Gang of Youths were the first band to record a MTV Unplugged live in Australia in the new millennium.

[5] Gang of Youths bassist Max Dunn said the performance was a "pretty important moment" for the group, explaining "it's a cool chance to do something a little different and stretch ourselves and give the fans a little more experience of the songs.

"[6] The recording took place at Cobblestone Pavilion, West Melbourne on 25 July 2018 and was broadcast on MTV Australia on 19 August 2018.

Marshall added "As someone who has followed the band since their earliest days, I know what they can produce in a live setting.

"[7] Stack Magazine said "Some bands make a concise effort to replicate their recorded songs live on stage, but there is an inescapably raw and sometimes tribal feeling that... is translated into this engrossing recording of the MTV event.
