The annual Rock the Garden (presented by The Walker Art Center and local public radio station 89.3 The Current) returned to the Walker Art Center last Saturday, July 22, 2017, after a temporary relocation to Boom Island in 2016.
This year’s event was sold out to Walker Art Center and Minnesota Public Radio members, before tickets were made available to the general public.
Between the two stages at Rock the Garden, the majority of guests parked at the main stage. The smaller stage, dubbed the “Garden Stage”, was located near the Cherry & Spoon, and was meant for the local bands.
Garden Stage
Dwynell Roland
There was already a big crowd gathered around the Garden Stage, thanks to DJ Travis Gorman, playing songs to the crowd. Gorman recently won City Pages’ “Best Hip-Hop Producer” in 2017.
Dwynell Roland, looking really pleased at the crowd, freestyle some raps from his fourth record Popular Nobody. Although the record got some major buzz from The Current, the rapper is ever humble on his Rock the Garden appearance, stating, “You’re probably asking yourself, who is this kid?”
Roland also proudly displayed his custom T-Shirt with a Brian Oake tweet that read “Listening to @DwynellRoland on @TheCurrent. Damn. There's no denying talent.”
The highlight of his show was when he invited local favorite Rhymesayers, Doomtree’s P.O.S on stage to help sing ‘Been Here’ and Devon Reason with Finding Novyon to sing ‘Ride The Wave’.
Bruise Violet
From rap to punk, Bruise Violet dressed up for the occasional, complete with snakes on their microphone stands. This was a special show for the trio (guitarist Emily, drummer Danielle, and bassist Bella), as it was Danielle’s 21st birthday. She happily wore a sash that read “Birthday Bi****: 21 and hot, buy her a shot”.
Starting with ‘Talk S*** Get Hit’, followed by ‘I Cried for 45 Minutes Because of Passive Aggressive Guinea Pigs’, you can just tell that the young band was inspired by riot grrrl bands like Bikini Kill and Babes in Toyland (which is actually where they got their band name from).
Danielle mentioned that their ‘A**** Song’ was written when she was 17, before playing something a little more recent, like ‘Teacher’ from their new EP Trophy Wife (2017) and ‘Wasted’ from Survival of the Prettiest (2015).
Dead Man Winter
From hip hop to punk, and now bluegrass, Americana band Dead Man Winter. As mentioned time and time again, bluegrass is massive in Minnesota, and this band drew in the largest crowd... possibly thanks to the fact that the majority of the band members (inger/guitarist Dave Simonett, bassist Tim Saxhaug, and fiddler Ryan Young) are from the super popular Trampled by Turtles band.
We’ve already previously mentioned that the band headlined First Avenue in February 2017 to promote their record Furnace. Listening to the band on stage, the folky band’s songs deals with very personal topics, such as divorce / breakup and how life is a struggle and unexpected acts of god (‘This House Is On Fire’, which was play early in their set).
Main Stage
Margaret Glaspy
New York, by the way of California, Margaret Glaspy, with new bassist Daniel and drummer Tim Kuhl, started Rock the Garden 2017 off to a proper start.
The majority of her set is taken from her solo debut album Emotions and Math (ATO Records), but you can tell that the former The Fundies singer was hard at work writing new songs. She played two of them near the end of her set, the latter of the two had some of the best lyrics, “I’m not your father, I’m not your mother. I’m not your sister trying to waste your time. I’m not the tax man.”
We liked what we heard and looking forward to hearing more from Glaspy’s forthcoming sophomore album.
Car Seat Headrest
Seattle, Washington’s Car Seat Headrest was a big favorite from the younger audience of Rock the Garden. The quartet (singer/guitarist Will Toledo, guitarist Ethan Ives, drummer Andrew Katz, and bassist Seth Dalby), jokingly said that, “Our drummer quit before the show... so we’re going to try something different.”
We’re not exactly sure what they meant by their drummer quitting, as far as we know, it’s still the same drummer Andrew Katz (who is also in the band Skinny Teeth). Still, it felt like it was a much shorter set, our notes only show six songs on their set.
Despite the lack of songs (even though they have recorded 13 albums), the fans loved them. Every time you look at the crowd, you can see them mouthing and singing along to Will Toledo’s heartfelt, emotional, depressing songs. Their best song ‘Drunk Drivers/Killer Whales’ had everybody in front singing. We now know why the popular band sold out their previous Minneapolis show last year.
Car Seat Headrest’s Teens of Denial is available now on Matador Records.
Note: Will Toledo changed his shirt from soundcheck to taking the stage in a black turtleneck. It was uncomfortably hot at the show, that Bruise Violet’s Emily had to mentioned it on their Garden Stage appearance. Emily said that she asked Toledo, “Aren’t you hot under that sweater?”... to which he blankly stared at her, then looked down and didn’t respond.
Benjamin Booker
Since the last time we saw Benjamin Booker at Festival Palomino 2015, he’s released his sophomore album Witness (ATO Records).
Apparently, Booker reconnected with an old school friend Kelly, at the show. He tried to embarrass her, and later say that in 9th grade, she had a cool Modest Mouse T-Shirt, right before playing ‘Witness’.
Booker’s unique raspy vocals, combined with raw, soul-rock, was fun to hear and dance to, even though there is an underlying reference to police brutality in the new album title track.
The Revolution
The festival collectively caught its second wind by early evening as the most anticipated performance of The Revolution hit the stage for a celebratory hour-long set. As Prince’s best known band, there were rumblings of its reformation before the Purple One passed, but that event was the catalyst to regroup and get back on the road once again, some thirty years after the band initially dissolved.
“Ohhh yeah…make some noise!” bassist Brownmark said, to get the party started with ‘Computer Blue’ from the classic Purple Rain soundtrack (WB Records, just re-released in expanded format) as the classic lineup of the group, guitarist Wendy Melvoin, keyboardists Lisa Coleman and Matt Fink (still in surgical scrubs) and drummer Bobby Z took to the stage.
The band plays remarkably tight as ever, the product of both Prince’s intense rehearsals back in the day, and their consistent touring since their first shows back, at First Avenue last September. “This song is more appropriate than ever” Melvoin remarked before an abbreviated ‘America’, with she and Brown sharing lead vocals, though Justin Vernon would make a surprise appearance to help out with ‘Erotic City’.
Stokely Williams (of Mint Condition) then came to lead the party for the rest of the set, beginning with the workout of ‘Let’s Work’, with no one in the crowd able to stay still. “These songs belong to you guys now, we’re just the band” Melvoin said, before the closing ‘Purple Rain’ which had everyone clapping and singing along, as well as many looking and pointing to the sky, in remembrance.
Bon Iver
With the sun tucking beyond the horizon, Bon Iver emerged for their headlining seventy-minute set, beginning with all but the last track of new album, 22, A Million (Jagjaguar Records). Justin Vernon was dressed casually in Orioles baseball cap and charity t-shirt and backed by full band including a cheekily named five-piece horn section, and local native Mike Lewis on bass/sax.
The capacity crowd of 11,000 hushed for the quieter parts and cheered at the louder crescendos, with Vernon noting, “we were here a while ago” referring to their initial appearance at the 2008 installment and being the first to be invited back, “…it seems like a long time ago now”.
‘29 #Strafford APTS’ was “a song about an apartment that never really existed…or did it?!” Vernon mused, the former folk artist now morphed into an experimental, electronic-tinged backwoods Radiohead of sorts.
“That song was called ‘Minnesota, WI’” Vernon said after the 2011 song, “a lot of people in the world don’t know where these places are… I kind of like that”. A roar went up for the magnificent ‘Holocene’ then Vernon went back to 2007’s ‘Creature Fear’ and ‘Skinny Love’ armed with an acoustic guitar seated in low light near the front of the stage, to end the main set. “We’ve only got two minutes” he said, darting back out quickly to grateful fans, managing to squeeze in the encore of 2011’s ‘Beth/Rest’ as the city’s curfew time approached.
This year’s event was sold out to Walker Art Center and Minnesota Public Radio members, before tickets were made available to the general public.

