Odesza (often stylized as ODESZA) pulled off with very few bands can do. They sold out two nights in a row at First Avenue. Not only did they sell out the two shows in Minneapolis, they sold out almost all, if not all, of their almost two month long tour.
ODESZA released In Return on Counter Records back in September. They have quickly become one of the biggest bands in the electronic music world and for good reason. This Seattle based group has been in the scene since 2012 but the shows this week were part of their biggest undertaking to date. They had three sold out shows at Terminal 5 in New York City, three sold out shows at The Shrine in Los Angeles, two sold out shows at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco but sold out shows in pretty much every other state.
There's a reason why these guys sold out so many shows. They have a clean and catchy sound and a high energy live show. From the second the duo took their spots behind the various keyboards, cymbals, and drum machines, the crowd went insane. The light show was spot on and made watching the crowd but exhausting and exciting. The duo was frequently joined on stage by a pair of horn players but other than that, Harrison Mills (CatacombKid) and Clayton Knight (BeachesBeaches) commanded the crowd to move the entire night. The crowd didn't need any reminder to move, there was not a single person in the sold out crowd standing still.
Hayden James took the stage right before ODESZA. James is a musician from Sydney, Australia who definitely turned some heads during his set. Although he only has one EP and a couple of singles out, he is definitely getting some attention in the electronic world. Being on this tour will only help him catapult to the same kind of fame that his tour mates have. He played a few songs off of his EP along with a few unreleased tracks.
Opening the show was Big Wild from Los Angeles. Big Wild is Jackson and was definitely a jaw dropper as an opening act for an already amazing line up. What sets Big Wild apart from the other acts of the night was the versatility Jackson exhibited. He played a lot on the keyboards as the other acts did but also did a lot of his own whistling and playing on a boom box drum (the drum that you sit on and are able to make different noises on depending on where and how hard you hit it). He kept the crowd engaged but in a much different way than the other groups of the night. Whereas the crowd was rambunctious and feisty during Hayden James' and ODESZA's set, the crowd just stood there and watched while Big Wild blew their minds.
