Another blurb from a BJM board member regarding the Minnesota show.Good to see Courtney seemingly over his spat with Anton for the time being: So I went and saw the Dandy's finally after missing them the last
few times they've been through Minnesota. They played what I
believe was their first show at First Ave here in Minneapolis. To
my surprise the show looked close to sold out, and after missing
about 20min of the beginning of their set I struggled through the
crowd to find a suitable place to stand. I was actually pretty
impressed with how good the show turned out to be. A pretty broad
set-list was played with a pretty noticeable lack of songs off the
new album (imo). One of the funniest moments occurred when a young
woman was pulled up out of the crowd to get spankings from Zia
during what I believe was White Gold. When Zia finished Courtney
handed the girl the mic to say a few words. The girl seemed pretty
drunk but screamed out one question. "Hey! Do you know Anton?!"
This question totally took me by surprise due to the fact that she
didn't know the dandy's at all, and well, what an odd question to
ask in front of an almost full First Avenue crowd? Courtney
meanwhile, simply turns his head, looks at the crowd and
mutters.."Doesnt everyone know Anton?.." In a slow, low pitch,
cooler than cool rockstar kinda way. The crowd erupts into laughter
and the band breaks into what I think was We Used to Be Friends.
