Ivy Lab at Fine Line (01 Oct 2024)

Infinite Falling Ground P.t 2 The Perimeter Left With You Curves Precious Why does she pace pt 1 Olo Tearjerker Cut Cut Why does she pace pt 2 Saxon Blockhead Lucy Earthflax Prodigal Read More Ivy Lab London outfit Ivy Lab is headlining the Fine Line, in Minneapolis on October 1st, 2024, kicking off Rocktober properly. ....

Kicking off Rocktober is London outfit Ivy Lab, headlining the Fine Line, in Minneapolis, as part of their promotional tour for Infinite Falling Ground P.t 2.

Typical DJ shows, as soon as doors were opened, there’s music pumping, courtesy of Atlanta’s Mirror Maze. He’s also playing in Denver with Ivy Lab and has his hand in “Daydream” as a remix from Player Dave.

With DJ shows, the music never stop. After an hour, the handoff was to Los Angeles’ Lake Hills, who started working with Ivy Lab’s 20/20 global series during the lockdown. Lake then went on to working with Ivy Lab’s original Infinite Falling Ground in 2022, developing the visuals and help contributed to the album.

What’s cool about Ivy Lab’s show is that they played two sets. The main set is for their new Infinite Falling Ground P.t 2, and then they played again at 11pm, as “an encore DJ set”.

With Infinite Falling Ground P.t 2, there was an hour-long full length film, which tells a story, while Ivy Lab provided the audio soundtrack. It’s really interesting how the music can change the movie’s mood and tone. The music convey horror to excitement to dread to calm… Sometime Sabre (aka Gove Kidao) would just pause what he’s doing and just admire the film shown behind him.

After Infinite Falling Ground P.t 2 completed, San Diego’s Player Dave (aka Charles Sahmk) stepped in to keep the audience dancing into the night for Ivy Lab to finally play their encore set.

Oct 4 Denver, CO, US Ogden Theatre

I've been blessed in working with so many wonderful people (both in front of and behind the microphones) with whom I’ve shared much creativity and laughter.

Rocktober on the Road 2024!

Rocktober is so big this year, the WHM KC field office is busting of out their normal space and hitting the road to catch some very special shows that are not hitting out market, and some one-of-a-kind experiences. Here’s what we’re packing our bags for, to catch live.

(ticket hyperlinks are embedded in each show's headline, in case you'd like to attend as well):

 

Read More The National The National dropped their 6th album last month titled Trouble Will Find Me. The album (featuring such talents as St Vincent, Sharon Van Etten and Richard Reed Perry of Arcade Fire), took nearly three years to cultivate...

OCT 3 The National / The War on Drugs / Lucius- Moda Center, Portland, OR

Two leading alternative and Grammy-award winning rock bands The National and The War On Drugs have combined forces along with special guests Lucius for a 19-date fall outing dubbed the Zen Diagram Tour, marking the first time any of these bands have toured together in this way. Produced by Live Nation, the tour kicked off last month in Gilford, NH and wraps in Mexico City in just over a week.

We’re fans of each and feel it’s money well spent to see any one of them, much less all three- we traveled to San Diego last year to see The National live, can’t wait for finally see The War on Drugs live, and took in the blissful harmonies of Lucius most recently in 2019 in St. Paul.

“I’m excited! These are gonna be short shows for both of our bands, I think. We’ve been doing two-and-a-half-hour shows lately a lot,” says The National’s Matt Berninger. “And that’s amazing, but I’m looking forward to being able to conserve energy and give a much tighter, shorter performance.”

The War on Drugs’ singer/guitarist Adam Granduciel adds. “It’s three great bands, it’s shorter sets than normal, but I feel like that’s just going to reach a greater level of being present with our set, you know? And it’s just about going out and playing great music for people that want to see some great rock and roll music.”

 

Read More SAGA For nearly 50 years, this iconic band has been pioneering music innovation and thrilling audiences globally. Join us for an unforgettable night as they perform hits like "Wind Him Up", "On The Loose", "Humble Stance", and "Don’t Be Late".

OCT 17 Saga- Arcada Theater, St. Charles, IL

One of the best and longest tenured Canadian prog pop rock bands (that many have barely heard of), are returning to the Midwest, playing a rare date outside of Chicago, at the same venue they played five years ago, to the month. Prior to that show, they hadn’t played a Chicagoland concert since 1985, so these live appearances are special and treasured.

Saga formed in 1977 in Oakville, Ontario, releasing their self-titled debut album the following year. Since then, the band has sold over ten million albums and performed in over 20 countries to over 15 million people.

