with KPT
at 7th Street Entry
Thursday, 03/10/16, 8pm ($15)
first-avenue.com
British electronic noisemaker Blanck Mass (aka Benjamin John Power of F**k Buttons) will be in town on Thursday, March 10th; touring in support of Dumb Flesh, which came out May 2015. I like the name, it’s like Black and Blank together... and certainly a media-friendly band name. Let’s face it, publications are not going to print offensive names like F Button.
Opening will be Minneapolis’ KPT (pronounced “kept” not “kaput”).
Tour dates:
03/07/16 Brooklyn, NY Baby's All Right
03/08/16 Washington, DC DC9
03/10/16 Minneapolis, MN 7th Street Entry
03/11/16 Levitation
03/13/16 Festival Nrmal
03/17/16 SXSW
03/18/16 San Francisco, CA Rickshaw Stop

with The Suffers
at First Avenue
Thursday, 03/10/16, 7pm ($25/Sold Out)

Boston’s Lake Street Dive (named after Minneapolis’ dive bars!) sold out their appearance in trumpeter/guitarist McDuck Olson’s hometown at First Avenue in Minneapolis.
Lake Street Dive’s Nonesuch Records debut album, Side Pony, is out now.
Opening will be The Suffers, who we previously caught in June 2015, and noted, “Singer Kam Franklin is parts Tina Turner/Britney Howard/Chaka Khan/Aretha Franklin, with a gospel power to vocally reach down and deliver their meld of rock, jazz, soul, Caribbean and Latin influences.”
Thankfully, the First Avenue mainstage will be plenty of room for the 10-piece ensemble (unlike their 7th Street Entry appearance).

with Deep Sea Diver
at 7th St Entry
Friday, 03/11/16, 7pm ($10/$12)
first-avenue.com
Radiation City (or as we like to call them “Rad City”) is back in town this Friday, March 11th, in support of their Polyvinyl album Synesthetica. We previously caught the dreampop band in 2013 and wrote, “Highlight of their set is a cover of the Beatles' "Happiness is a Warm Gun". I didn't recognize it until the obvious title was sung, so they really made the song their own.”
Seattle’s Deep Sea Diver to open... we previously mentioned that they had a Holiday EP called It's Christmas Time.

at Icehouse
Friday, 03/11/16, 10:30pm ($16)
icehousempls.com
Keep It Together is the new LP from Lily & Madeleine, via New West Records. The harmonizing sister-duo will be at the Icehouse in Minneapolis to support the album. Since the restaurant has a standard business hours, the actual show won’t start until 11pm (with doors opening at 10:30pm), so it’s a rather late show. Since most people aren’t working on Saturday, it won’t be an issue, hopefully.
Tour Dates:
03/11—Minneapolis, MN—Icehouse
03/12—Chicago, IL—Lincoln Hall
03/13—St. Louis, MO—Off Broadway
03/24—Louisville—The New Vintage
03/25—Nashville, TN—The High Watt
03/26—Atlanta, GA—Eddie’s Attic
05/10—Los Angeles, CA—The Troubadour
05/11—San Francisco, CA—Swedish American
05/13—Portland, OR—Doug Fir Lounge
05/14—Seattle, WA—Ballard Homestead
05/15—Spokane, WA—The Bartlett
05/18—Denver, CO—Lost Lake Lounge
