You may remember that we caught the Portland-based band …

Unknown Mortal Orchestra's first headlining show in Minneapolis took place last night at the Cedar Cultural Center, according to singer Ruban Nielson. The Portland-based band previously played with Solid Gold for "Into the Black" (art gallery in Minneapolis) in June 2012, and a month later, returned to the city supporting Liars.
Normally Bass Drum of Death is a duo, but for this tour, they added a guitarist, adding some muscle to their sound. As Amy previously written Bass Drum of Death on their last headlining tour, the band had "little to say between songs to keep the intensity and momentum going."
Very same deal here, as they played tracks from GB City, like "Velvet Itch". Not all were old songs, Bass Drum of Death previewed some new tracks, like "Crawling After You" and the set closer "Shattered Me", off an upcoming self-titled album (to be out June 25, 2013, via Innovative Leisure).
Unknown Mortal Orchestra came on a little late, as bassist Jake Portrait commented, "We're missing a third player, he's still pissing." A few minutes of goofing around on stage, and eventually singer/guitarist Ruban Nielson came on stage.
Like Bass Drum, very little talk between songs… most of the songs were extra extended near the end with extra psychedelia as Nielson goes into a trance-like guitar-playing noodling.
Of course, this tour is for their second album, II, so we got those songs in spades, although they did sneak in some songs from their self-titled debut, like "How Can You Luv Me" and "Thought Ballune".
My favorite from the II set is probably the double-whammy at the end with "Swim And Sleep (Like A Shark)", followed by the last song, "So Good At Being In Trouble".
Unknown Mortal Orchestra's latest album, II, is out now on Jagjaguwar. The album got rave reviews from NME and Pitchfork, so if you're interested in checking them out, see them on this tour with Bass Drum of Death.
