Opening up the show was Los Angeles’ Tim Atlas, along with Dena on bass, and Zack on drums. You may have seen Atlas on NBC’s The Voice in 2015, as he cover Ed Sheeran, The Neighborhood and Ednaswap. Since then he opened up for Magic City Hippies, even stopping by St Paul in Feb 2020.
Best song on Atlas’ brief 35-min set was “Honeycomb”, a really catchy, ‘sweet’ dancey song.
We’ve been interested in Brisbane’s The Jungle Giants since their team-up with our favorite Australian band San Cisco in Feb 2012.
W♥M saw them on the “Politely Awkward” tour, at the Spectrum, in Sydney, Australia, and wrote, “While both bands were certainly polite, there was no awkwardness to be found when The Jungle Giants and San Cisco joined forces again at Spectrum last Saturday as they continue their tour of Australia. Although the bands are youngsters, both in terms of age of their members and the age of the band themselves, the quality of performances was such that it was unclear who was the supporting band (assuming you could have a support act that comes after the main act). The Jungle Giants performed known and new material, with frontman Sam Hales and bassist Andrew Dooris making the most of the tiny space that is Spectrum. Dooris managed to be everywhere at once and still play his instrument, while Hales delivered lyrics with precision and feeling.”
We’ve seen San Cisco nine times and the Jungle Giants zero times… so we’re almost sure they’ve never played in the Minneapolis/St Paul area.
Since 2019, the Jungle Giants had quiet a few highly rated songs on Triple J’s Hottest 100, including “Heavy Hearted” and “Sending Me Ur Loving”, both on their set near the end and the best known song as the encore finale.
The Jungle Giants’ Love Signs is out now on Amplifire Records. The album was #1 on the Australia charts, and came out during the pandemic.
