The Courtneys Setlist

The Courtneys and Jay Som’s co-headlining “You Do You Tour” stopped by the 7th Street Entry in Minneapolis on
March 22nd. The turnout was very good for a Wednesday night.
Local band Wetter (singer/guitarist Melissa, guitarist Joe, bassist Rose, and drummer Jordan) started the show. As previously noted, Minneapolis’ music scene is often incestuous, and the thing to note is that the lead singer/guitarist for Wetter is Melissa, who also fronts Tony Peachka.
Most of their set were songs from People You May Know, but I believe they ended their set with a new song called ‘Truth Song’.
The band recently contributed to a Split EP Nervous Breakthroughs with fellow locals Catbath, Lunch Duchess and The Chambermaids.
Canada’s trio The Courtneys (singer/drummer Jen Twynn Payne, bassist Sydney Koke, and guitarist Courtney Loove) were really excited to be back in Minneapolis. They previously opened up for Tegan & Sara at First Avenue’s mainroom (next door to the 7th Street Entry) on June 2014.
Drummer / singer Jen said that they love Minneapolis so much that she dressed all in purple, but for last week’s show, she only had her purple boots. In fact, they wanted to show their Minneapolis appreciation by writing and performing the song ‘Minnesota’ for us.
The song, as well as most of their setlist, is from their sophomore record The Courtneys II, aka the Pink Record, which the critics describe as “punk simplicity with heartfelt lyrics and good old-fashioned fun”.
San Francisco’s Jay Som closed out the night. Jay Som (aka Melina Duterte) has been in Minneapolis a few times, including July 2016 and October 2016, but this time has a headliner.... and with a debut album called Everybody Works finally out on Polyvinyl Records. The record is so good that as soon as it came out, Pitchfork declared it as “Best New Music”.
They played those new songs, including the title track ‘Everybody Works’, ‘1 Billion Dogs’, ‘The Bus Song’, and ‘Take It’ (played early in their set). Of course, they also included some older songs, like ‘Turn Into’, from last year’s release.
