■ Breaking Benjamin
Breaking Benjamin is an American rock band from Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, formed in 1999 by lead singer and guitarist Benjamin Burnley and drummer Jeremy Hummel. The first lineup of the band also included guitarist Aaron Fink and bassist Mark James Klepaski. This lineup released two albums, Saturate (2002) and We Are Not Alone (2004), before Hummel was replaced by Chad Szeliga in 2005.

In true Minnesotan form, the forecast just a week ago was rainy and miserable but when Tuesday rolled around, it was like Breaking Benjamin brought the sunshine with them. The air was still crisp but couldn’t have been any better for this outdoor open spaced venue that is the Mystic Lake Amphitheater, in Shakopee. It gave us a reason to wear our favorite metal hoodie.

Kami Kehoe opened at 6 pm, a multi-talented singer, drummer, and writer of melodically heavy tunes. She just released her third album, Love Is a Weapon, less than a month ago, so she was proudly playing her new songs for us. She kept asking the crowd if they were hot, meaning overheated. I wondered why, perhaps she had played some festivals where people were fainting, but as stated before, it was a little chilly, getting down to the 50’s that night. As soon as a few hands went up, she was excited to be able to throw water into the pit. It made for good action shots. I’m sure the stage photographer was able to capture the cascading circular droplets falling like sparking gems above the audience.

As much as Kami’s raspy vocals alone makes me want to hear more from her, the next band similarly piqued my interest in that just their costumes are enough for me to want to learn more. STARSET’s lead singer Dustin Bates came onto the stage in something like an alien spacesuit, changing later, but the rest of the band members wore their outfits for the duration. They urged us all to join in their space cult. The music itself also tracks with the surrounding bands that night. They are on their fifth album, Silos, released around this time last year. When they played “a n n 1 h 1 l a t 1 0 n”, I took a mental note that I should go watch their music video.

Chevelle was the third band to take to the stage. I saw them a couple of years ago at the 93X Family Reunion tour, which is appropriate because the band was formed by two real-life brothers, Pete and Sam. Various people have made up the third member, currently Kemble the bassist, which one can argue is a chosen family. In any case, it continues to amaze me the layering of sound that three people can create. The ending songs are “The Red” and “Mars Simula,” tunes that I find myself humming long after the show was over.

Breaking Benjamin came out with “I Will Not Bow,” an absolute favorite of mine of theirs. As the crowd sang their song back to them, it was like an anthem. This is a sign of a band that can reach massive amounts of people, when each song feels like it’s speaking directly to you. When Benjamin said that they had been around for 20 years or so, he said maybe 22, he was being modest. If they were formed in 1999, that would literally be 27 years, around the time I was in college. The music transports me back to when I was 22. Speaking of family, he mused that it’s so awesome that he’s able to see sometimes three generations of fans at their shows. With such a repertoire to pull from, every song was a banger and recognizable.
