Soccer Mommy 2018 Tour
Soccer Mommy Setlist

Soccer Mommy (aka Sophie Allison) sold out her appearance at the 7th Street Entry on a busy Friday night (October 5).
The show started with Los Angeles’ Sasami (Sasami Ashworth). It felt like she was just in town (with King Tuff at the Turf Club in May 2018), so she seemed at home in Minneapolis.
Music has always been part of Sasami’s life, from starting with the French horn in orchestras, graduating from Eastman School of music, to joining local rock bands like Dirt Dress (playing synth). After leaving the group Cherry Glazerr, Sasami decided to strike on her solo career, working on her much anticipated solo album (set for release in early 2019). We got glimpses of it from her brief set, including the latest release, “Callous”.
Sasami is still relatively new to the scene, but expect her to build a solid fanbase, especially if she continues to tour with like-minded women like Julien Baker, Lucy Dacus, or Mitski.
We’ve been following Soccer Mommy since before her record came out in Nov 2017 (where she previewed some untitled songs), to her semi-recent support for Liz Phair in June 2018. Allison remarked about her previous shows, “We’ve been here a couple of times.” Then noting about the cold weather, “It’s not that bad, compared to Tennessee where it’s hot and disgusting.” She’s joking, of course, she lives in Tennessee.
The headlining set was an extended version of her June show, including a solo, deliberately-sadden, stripped-down version of Bruce Springsteen’s “I’m On Fire”. In some ways, an improvement over the original classic song.
The new item on the bill is actually an old song, “Henry”, however it’s been changed and re-arranged to warrant an asterisk next to it. Think of it like New Order’s “Blue Monday” and “Blue Monday 88”, they are the same song, but different.
As for the sold-out audience, the majority of the attendees were young women. Most of them were under 21 (you can tell by the X marker on the back of their hands) and it’s a good sign for Sophie Allison.
Soccer Mommy’s Clean album is out now on Fat Possum Records.
