The monthly Communion Club Night just took place at the Turf Club in St Paul on Tuesday, June 16. We have been supporting Communion since it began at the Varsity Theater in 2013.
At nearly the last minute, we found out that headliner Aero Flynn (aka Josh Scott) was now listed as sans band and will be opening the show at 7:30pm. His solo 30-min set consisted of stripped down version of songs from self-titled album, including drone version of "Dk/Pi".
We previously caught Aero Flynn as a full band when they went on tour with Torres.
In between the live sets were songs as selected by DJ Jade (who also introduced all the bands on the bill). She's currently hosting The Current radio show from 10 to 2pm.
Canada's The Wooden Sky was up next, playing songs from their latest album Let's Be Ready, which Dena called "soothing and upbeat".
While they mostly just played straight through their set, they did pause a minute to dedicate "Baby Hold On" to the Replacements and how three members of the band went to see them on their first show in Toronto.
Highlight of their set was for their last song, which they dedicated to "William to Christy"... which a boy got on his knees to proposed marriage to his girlfriend.
My favorite band on the bill was Parlour Tricks; their very first time in Minnesota. Like the Pipettes, they're lead by three singing women and an all-boys backing back (who are just there to play music for the girls). The three Parlour Tricks women (Lily Cato, Morgane Hollowell, and DeeDee Golub) dressed alike, often doing synchronized dancing and hand claps. Really fun to watch, and they had great harmonies.
My favorite song on their set was "Lovesongs", which got the girls holding the stop/wait hand gestures. The song is very 60s pop, and I can see why Village Voice named them "Best Pop Band in NYC 2014".
Look for their latest Broken Hearts / Bones this June 23, 2015, on Bar/None Records.
Tempe's Jared & The Mill drew the biggest crowd, which is impressive considering that this was only their second time in Minnesota (they previously appeared at the 7th Street Entry in Minneapolis with Alexz Johnson in November 2014).
The band played everything off their latest Life We Chose, including the title track which ended their set. On retrospect, singer Jared Kolesar admitted that after they had pressed the CDs and approved the artwork - they realized that the title "Life We Chose" wasn't quite right. It was missing a "the" in front of the title.
The band noted that Minneapolis/St Paul had the best crowd, participating in hand clapping and sing-along. Judging from the enthusiastic crowd, you can tell that Jared and the Mill will likely come back to the Twin Cities on their next tour itinerary.
Biggest blunder of the night, Kolesar dedicated "Young & Dumb" to the fan who wore their T-Shirt... then quickly backtracked because he probably realized he unintentionally called his fan 'dumb' and immediately said that the song was actually about himself.
Jared & The Mill's Life We Chose is out now.
