MGMT: Uptown Theater, Kansas City, MO 6/15/10
It's been two years since MGMT breezed through Kansas City's Uptown Theater in support of Beck on his Modern Guilt tour. The crowd at the sold-out venue that night was greeted by the fledgling, Brooklyn-based band, and many were introduced for the first time to the band's synth sound heard on their full-length debut, Oracular Spectacular. The intervening two years have seen MGMT's stature, and style, grow considerably, and their headlining stop on June 13 at one of Kansas City's finer venues showed them deliver on their high expectations.
