It’s been three years since Local Natives went out on tour… and they seemed so happy to be standing on stage, at First Avenue’s mainroom on Monday night. The group announced they were making up for lost time, and rocked and danced as hard as they’re able.
Opening the show was Jordana… who we just saw just short of two months ago at the 7th Street Entry. The two sets were nearly identical, but leaving out the Strokes covers as she had a limited opening set time.
Comparing the two shows, Jordana seemed much more excited to play in front of a much larger audience. She is a real fan of Local Natives, so it’s an honor for her to play with them. And she’s made plenty of newfound fans, who would sometime shout out, “you’re awesome!” as she played on stage.
As with her previous appearance, Jordana is joined on stage by guitarist/sometime keys Hayden, guitarist Sagiv Rosenstock, drummer Blake, and a bendible Gumby toy sitting on the mic stand. God, she loves that thing.
As for Local Natives, it’s good to see the band back in action again. We haven’t seen the band in over 20 years (opening up for Suckers in May 2010), so it’s been a long time.
Since that debut album Gorilla Manor, the group released Hummingbird, Sunlit Youth, and Violet Street… the latter in 2019 on Loma Vista records. Their set is handpicking some of their favorite songs from those albums and putting it on their setlist.
Their encore song started with their new single, “Hourglass”, which the band described as exploring “the difficulty when feeling divided and isolated from some of the people we love most while knowing the time we have with them is finite, and contains some of our favorite LN lyrics. This music got us through really difficult times and reminded us how much joy we get out of playing music together. We couldn’t be more excited to share these songs and play them live on our first tour in 3 years.”