ROCK THE GARDEN
at Walker Arts Center
Saturday 07/22/17 (1pm/$69/Sold Out)
rockthegardenfestival.com
Rock The Garden is back at the Walker Art Center (after relocating to Boom Island due to construction). This year it’s back to a one-day event... and it’s sold out.
One of this year’s headliners, The Revolution, re-formed after Prince’s death in 2016. They’re back, and if you couldn’t get tickets to RTG, you can try seeing them at First Avenue on Sunday.
The other headliner is Bon Iver (pronounced “bon-nee-ver”, taken from the French words “bon hiver”). We previously saw them in Los Angeles in October 2016 and wrote, “Bon Iver and his band opened with a myriad of hieroglyphics and light fixtures so psychedelic it was like Willy Wonka decided to go into the scary cave to meet a bunch of Egyptians. Seriously though, I’m pretty sure some people who expected a night of mellow acoustics forgot to check out Justin Vernon’s newest album, 22, A Million, his 3rd full-length record. A stark contrast from his chilling falsettos in For Emma, Forever Ago and my favorite Bon Iver, his voice became increasingly overshadowed by the band’s pressing indulgence into the stratosphere of autotuneness. Though the lyrics equally as heartfelt and beautiful, it’s a vastly different feel however I commend him for the drastic change...it shows how much he’s been through in the past 5 years.”

