Kicking off the Sue McLean & Associates and Bauhaus Brew Labs’ Summer 2023 outdoor Sparkyard Sound Series is headliner Grace Potter on Tuesday, June 13th.
We’re big fans of Sue McLean shows, and with the previous McLean’s show at Utepils Brewery and any shows at the Minnesota Zoo, we can say that these shows are some of our favorites. In fact, we’re hoping to cover more McLean shows as the Summer rolls in.

So far, the other two Sparkyard Sound Series shows scheduled are Shakey Graves & Lucius (we love Lucius!) on July 28 and St. Paul & The Broken Bones (these guys are full of energy and amazing live) on August 17.
Please note that these outdoor shows, due to curfews and noise ordinances, takes place incredibly early. Doors at 5pm, music at 6pm, so be there early.

Pansy Division
with Bev Rage & The Drinks and Lumari
at 7th St Entry
first-avenue.com
I may have told this story before, but I used to be a volunteer radio DJ at Fresno State’s KFSR 90.7 FM. My timeslot was Thursday from 10pm to midnight, I mostly stuck to Britpop … but my friend, the late Melinda (aka Black Velveeta), would play some quirky “cheesy” stuff, everything from April March to the Sleestacks to Cranes to Mr T Experience to Wally Pleasant. She loves those weird bands.
Anyway, one day, we got a CD from Pansy Division in the early 90s and we loved it. I guess, back then, being gay wasn’t something you talk about. But Pansy Division, they were openly gay, and it really inspired so many other bands to follow in their footsteps.
Now, I’ve never seen Pansy Division live (if I had, I probably blacked out and don’t remember), but Melinda did see them with Green Day. I don’t know if I believe her, but she told me that someone had a bag of sh*** and threw it at Billie Joe… because their album was called Dookie.
Anyway, the band is celebrating the 30th anniversary of their debut album Undressed (Lookout! Records) with a special 2023 shows. If you’ve never seen the band live, here is your chance!
Pansy Division will play the 7th Street Entry on June 15th with support from Bev Rage & The Drinks and Lumari.

Billie Marten
with Olivia Kaplan
at 7th St Entry
first-avenue.com
Yorkshire’s Billie Marten is touring in support of her new album Drop Cherries (IMPERIAL Music).
The album was recorded entirely on tape in Somerset and Wales late last summer, and it marks the very first time that Billie Marten has both written and co-produced (with Dom Monks) one of her records.
The title is taken from a tale she heard from a friend just before she was starting to create songs for the album, and the title track came soon after. It’s a metaphor where the gift of cherries stands for offering someone your love; doing anything you can to make them happy. “Dropping cherries,” she begins, “is such a strong, visceral image that I tried to channel throughout recording in Somerset and Wales, to capture the vibrancy, unpredictability, and occasional chaos one experiences within a relationship. Imagine stamping blood-red cherries onto a clean, cream carpet and tell me that’s not how love feels.”
The singer/songwriter will stop by the 7th Street Entry on June 16th.
Olivia Kaplan to open.
