Los Angeles duo Girlpool recently stopped by the Triple Rock Social Club in Minneapolis (October 23) to celebrate their sophomore album Powerplant (Anti- Records).
Chicago’s Lala Lala (Lillie West, Karla Bernasconi, Abby Black) opened up the show. The band had a DIY girl rock sound to them and their music seemed to fit in really well with the Girlpool audience. They ended their brief 30-minute set featured many songs from their debut record Sleepyhead, ending with ‘Future Flower’, a song that they’ve confessed had never been attempted to play live before.
Next up was Philadelphia, by the way of New York, Palm (not to be confused with Palms), a band that suffers from that common-band-name, making searching for them difficult.
After hearing the sad news that the Triple Rock Social Club would be closing its door come November 22nd, the four-piece (guitarist/singer Eve Alpert, guitarist/singer Kasra Kurt, drummer Hugo Stanley, bassist Gerasimos “Gerry” Livitsanos) band was pleased to have the opportunity to play the much beloved punk club.
The band, at least Eve, also announced that they have fallen in love with the city and decided to move here after this year. This isn’t the first time a Philadelphia band moved here, I know at least one other band, Strange Names, relocated here as well.
Their 45-min set included ‘Ankles’, ‘Child Actor’ and their set closer ‘Two Toes’.
Girlpool closed out the night. Although they are normally a duo of Harmony Tividad and Cleo Tucker, they’re joined on stage by a live touring band, synth Joshua Sushman, guitarist Lauren Early, and drummer Ross Chait.
The band mentioned that they thought about cancelling the gig because they had to pull out Tividad’s wisdom tooth recently. She was still in pain, but soldiered.
The group was last seen in the area in May 2017, when they released Powerplant, but decided to come back around since they were already scheduled to play a couple of Fall festivals, including Sound on Sound Festival in Austin, Texas.
Unlike Palm, we know that Girlpool will not be moving here, as Tucker gave out a loud, “It’s cold here, holy sh***!” (it was only sweater weather in Minneapolis for the natives on this night).
Like their previous 2017 tour, Girlpool played mostly Powerplant songs, but throwing in some Before the World Was Big (Wichita Recordings) to fill out the time.
