OF MONSTERS AND MEN
at Roy Wilkins Auditorium
Thursday, 10/01/2015, 6:30pm ($37.50)

first-avenue.com

I saw Icelandic band Of Monsters and Men in 2012 at the tiny Fine Line Music Café. It’s 2015, and the band will be playing Roy Wilkins Auditorium, which is a million times larger than the Fine Line.

OMAM is currently touring in support of their sophomore album Beneath The Skin (which came out earlier this Summer on Republic Records).

Supporting OMAM on this current tour will be Norway’s Highasakite. You may recall that we caught the band over at SXSW 2014.

With their sophomore album Silent Treatment spending 81 weeks in the Norwegian Top 40 charts and earning them Norwegian Grammys (Best Pop Album, Best Composition), two GAFFA awards (Norway’s biggest music magazine) and a nomination for the IMPALA awards’ “Best Independent European Album Of The Year,” it’s easy to see why this cinematic pop band will be welcomed by OMAM’s fans.

We were glad to have shown up early to catch American Scarecrows‘ full set at Communion (Oct 2014). As described in the review, they had very strong local support from fans, friends and family. Expect the same dedicated fanbase at this upcoming show.

Similarly we caught Trapper Schoepp randomly at with Old 97s in 2013, which Emily described as “probably my favorite live acts this year.”

Edward David Anderson ex-member of Backyard Tire Fire also on the bill.

Here is how they described the upcoming show:
