There wasn’t a point for Wilson to sing you couldn’t hear him over the voices being catapulted back at the stage. The ballad “Until I Fall Away” was another song that instantly connected with people. It is virtually impossible not to sing that chorus when you hear it and the proof of that could be seen at heard at the Varsity Theater. Its ultra catchy chorus had the crowd’s vocals in perfect unison. Obviously “Hey Jealousy” brought the house down. From the opening notes of “Lost Horizons” the crowd was dancing and singing right along.
When singer Robin Wilson announced they were going to play the entire ‘New Miserable Experience” album front to back the crowd went nuts. Proving that they are not a band that has rests upon it impressive back catalog, they opened with a couple of new songs with “Here Again” and “Break.” Both songs appear on the ‘Mixed Reality’ album that was released in 2018. The packed house cheered as the Gin Blossoms took the stage. The Black Moods are Josh Kennedy (Vocals/Guitar), Jordan Hoffman (Bass), and Chico (Drums/Percussion) and hopefully we get to see and hear a whole lot more from these guys. They closed the show with the infectious tune “Bella Donna” and I was instantly looking at their Facebook page hoping for another gig in the Twin Cities real soon. The guys were fun on stage and seemed very grateful to be opening for the Gin Blossoms and for the opportunity to play for everyone there. The band currently has song climbing the charts called “Bad News” and it was one of the many highlights of the set. It was one of those moments where I wished everybody I knew was standing beside me to watch them play and experience their groove and addicting vibe they had. That passion poured off the stage and it hard to believe they didn’t win over every person in the room. Forget about all those electronics, loops, and backing tracks that have become commonplace in today’s music scene, and witness a band that plugs in and plays with incredible passion. The Black Moods are a dynamic three-piece outfit that soak themselves in the fundamentals of rock-n-roll. Fans flocked into the sold out Varsity Theater in Minneapolis, Minnesota to hear ‘New Miserable Experience’ played in its entirety and allow those long lost memories to rush back to surface as the music played.īefore the Gin Blossoms, a fellow Tempe, Arizona band would take the stage first. If you were a fan of the band or not, you knew the hits and you could sing along or hum those infectious hooks and melody driven tunes whether you wanted to or not. When the label A&M jumped on board the album was given a proper release in the summer of 1993. The album was a soundtrack to the area and people that surrounded the band at the time. It took almost a year before “Hey Jealousy” broke into the Top 40 and “Found Out About You” followed a few months later. It was the second studio album from the Tempe, Arizona rockers and received less than outstanding reviews and very little fanfare.
The album ‘New Miserable Experience’ by the Gin Blossoms was released August 4, 1992.