If local festivals were racehorses, Festival Palomino is best in show. Again.
The Trampled by Turtles-curated festival, held again in the inside greens of the horse racetrack at Canterbury Park in the southwest suburb of Shakopee, triumphed once more in its sophomore year, as a prime example of a highly enjoyable, expertly-run day of music.
Last year, the two stages were placed on each end of the festival grounds, with each band starting when the previous one finished, though the area was small enough to easily walk to the other stage, or simply turn your head, to experience the next band. This year, the stages (nicknamed ‘Stars’ and ‘Satellites’) were set up next to each other, with a cordoned VIP section in the middle, for a double-barreled look, which also saved the organizers an additional separate set up crew, speaker stack, and front of house board set up.
The result was a little claustrophobic compared to the previous staging, but no less enjoyable, with the only very occasional interference being the sound checking on one stage, bleeding over a couple times to the full performance going on at the other stage. The rest of the festival grounds featured food trucks, traditional and specialty food vendors as well as other beverage and merchandise stands.
With summer’s last breath of warm sunshine in the afternoon followed by the impending fall’s slight chill in the evening, this year’s weather was perfect and a welcome change from the previous year’s storms that evacuated the grounds briefly.
1:30pm Lowest Pair (30 mins)
Kendl Winter and Palmer T. Lee are a string music/ indie folk duo that was the ideal opener for a day-long event of Americana music as well as being an act with local ties. Lee is a Minneapolis native who first met Winter at a bluegrass festival in Winona and a few years later, their debut album 36¢ (Team Love Records) was produced by TBT’s Dave Simonett, with latest album Sacred Heart Sessions (recorded in Duluth), out earlier this year.
Their dual banjo-picking roots sound with gentle harmonies on songs like ‘Irene’ and the new ‘Minnesota Mend Me’, was a worthy appetizer for the full day ahead.
2:05pm Lydia Loveless (35 mins)
Columbus, OH native Loveless was next, playing a somewhat dark punk blend of traditional and alt-country, with four-piece band including stand-up bassist and husband, Ben Lamb, in tow.
Her latest full-length is last year’s Somewhere Else (Bloodshot Records) and her sound on songs like ‘Head’, ‘Chris Isaak’, and ‘Out on Love’, sound like a revv’d up Maria Mckee (of Lone Justice fame), or maybe what Chrissie Hynde would do, if she ever went bluegrass.
2:45pm Calexico (45 mins)
A refreshing bit of Tex-Mex indie rock was served up midday by Tucson, AZ Calexico, spotlighting songs from their newest release, Edge of the Sun (ANTI-/Epitaph Records), and featured seven band members including upright bass and a horn section. 1998’s ‘Frontera’ began their set on a somewhat somber note, but things quickly picked up with ‘Falling From the Sky’, the new album’s opener, and one of three new songs played.
Martin Wenk played some fierce accordion on ‘Sunken Waltz’, the new ‘ Bullets & Rocks’ seemed especially poignant in light of the refugee crisis in Europe, and an “old song from San Piedro, CA”, their cover of The Minutemen’s ‘Corona’ was a Latin-transformed pleasant surprise. Set ender ‘Cumbia de Donde’ got most in the crowd shuffling in place, transposing them to the Mexico City borough of Coyoacán that inspired the song and the new album.
3:35pm Laura Marling (45 mins)
Adorned in layered whites and pastels with a thin scarf blowing in the wind and golden shoes, UK singer-songwriter Laura Marling may have been the best dressed of the day but her storytelling folk songs were what mesmerized the crowd the most.
In support of the this spring’s Short Movie (Ribbon Music), Marling entranced the hushed crowd starting with opener, ‘Take the Night Off / I Was an Eagle’ and for the next 45 min. with a Joni Mitchell-like set of poetry and folk. Marling remains notoriously shy - not saying much between songs, and probably comforted by the shade covering her face for the first half of her performance.
“We’re gonna do a Dolly Parton cover… to lighten things up a bit” she said mid set before launching into a butterfly delicate ‘Do I Ever Cross Your Mind?’ She overcame a few feedback issues following, ending somewhat sad but no less resonant on ‘Alpha Shadows’ and 2010’s ‘Rambling Man’.
4:30pm Shakey Graves (45 mins)
Austin, TX’s Shakey Graves (aka Alejandro Rose-Garcia) immediately followed on the Stars stage, starting and ending his set as a solo artist, but accompanied by a full band, in-between. Playing his own blend of blues/folk/alt-country and with a large Texas flag draped on a speaker stack, Garcia’s set drew mostly from last fall’s And the War Came (Dualtone Music Group).
There is a raw fuzziness to his music, evident in his mission to “raise the turbo out here in the racefield” that he declared early-on, and prompting the crowd for “oohs” and clapping throughout the set. Playing live, the band is more raw and loud than on record, with an additional grittiness added to songs like ‘The Perfect Parts’ and ‘Where a Boy Once Stood’.
