HEY ROSETTA!
at Triple Rock Social Club
Saturday, 11/14/2015, 7pm ($12)
triplerocksocialclub.com
On Saturday November 14th two fine Canadian bands from opposite ends of the country will perform at the Triple Rock Social Club in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The headliner, Hey Rosetta!, is from St. John’s, Newfoundland, while Yukon Blonde, the opener, is based in Vancouver, British Columbia. The two previously toured together in 2012. Fittingly, given their vast geographical separation, they are a bit of a yin-yang pairing, but both can be riveting.
Hey Rosetta! is the dark side of the pairing. Their music is at times subdued, and at times anthemic, but always dramatic and moving, often with a sense of sadness. They feature classical instruments (piano, violin, and cello) in addition to more traditional rock instruments. They have released four albums, the first in 2006, and the most recent, Second Sight, in 2014. The latest tour is in celebration of the band's 10 year anniversary.
In contrast, Yukon Blonde resides in the light. Their first album, a 2010 self-titled release was pure pop joy, with some amazing hooks and great harmonies. Their most recent album, “On Blonde” released this year, changes things up a bit but still preserves their energy and brightness. With layers of synths on top of their guitar-driven songs, it is more likely to get the audience up and dancing than their previous efforts.

GOGOL BORDELLO
at First Avenue
Saturday, 11/14/2015, 8pm ($30)
first-avenue.com
Start wearing purple, wearing purple!
Gogol Bordello is back celebrating the 10th Anniversary of Underdog World Strike with a double-night at First Avenue. They are playing the entire album from start to finish, plus throwing in some classic hits for this special show. Also, typically when they double book the venue, it is because they anticipate the shows to sell out. Expect the venue to be sold out or at least 90% packed with fellow gypsy punks.
Jessica Hernandez & The Deltas to open. Hernandez was previously in town as part of the special Red Bull Sound Select, which was at an unbeatable price of $3 with RSVP.

VARIOUS ARTISTS
at Various Venues
Saturday, 11/14/2015
news.weheartmusic.com
It's a typical Saturday night with too many shows in the Minneapolis and St Paul area.
I've spotlighted some of the upcoming shows below:
Illinois pop punk and GRAMMY-nominated, multi-platinum Plain White T's was recently in town in June 2015, supporting Rob Thomas, but will be headlining their own show at Mill City Nights.
Matt McAndrew and Beta Play to open ($20/8pm).
You know me, I love Stray Cats and frontman Brian Setzer is responsible for not only bringing back rockabilly, but also swing music with his Brian Setzer Orchestra band. They'll be in town as part of their annual Christmas Tour tradition at Orpheum Theatre. ($53/8pm).
PS The band recently put together a PledgeMusic campaign to produce a limited edition Rockin' Rudolph box sets. Unfortunately only the T-Shirts and the regular box set is available for purchase, see all the details at pledgemusic.com.
Inventive DJ/producer duo The Chainsmokers recently launched their fan-sourced, #TiltTour.... going to cities where they are in demand (with the first 6 cities to pre-sell at least 800 tickets). Count Minneapolis as one of the demanded cities, as they stop in at the Skyway Theatre. Matoma, Shaun Frank and Louis The Child to open. ($20/7pm).
San Diego, by the way of Hawaii, band Pepper (not to be confused with Sandra "Pepa" Denton or London singer Pepper) will play the Fine Line Music Café with their two amigos Ballyhoo! and Katastro. ($23.50/7pm)
Elephant Revival is returning to the Twin Cities at Turf Club in Saint Paul.
LOTT (aka Minneapolis musician, Leah Ottman of We Are The Willows) to open.
($17/8pm/Sold Out).
Two-time "Best Female Hip Hop Artist" MTV VMA nominee Angel Haze will be stopping by The Nether Bar inside Mill City Nights ($15/8pm).
