The Mars Volta - Concertina Live Performance at Brixton Academy
On March 13, 2005, The Mars Volta delivered a breathtaking performance at the Carling Academy in Brixton, London. This live recording came just after their critically acclaimed album 'Frances the Mute,' which had been released in March 2005, showcasing the band's signature blend of progressive rock and jazz fusion. Fans were electrified by the intricate musicality and the unmistakable energy that marked this period in their career. Interestingly, 'Frances the Mute' had quickly established The Mars Volta as a force to be reckoned with after their debut album, 'De-Loused in the Comatorium.' This concert not only underscores their live dynamism but also captures the band's exploration of complex themes and surreal narratives that became a hallmark of their artistry.