A bit gloomy in the narrative Dylan way, the band ended with the brooding ‘Late July’, about a man murdering his gold-digging wife – “I’m eager, young, and starry-eyed” Garcia sings in the song and with newfound fans discovering his music at the festival, no one can argue with that verse.
5:18 pm Benjamin Booker (45 mins)
Dressed unassumingly in a red striped shirt, with cigarette dangling from his mouth, New Orleans’ Benjamin Booker turned everything up in volume for a quaking set of noisy garage rock. Last year’s self-titled debut album (on ATO Records) still sounds fresh, with his style being a hybrid culmination of his influences which include The Gun Club, Blind Willie Johnson, and T. Rex. Booker too, didn’t say much between songs, most artists preferring to let their music do the talking.
Any local fans of early Replacements or Hüsker Dü responded in kind to the punk elements of Booker’s music, often done at breakneck speed with raspy vocals and little abandon, but there was also a soul influence shown on his Otis Redding cover and a swampy country/blues element on ‘Falling Down Blues’, played only with fiddle and mandolin.
Set closer, ‘Have You Seen My Son’ evolved into an almost ten-minute long blitzkrieg crescendo of feedback and guitar jamming before Booker and bandmates casually walked off, like nothing at all had happened.
5:56pm Father John Misty (60 mins)
Any award for sardonic wit and snarkiness has to be given to Father John Misty (aka Josh Tillman), who also delivered a soulful hour-long set that had him in the crowd several times, making an indelible impression. Tillman dressed all in black, with a crack five-piece band, referred cheekily to the venue a couple of times as the “Minneapolis dog-fighting pits”, which got a big laugh.
Opening with the title track of his latest, I Love You, Honeybear (Sub Pop Records), Tillman and band immediately raised the anthemic level of songs and kept momentum going, for most of his hour-long time.
The always self-effacing Tillman mocked himself for trying to dance with Laura Marling during an instrumental of one of his songs, and intro’d ‘The Night Josh Tillman Came to Our Apt.’ as a “horrible little folk ballad”.
‘I’m Writing a Novel’ had a Beatles “Paperback Writer”/Simon and Garfunkel upbeat feel to it, he praised the day as one of “authentic, listener-supported folk rock”, and ‘Bored in the USA’ was pre-empted by tuning at the nearby Satellites stage, prompting Tillman to say “Should we have an Organ-Off, buddy? – I will not hesitate to strap on a keytar”.
7:10pm Dr Dog (60 mins)
Pennsylvania’s Dr. Dog was next, with a hour-long low-fi , feel good, set of indie rock that brought their most devoted fans crushing to get up front. “It’s the right night… for the wrong company” from 2010’s ‘Shadow People’ seemed to be the right lyric as the faithful nudged forward for a better view.
The band hasn’t had a studio album since 2013’s B-Room (ANTI- Records), but did release a live album earlier this year, with new music in the offing soon. Singers Scott McMicken (lead guitar) and Zach Miller (keyboards) traded off on lead vocal chores, with McMicken’s sounding more laid-back and Miller being the higher-pitched of the two.
“You guy’s got a killer sunset out here”, McMicken noticed before ‘Broken Heart’, getting everyone to turn right to see the last rays on the horizon. The band smartly stayed with mostly upbeat songs, culminating with an Architecture in Helsinki cover of ‘Heart It Races’to end their hour.
8:20pm Trampled by Turtles (90 min.)
Finally, it was time for the headliners to take to the Stars stage, amidst fog, dim lighting, and a still gusty wind. The Duluth band started introspectively, with the title track to last year’s Wild Animals (BanjoDad Records) but soon jumped into their trademark hyper-bluegrass with ‘Burn for Free’.
“It’s been quite a day for us, as fans of music” singer Dave Simonett said, finally speaking twenty minutes in, before a harmonizing ‘Empire’. The aching ‘Winners’ about their hometown, seemed appropriate with its opening line, “There were dreams on a full moon night” as a fall chill and clear night embraced the jacketed crowd.
Mandolin player Erik Berry shined on ‘New Son/Burnt Iron’ and bass player Tim Saxhaug took over lead vocals for The Band’s ‘The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down’- done very faithful to the original, yet with that TBT trademark twang added.
Banjo player Dave Carroll took centerstage for his own ‘Truck’ as the band teased Outkast’s ‘So Fresh, So Clean’ while tuning up. The string quartet that accompanied the band like last year, reappeared for a haunting ‘Midnight on the Interstate’, rounding out the song with a rousing elegance.
When you thought that couldn’t be topped, the encore of ‘Alone’, complete with a large troupe of bagpipers that took the song into ‘Amazing Grace’, exceeded everyone’s expectations. The only negative was that the stage was still lit so minimally, it was hard to tell just how many people were on stage for the finale, but that didn’t take away from the majestic performance.
And with another successful day in the books, next year’s Festival Palomino has already started their planning for 2016, which will no doubt be a three-peat, in terms of success. Never has a full day at a horse track sounded so good.

