Buckinghamshire’s The Japanese House (Amber Bain) just headlined the Fine Line, in Minneapolis, on Saturday, December 2, 2023, in support of her sophomore album In The End It Always Does (Dirty Hit).
Opening the show was Quinnie (stylized as quinnie). The singer, songwriter, is joined on stage by her two best friends, Jake and Hudson… making this tour “extra special.”
Quinnie’s debut album Flounder was re-issued as a deluxe version on Columbia Records. She described the deluxe album as, “paints a more well-rounded picture of what my life looked like throughout writing this album. These are songs that still equally represent the person that I was, but otherwise didn’t contribute to the overarching themes and palette of the album.”
She spent the entire set sitting down, playing the same set as the Liberty Hall show, a few nights ago, “…the crowd seemed completely enthralled with every note. This was even more evident towards the end of the set, as they played “touch tank”, a song which went TikTok viral last Spring, and the set-closing “gold star’, an early track from a 2019 EP that was written while in high school.”
We’ve been following The Japanese House for a while now, ever since Swim Against the Tide came out in 2016.
We saw her first headlining show in Feb 2017 at the Triple Rock Social Club, and mentioned that she basically played every song they’ve ever recorded. During the set “Bain noticed the disco ball that hung from the Triple Rock Social Club’s ceiling and asked, “Can someone work that disco ball? That would be amazing.” The request fell on deaf ears, that in the middle of ‘Leon’, the disco ball magically turned on with a massive cheer from the audience! Bain wore a massive smile on her face and struggled to continue singing.”
Since that first sold-out show, she’s been selling out all her other appearances, including her sold out Fine Line show in May 2019, when she was touring in support of her debut album Good at Falling.
With the two year pandemic break, Bain spent the time to write and record In the End It Always Does, which came out during the summer on Dirty Hit.
Setlist is the same from Kansas show on November 30: “The seventy-minute set (band on stage surrounded in a thin mist and often low lighting) began with the second single from the new record, the sullenly beautiful “Sad to Breathe” and Bain lyrically emoting, “It's sad to breathe the air when you're not there.””
Her “classic” song “Follow My Girl” had the biggest response from the fans.
Like her previous sold-out appearances, the Fine Line is incredible hard to move around, as fans packed themselves on the dancefloor. It felt like the show was over-sold, as even the balcony felt it was over crowded.
If you can’t make it out see The Japanese House live, you can pick up the recently released live EP called ITEIAD Sessions, featuring live versions of songs from her In the End It Always Does album. Pretty much all the songs on the ITEIAD Sessions were played live, including “Boyhood” and “One for sorrow, two for Joni Jones” (on the encore)… except for her ABBA cover song, “Super Trouper”.
