Grizzly Bear

In January 2014, when Grizzly Bear performed "On A Neck, On A Spit" live at the iconic Sydney Opera House, they were in the midst of touring to promote their album "Shields," which had been released in September 2012. This album marked a significant evolution in their sound, featuring more intricate arrangements and a blend of textures that showcased their growth as musicians. Prior to "Shields," the band gained significant attention with their 2009 album "Veckatimest," which included popular tracks like "Two Weeks" and established them within the indie rock scene. The Sydney concert exemplified their reputation for engaging live performances, and their participation in high-profile venues like the Sydney Opera House underscores the band's rising status in the music industry. This show would have likely included some material from "Shields," further cementing their artistic direction during this period.
