Minneapolis band One For The Team started off the evening with a
bang, a power chord, and a few digital keyboard blips, surprising
the audience with a fine-tuned set of songs. For an opening band
with only one previous show under its members' collective belt
(though lead singer Ian Anderson - at the ripe old age of 21 - has
previous experience playing in Aneuretical and running his own
label, Afternoon Records), the band displayed impressive intensity
and an attentive reverence for geek rock.
One For The Team seems to blend their sound from a variety of
influences, borrowing heavily from Pinkerton-era Weezer and adding
Anderson's poignant, self-doubting lyrics and the band's refined
ability to change the tempo and feel on a dime.
Keyboardist Sam Gerard was entertaining to watch, as he convulsed
excitedly around the stage and occasionally hammered out chords on
his miniature keyboard. At times, Gerard and guitarist Bryan
Sonday would let out shrieks and yells behind the music, like
little caffeinated kids that can't figure out appropriate ways to
release out their bursting, insurmountable quantities of energy.
The entire band seemed to be channeling a force greater than
themselves, and with big grins it looked like they were on the
ride of their life. (howwastheshow.com)
