Tame Impala’s bassist Cameron Avery is currently on a solo tour to promote his debut record Ripe Dreams, Pipe Dreams (Anti- Records)... stopping by the 7th Street Entry in Minneapolis on Tuesday, March 28th.
Opening the show was Los Angeles’ one-man-band Omar Velasco. Velasco cut his teeth touring with A Fine Frenzy (who we saw a few years ago when she was touring with Velasco in her full backing band), before deciding to venture forth with his debut record Golden Child.
Songs on Velasco’s set were mostly from Golden Child, including various Spanish songs, and the title track, which required Cameron Avery to show up on stage to help sing the song. Clearly the highlight of the show.
Perth-based singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Cameron Avery (sometime known and credited as Cam Avery) came on stage shortly. With the recently released Ripe Dreams, Pipe Dreams out now, the band proceeded to play (almost) every song off the record. The only exception is ‘An Ever Jarring Moment’, which was not played.
Avery and company seemed relieved to be finally standing and playing songs for us, especially after spending over 26 hours driving from Seattle to Minneapolis.
A small surprise was ‘Hey Judy’ thrown on the set. This is The Growl’s song, which is Avery’s former band. According to Avery, his current band now (Clinton Oliver, Marc Earley, Samuel Kuzich, and James Ireland) is exactly the same band as The Growl.
Avery’s songs aren’t always the most upbeat, even the singer confessing that his songs are somewhat “not the cheeriest songs”. One of the sadder songs on his set called ‘Disposable’ is about how he felt his love was disposable when he was saying goodbye to a girlfriend and she just shrugged and said, “she’s got a boyfriend anyway.”
With only one album, Avery concluded that he’s ran out of songs to play after the finale song ‘C'est Toi’. With encouragements, the crowd begging, Avery stayed on stage while the band left, and played out to a song he’s working on called ‘She Meant Everything To Me’.
He said that this was the live debut of the song, that he’s never played it in front of anyone before. Judging by the semi-unfinished ending, it was a work in progress. Still, it was a rather special to hear the new song.
