Yellowcard is back! They’re playing an all-ages show at the Armory, in Minneapolis, on July 15th. The band reunited in 2022 to celebrate the 20th anniversary of their iconic breakthrough album Ocean Avenue at Riot Fest in Chicago (six years since the band called it quits in 2016)… and since then, the group signed to Equal Vision Records and produced a new EP Childhood Eyes, set for release on July 7. This is the first new music since 2016.

Speaking of 2016, we wrote about the farewell tour: “This will be the last time you will ever see Yellowcard (Ryan Key, Sean Mackin, Ryan Mendez, and Josh Portman). The band is on their farewell tour, in support of their latest self-titled album via Hopeless Records. If you have loved the band in the past, go show your support on this final show... and dress up because it’s Halloween!”

For the first time in almost four years, Boston indie rockers Air Traffic Controller , announced a short summer tour of the Midwest and will celebrate their latest self-released album, Dash.

“We took our time making Dash — no shows, just writing and recording. That was our choice,” explains singer, songwriter and ATC leader Dave Munro. “Then the world stopped: no touring, no nothing, not a choice! We finished just as things were getting back to ‘normal,’ and now that Dash has been out there for months, our fans have had some time to absorb it. This is good!”

We previously caught the husband & wife duo Shovels & Ropes in Denver in April 2013 and wrote, “Although well-equipped with two microphones, the pair elects to affectionately sing many of their songs into the same mic. Approaching close to 200 shows each year, Shovels & Rope churns out their raspy and raw harmonies like a well-oiled rockabilly machine.”

The loving couple will be headlining First Avenue this October 5th, in support of their new album Little Seeds (set for release October 7th).

Matthew Logan Vasquez (of Delta Spirit) to open the show. We previously caught Vasquez in April 2016 and noted, “Matthew has a very distinctive voice but his music does not have a distinctive style and that made me falling head over heels for this guy. His voice was smooth and had a lot of emotion behind it but at the same time, it felt like good, old fashioned rock n roll.”

YOHUNA
at 7th Street Entry
Wednesday, 10/05/16, 7:30pm ($6)
first-avenue.com

Yohuna (aka Johanne Swanson) will be headlining the 7th Street Entry in Minneapolis this October 5th in support of her debut album called Patientness (available on Orchid Tapes).

Swanson talked about how personal the record is to her, “I started writing these songs as a healing, coping mechanism. We tell stories of loss so people don't feel alone. It's important to talk about distress, and sadness, because no one is isolated from those feelings.”

About the title, it’s in irony: “I’m not a patient person. That’s why I never put out a record, and hate recording. But Patientness became this mantra to me when I was in Berlin. To describe how I felt with needing to express patience, but being unable to do it. It was more like something to remind me to slow down and to reflect and be deliberate. The non-word of it came from living in this place where words were starting to mean less and less.”
