San Francisco’s Geographer (aka Michael Deni) is back in Minneapolis, as part of his Spring 2016 tour.

The Crookes

Opening up the show was Sheffield’s The Crookes. The British indie band first came to our attention when they were in Austin, Texas, playing seven (seven!) shows as part of SXSW 2014.

With already four albums under their belt, they mostly concentrated on their latest Lucky Ones (Modern Outside), taking up half their set (“The World Is Waiting”, “If Only for Tonight Roman Candle”, “I Wanna Waste My Time”, and “Real Life”). Singer and bassist George Waite does his best rock and roll stance on these newer songs.

Among some of their older songs, they played their first single “A Collier's Wife” and that mini-novel of a song demonstrated why Noel Gallagher once said that The Crookes has “got good lyrics.”

Setlist

Geographer’s current tour featured a good mix of songs from his three albums (Innocent Ghosts, Myth, and Ghost Modern), plus a couple of cover songs from his latest cover lover compilation called Endless Motion Vol. 1.

Singer and multi-instrumentalist Michael Deni is joined on stage by Jo on cello, Duncan on keys/guitars, and Cody on drums. Deni noted that he was ecstatic to hear one of his song on Go 96.3 radio, driving up to Minneapolis. He also made sure that he was thankful to see returning fans.

A couple of covers from Endless Motion Vol. 1 made it on their set, including a Paul Simon one (“I Know What I Know”), done early in their set, and an Arthur Russell song (“This Is How We Walk on the Moon”), which required a saxophone.

They ended on a high note with “I'm Ready”, which was followed by a double song encore - older songs “Paris” and “Night Winds”. Despite hearing the “one more song” chant, the show was over.

San Francisco’s Geographer (Mike Deni) will be in town this Friday at the Triple Rock Social Club. We previously caught them in 2013 and wrote, “As for Geographer, as you can see from their setlist, the majority of their set is taken from last year's Myth album, which Jess described as "I believe this album is meant for the romantics, is the soundtrack to that moment of adventure, where grabbing the hand of the one you love and taking that drive up the coast is the only thing that really matters in the world."”

Opening the show will be Sheffield four-piece The Crookes. You may recall we interviewed the band in 2014.

Minneapolis’ alt-rock Throw the Fight is back with a new album called Transmissions (Bullet Tooth). The record comes out April 8th, and you can pick it up at their album release show this Friday at the Fine Line Music Café.

Since releasing their single “Drown With Me”, singer James Clark described it as, “about realizing you are trapped in a relationship that isn't going anywhere and you’re just going through the motions. It's about you both knowing it's over and that it's not going to end well, but it's easier to stay trapped and unhappy than move on into the unknown.”

The seasoned-touring band (previously toured with Bullet For My Valentine, Black Veil Brides, Avenged Sevenfold, Papa Roach, Sevendust, etc.), the band will gear up for some Midwest dates with Trapt this April.

Opening the Fine Line show will be with special guests Vaudeville, The Modern Era, and Smiling Politely.

HEADLINE DATES:
4/8 | Minneapolis, Minn. | Fine Line Music Cafe
