Ted Leo and the Pharmacists

Before the live recording of "Little Dawn" at Diesel Club Lounge in Pittsburgh on September 23, 2010, Ted Leo and the Pharmacists had just released their album "The Brutalist Bricks" in 2010, which showcased a more polished sound while retaining their punk rock roots. The album was notable for its exploration of personal and political themes, reflecting Leo's growth as a songwriter. This live performance encapsulates the energy and excitement of the era, with a crowd fully engaged, showing how Leo's passion for music resonates deeply with fans. Fun fact: recording this concert on an iPhone 4 captures a raw, intimate feel that connects listeners to the moment, highlighting the importance of live shows in building the artist's community and following.
