Local Natives
with Jordana
at First Avenue
first-avenue.com

It’s been over twenty years since we saw Local Natives, in fact, we saw them open for Suckers in May 2010. Funny how things turned out for Suckers and the 400 Bar… but Local Natives are still going strong in 2022.

Opening for LN will be Jordana… who we just saw last month at the 7th Street Entry. Yes, it’s only a month ago that Jordana was in Minneapolis for the first time… let’s see how she deals with being back in the city a second time. Except to see her “favorite aunt” on tour with her.

Expect her to play tracks from her TV Girl collaboration EP Summer’s Over, as well as tracks from her latest album Face The Wall (Grand Jury).

Jilian Medford, aka Ian Sweet (no relations to Matthew Sweet), is returning to the 7th Street Entry this August 6th, with support from Chicago quartet Bnny.

Ian Sweet’s 2021 album is called Show Me How You Disappear. The album was praised far and wide, with Pitchfork writing that it’s “bigger, brighter, cleaner, [and] more ambitious than anything she’s done...The album scales heights and punches the air upon reaching them, and the best songs swell in your chest like prime-era Broken Social Scene.”

with Belaganas
at Fine Line

Hoodie Allen is currently on his With or Without You 2022 summer tour. The tour mark the 10-year anniversary of his first commercially released album All American. We caught the rapper during the tour for that album in Sept 2013 and wrote, “NYC indie rapper Hoodie Allen got the festivities started with an energetic 40 min. set, playing to a crowd that was clearly his fanbase. Starting with ‘Fame’, a recent collaboration with Chiddy Bang, the 25 year-old rapper got everyone moving immediately concentrating mostly on tracks from his most recent self-released full-length, All American, mashing up songs and keeping the set momentum moving (even U mascot Goldy Gopher jumped on stage to join in).”

Although not officially on the venue’s website, we are told that Phoenix’s Belaganas will open the show. The trio (vocalist Shanker, vocalist Joey J, and guitarist/drummer Nick Wille) formed in 2018 when they were teenagers.

Chicago’s Deeper is returning to the area, this time headlining the 7th Street Entry on August 1st.

We saw Deeper in Sep 2019 and said, “The band is usually a trio (Shiraz Bhatti, Nic Gohl, and Drew McBride), but for their live set, they’re accompanied by an additional guitarist. The most interesting thing is that the band, besides from the fact that the lead singer sounds like Robert Smith (of The Cure), is that the band loves Minneapolis’ John Maus.”

Opening will be Louisville’s trio, Wombo, touring in support of their album, Fairy Rust, via Fire Talk Records.

Florist is touring in support of their self-titled album from Double Double Whammy. We saw the band on their first appearance in Minneapolis, in June 2016 and wrote, “The story of Florist was that it was a project that Emily Sprague started with her two friends (Rick Spataro, and Jonnie Baker) in Upstate, New York. Eventually, Sprague moved to New York City, but still kept writing music and using the moniker ‘Florist’. By 2014, after a result of a severe bicycle accident that broke her arm and neck... she began writing songs about recovery, isolation, physical, emotional, pain, nature, death, etc., many of which eventually made it onto her The Birds Outside Sang album.”

RENE MARIE
renemarie.com

American songwriter and jazz vocalist René Marie recently released Sound of Red via Motéma Records.

Tastemaker Jazz station WBGO recently premiered the album writing, “In the years of this millennium, some extraordinary singers have come along. We can hear in them Ella or Sarah or Nat or Billie, and some of them we already know by one name. Cat. Cyrille. Gregory. Cecile. Sound of Red is a new album from ... René."

The 11-track is said to be mostly autobiographical to René, who explained, “I wanted to make a record that people could go back to again and again to excavate their emotions. We cover things over every day. We have to in order to move through the day and move through our lives. We can’t always afford to be vulnerable to things like pain, loss, confusion, hurt and frustration. I want this record to provide some kind of architecture to provide support in those moments when our emotions are not necessarily happy ones.”
