There are a few bands that force me to throw any pretense of journalistic objectivity out the window and turn me into a fanboy wanting to sprinkle my reviews with OMG! Lucius is one of those bands. I am a sucker for Jess Wolfe’s and Holly Laessig’s voices and stage presence. This is the band I was most excited to cover as part of Rock the Garden 2015.
Lucius came on stage looking as if they took a wrong turn at New York fashion week and ended up in MN. They opened their 45 minute set with “Nothing Ordinary” and played a song from the new album that they are working on. My personal highlight was “The Tempest” when their harmonies sent cold shivers down my spine.
Set List:
