New York’s brother/sister act Lawrence (not to be confused with Lawrence, Kansas), got an upgrade in venue from the smaller Amsterdam Bar & Hall in St Paul, to the big mainroom of First Avenue this April 8th.

The sibling’s new single “Don’t Lost Sight” is currently featured in the Microsoft Global Ad running for the next six months.

We first talked about the band in July 2016 and said, “Don’t let the young ages (22 and 19) fool you, at 6, Clyde was youngest person to be admitted to the Songwriters' Guild of America for his film composition on Miss Congeniality (2000), and Gracie has performed on Broadway in Neil Simon’s Brighton Beach Memoirs and The Sitter (2011), etc.”

Low Cut Connie

Low Cut Connie (Adam Weiner, James Everhart, Will Donnelly, Larry Scotton, and Lucas Rinz) will be in town in support of their latest Dirty Pictures (Part 1) via Contender Records. …

Kiss the Tiger

Star Tribune’s Are You Local? 2017 Finalist Showcase is this Monday. The contest includes several local bands: Ayvah, Graveyard Club, Kiss the Tiger, Lazy Scorsese, and Nick Jordan. ....

It won’t re-occur for another four hundred years--

The date of 2-22-22, is a five-digit numerical succession palindrome (on a Tuesday no less) that won’t happen again until the 23^rd century, so it must have been some kind of magical convergence that brought Low Cut Connie to Kansas for their first show in the state, playing the Bottleneck in Lawrence.

The evening began with a thirty-five-minute set from Kansas City-based The Black Mariah Theater, a duo comprised of twin sisters Analiese and Sophia Motta, who describes their sound as “sparkly witch-rock”, in support of last year’s Patron Saint release. The pair also released a four-song Acoustic Covers EP last year, which included their version of an early Low Cut Connie song, which also may explain their connection to being on the bill.

In addition to songs from their records, the sisters also worked in a new number, “Mean to Be Mean” and a cover of a 1940’s blues classic, “Come Rain or Come Shine”, before ending their set with the very-witchy “Spare Me Your Curse”.

Next up was a Twin Cities favorite, Minneapolis band Kiss the Tiger, who had their third studio release, Vicious Kid, come out last June and is on their first brief tour outside of the Upper Midwest. The band began in late 2016 and has been gradually gaining more attention ever since, named a “Picked to Click” band by former alt-weekly City Pages in 2019.

The group’s sound evokes late ‘70s/early ‘80s AM radio rock with a modern edge, musically sounding like vintage Stones/Heartbreakers (expertly by guitarist Alex Sandberg) with lead vocalist Meghan Kreidler taking her magnetic stage presence and vocal stylings from the likes of Patti Smith, early Linda Ronstadt, and on the trippy “Out of My Mind”, an Airplane-era Grace Slick.

Their first three songs hit the audience in rapid sequence, with Kriedler then joking “we brought the cold in today” from their hometown, as the previous day’s local weather was sixty degrees warmer. The set-closing “Elliot Park” (named after the downtown Mpls. neighborhood) allowed the rest of the band to stretch out with short solos and extended jamming.

Not to name-drop, but Elton John and Bruce Springsteen are fans. So is Barack Obama, who added them to his official playlist and extended a White House invitation. So, it’s only expected that on their first trip to play in Kansas, Philadelphia’s Low Cut Connie would convert numerous to their brand of bar boogie rock n’ roll.

They’ve been on our own radar since 2016, and we’ve been lucky enough to see them several times most recently bringing the house down at First Avenue in 2018. The newest album is the spanning Private Lives (on the band’s own Contender Records), a double album of seventeen songs that lyrically delves deeper into profiles of people bandleader Adam Weiner knows or has known, warts and all.

Inclusively blending gospel, soul, country, and blues into their own uplifting style, their ninety-minute headlining performance took the audience on a stomping musical journey like no other, with Weiner and current band (Will Donnell-guitar; Linwood Regensburg- bass; Attis Clopton- drums; Jarae Lewis- percussion; and Little Queens- Abigail Dempsey- guitar, tambourine, violin and Rocky Blue Jean Queen- backup vocals) firing from all cylinders almost immediately. Breakout single, “Boozophilia” was played early in the set, smoothly segueing into the T-Rex-esque groove of “Dirty Water”.

“Charyse”, about a woman’s rough times in a big city, was one of those recent character sketch songs framed in a Springsteen-style arrangement, then Weiner seemed to surprise even himself by picking up a guitar for the bluesy “If I Die”, not having played one live for several years. “I feel so vulnerable” he joked following.

