The Great Midwest Rib Fest
at Mystic Lake
mysticlake.com
The Great Midwest Rib Fest is returning to Mystic Lake for its 10th Anniversary, kicking off Thursday, July 25, and ending on Saturday, July 27. The event is free to the public.
Lineup:
Since most of you work on the weekdays, I suggest Saturday’s show, featuring Grammy® nominated, platinum-selling artist Five for Fighting (aka John Ondrasik). The full band features drummer Randy Cooke (Mick Jagger, Ringo Starr, Dave Stewart), bassist Sean Hurley (John Mayer, Ringo Starr, Alanis Morissette), and guitarist Peter Thorn (Chris Cornell, Melissa Etheridge, Don Henley).
Also worth checking out is Letters to Cleo. You might remember their massive 90s hit “Here and Now”. Fun fact, Letters to Cleo’s singer Kay Hanley actually dubbed Rachael Leigh Cook’s singing vocals for the film Josie and the Pussycats.
Five for Fighting tour dates:
July 11 Hot Summer Nights Concert Series
July 27 @ Mystic Lake Casino
August 6 @ Ardmore Music Hall
August 8 @ Electric City in Buffalo, NY

MonoNeon
at Fine Line
first-avenue.com
GRAMMY Award-Winning bassist and experimental musician MonoNeon is touring in support of his album Quilted Stereo (Court Square Recordings).
The new single, “Segreghetto” was recently released, and MonoNeon explains, “The term ‘Segreghetto’ encapsulates the intersection.. them crossroads of segregation and ghettoization… perseverance in this human experience. ‘Segreghetto’ is a thang where it’s a testament to the enduring spirit of yourself in your community and culture. Like offering a voice to those that are overlooked or misunderstood… carving out your own path even in the midst of systemic inequalities. When me and my friend Davy were writing the song ‘Segreghetto,’ I felt like this junt could be inspiration to anyone willing to defy the odds and chase their dreams, wanting that gold medal.. no matter the obstacles that lie in their path and journey.”
The tour kicks off at the Fine Line, in Minneapolis, on July 27, 2024.
Tour Dates:
July 27 - Minneapolis, MN - Fine Line
July 28 - Chicago, IL - Outset

Lambrini Girls
with Surly Grrly and Spit Takes
at Turf Club
first-avenue.com
Catch Brighton’s Lambrini Girls (Phoebe Lunny and Lilly Macieira) as headliner at the Turf Club, in St Paul, before going on tour with Amyl and the Sniffers (literally the next day).
Surly Grrly to open… we saw them in June 2023 and said, “Opening the show was Surly Grrly (a band led by Medbh McNamara & Eloïse Boigenzahn), who wasn’t originally on the bill. We previously liked them with the Aquadolls in May 2023, describing them as “very Bikini Kill”. They’ve changed up their setlist a bit (as well as hiring a new bassist Lou Levy) since we last saw them, starting with “I Had Sex with a Girl”, a song that they’ve previously mentioned that most guys who come up to them said they’ve had the very same experience. ”
Spit Take is the third band on the bill. We saw Spit Take in Apr 2024 and wrote, “Also on the bill was Spit Takes, a new riot-girl-ish, lead by singer VansAnn. I got a sense that they were inspired by Bikini Kill, but according to the group, they align themselves with British punk rock X-Ray Spex (who Kathleen Hanna admitted to being a fan of too).”

DIIV
with Horse Jumper of Love and Full Body 2
at First Avenue
first-avenue.com
DIIV is touring in support of their new album Frog in Boiling Water. Their headlining show at First Avenue this July 28, 2024, is going to be their biggest venue yet.
We’ve been writing about this band since 2012, when they were originally called Dive: “Next up were Brooklyn-based indie charmers, DIIV (pronounced “dive”). The name might not ring a bell as they’ve just recently changed it (like, today) from DIVE in order to not be confused with the Belgian industrial band with the same name. Zachary Cole Smith and co. arrived on stage sporting the latest in street urchin fashion. Despite the questionable attire, they proved almost immediately why they’ve been receiving quite a bit of media buzz despite only having released a pair of 7” singles. They played a tight, energetic set made up of songs from their single releases and a few unreleased tracks from their upcoming debut album, Oshin, to be released on Captured Tracks on June 26th. They also threw in a cover of a Kurt Cobain demo “Bambi Slaughter” for good measure. DIIV are a shoegazey, dream-pop outfit that deliver live, as well as, on record -- I definitely recommend checking out their upcoming debut or getting in on one their live shows!”
