Minneapolis' On An On recently held a special album launch show for their latest album And The Wave Has Two Sides at the Icehouse in Minneapolis on Saturday, July 25th (technically Sunday, since the band came on after midnight). This is the first "practice" show for the band before they head out on their national tour starting August 20th (see confirmed tour dates on the sidebar).
I believe the reason why Icehouse's shows takes place so late in the evening, is because the Icehouse is normally a restaurant during normal business hours. By the time 11pm rolled around, it was pretty packed at the small dance floor in front of the stage. That is great, as it tells me that On An On has very a strong local fanbase.
Opening up was Dem Yuut, a group of four DJs (Jeremy, Don, Danny, and Jef) mixing pre-recorded music, anything from hip hop to rock to reggae, live on center stage. The DJs came and went in 15 minutes blocks, and apparently Zoo Animal's Holly Hansen was a big fan.
On An On came on stage slightly after midnight and played for about an hour, ending just a little after 1am.
As expected with the album release for And The Wave Has Two Sides, they played some new tracks for us, including starting song "Behind the Gun", followed by "Icon Love".
Right before playing another new song "Alright Alright", they told us that they were having such a fun time preparing and practicing the new songs for the album release show.
Of course, they also did some old songs, like "The Hunter" and the set closer (and fan favorite) "Ghosts" from their debut album Give In.
Obviously we're big fans here, having seen/covered their previous shows in support of Give In, locally and at Los Angeles and Brighton:
On An On @ Varsity, Minneapolis (19 Nov 2013)
On An On @ Satellite, Los Angeles (11 Nov 2013)
On An On @ Great Escape, Brighton (17 May 2013)
On An On @ 7th St Entry, Minneapolis (26 Apr 2013)
Did you missed this preview show? Don't worry, you'll have another chance when they end their tour at The Turf Club in St Paul on September 25th, with touring support from Eliot Sumner.
