at Turf Club La Luz Setlist
Mia Joy Setlist
|
Chicago-based musician Mia Joy opened the show, stating that this was their first time playing in the area. The band played several tracks from their latest Celestial Mirror. Looking at their written setlist, it’s actually not correct. For example, the song “Stranger” was not written on the set, and was described as a brand-new and unreleased song that they were testing out. Also, “Haha” was played much later in the set. Perhaps the changes were made last-minute, but whatever they put on stage was not correct.
Their music is best described as shoegazing, in the ethereal type, not shoegazing as in guitar-driven. If this was their first time here, we’re looking forward to having them return.

La Luz at Amsterdam Bar & Hall (11 Mar 2022) (Cancelled)
|
La Luz’s frontwoman Shana Cleveland was incredibly pleased that the show had sold out, especially because she didn’t think anyone would show up for their show. Their previous show, at the Amsterdam Bar in March 2022 was cancelled, due to post-recovery from the pandemic.
Now, fresh with a new album, News of The Universe, their first on Sub Pop, the “surf noir” is back, stronger than ever.
Prior to “Close Your Eyes”, the band came walking on stage, hiding behind a giant sun. The first few songs on their set really demonstrated their great harmonies and layering effects.

Ty Segall (with La Luz) at Turf Club (24 Sep 2014)
|
The band really loves the Turf Club, giving shout outs to the friendly staff and even their restaurant portion, “the Clown Lounge. Didn’t know I needed it…” and the first time the band played the Turf Club, it was ten years ago, opening for Ty Segall. Cleveland had never body surf before, so it was her first time at the Turf Club. She was scared and nervous, but looking over and seeing Ty giving the thumbs up, it was all right.
All the songs on the set were original La Luz songs, except for The Zombies cover, “Time of the Season”, which sounded very faithful on stage.
Hopefully, now with a bigger fanbase (selling out and all), that the group will be back in the Twin Cities area soon.
