Big Thief headlined First Avenue’s mainroom on Monday, October 21st.
Boston-based Palehound (aka Ellen Kempner) opened the show. Kempner describes their music as “journal rock”, which is “…it’s kind of like journal-rock, just all of my biggest fears splurted onto some vinyl, no different from writing a diary, really.”
Kempner mentioned that her favorite place in the Twin Cities is Moon Palace Books. The book store occasionally hosts music events, which we saw in October 2018.
Most of the songs are about things that happened to them and their thoughts on the world. Their latest album is called Black Friday.
Adrianne Lenker and her full band Big Thief (with guitarist Buck Meek, bassist Max Oleartchik, and drummer James Krivchenia) closed out the night.
When Big Thief is on a break, Lenker is busy with her solo work. In January 2019 she released abysskiss on Saddle Creek Records.
Now with Big Thief, the group released Two Hands 4AD and touring in support of the new record. This is the group’s biggest tour yet, and what a start - by appearing on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Most of their shows are sold out, with others on the way of selling out.
Remaining tour dates:
