Cleverly partnered, Lord Huron has ingrained their music into the outdoors. In it, people embark into nature to camp and explore the great outdoors.
It also pulled me back to the Hyundia commercial where the song is used. It looked and felt like thousands of people catching fireflies in the dusklight. Their apropos titled song, “Ends of the Earth”, played as the audience held up their phones, trying to capture a personal small spark of the song. It was the pinnacle of their growl and fevered energy that had the audience clamoring after the song.Īs darkness finally took over, the Witch’s Hat Tower brimmed with lights in the distance. It built until their keyboardists gathered up an electric guitar and jammed center stage. The song slowly glides through a story of love and life we live, leaving an impact. Photo by Sara Fishīy the 12th song in the set, “The Birds Are Singing At Night”, communion was in front of us. Slowing it down for “The Ghost on the Shore”, the spirit of the song matched perfectly as the sun almost dipped down into the earth. Followed by “Hurricane” and the surfer vibe song “The World Ender”, the first third of their set felt polished and creatively planned out. The harmonies and oh’s of Lord Huron washed over the sold out field. By the time they rolled into “Time to Run”, the audience was engaged and joyously drinking along. They opened with “Love Like Ghosts”, spotlighting Ben Schneider playing guitar and singing, keeping us held in anticipation for the rest of the band to drop in. #lordhuron #emerald #sky #conert #green #iloveyou #takemebackĪ post shared by Carmel Larson on at 8:19pm PDT I'll cry and I'll cry if your light ever dies. You light up the night by blinkin' your eyes. With the Vide Noir symbol affixed above them, it’s fitting a band with “Lord” in the title could so easily blend to the church-like inspired set. Throughout the evening they provided us with colored textures, space with stars, and scenes of filtered kaleidoscopes of color. The backdrop of the set was lined with stained-glass window shaped video panels. The land of 10,000 lakes welcomed the band of 10,000 likes when they took the stage. Watching them tread in the footsteps of bands like Nirvana, PJ Harvey, and Soul Asylum, I have to believe their next album will push them even farther along. Alicia shared that she’ll be back soon to track their 3rd album at Pachyderm Studios here in Minnesota. A throwback to grunge, 90’s rock, and modern raw vocals, they bring a dynamic that appeals to all ages. There’s a contagious feeling to Bully that obviously is working. Glowing, and obviously proud of the band’s popularity growth, she shared her love of their music. Having seen them perform at First Avenue a few years back, she came just for Bully. They ended the set with their first single, “ Milkman,” and as it was their most known song, the crowd sang along and roared.Īfter the set I watched Alicia run back out on stage to pull the set-list for a dedicated fan. The crowd surged forward and swayed along. A well-crafted rock song that coaxes us through the verses, then grinds us through the dynamic chorus, it showcased the band perfectly. It was “Trying” that gave us a slower beat and pulled in a larger attention from the crowd. Knowing that Bully recorded their first album in Steve Albini’s Electrical Audio studio, you can hear the influences of his trademark sound scattered among the songs. “Running” and “I Remember” had the crowd in front jumping along to the highly energized band. Influences of grunge and punk immediately mixed together as Alicia’s voice led a collage of confessional whispers and howling statements. Scruffy guitars, driving drums, and angst-filled lyrics cut through the crowd. Native Alicia Bognanno brought her ’90s alt-rock revivalists group to our attention by starting off the set with “Brainfreeze”. Taking the stage first was Nashville formed and Minnesotan-fronted band Bully. Surly Brewing‘s Festival Field provided a perfect campground last night for a community of campers. Lighting and thunder, rivers and mountains, deserts and oceans, all forces of nature pulling us back around their virtual campfire.

Their lyrics are also chalked full of outdoor visuals. It makes sense when the band name is inspired by Lake Huron in Michigan, where Ben grew up visiting and spending evenings playing music around the campfire. Having seen them perform at Red Rocks Amphitheater earlier this year, there’s something about Ben Schneiders’ singing amongst the setting sun that emotionally connects us to their music. I’m convinced Lord Huron sounds better outdoors.
