On the strength of Jess' love for On An On, I decided to check out this band live last night at 7th Street Entry in Minneapolis.
This was the last show of their North American tour, before venturing into unknown European territories. They were so pleased with the turnout and warm reception last night that singer Nate Eiesland confessed if they all tragically died in a plane crash tomorrow, that he really wouldn't mind it.
Kicking off the night was Minneapolis' Aaron and the Sea (otherwise shortened to AATS), an electropop/synth one-man show. I wasn't familiar with his work, I can only assume songs from his set were taken from his Creature LP. He did throw in a cover of Lykke Li's "Little Bit".
If you are curious at AATS' music, you can download the album for free via bandcamp.
Next up was The Farewell Circuit, a band that we've seen a few times. Their 10-song set included, I think a cover of the Beatles "I'm Only Sleeping" and two brand new songs, "Years of Youth" and "We Were Wolves". The songs will appear on an upcoming EP release, set for May 2013, on Princess Records.
As for On An On, the Chicago/Minneapolis based trio rose from the ashes of Scattered Trees. The band basically played their entire debut album, Give In, live, including "American Dream" and their set closer "Ghost".
Since they've exhausted almost all their songs, coming back for the encore proved a bit of a challenge, as keyboardist/backup singer Alissa Ricci said they were pretty much out of original songs. They set in on a cover, which I thought she said "The Innocent", but I did not recognize the cover. Speaking of covers, I am pretty sure they covered Hot Chip's "Boy from School" earlier in their set.
The second song of the encore was obviously "Every Song", which some fans correctly guessed because it was the only song on Give In that they hadn't play yet.
On An On's next show will be in Birmingham, in the UK. The band seemed really excited to play Europe, hitting all the major countries: Belgium, Germany, Netherlands, France, Switzerland, Austria, before ending back in London in late May.