MYNABIRDS
at 7th Street
Friday, 09/18/2015, 8pm ($10)
first-avenue.com
The Mynabirds (aka Laura Burhenn) is back on tour, this time supporting their latest album Lovers Know.
Her latest video is for "Wildfire", taken from the new album, and according to Burhenn, "The song "Wildfire" is partly based on that Jack Kerouac quote ("The only people for me are the mad ones..."), and finding your people. So it felt fitting to be in a town that's pretty new to me, but to feel totally at home in the company of these amazing babes. We made this video as an ode to making new friends and helping each other through dark times." (In the case of the video, a girl helped Burhenn conquer her real fear of roller coasters.)
Bad Bad Hats and Good Night Gold Dust to open.

FESTIVAL PALOMINO
at Canterbury Park
Saturday, 09/19/2015, 1pm ($60)
festivalpalomino.com
We covered Trampled By Turtles' first ever Festival Palomino last year. It was such a great learning experience for us, and we had a great time... so much that it made it onto my top ten favorite shows from 2014 (out of about 180 shows).
If you are worried about missing some of the great lineup (including our favorite master hunter Laura Marling and rocker Benjamin Booker), no problem: you can see them all. There are two stages, so when one band is done - just walk (or turn your head) to the other stage. There is no waiting around while the band is setting up!

