Doveman and The National - 'The Cat Awoke' Live Performance at Le National, Montreal

Venue: Le National Location: Montreal, Quebec, Canada Date: October 7, 2007

Back in October 2007, when The National took the stage with Doveman at Le National in Montreal, they were riding high off their 2007 album, "Boxer." This album not only earned them a cult following but also saw them gaining traction in the indie rock scene, showcasing their distinct blend of moody introspection and soaring melodies. Fun fact: "Boxer" was so well-received that it even landed on numerous year-end best-of lists, helping to solidify their reputation as a band of depth and emotional resonance. At that live performance, the collaboration with Doveman, also known as Thomas Bartlett, must've created an unforgettable synergy, seeing a few members of The National collaborate on something fresh and unreleased. With an engaging presence and a knack for intimate storytelling, it’s no wonder that collaboration captured the magic of that moment, revealing the heartfelt connections forged through music.
