[edit] DEATH OF A FESTIVAL : AUSTIN CITY LIMITS | ZexSports.com

1 October 2008, by brave14star Next up, MGMT. This was a highlight without a doubt. This was also when I could not really see even a plasma screen. As a live show, motivating this sized crowd in this heat was not easy. They did not disappoint. I was pissed off at a guy who was brushing sand on me and his four girls who were talking through the whole thing along with looking around at anything but the show. The music was stronger than all the bullshit. I think ever person from all 8 stages converged to watch MGMT. There is so much music out there right now with an electronic influence that it’s difficult to differentiate how MGMT is so different but they are. When there is a song that basically has one melody and one lyrical line that you can listen to all day long. These guys have figured it out and I’m really glad they did because someone had to. The build on some of their songs is pretty much perfect to me. I hope you can feel them like I do.
