Parking was a disaster last night in downtown Minneapolis. It's a Twins night and people were out in full with their baseball jerseys. But it was a nice night, so I didn't mind the long walk.
Chelsea Boys, from Minneapolis, opened up the 18+ gig, you'd get the impression that they were named after the Velvet Underground song "Chelsea Girls", but the low-fi dance trio seems like they're more comfortable in an 80s music video. The first song was plagued by a broken guitar string, which seems to drag on for ages as guitarist (Josh Atwood?) was putting on a fresh string.
I haven't seen Pomegranates for two years now, but they seem to come to Minneapolis quite often. They seem to have also grown up, in terms of age and music style. They sound more melodic and relaxed now (with the exception of the final "Everybody, Come Outside!" song from their sophomore album), and now incorporate a smoke machine in their gig. Gone is the loud megaphone.
Just for safe measure, I ended sampling their latest album, One of Us, out now on Afternoon Records, and it sounds like their brief setlist (of about six or seven songs) were from the One of Us.
I wasn't there to cover Colour Revolt, but I stuck around to check out what they're like. I'll tell you one thing: they're a pretty loud band. Sometime borderline hard rock/metal, with harmonizing "bro" vocals of Jesse Coppenbarger and Sean Kirkpatrick. Their second album is called The Cradle and is out on Dualtone Records, but with their full set of over ten songs, I can tell that they've written a ton of music outside of the two released albums.
Not really much to add about them, except that their stage setup had two non-shaded lights and made it hard to look at the stage. It did give a weird campfire-esque setting.
PS, I've been toying with the idea of mobile update, so if I'm at a show, I'll try and upload a photograph from the show. The photo are unedited and often very large. The mobile update for this show is located here.
