Album Notes & Community Reviews

Captured during the band's rapid ascent in the mid-2000s, this performance documents their high-energy stage presence at one of the United Kingdom's most prominent festivals. The setlist focuses heavily on material from their debut era, characterized by Matt Tong's frantic drumming and the interlocking guitar work of Russell Lissack and Kele Okereke. It serves as an early archival document of the group's live power during the peak of the post-punk revival.
