JINJER brought their long awaited US tour to The Fillmore in Minneapolis a little over 17 months after the original May 2020 date. The anticipation was built up even more with the release of “Wallflower” and some of their strongest material to date.
JINJER brings a light show with them that is made for arenas but packed nicely on to the stage at The Fillmore making for a very impressive visual experience. From the start of the show with “Call Me A Symbol” and ending with “Vortex”, it was going to be a show that was not going to be easily forgot.
Each member of JINJER is a precise master of their instrument and that was extremely evident throughout the entire show. It was a master class in each instrument depending on which member you chose to watch for each song. Vlad doesn’t seem to hit the drums super hard but makes a loud statement with each note. Eugene’s bass playing stands out with intricacy while not over taking what Roman’s journey he’s taking you along on guitar. See my interview with Eugene below for more on that. Then you have Tatiana, a dominant force to be reckoned with on vocals. Her swagger is unmatched in the front person category reguardless of genre.
JINJER shows they are not messing around tonight heavily highlighting the new album “Wallflowers” playing most of the album live tonight which is greatly appreciated as it is such a strong album. “On the Top” and “I Speak Astronomy” go over big with the crowd just as much as “Disclosure!” from the new record. “Perennial” came off just as epic live as it does on record. Ending the main set with “Mediator” into “Colossus” was a nice touch as the both dominate.
While a good chunk of the crowd was probably waiting for “Pisces”, they did not get it tonight. JINJER ended the night with a victorious version of “Vortex” to send everyone home. While I’m sure it bummed some fans out that they didn’t hear “Pisces”, you can’t argue with the set list tonight as it highlighted some of their strongest material from the Wallflowers as well as Micro/Macro who’s touring cycle got cut short due to the pandemic. I look forward to JINJER’s return as this machine is only going to get stronger on the next tour!
