Small Black

The tour is in support of Small Black’s new album Cheap Dreams , which came out in April 2021. We previously caught Small Black in November 2015 and wrote, “we've seen the band before and …

Korine

Chillwave pioneers Small Black will be back on tour this August 2021. All USA dates are supported by Korine. …

Brooklyn’s indie band Small Black stopped by the 7th Street Entry on Saturday, August 7, 2021, touring in support of their latest album Cheap Dreams. This is the first release from the 100% Electronica, leaving their original label Jagjaguwar behind.

This is also the first First Avenue-venue show that we’ve attended that requires either proof of a full series of COVID-19 vaccination, or proof of a negative COVID-19 test within 72 hours.

Korine 2021 Tour

Philadelphia’s electronic pop band Korine opened up the show… starting slightly later than advertised,

The duo (Morgy Ramone and Trey Frye) was very excited to play live again, writing before they headed out on tour, “Can’t believe we’re going to play our first show since pre pandemic this week. Tour starts this Thursday in Columbus OH, tickets are almost gone. See you there.”

After the second song, “Cold Heart” finished, Morgy asked, “Can we get a little less of that?” (pointing to the venue’s back light). Now in complete darkness, except for the custom Korine red light strips, the show continues. Most of their set seems to be taken from their latest, The Night We Raise, except for a few dance-numbers, like “Burning Up” from New Arrangements.

Near the end of their set, Morgy announced that they’re going to play some new songs, “No one’s heard of these before.”

Korine’s new album The Night We Raise came out on September 4, 2020, via Born Losers Records (US) and Data Airlines (EU).

Chillwave pioneers Small Black started their set with a slower numbers, “Duplex” and “Canoe”… before ramping up to a dance/high energy song, “Breathless”. Unfortunately, before they can kick off the dance song, they had technical difficulties and had to stop before resetting and restarting the song again.

Singer Josh Kolenik talked about how he was obsessed with Minneapolis, particularly Minnesota Twins baseball player Kirby Puckett. So he’s always excited to come to the Twin Cities (the band’s been here in 2015, 2014, and 2013).

Apparently, the band loves Best Coast’s song, “The Sun Was High and So Was I”, so they decided to make a faithful adaption of the song.

Their encore consists of “Only a Shadow”, taken from one of their most popular album Limits of Desire, followed by “Song To Ruin”, from their latest Cheap Dreams.

California’s rock duo Best Coast (Bethany Cosentino and Bobb Bruno) is returning to First avenue this Monday, February 9th, in support of their first album in five years, Always Tomorrow (Concord Records).

We caught the band in Sep 2017, and said, “The duo actually haven’t released new music since California Nights (in 2015), but they were touring with Paramore, and saw an opportunity to book some headlining shows in some areas that Paramore wasn’t playing. Luckily that meant that band took over the Turf Club in St Paul on Monday night to a very happy crowd.”

Best Coast

Best Coast is currently touring in support of their latest, California Nights, out now on Harvest Records. ....

Brilliant Beast

Opening up the show was Brilliant Beast, featuring siblings Hannah and Jordan (who was apparently a massive Morrissey fan). They recently released a split EP with fellow Minneapolis band Fury Things, …

California’s Best Coast just played a sold out show at the Turf Club in St Paul last week (September 18, 2017).

Local band Brilliant Beast (Hannah and Jordan Porter, plus Eric and Ronnie) opened up the show with a solid 40-min set.

As previously mentioned, the band has a shoegaze, a little psych rock to their music. They hardly spoke, except to thank the audience for showing up early… and that they were literally “from down the street”.

‘Other Side’ was dedicated to Kaylee, and they were really excited to actually do a “real tour” at the start of October in support of their new EP Jelly.

Best Coast is a duo of Bethany Cosentino and Bobb Bruno, but for their live shows, they’ve added drummer Brady Miller, bassist Brett Mielke, and keys/additional guitarist Joe Bautista, to their lineup.

Cosentino started her career as a child address, before her love of writing and performing music took over her career in the experimentalist drone group Pocahaunted. It wasn’t until she met Bruno that the two started collaborating with lo-fi demos and eventually started recording under the name Best Coast. Needless to say, Best Coast’s sound has elements of pop, drone, indie, and even jangle rock.

