Notable moments from the concert included drummer Erik Bodin's whimsical whistling in "Tumbling Dice" and the contemplative rendition of "Ritual Union." "Gold," from their latest album Slugs of Love, stood out with its funky bassline and homage to Whitney Houston's "Million Dollar Bill."
Formed in 1996 in Gothenburg, Sweden, Little Dragon consists of Yukimi Nagano on vocals and percussion, Erik Bodin on drums, Fredrik Wallin on bass, and Håkan Wirenstrand on keyboards. The band's discography includes hits like "Twice," "Ritual Union," and "Nabuma Rubberband," which received critical acclaim and a Grammy nomination for Best Dance/Electronic Album.
