Beat Connection, with White Arrows and Teen Daze, stopped by 7th Street Entry in Minneapolis, as part of their "The Palace Garden Tour".
I was not there to cover Beat Connection, so I didn't take any notes. What I can tell you is that clearly they are the headliner, bringing out the most fans dancing to their beats. The singer was also the guitarist and one guy in the band alternate between keys and a floor tom. They also had a nice lighting setup with these light bars behind them that would display colorful sequences. Not sure if it was rigged to their music, but it sure looked cool.
Teen Daze started the night off. He's a one-man DJ, playing his music by turning knobs and pushing buttons. Not that interesting to watch, probably why he asked the lights to be turned off (this also made photographing incredibly difficult). I thought his music would be all instrumentals, judging from his first three or four songs… but as he introduced his new songs, he started singing on his later set. I didn't know a lot of his song, but I recognized that he used "Pop Goes the Weasel" in one of his song.
This was White Arrow's second time in Minneapolis. I didn't see them the first time, but I liked their setup. They had a fog machine, which usually meant they brought their own lights.
As expected with a band with a debut album, Dry Land Is Not A Myth, they mostly did song from that album, including "Roll Forever" and "Golden." Highlight for me was their weird cover of Bruce Springsteen's classic "I'm On Fire."
There's only a few dates left on "The Palace Garden Tour," so if you liked dancing, be sure to check them out on tour.
