BEACH HOUSE IN CONCERT:
Dream pop duo Beach House plays a haunted rendition of ‘60s-style pop that is sure to captivate and mystify audiences wherever the group plays on tour. Singer/keyboardist Victoria Legrand is the focal point in concert, supporting her smoky vocals and graceful melodies with retro organ chords. Cutting through melodic basslines and minimal drum shuffles, guitarist Alex Scally weaves an intricate tapestry of chiming guitar notes. These sparse elements sound straightforward enough, but the group slowly adds layer after layer to create a climatic wall of sound on miniature epics like “Zebra”, “Norway”, and “Used to Be”. Ticket buyers can’t help but be swept off their feet as Beach House carefully constructs each intricate and atmospheric gem at their unforgettably hypnotic concerts.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
French-born vocalist/organist Victoria Legrand originally recruited Alex Scally to play bass for her Baltimore pop band in 2004, but he quickly romanced her away to form Beach House. Excited by the level of creative control they could achieve as a duo, the kindred spirits began composing their self-titled 2006 debut. Their atmospheric and mysterious take on classic pop struck an immediate chord with fans and critics, leading Pitchfork to name their debut one of the best albums of the year. The band signed to Sub Pop for 2010’s Teen Dream, which marked a major creative and commercial watershed for the band. While they’ve received increased attention in the following years, Beach House has kept their creative process unfettered: two best friends meticulously constructing one ethereal pop masterpiece after another. The results continue to transfix live audiences in concert and fascinate listeners on their recorded material, such as their critically praised 2015 album Depression Cherry.

by ace05 on 4/9/10Granada - LawrenceThis concert was great and very laid back. They played for a decent amount of time too. The opening act was iffy but not too bad.

by dprocto1 on 4/8/10Bluebird Theater - DenverBeach House is a wonderful band to listen to on CD, but their true magic can only be seen live! This is a must-see concert.

Rating: 4 out of 5 Contradictions
by hooha on 4/5/10Cedar Cultural Center - MinneapolisI really enjoyed seeing Beach House at the Cedar, but it was kind of an uncomfortable experience too. BH were annoyed that the audience was all seated. It was Easter Sunday night, clearly everyone was mellow. BH's music is also quite mellow. In fact, the guitarist sat through many songs. But everyone ended up standing after BH pretty much insisted on it. It was fine, and I do want bands to have a good time, but it all felt contradictory to the spirit of their music and the venue.
