The Twilight Sad stopped by 7th Street Entry in Minneapolis last night. It was freezing, but the band didn't seem to mind it, in fact, they were more than happy to play for us.
Warming up the show was Danger, Will Robinson, a local band, still in high school. They are a math-rock, jam band - all instrumentals, no lyrics. I got the feeling that this was one of their first gigs, they seem fairly nervous.
They did songs from their Danger EP, including "Pillars of Creation".
Next was Micah P Hinson, from Texas, but currently enjoying fame and appreciation in the UK. He had as much stories as songs. He seem like a bitter fellow, but at least he had a sense of humor.
His entire set was just him, an acoustic guitar, and an old timey microphone. Highlight of the show may be either his intro song, "Take Off that Dress for Me", or his failed attempt at a fan's request to play "Drift to Sleep". He confessed he actually doesn't practice or rehearse all of his songs, instead he substituted "Drift to Sleep" with "Dyin' Alone". Ended his set with "God is Good".
As for Twilight Sad: "Scotland's rubbish!", singer James Graham said on stage. As I previously mentioned, they were more than happy to be playing to an audience in America, Graham later added that he would've been happy to play to twenty or thirty people, but he was really pleased at the turn out - the venue was filled with adoring fans (truth be told, I was also surprised at the great turnout).
As you can see from the setlist, they mostly did songs from their latest album, No One Can Ever Know, including "Kill It in the Morning", "Alphabet", "Sick", "Dead City" and "Nil". However, I thought the highlight of their set was an "old" song from their debut album, "Cold Days From the Birdhouse" (which I don't actually see on the setlist).
Twilight Sad is currently on tour in America, on the road to SXSW. Their third album, No One Can Ever Know, is out now via Fat Cat Records.