Their hits include "Don't Be Late", "Wind Him Up", "The Flyer", "Scratching The Surface", and their biggest US radio success, "On The Loose" and they were forward thinking enough to film early music videos that MTV played in regular rotation, in its early days.

The band’s recorded content is vast- with almost two dozen studio albums and the latest being the acoustic-leaning, "Symmetry", from 2021 via earMUSIC. Their biggest markets outside of Canada have been such diverse places as Germany, Puerto Rico, and the Nordic countries, but they’ve cultivated some kind of still-loyal core fan base in almost every country.

Approaching fifty years as a band, they’ve sounded refreshed and anew since the return of singer Michael Sadler, and additions of newer members, drummer Mike Thorne and bassist Dusty Chesterfield, giving added life to their classic songs.

Sadler recently had a cancerous growth successfully removed, and the one remaining “X-factor” is legendary guitarist Ian Crichton, who broke his foot/leg and was left unable to play a full live show. Chesterfield stepped into the guitar duties while friend Michael 'Mike' Borkosky joined on bass, but of course, we’re very much hoping Crichton will be healed enough to perform again (even if from a chair).

“We’ll be back, I promise.” Sadler said at the finish of their 2019 Arcada appearance, and five years later, he’s kept his word, and we couldn’t be more excited.

 

Read More Rock and Roll Hall of Fame One of the events we managed to attend was this year’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony and Concert at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY, a true end-of-year music highlight.. …

OCT 19- Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony – Rocket Mortgage Arena, Cleveland, OH

A genre-spanning batch of legends will join the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as part of its Class of 2024. Expect appearances from Busta Rhymes, Dr. Dre, Demi Lovato, Dua Lipa, Ella Mai, James Taylor, Jelly Roll, Julia Roberts, Keith Urban, Kenny Chesney, Lucky Daye, Mac McAnally, Method Man, Roger Daltrey, Sammy Hagar, Slash and The Roots will all be present at the Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse in Cleveland for the annual ceremony.

The Class of 2024 includes Mary J. Blige, Cher, Dave Matthews Band, Foreigner, Peter Frampton, Kool & the Gang, Ozzy Osbourne and A Tribe Called Quest in the performers category. In the musical influence category, Alexis Korner, John Mayall and “Big Mama” Thornton will be inducted; all three pioneers are deceased, with Mayall dying at the age of 90 this July, just three months after his induction was announced.

Additionally, Jimmy Buffett, MC5, Dionne Warwick and Norman Whitfield enter the Rock Hall in the musical excellence category. Suzanne de Passe will be given the Ahmet Ertegun Award.

Yes, the event will again stream live on Disney+ and be available to stream on-demand afterward, but there’s no substitute for actually being in the building. We loved going to last year’s ceremony at the Barclays Center. As previous, a broadcast special will also air on ABC on January 1 as well.

 

Read More Duran Duran Multi-platinum superstars Duran Duran is currently on their “Paper Gods World Tour”... they’ll be stopping by the Xcel Energy Center in St Paul next Saturday …

OCT 31- Duran Duran Madison Square Garden, New York City

In a redux of a very special show they performed during their 2022 Las Vegas residency at the Wynn, Duran Duran are summoning all Halloween enthusiasts to show up, dress up, and celebrate at their Danse Macabre Halloween Party.

The band is out in support of the new Deluxe version of their 16th studio album, Danse Macabre, due out October 11, which adds their cover of ELO’s “Evil Woman”, a re-imagined “New Moon” and the spooky instrumental, “Masque of the Pink Death”. The record threads together new music, themed covers, and darkly re-imagined versions of the band’s classic tracks in a fresh and unique way.

“It will be no ordinary show,” the band shared on Instagram about their Halloween MSG concert. “A unique production featuring the hits alongside songs from the crypt on October 31st.” We were blessed to shoot the band live in 2016 during their Paper Gods Tour, and can’t wait to see them again, especially performing this unique Halloween concert.

We’re “moody and gray, mean, and restless” in the best possible way, to catch this very special setlist played live, after missing the previous themed show in Las Vegas.

Billy Bragg
The Palace of Fine Arts Theatre
San Francisco
September 26, 2024

“We're in this temple of art, and we're having a punk rock of a time aren't we?” Billy Bragg asked midway through his concert at the picturesque Palace of Fine Arts Theatre in San Francisco. After 40 years of being Britain’s ornery, politically progressive troubadour in the style of Woody Guthrie and Kirsty MacColl, Bragg still stays true to form. A Billy Bragg show mixes plenty of pop with his politics, with long monologues between tried-and-true hits. At his Bay Area stop, he talked about everything from the flood levels in Florida to, of course, the upcoming U.S. presidential election. He even mentioned his support of the hotel workers’ strike currently going on in the city. The audience, fully seated in this scenic venue, whooped and hollered in approval. And of course, he fit in “There Is Power in a Union” in his set.

