This period marked a significant point in the band's career as they were transitioning into the indie rock mainstream while exploring avant-garde elements. The performance highlighted their unique blend of noise rock and melodic experimentation, featuring tracks from their extensive discography. Notably, the band maintained a strong DIY ethos, often engaging their audience with spontaneous and mesmerizing live experiences, a characteristic evident in this show.
