JULY TALK w/ Purple
at Triple Rock Social Club
Saturday, 06/13/15, 8pm ($8/18+)
Details: triplerocksocialclub.com
Canada's July Talk is currently on tour for their self-titled album (Island/Polydor/Universal Records), which got them a 2015 Juno Award Nomination for Alternative Album of the Year. They are stopping by the Triple Rock next Saturday, June 13th.
The band is described as an alt-blues rock quintet and sings in "conversations" with singers Peter Dreimanis and Leah Fay trading lines in a lyrical face-off. It should be a fun show.
Opening up for them will be Texas punkster Purple, a band that is described as "Andrew WK's bastard child from Karen O after a night of drunken debauchery". Sounds too good to be true? Show up early to check them out.
Also on the bill, Good Night, Gold Dust, a Minnesota band that has escaped my Going for Gold series apparently.

JON SPENCER BLUES EXPLOSION
at Turf Club
Sunday, 06/14/15, 7:30pm ($20/18+)
Details: turfclub.net
Drawing generously from garage rock and heavy soul, New York’s Jon Spencer Blues Explosion is an unbridled blues rock fist in the face of the status quo. Guitarist Judah Baker, drummer Russell Simins and shrieker/singer/guitarist Jon Spencer have been setting hearts on fire for over two decades; their abrasive retro sound first clawed its way into the collective consciousness in 1992 with their debut Jon Spencer Blues Explosion and 1993’s Crypt Style, both collections comprised of tracks from earlier sessions with famed producers Steve Albini and Kramer. The band continued releasing one frenzied album after another (their fourth album Orange from 1994 yielded one of my favorite tunes, “Bellbottoms”) and garnered acclaim for their blistering live shows that showcased Spencer’s wild-man antics. On March 23rd, JSBX dropped a ferocious new album, Freedom Towers: No Wave Dance Party 2015 and, lucky for you and me, kitty cat, those New York rock-n-rollers are making a stop at the Turf Club on June 14th with fellow rabble-rousers Daddy Long Legs. Dang motherf*cker!

JEREMY LOOPS
at 7th Street Entry
Monday, 06/15/15, 7:30pm ($12/18+)
Details: first-avenue.com
Meet South Africa's number one selling artist Jeremy Loops. Loops debuted at #1 on iTunes in South Africa and maintained #1 on the three most prominent radio stations in Southern Africa with "Down South", his breakout single. It is pretty amazing that Loops headlined massive major music festivals, yet relatively unknown in America. Let's change that, check him out this June 15th.
Loops will likely preview some of his songs (including the hit single) from his forthcoming album Trading Change, set for release August 11th on Yebo Music.
The album is described as "Both sweet and volatile like the ketone compound namesake of Jake Webb’s formless expanding musical alter ego, these songs were recorded shortly after inception in the regional south-west over a 24 hour period in the doorless room of an old shopfront in Fremantle that he was living in at the time. Developing his ambient and textural guitar sound playing with the likes of Perth based bands Sugarpuss, Rabbit Island and Grace Woodroofe, Jake Webb established Methyl Ethel in 2013 as an outlet for his adventures in reverb soaked home recording. Built from the ground up in various bedrooms, friends’ studios and quiet caverns, the exceptional EP diptych Guts and Teeth were released in quick succession and explore themes of anxiety, disillusionment and stasis."
Two local bands Matt Jennings (by the way of Pittsburgh) and Kevin Fluegel will open the show.
