Opening up the show was Minneapolis-based Denny (stylized as DENNY), featuring Alexander Rollins, Randon Nelson, and Sully. The trio ended their very brief 30-min with their 2016 hit single “Bloom”.
DJ Denim came on stage shortly after 8pm, and warmed up the crowd with a medley mix of some popular songs (such as Princess Nokia’s “Tomboy”).
Singer/rapper Mallrat (aka Grace Shaw) came on stage to unveil her brand new crazy pink folded top (which resembles a flower of some sort). Shaw would later confess that the shirt is too big and she can’t properly move her arms… describing that she felt like a Tyrannosaurs Rex.
Starting out her set with “Tokyo Drift”, she would move back and forth and smiling brightly as she sings, “and we're never on time, laughing at the wrong time”.
Shaw quickly mentioned this was only her second time in Minneapolis (first as headliner). She previously appeared with Maggie Rogers in October 2018… which we saw and mentioned, “Mallrat is easily likeable. After starting her set with “Make Time”, she quickly got our hopes up when she said, “that was our slowest song, so from here onward, it’s all bouncy dance songs.” Sure enough, she’s out dancing and being the self-described “Hannah Montana of the rap game”.”
Since we already mentioned that Mallrat is relatively new to the scene, having only released two EPs: Uninvited and In the Sky , she basically played everything that she wrote and throwing in a few cover songs.
The last part of her set were basically all hits, “UFO”, “Groceries” and set closer “Uninvited”.
Hopefully, with an upcoming tour, and by the time Driving Music is released (set for September 2019), we may hear more music from Mallrat.
