Setlist from Fine Line Cafe, Minneapolis (03/26/11) |
I did like the fact that names like Ghost Towns of the West, Chiefs of the North, and Red Daughters, seems to suggest a Cowboys and Indians theme going.
I got in kind of late, but even at that late hours, I was surprised to see a nice large turnout at the Fine Line Cafe. I've been to dead shows at the Fine Line before, and believe me, when it's nearly empty, the place feels like, if you'll pardon the expression, feels like a ghost town. So yeah, it's nice to see the place filled.
Catching only about half of Sexy Delicious' set, I got the impression they were sort of this jam-funk band, with song titles like "Freshy Freshness", it's probably more on the funky side. Highlight was when they did a cover of "Rockin' Robin".
Ghost Towns of the West came on stage shortly after midnight. It seems like they've been planning this self-titled EP and release party for a very long time, and everything was seems to fall into place on that Saturday. They were really grateful at their parents and everyone who supported them. In particular, one of the three singers, Joel Korte, did a sort of dedication to his parents for their acceptance of his brother and himself for "I'll Get By". I got this vibe that the lyrics like "maybe there's nothing wrong with me/maybe this is how I'm supposed to be" was to address Korte's stuttering problem, but obviously you can interpret that to anything.
Highlight for me is their cover of The Animals' "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood", which is always a great song done live.
Best song on the set was "That Cold Wind". For some reason, the crowd went absolutely nuts and started dancing all around. They even demanded an encore!
Having had the chance to listen to their self-titled EP - I was glad to see they busted out the saxophone for "Soulweaver" live. The song wouldn't be the same without the sax.
Ghost Towns of the West EP is available now at Chase Bliss Records.
