The New Pornographers - Up in the Dark Live Performance from Vancouver
On July 9, 2011, The New Pornographers delivered a spirited live performance of "Up in the Dark" at the Stanley Park Pavilion in Vancouver. At this time, the band was riding high on the wave of their fifth studio album, "Together," released the previous year, in 2010. This album marked a significant moment in their career, blending their signature pop-rock sound with more textured arrangements. An interesting tidbit is that the band had been on a brief hiatus prior to "Together," making this reunion not just a return to form, but a chance for fans to see the synergy among the members—like an old family coming back together for a joyful reunion. Their live energy is palpable in this recording, capturing the essence of their engaging performance style, which has always set them apart in the indie music scene.
