I haven't seen so many teenage girls, since I saw Thao & Mirah, so I can tell you that He is We has a very loyal following with girls ages 12-21. That's not a knock, I think it's great, especially because somehow these girls identify with what singer Rachel Taylor writes about.
More on this later, starting off this all-ages show at the Triple Rock Social Club in Minneapolis, was local Dan Rodriguez by himself, who seemed quite pleased with the huge turnout (especially showing up early to see the opener).
From Canada, Andrew Allen wasn't a solo artist, as his name suggests, he actually had help with the drums (I think I caught his name was Nate). He definitely wears his influences on his sleeve, slipping in Feist's "1 2 3 4" at the end of "Sooner" and a cover of Sublime's "What I Got".
Ocean Grove is from California, and they had a different tone and harder rock sound than the previous bands. Highlight of their set was a cover of Adele's "Rolling in the Deep". This is an excellent song to begin with, can't really see it covered by guys - but they were pulling it off on stage. Songs on the setlist, in order were: "I Want You in Love", "The Best", "Away", "Still Breathing", "Rolling in the Deep", "Dreamdate", "You're So Cool", "Say Goodbye", and "Our House".
He is We had tour staffs/roadies! We're not just talking one guy, we're talking about a group of them that tune the guitar, setup lamps, does all the soundcheck - this is really unheard of for a smaller-sized venue. Most of the headliner bands I see usually haul and tune their own instruments, I guess I was just surprise at the whole professional thing.
Please refer to the photo of the setlist, they pretty much stuck to it. The intro song was "(I Just) Died in Your Arms Tonight" by Cutting Crew.
Anyroad, almost all of the songs, all of the audience were singing along to, it's obvious that they all own and love the album, My Forever. Highlight of the show was "Radio", which apparently, as told by a story by "outcast" Rachel, that she wrote the song when she was fifteen.
During "All About Us", she realized that the entire audience were women, so she asked the three guys in the audience to please help sing the boys part, which Trevor and the keyboardist, well, they pretty much had to sing alone.
Encore includes one song, "Everything You Do", featuring the catchy chorus of "upside down, off the ground is what you do".
He is We's "All About You" tour ends in early August, so boys, you know where to go to scout for girls. He is We's My Forever is out now.
