Ireland’s Eden (aka Jonathon Ng) sold out the 7th Street Entry show in Minneapolis last Thursday, September 29th.


Elohim

Elohim

Opening up the show was Elohim. She has a lot in common with Eden, for example, both of them seemed relatively shy about public photos of them, and prefer to hide behind a hood or let their music speaks for themselves. Elohim often has her computer synthesized voice read text for her. The shyness add a layer of mystery and, hearing from both the young women and men in the audience, they are in love with these performers.



Elohim came on the stage with what looks like a hooded raincoat with the words XA/AX, which is actually named after one of her debut single, “Xanax” (which she did play).



Behind Elohim is a screen showing various video montages to her songs. I’m assuming they’re synced with her music, like during ‘Hallucinating’, she is showing one of the strangest movie ever made, The Holy Mountain (1973).



Eden came on stage slightly earlier than expected, causing fans to simultaneously explode in screaming. Clearly he has built up quite a following of mostly a younger fanbase. Eden is treated like a heartthrob, and when he took the stage, 100% of the audience held up their phone to record or take a photo of their idol. No really, everyone in the audience had their phone up!



If you dig further into his fandom, you’ll know that he has a very passionate following. They try and decipher everything from musical intro to what kind of shoes he is wearing.



Eden seemed to know this. After all, why else name his sophomore EP I Think You Think Too Much of Me? Still, he seemed rather pleased at the turn out and a little humble about the whole thing. His set included almost everything from I Think You Think Too Much of Me and End Credits.

With so many Eden fans, it’s easy to see why his music racked over 30 million streams (with his recent ‘Sex’ single racking over 4.3 million listens alone).
