I’m still stuck in college-visiting mode, yikes that wasn’t super fun. I’ll get back to regular posting soon once I’m back in the groove.

GALLERY: Overcoats

by Mon Ford

Overcoats, the indie pop duo of Hana Elion and JJ Mitchell, took the stage of The Back Room at Colectivo last week in Milwaukee, Wisconsin to a crowd of dedicated fans, including a 7-year-old with a handmade sign. Overcoats’ opener, Plastic Picnic, captivated the crowd with their chill synth pop and a guitar player doing double-duty for both bands that night. Overcoats’ performance embodied their decade-long partnership and vocal chemistry as they held hands, danced in unison and sang their signature harmonies. The duo performed some of the recent singles of their third album, “Winner” (released under their own label April 7 this year), including their personal favorite, “New Suede Shoes,” and the titular track, which, as Hana described it, is about “faking it ‘til you make it.”

A stand out moment of the show had Hana and JJ asking the crowd for a song to cover as they, along with their guitarist, attempted to pick it up on the fly. They performed a shaky “Jolene” before landing “Landslide” by Fleetwood Mac (pun intended) to an encouraging audience– all as a warm up for their iconic cover of Hozier’s “Cherry Wine.” Check out some of our highlights below.
