The Dangerous Summer is currently on tour, stopping by Minneapolis' 7th Street Entry last night, August 10th. W♥M's Jamie and Vu was at the show to check them out.
Kicking off this five-band showcase was The Word Party, which we misread as "World Party" (a band we like). The Word Party is a local Minneapolis band with two core members, Luke Henry and Nick Strot, who began writing music since they were 14 years old. Unfortunately, due to an early show (starting at 6pm, short/30 minute sets, road work, and detours, we had missed them).
Instead, we caught Brooklyn's Breaking Laces as they set in their second song, "Mr. Curry is a Cop". Just by that song, we can tell these guys are pretty silly. Their set featured songs from their album Come Get Some, but we thought their best song is the finale, "God in Training".
Next was Rare Monk, which we previously described as "an indie rock band from Portland, Oregon". This was their first time in Minneapolis, and they seem pretty excited and happy to be here. They did a few tracks from their Death By Proxy EP, including the last song, "Underground" and the title track (which was our favorite from their brief set).
The highlight of this showcase for us was Tommy & the High Pilots, which Jamie described as a flawless performance (which you can hear on the podcast if you stick around until the end). Most of their set consisted of their new album Only Human, with the two exceptions of "Round N' Round" from their 2009's Everynight and I think a Talking Heads cover song called "This Must Be The Place (Naive Melody)".
Highlight of the show for me was either the closer song "Outta My Head" or "Devil to Pay", which featured the fiddle player from Rare Monk.
The Dangerous Summer was the headliner. From what we can tell, they took their name from an Ernest Hemingway book (which was published after his death) and their music is best described as emo. They have a lot of fans, who knew all their lyrics, so you can tell right away that they write incredibly personal and relatable lyrics.
As you can see from the blurry photo of the setlist, they did plenty of songs from their latest album Golden Record, including "Catholic Girls", "Miles Apart", "Honesty", and "Knives". The album just came out last week (August 6, 2013) on Hopeless Records, which you can order direct or pick it up in person at a live show.
