Telekinetic Yeti Setlist

Iowa-based two-piece Telekinetic Yeti headlined the 7th Street Entry, in Minneapolis, on August 29th, in support of their
Tee Pee Records debut album, Primordial.
Opening the triple-rock show was Minneapolis’ Thunderbolt Pagoda, featuring Erik Wivinus on vocals and guitars, Gérard-Jéan Boissy on bass, Matt Entsminger on drums, and Ralph Karsten on synths. The band was named after the 1968 surreal film Invasion of Thunderbolt Pagoda.
The group played tracks from their albums, Artefakt III and Second Ascension, while psychedelic visuals were projected over the band, from the back of the stage by Van Glow Light Show. Side note, Van Glow was clearly named after celebrated impressionist artist Vincent Van Gogh ... but what does he know about music? Didn’t he cut off his ear?
Van Glow would provide visuals for all the bands on the bill.
Next up was New York City fuzz rock outfit White Hills, who we haven’t seen for nearly 10 years, since they opened up for The Cult in Aug 2013.
We were very excited to catch up on the duo (Dave W. and Ego Sensation). They still had that 70s guitar sound, but it would seem that Ego would make use more of percussion, in addition to providing additional or lead vocals whenever a song called for it.
The band expressed gratitude to be part of this tour, and would dedicate their song “In Your Room” to Telekinetic Yeti .
White Hill’s forthcoming album The Revenge Of Heads On Fire (to be released September 16 via Heads On Fire Industries).
The Minneapolis show was the end of a long two-month North American tour, which started in South Carolina on July 2nd, and took them to the south (Texas), west coast (California), and finally winding to an end in Minneapolis. You can tell that after such a long travel that Telekinetic Yeti were both sadden that it would come to and end... but at the same time, they can finally take a break.
The doom/stoner duo (Alex Baumann and Rockwel Heim) was very comfortable on stage, playing the same set night after night.
As you can see from their setlist (with additional notes and settings), almost every song was from their new sophomore album Primordial. The two exceptions, “Abominable” and “Stoned and Feathered”, were taken from their debut album Abominable .
Telekinetic Yeti’s latest album, Primordial is out now on Tee Pee Records.
