BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE
The British Invasion Tour
at Myth Live
Wednesday, 02/17/16, 7pm ($30)
mythlive.com
The British Invasion tour will be stopping at The Myth in Maplewood on Wednesday, February 17th. Now, don't think this will be anything like the "British Invasion" of the Beatles... think more yelling and screaming. This tour features Bullet For My Valentine, Asking Alexandria, and While She Sleeps. Both Bullet For My Valentine and Asking Alexandria have gone through lineup changes in the past year so it will be interesting to see how the new members fit in these long-lasting bands. This would be the perfect Valentine's gift for that metal head in your life. I have seen all of these bands previously and they all have great energy in their live shows.

COMMUNION (February)
ft. Allan Rayman, Lolo, etc...
at 7th Street Entry
Thursday, 02/18/16, 7pm ($8/$13)
first-avenue.com
The monthly Communion Shows is returning next Thursday at their new home at the 7th Street Entry. We’ve been covering the monthly club shows since it came to Minneapolis in 2013 at the Varsity Theater. Starting in November 2014, the club moved to the Turf Club in St Paul.
Now for a fresh start in 2016, Communion is now at the 7th Street Entry... which, personally speaking, will be a great home for them. The small venue is known for launching so many up and coming artists... simply perfect for Communion artists.
For the month of February, we’re treated to these artists: Allan Rayman, Lolo, Whiskey Shivers, and Moonrise Nation... with DJ sets from Sean McPherson (from 89.3 The Current).
We’re mostly excited to see Lolo again, having caught her at the Wilderness Politics Tour in 2015. We described her voice as “It's so powerful that she doesn't need a huge backing band to give her an edge. It was just her, a computer, and a guitarist named Josh (who she confessed she couldn't tour without his help) and it was perfect.”

PARQUET COURTS
with Love of Everything
at Triple Rock Social Club
Thursday, 02/18/16, 7pm ($15/$17)
triplerocksocialclub.com
Parquet Courts recently announced their new record Human Performance, set for release on April 8th via Rough Trade. Expect the band to preview some new songs from the upcoming album on this new 2016 tour.
We caught the band in 2013, at the height of their buzz, and noted, “The audience was squeezed together to get close to this old school punk band. So awesome! Lead singer and guitarist, Andrew Savage, commented on the storm they just drove through to get to the Triple Rock, and was afraid that he had been blown into Oz after entering Minneapolis, so surreal it was to the band.”
Love of Everything and Gem Jones to open.

GO 96.3 NEW MUSIC SHOWCASE
ft. Family of the Year, New Beat Fund, etc.
at Skyway Theatre
Thursday, 02/18/16, 7pm ($9.63/$10)
skywaytheater.com
Unfortunately, we’re not covering this event, but it was recently brought to my attention that Transviolet will be stopping by the Skyway Theatre, as part of Go 96.3 New Music Showcase, in Minneapolis next Thursday.
We caught the band on their first national tour in 2015, and knew right away that this band was going to be massive, “Based on their bright sound and love for performing live music, this band will be on the road to bigger, better things.”
The 2015 show also produced one of our favorite photograph of singer Sarah McTaggart.
Currently, their new video and single for “New Bohemia,” is climbing quickly at Alternative radio, can be heard in the national advertising campaign for Google Android, which will run through summer 2016.
Other artists on the Go 96.3 New Music Showcase is Family of the Year, New Beat Fund and Ben Hazlewood.
