Grizzly Bear

In August 2013, Grizzly Bear performed 'The Knife' live at the iconic Hollywood Forever Cemetery, shortly after the release of their critically acclaimed album 'Shields'. Dropped in 2012, 'Shields' signaled a peak in the band's experimental sound, blending intricate harmonies with textured instrumentation. This live performance captures their evolution, showcasing both their melodic prowess and engaging stage presence. Interestingly, the band had originally formed in 2004 and had spent years honing their sound, balancing folk influences with richer, sometimes avant-garde elements. This concert not only reflects their artistic growth post-'Shields' but also highlights their unique ability to craft an atmosphere, turning a cemetery into a musical haven—a testament to their creativity and the deep connection they forge with audiences.
