In February 2014, The National performed 'Fake Empire' live at the NTU Stadium in Taipei, showcasing their signature indie rock sound. At this time, the band had just released their album 'Trouble Will Find Me' in May 2013, which marked their critically acclaimed return since 'High Violet' in 2010. 'Trouble Will Find Me' saw the group delve deeper into themes of introspection and melancholy, evident in tracks like 'Don't Swallow the Cap' and 'Graceless.' Interesting tidbits include the fact that the band's frontman, Matt Berninger, often connects with fans through storytelling during live shows, further enhancing the emotional experience.
