Doomtree

I could not sleep the night before in anticipation. I was nearly shaking with excitement when they were all together on one stage. They FAR exceeded my expectations. I died and went to DTR heaven that night. Brilliance, Originality, and Creativity in the Hip-Hop world. Minneapolis, we are SO lucky to have them!

This was hands down the most amazing show I have seen in a long time. It was great seeing sooooo much Hometown Talent doing their thing in a Major way.

This was hands down one of the best shows that I have been to!

I went to this show to see the opener and then left as I turn into a pumpkin if out too late. Speedy Ortiz is a fabulous band to see. They played some older songs mixed with the new hits. I was very excited to hear Basketball as they did not play that last month when I saw them. They are an incredibly hard working band who is always on the road it seems. So, catch them if you can.

It seemed like Doomtree was eager to get out of Portland the night they played. Granted, the State Theater wasn't packed to the gills, but the few fans that did show up were REAL fans. We drove from northern Maine and rented a hotel room to be able to see them. We bought the tickets. We bought the merch at the merch table. We stood in the front row, screaming and singing until we lost our minds. Dedicated fans got a good show, because we would have taken ANYTHING. But due to the fact that Doomtree was clearly dissatisfied with the crowd they played to, their set was very short. We managed to be loud enough to bring them back out for an encore, which was more than I was expecting. The most disappointing part of the evening, other than the short set, was the after-show interaction. 6 out of 7 members went out through the back door, and stood in the alley. Mike Mictlan went through the theater, giving fans the opportunity to have a picture taken, or tell him what a great show it was. No other band members came to the merch table, or came to meet and greet with fans. We went out back, to see if we could meet them, since they were all in the back alley of the theater. A theater employee said she would ask them to come meet us. ONLY P.O.S. came to shake our hand and get a picture. The rest of the band didn't even wave hi to us. For a band that made their start in the Indie scene, and relied on fans for support, they certainly gave us the old "screw you" when it came time to meet with the TWO fans that wanted to talk to them. We've been fans for over a decade, and we couldn't even get a handshake. Pretty sad.

I missed Doomtree's last local show and have regretted it for years. Seeing them live at The Sinclair this time only reinforced that regret as it made it even more clear what I had missed out on. From the first song to the last the group put more energy and passion in to their performance than possibly any other group I've seen. Amazing show and a group I highly recommend listening to regularly and seeing live whenever possible.

Always love going to their shows! The energy level is awesome! We love having Doomtree in Boston!

They killed it. Open Mike Eagle was great, and opening is never easy. Then Doomtree came out and just rocked it, got everyone dancing and having a great time. Definitely see them.

I went by myself to see DOOMTREE and had the best night of my life! #NoKings #AllHands

I will always recommend Doomtree. That being said, Dessa was missed and it was unfortunate that things started before the tickets said they would. We completely missed Toki Wright. And I was shocked they were done by 10pm.

Brought the house down! It would have been better if Dessa could have made it, but the while Doomtree group brought a great show to Mankato.

Even with a last minute venue change, Doomtree did not disappoint! They were even better than the last time I saw them a year ago. Nonstop high energy. Amazing chemistry. A very, very talented, motivated, humble group of musicians. Go see them any chance you get!

Great energy, very fun show. Opener was pretty terrible but oh well.

It was my first Doomtree show and it was outstanding!!!

Show was really very good, but I would have loved to see more Dessa! Her talent is tremendous and the writing is superior to anyone else in Doomtree. But the show was great and it was awesome that they scheduled an additional night for all the people that couldn't make it because of the blizzard. Overall, excellent.

The show was a ton of fun. I went to the "snow out" (the second all ages show, made up because if the blizzard).

Good interaction with audience, was very personal.

This show was wild...the Doomtree family has far more confidence and presence live than they seem capable of conveying in the studio. Their performance was extremely high-energy...a feat only capable with heavy crowd interaction and a sound system capable of deafining even the most experienced of concert goers. They sounded great, and seeing several members perform a few of their signature songs gave me a new appreciation for even those in the crew that haven't yet achieved wider notariety. All in all, the crowd was great, the venue was appropriate (although a poorly timed bathroom break lost me a spot near the front and I ended up seeing most of the concert peeping through gaps in the throng of bouncing supporters), and the doomtree clan didn't disappoint. Go to their next blowout and be amazed that everyone in the crowd knows every word to every song.

I had the incredible privilege of getting to see the Doomtree Blowout at FIrst Ave on 12-12-2010. First, this band is incredible because they were not supposed to perform that night: the original show was on the night of a terrible blizzard, so tons of people (including myself) got snowed in They played for that night and would not cancel the show, which is awesome. Then, they opened it up for another night (Doomtree Snowout). This is how much they love their fans. That was the energy they brought into First Ave. And the fans ate it up. It was one of the most energetic crowds I've been in. For the set list, they not only played a ton of fan favorite DTR songs, but they got to three-four songs from the solo projects of each member. Since they are all incredible artists in their own rights, it was a solid three show that never let up. The venue is always great. I've seen a lot of shows there and thank them for allowing not only another night of the Blowout, but also for letting the band put a "catwalk" in so they could walk out into the crowd. Overall, it was a crazy show that I am so glad I got to be a part of. The fans are always great and the band is the best. Wings and teeth.

This group works so well together and has pure talent with words and stage presence. You don't even have to know a lot of the words to get really into the show. It wasn't just listening to music it was connecting with a lot of amazing artists and djs.

Incredible energy and incredible skills the whole night from all the members. INTENSE.

By far the best show I've been to in my life! So much energy. DOOMTREE.

Best concert I've ever seen. Doomtree never disappoints. This is the third time I have seen some or all of the doomtree crew, and this is the best show yet.

Doomtree blew the place up for over three plus hours!

The Doomtree crew opens their collective arms to give you a hug and welcome you into their incredibly cool (and talented) family. All of its members uniquely contribute--Paper Tiger's beats, Lazerbeak's "pop" songs, Dessa's soul, Mike's energy, Sims's lyrics, Cecil's cut-up voice and laidback delivery, and P.O.S.'s eminating love for everything. The collective individuality of it all creates for a you-don't-know-what-they'll-do-next feel. And it also makes it feel like you're watching a real family. (My brother and I are very different, and I imagine if we took the stage together it would be a similar, but with far less talent, mash up.) As a native of St. Paul I look forward to watching the Doomtree crew grow as a group and individually.

I was actually there to see the opening act, Midnite Theory. I'm an LA native and I have seen this local band before and am in love with their style of music. They put on a great show. The other acts were great as well. The venue though. I am in love with the venue. If you like that feeling where you might as well be touching the artist, than you'll love this venue. The stage is pretty low and you can see the action from pretty much any point on the floor. I was front row but after MT were done I went to the bar for a drink and just milled around watching the next acts and it was just a great atmosphere. =)

Doomtree and Dessa were absolutely incredible as well. I had heard of Doomtree but I wasn't really too familiar with their music and they just blew my mind. Of course, the highlight for me was seeing P.O.S perform. He was just awesome. I got a picture with him talked with him for a mintute, nicest most talented guy ever. I would have 3xs what I paid to see them and definitely plan on going again. I drove all the way from Knoxville Tn and it was worth every cent. If you don't know who Doomtree, Dessa, or P.O.S is, do yourself a favor and check these guys out. You will not be disappointed!

It was fun to see the whole crew together. They were all on stage the whole time performing their own songs and songs together.
