The co-headlining
Wet and Kilo Kish stopped by the Varsity Theater in Minneapolis on Friday, March 15th.
Opening the show, and previously not announced, was California’s Hana Vu. She’s playing solo, which is quiet different from her full-band setup at the 7th Street Entry in Sep 2018: “The 18-year-old is joined on stage by guitarist Christian Wright, bassist Sebastian Jones, and drummer Jair Hernandez. After spending 30 hours driving in a car, Hana Vu was happy and relieved to finally play for us. Although Vu had written and recorded three albums (about 30 songs) since 2014, this was the first time the group went out on a national tour, with the 7th Street Entry in Minneapolis a first stop for the band.”
The 7th Street Entry was special because, according to Hana Vu, it was her first time playing outside California. She was invited to play the Wet/Kilo Kish show, so she took the opportunity, and announced that her Varsity Theater appearance would be second to her last appearance on this tour.
Near the end of her set, playing “Team”, she thanked the audience for showing up early to check out her brief 25-min set.
Next was co-headliner, Kilo Kish (aka Lakisha Kimberly Robinson), who played a surprisingly long 45-min set (considering that she only officially released Reflections in Real Time in 2016). However, if you look back at her history, you’ll find that she’s been writing and producing music since the age of 18 (in 2012) and probably had over 40 plus tracks under her belt.
Playing in constant near darkness with backlit flashing lights, Kish mentioned that she’s basically playing the entire Mothe EP live. Kish, with the help of her DJ/Producer, was always creating a “new live production of all the songs”.
Brooklyn’s Wet closed out the show at the Varsity Theater. The band played a good mix of songs between their debut Don't You (2016) and Still Run (2018). Originally a trio, featuring Kelly Zutrau, Joe Valle, and Marty Sulkow, but currently it’s just Zutrau and Valle, with touring synth and drummer.
Although Still Run came out in July 2018, via Columbia Records, the band didn’t do a proper album promo tour until earlier this year. That is because they spent last year opening for Florence + The Machine, which, on a sonic level, they do share an indie pop/electronic pop sound to complement Florence.
As normal, earlier hit singles like “Don’t Wanna Be Your Girl” drew the biggest reaction from the crowd.
If you enjoy xx and London Grammar, you’ll need to get onboard with Wet and see what you’re missing.
NOTE: Apology to Hana Vu, as we had a camera malfunction and is only displaying photos from an iPhone.