KITTEN FOREVER
at Triple Rock Social Club
Wednesday 03/25/15, 8pm ($5)
triplerocksocialclub.com
As usual, triple rock at the Triple Rock.... two catfantastic bands Kitten Forever and Catbath, plus B.O.Y.F.
Kitten Forever was last mentioned when they were one of the triple bands at the Triple Rock with Screaming Females in October 2014. The trio (Corrie Harrigan, Laura Larson, and Liz Elton) has been playing music since 2006. Their latest is 2013's Pressure.
We previously seen Catbath open up for the Polyphonic Spree in August 2014.
John described them:

We previously seen Catbath open up for the Polyphonic Spree in August 2014.
John described them:
...Local trio Catbath opened with a 40 min. set of revved up songs, culled mostly from their debut EP, Bathtime. Travis Franklin, Crystal Stockert, and Kristin Kosieracki have a mid-90’s sounding fuzz about them, similar to The Breeders which was well received on playfully delivered tracks like ‘Law of Average’, ‘Casio’ and ’Bop, Ooo’.
Sandwiched in between is B.O.Y.F., which according to their bandcamp, stands for "Before Others, Yourself Forever!" They used to be called "White Boyfriend".... which may explain why their album is called White Boyfriend.

BENJAMIN BOOKER

Thursday 03/26/15, 7:30pm ($15)
first-avenue.com
New Orleans' Benjamin Booker is touring to Coachella 2015... kicking off the tour in Minneapolis, next Thursday, March 26th.
Booker first came to our attention at his performance at Northside Festival 2014 and again at Varsity Theater with Courtney Barnett on June 2014. We would have caught him again at his sold out show at the Turf Club last September, but we were already committed to La Roux that same evening.
Booker will be playing tracks from his debut self-titled debut album, available now on ATO Records.
Third Man Records' Olivia Jean is opening up the tour. She previously opened up for a number of Jack White shows. Jean's latest album is called Bathtub Love Killings.

WALK THE MOON w/ The Griswolds
at First Avenue
Friday 03/27/15, 6pm ($22 / Sold Out)
Saturday 03/28/15, 6pm ($22 / Sold Out)
first-avenue.com
One of our favorite bands Walk The Moon is billing itself for both Friday and Saturday at First Avenue. Traditionally, when I see a band booking residencies, it is to accommodate for their fans (and of course, both dates are sold out).
The Ohio band is currently on tour in support of their latest album Talking Is Hard.
Please read our reviews of WTM's previous appearances:
Walk the Moon (with Iggy Azalea) at TCF Bank Stadium, Minneapolis (17 Oct 2014)
Walk The Moon at First Avenue, Minneapolis (29 Oct 2013)
We previously caught Australia's The Griswolds at the Nether Bar in Minneapolis last July 2014.
We noted that at the time, that the band was recently chosen by Spotify's Emerge campaign (and their music was reaching a much wider audience).
The Griswolds' latest single "If You Wanna Stay", is taken from their debut Be Impressive landed at #18 on the SiriusXM’s Alt18.

Minneapolis Music Guide: September 28 - September 30, 2014
As a precursor to Rocktober in Minneapolis, this is the weekly Minneapolis live concert guide for the last few days of September ONLY.
For the month of October, we will preview multiple shows, starting this Friday, simply because traditionally there are just too many shows crammed into the month of October. For example, last year W♥M covered a record-breaking 46 shows in October!! We're not going to remotely try and beat last year's numbers .... but, for sure, we're definitely going to be really busy.
You may be wondering why October is crazy busy? It is because we're getting a ton national and international bands coming to and from CMJ Music Festival in New York (East), Austin City Limits Music Festival in Texas (South), Coral Skies Music Festival in Florida (Southeast) and TBD Music Festival in Sacramento (West). Plus, bands are just generally out touring for their new album, which are usually released four quarter.
Anyway, here is the weekly guide of some Minneapolis live concerts and events from September 28 to September 30.

