Sydney's Little May stopped by the 7th Street Entry in Minneapolis on Tuesday, October 27th, on their "For the Company" US album tour.

Marah in the Mainsail

Opening up the show was local band Marah in the Mainsail, who only found out they were opening the show just two days prior. We previously seen the band live at their release party for Devil Weeds & Dour Deeds in 2013.

They sang songs inspired by the Haunted Mansion ("The Graveyard Song"), which is fitting for Halloween.

Highlight of their set was a cover of Nancy Sinatra's "Bang Bang (my Baby Shot Me Down)", but done as a slow, sad song.

Hannah Field

On their first US tour (and first Minneapolis show), Little May (Annie Hamilton, Liz Drummond and Hannah Field) is joined by their friend Mark on bass/keys. As expected with a debut tour and album, they basically played their entire For the Company album (available now on Dew Process)... and as a bonus threw in a cover of Icehouse's "Great Southern Land", which they had to learn how to play when Australia's national radio Triple J asked them to play a cover for their live session series.

For the song "Hide", they described the song as "loud, jarring, and repetitive", based on their neighbor's complaints when they were rehearsing the song.

The less-jarring song, "The Shine Is Brighter at Night", Little May said that they had to drive to Hudson to meet with Aaron Dessner (from The National), so he can produce and record their album. They were having trouble finding their sound for that song, until Dessner pull it out of them. The song, as they described it, is "sad and hopeful."

At the end of their set, they stepped off the stage and fans stuck around, expecting an encore. Despite the hooting and the clapping for more songs, no encores were given.

Remaining US tour dates:

11.02.15 - Independent - San Francisco, CA
11.03.15 - The Echo - Los Angeles, CA

New York alternative pop quintet MisterWives will be in town as part of their "Scrapbook Tour".

The band recently earned their first RIAA gold plaque for the hit single “Reflections,” which accumulated over 500,000 digital downloads and streams since its release last year.

As one of 2015’s breakout acts (who we previously wrote about in 2013), they landed at #1 on Billboard’s Emerging Artist Chart and even garnered an “Artist to Watch” nomination at the mtvU Woodie Awards.

The Scrapbook Tour will also feature Waters and Cruisr. The former opened up for Matt & Kim earlier in May 2015.

Please note: This all-ages show will likely start at 6pm, with doors opening at 5pm.

TALL HEIGHTS
at Aster Café

Boston's Tall Heights is Tim Harrington and Paul Wright. The duo is currently touring in support of their new EP Holding On, Holding Out.

The tour will take them to November, where they meet up with Shook Twins.

The two are no strangers to the harsh touring grind, having played over 300 shows between 2013 and 2014, opening up for such established acts as The Wood Brothers, Wild Child, Laura Marling and Ben Sollee.

NOTE: Oddly enough the Aster Café website also lists 10/22 as a Tall Heights show... but I'm assuming that is an error as they're listed to play Goshen, Indiana that same evening.
