Bombay Bicycle Club stopped by 7th Street Entry in Minneapolis last night. They are currently selling out most of their tour dates, including 7th Street, but walking around the venue, it didn't feel like it was sold out. Perhaps it was the cold snow that put people off? I have to admit, it was just perfect because it wasn't so packed that you couldn't move around.
Lucy Rose (who also doubles as a Bombay Bicycle Club band member) and The Darcys (we previously mentioned) opened up the show.
Both Rose and Darcys had very brief sets, possibly no more than 30 minutes each. Rose was as small as she was as quiet. The audience listened to her every note, and she thanked us because she said had played enough shows where people were just talking straight through her set. She also noted how cold it was, but that was fine, she prefer to put on her "jumpers".
Best song on her set was "Middle of the Bed", from the EP of the same name. You can see here.
Toronto's The Darcys took their name from two Darcys: Mr. Darcy from "Pride and Prejudice" and D'Arcy McGee, the first Canadian political figure to be assassinated. Although they look to be a young bunch, they seem pretty confident and comfortable being on stage.
With the recent release of covers of Steely Dan's Aja album, which available as a free download from thedarcys.ca, it wasn't a surprise to see "Peg" on their set.
As for Bombay Bicycle Club, they are stronger and more popular than ever. It's hard to believe that I wrote about them five years ago, when they were just starting to get their names out.
They pretty much stuck to the set list (see photo). Some of the highlight of the show was when Rose stepped up to sing "Leave It" on center stage. Also, should have ended their show with sing-along classic "Always Like This" with people chanting "I'm not whole" (which may sound more like "I'm not home"!).
Encores were "Shuffle" and "What If".
There are only a dates that they haven't sold out (thanks to venue upgrades), so grab your tickets if you can. Bombay Bicycle Club's latest album is called A Different Kind of Fix, which was available as a download last August, but saw a physical CD release last month, January 17th, via A&M/Octone Records.
