A Trio of Minneapolis Trios

Read More On An On We've been tracking this Minneapolis-based band On An On since Jess fell in love with them, having caught them in Europe and again in Los Angeles. Songs on their set were mostly from their debut album Give In …

ON AN ON
itsonanon.com

According to their bio, On An On is a "Minneapolis trio" (Nate Eiesland, Ryne Estwing, Alissa Ricci), but I have always thought of them as being based out of Chicago. We've seen the band a few times, so there may be some truth to that earlier statement...

We've previously seen them all over the place, including Brighton and Los Angeles:

On An On @ Varsity, Minneapolis (19 Nov 13)

On An On @ Satellite, Los Angeles (11 Nov 13)

On An On @ Great Escape, Brighton (17 May 13)

On An On @ 7th St Entry, Minneapolis (26 Apr 13)

Look for On An On's forthcoming sophomore album with producer Joe Chiccarelli later this Summer, in the meantime you can catch the band down at SXSW 2015 in Austin, Texas:

03/18 Stage Hop Party @ Parish 3:35 pm
03/19 UMG Experience @ Palm Door 12PM
03/20 Culture Collide / Tillys Party 5pm
03/20 Roll Call Records/Indie Shuffle 11PM
03/21 Quantum Collective@Whole Foods 11:35AM