FIRST AVENUE
Lykke Li w/ Mapei
What a great way to start the week: with Sweden's Lykke Li! Lykke Li is out touring in support of her latest album I Never Learn, out now on Atlantic Records/LL Recordings.
For this US Fall tour, Lykke Li asked her idol Mapei to go on tour with her. Says Lykke Li, "I am beyond excited and thrilled to announce that my dear friend Mapei will come on tour with me. It is insanely symbolic to me as she's been my idol ever since I saw her the first time when I was 17. She was the coolest thing I've ever seen and she dared me to follow my dream.... First stop was her Bushwick apartment and many open mics, bruised hearts, blood, sweat and tears later we will join forces again to tour America. Don't you dare miss it."
With that glowing endorsement, we cannot wait to check out Mapei!

FINE LINE MUSIC CAFE
Panda Bear w/ YACHT and Blues Control
I'm gutted that I cannot attend this show, particularly because I absolutely love seeing YACHT (currently featuring Jona Bechtolt and Claire L. Evans) the last time they played in Minneapolis. Seems the band is opening up for Panda Bear (aka Noah Lennox of Animal Collective).
Also on the bill is Blues Control from Woodstock of east Pennsylvania.
Oddly enough, the Minneapolis date is the only date that does not feature White Fang, whom YACHT is currently tour with. YACHT's latest release is "Plastic Soul" single, which came out January 2014... although lately, the band is interested in promoting their iOS app "5 Every Day".
UPDATE: Sorry, going off old information, their latest release is "Where Does This Disco?", which came out on Downtown Records earlier this month, September 9th, 2014.

CEDAR CULTURAL CENTER
Mount Eerie w/ Waveless
There is a new 12-track album called Sauna from Mount Eerie, coming out in 2015 via P.W. Elverum & Sun in early 2015. The theme of the album is listed as "vikings and zen and real life." It comes after over 15 months of solo production in The Unknown, a studio in Anacortes, Washington housed in a reclaimed church.
Apparently, Mount Eerie will be showcasing the new material as "extremely stripped down" versions on this upcoming September tour.
Opening up for the Minneapolis show will be local trio Waveless, featuring Hannah Kathleen (is that a nod to the riot grrrl Kathleen Hanna?), Jared Sather and Dustin McChesney.

FIRST AVENUE
La Roux w/ Midnight Magic
If you follow W♥M coverage, we tend to really love British bands. We've had our eye on London's La Roux (featuring singer Elly Jackson and record producer Ben Langmaid) for a while now .... ever since their single "Bulletproof" hit the Billboard Hot 100 charts. We also love that one of our favorite bands, New Order, also heavily endorse the band and semi-recently asked them to tour with them.
La Roux is currently in American to promote their latest album, Trouble In Paradise (Cherrytree/Interscope), the followed-up to their GRAMMY Award winning self-titled debut.
Opening up for La Roux is Midnight Magic, a "cosmic disco" band from New York, featuring music vets Morgan Wiley and W. Andrew Raposo, and vocalist Tiffany Roth.

7TH STREET ENTRY
Drowners w/ Bully
Since New York's Drowners and Nashville's Bully are playing next door (at the 7th Street Entry), I may end up trying to cover both shows (La Roux and Drowners).
The first time I saw Drowners (at First Avenue 04/24/2014), they blew me away and I would love to see them again for this Dr Martens #STANDFORSOMETHING Tour 2014.
AND YES, I will make sure to wear my 8-hole Dr Martens.

TURF CLUB
Benjamin Booker w/ Blank Range
New Orleans' Benjamin Booker came to our attention when he wowed us in New York for Northside Festival. We had to confirm it ourselves, when we caught Booker at the sold out show with Courtney Barnett in at the Varsity Theater.
Now Booker is back in Minneapolis, supporting his debut self-titled debut album (ATO Records), and he triumphantly sold out the recently remodeled Turf Club in St Paul.
If you've never heard Booker's music, check out his recent (September 2014) live recording on Spotify Sessions.

