Nokia has been promoting the Lumia 1020 smartphone once again, and its latest efforts include recording a live performance in Los Angeles.

The indie-folk band Wardell allowed Nokia to record a performance from Club Nokia as part of the company's MixRadio.

The Lumia 1020 was utilized to record Wardell's "Dancing on the Freeway" from various angles.

The band consists of siblings Sasha and Theo Spielberg, and their last name may be familiar to some. They are the children of award-winning director Steven Spielberg.

The Lumia 1020's features include a 4.5-inch screen with 1,280x768 pixels covered in Corning Gorilla Glass 3. The new Windows Phone 8 device has 32GB of internal storage for 2GB of RAM. The device includes a rear-facing camera with a 41-megapixel sensor and front-facing camera with 1.2 megapixels. The smartphone also packs a 2,000mAh battery.

In regards to prices, mobile carrier AT&T's official website has the Lumia 1020's priced at $199.99. The price is valid when signing a two-year contract with mobile carrier. The online Microsoft Store is also selling the Lumia 1020 for $199.99 and can go up to $610 for a no-contract deal.

Amazon.com is also selling the Windows Phone 8 smartphone for $100 less. Amazon has the Lumia 1020 for $99.99 for new customers signing with AT&T. The price is also valid with existing AT&T customers who want to upgrade their device or add a new line of service regardless if its an individual plan or family plan.
