The Doldrums / Moon King tour just stopped by the 7th Street Entry in Minneapolis last night. The two Canadian bands will end their North American tour at Chicago's Empty Bottle tonight.
Opening up at the 7th Street Entry show, a little later than advertised, was local duo Tender Meat. The instrumental electro band sounded something like Bentley Rhythm Ace, complete with a live drummer. Tender Meat's latest album Hello World is out now via Totally Gross National Product.
Doldrums lead by Airick Woodhead, shared his drummer and extra keyboardist from Moon Duo. Keys were handled by Daniel, who also is Airick's brother and lead singer of Moon Duo.
Airick mentioned this was "our third or fourth time here" and thanked anyone who last saw them. They were incredibly happy to get any support for independent artists.
Since the tour was in support of their latest, The Air Conditioned Nightmare, their 40-min set featured some tracks from the new album, including "Funeral For Lightning", "HOTFOOT", "Video Hostage" and their set closer "Closer 2 U" with no encore.
Duo Moon King (Daniel Benjamin & Maddy Wilde) had a full band on this tour. This was their third time in Minneapolis, previously opened for Majical Cloudz in 2013 and Gardens & Villa in 2012.
The majority of their setlist were songs from their latest release Secret Life, including the title track, "Impossible", and set closer "Roswell".
Highlight of their 40-min set was "Medicine", a song that, Daniel said, "we don't usually play it live..." implying that last night's show was special for them.
Secret Life is available in a variety of formats, including limited edition clear vinyl and compact discs (all releases comes with unlimited Bandcamp streaming and digital download).
The Doldrums and Moon King's final stop on their US tour is tonight at the Empty Bottle in Chicago, Illinois.
