Minneapolis' Marah in the Mainsail just had their CD Release show for their debut 6-track EP, Devil Weeds & Dour Deeds, at the 7th Street Entry on Monday, May 20th.
Opening up the show was The Bitterroot Fires, a band comprising of Jeremiah from Red Fox Grey Fox (who just announced they are opening up for the Appleseed Cast) and We Are the Willows (vocally I compared to Jeff Hanson) and a band called Friends of the AMS (never heard of them, but they're friends with Dark Dark Dark).
Anyway, I caught the entire set from The Bitterroot Fires. Their music is folk, but a little experimental (including some weird electronic instrument as well as the traditional banjo). They ended their set with "The Postman's Boy".
The turnout for Monday's show was quite good, most of them were filling out the floor by the time Clocks & Clouds played, and even fuller when Marah in the Mainsail came on stage.
The first thing I noticed about Clocks & Clouds was that violinist Stephanie Shogren was very, as the young people calls it, "preggers". The band doesn't seem to have a singer; their music is straight instrumental with an orchestra feel of cello & violin, but with a strong percussion. Interesting song from their set included "We Shall Never Surrender".
Marah in the Mainsail brought their personal lighting for their stage setup. It actually didn't help the 7th Street poor lighting, but it's different. Since this was the show for Devil Weeds & Dour Deeds, they played songs from the EP, including "Drag You Down".
