On November 18, 2007, The New Pornographers delivered an electrifying performance of "Unguided" at Òran Mór in Glasgow, capturing a pivotal moment in their career. At this time, they were riding high off their album *Challengers*, which had been released just a few months earlier, in August 2007. The album showcased a more mature sound, featuring lush arrangements and intricate melodies that marked an evolution from their earlier, more frenetic work. Interestingly, *Challengers* even received a Juno Award nomination for Best Pop Album, accentuating their growing recognition in the indie rock landscape. This live performance encapsulates not just the band's infectious energy, but also their ability to translate studio polish into a vibrant, raw experience on stage— a hallmark of their charm. You could feel the excitement in the air, as fans witnessed the blend of indie rock prowess and heartfelt lyricism that has come to define The New Pornographers.
