Mal Blum Setlist
|
Unfortunately, due to conflicting concert schedules (it's Rocktober!), we were unable to provide coverage for Weiss.
Kid In The Attic
|
KITA played a few tracks from their latest Qué Lástima, which came out earlier this Summer via Rhyme and Reason Records. She ended her set with what I thought I heard as "Minefield Daughter".
Winter
|
This dream pop/shoegaze group is led by singer/guitarist Samira Winter, along with guitarist Matt Hogan, bassist David Yorr, and drummer Garren Orr.
The first thing Winter did was encouraged everyone at the show to stand up. Their 30-min set featured songs about relationship, addiction (to love), drugs, tattoos, "typical" teenagers, and, of course, the California sun (which was missing on this slushy snow night).
The band is really young, and I got the feeling that the band just graduated from high school. Their song, which they wrote as "High" on their setlist, was all about being an outcast (and trying to blend in) in high school.

The band was having a lot of fun goofing off on stage... even though Mal Blum's music is pretty depressing. They had some issues, with Mal Blum constantly complaining about being shocked by her microphone. Headliner Allison Weiss even tried to give some advice with no luck. Eventually, Mal switched mics with Audrey, to no results. In the end, I think someone needs to give Mal Blum a pair of good anti-static shoes for Christmas.
Once again, apology to Allison Weiss. You can read about her last appearance in Minneapolis in 2013, which Emily wrote, "Allison Weiss was very engaging throughout her set, asking the audience, “Does anyone in here like to feel?” and making humorous comments about the television show “The OC” and the mocking glare of the venue’s glowing restroom sign. Weiss played a collection of earnest pop originals before dropping a pretty great cover of Katy Perry’s “The One That Got Away.”"