The duo actually haven’t released new music since California Nights (in 2015), but they were touring with Paramore, and saw an opportunity to book some headlining shows in some areas that Paramore wasn’t playing. Luckily that meant that band took over the Turf Club in St Paul on Monday night to a very happy crowd.

‘Boyfriend’ is undoubtedly the band’s biggest hit song to date, and, of course, they saved the song for nearly last on their set list.

Best Coast tour dates:

9/25/17 Berkeley, CA @ Cornerstone *
9/26/17 Los Angeles, CA @ Greek Theatre

DEAD CROSS
at First Avenue
Tuesday 09/19/2017 (7:30pm/$25)

What do you get when you cross Dave Lombardo (from Slayer) with Mike Patton (from Faith No More) and Justin Pearson & Michael Crain (of Retox)? You get Dead Cross. The supergroup’s debut self-title recorded came out on August 4th via Seizure & Desist Records.

Although the band may sound new, the truth is, they’ve been around since 2015, when they made their live debut with vocalist Gabe Serbian in December of that year. Unfortunately, Serbian left the group, so they’ve had to re-record their record … now with Mike Patton’s vocals.

They’ve booked a show at Riot Fest in Chicago this year, and as a special bonus, they’ve added Minneapolis to their limited tour dates for 2017.

Their special guests Secret Chiefs 3 will open.

Japanese noise fans, be sure to catch experimental tribal noise collective OOIOO next Thursday at the Walker Art Center. As you know, we are big fans of Boredoms, and co-founder and drummer Yoshimi P-We is band leader for OOIOO.

We have been following Boredoms and other Japanese bands and we can confirm that it's very rare to see Japanese bands on U.S. soil... so you'll want to be there next Thursday at the William and Nadine McGuire Theater.

Show up early to catch a special set by Minnesota-based Javanese musician Joko Sutrisno and his Sumunar Gamelan Ensemble.

How the Walker Art Center described the show:

Catch a rare US appearance by the enigmatic Japanese avant-tribal-noise-pop collective OOIOO (oh-oh-eye-oh-oh). Under the intrepid leadership of Yoshimi P-We (cofounder of Japanese band Boredoms and the inspiration behind the Flaming Lips’s album Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots) the group has subverted expectations and warped perceptions of what constitutes pop and experimental music since the mid-1990s. Simply put, “It’s rugged, inspired, original music” (New York Times). OOIOO perform their Minnesota debut on Thursday, December 3, 8 pm in the William and Nadine McGuire Theater.

The concert opens with a special set by Minnesota-based Javanese musician Joko Sutrisno and his Sumunar Gamelan Ensemble.

Tickets to OOIOO are $20 ($16) available at walkerart.org/tickets or by calling 612.375.7600

GO96.3'S SNOW SHOW '15
at Northrop Auditorium
12/03 - 12/04/2015, 7pm ($19.63/$47.50)
northrop.umn.edu

Wow, Go 96.3 continued to book some of the best shows in town, and all for such an affordable price. They often book these shows, undercharging them, all in an effort to promote brand awareness of the new radio station. I think it's working, as every time they book a show, we are talking about it... and this upcoming double-night "Go96's Snow Show '15" is no exception.

For the second night:

Best Coast

Best Coast is currently touring in support of their latest, California Nights, out now on Harvest Records. ....

Bully

The band is fronted by producer/engineer Alicia Bognanno and from what I've heard from their debut album Feels Like, I quite like it! The record comes out June 23rd. ....

California's Best Coast is currently on tour for their critically acclaimed album California Nights (Harvest Records), stopping by First Avenue's mainroom in Minneapolis last night, June 8th.

Bully

Opening up the show was Nashville's Bully, lead by singer Alicia Bognanno .... who revealed to us that she's actually from Minnesota. Although the band has been in Minneapolis a few times (with JEFF the Brotherhood in April 2015 and Drowners in September 2014), this was their first time at the glorious mainroom at First Avenue.

Bully previewed quite a bit of music from their debut album Feels Like, which is coming out June 23rd on on StarTime International (Columbia), including set intro "I Remember", "Brainfreeze", and "Trash". From the sound of the live songs and also listening to the Steve Albini-produced album, I have to agree with critics comparing the band to 90s alt-rock like Dinosaur Jr and Pavement.

Best Coast came on stage to the introduction song of Metallica's "Battery". Apparently, I've read that Metallica is also a huge Best Coast fan, and have picked the band to play at their music festival in 2012.

