Pretenders

In January 2009, during the live recording of "Brass in Pocket" in London, the Pretenders were in a unique phase of their career marked by the release of "Break Up the Concrete," their eighth studio album, which had come out the previous year in 2008. This album showcased a blend of rock and folk influences, reflecting a mature sound that retained the core elements of their early work. Notably, "Brass in Pocket," one of their signature hits from 1979, continues to resonate with audiences, illustrating the band's enduring legacy in rock music. The live performance captures the dynamic energy of the band, including frontwoman Chrissie Hynde, known for her powerful vocals and commanding stage presence. By 2009, the Pretenders were also celebrated for their ability to blend classic hits with newer material, affirming their place in both past and contemporary music scenes.
