SLEEPY SUN
sleepysun.net
On Monday (10/28), we have Sleepy Sun to open up for City and Colour over at First Avenue in Minneapolis. I've previously mentioned that I was introduced to City and Colour by girls swooning over his tour poster - so he's definitely has his fans.
As for Sleepy Sun, I managed to catch the band in 2009, when they were touring in support of Embrace.
The San Francisco band recently released their new 7" on Dine Alone Records called "The Lane" (backed with "11:32"), which you can hear on Soundcloud.

SMALLPOOLS
smallpoolsmusic.com
Next door, on the same name Tuesday (10/29), at the mainroom at First Avenue is Smallpools and Walk the moon and Twenty One Pilots.
Smallpools is an up-and-coming indie pop band, forming in early 2013. Based out of Los Angeles, the group consists of four members: Sean Scanlon (vocals), Mike Kamerman (guitar), Beau Kuther (drums), and Joe Intile (bass). Their first single "Dreaming" was released online in May of 2013, and has already been featured in the FIFA 14 soundtrack, as well as the show The Vampire Diaries. The debut self-entitled EP, under RCA Records, was released on July 16, 2013.
Smallpools recently went semi-viral on the internet when the group decided to "commandeer" a self-playing piano in the lobby of a movie theater. There they played an acoustic version of their hit single "Dreaming" which attracted a small crowd, including security. They were granted permission to finish, and, upon doing so, were peacefully escorted out. A bystander commented that they were "inspired" by the performance.
