Mac DeMarco

On October 20, 2012, during his set at 92YTriBeCa in New York, Mac DeMarco was still riding the wave of his breakthrough debut album, "Rock and Roll Night Club," released earlier that same year. This live performance was a part of the CMJ Music Marathon, an exciting and bustling festival showcasing emerging artists. By this point, DeMarco had begun to carve out his niche in the indie music scene, known for his laid-back sound and charmingly quirky persona. Interestingly, the album itself features a collection of lo-fi, playful tracks that speak to his unique style—the kind of vibe that instantly connects with audiences, like the one captured at this concert. What's fascinating about this recording is that it reflects the raw energy of his early career, solidifying his reputation as a must-see live act, and stirring up the buzz that would later propel him into indie rock stardom.
