The Gooch Palms is currently on tour in support of their new album Introverted Extroverts (Summer Camp Records). The Australian duo (Leroy Macqueen and Kat Friend) stopped by the Triple Rock Social Club in Minneapolis last Wednesday, September 28th.

Tights

Opening up the show was Tights (not to be confused with UK band The Tights), a local band that they originally wanted to be called “Hoes” but the singer’s mom didn’t like the sleazy name. The band came on stage slightly after 9pm and, thus, started a late, late show for a school night.

I don’t think they’re online at all, but I recognized the bassist Shannon Boyer from Royal Brat. I’m pretty sure the other girls are also in other bands... As we previously written, “Minneapolis is swarming with incestuous (creative) relationships.”

Since we couldn’t find their music online, they started their set with a song about ‘Breakfast’, and followed by songs about drinking and birth control.

The Controversial New Skinny Pill

Next up was The Controversial New Skinny Pill (guitarist Skyler, drummer Alana, bassist Dan and synthy Mariel), a hippy-ish weird psych band. Funny enough, Skyler confessed in the middle of their set that he actually ripped his pants doing a dance move on stage.

The ‘Skinny Pill ended their set with a cover of Bachman-Turner Overdrive’s ‘Taking Care of Business’.

The Black Widows

All-girls local trio The Black Widows (drummer Lady Tobalyas, bassist Pamela Laizure, and guitarist Corinne Caouette) closed out the show. The band’s self-titled cassette release is on Wiener Records, a subsidiary of Burger Records.

The band mostly played songs from their self-titled, such as ‘Big Daddy’, but they actually started their show with a brand new song called ‘Mummy Momma’, a Halloween song that they’ve written for their Halloween show “Black Widows’ Greatest Night Ever 3: Halloween Extravaganza!” (complete with Go-Go Dancers) on October 29th at Grumpy’s. Unfortunately, they only played the instrumental version, as they are saving the lyrical debut at the upcoming spooktacular show.

The Gooch Palms’s best-smell setlist ever was at the Triple Rock Social Club show. Apparently the duo wrote their set on their takeout box.

Smelly Setlist

The Gooch Palms are generally known for their over-the-top (and sometime Leroy would play in the buff) shows, but they seemed relatively “in check” at this show. As you can see from their smelly set, they mostly played songs from Introverted Extroverts, including GPBNO (“Gooch Palms Big Night Out”), ‘Sleep Disorder’ and ‘Living Room Bop’.

Late in their set, they explained that where Newcastle, Australia, is at (approximately three hours north of Sydney), and that they’ve never thought they’d be halfway around the world to play in dive bars across North America. They explained that they used to hang out at the ‘Hunter Street Mall’, watching the “smackies, d***heads, the honeys”.

The Gooch Palms continues their Introverted Extroverts Tour.

California’s Young The Giant is currently on tour in support of their highly anticipated third studio Home of the Strange (Fueled By Ramen). The album has already hit No. 1 on iTunes Alternative chart and top 3 overall when it was recently released.

Ra Ra Riot will open the show. The band’s latest album Need Your Light is available now on Barsuk Records.

We previously caught the New York band earlier this April 2016 at the Triple Rock Social Club, which we described as “a bit of an orchestral feel to them due to the violin and cello but at the same time, it's nothing short of great dancing music. It didn't matter what song they were playing, the crowd reacted the same way and was unable to stand still.”

We caught Porches at the 7th Street Entry in April 2016 and described their frontman Aaron Maine as “a charismatic young singer”.

Maine is back at the 7th Street, this time, as headliner and bringing Japanese Breakfast and London’s Rivergazer. We caught the former in July 2016 and noted that Michelle Zauner’s “songs were chilling yet up-beat. At times Zauner's voice was haunting and beautiful and other times you could really hear her punk side come out as she screamed into the microphone.”

Japanese Breakfast’s debut album, Psychopomp is out now on Yellow K Records (not to be confused with K Records).
