It was a quiet night along First Avenue last night with the Main Room act, Tricky, postponing until October and the headliner for the Seventh Street Entry, Mac DeMarco, canceling. Entry veterans, Minneapolis-based band Aaron and the Sea saw to it that the show went on, though, playing first in a lineup that included Detroit act Jamaican Queens.
Considering the eerily quiet streets we were a bit worried we'd find the room empty but there was a terrific showing for a Tuesday night, with a fun mix of fans in the crowd. Aaron and the Sea performed in virtual darkness with lights momentarily lighting the stage now and then, illuminating the smoke-filled stage. They were followed by Jamaican Queens, now touring with their album Wormfood that released this last March. The band is making its rounds this summer, moving on to Calgary for the Sled Island Festival through the 22nd.