Dempsey proved her musical dexterity on “Now You Know” playing violin as Weiner was channeling Jerry Lee Lewis / Little Richard with his keyboard fingers and gymnastic posing skills, and the profane “The F**kin…” moved into (what else, but) a Prince cover, before reprising back to end the song. “I love you, Kansas!” Weiner exclaimed, following the musical workout.

Weiner intro’d the band at the set’s midpoint, before sending them off-stage, “I need some alone time” he remarked before a short solo mini set on piano. “Dreams Don’t Come True” (from the somewhat unknown Call Me Sylvia album) was dedicated to the evening’s openers as they had covered the song themselves, and a Toots and the Maytals classic became a tribute for all musicians lost during this Covid period.

The band soon returned for the back half of the set, as the energy level again rose with one of their most melodic tracks, “Beverly”, a rousing Alex Chilton song that is a staple of their live sets, and even pulled out a 1979 Misfits cover of “Where Eagles Dare”, one of over 650 songs Weiner played on Tough Cookies, he and Donnelly’s bi-weekly livestream series.

No false leaving the stage and coming back for an encore, the momentum continued straight through, and the set would end with the title track from Private Lives, and Weiner singing, “We’ve got love to give, that’s the way we live”, which perfectly summed up the band and the exhilarating musical experience.

“Believe in the dream or not” Weiner sings on “Beverly” and in terms of the live power of Low Cut Connie, the audience that took the effort to step out on a single-degree weeknight amidst an ongoing city mask mandate, were either already converted or became new members to this church of rock n’ roll. A memorable harmonic convergence for the ages.

She started off with a solo song ‘Easy on the Thieves’, then as a trio, then back to solo with ‘All Written out in Numbers’. Stables often tuned between songs, making for awkward unfinished stories and comments. She played acoustic guitar, but it seemed like she’s most comfortable when she’s plucking on her banjo.”

I can’t tell you if I’ve seen the first Everything is Terrible! movie, I’ve either seen a knock off or another Everything is Terrible! film, but I can tell you that they’re a collection of weird found VHS footage. These are the kind of thing that is probably best lost and forgotten by the ravage of time… but for the guys behind Everything is Terrible!, they need to preserve this.

For this upcoming tour, they’re calling it “The Great Satan”, which will showcase some of their 2,000 satanic panic, religious kook, and D-horror VHS tapes…. In an all-new live puppets and costumes.

And if you’ve got an old Jerry Maguire VHS tape, please consider donating it to Everything is Terrible! (they’ve got over 15,000 copies in their collection).

Guitarist-vocalist Terra Lightfoot is ending her North American show at the 7th Street Entry in Minneapolis this Tuesday (she’ll be continuing the rest of her tour in her native Canada). Lightfoot is a powerhouse performer, impressing CBC Music, who wrote, “If you haven't seen Terra Lightfoot perform live, then do yerself a favour and get a ticket next time she's in town. Lightfoot is the total package: she can write a hooky tune, rip through a blistering guitar solo and sing the hell out of any song she likes.”

Please note that the female-fronted, five-piece Kiss the Tiger will be performing last on this show.

US Tour dates:

Feb 15 Kansas City, MO @ Folk Alliance International
Feb 16 & 17 Davenport, IA @ GAS Feed & Seed Festival
Feb 19 Madison, WI @ The Frequency
Feb 20 Minneapolis, MN @ 7th St Entry

Ministry

An album being criminally underrated and overlooked not so much by the professional critics but mostly by Ministry's very own fan base it has got to be this absolutely stunning masterpiece called "Filth Pig". ..…

MINISTRY
at Skyway Theatre
Saturday, 07/16/16, 12pm ($40/$50)
skywaytheatre.com

Chicago’s Ministry will be headlining the Skyway Theatre this Saturday. For many years, original singer (and currently only the original band member) Al Jourgensen said that a band reunion would never happen... but the band did re-unite for the Wacken Open Air festival in August 2012. After a year of touring for their new album Relapse in 2012, long time guitarist Mike Scaccia passed away. Cesar Soto (former member of Pissing Razors) is their current guitarist.

If you grew up in the 90s, when industrial metal genre was starting out, you would have loved Ministry, alongside Nine Inch Nails, KMFDM, and many other bands in this genre.

The upcoming Skyway Theatre is described as the First Annual Minneapolis Toxic Air Festival and the event starts at noon! It’s more bang for the buck, but I’ve never heard of a fan enduring 12 hours of music mayhem! Most fans will likely arrive around 8pm, in time to catch Otep, Mushroomhead, and headliner Ministry.

Ministry’s tour dates:

07/15/16 Chicago Open Air
07/16/16 Minneapolis, MN Skyway Theatre
07/17/16 Cleveland, OH Agora Ballroom
07/28/16 Madrid, Spain Arena Club
