thxsomuch Transforms Minneapolis into a Frenzy of Sound and Feeling
From the moment the lights dropped and the first guitar chord rang out, the mood was charged. ThxSoMch brought a presence that felt both unpolished and urgent not the kind of over the top polish that some arena shows deliver, but instead a kind of wild edge that fits his music’s cross genre leanings.
The band’s instrumentation was tight yet raw, jagged guitar lines, a driving rhythm section, and vocals that oscillated between vulnerable whisper and shouted release. Crowd interaction was strong. ThxSoMch paused mid set to address the room, urging folks near the front to push inward, to feel the music rather than just hear it. That kind of rapport turned the venue into a single pulsing entity rather than a performer audience divide.
A crowd of loyal fans and curious newcomers, the vibe was communal rather than detached. Some folks were singing every word, others were discovering new songs and responding with genuine excitement. The communal energy peaked during the louder moment
ThxSoMch delivered a genuine, compelling live show one that aligned with his album’s themes of vulnerability, mockery, coping, and survival. If you’re drawn to music that sits at the intersection of alt rock, emo emotionality, and post punk urgency, then this is an act worth following.
Before the headliner even took the stage, the crowd was already buzzing thanks to RE6CE. The rising electronic artist proved exactly why they’re quickly becoming one of the most talked about openers in the scene. Blending cinematic sound design with heavy bass and emotional drops, RE6CE set the tone for the night in spectacular fashion.
From the moment the lights dimmed, there was an undeniable energy in the room. RE6CE opened with a hypnotic intro that built anticipation, pulling the audience into a world of ethereal synths and chest rattling percussion. Each transition flowed effortlessly, creating a set that felt more like a story than a performance one that blurred the lines between chaos and beauty.
By the time the final track dropped, the crowd was roaring proof that RE6CE isn’t just an opener; they’re an artist on the rise, commanding attention with every beat. If this performance was any indication, RE6CE won’t be opening shows for long they’ll be headlining them soon.