Bethany Cosentino

Best Coast's fanbase are young and passionate - and they clearly love the band. For example, by the time "Crazy for You" was played, a fan named Adriana gave singer Bethany Cosentino a jean jacket that read "Running Through with Best Coast". Then later on prior to "Fading Fast", another fan gave Cosentino a vodka martini (previously they asked if they can buy her a drink). Cosentino said her mother told her not to accept drinks from strangers. Just so they weren't strangers, Cosentino asked the fan what her name was (Chelsea) and she joked, "I hope you didn't spike the drink."

The fans who filled the dancefloor would often sing along to the more popular song, causing Cosentino to go "emo for one second". She explained that she sometime feels like "sh**", but when she hears people singing back her lyrics, she felt suddenly uplifted.

Highlight of the night will likely be their encore song, "Boyfriend". This is perhaps their best known song, the lead single from their debut studio album Crazy for You from 2010.

Best Coast's California Nights is out now on Harvest Records, the band continues on their tour:

6/09: Waiting Room - Omaha, NE
6/10: The Ready Room - St. Louis, MO
6/12: Paradise - Boston, MA
6/13: Northside Fest - Brooklyn, NY
6/14: Union Transfer - Philadelphia, PA

Gabriel Jorgensen's project Ancient Mariner is having their EP release concert on Sunday, June 7th. We previously saw the band open up for Bishop Allen in 2014 and mentioned that they were featured on Communion Club Nights in December 2014.

Bands on the bill:

Ancient Mariner
Originally a solo project started by in 2011, Ancient Mariner began in the monotonous suburbs of Aurora, CO. After years of playing and writing around town, Gabriel decided to scrap all that he had written and recorded up to that point and start fresh.

Carbon Handshake
Based out of Minneapolis, Minnesota, Carbon Handshake are an eclectic group of indie-rockers whose latest EP, Pulp Life, was released on March 9, 2015. By employing a distinct mixture of sounds, loops, and texture, their music successfully reconciles amorphous and ethereal sonics with immediate pop sensibilities and disciplined songwriting.

Worth Your While
Too mysterious. From Minneapolis.

No opening bands listed on Triple Rock's website, but I am told that J Fernandez is opening. Fernandez's upcoming new LP Many Levels of Laughter is coming out June 9th on Joyful Noise. The album was inspired by real things in his life ... like his Russian landlord, among other things.

Rock the Garden

The annual Summer music festival Rock the Garden, organized by the Walker Art Center and 89.3 The Current, just started last night and continues …

The rain gods had decided to be benevolent… and we were all the better for it.

The crowd

Just mid-way through June, Minnesota was already experiencing a record month of rainfall and just lived through a single-day high mark for the most rain for any day in June history, so this year’s Rock the Garden festival held at the Walker Art Center, seemed slightly in doubt.

Instead, the weekend festival, which expanded to two days for the first time this year, was not affected by any weather; grounds were dry, skies were sunny, and the event was a buoyant celebration of the soundscape of alternative, hip-hop, rock and pop music, as heard on sponsoring MPR radio station, The Current. Here’s a full rundown of the acts:

Lizzo-

Lizzo

The Grrrl Prty hip-hopper considered Rock the Garden a “some day” gig and was honored to open the event. We last saw her showing her impressive soul chops, in an encore duet with St. Paul and the Broken Bones, and she impressively followed her Rock the Garden set with a jet-setting trip across the pond, to play the fabled Glastonbury Festival.

Supporting last fall’s Lizzobangers (Totally Gross National Product), she mentioned her Houston roots before ‘Lizzie Borden’ then gave appropriate props before ‘WERK Pt. II’ to the local music scene for giving her music, its first real start. Lizzo brought out the rest of Grrrl Prty for ‘Wegula’ and radio single, ‘Batches & Cookies’ really worked up the already warm crowd. Her wide vocal range was on display for ‘Faded’ and proved a fine opening to the hours of music that lay ahead.

Jeremy Messersmith-

Jeremy Messersmith

Remember Messersmith shyly playing solo on acoustic guitar, not that long ago? That guy has completely changed—now, more confident and heartily backed by a large ten-piece band (which included the Laurel String Quartet we just saw with Dan Wilson), Messersmith charmed the crowd with selections from his much-bigger sounding, Heart Murmurs (Glassnote Records). Lead single, ‘Tourniquet’ got the crowd in his corner right away, followed by more recent single, ‘It’s Only Dancing’.

