From Byron Bay, to Berlin, ...to just plain brrrr!

Australia by-way-of Berlin band Parcels braved the frigid elements spinning outside, for a long sold-out show at the 7^th Street Entry in Minneapolis.

The evening opened with a curious set from Brooklyn duo Penthouse Boys (aka Patrick Preziosi and Ryan Wu) who have a 2017 EP, New in Town to their credit, with newer music forthcoming.

Grounded in retro synth-pop, their musical style also incorporates early NYC hip-hop, break beat, and an amount of kitsch, to make for a mostly entertaining half-hour opening.

The pair dressed in matching Beastie Boy-like one piece mechanic jumpsuits with their band logo on the back, and took advantage of any musical break, to leap out to the front of the stage for a series of coordinated dance moves.

Unsure of how seriously they actually take themselves, there’s no denying songs like ‘Je T’aime’ (“How many of you understand French?”, Preziosi asked, following it) and ‘Telephone (If Your Phone is Ringing)’ have a certain memorable element about them. Wu’s voice lends itself better to the ballads, so he took over lead for ‘Share this View’ with Preziosi then getting the crowd to chant along on the closing title track from the EP, ‘New in Town’.

Electro-pop then met nu-disco-soul as five-piece band Parcels took the stage for their highly anticipated sixty-five minute headline performance, in support of their debut self-titled full-length (on Because/Kitsuné Music) featuring plenty of songs (whose titles that apparently hate the keyboard space bar).

Beginning with the opening ‘Comedown’, the vibe was immediately established of both being very laid back, as well as more encouraging of dancing, help set about by a late 70’s Chic-era Nile Rodgers-like rhythm guitar riff anchoring the song.

‘Lightenup’ sounded like a musical sequel to Chic’s ‘I Want Your Love’ and the band has no fear of going into extended instrumental passages during their songs to extend the nu-disco groove. The quintet (Louie Swain-keys/synth; Patrick Hetherington-keys/synth; Noah Hill- bass; Anatole "Toto" Serret- drums; Jules Crommelin- guitar) actually features three of the members taking turns singing lead at some point, though Swain handles most of the songs.

“It’s very cold and we’re losing our voices a bit” Swain admitted (though their Beach Boys-style harmonies were still apparent), asking the audience to help a bit with the singing, which everyone happily obliged to do. The band’s own ‘Bemyself’ flowed nicely into a 1970 cover of Paul McCartney’s ‘Every Night’ with its “and be with you” chorus.

The band had also brought a very professional setup to the show, complete with higher-end in-ear monitors /wireless gear, a custom mixing desk, and even a foot pedal-activated smoke machine- things most bands playing this small venue can only dream of, but collaborating with the likes of Daft Punk (on the song ‘Overnight’) and playing large festivals like Glastonbury during their earlier EP days, will help do that for you.

The crowd erupted for current radio hit, ‘Tieduprightnow’ with the band lamenting following the song, how lovely the city outside must be, but that they usually don’t have any time to explore the places they play. The aforementioned ‘Overnight’ is one of their faster tempo’d tracks, and would easily fit alongside the Daft Punk/Pharrell/Nile Rodgers collaboration, ‘Get Lucky’ with its chorus, “The minute I was thinking to hold you back, the moment I was wishing it's over night”.

‘IknowhowIfeel’ then took the yacht rock into deep space, with the hum and buzz of a vintage synthesizer sound and lyric “There's a place I need to go, over the end of every road” suitably winding down the set as the band would end things by going full circle to reprise part of their beginning song, ‘Comedown’ with each band member leaving one-by-one to extended applause, to finish the set.

Without sounding too cliché, Parcels’ performance could indeed be categorized as a special delivery - a show from a still-new buzzing band very clearly on the rise, that will likely return, but undoubtedly to a larger venue and even more fans.

Scottish alternative band Teenage Fanclub will be back in the Minneapolis area this Monday,
03/4th.

Last year, the band announced that Gerard Love left the group, so joining the band on this 2019 tour will be Euros Childs on keyboards and vocals with Dave McGowan now playing bass and vocals.

We’ll miss McGowan, as the last time we saw the band was in October 2016 (were touring in support of their then-new 2016 album Here), we wrote about how he was the third singer: “The thing to know about Scottish band Teenage Fanclub is that they actually have three main singers and songwriters: Norman Blake, Raymond McGinley, and Gerard Love. That’s quite evident by the first three songs (‘Start Again’, ‘Sometimes I Don't Need to Believe in Anything’, and ‘Verisimilitude’), which saw three different lead vocalist.”

Teenage Fanclub will be bringing along North Carolina’s The Love Language (led by Stuart McLamb). We saw the band all the way back in April 2009 and said, “The Love Language, a six-member troop hailing from Raleigh, North Carolina, proved to be ideal openers for the somewhat more polished Headlights. Stuart McLamb, lead singer and wearer of dilapidated wife-beaters, charmed the stoic audience with his off-beat lyrics and undeniably catchy melodies. There seemed to be an endless supply of tambourines, an occasional accordion, and when Missy the keyboardist started dancing around barefoot, it seemed wholly appropriate. Their entire set gave off the vibe of an indie pop country hoedown. ”

Julia Holter is touring in support of Aviary. We saw the singer in Sept 2013 and mentioned, “You can tell that Holter love those old orchestra/big band/jazz sound from an earlier era, as she produced that type of genre with her band, consisting of saxophone, cello, violin, keyboard, and drums. Although the music was fantastic, I only hope that Holter can take it to the next level and sing to a Benny Goodman-esq big band of 20 or more players.”

Below is just an overview:

Saturday night headline concert - 2018 IBMA award winners The Po' Ramblin' Boys!

Grammy nominee and Mercury Prize winner James Blake is back in time, touring in support of his fourth studio album Assume Form (Republic Records). We caught the Mercury Prize winner in November 2013 and said, “For UK electronic artist James Blake, less is always more. The 25-year old, in promotion for his second and latest full-length, Overgrown (Republic Records) has never felt the need to over-embellish his works or fill in un-necessary notes in the spaces in-between; and in a very sold-out 100 min. performance at Minneapolis’ First Avenue, we saw why he was this year’s recent winner of the coveted Mercury Music Prize.”
