Consequence Of Sound (+ review)

Eleventy thousand smartphone owners have attended the Minor Alps tour this month. Some of them used these devices to watch large portions of the shows through a screen with their arms held up.

So many in fact that it's been hard to keep up.

A roundup is therefore required commencing with more from the Los Angeles shows. See earlier posts here for links for the first few gigs.

Thanks to everyone who has submitted or shared these links here or elsewhere on the internet. In particular thanks to liveontomorrow reader Carlos for submitting dozens of recent links that appear here, and also to Andrew who has been keeping us all up to date with news for many years chiefly via the This Is The Sound group. If you're a member there, these links have already been posted on that group too. It is really appreciated guys.

Thanks too to the uploaders, obvs.

With one exception, these are single camera YouTube efforts.

I don't think this was previously announced.

More from the Echoplex show earlier this week.

There's a short review at LA Record, which includes photos by Leslie Kalohi that are also available (and best viewed) at Flickr.

After a radio session earlier in the day, Minor Alps debut live appearance took place last night at the Neptune Theater, Seattle as part of the Barsuk Records 15th anniversary.

They both played acoustic guitar with Juliana also on keyboards, while Matthew ran the effects and drum loops.

Notable setlist moments:

Live On Tomorrow, baby! Live On Tomorrow with special Juliana guitar solo no less.

Candy Wrappers with Matthew on lead vocal.

Thanks to Charlie for the info.

Minor Alps will play an in-store acoustic set at Main Street Music, Manayunk, Philadelphia at 6pm on November 22.

This is ahead of their previously announced World Café Live appearance later that evening.

Juliana performed a live acoustic show today, broadcast via Livestream as an exclusive for PledgeMusic subscribers.

There was an unscheduled break halfway through when the stream broke down completely, and although some reported further problems those of us lucky ones without such issues saw a stream that was of a decent quality and Juliana sounding great.

This is the first time she has done anything like this and she seemed keen on feedback with a view to doing more. She said it felt odd not to see or hear her audience response. This, and indeed the whole atmosphere, sound and actual physical experience simply do not translate when the audience isn't in the room. For those of us privileged to have seen Juliana perform in person in recent years this virtual event didn't compare. At all.

So it was best not to think of it as a substitute for an actual gig, be thankful for what it was and as the set was largely made up of requests sent in by pledgees prior to the show, enjoy those live rarity treats.

The setlist:

• Taxicab
• Hurt Me
• Learn To Fly
• I Picked You Up
• Make It Home
• Everybody Loves Me But You
• Hotels
• Until Tomorrow
• Choose Drugs
• Table For One
• For The Birds
• Law Of Nature
• The End Of The War

Juliana's new album project launches tomorrow (Sunday, June 2). While we wait, here's some further footage from last year's Melbourne shows with Evan Dando as uploaded to YouTube this week by Evie170.
