On An On at Great Escape, Brighton

Read More On An On 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. .…

On An On rocked the house for two packed shows at the Great Escape festival in Brighton (daytime at The Courtyard and night time at Coalition on May 17th). These guys had so much energy they seemed to blow the roof off during their afternoon "Shipwrights Sessions" set as they played tracks off their solid, flawless album Give In.

Lead singer Nate Eiesland has that guy-you-wanna-know vibe, and Alissa Ricci and Ryne Estwing are just simply way hip musicians and vocalists. The trio came out of the band Scattered Trees, and I have a feeling their choice to break away with a totally new sound worked out quite well for them.

The band is currently touring the US with Junip and Barbarossa* and demoing new tracks to be released soon.