At 66 years old, many of Bragg’s fans have grown up with his music. But he made it clear with his words and music that he welcomed people of any age. From love songs laden with ‘80s and ‘90s pop hooks, to country-inflected crooners, Bragg is still the progressive. He mentioned that he’s updated some of his songs to keep up with the times. Thus, the lyrics for his pop hit, “Sexuality”—which appeared on his 1991 album, Don’t Try This at Home, and featuring lyrics like, “Just because you’re gay/ I won’t turn you away…”—now supports trans rights and the trans community.

I have fond memories of various Billy Bragg shows that felt like raucous pub singalongs, but tonight’s performance was more stripped-down, with just one backing keyboardist, instrumentalist, and vocalist, JJ Stoney, and Bragg switching off between his electric and acoustic guitars. (As someone who had just spent the past week reliving my ‘90s glory days and dancing my arse off at all four of ‘90s britpop band Pulp’s West Coast shows, I was grateful for the respite that Bragg’s seated performance provided.)

Bragg talked about having played recently in Vancouver on the same night as Johnny Marr and Paul Weller, joking that Canadian fans of ‘80s indie rock had big choices to make that night. Then, he tickled the crowd by singing a bit of each artist’s tunes, paying his respects. Ever the political antagonist, Bragg even dropped in a lyrical dig at Marr’s former Smiths bandmate, Morrissey—who’s stirred up plenty of controversy these days with his nationalist rhetoric—during “Sexuality,” replacing “Don’t threaten me with misery” with “Don’t threaten me with Morrissey…” “Whatever happened to that guy?” Bragg joked afterwards.

As for the music, Bragg had something from his expansive catalog to please everyone, crooning decades-old pop hits like “She’s Got a New Spell,” “Shirley,” and “The Milkman of Human Kindness” to “Way Over Yonder in the Minor Key,” from his collaboration with Wilco. Bragg’s voice is as pleasing and plaintive as ever, and even stripped down, stirred the crowd.

And his wit was in fine form, as well. He talked of playing cruises with Lyle Lovett, and different festivals with all different genres of music, declaring himself “genre-fluid.” Anyone new to Bragg’s live shows might not be used to his lengthy discourses on the state of the union, but, like his heart, he still wears his politics on his sleeve, calling socialism “organized empathy,” and telling the crowd before the encore, “I want to make you go home not just entertained, but with your activism recharged and your cynicism kicked to the curb.” Walking off into the San Francisco night, with the Golden Gate Bridge twinkling in the distance, my hope and spirits felt lifted for the week.

Rocktober rolls on! --

Here’s the remainder of the first week of a very busy month where warmer temps have held up so far, when normally we’d be moving into jacket weather.

KC Chiefs are undefeated, and the Royals try to conquer Baltimore on the road in post-season, and even though it’s not yet Halloween, gasp! but we’ve seen Xmas décor in stores already- too early! 

Note some canceled /postponed shows below.  

Let’s take look at the Kansas City / Lawrence KS metro musical happenings for the upcoming week, from October 4th to 6^th.

FRIDAY OCTOBER 4

Fontaines DC w Been Stellar, Oct 4, the Granada- Lawrence,$29.50-$35

The popular Irish post-punk rockers are on a Fall North American tour, in support of their newest album, Romance, the fourth studio album which came out August 23.

Arrive early for buzzing NYC act on The 1975’s label, Dirty Hit, Been Stellar who have a debut full-length out now, “‘Scream From New York, NY’ with its fourth and final single, ‘Pumpkin’, an intimate and soft track inspired by a visual the band’s frontman Sam Slocum had, "‘Pumpkin’ follows the previously released singles ‘Sweet‘, ‘All In One‘ and ‘Passing Judgement ‘.

Out on her “Get Ready” tour (which she’ll film for an Amazon special in Salt Lake City), the 20-year comedy vet has six previous Netflix specials under her belt.

Expect an hour of fast-paced material based on her life and journey into motherhood currently raising a 2-year-old toddler and a 6-month-old baby. In addition, Shlesinger has a podcast called Ask Iliza in which she answers fan-submitted questions, and her book, All Things Aside, is available in stores.

