YACHT at 7th Street Read More YACHT It's no secret that I like YACHT (Young Americans Challenging High Technology). What's more interesting is that modern YACHT is different from early YACHT. Personally, I think YACHT is much, much better with Claire L. Evans. . … Juiceboxxx Milwaukee’s punky rapper Juiceboxxx is playing the Minneapolis Eagles Club #34 on Monday. As of this writing, I couldn’t find a listing on the venue’s website for additional information …

YACHT
+ Juiceboxxx

We love Yacht (stylized as YACHT, for Young Americans Challenging High Technology). Currently the group features Claire L Evans and longtime founder Jona Bechtolt. The band’s seventh album Chain Tripping (DFA Records) features several new collaborators, like Ross Goodwin, Mario Klingemann, programmer and poet Allison Parrish,and the New Zealand-based visual artist Tom White.

We first saw Yacht opening for Vampire Weekend in April 2008 and noted that his music was very different from the popular band he was opening up for: “… one-man-band, Jona Bechtolt, or better known by his stage name Yacht. His music and style, it didn't mesh well with Vampire Weekend's pseudo caribbean/reggae inspired rock and roll.”

Show up early to check out Juiceboxxx, who is touring for his new album It’s Easy To Feel Like A Nobody When You’re Living In The City (available February 28th on Dangerbird Records). We’ve noted that the Milwaukee’s rapper Juiceboxxx was last seen in Sept 2017.

+ Dusty Heart
Turf Club
Mon 01/06/2020 (8pm/$22)
turfclub.net

Local favorite country/western band The Cactus Blossoms will be playing at the Turf Club every Monday night in January.

Before David Lynch hand-picked them for music in his new Twin Peaks show, we caught the band in April 2013 and wrote, “ Opening up were Jack Torrey and Page Burkum of The Cactus Blossoms, their fifth show working for Rodriguez. They did The Cactus Blossoms songs, but stripped down to double acoustics… lending their music to sound overtly very country and western. Highlight of their set was a cover of Roger Miller's "The Moon Is High", containing the very funny word-play lyrics of "but come the dawn and it will dawn on me you're gone".”

Residency:

01/06/2020 Turf Club with Dusty Heart
01/13/2020 Turf Club with Jack Klatt
01/20/2020 Turf Club special guests to be announced.

BILLY IDOL

first-avenue.com

Bill Idol’s last Minnesota appearance was earlier in January 2015, where he was the star of local radio station The Current's 10th Anniversary celebration. The reports we got was that it was somewhat disappointing, as it was not a full set. Fans who paid $25 only got about a 20-minute set. For the fans who yelled ‘more, more, more’, Idol is answering the call with a headlining show at First Avenue this July 10th. Of course, it’s sold out (even at $70 a ticket!).

The Blind Shake will open.

Her latest single “Boyz N Poizn” recently came out to rave reviews, and with the fun baseball themed-video, it’s easy to see why so many people, such as stars Taylor Swift, Tove Lo and Chloe Grace Moretz, all are falling in love with Ryan. Ryan’s music was streamed more than 24 Million on Spotify.

Co-headliner Cardiknox, determined to “Make America Dance Again”, was previously in town March 2016 with Canadian pop singer Carly Rae Jepsen. The duo (Lonnie Angle and Thomas Dutton) is promoting their debut album Portrait (Glamour Records).

Secret Weapons will open. We last caught the band on one of their earliest live shows in April 2016 and wrote, “We’re pretty lucky to have caught them very early in their career, so it should be fun and interesting to see where Secret Weapons will go from here.”
