"Thanks for braving that sh** outside," said singer William Keegan, "I guess if you live here, you guys are used to it." This winter's been brutal, even for Minnesota. For the hardcore together PANGEA fans, they came out, they showed up, and they don't give a f**** about the ice and snow.
Opening up the show were local Frankie Teardrop and the Netherland's Mozes and the Firstborn. The latter said this was their first time in Minneapolis (possibly their first major U.S. tour).
Most of their brief set was taken from their self-titled debut album (which came out last week) and a few from their I Got Skills EP, including the title track and 'Waiting for Something New'. What made their set remarkable was after Mozes and the Firstborn ended their set and said goodbye, the audience were chanting/demanding "One more song! One more song!" I've seen this happen a few times, but it's quite rare for openers to come back on stage. But that's exactly what happened, Mozes and the Firstborn came back on stage and did a quick one-minute song called 'Wannabe'. I guess they do have 'skills'.
together PANGEA is currently on tour in support of Badillac, but surprisingly very few new songs, like the title track, were played. Instead, they did three covers, including a 'reggae' version of 'Gates of Heaven', plus a few odds and ends. In fact, their entire set was only about 35 minute long (discounting the encore). That's fine, I don't think anyone minded (and personally, between you and me, I don't like hearing "new" stuff all the time).
The laid-back California band has a very punk/DIY attitude to their music. Their fans in the front went nuts/moshing for the faster song, particularly at the encore (Nirvana's 'Breed') where they were bodysurfing, possibly inspired by Keegan stage diving on their finale cover song, 'Gates of Heaven'.
together PANGEA is currently on tour with Mozes and the Firstborn, if you're into a little psychedelic, punk, 'burger rock', this is a fantastic pairing. Expect to find both bands at the massive SXSW Music Festival this March 2014.