Thievery Corporation, Oct 4, The Truman,$35-$70

Peelander-Z at Nicollet Open Streets (28 Sep 2024)

They’re calling it “P-Party! Z-Party!”. If you’ve never seen a Peelander-Z show, do yourself a favor and check them out. …

Japanese/American punk band Peelander-Z is continuing their P-Party! Z-Party! tour, which started in September 2023, when we wrote, “If you’ve never seen a Peelander-Z show, do yourself a favor and check them out. They are one of the most interesting looking and creative bands you’ll ever see. And when you’re at the show, I can guarantee you that you’ll be singing (and possibly playing pots or drums) with the band.”

The Peelander-Z show was part of the Nicollet Open Streets event on September 28. The event is billed as “two miles of music and magic”, and is free and open to the public. The street block party (literally) blocks off Nicollet Avenue from 31st to 46th Street. We parked on 40th Street and ended up walking a few blocks to the Ramen Kazama Japanese restaurant on 34th. It is a long stretch of road, and organizers recommend bicycling in.

Between 40th and 34th, we were able to see, or got distracted by all sorts of pop-up events, like the Fabulous Everyday Zumba dance, David Cyr singing “Don’t Worry Be Happy”, Malamanya playing the Hola Arepa (with Salsa Brava between sets), skateboarding competition, open mic (complete with a drummer), and various food trucks and street vendors. There’s just too much going on, so if you didn’t have a schedule or guide, you’ll be lost in the two miles of entertainment.

We got to Ramen Kazama (which is own and run by Yuichiro Matthew Kazama, formerly of The Birthday Suits), a little early and caught the ending of Ray Barnard’s set.

Peelander-Z’s set time was advertised as 3pm, but the reality is that they didn’t even do soundcheck until 4pm. After testing out the mics and audio, Yellow’s running gag is “Bye, bye! Thank you for coming” and leaves, as if their whole show was only 5 minutes. We’ve seen it done before, it’s always funny. The show didn’t actually start until 4:25pm, and by this time, some fans had to leave due to other commitments.

We’ve seen Peelander-Z numerous times (eight times by my count), so we know what we’re talking about when we say this is one of the best live bands.

TokiDoki Burger mural by Peelander Yellow (May 2024)

Also, does it count if we saw a Peelander at a recent show? Apparently Yellow was in town to paint the Ramen Kazama’s wall mural in May (in celebration of the opening of TokiDoki Burger), and attended the Guitar Wolf show at the 7th Street Entry, which we did report that Peelander Yellow was in attendance.

Anyway, although the band members have changed over the years (we still miss Peelander Red), the new band members always bring in a fresh energy and personality (for example Peelander Black was the “serious” one).

The new band member, we’re calling Peelander Leopard, we really like. He’s young and doing crazy stuff, like surfing on the Armadillo sign. Also, there might be a new Peelander Green (there’s already been two previous Green drummers), we’re not actually sure.

The two consisting band members are Peelander Yellow (Kengo Hioki) and Peelander Pink (Yumiko Kanazaki). Pink, who recently celebrated her birthday, have taken a step back from the stage … but can be seen doing backup vocals, running around and supporting the band. She did, however, take center stage and sang out the cover of Cyndi Lauper’s “Girls Just Want to Have Fun”, which has been the band’s set finale for a few years now.

Some of the highlights and stables of a Peelander-Z show are the pots and pans/fans taking over the music instruments, limbo under the rope, and just audience participations (asking all the Mikes in the audience to come on stage, because there’s “So Many Mikes”). I think with all Peelander-Z shows, they could benefit from a large participating audience, especially during those body surfing portion of the show.

Yellow climbed the roof of the Ramen Kazama for a photo opportunity… but man, I can tell that looks dangerous. He had to get some help getting him back down. Still, you don’t see that every day, especially at a noodle shop.

P-Party! Z-Party! is out now. Please come out to a Peelander-Z show, you’ll have a lot of fun.

PS, we’ve never had Ramen Kazama before, so it was a real treat to get to eat/slurp some Japanese noodles after the show. Now we’re interested in coming back in the area to try out the Japanese burgers. We’ve had the Asian burgers at a McDonalds in Japan and Singapore, so we’re very interested in seeing Kazama’s take on burgers.

I wanted to share what summers in Maine with my best friends feel like, because my experiences here and the people I love make up so much of who I am.

Being from Philadelphia, he said he didn’t really comprehend the vastness of the middle of the country.After a few songs, Mendez was joined on stage by V who played bass and keys while providing vocals to songs that were brief with poignant lyrics that often ran counter to the light and breezy sound coming from his guitar.”
