Update: Remember that
The Beths show on
Feb 22? Well, no thanks to that blizzard of a century that passed through Minneapolis, the Australian band had to postponed the show until March 20, 2023… at the end of their American tour. We are still covering this upcoming show… hopefully no more snow on this date.

We saw The Beths in
Mar 2022 and wrote, “As for The Beths (singer and guitarist Liz Stokes, lead guitarist Jonathan Pearce, bassist Benjamin Sinclair, and drummer Tristan Deck) … it’s been a while since we last saw the band at Rock the Garden in 2019. We wrote, “Chicago Tribune called The Beths, one of the “best up-and-coming bands”, so we were really eager to catch this young New Zealand trio (Elizabeth Stokes, Jonathan Pearce and Benjamin Sinclair) on tour. This is also partly because they are one of those few bands that we haven’t covered and was excited to see their first time in the area. According to guitarist/vocalist Jonathan Pearce, the band have been on a co-headlining tour with Bad Bad Hats since February 2019, so they were pretty happy to share the stage once again with the local band. The band basically played their debut Future Me Hates Me, available now from Carpark Records.”

Masego is currently on his “You Never Visit Me Tour”. Masego’s self-titled album is available now on EQT Recordings/Capitol Records.
“I'm very thankful of the journey. This went from a hobby to a job,” says Masego. “I was getting all the things that they say that you're supposed to be fulfilled by and I wasn't fulfilled by it. I had to do a re-evaluation of a lot of things. I said, ‘I can't make this what I imagined it to be. So I cannot remain here. I need to move.’”

Irish band
Inhaler will be headlining First Avenue on March 25, in support of their second album
Cuts & Bruises (Geffen Records).
“If You’re Gonna Break My Heart” is the new single from
Cuts & Bruises, which the band described, “Whilst on tour in America last year we were listening to a lot of music by some of the great American writers such as Bob Dylan, The Band, Bruce Springsteen etc. Listening to these artists while travelling on big open highways resonated with us and helped shape this song into making us sound more like a live band than we had before.”
Cuts & Bruises is the follow-up to Inhaler’s debut album
It Won’t Always Be Like This which debuted at no.1 in both the UK & Irish Official Charts. Released in July 2021,
It Won’t Always Be Like This became the fastest-selling debut album on vinyl by any band this century and saw Inhaler become the first Irish group to top the Album Charts with a debut in 13 years.
Southern California’s

The Scarlet Goodbye
with Willie Wisely
at Icehouse
icehousempls.com
Minneapolis’
The Scarlet Goodbye has an album release party for
Hope's Eternal (InGrooves/Universal Records) at the Icehouse in Minneapolis.
The band features Daniel Murphy (from
Soul Asylum) and Jeff Arundel. The two met randomly at a café, after Murphy already quit music and sold all his gears. Murphy regrets his decision, as after meeting Arundel, when they decided to form a new band, the Scarlet Goodbye.
“In 2012 I sold all the guitars and amps” said Murphy, “Now I’m busy buying them all back!”
Arundel adds, “Dan and I have been playing and writing for the same decades, we just never ran into each other. And obviously, we were walking different ends of the musical street… but we met, and I became intrigued when he told me that after being out of it for 10 years, maybe he missed it. So I invited him to the studio, and it was pretty instantly magical—a mutual collision of suggesting things to each other that the other wouldn’t have normally done”.
The Jayhawks (21 Dec 2018)
|
We saw Murphy randomly appearing at
The Jayhawks show in
Dec 2018 and wrote, “… the highlight had to be with Johnson and longtime Soul Asylum guitarist Dan Murphy (looking thinner but very happy) forming “semi-Smog” an almost lineup of alt supergroup
Golden Smog (sans Jeff Tweedy) for a version of 1998’s ‘Until You Came Along’.”
