 Soul Asylum at Minnesota Yacht Club (20 July 2024)

We saw Soul Asylum in
July 2024 and said, “I was surprised to see Soul Asylum so early on the bill. To me, and based on unscientific analytics from setlist.fm, the band should be ranked much higher. Singer and only original band member Dave Pirner is a goofball (as usual!), and was just having a good time. “Hello fellow yachters. I know I took my yacht to the gig.” When Dave asked guitarist Ryan Smith what his yacht was called, he said, it’s called “Hall and Notes”.”

DeVotchKa
Yes, as with everything else I write about here, I latched onto DeVotchKa a bit late. Heck, I even saw Little Miss Sunshine way too late, barely catching it on DVD a month before the Oscars. So when I heard them on the soundtrack . ...

DeVotchKa at First Avenue (07 Oct 2018)

We saw DeVotchKa in
Oct 2018 and said, “The multi-genre ensemble DeVotchKa return today with the release of their new full-length album This Night Falls Forever, available now on Concord Records. As part of the release, the band has shared a video for the nostalgic first single "Straight Shot". Watch the video here. The album also includes the "high-octane" (Gary Graff, Billboard) track "Angels" as well as "Empty Vessels" which premiered earlier this week on Consequence of Sound, who described the song as "sturdy even as it tumbles through endless spirals of orchestration like a dream through the early breaking daylight."”

Kiss Me ⏤ A 90s New Year's Eve
with You Oughta Know
at 7th St Entry

It’s the annual year-end’s
Kiss Me - A '90s New Year's Eve show from cover lover band
You Oughta Know (named after the Alanis Morissette song).
You Oughta Know at Wizard World Minneapolis (05 May 2017)
|
We saw the group in
May 2017 and wrote, “As you can see from their setlist, they only cover 90s songs, with the exception of Queen’s ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’, but that’s forgivable because they probably discover the song from 1992’s Wayne’s World (based on Silberschmidt as Garth, of course).
A cover lover band is good for these kind of events, because most of the audience will know and likely sing along to some of their favorite 90s tunes.
After You Oughta Know finished their set, there were DJ Gabe and 7Days A Capella group, ending with a highly entertaining swing dance group Uptown Swing and Hudson, Master Magician (from America’s Got Talent).”
If your band is coming to the Minneapolis/St Paul area, please email details to
