Twin Shadow w/ Erik Hassle at First Ave, Minneapolis (13 Apr 2015)

Opening up was Swedish pop singer/songwriter Erik Hassle, just following his sold out tour with New Zealanders' Broods (who we just saw in Minneapolis in March 2015). Currently signed to RCA Records, the crooner latest single "No Words" is quickly becoming this the Summer single according to Time Magazine.

Twin Shadow's "Eclipse Tour", with support from Movement, was meant to play Minneapolis in September 2014, when they had to postponed the event to last week. It may have been a better choice, given that the city is now experiencing some much needed warmth and sunshine.

So what has Lewis Jr. been up to? From my understanding, he took the months off to carefully plan this current tour, getting all his ducks in a row and strategizing key appearances (including his recently Tumblr SXSW appearance; see photo).

As you can see from the setlist, this was indeed the "Eclipse Tour", with the majority of tracks from his latest Eclipse album, including the title track and fan favorite "To The Top" (which he performed on Conan O'Brien in June 2014). The newer songs are more approachable to the masses, which is a departure from his two previous indie releases (Forget and Confess).

While it's been noted that Eclipse had very few guitars, as you can see from the live stream and photography, Twin Shadow, with a full band, still had plenty of guitars to go around.

04/19 Belly Up Aspen, CO+
04/21 Urban Lounge Salt Lake, UT+

Too Many Twins

TWIN SHADOW
twinshadow.net

Los Angeles-based George Lewis Jr., or better known by his stage name Twin Shadow, has been around since 2010 with his debut album Forget.

Warner Bros. Records recently announced that they've signed Twin Shadow to their roster, and will be releasing his third album in 2015.

George Lewis Jr. wrote about the WBR news, "Towards the end of the recording of the third Twin Shadow album I came into a strong feeling, a place of creative change from which I'd like to give you an uncompromised experience at every turn. In order to push in the right direction I had to put the brakes on the tour, the planned album release, and reconsider where Twin Shadow was headed. With a bit of perspective I came to realize that I was going to need help to pull off the vision for this next album.

I'm excited to announce that I've found a group of like minded people at Warner Bros. Records to help me accomplish this goal. In the interest of progress and adventure I look forward to the new relationship (and hopefully a coffee with Prince)."

Prince... you know what that means? What are the chances he'll be around on April 13th at First Avenue in Minneapolis?
