Australian duo Mess Esque headlined the 7th Street Entry on Thursday night, June 9.
Opening the show was Gold Minefield, the new music/jazz/experimental project from Duluth-native musician/comic artist Zak Sally (from The Hand and formerly of Low). We first encounted Zak Sally as a comic book artist, in March 2016, when he introduced and had a casual conversation with cult writer/artist Dan Clowes.
According to the recording notes, Gold Minefield features guitarist Ben Durrant, bassist JG Everest, baritone saxophonist Matty Harris, drummer Ryan Lovan, and baritone guitarist Zak Sally.
Gold Minefield basically played one long song called “ Gold Minefield”.
Mess Esque started life when the Mick Turner and Helen Franzmann got together to create two albums, Dream #12 and their self-titled debut on Drag City.
Franzmann, when not in Mess Esque, create music under the stagename McKisko, bringing her quiet Joni Mitchell-esque to Mess Esque.
Meanwhile, Mick Turner is from Dirty Three, which is famous for incorporating dynamic sound with open-ended/improvisational music.
The two brought their unique music knowledge to create Mess Esque, a band that is very shy and quiet, with a soundtrack background and with lyrics that are thoughts and dialogue.
