As you can see from Atlas Genius' setlist, they tried to play all their songs off their recently released album, When It Was Now. Because of the limited thirty minute opener set, they had to drop off/cross off "Through The Glass". I suspect when the band comes back in June as headliner, that they will have plenty of room to breathe and will toss in other songs they have under their belt.
Although most of the audience didn't know Atlas Genius, it didn't stop them from dancing and handclapping to their music. Singer Keith Jeffery understandably kept banter to a minimum, but he sure knows how to manipulate the crowd (anytime you drop "Imagine Dragons" in your sentence, it's a huge cheer!).
If you missed out on Atlas Genius due to the sold out Imagine Dragons show, you can catch the Australian band again when they come back to Minneapolis at the smaller (but more intimate) Fine Line Music Cafe on June 4th. Be sure to check out their new album When It Was Now, out now, via Warner Bros. Records.
