It's a good thing I got there early because this show had sold out for months already. The majority of the fans I spoke with were there to see The Local Natives, but were very impressed with the opening performance as well. The 400 bar was heavily packed long before either band stepped on stage to start playing. It was one of the hottest days of the year so far and I have a small request for the 400 bar- VENTILATION PLEASE. With the full house and little to no air movement, it was very stuffy and tough to breath; let alone rock out with the jammin' music, but the show must go on, so the artists, the music fans danced through the heat.
For many of you I will be introducing for the first time the Suckers. A Brooklyn based band that gained rapid local and national attention shortly after their self-titled EP was released in 2009. All of the band members were very musically talented and cultured. All of the songs I remember involved several of the guys playing more than one instrument at a time and harmonizing the vocals. I believe it was my first time witnessing a guitar/bass player rockin' some percussion in between beats on the strings. Very nice!
Their style and sound reminded me very much of Modest Mouse, a band that I am also very fond of. With excellent harmony and chemistry the Suckers managed to bounce the fans in the house and solidify their name here in Minneapolis. They came equipped with tons of energy and sounded great throughout the whole setlist. I don’t see them opening for bands much longer, so all you music heads out there get out and see them now so you can claim that you were a fan “long before they were huge”.