Older songs like ‘A Girl, A Boy, and a Graveyard’ went down well, but the heated festival crowd was clearly in the mood for more up-tempo numbers. So, calling it a “No Apologies” track (in a nod to Current DJ Mary Lucia) Messersmith and band covered Miley Cyrus’ ‘Wrecking Ball’ in a slower but assured way with the musical impact that can only be gained by being backed by such a large ensemble. Moving with three more back-to-back songs from his latest, ‘Bubblin’, ‘Hitman’ and ‘Ghost’, he ended with fan favorite from 2010, ‘Violet’.

Best Coast-

Best Coast

“You know how to do the first day of summer!” Best Coast vocalist Bethany Cosentino remarked, and their upbeat California sun-drenched songs, were the perfect soundtrack for a bright June afternoon. Their latest, a 7-track EP called Fade Away (Jewel City Records) was well represented, with the duo (rounded out by guitarist/multi-instrumentalist Bobb Bruno) and band playing all but the record’s last two tracks, and Cosentino did make mention of a new album coming this fall.

Though the LA-based Cosentino remarked about the heat several times (comparing it to Red Lobster), songs like ‘The Only Place’ and ‘Summer Mood’ seemed incredibly appropriate for the Arts Center’s sloped grass hill filled with sunglasses, hats, and nodding heads. Bruno kept mostly busy to himself, to Cosentino’s left and older songs like early single, ‘When I’m with You’, seemed to get the strongest response. “Hope we Rocked your Garden”, Cosentino said, ending with ‘Each and Everyday’, from 2010 breakout album, Crazy for You.

Matt and Kim-

Kim and beer

“Let’s get weird!”-Brooklyn indie dance-pop duo Matt and Kim dared the crowd, early into their late afternoon set. The on and off-stage couple, Matt Johnson (vocals/keyboards) and Kim Schifino (drums), more than lived up to that, in their over-caffeinated, high energy set, that was more than perfect for the burgeoning festival crowd.

Hundreds of balloons were released, confetti was thrown, both climbed all over their instruments, Schifino dared people to crowd surf from the pit to the soundboard, and she eventually walked on crowd members’ hands, all of which played true to their “Let’s Get Weird” mantra. In the process, they became the most energetic and audience-interacting act of the weekend, that left everyone smiling after.

Matt and Kim

Leaning on their latest, 2012’s Lightning (on Fader Label) the pair also mixed in a fair amount of covers including Europe’s ‘The Final Countdown’, Salt-n-Pepa’s ‘Push It’, and one “by a great American poet, Robert Kelly… you may know him as R. Kelly”, Johnson mused, before the band broke into ‘Ignition’. They also seem to have a current obsession with DJ Snake and Lil’ Jon’s ‘Turn Down for What’, whose samples were peppered in throughout their set.

First big single, ‘Cameras’ was played surprisingly early, but the momentum kept building into a frenzied pace, that the audience didn’t seem to mind. Their energy was infectious, from the very first song to the set-ending cover of Dr. Dre/Snoop’s ‘Next Episode’ and Lightning’s ‘It’s Alright’.

De La Soul-

De La Soul

Long Island hip-hop trio at least knew that a lot of younger people in the Walker audience had maybe never even heard of them. But, playing with a harder edge than on record, the group (MCs Posdnuos and Dave, and MC/DJ Maseo) made sure the audience remembered them after their night-closing performance. Even mentioning they’d released their entire catalog online for free (a pirated-sourced version, no less), the three were backed by the ever-seasoned Los Angeles nine-piece, The Rhythm Roots All-Stars, who has backed up almost every late 80’s/early ‘90s rap act, at some point.

A mild surprise was their version of James Brown horn section group The J.B.’s, ‘Pass the Peas’ and they had the audience guessing their favorite day of the week, which on this night could only have been ‘Saturdaze’.

A slightly different version of best-known hit, ‘Me, Myself & I’ followed, somewhat lazily, but tempo ramped back up with Gorillaz hit, ‘Feel Good, inc.’, which was a crowd favorite, though could have benefitted from a recorded Damon Albarn vocal, to fill out the song better. A verse of Madonna’s ‘Like a Virgin’ would follow, leading into ‘Ring Ring Ring’ and the trio asking the swaying crowd, “Hey, how ya doin’?”
