San Francisco's Tycho is currently on their 2015 tour, stopping by First Avenue in Minneapolis, on Sunday, March 22nd.
Opening up the show was Beacon, a duo (Thomas Mullarney III and Jacob Gossett) from Brooklyn, New York, playing some tracks from L1 EP (Ghostly International) to near darkness with a custom film, projected onto the band.
We've seen the electronic duo before, last December 2012, and I wrote that they had "big buzz." While at the time, I said they were 'thunderous rap bass', they seem to have taken it down a notch to more minimalistic and atmospheric.... at least based on hearing them perform on Sunday.
Mullarney said that about three years ago, Tycho took them on tour and was honored to be back, as part of their journey with Tycho. Since the band just came from SXSW 2015, they said they were glad to not play in the rain and mud... that they were just happy to be indoors (despite the snowstorm taking place outside).
Scott Hansen, or probably better known as Tycho is back in Minneapolis. The band was recently in Minneapolis last April 2014, promoting Awake, which Hansen described as "the first true Tycho record."
According to Hansen regarding the April 2014 show, "almost didn't happen!" He didn't go into details about "crazy story" on stage, but I suspect it was likely due to transportation issues. In fact, Hansen rarely spoke at all, instead letting his music speak for him.
The thing about Tycho is that they are an instrumental band, and their music feels like it is taking its audience on a long journey. The videos projected on the screen behind them also help us move and understand the songs. I am assuming visuals were also the handiwork of Hansen, who is also a photographer and graphic designer by the name of ISO50.
While I wondered why Tycho is back in town so soon (especially because they don't have any new material), obviously their fans didn't questioned it, as the main room was nearly sold out, if not sold out, for last Sunday.
Tycho's latest Awake is out now on Ghostly International.