Courtney Barnett at the Varsity Theater, Minneapolis (24 Jun 2014)
|

Setlist

Having recently sold out all three of her NXNE shows and various shows around the country, including her appearance at the Varsity Theater, in Minneapolis, on Tuesday night, Courtney Barnett is taking North America by storm.
New Orleans' Benjamin Booker opened up the show with a 40-min performance of this nice mix of rock/punk/blues fusion music.
We recently caught Booker at Northside Festival, in New York, which Justina described as "[having] a traditional rocker stage presence, swinging his guitar around, seemingly not giving a s**t..."
His eight song set included tracks from his upcoming self-titled debut album, set for an August 19th release date by ATO Records. He ended the set with his biggest song, "Violent Shiver," which was his choice track on his national television debut on Late Show With David Letterman. Look for Booker to next appear as the support act for Jack White's summer tour.
Typical of new artists, Courtney Barnett played an hour of music, with the majority of songs taken from her two EPs, The Double EP: A Sea Of Split Peas, out now on Mom + Pop Music. This is a perfect show for fans who already bought / imported the EPs and know and love these songs.
Not all the songs were known, Barnett threw in some new tracks, including "Blah" and "P.E. Teacher," which will likely appear on her upcoming debut album, which she promised will be recorded "very soon."
Barnett also mentioned that this was her first time ever in Minneapolis, along with her bassist Bones (yes, as in skeleton bones) and drummer Dave. She was grateful to be on this really successful North American tour (having sold out numerous shows across the country) and mentioned a couple of time that she was happy to be in Minneapolis and to see so many fans.
At the end of the show, she asked the audience for some feedback, "Do you have anything you'd like to say?" One fan shouted for them to come back, which Barnett quickly replied, "Oh, we'll come back!" as if that was the obvious answer.
The encore had Barnett coming back, minus the band, to do a new track, "Depreston." As she confessed, like many of her songs, Barnett's songs starts off fun, but ends up sounding very depressing.
Courtney Barnett is in the middle of her North American tour, in support of her debut The Double EP: A Sea Of Split Peas. She recently added a string of new dates with San Fermin and Mikhael Paskalev:

Northside Festival: Benjamin Booker and Mac DeMarco @ House of Vans, New York 06/12/14

Read More

The Northside Festival is New York City's largest and most accessible discovery festival. From June 12-19, 2014, hundreds of bands, entrepreneurs, filmmakers, innovators, and over 80,000 fans will converge on Brooklyn over eight days to witness an incredible showcase of what’s next in music, film, entrepreneurship and art.
As a giant warehouse, renovated into a concert venue, House of Vans sits in the Greenpoint neighborhood of Brooklyn. Thursday’s show started off with Benjamin Booker, a New Orleans guitarist accompanied by Max Norton on drums and an additional guitarist. Having only heard one song, his single “Violent Shiver,†I only had a vague idea of what his music would sound like. “Violent Shiver†seems to be the most pop-ish of his mainly garage, punk rock sound with an extra mix of blues. With about a hundred people in the crowd, Booker managed to ignite a slight most pit by the third quarter of the set. Booker has a traditional rocker (doesn’t that sound like an oxymoron) stage presence, swinging his guitar around (to the point where the microphone stand fell, though it remains to be seen if that was purposeful or not), seemingly not giving a shit, and screaming his lyrics at times.
Mac DeMarco was a crowd favorite that night at House of Vans, creating a crowd five times bigger by the time they began their set. With their chill rock music, Mac DeMarco played crowd favorites (though it seemed like all the songs were met with extreme enthusiasm) like “Salad Days†and “Passing Out Pieces.†With a tucked in shirt and his signature cap, DeMarco acted grandpa-like throughout the set, from the way he plays his guitar to his dancing to his extremely polite tone of voice. There were, of course, moments where he definitely was not so well-mannered, like when he decided to put the security guard in the pit between his legs, or when he mentioned the band would be by the merch later and said, “and if you don’t want to hang, fuck you!†Though his music does not inspire mosh pits (in the traditional sense), there was an almost consistent one in the middle of the crowd by the fifth song to the end of the set, where DeMarco crowd surfed for a good minute.
