The co-headlining tour of Tank and the Bangas and Big Freedia show is taking place at First Avenue on October 28th.
We saw Tank and the Bangas in Sep 2017 and said that they were the highlight at the Minnesota State Fair.
As for Big Freedia, she is one of the most famous Bounce music pioneer, as well as a reality TV star. We saw her in Nov 2015 and said, “Big Freedia left me speechless the last time I saw her at P.O.S's The F***ng Best Show Ever festival over the summer. She did it again... only last Wednesday at the Varsity Theater in Minneapolis, I was a bit more prepared for what was going to happen... or at least I thought I was. That's when I realized... you are never ready for a Big Freedia show and that's part of the charm.”
Naughty Professor to open.

Turf Club

turfclub.net
Athens’ Mothers (aka Kristine Leschper) is headlining the Turf Club on Saturday, October 27th, in support of her latest Render Another Ugly Method.
Show up early to check out local Sleeping Jesus and Mega Bog (aka Erin Birgy). We’ve seen Mega Bog a few times, the last with Destroyer in January 2018 and said, “The band played a lot of new songs from their album Happy Together (Nicey Music), which, when played live, sounds a bit like an offbeat jazz album. Vocally, I have described Erin Birgy’s singing voice as a bit like Kate Bush, or now, perhaps Nico.”

900 ft tall Dutch pianist Joep Beving (just kidding he’s only nearly 7 feet tall), is bringing his music to the Cedar Cultural Center on October 29th on a tiny North American tour. Beving’s forthcoming album Conatus is available October 23rd via Deutsche Grammophon ... but I’m assuming you can preview the new record (or perhaps pick up the album before it’s made available to the public).
Local Iceblink to open.
