San Cisco and Chaos Chaos sold out the Triple Rock Social Club in Minneapolis last night, March 30th, as part of their post-SXSW but pre-"The Beach Tour". According to the band, this was their first sold-out show in the USA, although there were plenty of sold-out shows when the band toured with The Vaccines earlier this year.
It was good to see Chaos Chaos again, as you know, we were there to witness their "first ever" gig as the new duo. The duo have written more new songs, which they played some of it for us last night. Also new, the two sisters brought along cellist Bryan West, who stepped in to play their Smoosh song "Promises" and stayed on stage to do production beats on his Mac.
Like I said, most of these songs are brand new to me, so I really couldn't tell you their titles. I did love the funky beats song that featured drummer Asya's vocals. I think she's got a great voice (as heard on God Help the Girl).
Songs I knew were definitely "My Hands" and "In This Place". Highlight of the show was when Asya stepped out in front, as seen in the photograph provided, to sing a cover of Tegan and Sara's "Closer".
As for San Cisco, please refer to the set list to see what songs were played. A couple of things about the set: (1) they saved the best for last, "Awkward" closed out their set, (2) "Golden Revolver" is such a great song every time I hear it, this is their first single but never really got the recognition it deserved, (3) "Hunter" was written after they watched "The Deerhunter" at a hotel, (4) "John's Song" is stripped down with just Jordi (everyone in the band took a break) and (5) "Rocket Ship" is surprisingly catchy, I overheard many people started singing the doo doo part as they left the venue.
No encores were played, but that's just as well, because, let's be honest, there's no way they can top "Awkward". It's better to end on a high note. Still, that didn't stop the fans from screaming out "One more song!" chants.
This is the third time we've seen San Cisco and it's actually pretty fun to see them grow up on stage. Their first show in St Paul (incidentally that was officially the first confirmed show in America), the band was a little stiff. Seeing them with the Vaccines, you can tell they were warming up. Now, Jordi Davieson is doing more guitar thing/dancing about when he doesn't have to be singing into the mic. They're definitely a lot more comfortable and loose on stage, and it shows.
San Cisco will end their U.S. tour in April, so try and catch them if you can. In May and June, San Cisco heads back to their native country to play sold-out venues with Millions and Chaos Chaos.
