Marian Hill recently played a sold out show at the 7th Street Entry in Minneapolis last Tuesday, October 6th.

Heavy Mellow

Opening up the show was Heavy Mellow, aka Everett Romano. Romano started his set off with some sensitive/downtempo songs (which he provided the autotuned vocals), and then ended his set as an extended DJ/live remixer.

The last song on his set, he announced was Lido's "Lost" (Heavy Mellow Remix).

Marian Hill is a Philadelphia duo consisting of production/keys Jeremy Lloyd and vocalist Samantha Gongol, and featuring improvisational jazz musician Steve Davit (who played saxophone and doubled as bassist). Their name is based in the two main characters from the musical The Music Man (Harold Hill and Marian Paroo). The band previously appeared in St Paul, as part of the Communion Club Night (February 2015), and seemingly happy to be back in the Twin Cities.

The tiny 7th Street Entry venue was completely packed with young college students, in love with everything they've heard from Marian Hill. It was incredible to watch the entire audience grinding and swaying to their saxophone-heavy songs... which has been written is described as "sax-ual" music. I would also add in a little dubstep, grime, and electronica.

With only EP, Sway, under their belt, they played all seven songs from the record, such as "One Time", "Wasted", "Lips", "Deep", "Whisky", and "Got It." The latter song's hook was used by INNA for his song "Diggy Down." They dropped in a few new songs, one of which is tentatively titled, "Talk to Me", and midway into their set they had an extended instrumental breakdown.

For the encore, since they actually ran out of all their songs, they decided to replay "One Time", but redone as an alternate mix. This served as a nice bonus for fans who showed up late in their show, since "One Time" was the very first song Marian Hill played on their set.

Based on the strong attendance and demand for more Marian Hill songs, the group will likely return to Minneapolis... hopefully with newer songs and a longer set.

Marian Hill's Sway is out now on Photo Finish / Republic Records.

Irish rockers Kodaline will be back in Minneapolis next Tuesday, October 6th. I guess the third time's the charm, as we previously saw them twice already in 2015: Varsity Theater (16 May 2015) and First Avenue (04 March 2015).

I really love playing Minneapolis, as they have a strong local fanbase here. We have documented their growing fans from First Avenue in March 2014, Turf Club in October 2013, and First Avenue in April 2013.

Still, it's always good to have them back in town.

Duo Good Old War (Keith Goodwin and Dan Schwartz) will open on this tour. The vocal-guitar combo is from Langhorne, PA, and just this past June, they put finishing touches on their fourth album. The band was just recently in town earlier this July 2015.

Tuesday, 10/06/2015

There are so many shows that it will take forever for me to write about them all.

We are not covering these shows below, but I thought they were important enough to mention:

Tobias Jesso Jr with Wet will be at Cedar Cultural Center (7pm/$20)

Wet (Kelly Zutrau, Joe Valle and Marty Sulkow) recently released their single/video for "You're The Best" and offered a remix from Mixpak-associate Dubbel Dutch.

Russian Circles with Cloakroom over at Triple Rock Social Club (8pm/$17)

Last year Russian Circles celebrated their 10 year anniversary as a band.

Lianne La Havas at Varsity Theater (8pm/$26).

Lianne La Havas was previously in town on March 2012, but I was still in Winter Hibernation.

Chad Valley with Stranger Cat at Turf Club (7:30pm/$8).

We previously saw Chad Valley in Oct 2013, Apr 2013, and Sep 2011. Also, previously saw half of Stranger Cat Cat Martino at Cedar in 2012).
