The kings and creators of self generated genre, “Doo-Wop,” Mister Heavenly, played at the Original Café Eleven on Nov. 8th for their “Out of Love” tour in classic dark jean jackets and black tipped dress shoes.
The indie rock super group Mister Heavenly, consists of the melodic voice of Nick Thornburn (Islands/the Unicorns), gravel vocals and pounding keys player Ryan Kattner (Man Man) and veteran drummer Joe Plummer (Modest Mouse/the Shins).
Mister Heavenly sounded as fresh and darkly dreamy as the album. We are talking chocolate swirl ice cream on a cake cone. The crowd reflected this aura of bittersweet love when they would progress from swaying side to side in a trance to crowd surfing.
