Ted Leo and the Pharmacists

In the lead-up to the live performance of 'The Angel's Share' at the Bumbershoot festival in Seattle, Ted Leo and the Pharmacists had just released their album 'Living with the Living' in 2006. This album showcased Leo's signature blend of punk rock energy with sharp, introspective lyrics, making it a critical success and solidifying their place in the indie music scene. By 2007, they were riding high on the momentum of that release, engaging deeply with their audience during live shows. Interestingly, the Bumbershoot festival, where this performance took place, is known for its eclectic lineup, and it was a notable stage for many artists. This particular performance captures the raw energy of the band during a high point in their career, as they were building their reputation as a dynamic live act.
