About HEALTH

HEALTH is an industrial noise rock band from Los Angeles that's been making abrasive, technically precise music since the mid-2000s. They built a reputation on dense wall-of-sound production that somehow manages to be both punishing and weirdly catchy. Early albums established them as something between a rock band and a power electronics project, all distorted synths and harsh vocals layered over surprisingly groovy rhythms. By albums like 'Get Color' and 'Slave', they'd started incorporating more melodic elements without softening the aggression. They've collaborated with everyone from Merzbow to Chvrches, showing an interest in genre cross-pollination that keeps them from feeling too precious about their noise rock identity. Live shows have become increasingly cinematic, with video work and staging that matches the intensity of the music. They're the kind of band that appeals equally to noise enthusiasts and people who just want to feel something visceral.

HEALTH shows are sensory overload in the best way. The crowd gets genuinely physical, not aggressive but moving with purpose. Their visuals are integral, not decorative. Sound is immense. People leave damp and a little disoriented.

Known for Space Hound, Steal Money, Cybernetic Organism, We Are Water, Die Slow

HEALTH + Minneapolis

HEALTH has maintained a quiet presence in Minneapolis over the years, appearing sporadically but always with the same industrial-noise intensity that defines their catalog. Their July 2025 show at Pilllar Forum was a masterclass in controlled chaos. They opened with "Davenport (A Rotten Pear)" and didn't let up, threading together material from across their discography. "Gaia Wept" hit like a physical force mid-set, while deeper cuts like "Longinus" and "Your New Curse" showcased their ability to make noise feel architectural rather than random. "The Rotting Pair" and the closing "The Radiant Apostasy" sent the room out thoroughly unsettled—which is exactly the point.

Live Music in Minneapolis

Minneapolis has always had a soft spot for artists who operate outside conventional song structures. The city's experimental and electronic underground—shaped by decades of synth-forward indie and noise acts—provides natural ground for HEALTH's abrasive, maximalist approach. The local audience doesn't need their music pretty; they want it dense, distorted, and uncompromising. It's the kind of city that gets why HEALTH matters.

Minneapolis road trip to see HEALTH?

Stay in the Northeast Minneapolis arts district—it's where the city's creative energy actually lives, with galleries, vintage shops, and the Mississippi River nearby. Eat at Café Alma in the same neighborhood for restrained, high-quality Italian cooking. Spend an afternoon at the Walker Art Center, which sits on a rise overlooking downtown and has genuine landscape appeal. Grab coffee at Spyhouse, a roaster that takes itself seriously without the performative nonsense. The Stone Arch Bridge is worth a walk if the weather cooperates.
