breakout album, where their indie-rock aesthetic began to gain traction in the mainstream. Fans were treated to an intimate yet electrifying set, and it’s a testament to how live shows can create lasting memories, especially when the wind plays its own symphony alongside the band's exquisite melodies.
